59: Emperor's Dragon Chariot, how can I keep a low profile?

“A purple pillar of light represents purple quality!”

“Could it be equipment?”

“If it’s equipment, then I’m about to get my second orange-grade item!”

Qin Yang’s heart was pounding with excitement as he flew through the air.

He quickly arrived at the location of the pillar of light.

It turned out that the purple pillar of light was shooting out from a lake.

A hidden Treasure Trove was concealed at the bottom of the lake.

“Hidden so deeply, without a specialized Professionals, it would be truly hard to discover. No wonder Rangers become more sought after as time goes on,” Qin Yang murmured to himself, gazing at the lake.

It’s true what they say: team play is stronger than soloing.

Due to being contaminated by Death Qi, the lake surface was enveloped in a thick Death Qi.

If a team didn’t have a Holy Light Priest, Necromancer, or similar Professionals, getting this hidden Treasure Trove would be truly difficult.

This shows that no matter how strong an individual’s ability, there are always things they can’t handle alone.

However, Qin Yang didn’t have this concern.

He wasn’t just strong; his personal ability was Heaven-Defying.

“Lamp-holding Golden Crow.”

Qin Yang once again summoned the Golden Crow chick, ordering it to fly above the lake surface, then poured all his Mental Energy into it.

In an instant, the lake surface turned into a expanse of white light!

The dark grey lake water rapidly heated up, and the Death Qi within it dissipated at a visible speed. Qin Yang even heard the wails of departed souls echoing in his ears.

“Sure enough, there are still monsters beneath this lake water.”

Qin Yang was glad he hadn’t plunged into the water rashly.

Fighting in this lake full of Death Qi...

Even the Imperial Guards would suffer losses.

【You killed a Rank 20 Lake Bottom Specter, Experience +485.】

【You killed a Rank 20 Lake Bottom Specter, Experience +485.】

【You killed a Rank 20 Lake Bottom Specter, Experience +485.】

...White smoke rose in wisps from the lake surface.

The Supreme Yang Divine Light was physically purifying the souls in the lake.

The entire process lasted for 2 minutes, and Qin Yang replenished 2 large potions, finally clearing out the specters in the lake.

At this point, the lake surface was significantly clearer; he could already see the purple-glowing Treasure Trove at the bottom.

Qin Yang flew directly over the lake, condensed the Hand of Imperial Authority, performed a 'moon from the lake' maneuver, and snatched the box into the air.

【You obtained a hidden Treasure Trove!】

【Rarity】: Gold-grade.

“Only Gold-grade?”

Qin Yang pouted.

Treasure Trove rarity is divided into: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Meteorite, and Star Core.

Gold-grade rarity corresponds to blue-quality items or equipment.

While this was a treasure for ordinary people, for Qin Yang, it was somewhat underwhelming.

“But I already saw a purple pillar of light, so the item in this Treasure Trove should be more than blue-quality.”

Qin Yang’s eyes lit up.

He realized something!

Low-Rank Treasure Troves aren’t incapable of yielding good items; it’s just that the probability is extremely low.

Therefore, there’s an entertainment similar to 'stone gambling' in this world: the Treasure Trove gambling event at the auction house!

First, buy the Treasure Trove, then open it.

If you get trash, you lose everything. If you get a top-tier item, you immediately take off!

“Divine Tycoon: I can see the value of Treasure Troves!”

“Good, good, good!”

Qin Yang laughed three times.

With True Dragon Qi Observation, would he still fear an empty treasury?

Short on military funds? Short on food expenses?

Gamble on Treasure Troves at the auction house, and withdraw funds directly!

Qin Yang was in a great mood, but it could get even better!

【Gold hidden Treasure Trove opened! You obtained...】

【Location Skill】: Nightmare Chariot.

【Crystal Coin】: 10 million Crystal Coin.

“Not equipment, but a skill?”

“And a skill that emits purple light?”

Qin Yang was slightly stunned.

Skills in this world don't have ABCD ratings, but they do vary in strength.

The higher the Profession’s strength, the stronger the Profession Skill.

Furthermore...

Profession Skills are often stronger than location skills.

And location skills are often stronger than general skills.

But this isn't absolute.

A location skill that can emit purple light...

Its strength must be above that of an excellent-grade Profession Skill.

Qin Yang's gaze sharpened as he checked the skill description.

【Location Skill】: Nightmare Chariot.

【Profession Requirement】: Knight-class, Warrior-class.

【Description】: Summons a chariot pulled by four Nightmare Horses. The chariot can be used as a mount and can also activate the Omen Charge skill.

【Omen Charge】: Charges towards a target ahead, cannot be controlled. During the charge, it inflicts deterrence, continuously lowering Mental Energy. Upon hitting the target, it deals 2 times Strength damage and 2 times Mental Energy damage.

“It can also be a mount!”

Qin Yang was overjoyed; he really needed a mount!

He didn't have to kill monsters himself.

But Secret Realms are so vast, walking around is exhausting.

Flying consumes Mental Energy, so he couldn't fly constantly either.

At this moment, a mount was truly a timely help!

“Limited to Knights and Warriors, but I have a Skill Awakening Scroll!”

Qin Yang’s eyes gleamed, planning to use his third Awakening Scroll.

If other Professionals knew about this, they would surely curse him for being a spendthrift.

Skill Awakening Scrolls are incredibly precious.

A single Skill Awakening can even change a Professional’s combat mode.

After obtaining a Skill Awakening Scroll, everyone would deliberate repeatedly, choosing the skill that would help them the most to Awaken.

But Qin Yang just used whatever he had, playing through three scrolls at once!

This was truly... using Awakening Scrolls like toilet paper!

In fact, Qin Yang also knew the scrolls were precious.

It’s just that he didn’t need to deliberate.

Which of the Supreme Emperor-grade skills wouldn't be of great help to him?

Why think so much? Just go for it!

【You have selected “Nightmare Chariot.”】

【Beginning Awakening...】

【Awakening successful!】

【You have obtained the Profession Skill, Imperial Dragon Carriage.】

【Profession Skill】: Imperial Dragon Carriage (Lv.1).

【Description】: Summons a flying chariot. When not expanded, it is considered a mount, activating “Imperial Authority.” When expanded, it is considered a traveling palace, activating “Imperial Domain.”

【Imperial Authority】: The dragon carriage is immune to control, its interior cannot be detected, and it continuously applies Mental suppression to surrounding targets.

【Imperial Domain】: Within the traveling palace, no one can cause you harm, and the interior of the traveling palace cannot be detected.

【Note】: The dragon carriage is warm in winter and cool in summer, with an unlimited supply of basic provisions like wine and meat. It can house Imperial Treasure Troves. For each Imperial Treasure Trove housed, Imperial Power accumulation speed +50/hour, up to a maximum of 10 items.

【Imperial Power Consumption】: 500 points per hour.

“It’s also a mobile base?”

Qin Yang laughed in his heart.

The Supreme Emperor truly didn’t disappoint him.

Professionals venturing into Secret Realms are not only dangerous but also arduous.

For high-Rank Secret Realms, fighting for ten days to half a month is quite normal.

Professionals sleeping rough is commonplace.

Qin Yang, on the other hand, directly got himself a traveling palace.

And it’s warm in winter and cool in summer, with an unlimited supply of wine and meat?

This is truly too suitable for me!

The only drawback was the high fuel consumption.

500 points per hour, even with a 40% consumption reduction, would still be 300 points.

However, after placing 10 Imperial Treasure Troves, it would be zero fuel consumption.

“The beauty scroll is also considered an Imperial Treasure Trove; it should be able to be placed inside, right?”

“Let’s summon the dragon carriage and try it first!”

Qin Yang thought to himself, raising his hand to summon.

Space vibrated, and airwaves rippled outwards.

A thick, majestic vermilion palace gate appeared before Qin Yang.

Creak, creak, creak!

A heavy grinding sound echoed.

The vermilion palace gate slowly opened.

From within, a faint sound of a grand bell and boundless golden light emanated.

The bell sound was distant and solemn, as if from the river of time.

When the palace gate was fully open, the so-called Imperial Dragon Carriage appeared within the golden light.

Bathed in the golden light, Qin Yang’s eyes widened even more!

“Are you kidding me?”

“How am I supposed to keep a low profile with this?”
