Chapter 417: Chapter 235: Five-Storey Pagoda, The Wonderful Use of Incense Power_1
[The young monster didn’t hesitate and adamantly refused your rescue and the persuasion from other monsters.]
[Just when you are feeling upset, it reveals something else to you...]
[There is actually another way to save them!]
[Among the surviving ’Glide Gourd Tribe,’ it’s not only him, but also his grandfather.]
[His grandpa has great strength; he is the leader of the Sly Ghost clan.]
[If you, as the God offspring, can find his grandpa, it would be easy to rescue them all.]
[You can’t help but ask about the whereabouts of his grandpa now?]
[The ’young Glide Gourd tracing its origin’ chuckled awkwardly and confessed that his grandpa is currently suppressed in the ’Wuzhi Shrine.’ If you could rescue his grandpa at the ’Wuzhi Shrine,’ it would be equivalent to saving them, the little monsters.]
Lin Xun’s face was filled with confusion.
What kind of Russian Doll story is this?
He had a faint premonition that there was a connection between Dharma Temple and the ’Wuzhi Shrine’.
But he didn’t expect such a strategy: first saving the grandfather, then the grandson?
Joining the side of the weak oath camp indeed adds much difficulty to the game.
[The young monster also admits that his requirement is a bit unreasonable. He quickly opens his mouth, takes out a multicolored scale from under his tongue.]
[He hands you this saliva-covered scale.]
[You have obtained the ’Rainbow Scale of the Mirage Dragon’ (item)!]
[The young monster explains that the five-tiered pagoda behind the Golden Hall is a cultivation treasure of the Glide Gourd Tribe.]
[However, new believers in gods do not understand its mystery, only considering the pagoda as a place to collect scriptures.]
[You can ascend the top of the five-tiered pagoda to use this scale and quickly cultivate the power of the Dragon Seed.]
Lin Xun raised an eyebrow and opened the item bar to check it.
[’Rainbow Scale of the Mirage Dragon’ (item): A dragon scale imbued with a bit of mirage energy, the rainbow colors on its surface are the result of this energy.]
[By using the item at a specific location, the remaining mirage energy in the scale will evaporate and you can cultivate within the mirage energy to increase the ’Fallen Dragon Seed’s’ layers. Current number of remaining uses: 3/3]
[The ’young Glide Gourd tracing its origin’ continues to explain; originally when the mirage energy in the ’Rainbow Scale of the Mirage Dragon’ was used up, if it was offered to the statue of ’Chaos Origin Dragon’ along with burning incense, the mirage energy within it could be restored.]
[However, this kind of divine grace ceased to reveal itself after the defeat of the Dragon God. Now, once the mirage energy in the scale is used up, it cannot be restored...]
"What a pity, if only this thing wasn’t consumable..."
Lin Xun sighed a little, although the pre-reward for the rescue mission was acceptable, he still didn’t know what reward he would receive for successfully rescuing the grandfather of the Glide Gourd.
[You accepted the scale, promised to definitely explore the ’Wuzhi Shrine.’ As for whether you can rescue his grandpa, you can only do your best.]
[Under the hopeful gaze of the little monsters, you waved goodbye to them and left the Golden Hall...]
[You walked around the Golden Hall, right behind the main hall there is a five-tiered pagoda.]
[The five-tiered tower is the product of Sakura fall mimicking the architecture of the Vermilion Empire, shifting from the original sturdy and majestic style to Sakura fall’s native delicate and beautiful style.]
[Therefore, the five-tiered pagoda is not that tall; the five-storey tall pagoda is only slightly taller than the Golden Hall.]
[You stride over to the front of the pagoda; sure enough, at the entrance to the base of the pagoda there is still a warning sign.]
[The warning on it roughly means not to read the scriptures stored in the tower, to avoid being bewitched by ’the evil demon god’s’ deceptive words, violators will be severely punished...]
[You pass the warning sign, push open the door at the base of the pagoda, and enter...]
[The first layer of the pagoda is surrounded by bookshelves with numerous hidden books. However, instead of the ink aroma you imagined, there is an odor of decayed books.]
[The first layer is called the ’Dragon Storage Level’, you hastily skimming through the scriptures and find ’Dragon Gate Scripture’, ’Scripture of Dragon’s Original Aspiration’, ’True Theory of Dragon Splendor’, ’Infinite Lifespan Scriptures Told by the Dragon’, and so on.]
[Do you want to search in them for a while?]
Lin Xun’s eyes gleamed as it was time for treasure hunting.
He quickly pressed ’Yes’.
[Searching...]
[You discover a thin bookmark hidden in the gap between the shelves.]
[You have obtained ’Invasion Bookmark’*1]
[Searching...]
[...]
[You discover a roll of valuable ancient painting at the top of the bookshelf.]
[You have obtained the ’Painting of Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl’ (junk goods)!]
[Searching...]
[...]
[You find a book of demon art secret technique at the bottom of the bookshelf.]
[You have obtained the ’Demon Art· Art of Transformation’ (Excellent+ Level)!]
[Searching...]
[...]
[You no longer find anything of value.]
Lin Xun opened the item bar to check.
He was so familiar with the Invasion Bookmark that he instantly overlooked it.
He was also going to ignore the newly acquired junk good ’Painting of Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl’, but he suddenly discovered that this item isn’t junk at all.
[’Painting of Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl’ (junk goods): An antique ink painting, depicting the scene of two real dragons playing with a pearl. By selling this item to a pawnshop merchant, you will gain some spirituality.]
"Tsk, I haven’t been to the ’Fish Sale Market’ for a while, I wonder if the goods in the pawnshop there have been updated."
[’Demon Art· Art of Transformation’ (Excellent+ Level): The Art of Transformation is both the simplest and most difficult technique in demon arts. Since entry is extremely simple, it is a compulsory technique for every monster. However, it is also extremely difficult to master, and apart from monsters whose true forms greatly resemble humans, very few monsters can completely transform their foreign appearance into a human one.]
