Chapter 425
The legendary fifth floor of the Treasure Pavilion was actually so simple.
Wasn't it said that the fifth floor had the most treasures?
Just as Su Chen was pondering, an old voice rang in Su Chen's ears.
"Young man, stop looking; there are no treasures on the fifth floor."
Su Chen looked at the old man, and the old man also opened his eyes; his turbid eyes made it impossible to guess his thoughts.
The old man parted his mouth, revealing the few remaining withered yellow teeth.
"Is the young man very surprised that the legendary fifth floor of the Treasure Pavilion has nothing?"
Su Chen did not speak, just quietly came before the old man and then sat down.
The old man did not mind and explained.
"Everyone says the fifth floor of the Treasure Pavilion has many treasures, but only those who have entered know that there are definitely treasures, but you have to be able to afford the price."
The old man looked at Su Chen's young face and chuckled.
"I haven't seen a God-level talent in a long time; I didn't expect to see one today."
Su Chen's heart instantly surged with waves.
God-level talent!
Not many people knew about his God-level talent.
Little White Deer counted as one, and the Kings of Lanxing knew.
But in this world, the only one who knew he was a God-level talent was the old man before him.
Even Ye Feng, who was the City Lord of Tianwang City, did not know.
For a moment, Su Chen could not help but speculate about the strength of the old man before him.
However, no matter how Su Chen looked, the old man before him was just like an ordinary old man.
He could not see any clues at all.
Su Chen fell silent, while the old man parted his mouth and laughed silently.
"Is it very strange that I can see through your God-level talent?"
"However, don't be in a hurry to be surprised; I have something that will surprise you even more."
The old man's pair of turbid eyes landed on Su Chen.
This gaze made Su Chen feel uncomfortable all over, as if an elephant were staring at an ant on the ground.
This made Su Chen feel the terror of the Treasure Pavilion for the first time.
It was worthy of being the object that even the God Wang Cheng did not want to offend, as rumored; just an old man sitting in command of the fifth floor was so terrifying.
"Su Chen, Lanxing person, recently helped Tianwang City win first place in the Wang Cheng Battle, strength is roughly at the level of Li Xiaoyao, on par, but slightly weaker than Li Xiaoyao."
The old man seemed not to see Su Chen's gaze, speaking to himself.
He directly stated Su Chen's detailed information.
A brilliant light shot out from Su Chen's eyes.
However, the old man seemed not to care at all, just staring at Su Chen with a smile, and said.
"I guess you came here because you want the way to return to Lanxing, right?"
Su Chen was incredibly shocked.
All his secrets seemed to have nowhere to hide under the gaze of this old man at this moment.
For a moment, Su Chen felt a deep sense of fear in his heart.
The last time was when he was facing the gaze of an existence like the Dragon King, who was at the limit of the King-Sealing Realm.
And this time, it was before the old man before him.
"This person is definitely a King-Sealing expert, and even among King-Sealing experts, he belongs to the top existence. I just don't know if the City Lord of Tianwang City is a match for this person."
Su Chen kept calculating in his heart.
And the old man just took a deep look at Su Chen and spoke slowly.
"The Treasure Pavilion naturally has the way to return to Lanxing, but if you want this method, you have to pay the corresponding price."
Su Chen's expression was shocked; he slowly raised his head and looked at the old man.
Su Chen fell silent for a while and spoke hoarsely.
"What price?"
The old man narrowed his eyes, chuckled, and did not speak.
He just placed a token before Su Chen.
That was an ancient token, and on the token, the character "Treasure" was carved.
Faintly, Su Chen could still feel that on the token, there was a wisp of source energy fluctuation, but this fluctuation was extremely subtle; if Su Chen had not observed carefully, he would not have been able to discover it for a while.
Clearly knowing Su Chen's confusion, the old man explained.
This is the guest elder token of my Treasure Pavilion; possessing this token means you are a guest elder of my Treasure Pavilion. Every ten years, you can use this token to ask my Treasure Pavilion for help once. Of course, each time, it cannot exceed the cultivation of the holder by five stars.
"That is to say, you are currently at the Eighth-Star Grandmaster cultivation; my Treasure Pavilion can at most send a Three-Star King-Sealing expert to help you."
Hearing the old man's explanation, Su Chen was even more confused.
Could the price he had to pay be becoming a guest elder of the Treasure Pavilion?
But this was clearly a good thing.
The old man smiled slightly and said.
"Of course, becoming a guest elder of my Treasure Pavilion is not such an easy thing. Within the ten-year period, if the Treasure Pavilion needs you, you must obey the orders of the Treasure Pavilion unconditionally, even if it means going to your death!"
A brilliant light shot out from Su Chen's eyes, and he looked at the old man suddenly.
If that were the case, wouldn't that mean binding himself to the Treasure Pavilion?
If something went wrong with the Treasure Pavilion, would he have to go along with it?
For a moment, Su Chen fell into silence.
The old man seemed to see through Su Chen's worries and said with a smile.
"Becoming a guest elder of the Treasure Pavilion only lasts for ten years. If there are no problems with the Treasure Pavilion within the ten years, then naturally they won't need you. In the future, if you want to continue, then continue; if you don't want to continue, then that's that."
"And becoming a guest elder of the Treasure Pavilion allows you to get five pieces of information for free from the Treasure Pavilion every ten years, and one instance of a Treasure Pavilion expert taking action."
"And what you pay is merely helping the Treasure Pavilion take action within ten years."
"And even if you take action, they won't let you go to your death; my Treasure Pavilion has confidence in this point."
Su Chen became increasingly silent.
After a moment, Su Chen spoke.
"But if I return to Lanxing, wouldn't you have wasted your effort?"
The old man smiled mysteriously and said.
"Who said Lanxing doesn't have people from my Treasure Pavilion?"
In an instant, Su Chen's pupils shook directly!
