Chapter 79
Lin Shenzong's treasure house is divided into three floors.
When Gu Liangyi and his companions had just arrived, they had heard from the eldest disciple Lin Xiang that the first floor contained mostly magical instruments and spiritual stones, as well as some minerals and medicinal materials for easy storage, while the second floor contained the secret manuals of cultivation techniques that were kept secret in the world of immortal cultivation.
But he didn't say what the third level was.
Because only the sect master and elders are qualified to enter the third floor, even Lin Xiang, who is definitely the chief disciple under the sect master, is not allowed to enter under normal circumstances.
This time, Elder Zhou allowed Mo Da to select three members to enter the third floor. They could pick any item to take away. As for the things on the remaining two floors, they could take whatever they wanted as long as they were not empty.
"Is Zhou Qingzi so generous?"
Even Gu Liang was a little bit unbelievable when he heard it, but soon his secondary personality told him the answer: "It's not that he is generous, but the cultivation method of this world determines that the skills and elixirs do not occupy a dominant position. They are not as serious about the immortal cultivation secrets as we imagined, otherwise they would definitely not let us enter the second floor of the treasure pavilion. Do you know why the Linshen Sect can become the largest sect in the entire immortal cultivation world?"
I really don't know about this Gu Liangyi.
And he was also very curious about how You knew it.
"Ordinary people may not be able to feel it, but after we entered the territory of the Linshen Sect, I can clearly feel that there is a power hidden under the surface of the ground here." Gu Liangyou didn't know how to describe this feeling to him, "It is a surging vitality. In modern terms, it is like... a dragon vein?"
Gu Liangyi suddenly realized: "This is the territory of Kunlun Mountain. It is normal to have dragon veins. But are dragon veins only found in this world, or do they also exist on Earth?"
Gu Liangyou was not sure about this. After all, he could only sense the fluctuation of power, and he was not from a family of metaphysics. Moreover, he and the main personality had the same memory and knowledge reserves, so he naturally could not understand what Gu Liangyi did not understand.
On the way to the treasure house, Gu Liangyi also told Zong Qinyuan about this matter.
Of course, he did this mainly to pass on the message to the headquarters through the sky screen live broadcast. As soon as he learned the news, the representative of the Bald Eagle Country immediately stared at Lu Lang: "Minister Lu, don't you have many people in China who know magical spells? I remember it was called... Qimen Bagua?"
Lu Lang thought to himself, I used to be in charge of external intelligence work, how could I understand these internal things?
But in the face of questions from representatives of various countries, he remained calm and replied: "In ancient China, there were indeed many people who studied Feng Shui and metaphysics, but these things that have been passed down are generally used by us now as tools for calculating based on people's faces and dates of birth, just like horoscopes, and there is no strict scientific basis for them."
"Really?"
The representative of the Bald Eagle Country showed a skeptical expression.
But no one could come to a conclusion on such an illusory thing, so seeing that Lu Lang insisted that it was just superstition, everyone could only temporarily suppress their doubts and look at Gu Liangyi on the big screen.
At this moment, they had entered the treasure pavilion and were wandering in front of the collection cabinets on the first floor. The air here was filled with a faint scent of ebony, which came from both the cabinets and the incense burners lit in the east, south, west and north corners.
"I can tell you they don't have any fire safety awareness," Jin Xuan said to Gu Liangyi in a low voice, "If we do this, what if the incense burner falls over and causes a fire? The entire treasure house is made of wood, it will burn down in minutes."
Upon hearing this, the disciple who was in charge of leading the way turned around and glared at her in dissatisfaction. Only then did Jin Xuan realize that all the cultivators here had sharp eyes and ears. She could only smile awkwardly and silently take a step back, hiding behind Gu Liangyi.
Gu Liangyi: “…………”
He coughed helplessly, pretending to admire the treasure and helping Jin Xuan cover up. But on the other hand, he could clearly feel that the ruby he had been carrying with him was heating up again, and seemed to be attracted by the upper part - just like a magnet.
But what's on it?
Gu Liang couldn't help but raise his head, but he could only see the staggered ceiling of the first floor of the treasure house.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Zhou Qingzi, who had been staying beside the Sect Master to observe the situation, hurried over. Even though he was a Spiritualization Stage cultivator, he couldn't help but show a trace of fatigue between his brows after staying up all night. But in response to Zong Qinyuan's concerned question, he just smiled and said, "Thanks to you all, the Sect Master's condition has been stabilized. Even he himself said that he was lucky to be able to keep his life."
"That's good."
Zong Qinyuan nodded slightly, but his eyes were still fixed on the milky white spiritual stone in the display cabinet in the corner. It was only the size of a baby's fist, but it was quite eye-catching because it continuously emitted a faint halo in the room.
If this were any other novel about cultivating immortals, the protagonist would buy it immediately, because such a special ore is usually either a rare treasure or some other golden finger.
But in the eyes of a group of science and technology workers, it is no different from a scourge -
A member of the special operations team was quite outspoken and directly asked what Lord Mo was thinking: "Damn, could this thing have radiation?"
Zhou Qingzi was puzzled: "What is radiation? This is just a top-grade spiritual stone in our collection."
"Spirit Stone?" Zhuge Xiao's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, is this what your sect protection formation uses as energy?"
Zhou Qingzi had some difficulty understanding his words, but fortunately he still understood the word "energy": "Yes, it takes at least hundreds of medium-grade spirit stones or ten high-grade spirit stones to activate a sect protection formation. Different grades of spirit stones are divided according to their purity, and this spirit stone is extremely rare even among high-grade spirit stones."
Zong Qinyuan was immediately excited: "Then... can we take a small sample for research?"
"It's okay, you can take them all." Zhou Qingzi was not stingy with this. "The thing that Linshen Sect lacks the most is spiritual stones. There are three spiritual veins under our sect, and each one is of top quality. Although this high-quality spiritual stone is rare, one can still be produced every few decades, so we usually give it to our distinguished guests."
Zong Qinyuan, who was praised for this opportunity, smiled but said nothing.
He was most familiar with this kind of mutual praise in business, and he was also well aware that Zhou Qingzi's desire for them was not without cost.
This is also thanks to the analysis and research on the parasites in Zhou Ming's body conducted by the command center and the Desert University Research Institute. In the shortest time possible, they developed an anthelmintic that can be injected into the human body in the form of a vaccine, thus causing the parasites to die slowly without alarming them.
The physical fitness of cultivators is indeed amazing, but not everyone is like Sect Master Lin who is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, whose entire body was almost blown away and even his spine was broken, but he was able to self-repair and regenerate.
But in comparison, other students in Moda were more shy. Hearing Zhou Qingzi's words, everyone was very happy. Some had already stretched out their hands to take the treasure, but then silently retracted their hands.
How should I put it…
Although they were told to take whatever they wanted, they were here as guests, not to rob. How could they have the nerve to clear out someone's treasure trove?
"In fact, we have prepared some gifts for everyone in the Lin Shen Sect today," Zong Qinyuan said as he went up to the second floor. "If Elder Zhou feels that there is no problem after trying it, you can continue to buy from us. I think the Lin Shen Sect will probably have a hard time in the future, and they should be able to use our products."
Zhou Qingzi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not easy, that's true."
In any case, after knowing the truth and obtaining a solution, they naturally would not allow the monks of the world to continue to be kept in the dark.
Zhou Qingzi could understand that the ancestor had no other options and could only live his life in a daze, closing his ears and shutting his ears. Anyway, until the eve of ascension, the parasites in the body could be suppressed by the Qingxin Pill, which could also help the cultivator repair his body faster. However, only a handful of powerful people could actually reach that stage of ascension.
But now...
He put these thoughts behind him and asked curiously, "What gifts did Principal Zong prepare for us?"
Zong Qinyuan pondered for a moment and said, "How about I let my students demonstrate it to you later. But we may need some disciples in the sect who can fly with swords to cooperate with us, and it would be best if they have a higher level of cultivation, otherwise I am afraid of accidentally hurting them."
Hearing him say this, Zhou Qingzi suddenly became even more curious.
Gu Liangyi was currently flipping through a book of martial arts called "Records of Flying Swords". Although he did not recognize some of the words on the book, judging from the diagrams drawn on the pages, this should be the martial arts that Zhou Qingzi and Yi Yan used when they were chasing each other on the edge of the desert.
"Elder Zhou," he asked, holding up the page of the martial arts book, "how many flying swords can you control at most?"
Zhou Qingzi didn't understand why he asked this question, but his attitude towards Gu Liangyi, who saved his junior brother's life, was better than that towards Zong Qinyuan.
So he answered sincerely, "About one hundred and seventy-four."
"Then how large a range of targets can you attack with these flying swords at once?"
"this……"
Zhou Qingzi frowned and thought for a moment: "I don't think I've tried attacking multiple enemies at once, but if I estimate, it shouldn't be a problem to clear the range of vision."
"What about your disciples? Their level is roughly equivalent to yours?"
Zhou Qingzi could also calculate simple fractions, so he quickly replied, "Strictly speaking, the Foundation Establishment Stage is one-fifth, and the Golden Core Stage is about one-third."
Gu Liang nodded, did some mental calculations, and said to Zong Qinyuan, "Principal Zong, if we are training with three Jindan-stage cultivators, we only need to deploy half of the drones we brought this time."
Zong Qinyuan gave him a thumbs up.
Zhou Qingzi looked at their interaction in confusion: "Well, have you guys made your choice?"
"Almost."
While chatting with Zhou Qingzi, Zong Qinyuan and other students did not forget to do their work.
Gu Liangyi even went up to the third floor. He didn't even look at the other treasures, but went straight to the ruby that was exactly the same as the one in his arms, took it and went downstairs.
Basically, every Mo Lord only took one, because everyone had discussed it before. It was definitely impossible not to take it, but we had to restrain ourselves, after all, being too greedy could easily turn a benefactor into an enemy.
Zhuge Xiao took out a spiritual herb that looked very spiritual. It was said that the fruit it produced when it grew up had the effect of prolonging life and beautifying the skin. It could be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the female elders in the family. Yan Beichen took out a scimitar that looked like bronze. As an engineering man, he was very interested in the metal texture and forging process on it. He even chased after the disciple next to him and asked if a sword spirit would come out if he dripped blood to recognize the master.
What other people took were mostly things related to their interests and majors.
Because the command center did not give them any strict regulations on what to bring, they just said that it would be best if they could bring out two cultivation secrets suitable for ordinary people - regarding this, Zong Qinyuan had already carefully selected a rubbing and put it in his arms.
Before leaving the treasure pavilion, Gu Liangyi took the time to take a look at what Yi Yan was holding, which seemed to be a yellowed rubbing.
He originally thought it was some serious cultivation method, but after seeing the big words on the cover clearly, Gu Liang's cheeks turned red in an instant, and he froze in place for a long time, causing others to look at him in confusion, before he lowered his head and walked out quickly.
Seeing that he was about to spontaneously combust, Yi Yan curled his lips and stuffed the book into his arms again, leaving only the four big words on the cover exposed -
"...Dual Cultivation Secrets"
