"Take me to the Gorge right now."
Lin Qiubai was very straightforward. Since there were Low-Rank King-Level Martial Arts, there was no reason to leave them unattended. Anything that could be obtained immediately should be taken without delay to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Alright, I'll take you there right away."
Elder Xiao then instructed Yuan Danqiu to summon a Golden Palanquin, which flew directly over the territory of the Beast Taming Sect.
Although it was a Spirit Beast pulling the carriage, there was not the slightest bump; it was as stable as walking on flat ground. Inside the palanquin, it was resplendent, resembling an emperor's palace!
As Lin Qiubai looked down at the entire Sect from mid-air, he couldn't help but sigh. The Beast Taming Sect truly deserved its former status as one of the top Medium-Grade Sects.
Even though its ranking had diminished now, the grandeur of its past still lingered.
Lush trees lined the paths, and rare flowers bloomed vibrantly, exuding spiritual essence.
Three thousand clear streams twisted down from deep within the flora.
There were flying towers along the paths, interspersed in the air.
Carved eaves and embroidered railings were hidden among the mountain valleys and treetops, emitting a faint glow.
Some buildings sprawled along the mountainside, surrounded by clear streams that wound around them. Stone steps pierced through clouds, meandering into unknown destinations.
There were also several rainbow bridges made of white jade, where Vital Energy swirled. On these bridges, beast-faced figures held celestial pearls in their mouths, floating ethereally. Fairy disciples practiced gracefully on them, chatting and laughing.
Occasionally, a serene lake could be seen, bordered by white jade railings that embraced the azure waves. Within those waves, strange fish darted about while beautiful swans floated gracefully.
It truly is a paradise on earth.
"Impressive."
"If you were to go to Yun Yin Sheng Zong, it would be even more magnificent. The heavenly palaces stretch across the white clouds, looking from afar like the abode of celestial beings."
When mentioning Yun Yin Sheng Zong, Elder Xiao's expression carried a hint of reverence.
The carriage flew for half an hour, and in the distance, a ten-meter-high wall came into view, with the scenery inside and outside the wall changing dramatically.
The carriage landed, and Yuan Danqiu took out a key to push open the tightly shut gate of the sect.
Inside the wall was a desolate ruin, overgrown with weeds, and the buildings had fallen into disrepair, covered in dust.
"Up ahead is the Gorge. Because strange miasma occasionally drifts from around the Gorge, and there have been accidents involving disciples, this area has been sealed off and entry is prohibited for disciples."
The group arrived at the edge of the Gorge, peering over a white jade railing. Their line of sight extended only a few meters down; beyond that was pitch blackness. Thick withered vines hung from the walls of the Gorge, and even strange fruits dangled from the cliff face, emitting a crystalline glow.
A cold wind blew up from within the Gorge.
[Ding! Special location detected. Would you like to pay 4000 Fortune Value to gain entry?]
Lin Qiubai rubbed his forehead.
He currently had only 2900 Fortune Value...
It seemed he needed to accumulate some more Fortune Value!
But right now, there weren't any suitable villains to confront.
Cao Zhendong is dead.
Wei Sanjie’s Fortune value is too high.
The Evil Cultivators that appeared in the Tomb Valley of the Gu Demon Ancestor are all dead without a trace.
The only one who could steal Fortune is Xu Feng from earlier.
Lin Qiubai checked Xu Feng's Fortune value, which barely reached five hundred.
Even if all of Xu Feng's Fortune value were plundered, it would only amount to a little over three thousand Fortune points.
Thinking about the Fortune value, Lin Qiubai rummaged through his storage ring and took out the list of villains he had copied down during his adventure in the Sunset Mountain Range. After glancing at it, a sly smile crept onto his face.
"Alright, I can come back to investigate later. Take me to explore other places in the sect."
The Beast Taming Sect has existed for so long; there must be some good treasures. Lin Qiubai needed to accumulate more Fortune points at this moment, so it would be wise to search for treasures as well. He added, "It would be best to take me around the vicinity of the Treasure Pavilion first."
Upon hearing Lin Qiubai's request, Yuan Danqiu dared not refuse and led Lin Qiubai to the Treasure Pavilion.
A group of people stood in front of the Treasure Pavilion, and Yuan Danqiu introduced it:
"Master Lin, this is the Treasure Pavilion. Disciples from the Origin Realm can only enter the first and second floors.
Disciples from the Yuan Dan Realm can access the third and fourth floors.
Elders from the Creation Realm can enter the fifth floor.
Would Master Lin like to go inside for a visit?"
"Go ahead, if you encounter something you like, I might take it... Don't worry, I won't take too much from you."
Yuan Danqiu's eyelids twitched!
Not take too much?
Well, since I've brought people here, I might as well take a few good items, even if it hurts a little. Let's consider it a long-term investment...
Yuan Danqiu decided to act a bit generous and gestured for them to enter.
'I wonder if I'll find any Special Items, or perhaps some treasures that are actually extraordinary but overlooked?'
Lin Qiubai felt quite excited and stepped into the Treasure Pavilion.
[Ding, identification successful.
Special Items: 3
Royal Items: 2
Spirit Grade items: 845...]
Impressive.
There are actually two Royal Items!
And even three Special Items!
Lin Qiubai was secretly delighted. However, he maintained a calm expression as he casually looked around at the various Spirit Grade and Common Grade items.
Those are the martial arts techniques that Lin Qiubai looks down upon.
"Hmm? This special item is actually on the second floor..."
From a distance, Lin Qiubai spotted the golden light indicated by the Heavenly Path Payment System and walked over at a steady pace. He then picked up the Golden Paper from the bookshelf with slight surprise.
[Common Grade Low-Level Martial Arts: Dual Wielding]
Lin Qiubai was at a loss for words.
This was simply a plain and crude martial arts manual that no one would bother to glance at.
At first glance, it had no lethality whatsoever.
Upon closer inspection, it was a martial art that had no practical application!
After careful consideration, Lin Qiubai almost wanted to throw this martial arts manual away if it weren't for the Heavenly Path Payment System indicating that it had some special significance.
However, Lin Qiubai did have some thoughts.
That is, the concept of Dual Wielding appeared in Jin Yong's novels. Zhou Botong even invented the skill of mutual combat using Dual Wielding.
Later, Xiaolongnv used this to achieve Dual Sword Fusion by herself.
Dual Sword Fusion might be the greatest utility of Dual Wielding, right?
"Who compiled this martial arts manual? Is there any special meaning behind it?"
Lin Qiubai, unwilling to give up, continued to ask.
"This, ah, I remember this volume of Martial Arts. It's not very useful and doesn't have much recorded in it. However, the person who compiled it is quite significant; he was the first generation sect master."
Elder Xiao looked at the page of gold paper, pondered for a moment, and then introduced it.
"I have a bit of interest in this Martial Arts, so I'll borrow it for some time to study."
"Take it then..."
Yuan Danqiu noticed that Lin Qiubai did not rush to take the treasure from the pavilion and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was also quite puzzled.
What is there to study about such a low-grade Martial Arts?
After putting away Dual Wielding, Lin Qiubai immediately ascended to the third floor.
The disciples on this floor greeted Yuan Danqiu and curiously looked at Lin Qiubai, wondering why this young man could come to the third level with only the strength of the first layer of Origin Realm.
Moreover, he was accompanied by the sect master!
"Could he be a prince?"
Thinking of this, the disciples looked in awe. After Lin Qiubai walked far away, they began to whisper and discuss.
Lin Qiubai naturally paid no attention to this group of disciples.
He went straight to the storage area, rummaged around until he found the key indicated by the system prompt. He waved it in front of Yuan Danqiu and then put it away in his storage ring.
Special Item.
It may not be useful at the moment, but it could bring great benefits in the future, a big Fortune!
So Lin Qiubai will not miss it!
After clearing the first three levels, Lin Qiubai arrived at the fourth level.
The fourth level is very spacious, and besides books, many items are placed on the shelves.
Some are heads with weapons stuck in them, some are translucent beast bones, and some are extraordinary-looking eyeballs.
However, the Special Item indicated by the system is a piece of Amber the size of a baby's fist.
The Amber has a murky color, with half of it being a blurred black; at first glance, one cannot tell what is wrapped inside.
But just a closer look was enough to leave Lin Qiubai speechless with shock because there is a creature encased within the Amber.
This kind of creature is difficult for others to identify; even those who have seen much may not recognize it, but Lin Qiubai only needs one glance!
He knows exactly what it is!
