426: Chapter 426 Spiritual Energy Pool

"Xiao Weiqing, why don't you try twisting that?"

Seeing that Xiao Weiqing was about to use brute force, Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu spoke up to advise him.

Xiao Weiqing looked in the direction Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu was pointing.

In the center of the door, a hexagonal crystal dial was embedded.

"Twisting this will work?"

Xiao Weiqing was somewhat skeptical.

"Give it a try; maybe it's the door handle?"

"This could be a door handle?"

Xiao Weiqing didn't quite believe it. He leaped five meters into the air, grabbed the hexagonal crystal with both hands, and twisted hard counter-clockwise. There was no reaction; the door remained motionless.

He then twisted it in the opposite direction.

It was unexpectedly easy.

After half a turn...

*Click~*

The hexagonal crystal sank completely into the door, and then the entire door slowly rose. It had actually opened.

Xiao Weiqing was slightly stunned, suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed.

*Cough, cough!*

"This door really is quite interesting," Xiao Weiqing said casually.

"It is indeed a bit interesting."

Xie Zhiyuan's lips curled up as he nodded slightly.

Beside them, Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu also showed a smile.

"Let's go inside and take a look," Dongfang Baichen said.

The group entered.

It was a very ordinary room, less than three hundred square meters.

On the left were several long tables, each holding anywhere from one to three boxes.

On the right, boxes were neatly stacked in the corner. They were over a meter high and occupied five or six cubic meters each; there were seven such boxes in total.

Xiao Weiqing picked a box at random and pried it open with ten thousand calamities.

"Hm?"

"Could... could these all be...?"

Unable to wait, Xiao Weiqing opened all seven boxes in rapid succession.

"This is too exaggerated."

Xie Zhiyuan said in shock.

Dongfang Baichen's eyes also widened.

The seven large boxes were filled to the brim with Divine Body treasures. Two-thirds were third class, and the rest were all second-class.

This was insane.

A single one of these boxes was enough for a hundred Seventh Realm experts to begin the path of Constructing a Divine Body.

Xiao Weiqing took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He turned his head to look at the other side.

The boxes on the long tables were not large, but they were exceptionally exquisite.

"Could they be First-Grade Divine Body treasures?"

Xiao Weiqing speculated.

The eyes of the other three lit up. Who wouldn't want a First-Grade Divine Body treasure? None of the three possessed a First-Grade Divine Body.

Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu had a second-grade Divine Body, as did Dongfang Baichen, while Xie Zhiyuan only had a third class Divine Body.

Although much better than an ordinary body, the gap between them and a First-Grade Divine Body was massive.

*Click~*

One of the boxes was slowly opened by Xiao Weiqing, and a refreshing fragrance wafted toward them.

Seven slightly reddish fruits lay quietly inside.

"They really are First-Grade Divine Body treasures!"

Xiao Weiqing exclaimed in a low voice.

This feeling couldn't be wrong; the energy was even purer than the mysterious energy from the first-grade nirvana stone he had absorbed.

"Open them all and see," Xiao Weiqing said to the others.

Xie Zhiyuan, Dongfang Baichen, and Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu all nodded and opened the boxes in front of them.

*Click~ Click~~*

"On my side, there are nine stalks of grass."

"I have four pieces of some kind of jade here."

"Mine too..."

There were fourteen boxes in total, containing 106 portions of First-Grade Divine Body treasures.

"We've struck it rich."

Xiao Weiqing muttered.

Based on the contents of this one room alone, Xiao Weiqing felt that the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's death was well-deserved.

He began to look forward to what was in the other rooms.

"Xiao Weiqing..."

At this moment, Dongfang Baichen hesitated to speak.

He wanted a First-Grade Divine Body treasure now, but didn't know how to ask. He wasn't like Xie Zhiyuan, who had shared life-and-death trials with Xiao Weiqing, and Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu seemed to have an unusual relationship with Xiao Weiqing. Only he wasn't particularly close to him.

On this trip to Azure Dragon Island, he and Xie Zhiyuan had played limited roles; only Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu had truly exerted herself to help Xiao Weiqing.

"Senior Dongfang, no need to rush."

Xiao Weiqing naturally knew what Dongfang Baichen was thinking and chuckled.

"There are still several rooms left. I can promise to provide three portions of First-Grade Divine Body treasures; you can exchange second or third class Divine Body treasures with me for them."

Xiao Weiqing undoubtedly respected Dongfang Baichen, or rather, he admired the entire Dongfang Family. Since the time of Dongfang Hao, they had silently guarded Great Xia for so many years without ever having a change of heart.

Providing three portions of First-Grade Divine Body treasures was certainly acceptable.

"Good. Rest assured, I definitely won't let you suffer a loss."

Dongfang Baichen looked delighted and gave his word. He hadn't expected Xiao Weiqing to be so easy to talk to.

One had to realize these were First-Grade Divine Body treasures.

On Blue Star, when Ninth Realm experts do not appear, Eighth Realm Powerhouses with First-grade Divine Bodies are the ceiling of strength.

If it were anyone else who obtained so many First-Grade Divine Body treasures, they likely wouldn't offer them to others.

Asking himself, even if Dongfang Baichen had them, his priority would surely be his own relatives and clansmen.

At most, he would give a few portions to Great Xia.

The rest would be reserved for future generations to ensure the Family's long-term survival.

Unlike Xiao Weiqing, who was willing to give up three portions almost without a second thought.

"Let's go."

"On to the next room."

Xiao Weiqing quickened his pace, feeling somewhat impatient.

The others felt the same, following closely behind him.

Exiting and turning left then right, Xiao Weiqing arrived at another room—one that the Nirvana Warriors had failed to open earlier.

He glanced at the door.

This time, Xiao Weiqing didn't make a fool of himself and opened the door easily.

The group hurried inside.

The room was massive, even larger than the main hall they had first entered.

It was roughly estimated to be twenty thousand square meters.

"Eh..."

"This is?"

"Spiritual Qi!"

Dongfang Baichen cried out in shock.

Inside the giant room were ten square pools resembling bathhouses. The largest was two hundred square meters, while the smallest was over ten square meters.

To their astonishment, a translucent liquid flowed slowly within the pools.

The entire area was shrouded in a thick mist of Spiritual Qi.

Xiao Weiqing was also stunned by the sight. Under natural conditions, the Spiritual Qi had liquefied.

He reached out a finger to touch the pool; without even actively absorbing it, the Spiritual Qi bored directly into his body.

"It really is Spiritual Qi."

Xiao Weiqing withdrew his finger and applied slight pressure, forcing the liquid Spiritual Qi out so it dripped onto the floor.

"How was this achieved?"

Dongfang Baichen said in awe. If Great Xia had such pools, even people with Grade 2 talent could likely break through to the Fourth Realm with ease.

Xie Zhiyuan mused, "Weiqing, don't you think this looks a bit like the Yao Race's Demon Refining Pool?"

Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow. "Old Headmaster, now that you mention it, they really do share some similarities."

"I suggest we give this to Great Xia. Weiqing, what do you think?"

Xiao Weiqing shrugged. "Sure, it's not like I have a use for it anyway."

Xiao Weiqing found no reason to oppose the Old Headmaster's suggestion. Since he didn't need it, there was no harm in doing a favor.

Dongfang Baichen's eyes were full of admiration. "Don't worry, we won't take your things for nothing. When the time comes, you can take your pick of anything from Great Xia's Treasure Pavilion."

With these Spiritual Qi Pools given to Great Xia, the overall strength of the nation would definitely rise to a new level.

In particular, the quantity and quality of those at the lower levels of strength would skyrocket in a short period.

"Let's go, next one, next one."

The group grew more and more expectant about what lay in the remaining rooms.
