115 Going to clan treasury (1/2)
Bai Yun took two days to get used to the new abilities he had gained. The especially difficult part was getting used to the sudden increase in his sight. Bai Yun was getting more information than he could process. It took Bai Yun a while to get used to his new reality. And it took even longer to use it properly in a fight. But he still managed to do so in just two days. And that was due to Bai Yun's great comprehension. If it was anyone else, they would have taken months for the same task.
Once Bai Yun was fine, he asked his father to take him to the clan treasury. It was finally time to get his rewards from the clan tournament.
So one day morning, Bai Mu, took Bai Yun and flew to the clan treasury. The clan treasury was located in a secret location and only Dao step cultivators of the Bai clan were allowed to know its location.
Bai Mo used teleportation to travel. Due to Bai Yun's cultivation, teleportation disoriented him a bit. When Bai Yun finally came to, he found himself standing in front of a tall pagoda.
The pagoda wasn't exceptionally tall or large. It wouldn't look out of place in a random street in Yellow city. But Bai Yun could tell that this pagoda was extraordinary.
With a single look, Bai Yun saw that the pagoda was covered with many formations. But Bai Yun could not identify the formations. The formations inscribed were very small. Even with Bai Yun's current eyesight, he could not see them clearly. But just from the feel the pagoda was giving him, Bai Yun could guess some of the functions of the formations laid on the pagoda.
Suddenly an old man appeared in front of Bai Yun. He was wearing a grey robe and had long white hair and long moustache that reached his shoulder. As the old man stood there, he gave off a stiff pressure that suppressed Bai Yun. If Bai Yun was feeling such a presence for the first time, he might've kneeled in terror. But even with the great pressure on him, Bai Yun simply smiled and ignored the pressure given off by the old man. This wasn't a pressure given by cultivation, but only the pressure of experience. And he had felt much stronger presences before. So Bai Yun could directly ignore it.
Seeing that Bai Yun wasn't affected by his presence, the old man was surprised. He then nodded and took back his presence.
”This junior has seen elder San.” Bai Mu said to the elder while cupping his hands and slightly bowing.
”I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have already reached the dao seed realm.” The old man said with a smile. ”At this time you will overtake us old guys in no time.”
Bai Mu only smiled in response. The old man then turned to face Bai Yun. ”Is this your son?” The old man asked.
”Yes.” Bai Mu said. He then turned and introduced the two of them. ”This is my son Bai Yun. Yun this is the first elder of the Bai clan, Bai San. He is responsible for the protection of the clan treasury.”
”They told me that you had won the clan tournament, but you could not come with the rest of them to collect your rewards since you were injured.” The old man asked.
”Yes. This junior injured my eyes, and had to wait until they recovered.” Bai Yun said.
The old man laughed when he heard this. ”You actually won the clan tournament while blind. I must say you must be even more terrifying than your father.” Elder San said.
Bai Yun only smiled lightly in response, while Bai Mu looked quite proud of this.
After this elder San directly took out the rewards that the first place for the clan tournament got. It included a million gold coins, five hundred low grade spirit stones, and a few pills that aided in cultivation in the foundation establishment realm. It wasn't much, after all the most important reward was inside the treasury.
”Well lets not just stand here talking. Let's go inside and choose a reward.” Elder San.
Elder San then turned around and walked to the pagoda. When he reached the entrance of the pagoda, elder San touched it gently. Then a light lit up the door, and it slowly turned into a silver whirlpool. Then elder San stepped into the silver whirlpool and disappeared. Seeing this Bai Yun and Mu also hurried behind him. They also stepped into the whirlpool and disappeared. After they went in, the whirlpool slowly dimmed and turned back into a normal door.
For a moment Ba Yun was blinded by the light of the whirlpool. When he came, to, Bai Yun realised that he was standing in the middle of a large room. To his left were many boxes filled with various items. To his front were many shelves all filled with colorful items. To his right were what looked to be many lockers. And finally, there was a large hallway right behind him.
”Welcome to the clan treasury.” Elder San said. ”The important items of the clan are stored here.”
”I doubt that.” Bai Yun said. ”considering the size of this, and the size of the clan, I bet there are are more treasuries like this. A smart person will always hide their treasure in multiple places. And I think that the truly valuable items must be hidden somewhere else. Most likely under the guard of a grand elder.”
Elder San and Bai Mu only laughed when they heard this. ”Do you have any idea what you are looking for?” Elder San aked Bi Yun.
”Let me take a look around and see what items are here.” Bai Yun replied.
