Chapter 299

After seeing the true nature of these Four Treasures of the Study, Lu Yang hesitated not a moment and directly stored them away.

'The appearance of the Four Treasures of the Study is not merely for aesthetics; it is also a seal. Without a bloodline that meets the standards, one恐怕 cannot even open the seal to retrieve the treasure.'

'So that is it. This is the true use of 【True Dragon Bloodline】!'

He had previously suspected in his heart that 【True Dragon Bloodline】 was merely an inferior version of 【Innate Immortal Spirit】, wondering how it could possibly be a golden talent.

Now it seemed the judgment of the 【Book of Hundred Lives】 was indeed precise.

The use of 【True Dragon Bloodline】 lay not in the meager bonuses it provided, but in enabling him to legitimately and reasonably inherit the property of the True Dragon clan!

'Almost everything in this treasury has a seal加持; only a True Dragon can make use of them, and not just any mixed-blood at that—it must be a direct offspring of a Dragon Lord, someone of the level of a Heavenly Qiu. If I did not have the 【True Dragon Bloodline】 talent, even if I entered the treasury, I could only look on in helplessness.'

"Not bad, not bad..."

While sighing with emotion, Lu Yang pocketed the "Heavenly Speech Kunye Dragon Chapter," then pondered for a moment before storing away the desk that had held the items as well.

After all, this was 【Jia Wood】!

Such superior spiritual material could be refined into a high-grade magic treasure with just a little effort if taken outside; why leave it when no one ever complains about having too much money?

"It's all mine!"

Soon, Lu Yang moved to the bookshelf on the left, his gaze falling upon a teapot on the first shelf; lifting the lid, he found it filled with a stream of spiritual water.

Seeing this, Suo Huan standing nearby immediately raised an eyebrow:

"【One Heaven True Water】?"

Hearing this, Lu Yang's eyes instantly brightened: The essence of all waters, the purest of pure yin, a single drop could transform into rivers and seas; it was a top-grade spiritual material for refining a blessed land.

"It is said this object embodies the form and meaning of 'Heaven generates One to create Water, Earth completes it with Six'; thus, by taking just one drop daily and sending it into the blessed land to circulate and transform for six times six, totaling thirty-six days, one can maximize the potential of the blessed land, thereby accumulating sufficient foundation for future ascension and transformation into a grotto-heaven."

Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately looked toward Heavenly Qiu.

Heavenly Qiu nodded upon hearing this: "Indeed, this was prepared by Father, waiting for me to condense a blessed land so he could help me rapidly perfect it."

"..."

What a rich dog!

While cursing such shameless cultivation by relying on resources in his heart, Lu Yang stored all the 【One Heaven True Water】 into the 【Li Hen Heaven】.

Mine!

This was not the end; immediately after, Lu Yang conveniently pocketed the teapot as well, for something capable of holding such spiritual water was surely a treasure itself!

"What is next?"

Lu Yang shifted his gaze to the seal on the second shelf of the left bookshelf, only to see several large characters inscribed upon it: 【Yan Xiu Xian Ying Water-Dividing Dragon Lord】.

'Is this... the merit and qi fortune of the Dragon Clan!?' Lu Yang held the treasure seal in his hand and weighed it, immediately feeling an unprecedented heaviness; viewing it with the 【Exquisite Heart】, he felt as if a mist covered his eyes, and in a trance, he seemed to see ten thousand dragons galloping, raising clouds and spreading rain.

'Of course, this is the Dragon Lord preparing to join the Dao Court...'

Quite thorough, having even planned out the official position; this was a massive amount of qi fortune, and using it to activate the 【Fortune-Appraising Lot Drawing】 would almost certainly yield a great auspicious result!

Lu Yang thought for a moment and pocketed the seal.

"Mine!"

On the third shelf of the left bookshelf lay a piece of jade with seven orifices, rising and falling slightly like a living creature, inhaling and exhaling massive amounts of spiritual energy every moment.

"This object is named the 【Separation and Union Jade Gui】."

Heavenly Qiu explained from the side: "It possesses seven orifices; if one drops a drop of heart blood into it, many external forces inflicted upon oneself can be transferred into the jade gui."

"And the more external qi the jade gui bears, the more of its innate seven orifices will close; when all seven orifices are closed, it indicates the jade gui is completely saturated and can no longer be used. One must spend time using the fire of magic power to refine it, and only after the seven orifices reopen can it be used again."

This was a treasure for protecting the body.

If Heavenly Qiu had carried this 【Separation and Union Jade Gui】 with him back then, Lu Yang might not necessarily have been able to capture him; perhaps he would have successfully escaped.

"Also mine!"

Lu Yang flicked his wide sleeve and stored it away.

Immediately after, he followed the same method, dismantling the now-empty left bookshelf entirely and taking it with him, leaving the Dragon Clan not even a needle or thread. The right bookshelf.

On the first shelf sat a small box, which similarly required bloodline authentication to open; when Lu Yang opened it, he was greeted by a tidal wave of spiritual energy.

"Hiss!"

So many! So big! So full!

Though it appeared to be merely a small box, it hid mysteries within, containing a space of fully a hundred li, where various spiritual materials were piled into small mountains!

This was clearly the rare and precious treasures the Dragon Clan had scraped together from overseas during their countless years of dominating the seas; it contained spiritual wood, spiritual fire, spiritual water, spiritual earth, and spiritual iron, possessing all five elements with nothing lacking, and they were obviously carefully selected, showing a trend of mutual complementation.

"This was also prepared by Father."

Heavenly Qiu hurriedly explained: "It was also meant for me to use these spiritual materials to construct a five-element cycle within the blessed land once I refined it, increasing the probability of transforming into a grotto-heaven..."

Speaking of this, Heavenly Qiu felt somewhat melancholy:

"Come to think of it, these spiritual materials were actually several times more abundant a few thousand years ago; alas, my elder brother used up more than half of them back then in his quest for gold."

Lu Yang: "..."

What a waste of heavenly treasures!

In an instant, Lu Yang's eyes turned red.

Having used so many spiritual materials, yet Heavenly Qiu in his previous life was still solo-killed by Suo Huan, it was evident that using these on Heavenly Qiu was simply a despicable waste.

"To prevent such things from continuing to happen, I must trouble myself a bit..."

Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately waved his hand, storing all the spiritual materials in the box into the 【Li Hen Heaven】; naturally, he did not spare the box itself either.

I want it all!

The last item was a crystal ball; Lu Yang fixed his gaze upon it and saw within the crystal ball a vast, boundless sea and magnificent scenery.

'This is a blessed land... no, it is a grotto-heaven!'

A fragment of a grotto-heaven!

At this moment, Lu Yang was once again deeply shocked by the extent of the True Dragon clan's wealth as rich dogs; no wonder the True Dragon clan dared not release even a whisper of news.

To say nothing of others, if the Holy Sect were to learn of this, the Dragon Palace would never know peace again.

"This is a fragment of the 【Heavenly Canopy Di Xuan Grotto-Heaven】."

Heavenly Qiu standing nearby explained once more: "It is said to have been left by a Dragon Lord identical to my father in the past, and the fruit position he held was precisely 【Heavenly River Water】."

"According to Father's plan, if our clan could produce another Dragon Lord who attains 【Heavenly River Water】, we could refine this fragment of a grotto-heaven, which would greatly accelerate the gestation speed of the grotto-heaven and shorten the time needed to advance to the Mid Stage of Golden Core; however, until now, no dragon has been able to use it..."

"Mine!"

Before the words had even left his mouth, Lu Yang had already pocketed the crystal ball, his hands trembling with excitement; without a doubt, he had truly struck it rich this time!

"No time to lose, let us go quickly!"

Lu Yang's expression was tense; no matter how many resources one carried, possessing them was a crime in itself; only by using them and transforming them into strength could he feel at ease!

'If this continues... could it be that in this life, I too have hope to seek gold once?'

Soon, Lu Yang dismantled and stored away the empty right bookshelf as well.

"This treasury is so large and can hold so many good things, which shows the treasury itself is a treasure... Dig up the floor and take down the ceiling too!"

He was not a greedy person.

Mainly, he felt that since he had emptied the treasury, the Dragon Lord would surely be heartbroken upon returning and seeing it; therefore, he might as well take the entire treasury away, so that out of sight would be out of mind.

Eh, I am truly a great benevolent person!
