255: I got them all with my quick hands

Having an ancient treasure, he deeply understood its power and importance.

When the Five Elements Ring appeared, Mu Feng's excitement soared.

"No rush, no rush, there are still a few jade boxes I haven't looked at yet. I'll check them all before deciding!"

Calming his emotions, Mu Feng continued to examine the remaining jade boxes.

Mu Feng briefly glanced at the remaining items; they were all ordinary.

This made him pick up his pace.

Not long after, he saw the last item.

It was a spiritual flower crackling with lightning.

Just by its appearance, he knew it was quite extraordinary.

This made Mu Feng very much look forward to its performance.

Name: Purple Lightning Treasure Flower

Year: 1000 years

Introduction: A Heaven And Earth Treasure containing a large amount of lightning-attribute energy.

....

"A lightning-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure!"

"This one is also quite good."

After examining the purple spiritual flower in the jade box, Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

No other reason than this item was a Core Formation Body Tempering Medicinal Bath material he had been searching for a long time.

"What should I do? I want them all."

After reviewing the items, there were roughly four valuable ones:

A Nascent Soul Stage Shaman Treasure.

A banyao grass from a transformed Yao Beast.

The ancient treasure, Five Elements Ring.

And finally, this Purple Lightning Treasure Flower.

Of the four items, two could increase his combat power.

With them, his combat power could at least be elevated by another level.

Mu Feng also really wanted the banyao grass and the Purple Lightning Treasure Flower.

Because these two were Materials for his Body Tempering Medicinal Bath.

If he could get his hands on them, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, this Body Tempering Medicinal Bath was something that enhanced his Physical Body strength.

Its importance was no less than the first two items.

"Um, can I watch two minutes of ads and then take all these items?"

Mu Feng scratched his head and suggested to the System.

"..."

"What do you think?!"

"Hehe, it should be possible, right? Watch thirty seconds for one, so two minutes of ads would be just enough to get them all."

To be honest, he was a bit reluctant to give up any of them.

"You have a lot of ideas, but unfortunately, you don't need to watch ads here!"

"Alright then."

Negotiation failed, Mu Feng's gaze returned to the items.

If he had to prioritize the four items, the ancient treasure Five Elements Ring would hold the highest position in his heart. If there was only one choice, he would likely pick this one.

A good ancient treasure could increase his combat power several times over.

The Treasure Dropping Flower Basket was a prime example.

Before acquiring the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket, he was almost helpless against the Soul Beast King in the Dan Formation.

Later, with the ancient treasure Treasure Dropping Flower Basket, Mu Feng was able to remain undefeated against the Ghost King, whose strength was slightly greater than the Soul Beast King, by relying on the ancient treasure in his hand.

It showed how significant and exaggerated the ancient treasure's boost to combat power was.

Next, the banyao grass and the lightning-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure, Purple Lightning Treasure Flower, ranked second.

The power of the Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Art was, of course, self-evident.

It was a Cultivation Technique from a golden seal script.

The Jiao Transformation he just underwent during Foundation Establishment was no weaker than an ordinary Core Formation Yao Beast.

Moreover, he had already gathered all the medicinal bath Materials, only lacking these two.

They were very crucial.

Finally, the Nascent Soul Stage Shaman Treasure was something that offered a short-term boost to combat power.

It was best to have it, but it wouldn't matter much if he didn't.

So, it was ranked last.

"Actually, if you're struggling, you can try reaching for two items at once. Theoretically, if your hand speed is fast enough, you can get them."

Just as Mu Feng was in a dilemma, a red prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Ah?"

"666, is this the legendary 'get them all with fast hands'!"

Seeing the prompt, Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

He was greatly tempted by this suggestion.

These items were all good things.

Getting even one more would be a huge improvement for him.

And even if he failed, it wouldn't have much impact on him.

The more Mu Feng looked, the more feasible this prompt seemed.

His gaze towards the treasures once again became fervent.

"Hmm, if that's the case, the ancient treasure and the banyao grass should be the most valuable."

"But these two jade boxes are placed too far apart."

"Given that I'm definitely taking the ancient treasure, it seems I can only take the Purple Lightning Treasure Flower that's closer."

Mu Feng re-evaluated the distance between the jade boxes.

Then, on the premise of definitely taking the ancient treasure Five Elements Ring, the best remaining choice was the Purple Lightning Treasure Flower.

"OK, that's it..."

Having confirmed his target, Mu Feng was not in a hurry to act.

Instead, he first performed his Jiao Transformation.

He activated his Blood Magic Robe and Cloud Stepping Boots, ensuring his speed could remain at its Peak.

Transforming into a red Jiao Dragon, Mu Feng silently rehearsed the movements in his mind several times.

After ensuring everything was foolproof, his hands swiftly reached out.

His right hand took the ancient treasure, Five Elements Ring, while his left hand took the lightning-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure, Purple Lightning Treasure Flower.

To ensure the ancient treasure was secured, Mu Feng's right hand touched the Five Elements Ring's jade box just a tiny bit earlier than his left hand.

The moment he touched the Five Elements Ring, a powerful repulsive force immediately emerged from the jade box, pushing his left hand away.

It seemed that after the Jiao Transformation, his Physical Body strength was incredibly powerful.

At the instant of the repulsive force, he directly used force to grab the left jade box as well.

Holy cow, it worked!

Looking at the two jade boxes he had obtained, Mu Feng was incredibly excited.

He hadn't expected this method to actually be feasible.

Even though he had held them for a while, he still couldn't contain his inner excitement.

This time, he really got them all with fast hands!

"Hehe, System, I love you to death!"

Mu Feng chuckled.

This last suggestion was truly brilliant.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it Genius.

...

After calming down slightly, Mu Feng opened the items in the jade boxes.

Mu Feng glanced at the Purple Lightning Treasure Flower and found it to be no different from what he had seen earlier.

He then placed it into his Storage Ring.

With this lightning-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure, he only needed to gather the last banyao grass.

Then he could begin preparing the Body Tempering Medicinal Bath he had been longing for.

After putting away the Purple Lightning Treasure Flower, Mu Feng shifted his gaze to the ancient treasure in his right hand, the Five Elements Ring.

The Five Elements Ring's shape somewhat resembled a human body.

It was a combination of a head and four limbs.

"Hmm, this place is very dangerous. I should slightly refine it and familiarize myself with how to use this Five Elements Ring first."

Although ancient treasures didn't require deliberate refining to unleash their full power, if Divine Soul was injected into them, they would be much easier to use.

This was an experience Mu Feng gained from the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket.

After a slight refinement, Mu Feng fully understood the usage incantations and methods of the Five Elements Ring.

Like the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket, the Five Elements Ring had only one function.

It should be said that ancient treasures all had this characteristic of a single function, pushed to the extreme in one direction.

The Treasure Dropping Flower Basket blocked all flying objects.

The Five Elements Ring, however, was for trapping enemies!

It was the ultimate enemy-trapping artifact.

Any enemy trapped by the Five Elements Ring, if their True Qi did not exceed the user's by three times or more, simply could not break free.

This was somewhat similar to the High Grade Magical Artifact, Soul Suppressing Beads, that he had obtained earlier in the Nationwide Great Secret Realm.

However, in terms of both power and hardness, the Soul Suppressing Beads could not even begin to compare.

"Go!"

With a new treasure in hand, Mu Feng was itching to try it out.

He immediately injected True Qi and activated it.

As his thought arose, the Five Elements Ring in his hand immediately vanished.

The next second, his entire body was locked by five bronze rings of different colors.

He stood stiffly like a piece of wood.

The True Qi in his body, the moment it was locked by the Five Elements Ring, immediately became impossible to mobilize.

Fortunately, when he used it on himself, he left some leeway and did not lock his head.

Otherwise, even his Divine Soul would not be able to operate.

If that were the case, he might become the first person to be killed by his own ancient treasure...

"Release!"

The inability of his body's True Qi to flow was too uncomfortable.

After just a brief test, Mu Feng immediately used his Divine Sense to release it.

As the Five Elements Ring disappeared, Mu Feng's body's True Qi returned to its normal flow.

"Amazing, as expected of an ancient treasure!"

"This thing is perfect for ambushing people!"

Moreover, its power was immense.

If one's True Qi couldn't exceed the user's by three times, their Five Elements True Qi would be continuously sealed within their body.

As long as your Cultivation Technique was related to Five Elements True Qi, you wouldn't be able to utilize even a bit of True Qi.

He moved his limbs around until his blood circulation was completely restored.

Only then did Mu Feng reluctantly hang up the Five Elements Ring.

Like the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket, the Five Elements Ring also couldn't be stored in his Dantian or Storage Ring.

Fortunately, they could shrink in size.

Wearing them was like wearing a small bunch of keys.

It wouldn't have any impact on his body.

"Hmm, should I put away some of these Storage Pouches?"

As the number of ancient treasures increased, the Storage Pouches hanging at his waist became a bit cumbersome.

His current Storage Ring was already sufficient.

When he returned, he could put some of the less frequently used Materials into these Storage Pouches and store them in his Immortal Cave.

It would be like a treasure chest for storage.

Otherwise, having too many things would indeed be somewhat inconvenient.

With the rewards collected, Mu Feng's figure disappeared within the treasure pavilion.

When he reappeared, he was already at the fork in the path.

"Welcome to the final stage. Please choose a path to challenge. If you can pass within the allotted time, you will receive the remaining xiānlíng treasure chest rewards!"

"Two choices?"

"This is easy!"

With the System's prompts, nothing else mattered.

It was excellent for making choices, with no need to worry about picking the wrong one.

Thinking this, Mu Feng focused his eyes, beginning to investigate the differences between the two paths.

"The left path is an extremely hot and fiery Dao, where many fire-attribute Yao Beasts, demonic insects, and some natural dangers will appear. Of course, if you are lucky, you might obtain some fire-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure there."

"The right path is an extremely cold and icy Dao, where many ice-attribute Yao Beasts, demonic insects, and some natural dangers will appear. Of course, if you are lucky, it's not impossible to obtain some ice-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure that you desire there."

The information for both paths appeared before Mu Feng as he focused his attention.

"Left or right?"

After reading the information, Mu Feng pondered.

If he wanted an easy passage, the left fiery path would certainly be simpler.

Because his own heat resistance was extremely high.

He should gain quite an advantage there.

If there hadn't been the subsequent supplementary prompt, he might have unhesitatingly chosen the left.

However, the prompt later mentioned that there might be many ice-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure and Yao Beasts on the icy path.

This made Mu Feng's mind become active.

Because his snow soul pill was just missing some mystic ice flower and a seventh-grade ice-attribute Yao Beast Core.

Coupled with the ancient treasure he had just acquired, his confidence greatly increased.

Naturally, he wanted to choose a path with high risk and high reward.

To ask, was to challenge his own weakness.

"Hmm, I'll take the right one."

After a period of contemplation and comparison, Mu Feng stepped into the right icy path.

Anyway, his body had gained considerable cold resistance after tempering in the cold pool, and he had Cold Ice True Energy within him.

He shouldn't be too worried about the cold inside.

....

With a flash of white light, Mu Feng's fork-in-the-road options disappeared.

What greeted his eyes was only a vast expanse of white, severe cold.

The temperature here was very low.

Even with Mu Feng's good cold resistance, he still shivered from the cold.

"Damn, why is it so cold?"

Shaking his body, Mu Feng felt like his limbs were about to be frozen stiff by the severe cold here.

"This place is entirely composed of ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice, so it's naturally incredibly cold."

Detecting Mu Feng's thoughts, the red prompt appeared.

"Ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice, no wonder it's so cold..."

Mu Feng nodded, a bitter smile on his face.

"There are still solutions, and there are two of them."

"Oh, tell me!"

Mu Feng's eyes lit up, urging the red prompt to continue.

"First, you can increase your body's heat. The Three-legged Crow Blood you have is a supreme Yang item. If you drink it, it will guarantee you fear no frost!"

Drink the Three-legged Crow Blood?

That won't do!

This item was for refining his Body Tempering Medicinal Bath.

"Tell me the second method?"

As soon as the first method was mentioned, Mu Feng immediately rejected it.

He asked the System to provide the second method.

"The second is to improve your body's cold resistance. A few kilometers ahead of you, there's a group of Mystic Ice Beasts. If you can absorb the cold pearl within them, it will not only greatly enhance your cold resistance but also strengthen the Cold Ice True Energy in your body."

Mystic Ice Beasts?

Absorbing the ice pearl can not only enhance body cold resistance but also improve my internal Cold Ice True Energy.

This is good!

Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

This method was simply perfect.

Killing two birds with one stone.

No, it should be three birds with one stone, because it also saved the Three-legged Crow Blood in his Storage Ring.

"A few kilometers away, right? I'll take a look!"

Target confirmed, Mu Feng immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate.

His Divine Sense was powerful now.

In a short while, he saw the Mystic Ice Beasts living in the ice cave.

They were all enormous in size.

From the aura they emitted, they were all Core Formation Stage Yao Beasts!

"So many Core Formation Stage Yao Beasts together, this is troublesome."

In his Divine Sense's detection, there were seventy to eighty Mystic Ice Beasts.

So many Core Formation Yao Beasts.

Let alone him, a Core Formation Early Stage Cultivator.

Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would have to avoid them.

After all, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.

So many Yao Beasts could exhaust you to death.
