Chapter 291 - 266 Massive Resources_1

After a hundred moves, Lu Yan suddenly appeared beside the Immortal Beast, gripping the War Knife around its neck with both hands. He exerted all his strength, pulled out the War Knife, and then used the most powerful killing move of the Jiu Jie knife, ’Destruction’, to strike a blow with all his might.

This strike hit the previous wound on the creature’s neck, and as if it was cutting through rotten wood, it severed the Immortal Beast’s whole head.

After removing the Immortal Beast’s head, its body thrashed a few times before falling to the ground and lay still.

On the other side, Shen Yinuo also successfully resolved her battle. She suppressed the Immortal Beast with the Great Sun Melting Furnace and then pierced the creature’s skull with Asura Hand.

"After all, it’s a dead thing. If it were a living creature of equal strength, it wouldn’t be so easy to deal with."

"Unfortunately, the Dao Book didn’t respond. It seems that the Immortal Bone implanted in the Immortal Beast was completely assimilated and turned into a puppet after death. It has long since lost its rule."

Lu Yan pondered inwardly, then looked at the boxes and storage bags on the shelves, but did not immediately check them for fear of Wish Patterns.

"Don’t worry, these shelves, they have no Wish Patterns. But those boxes should have Wish Patterns, but they only have defensive power and no offensive ability."

Shen Yinuo smiled and said.

Lu Yan nodded, and walked over with Shen Yinuo.

Arriving in front of a shelf, Lu Yan picked up a box to open it, but saw patterns of intertwining Wish Patterns appear on the surface of the box, blocking Lu Yan’s attempts to open it.

"This is the defensive Wish Pattern, which prevents the contents of the box from decaying. For instance, if the box contains Martial Pills, it can greatly extend their shelf life, keeping them fresh for thousands of years with the effects intact."

"To break it, you can only slowly erode it with the Inner Strength."

Shen Yinuo explained.

Lu Yan nodded, activated his Inner Strength, and rushed toward the Wish Patterns on the box.

The Wish Patterns on the box were quite old, coming from the end of the Dagu Dynasty, and have been weakening over more than two thousand years.

Just a few hours later, Lu Yan had erased the Wish Pattern from the box.

Lu Yan opened the box filled with anticipation, only to be met with a displeasure.

Inside the box, there was a whole box full of stones.

More accurately, a box full of metal chunks, as black as iron.

"Don’t underestimate this metal, it’s Black Divine Gold. Even a small piece, combined with other metal materials, can make a high-grade Divine Weapon."

"After reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm, you need to nurture your Life Destiny Spiritual Treasure. Black Divine Gold is entirely up to the task. It’s an important strategic resource."

Shen Yinuo explained.

Lu Yan’s spirits lifted.

Anything stored in the treasury by the Dagu Imperial Family, expecting a revival, could not be simple.

Why go through all this trouble for ordinary metal?

Shen Yinuo also opened a box to find another precious metal.

Then, they opened several boxes in succession and found different types of metals in each.

They concluded that all the boxes on the shelves should contain various precious metals.

But, as valuable as these metals were, they found no use for them.

They needed Martial Pills. A lot of Martial Pills.

In the end, they could only focus on a few Sumi Mustard Seed Bags.

There were four Sumi Mustard Seed Bags in total.

Lu Yan picked up one and found that there were also Wish Patterns protecting the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag, which were several times stronger than those on the outside boxes.

It took Lu Yan an entire day to erase the Wish Pattern on the outside of a Sumi Mustard Seed Bag.

As his consciousness penetrated the Bag, Lu Yan was suddenly overjoyed.

The space inside this Sumi Mustard Seed Bag was much larger than his.

His Sumi Mustard Seed Bag was three meters in length, width, and height respectively.

However, this Sumi Mustard Seed Bag was nine meters in length, width, and height respectively.

The volume was twenty-seven times bigger than his Bag.

Inside the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag, numerous weapons were neatly arranged.

Lu Yan took out one to examine it and found that it was a high-grade Divine Weapon.

He picked out another, and it was still a high-grade Divine Weapon.

Lu Yan inspected over a dozen weapons, all of which were high-grade Divine Weapons.

Looking around, there were hundreds of them.

Knives, spears, axes, halberds, swords, bows and arrows, and other types of weapons were all present.

Lu Yan picked up a red War Bow and drew it, finding it in no way inferior to his Starfall Bow.

He then picked up a bunch of red arrows, which were made of extremely precious Red Flame Iron, possessing a terrifying penetrating power, much stronger than the arrows Lu Yan currently used.

"Have I achieved the freedom of Divine Weapons?"

Lu Yan grinned.

Then, he turned his attention to the ten or so large boxes in the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag.

These boxes were not protected by Wish Patterns. Lu Yan took out one and opened it to see neatly arranged Martial Pills inside.

All were third-level Martial Pills.

Lu Yan made a rough estimate; there were as many as three thousand pills in this box.

Lu Yan was excited, and opened the second box. It still contained third-level Martial Pills.

Lu Yan examined ten boxes in succession, all of which contained third-level Martial Pills.

The eleventh box, which was slightly smaller, also contained Martial Pills, but they were a good size smaller than the third-level Martial Pills.

After careful examination, Lu Yan confirmed that these were fourth-level Martial Pills.

This box contained as many as two thousand fourth-level Martial Pills.

And there were five such boxes containing fourth-level Martial Pills.

Apart from these fifteen boxes containing Martial Pills, there were also two smaller, exquisite boxes which had Wish Patterns on them.

Lu Yan tried one and found that the Wish Patterns on these two small boxes were incredibly strong, more than ten times stronger than on the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag. If he was to erase them, it would take at least half a month.

Lu Yan thought for a moment and decided to let it be.

There would be plenty of time after they were out of danger.

Lu Yan glanced in Yinuo’s direction.

Shen Yinuo was also checking the loot from a Sumi Mustard Seed Bag.

"Ten boxes of third-level Martial Pills, five boxes of fourth-level Martial Pills, several hundred high-grade Divine Weapons, and small boxes with strong Wish Patterns that can’t be opened in a short time."

Shen Yinuo spoke.

"Similar to my Sumi Mustard Seed Bag."

Lu Yan said.

Inside, however, he was overjoyed.

This is a jackpot!

Not to mention anything else, just the value of a Sumi Mustard Seed Bag alone is extremely astonishing.

It is known that in the Mansion of King Ming, a Sumi Mustard Seed Bag of three meters in length, width and height is worth ten thousand Meritorious Points, which is equivalent to ten thousand Martial Coupons.

How much would this nine-meter Sumi Mustard Seed Bag be worth?

At least several dozen times as much.

Next, the two of them each picked up the remaining two Sumi Mustard Seed Bags to inspect.

The one Lu Yan picked was considerably smaller than the previous one.

Its dimensions were only around five meters.

It also held fewer items, only a dozen Divine Weapons, but upon inspecting them, Lu Yan found that their quality was exceptionally high, far superior to ordinary high-end Divine Weapons.

If he had to give them a name, they could be considered prime Divine Weapons.

Furthermore, there were six boxes.

Two of them bore strong Wish Patterns and were temporarily set aside.

The other four boxes, which had no Wish Patterns, were examined one by one by Lu Yan.

Inside one of them, laid a bunch of bones as white as jade.

The Dao Book immediately began to tremble, expressing a strong desire.

Immortal Bones!

Lu Yan was overjoyed.

In the box, there were more than a dozen Immortal Bones. Each one contained extremely rich energy, surpassing fifty Meritorious Points.

Closing the lid, he opened the second box to find a bunch of pitch-black bones.

Lu Yan recognized at a glance that these were Demon Bones.

Demon Bones were of no use to him, so he ignored them and closed the box.

The third box made Lu Yan’s eyes light up again.

Inside were secret manuals of Martial Arts and Divine Intent Diagrams.

There were four in total, all of them belonging to Top Martial Arts.

Among them, there was one Swordsmanship, one Knife Technique, one Body Refining Martial Arts, and one Archery.

"With these Immortal Bones and Top Martial Arts ready, it’s as if they were tailor-made for me."

Lu Yan grinned widely.

Next, he opened the fourth box.

Inside it were two Jade Vials.

The tops of the vials were sealed, and they were covered in strong Wish Patterns, making them temporarily inoperable.

Lu Yan then asked Shen Yinuo about her Sumi Mustard Seed Bag. It was similar to his, approximately five meters in dimension, containing similar items, but no Martial Pills, just Immortal Bones, Demon Bones, and Top Martial Arts.

The only difference was the absence of the Jade Vials.

Instead, there was an extra small box densely covered in Wish Patterns. The box’s Wish Patterns were not very strong and could be opened in a short time.

Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo worked together, spending half a day eradicating the Wish Patterns on the box.

Upon opening it, they saw that the inside of the box was divided into small compartments, each holding a delicate Martial Pill.

The pill was vividly red as blood.

These were Solidifying Reality Pills.

These Martial Pills could increase the success rate of breaking through to the True Body Realm.

Lu Yan had previously obtained one, each of which was valued at a thousand Martial Coupons.

Here, remarkably, there were thirty-six of them.

The strategic resources that the Dagu Dynasty had stored here were indeed vital strategic resources.

"With these resources, we have enough to advance to the True Body Realm. Once we break through the True Body Realm, then we’ll break out."

Shen Yinuo clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"I hope they don’t bring in anyone from the Primordial Spirit Realm."

Said Lu Yan.

If the enemy brought in someone from the Primordial Spirit Realm, their breakthrough to the True Body Realm would be useless.

The two of them looked around again.

Apart from these items, there was nothing else in the cave.

However, this cave was clearly not the end, as there was a passage at the back of the cave leading to a deeper part.

"The treasure store of the Dagu Dynasty wouldn’t just have this many resources. There must be more resources further in. However, there might be stronger Immortal Beast puppets guarding them."

"Are you interested in going to have a look?"

Said Shen Yinuo.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yan shook his head.

The Immortal Beast in this cave was already difficult for them to deal with. In the deeper parts of the cave, if there were Immortal Beast Puppets, they would undoubtedly be stronger and more likely unmanageable.

"We should first increase our strength, then consider other things."

Said Lu Yan.

"Then let’s get started."

Shen Yinuo nodded.

They each took out a box filled with third-tier Martial Pills and placed them to their side.

Then they disrobed and placed their palms together.

For the second time, Shen Yinuo seemed somewhat accustomed to it and was not as shy as before.

However, Lu Yan was still highly wrought and it took him quite a while to calm down.

The Great Sun Melting Furnace appeared and devoured one hundred Martial Pills.

Four days later, after refining six thousand Martial Pills, Shen Yinuo’s Cultivation Level finally reached the peak of the Sixth-level Master.

"My Cultivation Level has reached its peak. I can’t continue refining; it would do more harm than good. After I break through to the True Body Realm, I’ll refine Martial Pills with you then."

Said Shen Yinuo.

"Alright, you just focus on your breakthrough."

Lu Yan nodded.

Shen Yinuo went to a corner, polished her Inner Strength, adjusted her condition in preparation for her breakthrough to the True Body Realm.

Meanwhile, Lu Yan took out a Top Martial Arts manual to study.
