Choosing Ancient Ores!
With heavy hearts, the group returned to Taichu Mountain. Qi Pojun had an Elder from the Taichu Sacred Land lead Lu Changsheng to the Taichu Sacred Land's treasure vault to select various Remote Antiquity ores produced from the Primordial Ancient Mine.
This was Lu Changsheng's first time entering the treasure vault of the Taichu Sacred Land.
The treasure vault is located inside a cave on Taichu Mountain, and is personally overseen by two Immortality Realm elders.
"Li Gong, Wan Po, this is the new Taihua Sacred Lord. He made a deal with the Third Ancestor instructed me to bring him here to select ancient mines."
The Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land bowed respectfully to the two elders.
The old man, known as Li Gong, raised a white eyebrow and scrutinized Lu Changsheng with his cloudy eyes. "You're the Peerless Genius who defeated Imperial Son Ku?"
The other old man, an old woman, also opened her eyes. "Old man, the Imperial Son possesses the Supreme Emperor Body. If he can defeat the Imperial Son, his future is limitless. Since it's the Third Ancestor's will, then let him in."
Li Gong nodded. "You may go in."
The Elder of the Taichu Sacred Land bowed again. "Thank you Li Gong, Wan Po, Young Friend Lu. Please."
Lu Changsheng also bowed to the two elderly men, saying, "Thank you."
Lu Changsheng could sense the terrifying aura emanating from the two old men.
These two individuals have been guarding the important treasury of the Taichu Sacred Land for many years, which speaks volumes about their status within the Taichu Sacred Land.
Li Gong stretched out his hand and pushed, and the stone door of the Taichu Treasure Vault seemed to be slowly pushed open by an invisible force.
This stone gate was incredibly heavy and protected by Barrier, but in front of the two old men, it was like an ordinary wooden door.
Led by the Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land, Lu Changsheng entered the Taichu Treasure Vault.
The interior of the Taichu Treasure Vault is incredibly vast. The entire mountain has been hollowed out, and each level is filled with various rare ores, each one of which is priceless.
"Dragon Tooth Stone!"
Lu Changsheng was secretly surprised when he saw a fiery red stone shaped like a dragon's tooth.
Dragon Tooth Stone is not the tooth of a giant dragon, but a supreme treasure born at the beginning of Primordial Chaos. It can be used to forge Higher Vehicle Law Treasure and is priceless.
According to ancient records, Great Expert once forged a Yellow-Rank Supreme Treasure from Dragon Tooth Stone, which destroyed 100,000 powerful Demon Realm with a single strike.
The Dragon Tooth Stone in the Taichu Treasure Vault is a full half-zhang tall, enough to forge more than one Law Treasure.
Such precious Dragon Tooth Stones were only displayed on the middle level of the Taichu Treasure Vault.
Elder from the Taichu Sacred Land explained, "The Five Great Innate Sacred Lands jointly manage the primordial Primordial Ancient Mines. The ordinary ores mined by our Taichu Sacred Land are sent to ordinary warehouses. Only ancient ores of Sixteenth Grade or higher are sent here. Our ancestor said that, apart from the ores in the upper layers, you can choose any other ores you like, as long as they don't exceed the value of the treasures you offer."
"Good."
Lu Changsheng has already set his sights on quite a few rare ores.
Lu Changsheng was most interested in the Remote Antiquity minerals in the top few layers.
That was the oldest ore obtained by the Primordial Taichu Sacred Land from the depths of the Primordial Ancient Mine, and its value was beyond description.
At the very least, this level of equipment is used to create Black-Rank Supreme Treasures or Mountain-Guarding Formations.
This is the foundation of the top Five Great Innate Sacred Lands in the Immortal Realm!
It is precisely because these ancient ores are so important that the ores exchanged between the Taichu Sacred Land and Lu Changsheng did not include this most important batch.
At the very top, a colorful stone caught Lu Changsheng's attention.
The Five-Colored Divine Stone emitted Five-Colored Radiance, and its invisible pressure intimidated other ancient mines.
Lu Changsheng glanced at it and it seemed as if he saw the beginning of the world, before heaven and earth were separated, a Primordial Chaos mass.
Pity.
The Taichu Sacred Land would certainly not be willing to exchange such a top-grade treasure.
Lu Changsheng had no choice but to select a batch of ancient mines that the Taichu Sacred Land was willing to exchange.
"A piece of Dragon Tooth Stone."
Lu Changsheng immediately took the Dragon Tooth Stone he had just seen.
Elder from the Taichu Sacred Land exclaimed, "Excellent eye! This is an Artifact Refining material for Yellow-Rank Supreme Treasure; it's incredibly valuable."
"An Azure Sea Condensing Pearl."
Lu Changsheng accepted another jade bead.
This item is a grade Nineteenth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which is of great benefit to Xiuzhenzhe with Water Spirit Roots.
"Three pieces of Wild Flame Stone."
"A piece of Mica Iron."
"Five blocks of Zi Ling Copper Ore."
"Two pieces of Vermilion Bird Emperor Gold."
Nine Crimson Sun Pearls.
"Twenty Red Lotus Corals..."
Lu Changsheng selected several hundred Remote Antiquity ores, all of which were rare items in the outside world, and even if they had a price, there was no market for them.
In other words, a Primordial Holy Land Taichu Sacred Land of this caliber could trade these ores with Lu Changsheng.
The Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land were all sweating bullets.
The mineral deposits in the Taichu Treasure Vault have clearly decreased.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng exchanged a batch of treasures with the Taichu Sacred Land; otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss this time.
Elder from the Taichu Sacred Land asked curiously, "I wonder what use you have for so many ancient ores, Young Friend Lu?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
The Elder of the Taichu Sacred Land gave him an understanding look. "Young Friend Lu must be unable to say."
Lu Changsheng said slowly, "I don't know what use these are."
The Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land were stunned.
You've exchanged a bunch of ancient ores from the Taichu Sacred Land, and you still don't even know what they're for?
What a waste!
Lu Changsheng really didn't know what this batch of ancient Primordial Ancient Mine could be used for.
Lu Changsheng exchanged for treasures he didn't already own.
Lu Changsheng planned to use it to teach apprentices; perhaps the system would return the treasures he needed.
The system will also provide different rewards for bestowing different treasures upon your Disciple.
Therefore, whenever Lu Changsheng encountered a rare treasure, he would try to bestow it upon his Disciple to see what good things the system would give him.
Before leaving the Taichu Treasure Vault, led by the Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land, Lu Changsheng still took one last, wistful look at the topmost batch of ancient mines.
That is the true essence of the Taichu Sacred Land, Remote Antiquity minerals produced from the deepest parts of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
If the opportunity arises, we should try to exchange with the Taichu Sacred Land.
Since the Taichu Sacred Land left these divine stones in its treasury, it means they won't be able to use them for the time being, and they're just sitting idle anyway...
If this Elder of the Taichu Sacred Land knew what Lu Changsheng was thinking at this moment, he would be so surprised that his jaw would drop to the ground.
Any one of these divine stones would be enough to cause a frenzy among Sects and Immortal Dynasties.
Some of the divine stones were so precious that even the Taichu Sacred Land was reluctant to use them.
Creak.
The heavy stone door of the treasure vault slowly closed under the force of Li Gong's True Qi.
The old Wan Po, said, "It seems you've selected quite a few good things. With the Three Realms chaos, these treasures are useless now. I hope they'll find a good use in your hands. You may leave now."
Lu Changsheng and the Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land bowed in unison. "We take our leave."
Having acquired a batch of ancient ore, Lu Changsheng couldn't wait to return and begin teaching apprentices.
If we could get back one or two pieces of ore that were on par with the finest treasures in the Taichu Treasure Vault, that would be a huge win.
