Beside her, Liu Chengyan discovered a stone tablet in the grand hall. She gently brushed away the dust, revealing an inscription in seal script, which appeared very mysterious.
She excitedly said, "Lord Shen, quickly look here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qing turned around and dismounted from the Alchemy Furnace.
Unconsciously quickening his pace, he walked over to Liu Chengyan’s side.
The moment his gaze landed on the mottled inscription, he was stunned.
He was familiar with these characters.
Quickly gathering his thoughts, he examined it carefully, discovering that it was a secret method for refining elixirs.
Shen Qing said truthfully, "This is a piece of Alchemy, a foundational Magic Skill for refining medicine."
Liu Chengyan said, "This secret method doesn’t seem that profound, otherwise it wouldn’t be placed openly in the main hall for people to read."
Shen Qing nodded in agreement, "However, this secret method is not entirely useless; at least it benefits the strengthening of the Primordial Spirit."
Without any hesitation, Shen Qing’s eyes became focused, carefully pondering the True Intent within.
After an unknown amount of time, he glanced at the text appearing on the Water Ink Panel, confirming he had grasped this secret method, and finally felt a bit at ease.
Shen Qing and Liu Chengyan searched around the grand hall for a while, but after confirming there were no findings, they didn’t waste any more time there and continued deeper into the treasure trove.
The treasury was silent.
Shen Qing and Liu Chengyan walked side by side, heading towards the depths of the treasury, the surrounding so quiet that only their heartbeats and breaths could be heard.
Looking at the swath of buildings before them, they felt inexplicably eerie.
The two of them moved forward swiftly, the houses on either side falling behind continuously.
In the distance, at the core position, they saw a massive building extending ahead, heading towards that core land.
Just then, in this unexplored mysterious area, a sudden and piercing scream abruptly shattered the silence, causing Shen Qing and Liu Chengyan to halt their steps.
"Sounds like someone else’s voice, should we take a look?" Liu Chengyan frowned and asked.
Shen Qing looked in the direction of the sound, glanced once, then replied, "No need, let’s move away from here."

He had only briefly met those Saint Heirs, with no affections attached.
He did not want to involve himself and put himself in danger.
Liu Chengyan thought of Shen Qing’s initial request, and despite feeling uneasy, she said no more, following Shen Qing as they moved ahead.
However, they had not walked far before a heavy scent of blood assailed them.
Not far away, a Saint Heir was already lying in a pool of blood, only a terror-stricken head remaining.
This scene made Liu Chengyan’s heart tighten, realizing the lurking danger here, full of ominous signs.
Just as she was trying to retreat, a figure, no, more accurately, a grotesque non-human creature akin to a demon, leapt out from the shadows.
Its mouth a deep abyss, it lunged fiercely toward Shen Qing and Liu Chengyan, intending to devour their essence.
Shen Qing, already tense, saw this and did not panic; he soared into the sky controlling the Rainbow Light, already pulling out a treasure bow.
Swish!
A sharp sword light descended from the heavens, landing squarely on the non-human creature.
A squelching sound.
The strange creature was immediately severed into two parts.
Liu Chengyan was so frightened her face turned pale, her heart pounding wildly, almost thinking she might perish.
Shen Qing landed steadily on the ground, gazing at the inhuman monster before him, a look of puzzlement on his face.
For some reason, he sensed a hint of demon aura and human smell from this monster.
Shen Qing was puzzled but did not delve deeply for long.
"Let’s go inside and see." Shen Qing said calmly.
This time he learned a lesson, choosing to travel with the wind, staying away from the buildings, simultaneously spreading his Divine Sense, continually observing the conditions inside the various structures, seeking overlooked opportunities.
Along the way, he found some of the building doors already open, with empty coffins inside and scattered crystals.
The life or corpses hidden inside had disappeared.
Shen Qing raised an eyebrow, pondering the reason behind this.
After about a tea’s time, the two arrived at the core of the treasure trove.
Without solving anything, Shen Qing ceased his pondering, slowing his steps, hovering in the void.
Shen Qing looked down, his gaze landing on the grand bronze palace slumbering underground.
The bronze palace, dazzling with golden light, shone brightly; even after thousands of years, its luster was unblemished, seemingly immortal.
"We should be there." Shen Qing gently turned his head, saying to Liu Chengyan beside him.
Liu Chengyan’s beautiful eyes moved slightly, shocked by the sight before her, her voice trembling, "Is this... the heritage of the Tai Xuan Sect?"
Shen Qing still replied flatly, "It should be. This treasury is large, but not endless. This place is at the core of the treasury, and if the Tai Xuan Sect left heritage, it would be only here."
"What the elders want us to get should all be inside this grand hall."
Saying that, Shen Qing took out his treasure bow from his bosom, drawing it to a full moon.
He raised the treasure bow high, aiming at the palace door.

With the surge of True Yuan within him, the glow on the treasure bow became even more dazzling.
A brilliant beam of light suddenly appeared, like an invisible hand, pushing across, hitting the palace gate with precision.
