Chapter 322: Chapter 265: Using the Elixir from the Tree of Life_1
“Six-yang Divine Fire Mirror, Luminous Fan, Green Flame Band, Red Jade Silks, Brahman Crossbow, Departure Fire Bell, Great Sun Gold Needle.”
Looking at the names and images of the seven magic artifacts displayed on the tablet, Chen Mobai felt that the two credit points were well spent.
“No one knows for sure how many Rank-3 magic artifacts are in the Treasure Trove, even the Principal doesn’t have a clear idea. The Map of Treasures inherited by our Student Council only lists those that are known for sure to exist.”
Lu Tiansuan took down Chen Mobai’s contact details and sent him a file containing the search results.
“That means, these seven Rank-3 magical artifacts are definitely somewhere in the Treasure Trove.”
Upon receiving the file, Chen Mobai couldn’t hide his excitement.
He knew that in the Tianhe Realm, even the cheapest Rank-3 magical artifacts would cost tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
These artifacts, meant for Golden Core Cultivators, were of high quality and could even serve as embryos for their destined magical treasures, thus their value was immeasurable.
“We can only confirm that these seven devices were once sealed in the Device Nurturing Sphere and placed into the Treasure Trove. Whether they are still there now, we cannot guarantee that.”
Lu Tiansuan was meticulous, his words watertight and free of loopholes.
“After all, some students, even if they find something good, would not readily declare it. So, we can only try our best to perfect the information and contents on the Map of Treasures.”
These were the words of Mi Yudao, who usually earned some credit points by updating information on the Map of Treasures.
“The Device Nurturing Sphere I found earlier likely contains a broken Flying Sword with a gold attribute…”
Chen Mobai sold the details about the Device Nurturing Sphere he had discovered to the Student Council. It was worth one credit point, nothing to be sneezed at.
“Alright, thank you for the information provided.”
After listening to Chen Mobai’s description, Lu Tiansuan, referring to the data maintained by the Student Council from graduates, already had four or five guesses about the origins of this sword.
Once everything was finished, Mi Yudao left with Chen Mobai.
“Junior, are you interested in partnering with me?”
Being skilled in the Earth Escape Technique, Mi Yudao thought that if he could pair up with Chen Mobai’s Art of Spiritual Eyes, they could both easily earn some credit points.
After thinking for a while, Chen Mobai found the idea rather reasonable.
Finding the Device Nurturing Sphere would prove most difficult. After that, using various methods to discover and examine the sealed devices inside was uncomplicated by comparison.
Perfectly, Mi Yudao had found eight Device Nurturing Spheres unrecorded on the Map of Treasures that year: four dead-seals and four live-seals.
The four live-sealed ones were also examined by another True Cultivator from the Student Council who cultivated the Art of Spiritual Eyes. He had to share the one credit point fee earned for the information.
“Since the senior said so, naturally, I am willing. There is no need for any credit points, given that you are the one doing all the hard work.”
Chen Mobai just wanted to broaden his horizon.
Furthermore, finding a Rank-3 artifact himself would probably take an indeterminate amount of time, it would be more effective relying on Mi Yudao, who was more experienced.
“Let’s go.”
Chen Mobai followed Mi Yudao to a Device Nurturing Sphere hanging at a tunnel entrance.
Activating his Void Spirit Eye, he saw inside a bell-shaped artifact as though guarding the cave tunnel, absorbing Fire spiritual power.
Next, they visited three more sites with live-sealed artifacts.
He saw inside a Pagoda, a Jade Page Book, and a Water Divider Fork.
“Excellent, excellent. Junior, your Art of Spiritual Eyes is no worse than Vice President Ming. The items you saw are identical.”
After testing Chen Mobai’s mettle, Mi Yudao nodded approvingly.
He then took Chen Mobai to inspect the remaining four dead-seal Device Nurturing Spheres.
Despite all his efforts, Chen Mobai was unable to see the shape of the devices inside.
“In this Device Nurturing Sphere, Vice President Ming saw a square shadow. He suggested it might be a box.”
Pointing to a Device Nurturing Sphere placed in the underground stream, Mi Yudao said something that took Chen Mobai aback.
Considering this Device Nurturing Sphere was dead-sealed, being able to peer through the seal meant that Vice President Ming’s Art of Spiritual Eyes exceeded his own.
“Not necessarily so, it’s just that his Art of Spiritual Eyes leans towards the water attribute. So if the sealed device also has a water attribute, he can see a vague image.”
After hearing Chen Mobai’s exclamation, Mi Yudao, shaking his head, explained the reason.
“What about you? What attribute does your Spirit Eye possess?”
“Fire, I guess.”
Chen Mobai hesitated briefly before offering a hypothetical attribute.
In fact, the Void Spirit Eye does not lean towards any particular attribute, it is the most popular and adaptable Art of the Spirit Eye in the Immortal Sect.
“It’s a pity. If only it were Gold or Earth attributes.”
Wearing a face of regret, Mi Yudao lamented. His True Spirit Root bore dual attributes—Gold and Earth. For this reason, he could cultivate the Earth Escape Technique, freely traveling under the earth’s surface.
This is why he spent so much time in the Treasure Trove, in search of a Rank-3 magic artifact suitable for him.
However, no Rank-3 magical artifact has been unearthed in the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy for nearly two decades.
After bidding him farewell, Chen Mobai randomly chose a tunnel entrance, set up an Array Prohibition to claim the area, and perused the data on the seven Rank-3 magical artifacts given to him by Lu Tiansuan.
Not only were there appraisal reports of the magic artifacts, but there were also biographies of their previous users, and even records of the year they were placed in the Treasure Trove.
