Emptying the Snake-People Tribe's Treasury, an Opportunity for the Small Five Elements Spirit Body
The treasury doors opened once more.
Unlike last time, no guards barred the way, nor did any snake-person soldiers cast wary looks their way.
The queen's guest token still worked.
Yue Mei pushed open the heavy stone doors and stepped aside to let Lu Heng enter first.
Lu Heng strode into the treasury and glanced around.
The last time he had come here, all his attention had been on the main ingredients for refining the Imperial Creation Pill. He had left as soon as he found them, without time to search carefully.
This time was different. He intended to turn the entire treasury upside down.
"Found it."
Lu Heng's voice came from the innermost part of the treasury.
Yue Mei slithered over to look and saw him crouched before a dusty stone box. He lifted its lid, revealing a ganoderma with emerald-green roots and stalks, its leaves emitting a faint glow.
"Millennium Green Ling Ganoderma." Lu Heng picked up the ganoderma, held it to the light, and nodded.
Its medicinal potency was abundant, its age sufficient, and its quality was quite good.
Yue Mei leaned closer for a look. "This thing has been sitting in a corner for who knows how many years. I didn't even know what it was."
"There are plenty of good things in your Snake-People Tribe's treasury. It's just that no one recognizes them."
Yue Mei rolled her eyes.
Of course she knew the Snake-People Tribe was not skilled at alchemy. The natural treasures accumulated over several thousand years had simply been left gathering dust in the storerooms. That was nothing new.
Lu Heng put the Millennium Green Ling Ganoderma into his Storage Ring, rose to his feet, and headed toward the other end of the medicinal herb shelves.
His soul power continued sweeping the area.
