Chapter 176: Treasure Hall, Sword Pill?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tuoba Cheng had been in seclusion since the battle at the foot of the Nine Mystic Mountain.
He had always claimed that he was seriously injured.
Han Muye felt that this old fox might not be completely healing himself. He might be plotting something.
Following that disciple, Han Muye walked all the way to Three Stones House.
Three Stones House was much quieter because Zhao Pu and the others had left the mountain.
When he walked to the second floor of the wooden building, Tuoba Cheng, who was sitting upright, was creating a White Tiger Scroll.
However, this White Tiger Scroll was different from before. When he was tens of feet away, Han Muye actually felt a surging blood aura.
This time, Tuoba Cheng was really pouring his blood essence into the painting.
“Kid Han, come and take a look at my painting.”
When Han Muye arrived, Tuoba Cheng did not look up and spoke in a deep voice.
Han Muye took a few steps forward and felt a sense of solemnity.
“Uncle-Master Tuoba, you broke through to the Core Formation realm?”
Tuoba Cheng’s cultivation talent was superb. His Sword Dao condensed into the White Tiger Sword Force, and he used the sword force to fight against a half-step Heaven Realm expert.
Now that his spiritual energy cultivation had also broken through to the Core Formation realm, his combat strength had increased again.
“Haha, I can’t hide it from you, kid.”
Tuoba Cheng, who had straightened his back, had a ruddy complexion. His eyes flickered, and he did not look injured at all.
As expected, this guy was in seclusion to break through. He was not seriously injured.
“Uncle-Master, congratulations on your breakthrough.” Han Muye cupped his hands and said with a smile, “It’s just that Senior Brother Zhao Pu and the others don’t know about this joyous occasion yet. Uncle-Master should send someone to inform them.”
Zhao Pu and the others had always thought that it was difficult for their master to resolve the knot in his heart. His cultivation had stagnated, and it was difficult for him to recover from his serious injuries.
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Cheng was in seclusion to break through.
Han Muye felt that the disciples of the Three Stones House were really pitiful. His master, Tuoba Cheng, was a guy who played his disciples like monkeys.
“No, thanks.”
Tuoba Cheng waved his hand and put down the ink brush. Then he looked at his White Tiger Scroll and said, “Let them train.”
“My disciples have to have the ability to fight against demons.”
Han Muye couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Tuoba Cheng raised his head and looked at Han Muye. He sized him up and said, “You broke through in your body-refining technique?”
Han Muye nodded, and the shadow of a bull appeared behind him.
“Backtracking?” A trace of surprise appeared on Tuoba Cheng’s face. He nodded and said, “You’re quite bold.”
Retracing the origin was easy, and involved refining the power of the bloodline.
However, because there were too few ancient bloodlines, he could not learn from them. It was easy to make mistakes if he slowly explored.
In Tuoba Cheng’s opinion, Han Muye was taking a gamble by daring to cultivate the Bull Strength Technique.
“Who do you think would be the most appropriate person to hand over Three Stones House to?”
Turning around, Tuoba Cheng suddenly spoke.
Who to hand over the Three Stones House to?
Han Muye was slightly taken aback.
Tuoba Cheng’s blood essence was condensed. He had just broken through to the Core Formation realm and had a long lifespan. Why did he suddenly say that?
Seeing Han Muye looking at him, Tuoba Cheng waved his hand and said, “Sect Master has another mission for me. I want to put aside the Three Stones House for the time being.
“Are you willing to take over Three Stones House?”
Take over Three Stones House?
The courtyard of an Earth Realm elder on the Nine Mystic Mountain was not devoid of substance.
If there was a courtyard, there would be corresponding industries.
Three Stones House was at the top of the earth-type lineage and had many industries.
Spiritual minerals mines, spiritual fields, and shops in the market.
With these, he could earn hundreds of thousands of spiritual rocks every year.
Not everyone was like Han Muye, whose flow of spiritual rocks was like water.
Three Stones House earned hundreds of thousands a year and was a wealthy family on Nine Mystic Mountain.
Moreover, there were many experts under Three Stones House.
Although only Zhao Pu was at the Earth Realm, there were a bunch of other Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation cultivators.
Earth lineage, body refinement, resistance to beatings, and obedience.
Thinking of so many benefits, Han Muye really wanted to hold Three Stones House in his hands.
But when he thought about it, he shook his head.
“Uncle-Master, if you really have something else to do, hand Three Stones House to Senior Brother Zhao Pu. If there’s anything you need my help with, I won’t hold back.”
He was already in charge of the Sword Pavilion, so how could he have the energy to interfere with the Three Stones House?
Besides, Zhao Pu had long wanted to be the number one person in Three Stones House, so he could not s.n.a.t.c.h his position.
“Hehe, I thought you would let Lin Shen take over.” Tuoba Cheng shook his head and smiled. “Since you recommended Zhao Pu, let’s wait until he returns to the mountain.”
“I think the matter at the Abyss Valley is about to end.”
Han Muye knew that Tuoba Cheng’s seclusion was not real. Didn’t he know everything that was happening outside?
He was probably just probing when he said that he would be in charge of the Three Stones House.
Do you think I care? Han Muye thought.
“Your body tempering cultivation is still low.”
Tuoba Cheng looked at Han Muye and said, “Go to the sect’s Treasure Hall and find two sets of tiger bones. I’ll teach you the White Tiger Movement and let you quickly temper your body. As long as you cultivate diligently, your body tempering cultivation speed before Foundation Establishment will be very fast.”
As he spoke, Tuoba Cheng handed a scroll to Han Muye.
This was Three Stones House’s inherited body tempering technique, White Tiger Movement.
It was said that the White Tiger Movement was a powerful cultivation technique that could cultivate the bloodline of ancient divine beasts.
Han Muye was still a little confused when they walked out of the Three Stones Temple.
Tuoba Chenghe has given me his inheritance cultivation technique?
As he walked on the mountain path and slowly recalled, Han Muye trembled.
Did the sect master give Tuoba Cheng a mission?
What mission requires him to put aside the Three Stones House?
Sect Master Jin Ze seems to have exhausted his lifespan. What mission does he have now?
Could it be that Jin Ze really has the intention to let Tuoba Cheng take over the position of sect master?
Before there are any signs of this, it’s better not to speculate too much.
However, since he had taken Three Stones House’s White Tiger Movement, Han Muye turned to the Treasure Hall.
The Treasure Hall was where the Sword Sect kept all kinds of treasures.
As long as it wasn’t a sword, it would be sent here.
Spiritual herbs, medicinal pills, and various Dharma artifacts were stored in the Treasure Hall.
If he wanted to obtain treasures from the Treasure Hall, he would have to exchange them for merit points.
Not everyone could make exchanges. At the very least, only the true disciples of the various lineages were qualified to enter the Treasure Hall.
The Treasure Hall had a total of three floors. The first floor was for the true disciples, the second floor for the elders, and the third floor for the direct disciples. Only the Grand Elder, the Sect Master, or a few seventh or eighth-stage Golden Core elders with profound cultivation could go.
When Han Muye arrived at the Treasure Hall, there were not many people at the door.
Now that the direct disciples and even many elders had left the mountain, this place was naturally deserted.
“Senior Brother Han of the Sword Pavilion?”
Han Muye walked into the Treasure Hall. An old man sitting at the door stood up with a surprised expression.
“What a rare guest.”
Han Muye looked up at him. He had seen him a few days ago at the meeting in the main hall.
Han Muye didn’t know his name.
“Han Muye greets Senior Brother.”
Han Muye cupped his hands at the old man and said softly, “I cultivate body techniques, so I want to find two sets of tiger bones.”
Body Tempering Technique, search for Tiger Bones.
The old man looked at Han Muye and said with a smile, “My name is Qiu Shan, one of the five deacons guarding this Treasure Hall.
“Since Senior Brother Han wants to find the tiger bones, you can go to the second floor store where various demon beast skeletons are kept.”
At this point, Qiu Shan said in a low voice, “Senior Brother Han, the treasures in the Treasure Hall are not accepted directly like receiving a sword.”
Treasure Hall treasures had a price.
Of course, Han Muye knew this.
Moreover, the price of treasures in the Treasure Hall was higher than in the market outside.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be profitable to exchange for treasures from the Treasure Hall and sell them outside?
The disciples of the sect came here to exchange for treasures mainly because there were indeed treasures in the Treasure Hall and they were urgently needed for cultivation. They were rare outside, so they came here to exchange for treasures.
“I understand.” Han Muye smiled and cupped his hands. Then, under Qiu Shan’s guidance, he ascended to the second floor.
The Treasure Hall was somewhat similar to the Sword Pavilion. All kinds of items were placed on shelves.
However, the treasures here were of various sizes, and the wooden shelves were different.
Just like the 30-foot-long jade-colored tree that he saw as soon as he entered, it really took up 30 feet of the wooden frame.
Han Muye looked at the treasures in the Treasure Hall with interest.
There were all kinds of Dharma artifacts, talismans, array discs, and pills.
These were finished items.
There were also various spiritual materials, spiritual herbs, and the skeletons of various demon beasts. Those were materials.
In addition, there were also some broken artifacts, wooden staffs, array discs, and other items that had lost their spiritual energy.
There were also some items that could not be identified because they were special materials or obtained from extraordinary places. They would also be stored in the Treasure Hall.
Han Muye had never known that the Treasure Hall was so fun. If he had known, he would have come to search for treasures.
“Senior Brother, are you here to pick up sc.r.a.ps too?”
When Han Muye squatted in front of a small clay pot, a young man in a pale white Daoist robe smiled and spoke.
“I have my eyes on this clay pot. Although this item is ordinary, it has at least 3,000 years of history. I suspect this is a wine pot that was pa.s.sed down from ancient times.”
The young man was a little friendly as he squatted beside Han Muye and explained in a low voice.
After hearing the young man’s introduction, these unknown treasures seemed really useful.
Moreover, many of them were exchanged for unexpected opportunities.
“Senior Brother, my name is Liu Hong. If you want to go on a treasure hunt, I suggest you take this one.”
The young man handed a dark fist-sized iron ball to Han Muye.
“This is an ancient sword pill.”
Sword Pill!
Big fist?
And dark?
Han Muye took it.
It was cold to the touch and heavy.
This was a lump of metal.
“Senior Brother, this sword pill is only worth 1,000 merit points here. It’s cheap. An Ancient Sword Pill is worth at least a million spiritual rocks at the auction.”
Liu Hong patted Han Muye’s shoulder and sighed.
“Finding it ensures a profit. Unfortunately, I don’t have that many spiritual rocks and merit points.”
He looked regretfully at the fist-sized sword pill in Han Muye’s hand.
A thousand merit points were worth a hundred thousand spiritual rocks in exchange for this iron lump?
Han Muye shook his head and was about to put it back when his hand suddenly stopped.
At that moment, the sword pill in his dantian throbbed.
Is this a sense?
After putting away the iron lump, Han Muye stood up and walked out.
Buy tiger bones.
The two sets of tiger bones had a total of 300 merit points, which was 30,000 spiritual rocks.
When Han Muye dragged the tiger bones and the iron lump to Qiu Shan to pay the spiritual rocks, Qiu Shan was stunned.
“Senior Brother Han, did you meet Liu Hong?”
Qiu Shan looked at the iron lump in Han Muye’s palm and asked in a deep voice.
Han Muye nodded.
Qiu Shan waved his hand and said helplessly, “Don’t believe him.”
“He’s the grandson of Senior Brother Liu Chuanyi. His cultivation isn’t much, but he has all kinds of ideas.
“No one will exchange for those damaged treasures. Senior Brother Liu Chuanyi gave him a task to think of a way to deal with those treasures.
“He’s taking a commission.”
I see. Han Muye nodded.
As long as there was a commission job in the world, he would try to sell those damaged treasures.
Seeing Han Muye nod, Qiu Shan reached out and said, “Give me that thing. I’ll send it back later.”
Han Muye looked up and waved his hand. “Senior Brother Qiu, I want this thing.”
