797 Immortality (1/2)
”The White Sun Gate… It's unexpected that a small sect in Clear Lotus Commandery has collected so much treasure!”
Fang Yuan strolled through this sect's treasury, nodding as he looked around. ”At least, they're good at reaping profits!”
”Hehe… Although the sect master is barely a third-grade martial artist, he's still the founder of the sect. The previous generations of his family may have contributed to the wealth as well”
The voice of the Sanguine Demon's Essence Soul sounded excited. ”Walk forward a bit more. It's the second item on the third layer of the wooden shelf… Oh, since you have the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror now, can you see how extraordinary my fragment is?”
”Indeed!”
Fang Yuan picked up a black rock from the shelf. There were countless holes in the rock, making it look like a beehive.
But in his eyes, it was like a vortex emanating a mysterious, dark aura.
It even faintly interacted with a vague Essence Soul in the Blood Imbibing Saber.
My Heavenly Eye Seer Spell is much stronger than the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror… Fang Yuan thought silently, while the Sanguine Demon's Essence Soul was totally unaware of his secret.
He glanced at the wooden shelf again and noticed a piece of paper below the rock. It read, This is an unknown mineral weighing 3,700 grams. This extremely hard rock can not be abraded by water nor burned by fire… The disciple, Bai Yunsheng, presented it after returning from his journey!
”Very good. You've found a second fragment, so this is the reward you deserve!”
The Sanguine Demon's Essence Soul did not hesitate this time, injecting a large amount of inspiration about his breakthrough into Fang Yuan's sea of consciousness.
This demon is… getting stronger!
Fang Yuan slashed the black rock. Numerous purplish-red veins extended from the Blood Imbibing Saber and voraciously absorbed everything in the rock fragments. Before long, the black rock crumbled into ashes, while the Essence Soul in the Blood Imbibing Saber solidified slightly. And Fang Yuan had observed this process.
And… the Great Sanguine Demon's Dao path is indeed different from those of the Mental Demon Realm and the Spiritual Realm!
He changed his mind to prioritize searching for the Great Sanguine Demon's fragments since it was easier to achieve, but more importantly, it was because he had acquired the Heavenly Eye Seer Spell.
Observing this demon's Essence Soul was comparable to being taught by a Demon God. The benefits were far more valuable than the experiences that this demon had imparted.
”Hmm?”
After learning something from the Sanguine Demon's Essence Soul, Fang Yuan casually searched through the treasury before an item attracted his attention.
He quickly approached the bookshelf and slashed it with his hand.
Whoosh!
Wooden planks crumbled, revealing a hidden case stuck in between.
He opened the case and retrieved a silver silk scroll.
”An incomplete page of the Ancient Armament Manual?”
Fang Yuan was truly surprised when he saw this.
The Armament Manual was written by an anonymous author. Not only did it rank the top ten Divine Armaments and the top ten Demonic Armaments, but it also recorded many secret cultivation arts, most of which were related to powerful armaments.
The Nangong family's Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art was only one of them.
”I can't believe… that I found an incomplete page of the Armament Manual here…”
Fang Yuan did not read it in detail and instead directly walked out of the treasury.
”M-Master!”
The members of the sect waited fearfully outside the treasury, and the elderly sect master had an ingratiating smile on his face.
”How did you obtain the incomplete page of the Ancient Armament Manual?” Without a second thought, he waved the Armament Manual in his hand.
”The Ancient Armament Manual?”
The old man was stunned, and Fang Yuan deduced from his blank expression that he honestly knew nothing about it.
”Hmm?” But Fang Yuan would not let him off so easily. He sneered and released a frightening aura.
”Master! Please spare my life! I really don't know anything about the Armament Manual!”
With his life threatened, the sect master knelt and begged for mercy, disregarding his dignity.
”Where did you get the bookshelf in your treasury then?” Fang Yuan changed the subject.
”That… was moved here from the Red Flower Sect after we annihilated it…” the sect master said respectfully, but he immediately regretted it inside.
If he had known that a secret manual was hidden inside, he would have retrieved and practiced it. Why would he wait until now?
”Hehe… It seems that this item is destined to be mine.”
Looking at him, Fang Yuan was generally clear about how they had obtained the Armament Manual. He grinned and kept the manual before leaving. His silhouette soon disappeared in the sky.
”Phew…”
The sect master and disciples only relaxed after Fang Yuan had disappeared from their sight.
”This man… isn't that bloodthirsty!”
A disciple touched his head in lingering fear.
”Hmph!” The sect master snorted coldly. ”What are you waiting for? Clean up the treasury and check what we've lost!”
”Understood!”
This elder regained the aura of a third-grade master. As the sect's top martial artist, he had the authority to order the others. The disciples and other elders did not dare neglect him and acted immediately.
