Chapter 99

Everyone was somewhat surprised by these words.

Lin Zhaoqin and Zhong Kun, in particular, were well aware of the treasures within the Treasure Pavilion. Zhong Kun gasped and asked, "Is it the same old rule?"

Song Menjiao said, "Yes, as long as you can sense the presence of the treasure, you can take it. Of course, you can only take one item."

The Treasure Pavilion serves as the treasury of the Huaxia Main City.

It contains a vast amount of rare and precious materials, as well as various Star Weapon, Star Artifact, and even secret treasures.

Regular Star Wielders can also spend merit points to enter the Treasure Pavilion to "explore treasures".

There are also those, like those in the Nature Department, who gain entry through meritorious service.

During their journey to the Divine Miracle, even though Li Yang and his companions fought against the Divine Miracle Core Divine Miracle order to leave, they still saved many Star Wielders and made great contributions.

And this time, successfully defending the East District from the beast tide is undoubtedly another meritorious achievement.

Therefore, they had the opportunity to go to the second floor.

Zhong Kun called out to Li Yang in his Spirit Sea, Li Yang activated the Spirit Connection, pulling everyone in.

Ying Qi, who had just woken up and was unaware of what was going on, asked, "What?"

Zhong Kun was already shouting in his Spirit Sea: "Senior sister, senior sister, you can find a suitable Star Weapon now!"

Lin Zhaoqin rolled his eyes. "Senior Sister will be going to the Sword Tomb soon, who cares about the Star Weapon on the second floor of the treasure chest? Senior Sister wants Growth-Type Divine Weapon!"

Wang Ruika was also upstairs, exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, "What? We can go up to the second floor now!"

"Yes!" Zhong Kun exclaimed excitedly even in his Spirit Sea, "Come down quickly! Marquis of Wind Pavilion has sent a student to lead us to the Treasure Pavilion!"

As they were talking, everyone upstairs came down.

Despite sleeping on the ground all night, everyone looked energetic and radiant, not at all like they had just fought a fierce battle against the beast tide.

Song Menjiao had obviously noticed it too, and he couldn't help but sigh—

The nourishment that the Nature Pavilion provides to the Star Wielders is no less than that of the Star Nexus Pavilion.

And this was indeed an existence that was once on par with the Star Nexus Pavilion.

It's a pity that they've fallen so low.

Song Menjiao: "I will take everyone to the Treasure Pavilion, and along the way I will explain the rules to be followed once Treasure Pavilion."

Zhong Kun and other scions of prominent families already knew about it.

They had spoken to Li Yang about it, but Li Yang wanted to hear Song Menjiao explain it in more detail.

Zhong Kun and his team summarized their experiences based on those of their predecessors who had entered the Treasure Pavilion.

Although they are largely the same, sometimes details matter, so it's still important to get firsthand information as much as possible.

Everyone left the Nature Pavilion and followed Song Menjiao to the Treasure Pavilion.

Song Menjiao said, "Once inside the Treasure Pavilion, remember not to make noise or discuss anything, and remember there's no turning back."

Zhong Kun already knew all this, and impatiently picked at his ear. "Anything else? Are there any new rules?"

Despite Zhong Kun's irritability, Song Menjiao remained good-natured, his droopy dog-like eyes looking utterly innocent.

He continued, "Everyone can only move forward, and once you've taken a treasure, you can't back out even if you encounter a more desirable one later; similarly, if you don't take any treasures, and there are no treasures you can sense later, you'll have to leave empty-handed."

Zhong Kun already knew all this, and then asked, "Anything else?"

Song Menjiao looked at Li Yang, his gaze falling on her shoulder.

There sat an exquisitely crafted little doll.

Layers of clothing draped over Li Yang's shoulders, like blooming lotus flowers.

The "little doll" has fair and delicate skin, just like a living person.

Li Yang tensed up and instantly became alert.

Song Menjiao: "Star Master, this one..."

To everyone's surprise, Li Yang immediately said, "He is also a member of the Nature Department."

"But he..."

"Without him, I couldn't have broken the Laws of Heaven and Earth." Li Yang looked at Song Menjiao, but it was as if she were speaking to the Marquis of Wind Pavilion, "Since it's a reward, it should be applied equally to everyone."

[Lifespan +100 years.]

[Lifespan +100 years.]

Lianxin remained motionless, but one could imagine that he was already moved to tears.

Li Yang was not surprised that Marquis of Wind Pavilion knew about Lianxin's existence.

After all, the teacher secluded himself in the Agronomy Department for twenty-eight years, detached from worldly affairs, just to prepare for the advancement to the Ninth Grade after accommodating Lianxin.

However, if the teacher gives up the promotion and returns to the Astral Realm, he will definitely have to report to the Star Nexus Pavilion.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion naturally knew that the Ninth-Grade Lianxin was now with Li Yang.

Song Menjiao smile, "Star Master, if this man enters the Treasure Pavilion, no treasure will escape his detection."

Li Yang: "..." Lianxin has this ability? How come she didn't know?

No wonder Marquis of Wind Pavilion didn't want Lianxin to enter the Treasure Pavilion.

The rule of the Treasure Pavilion is that you must sense it upon entering.

For example, there may be thousands of rare and precious materials on the first floor, but you might only be able to sense two or three after entering.

But Lianxin was different; he could actually see all of these thousands clearly.

Li Yang said, "So what? He'll only take one."

Originally, Li Yang hadn't intended to secure an opportunity for Lian Xin to retrieve treasures from the Treasure Pavilion in order to avoid exposing Lianxin intentions.

Now that Marquis of Wind Pavilion has brought it up himself, she... has no choice but to comply.

Song Menjiao: "..."

He was ordered to convey the message that Lianxin was not allowed into the Treasure Pavilion, so how did it become that Lianxin was also qualified to take a treasure?

Li Yang walked up the slope, earnestly assuring him, "He doesn't care about the things on the first or second floor; he'll just take a token item at most. Marquis of Wind Pavilion needn't worry."

Chapter 99

Li Yang even sent a message to the Marquis of Wind Pavilion from afar.

What could Song Menjiao say?

He honestly consulted Marquis of Wind Pavilion in his Spirit Sea, and Marquis of Wind Pavilion, still smiling, said, "I'll talk to her."

The light and shadow before Li Yang's eyes changed in the next instant.

She had originally been standing outside the Nature Pavilion, but now she found herself inside a pavilion surrounded by light blue gauze.

The pavilion is made of white jade, and the jade roof is so thin that it is translucent.

Li Yang was sitting in the pavilion, opposite a kind-looking middle-aged woman.

She didn't deliberately age herself like Niu Qianqian and Li Yaowan, nor did she maintain a youthful appearance like Si Kui and Shen Binghua, who were always in their twenties or thirties.

She kept her appearance unchanged until she was in her forties or fifties, as warm and kind as a mother in people's minds.

It makes people want to get close to it.

Li Yang remained vigilant and respectfully said, "This junior greets Marquis of Wind Pavilion."

Marquis of Wind Pavilion slightly raised his hand, revealing the exquisite string of bells on his wrist.

The bell made no sound, yet it inexplicably made people feel that the entire space was filled with gentle and soothing sound waves.

Li Yang's heart skipped a beat.

This was the third time she had this feeling.

The first time was when I first saw the Lianxin, and the second time was when I saw the flower of Flower of Evil... This string of bells must be of a very high status!

The bell, like Lianxin seed, remained motionless on the Marquis of Wind Pavilion's wrist, as if it were an inanimate object.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion introduced her, "Her name is Lingling, and she's from the Bellflower Clan."

Li Yang said earnestly, "Hello, Senior Ling."

[Lifespan +10 years.]

Li Yang: "!"

This increased lifespan does not come from the Lianxin!

Nowadays, Lianxin usually grants her a lifespan of 50 or 100 years, and rarely 10 or 20 years.

Since Marquis of Wind Pavilion certainly wouldn't extend her lifespan, that leaves only the Wind Chime Flower.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion also looked surprised. She glanced at the bell on her wrist and said, "Lingling likes you very much."

Li Yang became increasingly certain.

That ten-year lifespan truly came from that bellflower.

It seems that Lingling is indeed at least Ninth Grade official, just like Lianxin.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion was Ninth-Grade Supreme being, so the item she wore on her wrist was naturally no ordinary item.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion smiled again and looked at Li Yang, saying, "You're one of the few people who would greet Lingling."

Li Yang said, "I respect Lianxin, so I will also respect those who are similar to him."

[Lifespan +100 years.]

These 100 years originated from the Lianxin.

[Lifespan +10 years.]

And this most likely comes from bellflowers.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion looked at Li Yang's shoulder, where she was staring at the motionless "little doll".

"Li Yang, it's not that I'm stingy, it's just that Lianxin and Lingling are both invaluable treasures to the Treasure Pavilion... I'm afraid that if he goes in, it will attract the attention of the Treasure Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Li Yang's expression hardened, and he asked, "Will the Treasure Pavilion harm Lianxin?"

[Lifespan +100 years.]

Marquis of Wind Pavilion said, "No, there are few beings in this world capable of harming him."

Li Yang visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Will the Lianxin damage the Treasure Pavilion?"

She wouldn't have asked that before.

Now, Li Yang understands Nature Pavilion better and better, and knows that the buildings here are not just buildings, but have a spirit.

While they may not be said to possess intelligence, they certainly seem to be alive, protecting Huaxia.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion sighed softly, "Yes, the Treasure Pavilion will lose at least two treasures."

Li Yang: "..." You call this "damage"?!

After saying this, Marquis of Wind Pavilion found it amusing, but still said, "Isn't that right? Lianxin will definitely pick out the best for you, and that's what hurts the Treasure Pavilion!"

"..."

That makes so much sense, I can't even be bothered to argue with it!

Li Yang has a rather good impression of the Marquis of Wind Pavilion.

This marquis from the neutral faction was surprisingly approachable.

Moreover, Li Yang could sense that Marquis of Wind Pavilion was showing her goodwill.

Li Yang also showed his goodwill. "Then how about this, Lianxin won't go to the Treasure Pavilion, you can just reward him with 20,000 merit points."

Marquis of Wind Pavilion: "..."

Li Yang declared confidently, "Without the Lianxin, the Divine Miracle would trap everyone."
