Chapter 563: No Good Stuff
“That brick… what is he doing?”
Seeing Su Jingzhen stick the black brick directly onto the stone monument, Feng Qingya’s eyebrows suddenly raised.
She had a deep impression of this brick.
Even though it had once displayed tremendous power in Su Jingzhen’s hands, she hadn’t thought much about it.
After all, for most cultivators, as long as the person is strong, even a wooden stick can be powerful.
But now, at this moment, Su Jingzhen took out the black brick.
This made Feng Qingya curious.
“Could it have other uses that he has discovered?”
Feng Qingya muttered to herself, and the eyes of the five women were fixed on Su Jingzhen.
They had seen Su Jingzhen’s martial arts skills and believed that he could open the Tuoba Family vault.They were just curious as to what method he would use to do so.
As soon as Su Jingzhen stuck the black brick onto the stone monument, the Dao Rhythm on it began to rapidly flow out.
In less than three breaths, all the spirit patterns on the stone monument suddenly faded.
Then, the gravitational pressure that had been spreading for three zhang completely disappeared.
That thing, which might have been a pretty good artifact before, had now become ordinary.
“Didn’t you notice? All the Dao rhythms on this stone monument have disappeared.”
The expressions on the faces of the five women were all shocked.
Bai Susu was astonished.
“It seemed to be because of the black brick in his hand.
The pressure from the stone monument earlier was so strong that we felt uncomfortable and couldn’t stay there for long.
But he easily dispelled its power. What other secrets does he have?”
At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu and the others were also filled with confusion.
Only Luo Yuebai was calmer.
After all, she had already seen Su Jingzhen absorb an entire spirit vein with the black brick at Clear Wind Mountain.
Feeling that the gravity was gone, they all unconsciously approached the stone monument again.
By that time, Su Jingzhen had already put the black brick away.
In the Pure Land of Extreme Bliss, in the cave’s spirit spring, Little Green’s second leaf had gained another pattern.
It was quite dark, but its Dao rhythm was exactly the same as the one on the stone monument.
Heavy and ancient.
At the same time, the ancestral turtle of the Tortoise Sect that was still condensed in the cave had another pattern slowly growing on its back.
Although it was still incomplete, it was more perfect than before.
Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with joy.
He became even more eager for the contents of the vault.
If there were some divine artifacts with Dao Rhythm inside, he would soon be able to obtain the perfect version of the Immovable Tortoise Seal.
At the same time, Little Green’s second leaf shook again.
A wave of energy directly affected Su Jingzhen.
Su Jingzhen immediately understood the meaning; Little Green was expressing its appreciation to him.
“As I said, I will do my best to help you grow and return you to your peak state.”
…
While his consciousness continued to talk to Little Green, Su Jingzhen looked at Feng Qingya and the other women.
“The energy on this has been dispelled by me.
Now, the Tuoba Family vault should be easily accessible, right?”
His words had just fallen when a few lines of golden characters appeared in front of him.
【Emotional Connection+15】
【Emotional Connection+15】
【Emotional Connection+12】
【Remaining Points: 1555】
The extra points didn’t surprise Su Jingzhen.
However, it didn’t cause a chain reaction, which made him slightly disappointed.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen’s words had just fallen.
Everyone heard a loud sound.
The stone monument in front of them suddenly cracked.
The cracks on the stone monument grew larger and larger, and then it collapsed with a loud crash.
With the Dao Rhythm gone, the energy it possessed was also lost.
Then, the passage it was guarding was revealed.
Su Jingzhen and the others saw a hole more than a zhang wide.
There were also stairs leading down.
On both sides of the stairs, long burning lamps were flickering.
It looked somewhat eerie.
“Is this really the treasury of the Tuoba family? Why does it look strange?”
Luo Yuebai raised her eyebrows and said.
“As a family of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, although I haven’t been here before, just like our Feng family’s treasure, the Tuoba family’s stone monument vault is quite famous.
Most of their treasures should be stored here.
However, some important figures of the Tuoba Family, such as Tuoba Junlin, must have escaped, and he might have taken a lot of things with him.”
As she spoke, Feng Qingya’s face showed a hint of regret.
Then, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and directly led the five women down the opened stairs.
With Bai Suzhen at his waist, he had nothing to fear.
As they went down, Su Jingzhen could feel the spiritual energy getting older and more concentrated.
His eyebrows furrowed again.
“Could it be that underneath this stone monument vault is the spiritual vein occupied by the Tuoba family?”
He muttered to himself, feeling a bit conflicted.
The location of the Tuoba family was right in the center of the Holy City.
Their alliance would inevitably develop in the Sacred City.
If he absorbed all the spiritual veins in the Holy City, the spiritual energy would become extremely thin.
Even with countless layers of gathering fields, it might never return to its former state.
“Forget it, I’ll leave one for them.
Even though this place is already a barren region in the cultivation world, we can’t use up all the resources.”
Su Jingzhen had already made up his mind.
If it was the enemy’s stronghold, he would take it without hesitation.
After all, his people wouldn’t develop in those places.
But the Holy City was different.
While Su Jingzhen was thinking, he had already led everyone to the first floor of the vault.
Here, countless basic materials needed by cultivators were neatly arranged.
Various low-grade herbs, low-grade artifacts, and various ores stretched endlessly.
However, these things were of no use to them.
They just looked at them and continued down the stairs to the lower levels.
“It is said that the Tuoba family’s stone monument vault has a total of nine floors.
The deeper you go, the more valuable the treasures are.”
Feng Qingya said again, still excited.
With anticipation, the six of them quickly passed through the first four floors.
They were all ordinary materials.
They held no attraction for them.
Up to the fifth floor, the space was still vast.
The items were much fewer.
And they were mostly in the form of light balls floating in the air.
Obviously, each of these items had considerable energy.
Each of them could be considered a treasure for ordinary cultivators.
Luo Yuebai casually picked up a light ball, opened it, and found a flying sword of a decent quality.
“This quality is suitable for the Foundation Establishment stage, but it’s still useless for us.”
After looking at it, Luo Yuebai threw it back into the air, turning it back into a light ball.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen smiled again, “Since we’re here and we’re the first to enter this Stone Monument Vault, we should see what the best things look like.
If there is anything you like, you can take it without hesitation.”
With that, he led the five women further into the vault.
Personally, he didn’t care about the other items, whether they were cultivation techniques, precious herbs, or divine weapons.
He only hoped that the lower levels would contain divine artifacts containing Dao Rhythm.
However, to their disappointment, even on the sixth floor, there were still thousands of balls of light floating in the air.
The seventh floor was completely empty.
The eighth and ninth floors were the same, with nothing left.
“The good stuff here has indeed been taken away by Tuoba Junlin.”
Su Jingzhen sighed. He had expected this situation, but seeing it for real still disappointed him.
And none of the items below contained Dao Rhythm.
Luo Yuebai also smiled, “There is nothing to be disappointed about.
This was expected. Let’s go. The stuff on the sixth floor isn’t much use to us either. Let’s leave them as resources for our alliance.
These things can serve as our foundation.”
The five women behind Su Jingzhen were not ordinary people, and of course, they didn’t care about the other items.
For them, this trip was just for the experience, and it turned out to be in vain.
Su Jingzhen looked at the rising spiritual energy on the ninth floor.
He knew that the Spiritual Vein was below.
But he didn’t dwell on it.
He directly led the group back the way they had come.
With this matter settled, after one more trip to the Evil Moon Sect’s headquarters, there would be nothing left to worry about in Qingzhou.
However, as Su Jingzhen and the others returned to the upper floors of the vault, a black warship broke through the space above the Holy City.
It hung in the sky.
