177: Chapter 177 Emptying the Treasure Vault! You call this a garbage dump? Then I'll take it all!

Under Wolong Mountain Villa.

Red Rose walked at the very front.

Her steps were heavy.

With every step, she felt her heart bleeding.

This feeling was like personally leading a robber to one's own safe.

Su Yang followed behind.

He was still dragging the pig-headed Qian Wansan in his hand.

Mary, Reba, Maid Lin, and Chu Ling followed closely behind.

Passing through three half-meter-thick steel gates.

And passing through six complex spiritual power verification Formations.

The group finally arrived at the core Forbidden Ground of the Tianbao Pavilion Capital Branch—the underground grand treasury.

The gate opened.

A wave of dense Spiritual Qi, accumulated over decades, rushed out like white mist.

Reba subconsciously squinted her eyes.

Even she, accustomed to grand scenes, couldn't help but gape at the sight before her.

This was a massive underground warehouse covering over ten thousand square meters.

Rows of huge alloy shelves were neatly arranged.

The shelves were filled with all kinds of shimmering treasures.

The area on the far left was piled with mountains of Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

A rough estimate suggested at least tens of millions of pieces, emitting a faint blue light.

The middle area was densely packed with display racks of Magical Artifacts.

Sabers, spears, swords, and halberds—all sorts of weapons glinted with cold light.

On the far right were temperature-controlled jade cabinets storing rare Spiritual Plants and Medicinal Pills.

"Senior, this is all the assets of my branch."

Red Rose stopped.

There was a hint of pleading in her voice.

"Please, Senior, show mercy and only take enough to equal sixty billion in value."

Su Yang casually threw Qian Wansan to the ground.

Qian Wansan fell next to the pile of Spirit Stone like a flour bag, not daring to even groan.

Su Yang looked around and activated the Eye of Investigation.

In his vision, the entire treasury was divided into countless tagged energy clusters.

[Low-Grade Spirit Stone mountain, recovery value: 12000 points.]

[Medium Grade spiritual tool longsword, evaluation: scrap metal.]

[Millennium Lingzhi, evaluation: severe loss of medicinal power.]

Su Yang shook his head.

"This is what you call foundation?"

"Everything I see is garbage."

Red Rose was stunned.

Any one of these items auctioned off would fetch a sky-high price!

In Su Yang's eyes, they were all garbage?

"Mary, Reba, Maid Lin."

Su Yang pointed to the shelves.

"You go over there and pick."

"Take whatever you like. Don't be polite with me."

"Remember, pick the shiny, good-looking ones."

Mary cheered and rushed straight to the counter of jewelry-style Magical Artifacts.

She picked up a necklace embedded with Blood Soul Stones and put it on, then grabbed several storage bags and stuffed them full.

Reba appeared more reserved.

She circled the medicinal herb area and selected a few beauty-enhancing fruits good for the skin.

Maid Lin stood still.

As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, her standards were naturally extremely high.

Although the Magical Artifacts here were good, they couldn't catch her Dharma Eye.

Su Yang ignored them.

With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked to the depths of the treasury.

There was a black stone platform surrounded by heavy Formations.

On the stone platform sat a dusty, ragged wooden box.

It looked completely out of place in the luxurious environment.

When Red Rose saw Su Yang walking toward the wooden box, her heart skipped a beat.

That box had been stored there since the branch was founded.

The contents had never been identified, and even the Pavilion Master thought it was useless waste.

But the rule of Tianbao Pavilion was that anything unidentified must be sealed.

Su Yang stopped in front of the wooden box.

[Ancient divine material fragment detected: Breathing Soil (trace amount).]

[Recovery value: 50000 points!]

[System prompt: This item can be used to stimulate vitality. If combined with the Nirvana seed in the host's possession, it can significantly shorten the growth period.]

Su Yang's eyes lit up slightly.

It took no effort at all to find it.

He was just worrying about where to plant that seed.

Su Yang stretched out his hand, directly ignoring the defensive Formation around the stone platform.

He grabbed with his five fingers.

"Rip!"

The defensive barrier, capable of withstanding a full-strength blow from a Golden Core Peak, was torn open by Su Yang like plastic wrap.

He reached out and grabbed the wooden box.

He opened it to take a look.

Inside was a lump of dark yellow soil.

The soil had no luster and looked like dirt from a dried-up riverbed.

But as soon as one got close, one could feel the thick, suffocating life energy within.

"This is not bad, I'll take it."

Su Yang casually stored the wooden box into the thunder god storage ring.

Red Rose opened her mouth but didn't dare to speak.

It was just a piece of unwanted mud, so let him take it.

As long as he didn't empty the Spirit Stones.

However.

Su Yang's looting had only just begun.

He walked to the Spirit Stone area on the left.

Looking at the pile of Low-Grade Spirit Stone that looked like a small hill.

"These stones take up too much space."

Su Yang raised his right hand, and the thunder god storage ring flashed.

"Collect!"

Hum!

A huge suction force was generated.

Under Red Rose's terrified gaze.

Tens of millions of Low-Grade Spirit Stones poured into Su Yang's ring like sand in an hourglass.

In less than ten seconds.

The originally blue-glowing Spirit Stone area became cleaner than a plate licked by a dog.

Not even a single shard of Spirit Stone remained.

"Senior... this... this value has already exceeded ten billion!"

Red Rose's voice was trembling.

"What's the rush? Isn't there still fifty billion left?"

Su Yang didn't look back and walked towards the Magical Artifact area.

He waved his hand.

Thousands of Magical Artifacts, along with the shelves, all disappeared.

He continued to the medicinal herb area.

Those precious ten-thousand-year snow lotuses and nine-leaf Spiritual Plants were all swallowed into the storage ring.

Wherever Su Yang passed.

The floor became bare.

The walls became empty.

Red Rose knelt on the ground in despair.

This wasn't zero-dollar shopping.

This was stripping the place bare!

He even pried off the night-luminescent pearls used for lighting!

"Maid Lin."

Su Yang stopped halfway.

He pointed to a huge Pill Furnace in the corner of the treasury.

The furnace was three meters high, entirely crimson, and carved with nine fire Dragons of various shapes.

[top-grade spiritual tool detected: Nine Dragon Fire Furnace.]

[Recovery value: 8000 points.]

"This furnace is not bad, take it back to our funeral home as a crematorium."

Su Yang patted the furnace body.

"In the future, when those rich people want to be cremated, use this divine fire; it's guaranteed to burn cleanly, not even leaving ash."

The corners of Maid Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

Using a top-grade spiritual tool as a crematorium?

This level of wastefulness must be the first in history.

"Master, there seems to be a secret door here."

Chu Ling suddenly spoke, standing in front of the wall at the deepest part of the treasury, tapping her fingers lightly.

It made a hollow echo.

Red Rose's face turned pale as paper upon hearing the sound.

That was the true core secret of Tianbao Pavilion!

A secret room known only to the past Chief Pavilion Masters and Branch Pavilion Masters!

Inside were the top-tier incomplete Cultivation Techniques and top-secret intelligence collected by the branch over the past hundred years!

Su Yang walked to the wall.

He closed his eyes, his Divine Sense like an invisible spear, stabbing fiercely into the wall.

"It really is hidden deep."

Su Yang opened his eyes, a playful smile curling on his lips.

"Not only is there physical isolation, but it also uses an ancient 'Phantom Moon Formation'."

"Unfortunately, in front of my Dharma Eye, this kind of Formation is like a leaking sieve."

Su Yang raised his right hand.

A mass of purple-gold lightning condensed in his palm.

"Break for me!"

Boom!

A loud noise.

The originally impenetrable wall exploded instantly.

A small secret room of only a few dozen square meters, exquisitely decorated, appeared before everyone.

On the jade table in the center of the secret room lay three sealed metal cylinders.

Su Yang walked over and picked up the first one.

He opened it and saw a yellowed animal skin inside.

On it, written in blood-red ink, were a few large characters:

[Summary of clues regarding the "Fox Demon Reincarnation".]

Su Yang's hand holding the animal skin tightened suddenly.

His eyes became extremely sharp.

The System's task for him was to find the traces of his Fox Demon wife.

Unexpectedly, he found clues here!

"Red Rose, where did this come from?"

Su Yang's voice turned cold, the invisible killing intent causing the temperature in the entire basement to plummet.

Red Rose trembled with fear.

"This... this was ordered to be collected by the Chief Pavilion Master himself."

"It is said that there has been a major upheaval in the cultivation world recently, and all signs point to Qingqiu Mountain..."

Just then.

"Beep beep beep—"

The sound transmission jade pendant at Red Rose's waist suddenly vibrated violently.

A majestic and old voice came from it, shaking the entire treasury.

"Qian Wansan, this seat has already arrived above Wolong Mountain Villa!"

"Which reckless junior dares to touch the assets of my Tianbao Pavilion?"

"Get out here immediately and accept your death!"

Hearing this voice.

A look of wild joy erupted in the eyes of Qian Wansan, who was lying on the ground.

"Chief Pavilion Master! It's the Chief Pavilion Master himself!"

"Hahaha! Su Yang! Your end has come!"

"Daring to enter the treasury of Tianbao Pavilion? Today will be your burial ground!"

Su Yang sneered and leisurely stuffed the animal skin into his pocket.

He turned his head and looked above the treasury.

"Just in time."

"I happen to need a guide to go see your headquarters."

Su Yang looked at the women behind him, a wicked smile on his lips.

"Everyone get ready."

"The main act has arrived."

"We need to change to a bigger bag, get ready to collect the debt."
