"A treasure pavilion? The Flowing Cloud Sect is indeed quite ostentatious, openly displaying its treasures here."
Lu Qing looked up at the tall tower and murmured to himself.
Of course, he also knew that although this place was called a treasure pavilion, it probably only contained ordinary treasures.
Given the selfish and self-serving nature of those two Supreme Elders of the Flowing Cloud Sect, it's unlikely they would place the real treasures here.
But since we're already here, there's no harm in going in and taking a look.
After using his supernatural abilities to investigate and confirm that there was no danger inside, Lu Qing took out a long sword from his Qiankun Qi Bag, casually chopped down the door with a few strokes, and then went inside.
The treasure vault is divided into four levels. Lu Qing scanned the first level and found that it contained mostly ordinary items, the vast majority of which displayed a white light, with a few red items mixed in, but those were rather faint.
The items on the first floor might be good for ordinary martial artists, but Lu Qing's standards have risen considerably, and he no longer values these things.
So he just picked a few things that looked pleasing to the eye and put them into his Qiankun Qi Bag, ignoring the rest, and went to the second floor.
The items on the second floor are clearly more valuable, with red-glowing items making up almost half of the total.
This time, Lu Qing didn't stand on ceremony and directly put all the red-glowing items into his Qiankun Yiqi Bag.
On the third floor, not only were there more red-glowing items, which made up the vast majority, but there were also a few items that shimmered with a faint golden light.
Lu Qing was overjoyed and immediately took them all.
"As expected of a major sect, their collection is indeed quite extensive."
After collecting the treasures from the third floor, Lu Qing looked towards the fourth floor with anticipation in his eyes.
Golden items have already appeared on the third floor, so what treasures will be on this final floor?
Could it be that he'll have another stroke of luck this time and acquire another purple treasure?
With anticipation in his heart, Lu Qing entered the fourth floor of the treasure pavilion.
This floor is also the last floor of this treasure pavilion.
This layer of protection was very tight, with a heavy iron gate blocking the entrance, but this did not pose a problem for Lu Qing.
The long sword in his hand was incredibly sharp; with just a few casual slashes, he cleaved the iron gate to pieces.
He then kicked the door open and went inside.
This fourth floor is the top of the treasure pavilion, so the space is not large and there are not many things stored inside.
But good things are always valued for their quality, not quantity.
Standing on the fourth floor, Lu Qing looked at the dozen or so items displayed on the shelf in front of him, and his breathing became slightly heavier.
Golden light emanated from everything in front of him, radiating a golden, supernatural light.
Several kinds of golden light shone, and they were so intense that they almost solidified.
He even faintly saw a barely perceptible purple light on one of them.
"As expected of a major sect with a history of nearly a thousand years, its foundation is truly profound."
Lu Qing let out a soft breath and couldn't help but sigh.
He stepped forward and immediately focused his gaze on the item that shimmered with a faint purple hue amidst the rich golden light.
It was a fist-sized piece of white iron ore, with a thin layer of frost on its surface.
As Lu Qing focused his attention, several notes soon floated out.
【Nine Nether Cold Iron: A strange iron ore born from the deep sea in the far north, containing Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid.】
【Nine Nether Cold Iron is one of the best materials for forging ice-type magic swords, and is extremely rare.】
【Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid, born from the deepest depths of the northern sea, is formed by the compression and condensation of the purest cold and malevolent energy from billions of tons of seawater over countless years.】
【Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid is the best aid for cultivators of both ice and water elements.】
...
"It's actually Netherworld Cold Iron, and Netherworld Ice Spirit Liquid!"
After reading the messages on the notes, Lu Qing's eyes lit up with surprise.
Both of these items are recorded in the Li Huo Sect's heritage as rare and superior materials for refining weapons.
In particular, the Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid is extremely useful for cultivators of both ice and water elements.
“I’ve never been sure about Xiaoyan’s path of cultivation, but with this Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid, things will be much easier.”
Lu Qing was overjoyed.
After Xiaoyan consumed the Earth Vein Elixir, she unexpectedly activated her talent for Ice Skin and Jade Bones, giving her a unique advantage in the cultivation of the Way of Ice and Water.
He had never fully decided on Xiaoyan's path of cultivation.
But now there's no need to worry anymore. With this Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid, he instantly had several plans in mind.
Reaching out to pick up the Nine Nether Cold Iron, a wisp of frost immediately appeared on Lu Qing's hand and quickly spread along his wrist. The bone-chilling coldness was so intense that his body could barely withstand it.
"As expected of an extremely cold substance, it can still emit such terrifying cold air even with such restraint."
With a thought, Lu Qing felt the Earth Spirit Pearl in his brow acupoint tremble slightly, instantly dispelling the chill.
But I couldn't help feeling amazed.
According to the records of the Li Huo Sect, the material of this Nine Nether Cold Iron is extremely unique, with most of its coldness contained and contained within its interior.
Unless it is deliberately guided, the chill inside it will almost never dissipate on its own.
Lu Qing didn't guide her at all; she only touched it slightly, yet she felt the coldness so intensely.
It's easy to imagine just how astonishing the chill it contains is.
But strangely enough, the temperature inside the fourth level of the treasure pavilion did not change much, which was truly miraculous.
Unfortunately, the Flowing Cloud Sect probably doesn't know how to utilize this extraordinary treasure.
Otherwise, if this Netherworld Cold Iron could be forged into a magic sword, it would be far more powerful than that tattered Blood Soul Banner.
After admiring it for a while, Lu Qing put the Nine Nether Cold Iron into his Qiankun Qi Bag and looked at the other items.
His gaze fell on another item that gleamed with gold.
They were a pair of short-handled heavy hammers, with handles about half a meter long and hammerheads the size of pumpkins. They were dark and deep, as if they could draw one's gaze into them.
【Black Gold Heavy Hammer: A divine weapon forged from black gold, a type of exotic iron.】
【Heavy in weight, each hammer weighs over a thousand pounds; only those with superhuman strength can wield it.】
【Forged by the master blacksmith, Ou Yegu.】
...
Good heavens!
When Lu Qing saw the notes clearly, he couldn't help but be startled.
Unexpectedly, these dark-colored hammers were actually made of the legendary black gold.
It is well known that black gold has always been precious; there is a saying that there are ten taels of gold for every tael of black gold.
This means that one tael of black gold is worth ten taels of gold.
Each of these short hammers weighs 1,000 jin (500 kg), so they weigh 2,000 jin (1,000 kg) in total.
If converted to gold, that's 20,000 jin (10,000 kg) of gold.
Using these weapons is like wielding two mountains of gold to smash people.
Of course, Lu Qing wasn't particularly interested in gold and silver.
What caught his attention was that these black gold hammers were actually divine-grade heavy hammers.
He was somewhat relieved that Mo Zhen hadn't brought the double hammers with him earlier.
Otherwise, with the power contained in Mo Zhen's Blood Demon body, plus these two heavy hammers...
If Lu Qing wants to deal with him, he'll probably have to go through some more trouble.
"Good stuff, I'll take it too."
Lu Qing took off the pair of black gold hammers, weighed them in his hands a few times, and surprisingly found them quite comfortable to handle. Satisfied, he put them into his Qiankun Qi Bag.
Then, he turned his attention to other items.
