174: The temple's treasure vault? I'll have a taste!
Yun Xuan felt like he was going crazy.
"Treasury?"
Su Jue rubbed his chin.
That sounded a bit more high-end than a bank vault.
His experience robbing... no, "civilly making money" in Star River City had given him a slight interest in places that hid lots of shiny things.
"Are there... many good things inside?" he asked.
"Many! Of course, many!" Feng Qingyang promised, patting his chest as if the treasury were his own home.
"I can't speak for everything, but there are Saint Realm artifacts, thousand-year-old Saint Medicines, and even a few Divine Items containing fragments of Law Source!"
"While they certainly won't catch Your Excellency's eye, perhaps... they can serve as a little diversion?"
He spoke cautiously, deathly afraid that Su Jue would look down on them.
"Oh, that's fine then."
Su Jue nodded, giving his consent.
"Lead the way."
"Yes! Yes! Your Excellency, this way please!"
Feng Qingyang was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way in front.
His body was trembling slightly with excitement.
He had bet correctly!
This Little Ancestor was interested in the treasury!
As long as he was willing to go, things would be easy to handle!
Yun Xuan watched the backs of the two as they departed, kneeling alone in the ruins filled with crystal shards, wanting to cry but having no tears.
So... what exactly is the situation now?
After breaking a Temple sacred object, not only did he not have to pay, but he also got a "One-Day Temple Treasury Tour, Pick Anything Experience Card"?
The world was becoming harder and harder to understand... Under Feng Qingyang's lead, Su Jue soon arrived before a massive bronze door suspended deep within the core of the Seventh Reception Star.
The bronze door was a thousand meters high, carved with countless ancient reliefs of roaring gods and demons and falling stars.
A heavy, vast, and immortal aura permeated from behind the door.
The surroundings of the door were covered in dense formation runes, each containing terrifying power sufficient to easily obliterate a Saint Realm Expert.
"Your Excellency, this is the entrance to the treasury."
Feng Qingyang introduced respectfully.
"This [Immortal Gate] was personally refined by a Deputy Hall Master of the Temple Headquarters. It is connected to the ley lines of the entire Seventh Reception Star; even a Saint King Realm expert cannot forcibly break it open."
Su Jue sized it up.
He could feel that this door was indeed much sturdier than the vault door of the Star River City First Bank.
"Open the door."
Su Jue didn't care to look further and spoke directly.
"Yes."
Feng Qingyang responded and walked to the door.
His hands formed an incredibly complex seal, and he chanted under his breath, forcing out a drop of golden Source Saint Blood and letting it fall onto the center of the bronze door.
Buzz—
Countless runes on the bronze door were instantly lit up.
A heavy rumbling sounded as the massive bronze door slowly opened inward, revealing a gap.
In an instant!
A brilliant, dazzling treasure light gushed out from the gap!
Within that light was spiritual energy so thick it wouldn't disperse, medicinal fragrance, and Dao rhythms interwoven with various Laws!
Just this leak of aura made Feng Qingyang, standing outside the door, feel his bottleneck loosen slightly!
A flash of greed and heartache crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
One must be willing to part with the bait to catch the big fish!
Today, even if this treasury is emptied, I must satisfy this Little Ancestor!
"Your Excellency, please!"
He stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
Holding Cappy, Su Jue strode in with his short legs, being the first to enter.
The moment he stepped into the treasury.
The system notification tones in his mind began to ring frantically, like they were going mad!
[Ding! High-concentration energy environment detected!]
[Ding! Ninth-grade pill 'Nine-Turn Golden Pill' detected!]
[Ding! Tenth-rank artifact 'Heaven-Rending Battle-Axe' detected!]
[Ding! 'Void Divine Stone' containing 'Space Law' detected!]
[Ding! Detected...]
Su Jue's eyes lit up instantly.
He looked at the endless... mountain of treasures piled up before him!
Saliva uncontrollably dripped from the corner of his mouth.
This place... is simply heaven!
He felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice vat.
No!
Like a Starry Sky Behemoth that had fallen into a Universe Bank vault!
"Um..."
Su Jue wiped his saliva, turned his head, and looked at Feng Qingyang, who had followed him in, with an expression he thought looked very innocent.
"These things..."
"Can I... have a taste of them all?"
Feng Qingyang: "..."
Looking at Su Jue's clear gaze and the glistening saliva at the corner of his mouth, his heart twitched violently.
Have... have a taste?
He seemed to... understand this Little Ancestor's hobby a bit now.
He swallowed hard, forcing a smile onto his face that looked worse than crying.
"You... you can..."
"Your Excellency... as you please..."
His heart was bleeding.
This wasn't inviting a god!
This was clearly inviting a wolf into the house, inviting a... Taotie!
OJBK!
Having received Feng Qingyang's "permission."
Su Jue could no longer hold back.
He was like a brat who had been starved for three days and nights rushing into a candy house.
"Wow! This looks delicious!"
His first target locked onto the nearest small mountain piled with tens of thousands of "source crystals."
The lowest quality among these source crystals was seventh-grade, and there were even many eighth and ninth-grade ones.
In the Lanxia Universe Federation, any single piece would be enough to trigger a small-scale war.
But right now, in Su Jue's eyes, they were just a pile of... glittering jellybeans.
He pounced directly, opened his small mouth, and took a deep breath toward the source crystal mountain!
[Divine Ability: Devour All Things!]
Whoosh—!!!
A terrifying suction force erupted from his cherry-pink little mouth!
A miniature black hole visible to the naked eye formed at his lips!
The small mountain composed of tens of thousands of high-grade source crystals had no power to resist before this terrifying suction!
Clatter—
Countless source crystals turned into a multicolored torrent and were sucked into Su Jue's stomach in one breath!
[Ding! Absorbed 'Flame Source Crystal' (8th Grade) x123! 'Flame Law' affinity +0.03%!]
[Ding! Absorbed 'Ice Source Crystal' (7th Grade) x578! 'Ice Law' affinity +0.01%!]
[Ding! Absorbed 'space source crystal' (9th Grade) x3! 'Space Law' affinity +0.3%! 'dimensional universe' space stability +11%!]
[Ding! 'Advanced Chaos Dragon Body' EXP +1%!]
[Ding! 'energy points' +1,254,800!]
...A series of system notifications rang in Su Jue's mind.
He let out a satisfied burp.
Burp—
An air current mixed with various elemental energies sprayed from his mouth, leaving a sizzling small pit on the bronze floor.
"The taste is okay."
He smacked his lips and gave a fair evaluation.
"It's just a bit mixed."
