161: Chapter 160 Treasures of Various Families

Miyamoto Chouzou hailed from the premier prestigious Miyamoto Family in the Sakura Island Company Divine Kingdom, and his ancestor was that famous sword saint.

Although Miyamoto Chouzou himself was only an ace Card Maker, due to the blessing of the sword saint's bloodline, Miyamoto Chouzou's influence in the Sakura Island military was comparable to an ordinary titled individual, and he was even called the "Number One Person Below the Titled" by busybodies.

But the protection of ancestors eventually came to an end; with the birth of a new titled Card Maker named [Ninja Ancestor], Miyamoto Chouzou's influence in the military significantly decreased, and many of the positions in his hands were taken away.

[Remember the domain name of this site to find Taiwan novels for the ultra-complete collection]

The Number One Person Below the Titled was ultimately not a titled individual either; many so-called disciples, old acquaintances, and admirers of the Miyamoto Family had gradually left him over the past few years, turning instead to gather around [Ninja Ancestor], who was newly appointed as a military daimyo.

He needed new trump cards to attract new supporters.

Just as he was troubled, he heard the news about the [tianhe exclusive shadow beef slices]. Among the five major countries of the world, except for the Bald Eagle Federation, the other four countries did not have divine power-related supplies.

Although the [Akuma], advanced from the basic card sequence [Ronin] of the Sakura Island Company Divine Kingdom's army, could not use [Divine Power], after the [Akuma] awakened its true name, it could basically master a few skills related to [Divine Power].

Therefore, divine power-type supplies were not only in tight supply in the Yanhuang Ancient Country, but also had a huge demand in the Sakura Island Company Divine Kingdom.

Moreover, ancient Sakura Island Company Divine Kingdom once had the saying of "Eight Million Gods" and often witnessed the grand spectacle of the "Hundred Ghosts Night Parade". Nowadays, ghost-type monsters and ghost-type cards were flourishing in the Sakura Island Company Divine Kingdom, yet the content of "God"-type cards and materials in the so-called "Eight Million Gods" was extremely low.

The upper echelons of the Sakura Island Company Divine Kingdom had always felt that their country had the potential to produce a rich [deity card] sequence, and people holding this view accounted for the majority in the military. Therefore, the entire military's attention to [deity card] and [Divine Power] aspects had always been extremely heavy, and the value of this [spirit meal] was naturally extremely heavy as well.

Obviously, Miyamoto Chouzou also came for the research value behind this dish, so his move was also a lavish one.

He pulled out an old, yellowed booklet whose paper was coarse and resembled cowhide. Three large characters were written on its surface, but Sun Po did not quite recognize them.

This scroll emitted a faint golden radiance throughout its body, sometimes ethereal like the sky, sometimes scorching like fire, sometimes faintly accompanied by the sound of tidal waves, and sometimes as heavy as a mountain peak, looking extremely divine and miraculous.

Miyamoto Chouzou nodded to Li Tiance and said, "This book material is named [book of five rings], which is an item left behind by my ancestor [Miyamoto Musashi]. It is internally divided into five volumes: Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Void, recording five skills that can cooperate with each other, which are also five combat techniques. The quality of the book material is golden."

His words were concise and comprehensive, but the weight of the thing he took out was not light.

But what he did not say was that this book material often used ancient characters, making it obscure and difficult to understand.

The [book of five rings] could only be understood using the Miyamoto Family's inherited text. With only this book material, one could only understand the combat techniques drawn by the illustrations. If one wanted to understand the skills recorded by the text, they must have the Miyamoto Family's ancestral secret text. Once the seller fancied this golden-quality book material, to learn the full content in the future, they would inevitably have to ask Miyamoto Chouzou for help. By then, he would have the opportunity to establish more connections with the owner of this [spirit meal].

On Earth in Sun Po's past life, there was also "The book of five rings", which was also written by Miyamoto Musashi, but it seemed to be a military book. The [book of five rings] in this world turned out to be book material recording skills and combat techniques, and its quality was as high as golden, which was beyond Sun Po's expectations.

He was not very keen on this gadget, and from the bottom of his heart, he did not want to sell his [spirit meal] to people of this country. Moreover, his attention had been attracted by a fragmented cube from the very beginning.

Just as he intended to directly tell Li Tiance to refuse through his Arrow of Mind, and then have Li Tiance convey it, a familiar voice suddenly came from his heart:

"Master, there is no need to rush to refuse. Delay for a moment, and I will be able to read this book thoroughly."

Sun Po suddenly remembered that as early as the [Changyou] period, when [Wuzhiqi] had just grown six ears, it already had the ability to directly listen to the content without opening the book material, and could even directly hear the past and present life of the book. The divine intent and key points within could all be heard, which was even more effective than opening and reading it.

At that time, Sun Po even thought that heaven was afraid [Changyou] would get tired of reading and opened an audiobook cheat for it, never expecting that this ability could play such a role today.

Sun Po knew [Changyou]'s comprehension and learning speed; back then, it could even finish reading a piece of book material and learn a skill in a single day.

Although this [book of five rings] was a golden book material, [Changyou] had also ascended to divinity and become [Wuzhiqi].

Since [Wuzhiqi] took the initiative to speak, it must have a certain degree of confidence. Then he had to delay as much as possible next.

"Brother Sun? Brother Sun?"

Just as Sun Po was pondering, Li Tiance's voice rang out in Sun Po's heart:

"How is it?"

Sun Po responded in his heart, "I like this book material very much, but I also want to hear the details of the other people's treasures. Can this Mr. Miyamoto Chouzou put this golden material back first? Let me think about it more."

Li Tiance was slightly silent, and replied in Sun Po's heart, "Very well, then we shall follow Brother Sun's meaning."

Thus, Li Tiance smiled and conveyed Sun Po's meaning to Miyamoto Chouzou.

Miyamoto Chouzou was overjoyed in his heart. Money is hard to buy what one loves; perhaps other people's treasures were not worse than his, and might even be a notch better.

But his [book of five rings] happened to be what the seller needed. It seemed this matter could succeed!

His eyes rolled, and he said in stiff and clumsy Yanhuang speech, "I can agree to the seller's request, but this book material of mine is extremely precious, so I can only pay him an extra 100 million."

This old fellow actually relied on the seller's liking to ruthlessly slash the price.

Sun Po naturally didn't care. After all, his liking for this [book of five rings] was just a pretense; the truth was that if he left it for a bit longer, [Wuzhiqi] could directly freeload this golden-quality book material.

At this time, even if Miyamoto Chouzou slashed the price to the bone, he could agree to it; anyway, he wouldn't sell it to him in the end.

Therefore, after Li Tiance received Sun Po's affirmative reply in his heart, he also responded, "Yes."

Seeing this, [Taoman] gritted his teeth, stuffed the golden material in his hand back into his belly, and began rummaging for something else.

And the next one to stand up and introduce was the camel-headed man with a white cloth on his head.

He spoke, "Our Death Desert tribe has nothing else, only things like [Vibranium] are a bit more abundant."

After saying that, a silver-white metal the size of a human head emerged from his palm. This metal looked like a lump of silver-white metal.

However, that silver-white metal lump suddenly turned into a shape like a water droplet, writhing in the air. Next, this silver-white metal lump sometimes turned into a scimitar, sometimes into a staff, and could even turn into a person identical to the camel-headed man.

Li Tiance even spoke, "Such a huge piece of entire [Vibranium], and it turns out not to be ordinary [Vibranium], but one with special characteristics. This is truly a priceless treasure."

No wonder Li Tiance said so; it was truly because this thing was too precious.

[Vibranium] was currently known as the hardest metal, the most stable metal, and the metal with the best power transmission.

To this day, [Vibranium] was still the best material for extraterrestrial powerhouses to forge weapons.

More importantly, [Vibranium] weapons had extremely strong stability when dealing with high-level energies such as time, space, and fate. Its firmness and stability seemed eternal.

But because of the preciousness of [Vibranium], most extraterrestrial powerhouses could only add a tiny bit of [Vibranium] to their weapons. Such weapons were called [Vibranium Weapons].

But even just a little bit of [Vibranium] could make the strength and value of [Vibranium Weapons] far exceed ordinary weapons.

The value of [Vibranium] of the same quality was hundreds of times that of gold, and it was generally calculated by the gram. Such a strange [Vibranium] the size of a human head that could change shapes could simply be called an unprecedented rare treasure.

After Li Tiance explained it in Sun Po's heart, Sun Po also understood the value of this thing.

I have to say, purely in terms of value, the previous [book of five rings] wasn't even fit to carry shoes for this [Vibranium] with special characteristics.

Moreover, Sun Po fancied this item, and could even be said to want it very much.

After all, [Wuzhiqi] had always lacked a suitable weapon. Free-changing shape, the known hardest, most stable metal with the best power conductivity—wasn't this [Wuzhiqi]'s chosen iron rod?

Thus, [Wuzhiqi] wouldn't need to condense water into a rod every time, and its strength would definitely have a huge improvement.

If it weren't for the fragmented metal cube over there, Sun Po would almost have chosen it.

At this time, [Wuzhiqi] still had no movement, which meant that he had not finished "listening" to that volume of the [book of five rings].

Sun Po continued to say to Li Tiance in his heart, "This item is indeed an unprecedented rare treasure, but I still want to hear the details of other treasures."

Li Tiance was not surprised by this, and conveyed Sun Po's meaning.

Next was the owner of the fragmented metal cube, [Gourmet Hannibal].

And as soon as the thing in his hand appeared, it instantly attracted Sun Po's attention.

Its surface was dusty, with faint light-blue mechanical patterns flowing with luster, and fine sparks flashing in the gaps.

Its momentum was far from looking as divine and miraculous as the [book of five rings] and the deformable [Vibranium], but Sun Po noticed this thing at a glance.

For no other reason, Sun Po had once obtained a part of this thing—it was the garbled code material given to Sun Po by President Chen Wang. Later, that thing was successfully loaded into [Paoding]'s MOD and turned into the [Mad Bull Blade Spirit] skill within it.

Gourmet Hannibal stood up, bowed gracefully to everyone, and holding the fragmented metal cube in his hand, said:

"I will not give any explanation for this item, but I can explain its origin."

He paused and said, "This is a treasure stolen during a scramble among several black-level beings."

Black level!!

Sun Po was no longer the pure novice he used to be. He knew that after golden, even a single star of the same rank was a huge gap. Currently, the only clearly known black card above golden was the [Ancestral Dragon] of the Qin Family. As for the extraterrestrial monsters, Sun Po did not know.

But it surely wouldn't be weak; things scrambled for by several black-level beings must be extraordinary.

And this Gourmet Hannibal being able to reap profits as a third party while several black-level beings were scrambling showed that he himself was unfathomable, and it wasn't without the intention of flexing his muscles.

But Sun Po had long been clear about the details of this gadget.

[allspark]!!

Although it was an incomplete [allspark], it was obviously much larger and much more complete than the corner he got last time.

This was a treasure that even the system could not fully analyze. Sun Po valued it extremely, and from the moment he saw this thing, he had already made up his mind to win it.

But now [Wuzhiqi] still had no movement, which meant that the [book of five rings] still hadn't been "listened" to completely.

Therefore, Sun Po forcefully suppressed his excited mood and let Li Tiance announce the continuation.

[Taoman], who appeared last, had one hand in his belly and didn't pull it out, looking quite hesitant.

Li Tiance asked in the middle, "Second Uncle-in-law? What's wrong?"

[Taoman]'s voice came through the Arrow of Mind, "I'm wondering whether to take this thing out."

Li Tiance: "——"

For a long time, [Taoman] finally pulled his hand out of his belly. With this hand pulled out, a gray-misted object appeared. That thing looked like it was shrouded in a cyan-gray mist, and could not be seen clearly.

The aura it emitted was indeed unusual. It was an extremely unfamiliar aura, not a [Deity], but far grander and more ancient than a [Deity].

Sun Po seemed to have felt a trace of this aura from the phantom images of [Overlord] and [Realm] once summoned by Xiang Yu.

But it was not the clearly featured Chaos Demon Gods Mighty Power like [Overlord] and [Realm]. That aura seemed grander, more inclusive, and heavier.

And [Taoman] also introduced, "This thing's origin is too early, I can't figure it out either. Wait, let me process it again."

Saying that, he took this mass of mist and stuffed it back into his belly. The big mouth on his belly chewing reluctantly for a long time before spitting out this treasure again. This time, the shape of this treasure finally became clear.

That was a lotus root, or rather, a strange lotus root.

Its shape at this time was cyan-gray, but not in the shape of an ordinary lotus root; instead, it was composed of five sections of lotus root forming a big-character shape, and also resembling a small humanoid figure.

Looking at this strange lotus root, Sun Po's eyes seemed to have no auction, no heaven and earth, leaving only a patch of gray mist. And within that gray mist, a cyan lotus flower swayed, looking incomparably tall, filling Sun Po's vision.

Its aura was heavy, inclusive, as if nurturing all the auras of the entire heaven and earth within it.

A single lotus in the eternal blue sky—Sun Po inexplicably thought of this description.

What kind of divine object was this that could still leave such an ancient and profound aura after turning into material?

Sun Po was sighing with emotion when suddenly, Sun Po felt an irrepressible impulse in his body: "This aura is... [demon pill]?"
