Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 304 - 178: Recruitment Order, Star Map, Treasure Hunt (Part 2)
...
Duolong Lake, within the Water Dragon Pool.
Fu Changsheng looked at the diamond-shaped mirror in front of him, suddenly recalling something, hurriedly called to stop the departing Fu Molan and Yu Qingru.
With a flip of his right hand.
An ancient-looking jade talisman appeared in his hand.
This jade talisman had fallen before the Jade Coffin disappeared, and its shape was nearly identical to the groove in front of the diamond-shaped mirror.
Yu Qingru glanced at it.
Somewhat excited, she said:
"Patriarch, this jade talisman should be the key to the diamond-shaped mirror, try it quickly!"
Fu Changsheng took a deep breath.
With a flick of his index finger.
The jade talisman instantly turned into a beam of spirit light and fell into the groove.
Thud!
Thud!!
The scene was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
Fu Changsheng seemed to hear the sound of their tense heartbeats, his eyes fixed on the diamond-shaped mirror, and after a few breaths:
"Buzz!"
The diamond-shaped mirror actually began to tremble.
Crackling sounds were heard.
The jade talisman was perfectly embedded into the groove, resembling the sound of a key turning.
Immediately after.
Boom!
The diamond-shaped mirror instantly split into two, slowly opening.
A secret chamber came into view.
"It worked!"
Yu Qingru let out a light exclamation, although eager to take a look inside, she knew the importance of priorities, so she silently stood behind Fu Changsheng.
Fu Changsheng did not recklessly enter.
First, he swept with his divine sense.
Seeing no threats inside, he nodded slightly and said:
"Let’s go in."
Once inside.
What greeted their eyes were gleaming stone walls.
Fu Molan, an expert in crafting puppets and researching stone materials, cast a technique into the stone wall, only to see sparks shooting out, and couldn’t help but be shocked:
"Patriarch, this stone wall is forged from Flame Gold Essence."
Before Fu Changsheng could reply.
Yu Qingru couldn’t help but express disbelief:
"Elder Mo, are you referring to the Flame Gold Essence mentioned in the marketplace, specially used for refining fire attribute spiritual artifacts, Tier Three High-Grade spiritual material? This Flame Gold Essence is a rare find in the marketplace, yet the owner of this cave mansion used it to forge the entire room. This is... too extravagant!"
Fu Changsheng was also somewhat shocked.
Immediately, he pointed with the Celestial Thunder Sword.
A sword light struck down.
With a ding sound.
The Celestial Thunder Sword was repelled, yet the stone wall didn’t bear a single mark. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Flame Gold Essence was indestructible.
He originally thought to excavate it back, but now it seemed futile.
Beside him, Fu Molan shook his head and said:
"Even Tier Three attack spiritual artifacts cannot breach Flame Gold Essence, us trying to pry it off is impossible."
Since they were already here.
How could they waste it?
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve, instantly the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower floated before him, and with a point at the tower, from the second floor came a buzz, a Spirit-devouring Insect darted out, and seeing the gleaming wall, it emitted an excited sound, immediately clinging onto the wall, devouring with all its might.
Simultaneously.
The first tower door opened.
Buzzing!
What drifted out looked like a black cloud, but on closer inspection, it was over a hundred thousand Tier One Spirit-devouring Insects cultivated by Fu Changsheng.
With a buzz!
They dispersed and clung all over the walls, frantically devouring.
Every time he entered the training room to cultivate, he brought the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower, so this swarm of Tier One Spirit-devouring Insects had been bred over decades to reach such a scale.
However.
Due to lack of nourishment.
Most were at the Tier One Early-stage and Tier One Middle Stage.
In the blink of an eye.
The walls of the stone chamber were covered by Spirit-devouring Insects, the Flame Gold Essence visibly quickly devoured and refined.
Seeing this, Fu Molan’s face showed shock:
"Patriarch, your Spirit-devouring Insects can actually devour Flame Gold Essence?!"
This was something that even Tier Three High-Grade spiritual artifacts couldn’t breach.
The capability of these Spirit-devouring Insects was truly overpowered.
Looking at these hundreds of thousands of Spirit-devouring Insects, Fu Molan only felt a chill on his scalp, imagining that if facing an enemy, the opponent suddenly summoned a swarm of insects that could devour everything.
He might only have one option—to flee!
The Patriarch’s methods were indeed beyond expectation.
Yu Qingru watched this for a good while before reacting, only feeling a dry mouth.
In the secret chamber besides the stone chamber walls.
There was also a diamond-shaped mirror, inside which were more than a dozen boxes floating up and down.
The intelligence indicated.
Within the Water Dragon Pool was the body refining technique "Nine Heavens Star Technique," evidently in this diamond-shaped mirror. Fu Changsheng felt a hint of excitement, and next to him, Yu Qingru and Fu Molan’s eyes also sparkled.
The owner of the cave mansion forged this secret chamber’s stone walls from Flame Gold Essence.
From this, it can be inferred.
The items within this diamond-shaped mirror must be extraordinary.
Fu Changsheng didn’t rush to retrieve the items:
"Molan, Miss Qingru, let’s first check this diamond-shaped mirror and the other areas of the room for any traps or secrets."
"Yes, Patriarch."
The three split into different directions, crossing to inspect.
After a while.
The three gathered in front of the diamond-shaped mirror, Fu Changsheng used his divine sense to probe into the mirror.
Buzz!
Just like boiling water rolling over.
A mist rose within the mirror, followed by a buzz.
A white box with silver patterns flew out, and with a beckon from Fu Changsheng, the box landed in his palm.
The box was sealed with layers of seals.
With a technique cast.
The seals were undone.
Inside was a yellowish stone block, about the size of a palm:
"Hmm, what kind of spiritual material is this?"
The Yellow Stone emitted no spiritual aura.
It appeared as nothing more than an ordinary rock.
Fu Molan also glanced and shook his head.
Fu Changsheng tried to infuse his divine sense into it, suddenly his eyes widened, discovering that the Yellow Stone actually contained space, and inside was a mu (a unit of area) of herb field, though the spirit plants had withered, the fertile Spirit Soil indicated at least Tier Three Spirit Soil.
