"This has potential! This has potential!"
At that moment, having figured out the key information, Young Master Wang's heart suddenly began to pound violently.
I almost missed out on such an important treasure!
Young Master Wang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"No, we can't be too hasty. We need to stay calm. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. It's too early to be happy now. We still need to try it out."
"Uh... ordinary demon kings are really useless to me, and their research value far outweighs their practical value. However, if my deduction is true, I really want to capture that peacock demon king and enslave him to death!"
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Wang Zheng immediately dismissed it.
"Unfortunately, they have a powerful backer, so I don't dare offend them for the time being. Besides, there are only two bracelets. I need to keep one in the capital for Lao Zhao and his team to develop. I can't possibly go all the way to Hongsawaddy for experiments..."
Young Master Wang, having gotten a good deal, pretended to be innocent and promptly put the two gold rings into his storage space before swaggering out of the main hall.
"It's a pity there are only two of these enhanced Beast Taming Rings. If I had a dozen or twenty, I would have built a demon king army to play with. Then, when we fought outside, it would be a group brawl, which would scare people to death!"
As he dreamt of this, Young Master Wang suddenly realized a serious problem.
"Speaking of which, no one said that a Beast Taming Ring can only capture one spirit beast. Also, if I capture a demon king, can I release it directly, or do I have to wait for it to die before I can capture it again?"
Being illiterate is really difficult; it seems I need to go and sound out Qin Yao first!
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as Wang Zheng was trying to get some information out of him, Qin Yao, who had been standing still at the entrance of the main hall, suddenly shouted.
"Senior Brother Wang Zheng, come quickly! I just saw a phantom figure float past in this main hall. Can you take a look and see if it's any clue?"
As they were talking, Qin Yao ran over in a few steps and instantly hid behind Wang Zheng.
She herself didn't know why she had been so bold just now, going to touch the barrier seal by herself, without even noticing when her senior brother left.
Looking back now, I feel a little scared of my own boldness.
As for our young master Wang, he didn't think much of it. He just looked at the magnificent main hall gate and didn't notice anything unusual.
After offering a few words of comfort in a low voice, he decided to first search all the side halls with looser restrictions according to his plan, and only deal with the two main halls that sealed the great demons last.
Qin Yao, having been distracted by the sect's main hall, hadn't noticed Wang Shao's actions. When she saw Wang Zheng casually strolling around and then open the door to the scripture pavilion at the back, she was immediately astonished and opened her mouth wide.
"Senior brother, have you already broken through the restrictions on these pavilions? That's truly impressive. Did you gain anything from it?"
Although he knew the girl wasn't the kind of person who was scheming, Young Master Wang still led her over and then told her the truth.
"That pavilion seems to contain a library with countless precious books and classics, but unfortunately, after so many years of weathering, it's untouchable now. I was thinking of waiting until all the senior brothers arrive before seeing if there are any other ways to collect them..."
To be honest, Young Master Wang had considered scanning all these ancient books into his brain and storing them, but those books were so fragile that they would break at the slightest touch, so he had no choice.
After all, scanning information in a book is different from perceiving a character's attributes; you still need to see the contents. But right now, he can't even touch the book, so he can only wait and see if there will be another chance.
Young Master Wang wasn't sure if these ancient sects' legacy texts would survive intact in the end.
"Sigh, it all comes down to luck. Hopefully, others have similar methods..."
As for the information in the jade slip, we'll talk about it when we get back. Anyway, he's not going to hand over the two beast-taming rings.
Upon hearing what Wang Zheng said, Qin Yao quickly stopped her outstretched hand. Looking at the dazzling array of bookshelves in the attic in front of her, her eyes lit up at first, but after carefully turning around a few times and finding nothing new, she lost interest.
Given her age and limited experience, she might be intrigued by the two beast-taming rings, but these books...
For some, it might be a priceless treasure, something they would never trade for a thousand pieces of gold; for many more, it would be met with disdain and contempt.
Clearly, Qin Yao is the latter.
If Han Xiaozi from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain were to be teleported with Young Master Wang, he would be incredibly excited, since no one could say for sure whether the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain's coveted inheritance was among them.
However, this genius girl from the Daoist sect had much less interest in these things. After learning that Young Master Wang planned to break the restrictions on other buildings, she kept urging him to start the next exploration.
She was already imagining herself exploring the ruins and the admiring looks on her senior brothers and sisters' faces when they saw her.
Qin Yao's little scheme naturally couldn't escape the notice of the cunning Young Master Wang. However, her thoughts coincided with those of Young Master Wang, who then proceeded with the plan, meticulously destroying all the restrictions on the buildings from the inside out.
It must be said that these protective measures were quite weak in Wang Dashao's hands, and he easily swept away the few dozen buildings.
However, what they saw only confirmed Wang Zheng's previous conclusion.
This ancient beast-taming sect must have been struck by disaster one day. Either all its members and disciples hurriedly evacuated, or they were all slaughtered.
Otherwise, these buildings wouldn't appear so cluttered.
Of course, if it weren't for this, the remaining benefits wouldn't have been available for him, Young Master Wang, to collect centuries later.
Unfortunately, he never found another treasure like the Beast Taming Ring.
Apart from a few books that were accidentally caught in the protection and thus survived, there were only a handful of elixirs left.
While it wasn't entirely without gain, compared to the huge profits he made in the Yellow Sea last time, it was understandable that Young Master Wang's face was gloomy.
Especially with Qin Yao's explanation, they learned that most of the books they had found seemed to record the customs and daily anecdotes of ancient times.
Those pills are just "pet food" for feeding spirit beasts and don't have much research value.
Although Wang Zheng was prepared for this, he was also glad that he had a knowledgeable woman by his side who knew a little about everything. Otherwise, he would have been completely clueless after bringing these things back, and Lao Zhao would have had to study them for a long time.
