Chapter 323 The True Treasury
"I truly hope that you are right." Liu Feng nodded as he kept walking in.
As he walked in, the quality of treasures inside also increased. There were mountains of mid-grade spirit stones now. These were so much more valuable than the low grade spirit stones, and were so much rarer as well.
Liu Feng looked at the mountain and laughed at the times he thought that spirit stones were actually valuable.
In fact, he still held on to the middle grade spirit stone that he got from the bandit. He never got to using it, because during his time in the city of heavens, he had as many middle grade spirit stones as he wanted.
He left them as well though. He had no use for them. They would not exactly help him in the future, and although he would need a few treasures to have a good time in the Ancient Realm when he would go there, he had enough middle grade spirit stones to keep him going.
As they kept going, Liu Feng uninterestedly looked forward.
To the sides were the same treasures repeated again and again, boring the hell out of him.
But once they got to the end of the treasury, it was still not over. It was no dead end that stood before them, but another door. This door was probably what would lead to another closed space that was going to be much better than the one they were in right now.
"There is a lock here, obviously." Liu Feng pointed out. He tried putting up the jade token, but nothing happened. It did not react to it.
Then, Liu Feng dug through Hong Qiu's spatial ring, when he found that there was a jade token that was similar to the one that he was holding on his other hand. Taking that jade token out, the door in front of them shone.
"Of course. I knew that it made no sense that Hong Qiu would allow some random person to have control of the treasury while he went into battle. He had the key to the actual treasury." Liu Feng realized.
The door clicked, and then creaked open. This time though, there was no golden glimmer from beyond the door. It was just dark inside.
And Liu Feng wasn't hoping that this place would be filled with treasures. He didn't want quantity. He wanted quality. He needed items that would actually help him.
Walking in first with Cai Guo right behind him on his heels, Liu Feng looked around the sparsely decorated place.
There was almost nothing here to show for the fact that this was the treasury of the Hong family. There were a few skill books on one side. These were probably the most important skills of the Hong family, which made or broke a sect.
And on another side was a glass case. In the glass case, there was a shining shield. The shield had patterns on it that gleamed even without a source of light. The aura that it gave told Liu Feng one thing.
This was an Imperial Grade weapon. And a defensive one no less.
"I am going to take this one, Family Head. I am very interested in this." Liu Feng said as he held his hand up, using his divine sense to bring the shield straight to the held up hand, and put it in his spatial ring.
Cai Guo did not react though. There were times when he would need to fold, and this was one of them. He had to concede many a thing to Liu Feng. Even if he lost the entire treasury here, he would have to suck it up, because he had the entire treasury behind him to supplement the Cai family.
"Oh! So many High Grade Spirit stones? Looks like the Hong family would have lasted a long while if we tried to have a battle of attrition." Liu Feng realized as he picked up a large bag with hundreds of High Grade spirit stones within them.
The difference between a High Grade Sprit stone and a medium grade spirit stone was vast. Too vast for them to be comparable.
Even though ten thousand medium grade spirit stones had the same Qi as one High grade spirit stone, anyone would be a fool to actually trade. The High grade spirit stone was just that precious.
It obviously hurt Cai Guo when Liu Feng pocketed all of them, but he still calmed down. He looked back and relaxed, remembering that he had all of that for himself.
Liu Feng stopped in front of the last three displays.
One had a single, thumb sized spirit stone. Liu Feng did not say anything and just put that spirit stone inside his spatial ring, separate from everything else.
And then, he looked at the other two items.
One was a green orb, and the other was a blue orb.
"Truly marvellous things, these are, Young Noble. They are concentrations of Dao. The green one can only be the Dao of Wind, while the blue one should be the Dao of Water." Cai Guo said.
Liu Feng was about to touch the blue orb, when he felt a sharp pain in his hands.
Ping!
[The system urges Host not to take a concentration of Dao as it will hamper future potential.]
"It's been a while since it spoke." Liu Feng sighed as he took back his hand.
"I guess that these two are not destined for me, family head. They are yours to take. I will just peruse through the skill books and memorize what I will want."
Liu Feng walked to the skill book area, but Cai Guo was overjoyed when he went to the orbs and ogled at them.
They were his now! He certainly did not expect Liu Feng to be so generous as to give him these things. They were more precious than the high grade spirit stones!
But Liu Feng himself was happy enough as he looked at his spatial ring. That was because he had the last spirit stone.
"A peak grade spirit stone!"
