The Treasure Room and the Azure Lotus Seed
Li Yunjing walked slowly out of the medicine room, followed by the respectful Golden Wing King, Azure Scale King, and Hei Feng.
On the stone walls on both sides of the passageway, ancient runes flowed slowly in the dim light, and the air was filled with rich Spiritual Qi and a faint dust of time.
The restrictions left by the True Person Taichu were indeed incredibly profound. Even though the cave abode had been opened, these runes continued to operate silently, distorting space and isolating Divine Sense.
If Li Yunjing's Divine Sense hadn't far surpassed that of others at the same level, he probably would have lost his way in the maze-like passageway just like the others.
"My lord, according to the notes left by the True Person Taichu, the treasure room is not far ahead," Hei Feng said, stepping forward and pointing to a stone door at the end of the passageway.
Its feelings at this moment were incredibly complex, a mixture of anticipation for the future and deep admiration for Li Yunjing's strength.
Having reigned supreme in the Eastern Domain for thousands of years, it never imagined that it would so willingly acknowledge a human as its master.
Li Yunjing nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the stone gate in front of him.
Unlike the massive stone gate at the entrance to the cave abode, the stone gate to this treasure chamber was only three zhang high, made entirely of jet-black Xuantie, with no carvings on its surface, only nine grooves arranged in a nine-square grid.
The space around the stone gate was slightly distorted, clearly indicating that an extremely powerful restriction had been placed there.
"This is the Primordial Beginning Nine Palaces Lock, which requires the simultaneous infusion of nine different types of spiritual energy to open." Azure Scale King stepped forward, carefully examining the grooves on the stone door, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Legend has it that the True Person Taichu was proficient in the nine Great Daos of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Wind and Thunder, which is why he set up this restriction. The three of us can only provide spiritual power of three attributes at most, which is simply not enough to open this stone door."
The Golden Wing King frowned as well. "I didn't expect the restrictions on the treasure room to be so powerful. Is this the end of the road?"
At this moment, Li Yunjing smiled faintly and said, "It's alright, this little restriction is no problem for me."
After saying that, he stretched out his right hand with his five fingers spread.
Nine streams of spiritual energy of different colors flowed from his fingertips and were injected into the nine grooves on the stone gate.
The nine streams of spiritual energy perfectly matched the arrangement of the nine-square grid.
This is one of the benefits that Li Yunjing received from cultivating the "Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture".
The Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture is Cultivation Method with chaotic attributes, and is not limited to any one attribute.
One characteristic of chaotic attribute Cultivation Method is that they can simulate attributes.
For example, the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, etc.
Buzz...
The stone gate emitted a deep hum, and all nine grooves lit up simultaneously.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy stone door slowly opened inward, and a Treasure Qi a hundred times more concentrated than that of the alchemy room rushed out, almost causing the Golden Wing King and the Azure Scale King to kneel on the ground.
"Such a rich Treasure Qi!" the Golden Wing King exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Just how many treasures are hidden inside!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.
He had seen many treasure pavilions and many treasures, but this treasure pavilion in front of him was among the top three he had ever seen.
"Let's go in and take a look." Li Yunjing took the lead and stepped into the treasure room.
Golden Wing King, Azure Scale King, and Hei Feng quickly followed, the three of them cautiously trailing behind Li Yunjing, afraid of accidentally triggering some kind of restriction.
The treasure room was a huge circular hall, hundreds of feet high, with a huge luminous pearl embedded in the top, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.
The walls of the hall were carved with rows of niches, each containing a treasure that emitted a different colored light.
In the center of the hall was a display stand made of millennia-old warm jade. The stand was empty, clearly indicating that the most precious treasures had been taken away.
"My God, so many treasures!" Hei Feng's eyes widened, and he almost drooled.
It has lived for tens of thousands of years, and this is the first time it has seen so many treasures.
Even the Azure Scale King was dazzled by the sights, muttering to himself, "That one is Mystic Ice Jade, capable of nourishing the soul, priceless! And that one is Thousand-Year Warm Jade, wearing it will make one immune to all poisons!"
The Golden Wing King's gaze was drawn to a golden longsword in the alcove. "That sword... such strong metal-elemental Dao fluctuations! It's at least a mid-grade Spirit Treasure!"
Li Yunjing looked around and nodded slightly.
The treasure room contained a great many treasures, including more than a dozen Law Artifact of the Dao Union level, as well as various precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures and rare stones.
Although these things were of little use to him, they were a huge fortune for the Luozhen Sect.
"The three of you, each of you choose a few treasures that suit your taste," Li Yunjing said calmly to the three demons.
"Really? Thank you, my lord!"
Golden Wing King, Azure Scale King, and Hei Feng were overjoyed and bowed to Li Yunjing.
They originally thought that Li Yunjing would keep all these treasures for himself, but they didn't expect that Li Yunjing would share them with them.
The three demons quickly ran towards the treasures they had their eyes on.
The Golden Wing King headed straight for the golden longsword, while the Azure Scale King picked up a piece of Mystic Ice Jade that exuded a chilling aura, and Hei Feng set his sights on a huge black warhammer.
After picking up the treasures that satisfied them, the three demons began to choose other treasures.
Li Yunjing did not restrict them to taking only one item.
Li Yunjing didn't mind if they took a few more; there were so many treasures in the treasure room, taking a few wouldn't be a big deal.
Li Yunjing ignored them and slowly walked to the wall to carefully examine the treasures in the niche.
His gaze swept over the various Law Artifact and materials, finally settling on an inconspicuous wooden box.
The wooden box was placed in a niche in the far corner, looking ordinary and radiating no Treasure Qi.
But Li Yunjing could sense that the wooden box contained an extremely pure life force.
He reached out and picked up the wooden box, then gently opened it.
Inside the wooden box, a green lotus seed lay quietly.
The lotus seeds are only the size of a thumb, with fine lines on their surface and a faint fragrance.
Just from taking a sniff, Li Yunjing felt his mind become clear and his spiritual energy became more active.
"What... is this?" A hint of doubt flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.
The lotus seed looked like a very rare treasure, but Li Yunjing couldn't recognize it.
At this moment, the Golden Wing King walked over and saw the lotus seeds in Li Yunjing's hand. He immediately exclaimed, "These are the lotus seeds of the Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus! The True Lord Taichu actually possesses such a treasure!"
No wonder the True Lord Taichu used "Taichu" as his Dharma name; he may have obtained an entire Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus!
Seeing the Golden Wing King so excited, Li Yunjing immediately looked at him and asked, "You recognize this thing?"
The Golden Wing King nodded, and then began to explain.
The Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus was the first Spirit Root born at the beginning of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm, containing the primordial life force of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm.
Legend has it that the Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus withered during a great calamity three million years ago. Unexpectedly, the True Person Taichu actually collected one of its lotus seeds, and he may have even once possessed a complete Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus!
The mere fact that it is the first Spirit Root is enough to demonstrate the preciousness of the Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus!
"If this lotus seed is planted, it might be able to cultivate Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus again," Li Yunjing thought to himself. "The Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus can not only continuously generate pure life force, but also Spirit Transformation and improve the environment. If it is Luozhen Sect, the overall strength of the sect will definitely reach a new level."
