Just how powerful is the Si Jiucheng organization to have gathered so many treasures?
Two thousand stone pillars were filled to the brim, the area around the iron pillar was also piled high, and even behind them, countless items were stacked within each of those massive crystal cabinets.
There were bones of various life forms, massive ore deposits, and also things resembling crystal beads.
Lu Yu couldn’t figure it out—how had the Si Jiucheng gathered so much information?
Lu Yu turned around in surprise and looked at the old man, stunned. “This is the best treasure house?” he exclaimed.
The old man said, “That’s right. This is the best treasure trove. Every item here is a carefully selected treasure. This represents the nation’s power, gathered from efforts across the entire country to discover these things. Ever since before the apocalypse, people have continuously unearthed all kinds of mysterious objects—massive beast bones, strange and unidentifiable ores. No one could previously explain or analyze their effects and capabilities. Some of these items were collected by private individuals, while others were acquired by the government, primarily for secret research as enigmatic artifacts. However, after the apocalypse began, these items started showing their differences. As people learned more about the post-apocalyptic world, the true functions of these items were gradually uncovered. The fact that they are displayed here represents their immense value.”
“The power of the nation!” Lu Yu murmured to himself.
Thinking of Fangchenggang.
Compared to a nation, he was far too insignificant.
“Lu Yu, I admit that numbers don’t necessarily equate to power. But sometimes, having more people does have its advantages. Whether they’re greedy for wealth, cautious with their lives, or even corrupt officials, they might occasionally do something unexpected. That’s what makes up a nation.”
Lu Yu walked among the stone pillars and opened a box.
A brilliant light surged from the box, revealing a luminous pearl the size of a fist nestled inside.
A silver snake swam in the center of the night pearl, occasionally colliding with its edges.
“This is—” Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise, “the Silver Snake Pearl!”
The old man nodded and said, “That’s right. This is the Silver Serpent Pearl. Records state that if a human or any other being swallows the Silver Serpent Pearl, they will obtain the ability of Silver Serpent Transformation. And if someone who has achieved Silver Serpent Transformation then acquires the Dragon King’s blood, they can undergo further transformation to attain the Silver Dragon Transformation. Moreover, due to the baptism of the Dragon King’s blood, the Silver Dragon Transformation might evolve even further, directly granting the skill of Dragon Transformation.”
Silver Dragon, this is the strongest defensive life form among the dragon race.
If the Silver Dragon were to become king, its defense would be sufficient to rival armor of the Stellar Artifact class.
“I’ll take this one.” Without a moment’s hesitation, Lu Yu picked up the Silver Snake Pearl.
“Wait a moment, let me take a note.” The old man took out a small notebook and chuckled self-deprecatingly, “In the past, it was always others taking notes for me. I never thought there would come a day when I’d be the one taking notes for a young fellow like you.”
The elder recorded the possession of a Silver Serpent Pearl.
Lu Yu put away the Silver Serpent Pearl and then opened another chest.
“The soul of the poison dragon—there are actually nine of them!” Lu Yu opened the box on the stone pillar and, upon seeing the nine vials inside, couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.
This was just the opening of two boxes, yet it genuinely startled Lu Yu.
The old man reminded once again, “Lu Yu, you must remember this. If you want to take these things with you, you must pay a price that we find at least satisfactory. Be clear, it’s not about how much you offer, but whether it truly satisfies us, whether we consider it worthy and valuable.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely make you satisfied!”
Lu Yu said seriously, “You just focus on taking notes.”
Lu Yu gazed into the distance, feeling as if he might actually be able to empty this treasure trove.
There are quite a few things in my own storage space.
But compared to this place, it’s simply incomparable.
“Is this the capability of a nation?”
Lu Yu opened the third box, and several pieces of ore were placed inside, each about the size of a fist.
“What a pity. It’s not what I need.” Lu Yu shook his head, closed the box, and continued downward.
There are变异 star-spirit pearls接近王尊 level, fragments of a semi-star artifact, and even王尊 armor.
Lu Yu skipped all of these.
The old man, watching from behind, could not help but gradually show astonishment on his aged face.
He knew that Lu Yu was willing to use a star artifact to ask King to act in exchange for an armor of the Abnormal Clan.
It was known that Lu Yu had a very sharp eye and certainly possessed many treasures.
But now it seems that Lu Yu’s insight goes far beyond what appears on the surface.
The damage level of King Zun’s armor is only fifty percent; could this not even catch Lu Yu’s attention?
Lu Yu was truly amazed by the treasures in the vault; there were dozens of chests in a row, and he couldn’t even use most of the items inside.
But if these things were taken outside, even kings would probably fight疯狂ly争夺for them.
“What? Even the Poison Dragon Fruit is here! Two of them, two!” Lu Yu was startled by something inside a box.
He finally discovered two in the treasure-hunting area of the demon realm after a lot of effort.
But who would have thought that right before his eyes, there were actually two more of them.
It was these two Venom Dragon Fruits that greatly enhanced his toxicity back then, allowing him to evolve from the Venom Dragon Body to the Venom Dragon King. Where are these two Venom Dragon Fruits now?
Lu Yu put it away without hesitation.
This time, he really didn’t come for nothing.
He wasn’t planning to take out whatever he had in his hand.
All of these things were of immense value to him.
“Golden Stone Ocean, you actually collected so much?” Lu Yu found more than ten clusters of Golden Stone Ocean inside a special box.
Each cluster of the golden stone ocean weighs nearly ten thousand jin, and they have been sealed into special spaces; otherwise, just these ten or so clusters of golden stone ocean would have collapsed this space already.
He took out the star crystals and the fire liquid as well.
He currently had twenty drops of golden liquid, ten star crystals, and ten drops of fiery liquid in his possession.
After getting these items, he had merely opened one of the 500 boxes, while the other 500 boxes remained completely unopened.
Lu Yu opened them one by one and examined them carefully.
He disregarded the passage of time, his entire focus fixed on these boxes.
“A key to the Ninth Level Unified Magic Field? You actually managed to collect something like this?”
“This is… is this King Zun’s heart? There’s still one more here. Why aren’t you using it?”
The old man said, “It’s not that it can’t be used, but the restrictions of this heart are far beyond anyone’s current capabilities. I’m afraid no one in this world will ever be able to meet them.”
Lu Yu picked up Wang Zun’s heart and examined it carefully, then inhaled sharply with a chill.
“This is indeed King Zun’s heart, yet its use comes with such limitations. This is the restriction of the Dual King天赋.”
Lu Yu’s hand tightened, nearly crushing the heart he was holding into pieces.
The old man saw Lu Yu’s movement clearly and was shaken as he said, “We’ve investigated the Dual Kings’天赋, and no one in this world has ever known about it—not even the Kings themselves understand what kind of ability this is. It’s as if this power simply doesn’t exist at all.”
Dual King’s Gift, Dual King’s Gift.
This is indeed Wang Zun’s heart, and it’s even the heart left behind after the King Without a Crown passed away.
He thought his dual king talent was something no one else possessed.
Looking back now, I realize I was far too arrogant in the past.
It had already been owned by someone before.
Lu Yu’s heart raced as well.
The old man was shocked again in his heart.
Lu Yu wouldn’t take something that wasn’t useful to him. If he took it, what did that mean?
Could it be that Lu Yu possesses the talent of dual kings?
Lu Yu should be the uncrowned king. Then, what exactly is this “King’s Gift”?
Could it be that, besides the “King Without a Crown,” there is another equally powerful talent within Lu Yu’s body?
The old man had too many questions.
“Ironclad Dragon Soul, this is an excellent primary material for crafting star artifacts. You actually have five of them.”
“Haha, this is really a treasure trove,” Lu Yu said, picking up a small bottle. “Amazing stuff—this is actually Golden Beast Blood. Wait, this is the Golden Beast Blood from the Ten Thousand Honored Ones. Ten drops—actually ten drops!”
Lu Yu is now continuously using Golden Beast Blood to temper his body, but he has never obtained the blood of a Golden Beast with a power level of ten thousand zuns.
A single drop of such blood is sufficient to instantly enhance the potential development of a teenager born after the apocalypse by eighty-five percent.
Ten drops of such Golden Beast Blood are treasures that rival the primary materials of stellar artifacts.
Lu Yu continued to look through the items one by one, and there were many things he did not want.
However, anything he picks up is certainly a top-grade item, ranking among the best within this treasure trove.
The old man started taking notes from behind, and his hands began to tremble.
It’s not just about the reason why Lu Yu took things away.
Actually, he was even more astonished by Lu Yu’s knowledge.
Lu Yu recognized every single item here; such an extensive knowledge should not be possessed by a person in modern times.
Even a king couldn’t possibly recognize so many things.
The old man’s mind raced with thoughts, and soon he arrived at an explanation—that Lu Yu possessed the memories of multiple digital kings from different eras, making such a possibility feasible.
How could the king teach him so much knowledge, or how did he actually acquire all this knowledge?
Even if Lu Yu were the resurrected king, would the king willingly hand over everything to him?
They only know the names and a small part of the effects of some of the items here.
In Lu Yu’s eyes, the effects and names of them were understood with utmost clarity.
After obtaining the Golden Beast Blood, Lu Yu never took anything else from the stone pillar.
He walked to the huge crystal cabinets behind the stone pillars. With just a glance, he fixed his gaze on one of the cabinets and, startled, turned back to look at the old man, saying, “You’re sure I can take anything here that I want?”
“Since you have set your sights on it, you may take it. But the price, I believe you already understand.”
“Haha, that’s great. I only need the item in this crystal case; I don’t need the rest,” Lu Yu said with a big smile, striding toward the crystal case.
