Chapter 240 239: Veinweaver's Dreamgrass
Hearing Divine's shameless words, Corey just shook his head and looked around for a few seconds before he walked to where he could smell a high concentration of herbal scents.
lightsnοvεl.cοm Due to him being a poison cultivator, he was familiar with the smell of a lot of plants, and with this, he was able to know where the plants were placed in the treasury.
Although, there were countless treasures in the treasury that emitted an aura that sent shivers down Corey's spine, getting a herb that could heal his damaged mana veins was his main priority for joining Divine on the heist.
As Corey walked to the herbs, he could not help but remember a crucial information Divine gave him regarding the treasury.
After Divine left Corey to pick his treasures, the veil that was covering Corey disappeared. But, Corey and Divine were not worried at all.
Why?
Because there was no surveillance in the treasury.
When Divine told him this, he was surprised and he could not help but ask why?
According to Divine, the native owners of the treasury did not want there to be any surveillance to be in the treasury.
As for the reason, Divine said, it was because they wanted some privacy when choosing their treasures.
Although, it was a good enough reason. Corey could not help but shake his head in disappointment.
If the leaders wanted some privacy, all they had to was tell the manager or whoever was in charge of the surveillance to deactivate the surveillance whenever they wanted to choose their treasures.
Although, Corey had this thought. Who was he to complain on the incompetence of the owners.
After walking for some seconds, Corey got to the location of the herbs. The herbs were placed in glass containers which were placed on shelves. As he looked at the countless herbs, his eyes widened in surprise as he noticed some herbs that were said to be rare due to the conditions needed for their growth.
'Draconic Emberloom. Starshimmer Orchid. Unicorn's Tearleaf. Eldertree Moondust. Astral Eclipseberry.'
Corey's eyes widened as he named some rare herbs which were immensely useful for poison cultivators like him and alchemists.
He looked at the herbs with desire, but he shook his head and looked for any herb that could cure his mana veins.
If he didn't find, he could always come back for the herbs.
'Please.'
'Please.'
'Please.'
'Please.'
Corey kept on walking, and his heart kept on pounding in anticipation and fear.
Some seconds passed and just when Corey was about to reach the end of the shelves, he stopped, and with trembling hands, he looked at a particular herb.
'Veinweaver's Dreamgrass!.'
Corey exclaimed internally as he looked at a rare and enchanting herb with a unique appearance.
The herb had long, slender, and sinuous emerald-green leaves which shimmered with a subtle iridescence, resembling delicate threads of woven silk. At its heart, the Dreamgrass produces small, star-shaped blossoms in various shades of blue and violet. These blooms emitted a faint, ethereal glow, especially during moonlit nights, casting a soft, otherwordly radiance.
The most remarkable feature of the herb was its translucent roots that appeared to be crystalline. The roots oulsed with a gentle, soothing rhythim, as if in harmony with the mana flow of the world.
[You're lucky.]
Surprisingly, Nina commented on the appearance of the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass. Corey nodded, but gave no response.
He placed inside his breast pocket, then he brought out a card.
He moved the card close to the shelf, and a second later, the air in front of Corey shimmered before disappearing.
'I wonder how Divine got this.'
Although, the native owners of the Underworld did not want any surveillance in the treasury. They were not stupid enough to not place a formation that would alert the security personnel if an unauthorized person touched any of the treasures in the treasury.
The card was proof of authorization, and surprisingly, Divine had two.
He didn't know how Divine got two, but he didn't think too much about it and walked to the Dreamgrass.
'Nina, please.'
Corey thought, and a second later, Corey felt mana flowing throughout his body.
Before coming to the Emporium, Corey was concerned about something.
He didn't have a way to store whatever he stole from the Emporium.
To use his Tri-Pupil Eyes store objects, Corey needed to infuse mana into his eyes. But due to his damaged mana veins, Corey could not use his Tri-Pupil Eyes.
Corey could decide to use his inventory, but after listening to the Paragon Ancestor, he didn't want to keep anything from the treasury inside his inventory.
Who knows if the Supremes would take one of his stolen treasures.
The possibility of that happening was low, but Corey did not want to take any risk.
So, due to this, Corey asked Nina for help, and surprisingly, Nina decided to help him. Though, she told him that the reason for her helping him was due to the finger he took from the Desert of Mysteries.
She was curious about it, and the effects it would have on his body. And, because of her curiosity, she wanted Corey to heal his mana veins.
She could do it herself, but she didn't want to help Corey with that and a lot of things until he proved himself to her.
She wanted him to prove that he was worthy of the Paragon Ancestor's blood in his body.
And, he was far from proving himself.
Meanwhile, as Corey felt the mana flowing through his body, he noticed something different about the mana.
The mana felt… pure.
It felt clean of impurities.
This thought baffled Corey and he wondered if mana could ever be impure.
And what was impure mana?
Corey shook his head to rid himself of these distracting thoughts. He looked at the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass, and his pupils became a golden triangle, with his sclera becoming silver.
His eyes glowed, and a second later, the Dreamgrass disappeared.
Feeling the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass inside the storage space of his Tri-Pupil Eyes.
He looked at the remaining herbs on the shelve, and his glowed.
A few seconds later, every herb vanished and a line of blood poured out from Corey's eyes.
[You're too rash.]
Nina scolded.
'I don't want to waste time here.'
Corey replied calmly as he wiped the blood from his eyes. He checked the floor to make sure that his blood did not spill unto the floor.
Seeing that there was no blood, Corey exhaled softly, then he walked to another section of the treasury.
He would make sure to make good use of his current opportunity.
