I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 566 White Cloud Grotto Heaven

Daoist Ming Guang waved his hand, collecting a hundred Cloud Pattern Swords, while instructing the little Daoist to store the wine and taking out an account book, writing with a brush as he spoke.

"Note that Yuan Zheng sent a hundred top-grade Mortal Pattern Cloud Pattern Swords, six hundred jars of top-grade Mortal Wine weighing twenty catties each, receiving two hundred and sixty White Cloud Copper Coins."

Setting down the brush, Daoist Ming Guang smiled, "Adding the Cloud Pattern Swords and wine you sent the last two times, you now have three hundred and eighty White Cloud Copper Coins on the temple's account."

Lu Zheng's eyes lit up, "What are these White Cloud Copper Coins used for?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Ming Guang frowned, "Didn't your master tell you?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "No?"

Daoist Ming Guang shook his head again, "Junior Ming Zhang, who knows what he's thinking about all day, how come he didn't tell you anything."

After a pause, Daoist Ming Guang said, "Forget it, I'll tell you. Your tribute to the sect is your token of respect, but the sect can't just receive it without reciprocation. So in the rear hall treasury, besides the assets belonging to the temple, anything individuals place into the treasury is recorded in the account books according to value. We don't let anyone waste their efforts for nothing.

Of course, if you want to take something from the treasury, apart from what the sect issues uniformly, you'll have to use your White Cloud Copper Coins to exchange."

Lu Zheng asked, "So I can use these White Cloud Copper Coins to exchange for items from the rear hall treasury?"

Daoist Ming Guang nodded, raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Exactly, what do you think, want to exchange for some elixirs to further enhance your cultivation?"

Lu Zheng grinned, nodding repeatedly, and flipped out a porcelain bottle, handing it over, "Master Uncle, please take a look for me. Inside this bottle, there are six Three Ginseng Jade Mushroom Pills. How much money can I exchange them for?"

Daoist Ming Guang: ⚆_⚆?

"Master Ming Zhang can't refine elixirs, can he?" Daoist Yuan Lin couldn't help but ask.

Lu Zheng nodded, "That's right, I inadvertently came across an alchemy technique and refined this elixir."

Daoist Yuan Lin: o_O!!!

Daoist Ming Guang was speechless for a moment, reached out to take the porcelain bottle, opened it, and sniffed the medicinal fragrance, somewhat surprised, "It used four kinds of spirit medicines? Although these spirit medicines are not very aged, four types fused together, I estimate that one pill can increase two years of Dao practice."

"How about it?" Lu Zheng asked.

Daoist Ming Guang looked at Lu Zheng with eyes full of astonishment, "Such an elixir, you don't use it yourself but send it to the treasury?"

Lu Zheng laughed, "I still have some left, and besides, this elixir can't be consumed continuously." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Though...well, indeed."

Daoist Ming Guang nodded, once again looking at Lu Zheng, confirming, "Do you really want to exchange this elixir for Copper Coins?"

"Exactly."

"Alright, the value of this elixir is much higher than that of a Mortal Longsword. I will count it as one hundred Copper Coins per pill, six pills total, so six hundred White Cloud Copper Coins for you."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, though the spirit medicine is indeed worth more than the Cloud Pattern Sword and wine, it hasn't reached a new level of breakthrough in value.

This indicates that the modern long swords and top-tier wines, being unique items that can help ordinary disciples and bring enjoyment to senior masters, are indeed quite valuable.

But I can't produce tens of thousands of top-grade Mortal Soldiers, right? That would be rebellious.

"Nephew Yuan Zheng."

"Eh!"

"Is there anything you need, perhaps a duster or a Ruyi Dharma Artifact? You can have Yuan Lin take you for a spin around the treasury, take a look at the materials catalog?" Daoist Ming Guang asked.

Lu Zheng's cultivation is progressing rapidly; he's evidently not in need of any auxiliary elixirs or talismans, but he has not been on the Dao path for long and probably doesn't have any Dharma Artifacts yet, hence Daoist Ming Guang's question.

After all, with these elixirs added, Lu Zheng's White Cloud Copper Coins have already reached nearly a thousand pieces, which is not a small amount.

"Can I?" Lu Zheng's eyes shone, "Thank you, Master Ming Guang!"

"Of course you can, go on, go on." Daoist Ming Guang laughed.

Lu Zheng gave a salute, and under Yuan Lin's guidance, went towards the treasury.

On the way, Daoist Yuan Lin reminded, "Since Junior Brother has obtained another alchemy technique, you can also consult the sect's alchemy techniques more often, gain insights by analogy, and it might benefit your cultivation."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."

Lu Zheng nodded in gratitude; Yuan Lin's advice was indeed golden words and jade sentences.

When the two reached the rear hall treasury, Lu Zheng gazed around, only to find it was a hall not particularly large in scope.

Lu Zheng blinked and looked at Yuan Lin.

Daoist Yuan Lin smiled slightly, "Junior Brother hasn't entered the White Cloud Grotto Heaven yet, has he?"

Lu Zheng's eyes twinkled, "White Cloud Grotto Heaven? I've heard its fame for a long time, but unfortunately, didn't get to see it last time I returned."

Daoist Yuan Lin smiled at his words and gestured, "Then please."

"Then Junior Brother must open your eyes!"

...

White Cloud Grotto Heaven, another world.

Blue sky and white clouds, though no sun is visible, the entire Grotto Heaven is as bright as day.

Looking out, ancient trees sway, mountains and waters flow, there are palaces and pavilions in the mountains, fields and paths in the forests, with birds and beasts appearing sporadically, and Daoists coming and going.

Lu Zheng had just entered and felt a clearer view, the breath was smooth, even more comfortable than being on White Cloud Mountain.

It should be known, the Spiritual Qi on White Cloud Mountain is already much higher than in ordinary places of the Great Jing Dynasty, the air is fresh, the Dao presence is pervasive, making it a famous Daoist cultivation ground.

And within this White Cloud Grotto Heaven, the environment is evidently superior, it is estimated that the probability of medicinal materials gaining spirituality and their age increase much faster than outside.

"Within the White Cloud Grotto Heaven, senior Daoists and high-potential disciples of the temple cultivate, mainly planting spirit medicines, there's also a backup of the Scripture Pavilion and important assets in the treasury."

Daoist Yuan Lin introduced, "Moreover, in the White Cloud Grotto Heaven, the quality of elixirs refined is relatively higher than in the outside world by several grades, so the entire Alchemy Hall is located in the White Cloud Grotto Heaven."

Lu Zheng nodded continuously, and then under the guidance of Daoist Yuan Lin, came to a courtyard with several buildings.

"Nephew Yuan Lin!" An elderly Daoist approached.

"Master Uncle Mingyi!"

Yuan Lin clasped his palms together in salute, "I brought Junior Brother Yuan Zheng to look at the treasury's collections."

"Please!" Daoist Mingyi stepped aside to lead the way.

...

Daoist Yuan Lin didn't hold back, taking Lu Zheng to roughly tour the treasury.

But even this simple act allowed Lu Zheng to greatly expand his horizons.

Piles of spirit stones, spiritual materials as far as the eye could see, shelves filled with elixirs, and stacks of countless talismans, as well as array flags exuding terrifying auras and numerous Dharma Artifacts.

However, such classic scenarios in web novels, of course, weren't present!

In actuality, the most common items in the warehouse were various raw materials, hundred-year-old herbs, jade ore, which could indeed be heaped into mountains. But spiritually infused medicines and materials, as well as finished elixirs, Dharma Artifacts, talismans, etc., although quite numerous, were not as visually overwhelming.

Nevertheless, even so, the treasury of the White Cloud Temple, accumulated over thousands of years, absolutely deserves the title "treasury."

For instance, Lu Zheng saw dozens of kinds of spiritual materials suitable for refining flying swords, ranging from low-grade to high-grade.
