Chapter 179 Treasure House Blind Box
"Well, let Concubine Chan open it first."
"Good good!"
Yuechan jumped off the wooden box excitedly, turned around and opened it carefully.
The box was a bit heavy, and when Yuechan pushed it open, there was a series of creaking noises.
The lid of the wooden box was just half opened when she suddenly screamed and jumped away. With a 'bang' the lid of the wooden box slammed down again, and a loud noise was heard in the empty treasure house.
"What's wrong, Princess Chan?"
Zheng Yi took a step forward and quickly hugged the frightened Yuechan in his arms.
Chen Liancang also flashed in the first moment and stood in front of Zheng Yi.
Concubine Cui and Concubine Yu also clasped their hands together, ready to go.
"No, I'm fine."
Yuechan whispered: "That, that is not a wooden box, it is, it is a coffin!"
"There's a body inside!"
"Ok?"
Zheng Yi frowned and raised his head to signal.
Chen Liancang nodded, quietly walked to the coffin, put one hand behind his back, and quietly opened it.
With a "squeak", another unpleasant friction sound was heard. After pushing halfway, Chen Liancang pushed upwards suddenly.
With a "bang", the lid of the coffin was pushed open, revealing the contents inside.
After waiting for a few breaths and seeing no movement, Chen Liancang said, "Your Majesty, it's not a corpse, it looks like a puppet."
"puppet?"
Zheng Yi leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, although there was a human-like figure in the coffin, it was not a corpse.
It is a puppet made of special materials.
The entire skin is black and red, and the eyes have no pupils, but are made of special black crystals.
The mouth is tightly closed, looking like some kind of mechanism.
There are densely packed special lines on the surface of the skin, which cannot be seen unless you look closely.
"puppet?"
Yuechan leaned her head over to take a closer look, then patted her own fierceness, trembling.
"It's not a corpse. I thought it was a dead person. I didn't expect it to be a puppet."
The other two women also came over and looked him up and down.
"This puppet looks exactly like a corpse. No wonder Sister Chanfei got so scared."
"Yeah, if you don't look carefully you really can't tell. This mouth, these eyes, these ears all look like some kind of mechanism..."
Yuechan looked towards the innermost part and suddenly said, "Huh? Your Majesty, look, there is a piece of paper here!"
Chen Liancang took it and handed it to Zheng Yi respectfully.
Zheng Yi opened it and looked at it, his eyes lit up slightly.
"This thing... is actually a Jindan-level puppet!"
"what?"
The four of them were all stunned, and after tightening their grip, they said, "A puppet in the Golden Core Realm? Is this true?"
"Wow! What I picked is really great!"
"Golden Core Realm..."
Yes, this thing is indeed a puppet with the combat power of the Golden Core Realm!
The records on this piece of paper are obviously one of the treasures left by Taizu for his descendants.
This puppet is named "Xuan Ye". Its entire body is made of precious spiritual essence and can automatically absorb spiritual energy to repair and move the puppet itself.
The skeleton is a fusion of the four-legged gold-devouring beast of the fourth-level monster. It is very hard and flexible. It can move in any harsh environment and travel a thousand miles a day.
The eyes are made of Five Spirits Colorful Crystals, which can cause hallucinations and stun opponents, making them hard to defend against.
In addition to these basic functions, this puppet also has three top-grade magical weapons inside its body.
They are: Dragon Slaying Sword, Blazing Flag and Wind Walker Boots.
The attack, defense and speed of this puppet have been strengthened respectively, making it an essential weapon for murder, arson and robbery!
In addition to recording the manufacturing materials and usage methods of this puppet, this piece of paper also records a method on how to refine the core of this puppet.
As long as Zheng Yi refines the core of this puppet, he can control it at will.
Of course, if Zheng Yi wants to fully control this puppet now, he needs two prerequisites.
First, his cultivation must reach the foundation-building stage.
Only cultivators in the foundation-building stage can possess divine consciousness and completely control this puppet.
Second, every time you control this puppet, you must place a medium-grade spirit stone inside the puppet's body.
Each medium-grade spirit stone can enable the puppet to move for a quarter of an hour.
Casting spells, controlling magical instruments, etc., will consume even greater amounts of energy.
Of course, the best way is to use high-quality spirit stones.
Unfortunately, Zheng Yi doesn’t have any mid-grade spirit stones, let alone spirit sand.
If you want to control this puppet, you have to wait a little longer.
"Okay, stop looking."
Zheng Yi attracted everyone's attention and said, "Keep this thing for now. We don't have any spirit stones, so we can't use it even if we practice it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Who's going to choose something next?"
"Just look at me first, okay?"
Concubine Cui smiled and said, "Although the wooden box in my hand doesn't look big, it is very light."
"I have heard from my master that all the light treasures in the world of cultivation have very special properties."
"It's either a jade slip with some information recorded on it, or it's a special material for refining equipment." "I just don't know what the thing in this wooden box in my hand is?"
Yuechan regained her interest at this time, and came over and said, "Open it and you will know."
Under the expectant eyes of several people, Concubine Cui slowly opened the wooden box.
Yuechan and Yufei leaned over and looked over.
"Is this... a silver needle?"
"What a delicate silver needle."
“There’s paper here, too!”
Concubine Cui took out the paper from the wooden box, unfolded it and began to read.
"The Seven Evil Soul-Destroying Needles are top-grade magic tools, made from the essence of the spirit mixed with the evil spirit of heaven and earth. They are very effective in breaking through the protective magic shields and magic tools of cultivators."
"It also has a strong corrosive effect on the bodies of cultivators, making their movements hidden and avoiding detection by the cultivators' divine senses...hiss..."
Before she finished reading the contents on the paper, Concubine Cui took a breath of cold air.
Even the other people looked a little shocked.
Yu Fei even said: "Master once said that among all the types of magic tools in the cultivation world, needle-type magic tools are the most insidious and treacherous, making it difficult to guard against them."
"Moreover, the refining materials that can be used to refine needle-type magic tools are extremely rare. I didn't expect that there is actually a set here, and it is a top-grade magic tool!"
"Your Majesty, even thousands of years ago, this item could have been sold for at least 100,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Cui felt that the wooden box in her hand weighed more than a thousand pounds, and she quickly put it on the platform.
"This item is too precious, I would rather..."
"I'll give it to you."
Zheng Yi interrupted Concubine Cui and said, "This item is called the Seven Evil Soul-Destroying Needle, and the technique you practice is the Su Nu Yin Sha Gong, which is very suitable for you."
"Besides, this item was obtained by you. It is destined to be with you, so it should be in your hands."
Imperial Concubine Cui was somewhat tempted, but still shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, it is still too precious. I, your concubine..."
Zheng Yi directly picked up the wooden box and stuffed it into Concubine Cui's hands: "I told you to take it, so just take it. Why are you being so shy?"
"You are the most suitable person to use the Seven Evil Soul-Destroying Needles. Who among me, Concubine Chan, Concubine Yu, or Old Chen knows how to use needles?"
"Besides, there are only you and me four monks in the entire palace. If you don't need it, who will you give it to?"
Concubine Cui thought about it, and finally put it away, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I will practice hard to repay your majesty!"
"My dear, you are too kind."
Zheng Yi smiled and looked at Concubine Yu again: "I wonder what good things Concubine Yu has in her hands?"
Concubine Yu took out the wooden box behind her. The wooden box was about three feet long and more than one foot high, and looked like a musical instrument case.
"When I hold this item in my hand, I feel a chilling wind blowing. It should also be a Yin attribute magical weapon."
As she spoke, Yu Fei opened it.
Sure enough, there was a two-foot square small flag placed in the wooden box. The whole flag was khaki in color and looked very simple and quaint.
However, it was engraved with densely packed and tiny tadpole-like runes, which looked like hundreds of ghosts entangled together and was very strange.
"This thing..."
Yu Fei had an expression that said "as expected", and there was a piece of origami in the wooden box.
After opening it, Yu Fei read out after a few breaths, "The Huangquan Soul Summoning Banner is a top-grade magical instrument. Only the inner disciples of the Huangquan Sect are qualified to exchange it for a magical instrument from the sect."
"It is said that it is made of the fur of ghosts from the underworld, and contains a world of ghosts in Xumi. You can hold this banner to summon souls and ghosts and drive them away..."
As she was reading, Concubine Yu handed the paper to Zheng Yi.
"Your Majesty, this item seems to be the signature magic weapon of Huangquan Sect's disciples."
After taking the paper, Zheng Yi pondered for a while and handed it to Chen Liancang.
"Mr. Chen, this is a reward for you."
"You don't have to refuse. As long as you are loyal to me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
"You have been loyal to me for so many years, and you have completed my orders meticulously and completely. This is a reward for you."
Chen Liancang was so excited that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
This item is extremely precious. I never thought that His Majesty would give it to me as a reward.
For a moment, Chen Liancang was very excited, and was filled with the feeling of "a gentleman will die for his friend".
"Stand up, Mr. Chen. It's your turn now. I wonder what good stuff you picked out."
Chen Liancang stood up and said, "Of course, what this old servant has picked cannot compare to what the three ladies and your majesty have picked."
As he said this, he opened the stopper of the jade bottle and poured some liquid out.
Concubine Cui said: "Master once said that elixirs are stored in jade bottles to preserve their medicinal properties for a long time."
"I just wonder what's in the jade bottle in Elder Chen's hand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pill the size of a dragon flame rolled out of the jade bottle.
The entire pill is black and red in color, but there is no glow on the surface and no medicinal smell.
Instead, tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the pill, which was very strange.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Several people were full of doubts, and Old Chen simply turned over the jade bottle and poured out ten almost identical pills in one breath.
In addition to these pills, Chen Liancang also pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom of the jade bottle.
“There’s origami here, too!”
"Mr. Chen, take a look at what's written on it?"
Chen Liancang hesitated and said, "This pill is called... Foundation Building Pill."
"What? Foundation Building Pill!"
