Sect Treasury
Having obtained the Crimson Sun Weapon-Refining Pool and numerous resources, the Yang Household reaped considerable rewards from the Artifact Hall.
With only two days left until the one-month deadline, today is the day when all the major powers will gather to open the Three Blazing Flame Palace's Sect Treasury.
Yang Tianyou led nine Yang Household Members and flew northwest, encountering fierce battles along the way.
By now, the strange power within the Secret Realm has become quite intense. Even when Yang Dangmo and the others obtained fortuitous opportunities in the Artifact Hall, they had to suppress their turbulent emotions with the Tranquil Heart Formation while focusing all their efforts on refining the Crimson Sun Weapon-Refining Pool, which was a high-grade Third-Tier Upper-Grade.
It took a full twelve days to successfully refine this Law Treasure.
The other two Golden Core Force did the same, using Formations to purify their minds and suppress their frenzied killing intent while refining their Law Treasures.
If even Golden Core Force behave this way, then other small Lineage and Rogue Cultivators are even more likely to behave similarly.
Some Lineage capable of setting up Tranquil Heart Formations can also acquire some resources while ensuring their own normal condition.
Most Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Lineage, however, gradually became immersed in the killing as time went by, losing control of their emotions and becoming unable to extricate themselves.
If we were to count the number of Cultivators still alive in the Secret Realm, it would probably not exceed eight hundred, or even less. The rest are all residing in this Secret Realm, their souls and Blood Qi becoming nourishment for the revival of some behind-the-scenes mastermind.
Ignoring the fighting, the Yang Household Member flew all the way, annihilating any who dared to cause trouble, their methods were extremely ruthless.
It took them nearly half an hour to reach the outside of the Sect Treasury.
At this moment, three or four hundred Cultivators gathered in front of the heavy Formation barrier, almost seven or eight out of ten of them being Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Among them, the forty Foundation Establishment from the Luochuan Sect were completely unharmed, full of energy, and each of them was radiant, with a subtle but well-hidden arrogance.
It seems that this trip to the Secret Realm was just a trip for them!
"Now that the Yang Household has arrived, all that's missing is the Cloudglow Sect Elder Tokens; we'll have all the tokens we need!"
"Let's wait a little longer, the Cloudglow Sect should be on their way here too!"
A quarter of an hour later, the Cloudglow Sect cultivators arrived, albeit belatedly.
Seeing this, Xuan Gu of the Luochuan Sect stepped forward and, without further ado, said, "Everyone, now that we have all the tokens, let's begin our exploration of the Three Blazing Flame Palace Sect Treasury!"
"Good!"
"Agree!"
No one objected. Several Golden Core Force holding Elder Tokens sent representatives forward, each holding a token.
There were a total of nine tokens: one Sect Master Token and eight Elder Tokens. Once they were all gathered, beams of light were projected onto the Formation barrier.
Wow!
Like flowing water, the Formation barrier quickly melted, creating a large opening.
"Those holding tokens of elder level or above may enter!" Xuan Gu shouted, leading his two junior brothers, Song Shaojie and Xiao Ye, into the Formation barrier first.
Without hesitation, Yang Tianyou flicked his robes and calmly stepped inside.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, experts at the False Core level entered the Sect Treasury.
Zhang Daoyuan of the Yin Corpse Sect, Jiang Xiong of the Seven Absolutes Sect, Fairy Yanxiao of the Flamefrost Sect, Shen Luoyu of the Cloudglow Sect, and Wang Qingshan of the Wang Household.
After the nine people entered, the original cave entrance vanished instantly, leaving some cultivators who had been hoping for a lucky break looking helpless.
As light and shadow shifted and Array Mark flashed before his eyes, Yang Tianyou felt a sense of solidity beneath his feet. He looked around and found himself in the center of a grand hall.
This appears to be an Inner Hall plaza, several hundred feet in diameter, with twelve Portal placed in each of the twelve directions, each gate inscribed with bronze numbers.
"It should be a warehouse!" Yang Tianyou guessed to himself, then stepped towards a Portal with the number "ten" written on Portal.
The others quickly guessed the meaning behind these Portal, and each chose a door and pushed it open forcefully.
Creak!
After the Spiritual Power was infused, the door was not difficult to open, and with a rough scraping sound of copper and iron rubbing together, a series of black iron boxes came into view.
Clang!
Upon opening the box, one finds bottles of Pills inside.
Yang Tianyou frowned, took out a bottle, and opened the bottle.
Puff!
A dense, grayish-white aura emanated from it; these were several discarded pills.
"Could they all Pills?" Yang Tianyou muttered to himself.
This time, instead of opening them one by one, he waved his sleeve, and with a surge of Spiritual Power, he completely opened them.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
All the boxes opened with a snap, half of which contained various Pills, and the other half contained a large quantity of spirit medicine.
Some of these spirit medicine have Withered Yellow and turned yellow, rendering them unusable, while others, due to their different varieties, still retain some of their medicinal properties and thus have some value.
There were over a hundred boxes in total, but the total resources obtained were only a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones. More than 90% of the Spirit Items could not withstand the ravages of time.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the warehouse stores Pills, spirit medicines, and other supplies.
If it were mineral resources such as Spirit Gold or Spirit Stones, there wouldn't be such a large loss. Under the protection of the warehouse maintenance Formation, most of their value would still be retained.
With that thought in mind, Yang Tianyou turned around and went straight to a nearby warehouse, Warehouse No. 9.
Coincidentally, Zhang Daoyuan, who was originally in Warehouse No. 8, also had his eye on Warehouse No. 9.
Neither of them spoke; instead, they worked together to open the warehouse door.
Wow!
A gust of wind blew by, and the strands of hair at their temples fluttered slightly.
Yang Tianyou looked up and saw a beautifully crafted glass shelf displaying various Spirit Items.
The most attractive of them all were several translucent, somewhat ethereal crystals.
Void Crystal!
Brush!
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, sweeping up three Void Crystals before a large Black Fog hand could reach them, which were then stored in Storage Ring.
"As expected of the Great White Blade!" Zhang Daoyuan withdrew his right hand, his expression solemn.
That bolt of lightning was incredibly fast, striking first despite being slower, and snatched all the Void Crystals away.
"Zhang Daoyuan's methods are quite good. These Void Crystals are exactly what I urgently need. I won't take the rest of the resources; how about I give them all to Brother Zhang?"
Yang Tianyou said with a smile, "Knowing when to stop."
"Can!"
Zhang Daoyuan nodded; he had no need for the Void Crystal.
Moreover, even if this is a strategic treasure, it has already fallen into Yang Tianyou's hands.
What could he do?
Fight a battle?
Putting aside whether they can win the fight, the time wasted during this period is enough for them to obtain more Spirit Items and make up for their losses!
More importantly, Yang Tianyou has already offered a way out; continuing to pester him would not look good for anyone.
In the Cultivation World, it's not enough to just fight and kill whenever you see a treasure. Often, you need to consider whether the timing is right, and interpersonal relationships are also very important.
After distributing the treasures, Yang Tianyou turned his head and saw that ten of the twelve Portal had already been opened.
The remaining Portal, number one and twelve, are still untouched!
Seeing this, Yang Tianyou stepped toward the twelfth Portal.
