Chapter 298 The Secret Treasure Appears
Dark clouds rolled in, and a golden light shot out from them. The Saintess, quick-witted and swift-handed, grabbed Liu Ruyan and Zi Xiao and leaped back.
"Boom!" The golden light hit the boulder, creating a big hole.
"Hahaha!" A burst of laughter came from the clouds. "After searching for so long, I finally found you!"
The mist parted, revealing a fat man in a golden robe. He rode on a golden cloud, holding a glittering golden whisk in his hand.
"Old Jin Guang!" Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth, "Why are you haunting me?"
This fat man in golden robe is the leader of Jin Guang Sect, who specializes in collecting various rare treasures.
A year ago, he tried to snatch Liu Ruyan's flaming folding fan, but was taught a lesson by the saint.
"You little bitch, I let you run away last time, let's see where you can run this time!"
The old man Jin Guang shook his whisk and said, "Hand over the treasure, and I will spare your lives!"
"Dream on!" Liu Ruyan opened her folding fan and flames rose.
Old Man Jin Guang sneered: "Just you three yellow-haired girls?"
He waved his whisk, and dozens of golden lights shot out, turning into golden ropes in the air and entwining towards the three people.
The Saint Maiden pressed her hands together, and an ice wall rose up. The golden rope collided with the ice wall, making a harsh friction sound.
"It's useless!" said the old man Jin Guang proudly. "My golden rope is made of thousand-year-old golden silk. Even a Daluo Jinxian can't break free!"
Before he could finish his words, the ice wall suddenly shattered. A golden rope pierced through the ice wall and wrapped around the three people.
"Be careful!" the saint shouted.
Liu Ruyan waved her folding fan, and flames formed a barrier. But the golden rope passed through the flames without any damage.
"It's over!" Liu Ruyan's face changed.
At this moment, the runes on the boulder suddenly lit up. A beam of white light shot up into the sky, forming a massive shield that enveloped the three of them.
The golden rope hit the light shield and turned into powder in an instant.
"This is..." Old Man Jin Guang's eyes widened. "An ancient restriction?"
The light shield became brighter and brighter, and the figures of the three people gradually became blurred.
"Not good!" Old Man Jin Guang was anxious, "Want to run away?"
He urged the golden cloud to swoop down, and lashed his whisk fiercely at the light shield. But the moment the whisk touched the light shield, it was bounced back.
"Bang!" Old Man Jin Guang was hit by the recoil force and fell down from the golden cloud.
"Damn it!" He got up and saw that the three people in the light shield had disappeared. "They got away!"
Inside the light shield, the three people felt a flash before their eyes, and their feet felt empty as they fell downwards.
"Ah!" Liu Ruyan screamed.
The saint wanted to cast a spell, but found that the spiritual power in her body could not flow.
"Stop struggling." Zi Xiao said, "This should be a teleportation array. We have been teleported to the secret realm."
The fall lasted for about an incense stick of time, and the three people finally landed.
"Ouch!" Liu Ruyan rubbed her butt and climbed up. "Isn't this damn place too dark?"
It was pitch black, with a faint metallic smell hanging in the air.
The Saint took out a night-shining pearl from her sleeve. The pearl's light illuminated the surroundings, and the three of them could finally see where they were.
This is a huge stone chamber with smooth walls and intricate patterns carved on the floor.
In the center of the stone chamber stood a huge stone platform, on which were placed various tools of strange shapes.
"This is..." Zi Xiao approached the stone platform, "Refining platform?"
"That's right." The Saint nodded, "This should be an ancient weapon refining site."
Liu Ruyan picked up a hammer and said, "These tools look brand new, without any rust at all."
"The tools forged by ancient weaponsmiths using special techniques will never rust."
As the Saint spoke, her eyes fell on a shelf next to the stone platform.
Various semi-finished magical instruments were neatly arranged on the shelves, including swords, knives, talismans, seals, and some strange objects whose purpose was unknown.
"These magical instruments..." Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, "They are all treasures!"
Just as she was about to reach out to take it, the Saint Lady grabbed her and said, "Be careful, these magical instruments are not yet fully refined and are very unstable."
"What should we do then?" Liu Ruyan curled her lips. "We can't return empty-handed, right?"
The Saint was about to speak when she suddenly felt something and turned to look deeper into the stone chamber: "Over there..."
There was a secret door deep in the stone chamber, with a piece of talisman paper stuck on it. The talisman paper had turned yellow, but the runes on it were still clear.
"This rune..." The Saint observed carefully, "is the same as the one on the boulder outside."
"What are you waiting for?" Liu Ruyan said, "Open it and take a look!"
The Saint took out the jade token and placed it on the talisman paper. The talisman paper glowed faintly, and the secret door slowly opened.
A cool breeze blew in their faces. The three of them walked into the secret door and found a small secret room inside.
There is a stone platform in the center of the secret room, and two jade boxes are placed on the stone platform.
There are two jade boxes, one black and one white. The black jade box is surrounded by a trace of coldness, while the white jade box emits a faint warmth.
"This is..." Liu Ruyan reached out to take the white jade box.
"Wait." The Saint stopped her, "Let me take a look first."
She took out the jade slip and placed it against her forehead, closing her eyes and sensing for a moment: "In each of these two jade boxes, a magical tool is sealed.
The black box contains an ice mirror, and the white box contains a fire spirit sword."
"Ice Mirror? Fire Spirit Sword?" Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up. "That sounds impressive!"
"These two magical instruments are a pair of treasures that complement and counteract each other." The Saint said, "The Ice Mirror is for defense, and the Fire Spirit Sword is for attack.
If you can control them simultaneously, the power will be doubled."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Liu Ruyan was about to get it.
The Saint shook her head: "These two magical instruments have not been refined yet, and..."
Before she finished speaking, the two jade boxes suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Cold air and hot air intertwined in the secret room, forming a Tai Chi pattern.
"This is..." Zi Xiao asked in surprise, "A ceremony of recognizing the master?"
A cold light shot out from the black jade box, heading straight for the Saint. Simultaneously, a flaming light shot out from the white jade box, flying towards Liu Ruyan.
"Get out of the way!" Zi Xiao shouted.
But the two women stood still. They felt that the two rays of light had no malicious intent, but rather a sense of intimacy.
The cold light penetrated into the body of the saint, and she felt a cool feeling flowing through her body.
Her ice-blue jade pendant suddenly resonated and shone brightly.
The flames penetrated into Liu Ruyan's body, and a warm current flowed through her meridians.
The folding fan in her hand also vibrated and flames rose.
"This is..." Liu Ruyan said in surprise, "Has the magic weapon recognized its master?"
The two jade boxes opened automatically. Inside the black box was an ice-blue round mirror, its surface flowing like water; inside the white box was a fiery red sword, its blade entwined with flame patterns.
The Saint picked up the Ice Mirror and felt a connection with her mind. With a gentle wave, a stream of cold air shot out, freezing the stone wall opposite into a block of ice.
Liu Ruyan also picked up the Fire Spirit Sword and waved it casually. A flame roared out and melted the ice instantly.
"Amazing!" Liu Ruyan cheered. "This sword is even more useful than my folding fan!"
The Saint nodded: "Although these two magical instruments have not been refined yet, their quality is indeed extraordinary.
and..."
She looked at Liu Ruyan and said, "Have you noticed that they resonate with our natal magic weapons?"
Only then did Liu Ruyan notice that her folding fan had turned fiery red at some point, emitting a flame power several times stronger than before.
The saint's ice-blue jade pendant also emitted bursts of cold light, and the power of cold air was more condensed than before.
"What's going on?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"It's probably the interaction between the magical instruments," the Saint explained. "Our natal magical instruments have been blessed by the new ones, so their power has naturally increased."
"Great!" Liu Ruyan danced with joy. "Now our strength has increased again!"
At this moment, the chamber suddenly vibrated. Lines of runes appeared on the stone walls, emitting a dazzling light.
"Not good!" The Saint's face changed, "The restriction is about to collapse!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"This secret room is sealed with a restriction," the Saint said, "Now that the magical instrument has recognized its master, the restriction will naturally disappear.
We have to leave quickly!"
The three of them hurried out. As soon as they exited the secret door, they heard a rumbling sound behind them.
Looking back, the secret door had disappeared and turned into an ordinary stone wall.
"Finally got out." Liu Ruyan patted her chest. "I almost got trapped in there."
"What should we do now?" Zi Xiao asked, "That old guy Jin Guang is still outside."
"Don't worry." The Saint said, "We are already in the secret realm, he can't get in.
But..."
She looked towards the other end of the stone chamber: "There's movement over there."
There were footsteps and voices coming from the other end of the stone chamber.
"Brother, are you sure it's here?"
"There's no mistake. The breath is coming from this direction."
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up: "It's those two idiots from Qingyun Sect!"
"How did they get in too?" Zi Xiao frowned.
"It may be through other entrances." The Saint said, "This secret realm should have more than one entrance."
The footsteps were getting closer. The three of them looked at each other and hid behind a stone pillar.
Tieshan and his fellow apprentice walked into the stone chamber and saw the refining tools all over the floor, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother!" the thin young man said excitedly, "These are all treasures!"
"Don't move!" Tieshan stopped him, "These things are not yet refined, don't touch them."
He looked around: "Strange, I clearly sensed a strong spiritual power fluctuation just now..."
"Could it be an illusion?" asked the thin young man.
"Impossible." Tieshan shook his head, "My perception can't be wrong.
There must be some secret here!"
As he spoke, he took out a compass and began to explore around.
Liu Ruyan curled her lips at the sight: "This big idiot is quite serious."
"Shh." The saint made a gesture to silence.
Tieshan turned the compass around and suddenly stopped in front of the original location of the secret door: "Here!
There’s something wrong with this wall!”
He put away the compass and took out the big knife from his back: "Let me split it open!"
"Wait, Brother!" the thin young man said anxiously, "What if there is a trap inside..."
Before he could finish his words, Tieshan had already raised his sword and chopped it down.
"boom!"
The knife flashed, but the stone wall remained motionless. Instead, a powerful recoil force came, causing Tieshan to retreat repeatedly.
"Haha!" Liu Ruyan couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Who?" Tieshan shouted, "Come out!"
The three of them looked at each other and walked out from behind the stone pillar.
"It's you!" Tieshan's eyes widened. "Why are you here?"
"We should be asking you this question," Liu Ruyan said, "Aren't you guys just walking around outside?
How did you get in?"
Tieshan blushed: "Humph, that's because..."
"Brother!" The thin young man suddenly pointed at the magical instruments in the hands of the Saint Girl and Liu Ruyan, "They got the treasure!"
Tieshan then noticed the two new magical instruments, and his eyes immediately turned red: "Great, no wonder I sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy, it turns out you stole the treasure!"
"What do you mean by stealing?" Liu Ruyan said dissatisfiedly, "This magical weapon recognized its master on its own!"
"Bullshit!" Tieshan shouted angrily, "This is an ancient relic, and the treasures inside are all ownerless.
Since you have taken it, you must hand it over!"
He raised his sword: "Either hand over the treasure, or..."
Before he could finish his words, a gust of cold air rushed towards him. Tieshan raised his sword to block it, but the cold air was too strong and froze the sword into ice.
"Crack!" The ice shattered and the big knife broke.
"This..." Tieshan stared at Broken Blade in amazement.
Not to be outdone, Liu Ruyan swung her Fire Spirit Sword. A stream of flames swept towards the thin young man, burning his clothes to tatters.
"Ah!" The thin young man quickly hid behind Tieshan.
"Now," the Saint said calmly, "do you still want the treasure?"
Tieshan swallowed his saliva, looked at the broken knife, then at the magical weapons in the hands of the two women, and suddenly turned around and ran: "Junior brother, retreat!"
The thin young man also ran away, shouting as he ran: "Brother, wait for me!"
Watching the two fleeing in panic, Liu Ruyan laughed so hard she couldn't straighten her back. "These two cowards, how dare they come treasure hunting with such little guts?"
"Let's go." The Saint said, "Now that we have the treasure, it's time for us to leave."
"But..." Zi Xiao looked around, "How do we get out?"
The Saint took out the jade slip and said, “Xuan Ji mentioned in the records that the secret realm has multiple exits.
We just have to find one of them.”
"Then what are we waiting for?" Liu Ruyan rubbed her hands together, "Let's find a way out!"
The three of them advanced along the edge of the stone chamber, searching for a possible exit. The newly acquired magical weapon gave the two women a boost of confidence, and even their steps became much lighter.
