Yuhuang Peak
The imperial palace of the Great Qin Empire is located in the northeast of Yujing City, at the foot of the towering Yuhuang Peak.
This is to facilitate mortal officials to go to court. Most of the palaces related to the practice and inheritance, such as the Sutra Pavilion, the Hall of Transmission, the Hall of Utensils, etc., are built deep in the mountains, in places rich in spiritual energy, and are equipped with various prohibition switches, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter and exit at will. .
The royal secret treasury, which has stored the wealth of the Qin Kingdom for two thousand years, is divided into four parts of the world. The most important one, the Tianzihao secret treasury, is hidden in a secret cave in the mountains.
After walking a hundred feet along the cave corridor, a huge artificially dug cave with a radius of 30 feet and a height of 100 feet suddenly appeared. The cave is made of sapphire as the floor, white stone as the pillars, purple gold as the eaves at the four corners, glazed tiles as the tiles, and a three-story pavilion and corridor. On the inside of the corridor on each floor, the red-lacquered door is tightly closed, with a black golden nanmu plaque hanging above it, marking the numbered purpose of each secret room, where elixirs, talismans, magical tools, spiritual herbs and other materials are stored in an orderly manner and clearly visible at a glance.
When Yang Zhen suddenly found herself here, she suddenly felt like she had returned to a large shopping mall in her previous life.
It was already midnight, and this "large shopping mall" was empty except for himself.
A small, palm-sized mirror was hidden in an inconspicuous corner on the first floor. The white metal side faced the entrance to the secret vault.
This afternoon, Yan Shijun secretly placed it there according to Yang Zhen's instructions.
The inspection of the secret treasury usually involves finding out what is found but not what is found out. It does not take Yan Langguan much effort to complete this matter.
He had some speculations in his mind that the eldest princess' move should be to record the coming and going of suspicious people in the secret warehouse at night, but he didn't know that Yang Zhen secretly infiltrated Chencang and had already hidden the small bluestone in this mirror made of purple snow.
It was now quiet at night, which was just the right time for him to move.
…
Yang Zhen held the small bluestone in her hand. Through the control of Yiyi, Qin Mingyue in the space seemed to see through a layer of light curtain, clearly seeing every move happening outside.
Needless to say, she felt terrified.
Under Qin Mingyue's guidance, Yang Zhen jumped to the second floor with a tap of her toes.
The treasury in the world of immortality naturally does not need those stairs in the mortal world.
He stopped in front of a secret room door with "Tian Fu Yi" written on the plaque.
In the darkness, the red lacquer door glowed slightly, which was the phenomenon of forbidden spiritual energy leaking out.
Qing Xiaoling came out of the space, and under the guidance of Qin Mingyue, she and Yang Zhen worked together. It took about a stick of incense to finally break the restriction.
Pushing the door open, Yang Zhen's eyes lit up. She saw various talismans displayed in glass boxes like museum exhibits. Some were fluorescent, some were restrained, and the colors were dazzling.
Looking at it, at least 70% are fourth-level talismans. There are two boxes in them. You can feel the terrifying power suppressed inside. They are actually the fifth-level talismans that the ancestor of Yuanying has also been striving for!
Yang Zhen moved her index finger, wishing she could sweep away all the talismans here!
Soon, he found his goal.
At the back left of the secret room, there are two black talismans, one of which has gold edges inlaid at the corners, and the other has silver edges, with the former on top of the latter.
A drop of blood floated out from the bluestone.
This is Qin Mingyue's essence and blood. The restriction of certain important talismans requires not a token of identity, but the blood of the direct lineage of the Qin family's royal family!
The blood drop collided with the restriction, making a slight "crack" sound. The blood drop melted and the restriction dissipated.
Yang Zhen took away the talisman below, took out a third-order talisman paper with almost the same appearance and was also inlaid with silver edges from the space, stuffed it into it, and covered it with the gold-rimmed talisman above.
The secret library will conduct routine inspections every day, but these restrictions will not be opened. They will only look outside the glass box to see if there is anything missing.
The kind of large-scale inspection that must be counted one by one, especially the kind of restriction that can only be opened through blood, is only carried out almost once a year.
Therefore, Yang Zhen's method is enough to conceal the truth.
You're done.
However, now that she has come to the treasure land, Yang Zhen certainly wants more than just this benefit.
He first opened a glass box containing fourth-level earth-type talismans, followed the same pattern, pulled out the following two talismans from a stack of three in total, and handed them to Qing Xiaoling.
With these two talismans in hand, the little fox will have more tricks to face Master Jindan in the future.
Qing Xiaoling accepted it happily. There were dense seal characters written on the talisman paper. She didn't have time to take a closer look at its purpose, so she accepted it first.
The most abundant items in this secret room were fire talismans that emitted dark red light. Yang Zhen followed the same method and took out two of them, preparing to give them to Ji Ye for self-defense.
After more than half an hour passed, the young man reluctantly left this place.
He has other goals.
Yang Zhen returned to the first floor and entered one of the alchemy rooms according to the plaque above.
There are a dazzling array of various elixirs inside, some of which are placed in jade bottles with only a few samples placed in the glass boxes; some are larger and are directly placed in jade boxes with labels attached to the outside.
Yang Zhen quickly found what he had missed for a long time——
Transformation elixir.
Dandan and Zhu Zhu have entered the late third level and are not far from being promoted to Demon King.
Although with the help of the immortal beast spirit, there is almost no obstacle for the two birds to transform into humans, but there is a small problem.
In the world of immortality, there are many monsters that successfully transformed into monsters without taking the Transformation Pill. However, such transformations are often incomplete, and the appearance of the original beast is easily retained on the body.
For example, Dandan Zhuzhu's appearance in the future is likely to be in the shape of a dove with a face and a shabby appearance.
After swallowing the Transformation Pill, you will experience a process of rebirth when transforming. Although it is very painful, it can just reshape your own appearance.
These two red-bellied eagles have been childhood sweethearts and have been in love with each other for a long time. Naturally, they don't want to look ugly in front of their sweetheart in the future. This is also an important reason why they slow down their cultivation speed and are not in a hurry to advance to the fourth level Demon King.
There were ten transformation pills in total, which were packed in an open jade box. Yang Zhen took two of them and replaced them with two fake pills of exactly the same size and color.
Whether it was a talisman or a transformation pill, they were treasures that could not be seen in the market. He was satisfied and prepared to leave.
But I saw the little fox next to me pointing at a glass box and shouting: "Guanren, I want it!"
I don’t know which book she learned such a title from in the past two days.
This voice was so confiding that it touched the soft parts of her heart. Yang Zhen felt her whole body numb. At this time, even if Qing Xiaoling asked him to empty the entire secret vault of treasures, he might agree.
Yang Zhen quickly looked over and saw three white jade vases displayed in the glass box. There were also several pills the size of rice grains scattered outside. The yellow color was very attractive.
Looking at the introduction on the label, it is a fourth-level elixir called Gong Dan, with one hundred pills per bottle.
Yang Zhen thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that she had seen the introduction of this item in the elixir book. This is a kind of elixir that is given to monsters in disguise. It can help get rid of the evil spirit on the body. Each pill is effective for about one year.
If Qing Xiaoling had taken this pill this morning, Yan Shijun would not be able to identify her anyway.
This kind of elixir is relatively niche. Yang Zhen has rarely heard of it from anyone. Who would have expected that there are hundreds of pills here!
Thinking of the little fox, Dandan and Zhu Zhu, Yang Zhen was overjoyed and swept them away without hesitation.
After pouring out the elixirs inside, the bottle was left with five pills on the top and the spirit grains on the bottom instead.
As for how long this method can fool him, he has no time to care.
Qing Xiaoling smiled broadly and looked at the young man with eyes full of affection.
Yang Zhen stepped out of the alchemy room. He had gained enough tonight and he planned to call it a day.
However, when he looked at the corridor on the top floor, curiosity made him feel itchy.
According to Qin Mingyue, she has never been to the third floor, and monks from the Ministry of Industry are also not allowed to enter. It is said that only Emperor Qin and the Supreme Patriarch can enter and exit at will.
This made him interested. Looking from below, there seemed to be no difference between the third floor and the first and second floors, except that the number of rooms was very small.
After a slight hesitation, Yang Zhen exerted her strength on her feet and reached the third floor.
In the center were two three-foot-high gates. Qin Mingyue observed the space for a long time, and finally said that it was impossible to break the restriction without a few days' time, and it would also make a lot of noise.
Next to this house, there were two small doors about ten feet high, one on the left and one on the right. The prohibition and the door were connected together. Yang Zhen looked at it for a moment and had to give up.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound at the entrance to the first floor, as if someone was opening the ban.
Yang Zhen's expression changed drastically, and she immediately pulled Qing Xiaoling into the space.
There is no better place to hide than a bluestone space.
At the same time, the small bluestone quickly shrank, its color became dull and translucent, and it quickly merged with the sapphire beneath its feet.
The door to the secret warehouse creaked open on both sides, and someone walked in. From the sound of the noise, it should be two people.
"Ancestor, what's wrong?" a middle-aged man's voice asked.
"Well, it's nothing. It's probably an illusion. I seemed to feel a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy just now." Another old voice replied.
At this time, Qin Mingyue said softly: "The first one to speak is Your Majesty, and the one who answers later is my Grand Ancestor of Great Qin!"
The two people with the highest cultivation level and the most power in the Qin Kingdom!
Yang Zhen's heart trembled, what are they doing here in the middle of the night?
Suddenly, I saw a figure shaking, and two people jumped to the third floor one after another.
The two people stood a few steps away from Qingshi, and their breathing could be heard clearly. Yang Zhen, Qing Xiaoling, Yi Yi and others only dared to observe secretly from the corner of their eyes, not daring to look directly at them.
Qin Mingyue was warned and simply turned her back to the outside world.
I saw a person in front of him who was in his thirties, wearing a bright yellow robe with fire clouds painted on it. He was calm and dignified, and had the grace and grace of someone who had been on top for a long time. He was the Emperor of Qin.
The man in the back looks to be in his forties or fifties, with white temples and a haggard look. His deep eyes give people a feeling as unfathomable as the sea.
Yang Zhen suddenly remembered that she had heard Yin Nanxing talk about it in Langshan a few years ago, saying that the Supreme Patriarch of Qin State was injured and rarely saw people. Now it seems that it is not a lie.
However, judging from his complexion, his injuries should not be serious.
At this time, Emperor Qin took out a token from his waist and waved it in front of the gate for a moment, then saw the two gates slowly opening.
There is a main hall inside. Unfortunately, the small bluestone is blocked from sight, and only the small half of the right side of the main hall can be seen.
Yang Zhen stretched her neck to identify it for a long time, and could vaguely see a corner of the eucalyptus. There seemed to be a portrait of a character above it, but no matter how Yiyi adjusted the angle, she could not see the appearance of the painting.
The ancestor of Nascent Soul was so close to Chi Chi that they did not dare to let Qingshi move in any way.
Not long after, Emperor Qin was seen standing on the right side of the hall, kneeling down respectfully. Although Taishang Patriarch couldn't see where he was, he should be kneeling down on the left side at the same time.
The two of them murmured in a low voice.
After a while, Emperor Qin stood up, raised his hand, and something big fell out.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but stare!
Sarcophagus!
The sarcophagus that once took them to the Mountain Realm, took them across the ocean, and returned to the Eastern Realm!
…
There was a conversation between the two people in the hall.
Emperor Qin: "Ancestor, I am so lucky to have found this sacred object."
The sarcophagus then made several dull vibrations.
Ancestor: "It really is this thing! Where did you find it?"
Emperor Qin: "Two months ago, this object appeared in Quzhou, our newly opened territory in Great Qin. Our soldiers snatched it from the hands of the demon tribe and sent it to the child after many twists and turns."
Ancestor: "Very good! This is what we have been ordered to look for in the blood jade ancestral training. I heard that this object once appeared when Panxi Mountain collapsed, and then disappeared. This time the ancestral land was born in advance, and this treasure also Returning to the hands of our Great Qin, it seems that our ancestors have blessed us, and our Qin Kingdom should be prosperous, haha!"
Emperor Qin smiled and said: "It's all thanks to the ancestor that this child has such luck. This time the ancestral land is opened, ancestor, will you go with us?"
The ancestor pondered for a moment and coughed softly: "Forget it, I'm an old man, I'd better stay in the mountains to repair! Besides, there must be someone to guard the capital..."
Emperor Qin: "That's fine."
There was a slight sigh in his mouth.
Ancestor: "Xier, are you worried about that girl Mingyue?"
Emperor Qin: "My child dare not hide it. Mingyue has not come out from the ancestral land for so long, I am indeed a little worried."
Ancestor: "There are three levels in the ancestral land, and the illusion in the second level is most likely to trap people. Although Mingyue's aptitude is extremely beautiful, if she is trapped in this level, hey, it will be her disaster, and she can't do it."
Emperor Qin: "It has been fourteen days since Mingyue entered the ancestral land. This time has been very long. I want to..."
Ancestor: "What do you think?"
Emperor Qin: "Haier wants to send someone in to find her."
Ancestor: "Send people, how to send people? Send those three princes? They can't get in, you don't know, right?"
Emperor Qin: "I want to send Lao Ba in."
Ancestor: "Lao Ba, Zhao Huan? He is not a direct descendant of my royal family... Do you plan to pass on the [Blue Blood Questioning Heart Technique] to him?"
Emperor Qin: "That's right."
Ancestor: "No! The Blue Blood Questioning Heart Technique can only be practiced by the direct descendants of my royal family. How can it be passed on to others?"
Emperor Qin knelt down with a plop: "Ancestor! Mingyue's qualifications are rare in thousands of years. If someone from our Qin family advances to become a god in the future, it can only be her! The prosperity and strength of our Great Qin may be pinned on her. We can't let Mingyue You were trapped in your ancestral land for nothing!"
"Although Lao Ba's qualifications are good, they are still inferior to those of the three princes, and even worse than Mingyue. Even if he is allowed to enter the ancestral land and become a candidate, he will never be able to obtain the blood jade!"
Ancestor: "Okay, just do as you say! Tell Lao Ba that the Blue Blood Questioning Heart Technique is only allowed to be practiced by him alone and must not be passed on to others!"
Emperor Qin was overjoyed: "My child obeys the order!"
Ancestor: "I'm tired, let's go... Qin Shixi, what's your expression?"
Emperor Qin: "Ancestor, I suddenly want to understand something."
Ancestor: "What happened?"
Emperor Qin: "The death of Lao Qi."
Ancestor: "Old Seven? Didn't he suddenly disappear after sending Mingyue to Hengji Mountain?"
Emperor Qin: "Yes! He disappeared and died after sending Mingyue off. But the reason for his disappearance has always been elusive to me before, but just now, I suddenly figured it out."
"He must have secretly practiced the Jixue Asking Heart Art, and then sneaked into the ancestral land with the intention of murdering Mingyue, but was killed by Mingyue! However, Mingyue must have been seriously injured, so he was trapped in the ancestral land and was not allowed to come out!"
In the bluestone space, when Qin Mingyue heard this, her heart was shaken and tears filled her eyes!
…
At this time, I only heard the Grand Ancestor say: "This matter is just your speculation. If you don't find Mingyue, it is not enough to prove it. Besides, even the eldest, second, and even the third prince are involved in this matter. The ancestral land The start is approaching, the three of them are all candidates selected by the ancestors, we should not cause trouble again!"
"You can send people to find Mingyue, but the three of them must not be punished! If one of them can obtain the blood jade, it is his opportunity and must not be violated!"
When Qin Mingyue heard this, her pretty face was filled with anger and she couldn't help but look back!
"Who is this!" Taishang Ancestor shouted loudly!
The light curtain closed instantly, and in the space, Yang Zhen's face turned pale:
"Qin Mingyue, do you think I can't kill you?"
Qin Mingyue shed tears like rain, lowered her head and remained silent.
The muscles on Yang Zhen's face couldn't help but tremble. If the bluestone space was exposed, he would definitely kill this woman and never spare a hand!
Fortunately, things did not develop in the worst direction.
The light curtain was closed. At this moment, he and Yiyi did not dare to spy on the outside world, but the sound could still reach their ears.
Emperor Qin was surprised to hear: "Ancestor, what happened?"
Ancestor: "Someone is peeping in the dark, my feeling is absolutely right!"
There was silence in the secret vault for a while, and then the ancestor’s voice sounded again:
"There is a faint smell of blood on the second floor, let's go!"
The sound gradually faded away, Yang Zhen and Yiyi looked at each other, and they both let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as the little bluestone was not found at that time, they believed that even if the ancestor returned to his original place, he would not be able to find it again.
However, what happened next was as expected, and Yang Zhen couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"A fourth-level soul contract has been stolen! Someone must have broken into the secret vault. Send an order to seal this place and strictly prohibit entry and exit!"
