'Luminiscent flame stone'
'Aqua stone from western seas'
'Earthroot crystal'
'Galewind feather'
'Heart of purewood Oak tree', Zhan Chen gathered treasures representing all five heavenly elements. He spread his soul consciousness and looked for the treasures with yang property after gathering the treasures of five elements.
'Radiant sunstone! Crimson dragon scale! It was slightly unbelievable to think that I would get such valuable treasures easily', Zhan Chen thought to himself. There was a slightly excited look on his face as he took away all the twelve radiant sunstones and the large piece of Crimson dragon scale.
'Well, I have acheived my goals. Let's look for some yin treasures before leaving this secret cave', Zhan Chen thought to himself. Liu Hua was accompanying him silently as she took note of each and every treasures stored inside the secret cave.
'Yinwater crystal'
'Lunar essence pearl'
'Yinbound frost flower'
'Starlit fountain water', Zhan Chen was slightly surprised after seeing all kinds of pure yin treasures. Compared to yang treasures, yin treasures were plenty in the hidden cave of the Xuantian sect. Zhan Chen didn't act politely after discovering all the treasures. He removed a significant portion of pure yin treasures before looking towards Liu Hua.
Do you want any other treasures?", he asked her gently. Liu Hua shook her head with a smile on her face.
"We have already taken more than enough. These treasures are the lifetime collection of our Xuantian sect. We should act responsibly after getting such a rare chance", Liu Hua spoke. She was not a greedy woman as she spoke with responsibility and care towards the Xuantian sect.
"Okay, let's not take anymore treasures", Zhan Chen nodded his head. He had already collected pure yang treasures and pure yin treasures. Other treasures were great but they couldn't help him increase his cultivation. He decided to leave the secret cave and walked towards the spatial passage. His hand was wrapped around the waist of Liu Hua as he entered the spatial passage.
One of the guardian elders checked the content of the spatial ring which Zhan Chen was carrying. "So many treasures with pure yang and pure yin attributes! Is it necessary to take this much?", the elder looked towards Zhan Chen.
Ancestor, it is indeed a necessity. As you know, it is a standard practice to offer an alchemist three portions of raw materials to concoct a pill. We do not know what that expert holding the Five harmony soul resurgence pill would demand. So, I am taking the yang trasures and yin treasures with me. I have heard that he is collecting such treasures since hundred years or two hundred years back", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a look of confidence on his face as he looked towards the guardian elder.
"Brother Ming, let them go. We will discuss about the cost once Bing Yue comes back", another guardian elder spoke. Zhan Chen and Liu Hua bowed towards the three guardian elders before leaving the third floor. Liu Hua exhaled slowly after escaping the barrier between the third floor and the second floor.
"I was really nervous. To think that, such ancient experts are guarding the treasure hall....", Liu Hua commented. She was finally feeling slightly relaxed after leaving the third floor.
"It is only natural. Spiritual treasures are the backbone of a sect. Together with medicinal pills, they build the core of a sect. So, it is expected that there will be enough security. The Xuantian sect is one among the most formidable powers of the Northern desert continent. So, we shouldn't be surprised after seeing few of their half step sages in the third floor", Zhan Chen spoke. He was not at all surprised after seeing the three guardian elders in the third floor of the treasure hall.
"What? Half step sages!", Liu Hua gulped in surprise. Such experts were figures of legends for her. She was a Heavenly tribulation realm expert herself but she knew what was the gap between the tribulation realm and the emperor realm. As for the sage realm, that was only a dream for her at this moment.
"Don't be so surprised. Your man will surpass all of these experts one day. Even you will become a sage eventually as none of my women will stay a weakling for their entire life", Zhan Chen spoke.
Liu Hua felt dazed for a moment after seeing the heroic expression on Zhan Chen's face. Zhan Chen seemed like blabbering nonsence but for some reason, Liu Hua felt that he was speaking the truth. There was a beleif in her heart that her man could acheive anything.
"Zhan Chen, can I accompany you wherever you are going?", she asked Zhan Chen after few moments. She was dutybound to stay in the treasure hall but she felt an strong urge to accompany Zhan Chen for a while.
"Beauty, how can I deny your request? You are welcome to follow me as long as you wish", Zhan Chen spoke. He felt a strong urge in his heart after seeing the desire and longing in Liu Hua's eyes.
Liu Hua assigned the treasure hall to her subordinates and left with Zhan Chen. She wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen's hand after they left the treasure hall..
"Are you not afraid that disciples will see?", Zhan Chen asked. He was slightly amused and surprised after seeing the boldness of Liu Hua today.
"I don't care anymore. I have decided to speak with my master after she gets back", Liu Hua spoke. She wrapped her hand more tightly after finishing her words. Zhan Chen could feel her longing and deep emotion for him as she strongly wrapped her hand around his hands.
"Is a gift capable of such miracle? A strong and collected woman like her actually feels this much about me?", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He rushed towards his cave as Liu Hua latched to his arm.
"Zhan Chen, are not you going to bring the Five harmony soul resurgence pill?", Liu Hua asked softly. She was not a fool by any means. So, she easily guessed what Zhan Chen was upto after seeing his heated gaze.
"There is no point in lying to you. Actually, I am not going to collect the Five harmony soul resurgence pill from anyone", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Then, what are you upto?", Liu His exclaimed. A worried expression appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She knew how important the pill was for the Xuantian sect. If Zhan Chen messed up, it would imply the death of peak master of the Martial peak. That would be a disaster for the Xuantian sect.
"Beauty, you will not believe me. But let me state this once. I will concoct the Five harmony soul resurgence pill myself", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Are you serious?", Liu Hua asked. No matter how much she wanted to beleive Zhan Chen, it was unthinkable for her to assume that an eighteen year old boy could concoct an ancient seventh grade pill.
Concocting a seventh grade pill was no joke. Such a feat was impossible for most of the sects in the Northern desert continent. There was only valley master of the Pill valley who was able to concoct a seventh grade pill. Whoever could concoct such a pill, would be revered as an Alchemy emperor. So, it was only natural for Liu Hua to feel disbelief in her heart after she heard Zhan Chen's words. Zhan Chen didn't explain her anything but straightaway led her into his personal cave.
