275: Are you out of your mind to inhale like that?

Rumble—

As the million-jin Dragon-Severing Stone fell completely, the outside clamor was instantly cut off.

Next, tens of thousands of Deep Sea Night Pearls embedded in the treasury ceiling lit up simultaneously, their soft yet brilliant light illuminating this space that had been silent for a thousand years as if it were day.

This was not a room at all.

This was an independent Small World forcibly opened by a master of Divine Ability!

As far as the eye could see, Spirit Stones were piled into mountains—actual "mountains."

Even the ones casually piled at the outermost edge were high-purity High-Grade Spirit Stones rarely seen in the outside world, emitting Spiritual Qi so dense it almost turned into droplets; a single breath felt like one's lungs were burning.

In the distance, towering shelves reached into the clouds, filled with all kinds of weapons, Jade Slips, and Medicinal Pills, each flowing with a heart-palpitating treasure light of age.

"So this is... heritage."

Luo Tianfei took a deep breath, a hint of shock finally appearing on her proud face.

"With so many good things and only two months, even if I swallowed them, I wouldn't have time to absorb it all." Luo Tianfei looked at the dazzling array of treasures, her brow furrowing slightly as she considered which treasures best suited her Divine Phoenix Bloodline.

However.

Just as she was lamenting about "the chaotic flowers becoming a blur to the eyes."

A strange noise suddenly came from beside her.

"Hoo—Hah—Hoo—Hah—"

It was the sound of exaggerated airflow, like a giant whale sucking in water.

Luo Tianfei snapped her head around, and her entire body froze.

She saw Lu Sheng standing before the mountain of Spirit Stones, with no intention of choosing at all.

His arms were wide open, as if he wanted to pull the entire mountain into his embrace, and his hands moved so fast they left afterimages.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Every time he waved his hand, a large chunk of the Spirit Stones that were piled high would vanish into thin air.

One hundred cubic meters, two hundred cubic meters, five hundred cubic meters... He was like a tireless humanoid vacuum cleaner; wherever he passed, the ground was scraped clean, not even sparing the broken Spirit Stones used for flooring.

"Lu Sheng! Are you crazy?!"

Luo Tianfei's eyes widened, her voice changing pitch: "This is a Legacy Treasury! The Elders let us in to find an Opportunity to break through, and you're here... moving bricks?!"

"What do you know?"

Lu Sheng didn't even turn his head, his movements becoming even faster as he mumbled indistinctly: "This is called strategic resource stockpiling. Think about it, does it not cost money to fight outside? Don't you need supplies when injured? Besides, if we lose that Holy Land Grand Competition, leaving these things for those Old Men would be aiding the enemy. I might as well keep them safe for them."

Keep safe?

This was clearly embezzlement!

Luo Tianfei watched the mountain of Spirit Stones disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, her eyelid twitching wildly.

She finally understood why the Grand Elder looked so pained when he watched Lu Sheng before closing the door.

This wasn't letting in a Daoist Seed; this was letting in a greedy Pixiu!

[Ding! High-purity Spirit Source Crystal detected!]

[storage space remaining capacity: 200/1000 cubic meters!]

Looking at the prompts flooding his retina, Lu Sheng felt wonderful.

What is getting rich? This is getting rich!

A few minutes later, until the System space was stuffed full, with not even a crack left, Lu Sheng finally stopped with lingering desire.

He patted the non-existent dust off his hands, turned to look at the still-dazed Luo Tianfei, and said with a look of disappointment: "Big Stupid Bird, don't just stand there, hurry up and find something. This kind of Opportunity to pick treasures freely might only come once in a lifetime."

Luo Tianfei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to kick this guy to death.

"Vulgar!"

She snorted coldly and turned into a purple rainbow, heading straight for the area in the depths of the treasury emitting intense heat fluctuations.

There, she felt an aura that made even her Divine Phoenix Bloodline throb.

Seeing Luo Tianfei walk away, the playful grin on Lu Sheng's face instantly vanished.

His dark gold vertical pupils suddenly contracted into needle-like points.

"System, stop playing dead."

Lu Sheng ordered in his mind, his tone calm and decisive: "Start full-power scanning. What I want isn't junk, but top-tier goods that even the Dragon inside me finds 'delicious'."

[Ding! Dragon Eyes fully activated!]

[Filtering low-tier items...]

[Locking onto high-dimensional rule reactions...]

Buzz!

Lu Sheng's vision changed instantly.

Those radiant, excellent-looking Heaven Rank divine weapons instantly became dull and lusterless in his eyes, turning into worthless scrap metal.

His gaze pierced through layers of treasure light, skipped over countless treasures, and finally locked onto a pile of junk in the furthest corner of the treasury.

There were some slag and defective products that looked like failed forging attempts.

At the bottom of that pile of trash, a black, even rusty, broken iron box was pressed down.

"That's the one."

Lu Sheng's heart throbbed, a sense of greed originating from the depths of his Bloodline making his mouth dry.

He walked over in a few steps, kicked away the waste on top, and bent down to pick up the iron box.

It was extremely heavy!

This palm-sized box was actually heavier than a small mountain! If he didn't have 200 tons of monstrous strength, an ordinary Spirit Master probably wouldn't even be able to lift it.

"Click."

Lu Sheng forced open the rusted lid.

Clang—!!!

There was no light.

Only a scalp-numbing, purely sharp aura erupted without warning!

Countless fine blood streaks appeared on Lu Sheng's skin, which was comparable to divine gold, as if he had been scraped by invisible blades.

In the center of the box lay a piece of silver-white metal about the size of a baby's fist, exhibiting a strange liquid flow.

The space around it was constantly being sliced open, healed, and sliced open again.

[Target: Taibai Essence Gold Mother]

[Grade: Star Core Grade (???)]

[Description: This is the manifestation of the Law of Gold! The sole core left after a star containing the ultimate Law of Gold collapsed in destruction. Even after billions of years, the rules inside it are still operating on their own.]

[Evaluation: Don't use it for blacksmithing, that's a waste! Swallow it, and your bones will be ten thousand times harder than the hardest alloy in this world!]

"A star's core..."

Lu Sheng licked the blood beads on his lips, the light in his eyes terrifyingly bright, "Now this is a treasure."

With a flip of his hand, his powerful spirit source turned into a Seal, forcibly suppressing the sharp aura that could shred an ordinary Spirit Master, and he stuffed it directly into his robes.

Next.

He suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing directly at the treasury ceiling.

At the very top of this Small World, there was a "small sun" serving as a light source.

Everyone would think it was a giant night pearl or a Formation core.

But in Lu Sheng's [Dragon Eyes], it was a red heart that was burning intensely and even "breathing"!

[Target: Geocentric Red Lotus Core]

[Grade: World-Class Fire Seed]

[Description: The last bit of fire seed condensed by a plane that is about to wither before its gravity collapses; it represents destruction, but also rebirth.]

Gold, governing slaughter, indestructible.

Fire, governing explosion, incinerating the eight directions.

These two things exactly corresponded to the dual-element System in his body!

"Whoosh!"

Lu Sheng didn't hesitate at all, his whole body like a sky-piercing cannonball, crashing directly toward the ceiling.

A few seconds later.

He landed steadily, holding the red bead that was so hot it could burn through the Void Realm.

At this time, Luo Tianfei in the distance also seemed to have gained something.

She held a piece of charred wood in her hands; although it looked ugly, the vitality and sense of Nirvana emanating from it were so dense it was startling.

That was the [Wutong Divine Wood Heart].

"Seems like you didn't return empty-handed either." Lu Sheng tossed the red bead and glanced at Luo Tianfei.

"Likewise."

Luo Tianfei glanced at the two seemingly unremarkable but terrifyingly powerful items in Lu Sheng's hands, a trace of wariness flashing in her eyes, then she snorted: "Biting off more than you can chew. Lu Sheng, with so many top-tier elemental items, don't end up blowing yourself up before you finish absorbing them."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Lu Sheng grinned and found a wide Gold Essence Stone Platform to sit cross-legged on.

He looked at the [Taibai Essence Gold Mother] in his left hand and the [Geocentric Red Lotus Core] in his right.

For an ordinary Spirit Master's promotion, it's just about sensing Laws and condensing an illusory "Rule Seed" or "Domain Embryo" in the body.

That is borrowing the power of heaven and earth.

Too weak.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and the crazy idea in his mind began to take root and sprout.

Since I am a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, the only Dragon God Sequence in this world.

Why should I learn to imitate like those ordinary people?

I want to use these two Materials, not just to condense a Domain, but to... directly forge a physical, living—Elemental Incarnation!

"Big Stupid Bird."

Before Lu Sheng closed his eyes, he suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of heart-shaking madness.

"You better practice with all your might."

"Because for this next wave..."

"I'm going to take off."
