Chapter 55: Heavenly Treasure House
In the next few days, Ye Chunyang went back and forth between his residence and the kitchen, just like when he was in Lingyun Sect, and no longer cared about any disputes among the cultivators.
Now his spiritual consciousness and spiritual power have both increased, and his strength is more than doubled than before. Even if he encounters a master of the tenth level of chain qi, he can still deal with him.
But for him, this trip down the mountain is just a formality, and he has no intention of getting involved in the dispute between immortals and demons. After the matter here is over, he will continue to return to the sect to practice in seclusion and strive to build a foundation as soon as possible.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye.
That night, Ye Chunyang was meditating and regulating his breath as usual. Suddenly, a rainbow light flew in from the window and turned into a talisman floating in front of him.
It was a sound transmission talisman. He opened it with spiritual power, and Mu Yunshu's voice came from it: "Zi Shi, bamboo forest outside the city!"
Hearing the voice, Ye Chunyang frowned. Mu Yunshu had successfully sneaked to Princess Xuanyang. He had not heard from her for many days, and thought she had forgotten him. He made an appointment at this time. Could something have happened?
After checking the time, he immediately put on a cloak, covered his whole body in shadow, and quietly left the room.
…
Bamboo forest outside the city.
The autumn evening breeze blew in the bamboo forest, making a "rustling" sound. Walking in it, it was easy to cover up the sound of footsteps.
When Ye Chunyang came here wrapped in a cloak, a slim girl in black was already standing in the bamboo forest. It was the eccentric little senior sister Mu Yunshu.
"Chunyang greets senior sister."
Knowing that this little goblin had a weird temper, Ye Chunyang politely saluted to her after meeting her to avoid trouble again.
"No need to be polite."
Mu Yunshu waved her hand, with a bit of pride in her voice, obviously very happy with the respectful title of this little junior brother.
But suddenly, her eyes condensed, revealing an extremely shocked look.
"Your cultivation has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining?"
Mu Yunshu's face was full of astonishment. Even if ordinary people have good aptitude, it takes at least one or two years to break through. Ye Chunyang was still at the sixth level of Qi Refining before. After not seeing him for a few days, this silly boy has made such a fast progress?
Mu Yunshu felt that he had made a mistake.
"I encountered an opportunity for a breakthrough a few days ago, and I made a breakthrough by luck." Ye Chunyang nodded and acted silly.
Mu Yunshu was able to sense his cultivation, so he did it on purpose. In the future, when he returned to Lingyun Sect, he could use his mouth to attract Su Xueyuan's attention.
"That's no wonder. It's your good fortune to be able to advance."
Mu Yunshu nodded suddenly, and acted like a senior sister. "Did you find any useful information in the kitchen during this period?"
Ye Chunyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he cooperated well and said, "To answer your question, Chunyang hasn't found any information recently, but I heard that many people have come to the capital recently. I guess most of them are immortal cultivators. I wonder if you know anything about this?"
He had already known about the gathering of cultivators at the treasure sale meeting, but he had carefully detected it at the meeting and didn't find Mu Yunshu. I think she probably didn't know about it, so I want to test her this time.
"I asked you to come here late at night for this matter." Although Mu Yunshu was careless, she was quite serious when talking about business.
She nodded seriously and said, "In recent days, many cultivators have indeed gathered in the city, including casual cultivators and some disciples from nearby second- and third-rate sects. They were invited by various princesses to enter a place called Tianmai Treasure House."
"Tianmai Treasure House?" Ye Chunyang was slightly surprised.
"The Tianmai Treasure House is a treasure place opened up by the first generation of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women. She had practiced to the late stage of magic power. The treasure house contains her lifelong cultivation heritage for future generations of royal family to enter and dig."
Mu Yunshu said solemnly: "However, in order to prevent the treasure from being stolen by outsiders, the queen also set up a powerful prohibition when she opened the Tianmai Treasure House, and also used it to train future generations of emperors. If princesses of each generation want to become the successor to the throne, they must enter the Tianmai Treasure House. Only those who pass the prohibition test are eligible to inherit the throne.
"Those foreign cultivators, are they also here for the Tianmai Treasure House?"
"Yes."
Mu Yunshu nodded.
"Originally, only those with spiritual roots in the royal family could enter the Tianmai Treasure House. Before the death of the queen with late magic power, she also passed down her bloodline, and many descendants of immortal cultivation appeared. Unfortunately, after thousands of years, the bloodline has long been diluted. In this generation, only eight of the twenty-seven princesses have spiritual roots. "
At this point, she showed a half-smile and said, "It's ridiculous. In order to compete for the position of crown prince, these eight princesses actually thought of seeking help from outsiders and inviting nearby cultivators to enter the treasure house together in order to pass through the forbidden method safely. The current queen also acquiesced to this matter. Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house?"
Carefully thinking about Mu Yunshu's words, Ye Chunyang suddenly felt a little strange. He remembered that the mysterious girl invited him to explore the treasure a few days ago. Could it be related to this Tianmai treasure house?
After a moment, he shook his head and denied it: "Senior sister, this is wrong. Acquiescing to the princesses to invite foreign help may be the queen's cleverness. "
"Oh? Why do you think so? "Mu Yunshu wondered.
Ye Chunyang was silent for a while, and said: "Now that the royal family of the Kingdom of Daughters has lost its bloodline, they will become mortals in the next generation. As a family of immortal cultivators, the queen must not watch the royal family die out. If she can use external forces to completely excavate the inheritance of the Tianmai treasure house and allow the bloodline to continue, why wouldn't she do it?"
Hearing this, Mu Yunshu was refreshed, and looked at Ye Chunyang with surprise, "I usually think you are like a piece of wood, but I didn't expect you to have some thoughts. It seems that I underestimated you."
"Sister, you are too kind. Chunyang is just making a false guess. As for whether it is true or not, who can really know?"
Ye Chunyang laughed.
In order to avoid the other party's business, he quickly changed the subject and asked: "Since you know the purpose of these cultivators coming to the capital, I wonder what your plan is next?"
"Although the Tianmai Treasury is not a stunning cave, it is also left by a great man in the late stage of magic power. The inheritance can also greatly increase the cultivation level. Most people in the magic way will not miss such an opportunity." Mu Yunshu's face showed a chill, "The palace is now mixed with good and bad people. Maybe there are evil obstacles in the magic sect. If those missing cultivators are really their doing, the matter of the Tianmai Treasury will become tricky!
She paused, as if she had made a decision: "In the next few days, I will continue to try to get close to Princess Xuanyang and let her hire me as a personal maid. I can even reveal my identity when necessary and become her guest of honor. I will enter the Tianmai Treasury with her and wipe out the demons in one fell swoop. "
"What if those demons have high cultivation, how will you deal with it, senior sister?"
Ye Chunyang's face froze for a moment. This little senior sister was too careless, so she had to remind her of a key issue, otherwise she would not be able to complete the task, and even her life would be at stake.
"You don't have to worry about this. I have already inquired about it before. The prohibition of the Tianmai Treasury is only for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. If people of high realms enter, the treasury will collapse and bury everyone inside. This is also the backup plan left by the empress a thousand years ago. Therefore, even if someone from the demons enters, they will only be at the Qi Refining Stage. As long as they are not masters who have reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, I can deal with them. "
Mu Yunshu shook his head firmly, his words revealing a hint of mystery and pride.
But Ye Chunyang was quite surprised to hear this!
What do you mean as long as it is not a master of the tenth level of Qi Refining, it can be dealt with?
This little sister is so arrogant, is it possible that she has also hidden her cultivation like himself?!
Ye Chunyang couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to detect again, but the other party was indeed only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Unless she has other means to isolate himself from detection?
If so, this little sister is very extraordinary.
And the little sister's words made him think of the secret treasure place where the mysterious girl was going to, and he became more and more confused.
At this time, the little sister ignored him at all, She took out a talisman from her Qiankun bag, carved something on it with her two fingers, and then used her spiritual power to sacrifice it. The talisman flew out against the wind and soon disappeared into the night sky.
This talisman was obviously different from the usual communication talismans of the sect. Ye Chunyang didn't know what the woman had arranged in it, but seeing that she didn't want to explain, he didn't ask any more questions.
After offering the talisman, Mu Yunshu waved to him and said, "We have a lot of information at present, but there are still three days before the Tianmai Treasury is opened. I think other cultivators will be invited during this period. If your cultivation is not enough, stay in the palace and wait for my news, so as not to fall into the hands of the demon. I can't save you, senior sister. "
Ye Chunyang smacked his lips, thinking to himself that you should worry about yourself first.
But before he could speak, the little sister suddenly stuffed a fiery red bead into his hand, and said seriously: "This is a medium-level magic weapon, the Fire Spirit Bead, which can save your life at a critical moment, but although this bead is powerful, it can only be used once. Don't activate it unless it is absolutely necessary. "
Ye Chunyang was shocked. Not every Qi Refining disciple of Lingyun Sect can have a medium-level magic weapon. This little sister gave it to him without blinking, which made him conclude that the latter's identity is extraordinary.
And this little sister still did her own thing. Without waiting for him to refuse, she cast a spell and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye, leaving him alone holding the Fire Spirit Bead, standing there with a weird look on his face.
"Although the little girl is not very likable, she is still kind-hearted. But do you really think those people in the magic way are so easy to deal with? "
After accepting the Fire Spirit Pearl, Ye Chunyang shook her head.
Although she knew that Mu Yunshu was not simple, she had fought with demons before, and the opponent was more difficult than ordinary people could imagine. Don't let her become a female martyr instead of a female hero.
Ye Chunyang smiled bitterly. He was not willing to wade into this muddy water. He could eat and drink in the palace and wait for the storm to pass before returning to the sect to report. This matter would be considered completed.
And three days later was the time he agreed with the mysterious woman. It was okay for Mu Yunshu not to let him enter the Tianmai Treasury together, and he could move freely.
However, Mu Yunshu gave her a treasure today, and he couldn't bear to see her die. If there was a chance, he would still repay her favor.
After thinking about it, he put on his cloak again and stepped on the big spoon into the night sky.
