Thirty-Thousand-Year Evil Spirit Orca Whale Rubber?!
"Xue'er..."
Qian Daoliu looked at his granddaughter beside him, thought for a moment, and then gave the instructions:
"You've just gotten back, go and rest first, or go and keep your mother company. Xiao Xia and I have important business to attend to."
Qian Renxue opened her mouth, looking at the unquestionable determination in her grandfather's eyes, and then at the eager flame of exploration burning in her younger brother's eyes. In the end, she swallowed her words of concern and nodded obediently.
"Yes, Grandpa. Little brother... you, be careful."
Qian Renxue couldn't help but whisper a final word of advice.
"Don't worry, sister."
Lin Xia returned a reassuring smile.
Qian Daoliu said no more, and with a wave of his hand, a gentle yet overwhelming golden aura instantly enveloped Lin Xia and Ivysaur.
"Come with me!"
Before the words were even finished, the figure had already disappeared from the Quiet Room.
Light and shadow shifted before my eyes, and space seemed to be folded.
The next moment, Lin Xia found herself in a completely different space.
It is no longer the splendor of the Pope Hall, nor the brilliance of the Light-Gathering Furnace, but a solemnity and profoundness that has been accumulated over countless years and contains immense power!
This is an unimaginably vast underground palace, with a high dome inlaid with strange crystals that emit their own Illuminate, like an inverted galaxy.
Beneath your feet are solid, smooth white jade Plate, engraved with ancient runes, stretching all the way to the horizon.
The air was filled with a dense, almost tangible, primordial energy of heaven and earth, intertwined with the energy fluctuations naturally emanating from countless powerful treasures, forming a heavy, awe-inspiring force field.
The atmosphere here is more ancient and profound than the Pope Treasury, carrying the solemnity of a deity's worship.
Worship Hall Treasury!
The true foundation of the Spirit Hall lies in its core treasure, personally guarded by Grand Pontiff Qian Daoliu!
Lin Xia could even sense that the Ivysaur Rakshasa Divine Mark on the edge of the flower bud on Bulbasaur's back were glowing slightly, as if they were being attracted by some kind of sacred power hidden in the environment.
"Keep up."
Qian Daoliu's voice rang out from ahead as he walked leisurely through the treasure vault.
On both sides are enormous light Barrier that seem to stretch endlessly, separating the different areas.
The light screen swirled with faint golden runes, emanating a powerful sealing aura.
Through the semi-transparent light curtain, Lin Xia could see a hazy scene inside.
The mountains of rare metals shimmered with various colors of light.
Sealed within transparent crystal pillars, the Spirit Bone, each with a unique shape and radiating powerful energy, appear to be at least ten thousand years old.
There are also some ancient and uniquely shaped artifacts and scrolls lying quietly on specially made jade platforms, each seemingly telling a story of a long-forgotten history.
Qian Daoliu did not linger in those areas; he led Lin Xia straight to a relatively secluded corner of the treasure vault.
The temperature here seems lower than outside, and the air is filled with a faint, salty smell from the deep sea and a strange, rich aroma that seems to be concentrated with the essence of life.
What comes into view are dozens of Cold Jade Platform of varying sizes. On each Cold Jade Platform, one or more pieces of gelatinous substance of different shapes are quietly placed!
The colors range from light yellow to deep gold, and then to amber, which is almost dark red.
Sizes range from a fist to a millstone.
The energy fluctuations they emitted varied wildly, some as weak as Hundred-Year Soul Beast, others so strong that they caused the Soul Power within Lin Xia's body to stir restlessly!
Here, in awe, lies the Worship Hall, Last Resort Whale Rubber collected over countless years!
The dates range from thousands of years to... incalculable!
Qian Daoliu's gaze, like the most precise probe, instantly Lock-On onto the only two pieces of colloid on the innermost Cold Jade Platform.
They are no bigger than two fists put together, but they are dark red in color, almost like congealed blood. Their surfaces are as smooth as the finest agate, with deep, dark gold patterns flowing within them.
Even though they were separated by the Cold Jade Platform and several feet away, an indescribable, overwhelming pressure and scorching life force, seemingly emanating from the deepest primordial sea, already rushed towards them!
"Thirty thousand years of Evil Spirit Orca Whale Rubber!"
Qian Daoliu's voice carried a hint of reminiscence, and also a hint of anticipation.
"This item was obtained by hunting a whale on my way to Sea God Island, and it is far superior to the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber you absorbed before."
Qian Daoliu to Lin Xia, his gaze intense.
"Xiao Xia, you have proven that you can transform Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber and gain immense benefits from it. Now, do you dare to try this? Use your Life Poison to challenge this thirty-thousand-year- Evil Spirit Orca Whale Rubber?"
Qian Daoliu's words struck Lin Xia's heart like a heavy hammer.
Lin Xia stared at the two 30,000-year-old Evil Spirit Orca pieces, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
The energy contained within, even just the emanating aura, caused him to feel a slight tingling sensation on his skin, and his Soul Power seemed to be ignited, filled with both Covet and instinctive apprehension.
Lin Xia took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale the immense energy permeating the air into her lungs.
Lin Xia's gaze quickly shifted from initial shock to an almost burning intensity and unwavering determination.
Lin Xia looked up, meeting Qian Daoliu's scrutinizing and expectant gaze. Her voice was resolute, carrying the unique sharpness and fearlessness of a young man.
"Teacher, I am willing to give it a try!"
However, at this very moment--
Qian Daoliu seemed to sense something; a very subtle hint of surprise flashed across his dignified face, followed by a barely perceptible furrowing of his brow.
He did not respond to Lin Xia's words. Instead, his figure became blurry without warning, like a reflection in water ruffled by a breeze, and disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving not even a trace of energy ripples, as if he had never stood there at all.
"Well?"
Lin Xia's confident expression was instantly replaced by confusion. He blinked, looked at the empty space in front of him, and then glanced around at the mountains of rare treasures and the two pieces of dark red Whale Rubber that emitted terrifying energy. He was completely bewildered.
"Teacher, what's going on...?"
This sudden situation left him somewhat bewildered; his burning fighting spirit seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, leaving him only filled with doubt.
Lin Xia subconsciously looked at the Ivysaur at her feet. The Ivysaur also raised its head, its scarlet eyes also filled with confusion, "Darna?"
Time flowed slowly through the silent treasure trove filled with energy fluctuations.
Lin Xia suppressed his confusion and his gaze fell once again on the two dark red pieces of 30,000-year-old Evil Spirit Orca Whale Rubber. The chilling life force emanating from them made him feel both the weight of the challenge and the burning desire for conquest within him.
It was unclear how much time had passed, perhaps only a dozen breaths, but for Lin Xia, who was waiting, it felt exceptionally long.
A soft yet undeniable golden halo once again rippled through the depths of the treasure vault, spreading like a pebble thrown into water.
As the light faded, three figures appeared where Qian Daoliu had originally stood.
Aside from Qian Daoliu, who had returned with a calm yet slightly helpless expression, Pope Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were standing beside him!
The moment Bibi Dong appeared, her deep purple eyes, like the most accurate radar, swept across the entire scene, finally fixing on the two dark red gel-like objects on the Cold Jade Platform that exuded an ominous and powerful aura.
"Thirty thousand years old Evil Spirit Orca Whale Rubber?!"
