Myriad Treasures Pavilion

Xiao Yun checked the Arena Vouchers on him and eagerly entered the solo arena.

The arena's interior was even more spacious than its exterior. At its center stood a circular platform a hundred meters in diameter, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of seats—one could only imagine how lively it had been in its heyday.

[Current Arena Points: 1000 (Initial Value)]

[Current Ranking: Unranked]

[Remaining Arena Vouchers: 10]

He directly placed an Arena Voucher into the Mu Jin slot of the solo arena. Amid a hum, Xiao Yun was teleported to the center of the platform.

[Matching opponent...]

[There are currently no other Lord Challengers. A simulated opponent will be generated.]

[Opponent Level: Level 30 Skeleton General]

The ground split open, and a skeleton clad in heavy armor slowly rose up. It wielded a massive axe, purple soul flames flickering in its eye sockets. Its aura far surpassed that of any skeleton Xiao Yun had encountered before.

Perfect. I can test out my new skill. Instead of being alarmed, Xiao Yun was delighted. With a flicker of his body, he created two clones identical to himself.

Azure Lotus Sword Song: Three Become One!

The three figures drew their swords at the same time, their Sword Qi weaving into a net. Before the Skeleton General could react, it was shredded into fragments.

[Battle Victory]

[Arena Points Obtained: 20]

[Current Winning Streak: 1]

The following battles were without suspense. Whether it was the system-generated Level 40 Skeleton Marshal or the Level 50 Bone Dragon Phantom, neither could last more than three moves against the Level 60 Sword Immortal Template. Xiao Yun even tried fighting with only his clones and still won with ease.

After nine consecutive victories, Xiao Yun's Arena Points reached 1180, and his ranking soared to over 1500th place. In the final match, the system finally generated a worthy opponent—a Level 60 Shadow Swordsman.

Now this is interesting. Chen Ye put away his contempt. The Shadow Swordsman was incredibly fast, and its swordsmanship was tricky and vicious, nearly breaking through his defenses several times. After more than ten fierce exchanges, Xiao Yun finally seized an opening and pierced its throat with a single sword thrust.

[Ten Consecutive Victories Achieved]

[Reward Obtained: Bounty Refresh Order ×5]

[Weekly Challenge Attempts: 10/120]

When he left the arena, Xiao Yun still wanted more. If he had not been nearly out of Gold Coins, he would have loved to grind through all seventy attempts in one go and claim those two Wish Cubes.

Looks like I need to find a way to earn more Gold Coins. Xiao Yun calculated silently. The arena rewards reset every week, so he had to seize this opportunity.

After leaving the Arena Temple, Xiao Yun arrived at another newly unlocked building, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

It was a gilded pavilion hundreds of feet tall. Its Glazed Tiles refracted seven-colored rays beneath the sunlight, while dark bronze Wind Chimes hung from its eaves. When they chimed in the breeze, they somehow played fragments of High Mountains and Flowing Water. The plaque above the main entrance bore the words "Myriad Treasures Pavilion," written in dazzling Star Sand. Every stroke seemed to be surrounded by dancing fireflies, and from afar at night, it looked like a river of stars cascading from the heavens.

Eighteen spirit puppet maidens stood on either side of the white jade stairs before the entrance. Some held scepters, while others carried treasure vases. Upon seeing a guest, they all bent their knees in salute, their crimson lips parting as they spoke: "Welcome, honored guest, to the Heavenly Pavilion."

Upon stepping inside, Xiao Yun found that the floor beneath his feet was made of floating Cloud Bricks. Whenever someone stepped on one, a lotus-shaped halo spread across its surface. They could even move freely through the Myriad Treasures Pavilion according to the wishes of the guest standing upon them.

The Myriad Treasures Mirror hung high from the dome, reflecting the rare treasures of the Vast Wilderness World. It left people unable to distinguish illusion from reality.

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion's internal sections were not fixed. The currently available sections were Daily, Points, Limited Purchase, Sect, Arena, Divine Ability, and Dismissal.

Xiao Yun first entered the Daily section. After entering, he found that it was divided into two areas. The lower-tier area mainly used Gold Coins as currency, while the higher-tier area used Spirit Mu Jins.

Xiao Yun walked up to the lower-tier counter and found all sorts of items displayed neatly within: Normal Summoning Contracts, Advanced Summoning Contracts, Breakthrough Mu Jins, Normal Treasure Hunt Orders, Arena Vouchers... Golden numbers were marked beneath every item.

Xiao Yun picked up a purple card to inspect it.

[Normal Summoning Contract]

[A summoning contract containing ordinary Spiritual Power. It can be used to summon heroes through normal summoning.]

[Price: Gold Coins (10% of original price)]

[Purchase Limit: 1]

Next, he picked up a key with a cross-shaped star at its end and examined it.

[Normal Treasure Hunt Key]

[An ancient key commonly found throughout the Great Wilderness. Place it into the Treasure Hunt Temple to obtain one treasure.]

[Price: Gold Coins (10% of original price)]

[Purchase Limit: 1]

Chen Ye then examined the third type of item. It was a Mu Jin wrapped in purplish-red crystals.

[Dark Epic War Spirit Fragment]

[Collect 30 to randomly summon a Dark-element Epic Hero.]

[Quantity: 10]

[Price: 1.5 million]

The moment he saw the price, Xiao Yun immediately gave up on buying it. It was far too expensive. Gold Coins had many uses now and were nowhere near enough, so buying this would not be worthwhile.

The remaining two items were Spiritual Power Orbs and Arena Vouchers. Both were quite expensive, but he had no use for them for the time being.

He then went to the higher-tier counter, where the items were clearly much better: Advanced Summoning Contracts, Wish Cubes, Advanced Treasure Hunt Keys, Legendary War Spirit Fragments, Divine Ability Essence, and more.

Moreover, everything there was priced in Spirit Mu Jins, and the prices were jaw-dropping. Even the cheapest Advanced Contract still cost twenty-five Spirit Mu Jins after a ninety-percent discount. There were two Wish Cubes, priced at 750 and 1000 Spirit Mu Jins respectively, even after thirty-percent and forty-percent discounts.

Spirit Mu Jins... Xiao Yun recalled the pile of Gold Soul Coins among his spoils and hurriedly took them out to check. Sure enough, several sparkling Diamond Coins were mixed in among them.

He then checked the description of the Breakthrough Mu Jins.

[Breakthrough Mu Jin (1400)]

[Heaven and Earth Origin Power Crystal. A resource required for War Spirits to break through their level limits.]

[Price: 700 Spirit Mu Jins]

[Purchase Limit: 1]

They cost hundreds at a time. With Xiao Yun's current supply of Spirit Mu Jins, he had no purchasing power at all. Just as he looked enviously at the items inside, Youyou suddenly popped up with a prompt.

[Detected external currency: Gold Soul Coin ×1123]

[Can be exchanged for Spirit Mu Jins ×]

[Exchange?]

Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment and did not convert all of his Gold Soul Coins into Spirit Mu Jins. Instead, he took out 100 Gold Soul Coins and exchanged them for Spirit Mu Jins. Amid a crisp jingling sound, Spirit Mu Jins appeared before Xiao Yun, and he immediately stored them away.

I'll buy an Advanced Contract first. Xiao Yun placed twenty-five Diamond Coins into the payment slot of the higher-tier counter. The counter flashed, and a golden Advanced Summoning Contract card slowly floated out.

After placing the Advanced Contract card into his spatial bag, Xiao Yun bought two Wish Cubes as well, spending one-fifth of the 100 Gold Soul Coins he had just exchanged in a single stroke.

Xiao Yun also went to inspect the other sections. He found that the currencies used in those trading areas were all rather unusual. Even now, he had not obtained a single one of them, so he could only sigh in disappointment.

After leaving the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Xiao Yun returned to the Summoning Temple and eagerly used the newly acquired Advanced Summoning Contract.

A blue pillar of light rose from the Altar. Within it appeared a Ghost Messenger wreathed in black mist and clad in simple armor. It was likely the Earth-element Rare War Spirit, the Underworld Yin Soldier—Ghost Messenger.

Xiao Yun directly assigned the Ghost Messenger to Tu Yaoyao, telling her to properly manage these low-level War Spirits.
