283: Familiar gray stones, mysterious hall

A moment later, the surface of the originally pitch-black ten thousand year meteoric iron stone seemed to crack open, releasing a dazzling grey spiritual light that illuminated the entire treasury as a profound and ancient aura emanated from it.

"This... this isn't Thousand-Year Refined Iron?"

Chu Ningyue's beautiful eyes widened and her pink lips parted slightly as she spoke in shock.

She had explored this area before, but she hadn't discovered anything special.

Yet Su Yun had found a special Artifact Refining material as soon as he arrived; this was simply too incredible!

Just how did Su Yun find it?

"This is ten thousand year meteoric iron stone."

Su Yun explained.

He could feel the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl inside his body trembling incessantly, seemingly sensing the ten thousand year meteoric iron stone.

It seemed this ten thousand year meteoric iron stone would likely be of great use for the recovery of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl.

"Ten... ten thousand year meteoric iron stone?

This is an extremely precious Artifact Refining material; even the Artifact Refining Materials on the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion's treasury can't compare to ten thousand year meteoric iron stone.

To think such a good thing was hidden among this pile of ordinary Artifact Refining Materials on the first floor!"

Chu Ningyue spoke in shock once again.

Xiao Die and Zhao Zhi, who were standing nearby, were also extremely shocked and remained speechless for a long time.

Chu Ningyue stepped forward directly to carefully observe the ten thousand year meteoric iron stone in Su Yun's hand, then she hugged Su Yun's arm and said coquettishly:

"Su Yun, how did you find the ten thousand year meteoric iron stone here? Is there some secret?"

On the surface, she was asking about the situation regarding the ten thousand year meteoric iron stone, but in reality, she was taking the Opportunity to hug Su Yun's arm.

Soon, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Just luck."

Su Yun looked at Chu Ningyue with some suspicion.

He always felt that Chu Ningyue was finding ways to take advantage of him.

If she were truly curious, she wouldn't need to hug his arm so tightly!

At this moment, he could clearly feel his arm sinking into a deep valley; a soft, boneless sensation welled up in his heart as an elegant fragrance wafted into his nose.

He hadn't realized Chu Ningyue was hiding such hidden depths!

Thinking of this, Su Yun couldn't help but glance at Chu Ningyue before quickly withdrawing his gaze.

Chu Ningyue, who had been watching Su Yun the whole time, also noticed that fleeting glance. She couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

She had recently changed her method of interacting with Su Yun, and it was indeed showing good results.

Su Yun, who previously wasn't interested in her, was now slowly starting to become interested.

As expected, her charm was still quite good.

A short while later, Chu Ningyue released her jade-like hands from Su Yun's arm, acting as if nothing had happened just now.

A powerful Myriad Illusion Power was released from Su Yun's hand, instantly devouring the entire ten thousand year meteoric iron stone.

As the ten thousand year meteoric iron stone was absorbed into the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl, he could clearly sense that the artifact spirit of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl would likely awaken in a few days.

At this moment, his attention was suddenly drawn to a square stone.

"Eh? An unexpected harvest?

To think this would be here too?"

He stepped forward and picked up that grey stone, then took another grey stone out of his Storage Ring.

The other grey stone was something he had obtained from the Wind Wolf Clan's treasury in the Myriad Demon Domain.

At that time, the System had appraised the grey stone as a key fragment for breaking some kind of Seal.

He had thought it would be very difficult to find other fragments, but he didn't expect to find another one so soon.

And it was found within the Treasure Pavilion's treasury in the Central Domain, a whole region away from the Myriad Demon Domain.

At this moment, the two grey stones suddenly underwent a change, directly transforming into two streaks of grey spiritual light and merging together.

After the light dissipated, the two grey stones had become one. Furthermore, the size of the grey stone hadn't changed after the Fusion, but many profound spiritual runes had appeared on it; it seemed to have become more complete because it absorbed the other grey stone.

"They actually merged?"

Su Yun picked up the grey stone floating in the air.

A peculiar image instantly appeared before his eyes.

He saw a Great Hall hundreds of thousands of feet in size floating within a hazy grey space. This Great Hall was wrapped in countless chains, with a large number of Law patterns manifesting on the chains, and an extremely powerful aura was being released from within the hall.

As for other details, they weren't very clear; he didn't know if it was because the key was incomplete.

After a few breaths, the image before Su Yun's eyes shattered.

"Could this grey stone be the key to unlocking this Great Hall?"

"Just what is inside this Great Hall?"

Su Yun suddenly thought with some curiosity.

Moreover, when he held this fused grey stone, a message appeared in his mind.

That message indicated that other key fragments would appear soon, and when they did, he would be able to sense the locations of those other fragments through this grey stone.

When all the key fragments were merged together, he would know the location of that Great Hall, and at that time, he would also know what was inside it.

"Forget it, I'll know once I've gathered all the key fragments."

Su Yun thought to himself.

"Su Yun, what's wrong?"

Chu Ningyue asked with some concern from the side.

After all, Su Yun had suddenly stood motionless for several breaths after picking up that fused grey stone.

"It's nothing, I was just spacing out for a moment."

Su Yun smiled faintly.

"Oh, I thought something had happened to you. What was that grey stone just now?"

Chu Ningyue blinked and asked with some curiosity.

"It's a key to a certain Seal, but it's only one of the fragments."

Su Yun explained casually.

"To think such a thing would be here."

"Could it be that the good things aren't on the top floor of the treasury?

But are all right here?"

Chu Ningyue's beautiful eyes flickered as she moved with light steps toward the pile of shelves, searching up and down.

But after searching all over, she didn't find anything special.

"Ningyue, there's no need to look further; there probably aren't any more."

Su Yun said quickly.

Although many protagonists find their Opportunities among piles of inconspicuous items, there are at most one or two such Opportunities; it's impossible for there to be too many.

Otherwise, wouldn't just anyone be able to get those precious Opportunities?

"Alright then."

Chu Ningyue stopped her search and returned to Su Yun's side.

As expected, only Su Yun could find peculiar things.

"Ningyue, I only need these two items."

Su Yun said again.

He didn't actually lack other resources and such.

It wouldn't be very good to take too many resources from this treasury.

"How can that be?

Su Yun, you don't need to be polite. You are my savior, and also..."

When Chu Ningyue said this, her pretty face turned slightly red and she didn't continue.

She paused and then said:

"Su Yun, I'll help you pick out a few more Heaven And Earth Treasures in a bit.

You can't refuse!"

After Chu Ningyue finished speaking, she once again reached out her jade-like hand to intimately pull Su Yun toward the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion's treasury.
