Chapter 386 Picking a Treasure (2/2)

Even the four balls carefully selected by Zhou Yuan had disappeared.

Zhou Yuan panicked when he saw this. Why had the signet frightened off all of the balls? How was he going to pick a treasure now?

“What a scam!” However, his panicking was useless. He could only watch powerlessly as the glowing balls disappeared, nearly causing him to burst out into tears.

While Zhou Yuan was at a loss, the signet in his palm slowly rose into the air, before it began to move forward.

Zhou Yuan was shocked, but quickly followed after a moment of hesitation. This was where patriarch Cang Xuan used to cultivate, and since he came in with patriarch Cangxuan’s signet, he won’t end up suffering, right?

He followed the signet forward. After a while, his footsteps gradually came to a stop, because he had reached the end of the starlight walkway.

However, the signet did not stop here, but instead slowly inched forward. Next, Zhou Yuan watched in astonishment as a crack was slowly torn open at the end of the starlight walkway.

The jade token flickered, as if urging Zhou Yuan to catch up.

Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment. In the end, he gritted his teeth and quickly walked forward, placing a foot into the crack.

The scenery before him changed the instant he stepped in, now finding himself standing inside an ancient looking room. The interior of the room was quite simple, and gave off an oldish aura.

The jade token dropped onto the ground, and was picked it by Zhou Yuan before he carefully kept it.

Zhou Yuan looked at the mat atop the stone bed in front of him, as he muttered to himself, “Is this where patriarch Cangxuan used to cultivate?”

He surveyed his surroundings, before his attention finally stopped on a table in front of the stone bed, where four jade scrolls quietly lay.

Out of curiosity, Zhou Yuan walked forward and randomly picked one of them up, his pupils abruptly shrinking the moment he sent out his senses.

“It’s a mid grade Heaven Genesis technique…”

In the Cangxuan Sect, Heaven Genesis techniques obtained by the disciples would usually be at the low grade Heaven tier, while obtaining a mid grade Heaven tier was several times harder.

Zhou Yuan never expected that a random scroll he picked up in the room would turn out to contain a mid grade Heaven Genesis technique.

Shock filling his heart, Zhou Yuan picked up the other three scrolls, and to find that two of them were also mid grade Heaven tier techniques. Moreover, they seemed to be fairly high ranking even amongst other mid grade Heaven tier techniques.

The last scroll was to most shocking of them all. It held a grade 7 Qi cultivation method!

From how they were so casually placed in the room, it appeared that patriarch Cang Xuan did not really value them.

However, this was only the case for patriarch Cang Xuan. For someone like Zhou Yuan, they were treasures that he could only dream of. In fact, he was even contemplating whether he could take them all.

In the end, he managed to suppress his greed. The Ancient Manuals Tower had its own rules after all, and if he was caught, he might end up empty-handed instead.

“I’ll just pick one of these mid grade Heaven tier techniques.” Zhou Yuan was stuck in a dilemma for quite some time, before he finally gritted his teeth and made his decision. Though the grade 7 Qi cultivation method was superior, it was useless to him.

Hence, he reached out and grabbed a jade scroll, before turning around as he prepared to leave.

However, he spotted a tiny flash of green from the corner of his eye as his body turned. He paused to take a look, only to discover a small plant that resembled a small pine tree on a corner of the bed.

It was an unremarkable object that was easy to overlook even if seen. After all, there was nothing special about this small pine tree.

However, the Decoder Saint Rune in Zhou Yuan’s pupils was currently still spinning, causing him to be taken aback the moment he saw the small plant. He could clearly see ancient markings carved on the plant’s body that gave off a peculiar sensation...

As a result, he quickly turned back and put down the jade scroll, before he carefully lifted up that small plant.

The Decoder Saint Rune in his eyes spun as the ancient markings on the plant began to converge, forming an image that was reflected in his eyes.

An ancient message appeared in his brain.

“Immortal body, Taiyi Green Wood Mark.”
