Chapter 362: Chapter 247: Great River Sword Manual, Astonishing Wealth!_2
Damn it!
Xu Yang shivered and shouted angrily, “Shut up, you think I’m Grandmaster Chengming?”
The tree demon was confused, who was Grandmaster Chengming?
What does this have to do with Grandmaster Chengming?
After two more rounds of “bombardment,” her strength weakened, and the merit she provided for Xu Yang had dropped from 1,000 points to 100 points. The entire treetop was almost shapeless, with several thick branches broken.
Liu Shishi and Tu Xiaoyu had kind hearts, and seeing the tree demon so miserable, they couldn’t bear it.
Xu Yang thought for a moment and looked at the system panel.
[Name]: Xu Yang
[Age]: 22 years old
[Daoist Arts]: Divine Ascension Scripture
[Daoist skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill (entry-level), Water Manipulation Skill (entry-level), Wulei Rules (Divine Transcendence), Paper Cutting Skill (entry-level), Earth Escape Skill, Dream Creation Skill, Land Spirit Skill (entry-level).
[Martial Arts]: Land Flight Skill (Grandmaster), Soul Searching, Disguise Art, Eight Forms of Famous Sword Skills (Grandmaster)
[Cultivation]: Divine Transcendence Realm, early stage.
[Treasures]: Supreme Purification Seal (Daoist artifact), iron hammer
[Merit Points]: 426,000 points.
[Storage Space]: 100 cubic yards
Originally having only a few remaining merit points, he once again broke the 400,000 mark. The silken pouch representing the “1 million achievement reward” at the bottom of the system’s attribute panel had been activated.
Considering the tree demon was barely hanging on and had provided fewer merit points,
Xu Yang immediately stopped painting talismans.
With a thought, his soul left his body and rode the sword, using the “Daoist flying sword” technique to kill the giant elm tree!
This time, as the sword light approached the treetop, he didn’t feel the previous sensation of being stuck in a quagmire. Apparently, after a round of “thunder and fire bombardment,” the tree demon’s domain had been destroyed!
Without its domain,
and extremely weakened, how could the tree demon be a match for Xu Yang?
In just a minute, the giant elm tree had been split in half.
“Xu Yang!”
“Iron Hammer Daoist!”
The tree demon roared desperately, mournfully, and hatefully, “I’ll remember today’s grudge! I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost!”
“A ghost?”
Xu Yang laughed, cleaved his sword, and shattered the tree demon’s consciousness with a violent sword aura, saying indifferently, “Talking about becoming a ghost in front of a Daoist expert … do you think you have a chance?”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, you have been rewarded for killing a demon: +10,000 merit points.”
The system prompt sounded in his mind.
Xu Yang’s primordial spirit returned to his body, flew forward, activated his “Fire Method,” and burned the trunk of the giant elm tree to ashes.
As the tree demon was killed, an entrance appeared at the base of her roots.
“Xi Xia Treasure!”
Mountain Ghost appeared beside Xu Yang at some point, with a flattering smile on his face, “Master Xu, this is the entrance to the Xi Xia treasure trove!”
He was a Mountain Ghost.
He was born from the essence of the Helan Mountains, familiar with every plant and tree on Helan Mountain. He said, “I have secretly entered the Xi Xia treasure trove before, but the tree demon’s roots were too developed that already extended into the treasure trove, so I couldn’t steal the treasure from under her watch.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang asked, “You’ve been inside the Xi Xia treasure trove? Are there any dangers inside?”
Mountain Ghost replied, “There are some mechanisms inside, but they’re only a threat to ordinary warriors and Daoists. They won’t be a problem for Master Xu.”
“Is the treasure protected by heroic spirits?”
Xu Yang recalled the situation in Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.
Mountain Ghost replied, “Originally, yes, but unfortunately, they died at the hands of the tree demon 800 years ago. Master Xu, let’s go … I’ll lead the way for you!”
“Now that the treasure has been found, there’s no hurry to go inside.”
Xu Yang sat down outside the entrance of the treasure trove, saying, “I had a little epiphany during that battle just now. I’ll practice first and talk later.”
Upon hearing this, the scene fell quiet.
Liu Shishi had already become accustomed to this, while Xu Yang, in Tu Xiaoyu’s eyes, was like an immortal being… capable of anything!
Mountain Ghost secretly grumbled to himself…
What kind of fight was that?
Wasn’t it the Tree Demon that you defeated with Daoist talismans?
Ma Sanpao and the others probably shared the same thoughts as Mountain Ghost…
However, Xu Yang’s gaze was focused on the gold satchel that had lit up under the system property panel.
With a simple thought, the golden satchel flew out.
Gold light shone brightly for a moment, dazzling the eyes.
But this scene was invisible to anyone other than Xu Yang.
“Ding!”
“Will the host choose to open the one million achievement gift pack immediately?”
[Yes],[No]?
“Open!”
As the command was given, the mouth of the golden satchel slowly loosened, revealing the gold light inside that turned into countless complex letters that couldn’t be seen clearly, which entered Xu Yang’s mind.
Xu Yang’s body trembled as he slowly closed his eyes.
He comprehended and memorized the Daoist arts explained in those texts…
When his eyes opened again, the words “Great River Sword Manual” had appeared behind the Martial Arts column in the system property panel.
“Another martial art?”
Xu Yang furrowed his brow, somewhat speechless.
What’s wrong with this system?
Why do they keep giving me martial arts as a Daoist cultivator?
“Forget it, forget it… Although this Great River Sword Manual is not weak, once I’ve mastered the Great River sword aura, any random sword would create a raging torrent, with an unstoppable sword intent and great power. It is a martial art that leads to a land sword immortal, so studying it isn’t bad.”
Xu Yang changed his mind and slowly got up. “Let’s go to the treasury.”
Mountain Ghost led the way.
He was very familiar with the conditions in the treasury and explained them to Xu Yang.
“Master Xu,”
“This treasury was secretly built by the Xi Xia Dynasty using eight hundred laborers, taking six years and three months… Originally, the Xi Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao wanted to follow Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s example and build an unprecedented mausoleum…”
“Unfortunately, the Xi Xia’s foundation was too shallow, and Li Yuanhao, who killed his mother and uncle and humiliated his officials’ wives and daughters-in-law, had no moral shame. In the end, he was tortured to death by having his own nose cut off by his son. Moreover, since this treasury was built in secret, the people who knew about it, besides the Painting Soul sealed inside the painting and Li Yuanhao’s former daughter-in-law, had all been killed!”
“As a result, this place became a buried secret!”
“The treasury was built according to the specifications of the Central Plains emperor’s mausoleum, containing not only a large amount of jewelry amassed by Li Yuanhao, but also eighty thousand kg gold and thirty thousand kg silver… all stored in the treasure vault ahead.”
As Mountain Ghost operated the mechanism,
Bang!
A heavy stone gate slowly rose.
In sight were wooden boxes more than a meter high, neatly arranged all over the place.
Mountain Ghost went forward, prying open one of the wooden boxes. Inside were dazzling gold bars, which under the light of the candle, illuminated the entire treasury in gold.
Gulp!
Xu Yang swallowed.
Even though he no longer had any interest in money now… seeing such a massive wealth before him still made his heart race!
Eighty thousand kg of gold!
Thirty thousand kg of silver!
And over a dozen boxes of jewels!
How much wealth was this?
