Chapter 484: Episode 14 Chapter 57 Three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures

In the winding corridors of the Artifact Hall, Qin Yu followed beside Uncle Fu, advancing further and further. Observing the walls on either side of the corridor, Qin Yu felt very at ease. The walls of the Artifact Hall’s passageway were carved with various reliefs, all depicting scenes of nature, and the aura of flowing clouds and streaming water enveloped him.

"Uncle Fu, looking at these reliefs, the sculptor must have been a master of their craft. Do you know who sculpted these reliefs?" asked Qin Yu. In his mind, the Artisan God Che Hou Yuan held such high status that he wouldn’t likely spend time slowly doing the carvings himself.

"All these reliefs were personally sculpted by the master himself," Uncle Fu’s reply surprised Qin Yu.

"You’re saying all these were sculpted by Senior Che Hou?"

"Yes," Uncle Fu said with a look of admiration, "As the number one Artifact Refining expert in the Divine World, one needs to understand a lot. For example, the ability to collect ores and search for treasures, the ability to set up Array Formation Restrictions, the ability to control flames, the ability for sculpture and painting... To become an Artifact Refining expert, one needs to be proficient in many things."

"Moreover, an Artifact Refining expert is usually also an Alchemy expert, even though the difficulty of Alchemy is a notch lower than Artifact Refining. The most important thing in Alchemy is the Alchemy Furnace, along with the control of the flames, and the understanding of various materials and their medicinal properties... Of course, Alchemy is still much easier compared to Artifact Refining," Uncle Fu said with a smile.

Qin Yu listened carefully.

He had long decided he wanted to become an Artifact Refining Master on par with Che Hou Yuan, or even one who was more formidable.

"Does Artifact Refining need so many conditions?" Qin Yu was quietly astonished.

Uncle Fu responded with a light smile, "Of course, to become an Artifact Refining Master, you need to know and understand many things, but the most difficult, most important, and most fundamental is—understanding Array Formation Restrictions."

"Qin Yu, you must know that every Artifact Refining Master is an Array Master!" Uncle Fu affirmed. "You have to set up powerful Array Formation Restrictions within the weapon the very moment it takes shape, without any impact on the weapon’s structure, so as to maximize its power... In short, Artifact Refining is very complicated."

Qin Yu laughed.

"Complicated Artifact Refining? Doesn’t that mean there are fewer Artifact Refining experts in the Divine World?" Qin Yu felt a rush of excitement. The fewer the Artifact Refining experts, the higher his status could be.

At this moment, Qin Yu and Uncle Fu arrived at a rather spacious hall.

The hall was elegantly arranged, with one corridor in each of its four corners. Qin Yu and Uncle Fu had just entered through one of these passageways.

"These three passageways represent three different levels of treasures. The first corridor has the most rooms, but the items inside are also the most ordinary," Uncle Fu pointed to a corridor in the opposite corner.

Qin Yu nodded subtly, his gaze immediately shifting to the other two passageways.

"The second corridor is where more valuable items are stored. There are quite a few rooms there too. Follow me," said Uncle Fu as he stepped into the second corridor.

Qin Yu tried to use his Divine Sense to probe the area, but here, his Divine Sense could hardly penetrate very far.

Entering the second corridor, Qin Yu saw several rooms at a glance.

"Uncle Fu, what items are in these rooms?" Qin Yu inquired.

Uncle Fu said with a smile, "The rooms in the second corridor are mainly used to store some Heavenly Divine Artifacts, as well as some rather valuable Refining Materials. Of course, there are also various intriguing and valuable collections."

"Come, let’s enter this room first." Uncle Fu said, pushing open the first room.

Qin Yu followed Uncle Fu into the room, and upon entering, the scene inside transformed dramatically—the room instantly became a huge courtyard spanning hundreds of meters in diameter.

The courtyard floor was paved with stone slabs, and throughout the courtyard, there were square stone counters, each half a person’s height. On top of these counters, there lay a weapon.

At a glance, there were dozens of counters in the courtyard, and atop each was a Heavenly Divine Artifact.

"Sixty-eight Heavenly Divine Artifacts, so many?" Qin Yu’s eyes lit up as he carefully examined each and every Divine Artifact on the counters. Some were heavy war sabers, some were narrow war sabers, some were curved blades, some long swords, some short swords, some soft swords, and some were nine-section whips...

The array of Heavenly Divine Artifacts laid out before him was indeed quite a shock.

"Qin Yu, these sixty-eight Divine Artifacts were all personally made by the master during his free time. Among them, there are forty-two Low Grade Heavenly Divine Weapons, twenty-two Middle Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, and four Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, totaling sixty-eight." Uncle Fu explained.

Qin Yu looked at Uncle Fu with a puzzled expression, "Uncle Fu, why are there so few Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts here?"

"Qin Yu, aren’t you being a bit too greedy?" Uncle Fu chuckled and continued, "Qin Yu, you must understand, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. To create an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, one needs extremely precious materials. You know, an ordinary Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact is comparable to the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, although only to the third-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures!"

Qin Yu began to understand a bit more.

Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures were so powerful because they contained ’Hongmeng Spiritual Energy.’ Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts did not have Hongmeng Spiritual Energy within them, so to reach such power without it, they certainly required extremely valuable materials.

"To make an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, one needs extremely precious materials. The master doesn’t have much power in the Divine World. He can gather ordinary materials himself, but those precious materials are only obtainable by those with great influence or by those who are extremely lucky. The master also obtained some precious materials as compensation when refining artifacts for others." Uncle Fu explained.

Uncle Fu sighed, "The master roamed the Divine World for so many years, and every time he refined artifacts for others, he charged a high price. It was by doing this that he gathered a large amount of precious materials and crafted so many Heavenly Divine Artifacts and Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures!"

"Just in terms of the number of Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, what our master owns is definitely comparable to what one power in the Divine World possesses," Uncle Fu said proudly.

The elevated status of Artisan God Che Hou Yuan in the Divine World was due to his independence from any faction, combined with his status as the number one Artifact Refining Master in the Divine World, which meant that no party dared to offend him.

This was also the reason why Che Hou Yuan had so many treasures and was able to exist peacefully.

"What a pity that this time the master, in his determination to craft a ’Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure,’ spared no expense. The most precious and unique materials, along with many Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, were re-melted by him to extract Hongmeng Spiritual Energy. In reality, much of the wealth of Mishen Palace has already been taken away by the master," Uncle Fu explained to Qin Yu.

"I understand."

Qin Yu fully understood.

Just from Che Hou Yuan’s last words alone, Qin Yu could sense Che Hou Yuan’s longing for the legendary ’Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure.’ That Che Hou Yuan could leave so many things for him was already very considerate.

"Uncle Fu, take me to see the other rooms," Qin Yu said as he turned and followed Uncle Fu out of the room.

The Artifact Hall had three major corridors, and under Uncle Fu’s guidance, Qin Yu had looked at several rooms in the second corridor. Indeed, the items in this second passage were incredibly precious; any item taken at random would be considered an ’Inheritance Treasure’ in the worlds of immortals, demons, and spirits.

"I wonder in which year I will have enough strength to use these precious materials to make Heavenly Divine Artifacts," Qin Yu sighed and left the last room of the second corridor with Uncle Fu.

In Qin Yu’s view, those precious materials would not melt even under the scorching of the Black Divine Fire.

After leaving the second corridor, they returned to the central living room.

"There are only two rooms in the third corridor," Uncle Fu said, pointing to the most important corridor. The walls of this passage were entirely black, decorated primarily with black and red carvings.

As Qin Yu stepped in, he was suddenly startled by a dragon head staring at him with its fiery red eyes.

"Whoosh!" Qin Yu’s heart skipped a beat before he realized it was just a huge sculpture. The entire corridor was one vast sculpture, the dragon exuding a natural domineering aura.

Qin Yu praised inwardly, "Predecessor Artisan God Che Hou Yuan’s sculpting technique has indeed reached a point that could shock the heavens and move gods and spirits. The Divine World’s number one Artifact Refining Master is truly not that simple."

There were only two rooms in this black corridor, one on the left and one on the right.

"The space in this room houses three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, left for you by the master," Uncle Fu said, pointing to the room on the right.

Qin Yu pointed to the left room and asked, "What is in this room?"

"The things stored in the room on the left are the most precious. Don’t rush; after you’ve seen the room on the right, then we’ll look at the left one," Uncle Fu said with a smile as he pushed open the room on the right.

"The most precious?" Qin Yu couldn’t help but wonder, "Even more valuable than the three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures? What could it be?"

"Qin Yu, come inside," Uncle Fu called from the doorway of the room on the right.

Qin Yu responded and put aside his thoughts about the room on the left for the moment. He followed Uncle Fu into the room on the right, where the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures were stored.

As soon as he entered the room, the scene in front of him shifted again. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Whosh~~~"

Before Qin Yu could clearly see his surroundings, he heard the sound of flowing water. He looked towards the sound and found a river with a small boat floating on it.

Qin Yu carefully observed his surroundings.

The room was arranged like a canyon with a river, and a boat drifting in it. On the banks of the river next to a mountain valley stood a stone house, and beside it was a towering gray stone tower.

"Uncle Fu, where are the three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures?" Qin Yu asked, puzzled.

Uncle Fu shook his head and chuckled, "Ha-ha, Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures have their own consciousness. If they don’t want to be found, you won’t be able to see them even if they’re right in front of you. Look carefully... You should be able to see two of the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures now, right before your eyes."

"Right before my eyes?"

Qin Yu scrutinized everything before him with curiosity—the drifting boat, the flowing river, the stone house, the stone tower, and various stones and plants nearby.

"That boat is odd," Qin Yu suddenly focused on the boat.

The river was constantly flowing, but the boat merely rocked back and forth, remaining within the same area, never flowing downstream with the water.

"Yes, that boat is one of the three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures. It’s known as the ’Feiyuan’ Divine Ship, a flying Spiritual Treasure. It’s considered extremely precious even in the Divine World," Uncle Fu said with a smile. "Now look again, what else might be a Spiritual Treasure?"

Qin Yu replied with a hint of helplessness, "I’m not sure. If not that stone house, then it must be that stone tower."

Uncle Fu looked at Qin Yu with surprise and nodded with a smile, "Correct, that stone tower is another one of the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, and a very precious support Spiritual Treasure in the Divine World—the God-locking Tower!"

"The God-locking Tower?" Qin Yu was astonished as he looked at the ordinary gray stone tower, not expecting it to bear such a formidable name.

"As for the third Spiritual Treasure, it resides in that stone house, and it’s the only one of the three treasures that possesses offensive powers," Uncle Fu said with a smile, walking towards the stone house with Qin Yu following close behind.

The stone house was small; stepping inside, there was only a cushion placed in the middle of the floor.

Behind the cushion, against the wall, was a long countertop. Hanging above the countertop was a disc, and on that disc lay a pair of gloves so transparent they were almost invisible!

Qin Yu marveled at the gloves. If one did not observe carefully, they might be missed altogether.

"These gloves are the most offensive among the three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures. They’re called ’Snow Silk Gloves’," Uncle Fu said with a smile. "These three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures left for you by the master will allow you to roam freely in the Divine World once you reach the Heavenly God Realm."

Qin Yu nodded slightly.

He wasn’t clear about the exact uses of these three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures; they required refining before he could understand. But refining Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures was no simple matter.

"Refining these Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures will take time and effort. There’s no hurry for now; let’s go see the other room," Qin Yu said, nodding as he spoke to Uncle Fu, "Uncle Fu, let’s go see the other room."

At this moment, Qin Yu’s mind was still preoccupied with that room, given that the things in the room on the left were more precious than those on the right.
