Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 425: Rewards 2
The treasure house was six storeys tall.
With the reward jades, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan could access the first three floors.
After arriving and presenting the reward jades for inspection, they entered the building and began looking around. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
[Ayuan, do you see anything?] Shen Xu asked, and Zhen Yuan chuckled before answering.
[I wasn’t wrong.] He said and quickly continued.
[There aren’t any precious treasures on the surface, but I already see a few leaks.]
Shen Xu was excited when he heard this.
However, he was familiar with the routine and schooled his expression to hide his excitement.
[Let’s work up to them.] He said and pulled Zhen Yuan to the nearest shelf.
At a glance, the treasures were exhibited according to their element, and the nearest section was the earth element.
[Anything?] The double asked.
[Sixth item from the left.] Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.
[The clay? Isn’t that deep earth clay?] The double asked with a confused expression.
Deep earth clay was a weapons refining material used to refine pill furnaces.
Although it was a rare good material, they had better options, so Shen Xu didn’t think highly of it.
[There is a living thing in the clay.] Zhen Yuan revealed and continued.
[Its laws are less complex than Yang Shi’s or Feng Xue’s, but they are more complex than ordinary monsters. It should be an elemental monster.] He said.
[Do you know what it is?] Shen Xu asked, but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
[I don’t know, but it’s definitely a good thing.]
Hearing this, Shen Xu didn’t continue asking.
Instead, he patiently checked all the items on the shelf before settling on the deep earth clay.
"I happen to need deep earth clay. Let’s take it for the time being. It won’t be too late to return it if we find better materials." He said, mostly for the benefit of Luo Jianfeng and other masters who were secretly observing their actions.
"I will listen to you." Zhen Yuan said and helped Shen Xu take down the heap of deep earth clay.
After the earth section, the two moved to the gold section but didn’t find any leaks and were forced to move to the next section.
The section was for attributeless treasures and was discernibly the biggest section on the first floor.
[There are three leaks in this section.] Zhen Yuan revealed, and Shen Xu almost screamed from excitement.
However, he controlled himself and began looking around.
[Which ones are they?] He asked.
[The fourth painting, the second meteorite, and the seventh image stone.]
[What’s special about them?] Shen Xu asked, secretly glancing at the three treasures.
The fourth painting showed twelve immortals, sitting beneath a fruit tree, drinking wine and chatting happily.
When he looked at it, Shen Xu felt it had a unique charm, but it wasn’t until he used his third eye that he realised the surface painting was an illusion.
After dispelling the illusion, he saw that the twelve immortals were actually buddhas. Additionally, the Buddhas were not drinking and talking beneath the fruit tree. Instead, the fruit tree was actually a bodhi tree, and the twelve buddhas were meditating beneath it.
[Ayuan...] Shen Xu called in an excited voice.
[Could we have found the bodhi tree?] He asked, but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
[The bodhi tree is a priceless primordial treasure. However, the painting’s laws are below that level.] He said.
After saying that, Zhen Yuan hesitated but still continued.
[I am not sure what the painting is about, but I know it’s a treasure. We won’t suffer a loss.] He said, and Shen Xu nodded.
Like other primordial treasures, there was only one bodhi tree in existence.
Although the painting did not contain the bodhi tree, Shen Xu felt the treasure had something to do with enlightenment, which was definitely something they needed, especially because they planned to enter the temple of chants and the Xuanwu secret realm.
[What about the meteorite and image stone?] He asked and tilted his head with a thoughtful expression.
In fact, he was unusually attracted to the meteorite and guessed it was more than an ordinary stone.
[There is a fire inside the meteorite. It should be a heavenly fire or strange fire.] Zhen Yuan said, and the double’s heart skipped a beat.
He was always excited when he encountered a fire and couldn’t wait to break the meteorite to uncover the truth.
Additionally, the meteorite was a treasure in and of itself.
With it, Shen Xu could refine a powerful weapon that could be auctioned for billions of spirit stones.
[As for the image stone, it’s actually not an image stone.] Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu raised an eyebrow.
[What is it?] He asked.
[It’s a seasons pearl.] Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu subconsciously gasped.
A seasons Pearl was a priceless treasure that could control an area’s weather. With it, their group would enjoy perfect weather regardless of the prevailing season.
’We can have spring or autumn all year round.’ The double smiled with a self-indulgent expression.
After going around in circles, the two picked the three items before moving to the next section.
However, their actions confused the watching masters.
"Deep earth clay, a useless painting, a meteorite, and an image stone,..., why did they choose those things?" A master asked with a perplexed expression.
"Is there something special about those things?"
"What can be special about them?" An elder asked and sneered.
They had thoroughly examined the treasure house and removed everything that the sect didn’t want to lose.
"Should we intercept their items?" Another asked, but several others shook their heads.
"On what grounds?" One asked.
"Also, we removed all the good things. The remaining things can barely be called treasures." He said.
In this way, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan walked around the first floor but didn’t discover other leaks.
As a result, they walked to the second floor, and Zhen Yuan almost burst into laughter.
’XiaoXu will definitely be happy when we collect all the treasures on the second floor.’ He thought.
