Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 426: Rewards 3

[How many do you see?] Shen Xu asked.

[Seven.] Zhen Yuan answered and began pointing them out.

[The attributeless shelf has three treasures. The red-jointed purple bamboo on the third row, the sixth crystal from the right and the orb on the second row.]

[The water element shelf has the aquamarine stone on the bottom row. Similarly, the third fan on the wind element shelf, the monster horn on the second row of the fire element shelf, and the white lightning branch on the lightning shelf.]

[What’s special about them?] The double asked, and Zhen Yuan answered as they walked around the room.

[The red-jointed purple bamboo looks ordinary, but if you look closer, you will notice it has nine knots on each joint.] He said, and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be excited.

Although the red-jointed purple bamboo was a rare material for refining weapons, it wasn’t as good as some of the other materials they had.

However, the knots on the joints meant the bamboo was actually not the red-jointed purple bamboo but the more precious heavenly knots purple bamboo.

[How did the elders miss this?] Shen Xu asked with a shocked expression.

[The heavenly knots purple bamboo is a rare treasure that hasn’t been seen in the Tianxuan continent in millions of years. It’s not strange that the elders confused it for the red-jointed purple bamboo.] Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu smiled.

The red-jointed purple bamboo was a weapons refining treasure, but he heavenly knots purple bamboo was a level nine cultivation treasure.

Each knot contained a drop of heavenly bamboo dew, and nine drops could allow a tribulation transcending realm cultivator to advance a small realm.

Unfortunately, the bamboo only had two joints and consequently, eighteen knots; meaning its heavenly dew was only enough for two people.

That said, Shen Xu was happy because having the dew meant one less worry.

[We are so lucky.] He exclaimed, and Zhen Yuan chuckled.

[The crystal is the hidden colour crystal.] He said, and Shen Xu narrowed his eyes before speaking.

[If I am not mistaken, the hidden colour crystal is a soul-guarding treasure. After contracting it, a cultivator’s soul would be protected from seizing and soul control techniques.] He said.

[You are right.] Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

[Although you have your father’s bracelet, I would be more assured if you had the crystal.] He said, and Shen Xu understood.

After all, the effectiveness of the bracelet relied on his father’s well-being, while the crystal would be tuned to himself.

[I know.] Shen Xu agreed.

[As for the orb, it contains the water from the netherworld river.] Zhen Yuan said, and the double subconsciously recoiled.

He still recalled the yellow liquid they saw in the Ghost Village.

Thinking that the orb contained that water, he couldn’t help but want to stay away from it.

However, he soon realised something and narrowed his eyes.

[I didn’t expect there was something that could hold the nether water without being eroded.] He said.

[I am not very familiar with netherworld treasures, so I don’t know what the orb is made of. We will study it when we have time.]

[Good.] Shen Xu nodded and asked about the other treasures.

[The aquamarine stone has a drop of extreme yin water, the fan is refined from the rare green-winged cicada bat, the horn has a hidden space, but I can’t see what is inside, and the lightning on the branch has a strand of strange lightning fire.]

Shen Xu was surprised when he heard this, and his heart surged with excitement.

[I feel like I want to participate in challenges every day.] He said, and Zhen Yuan chuckled.

After collecting the treasures, the two went to the third floor, and as before, Zhen Yuan pointed out the treasures.

[There are eight treasures.] He said, and Shen Xu frowned.

[Just eight? We are missing one.] He said, but what could they do?

After all, they couldn’t enter the fourth floor to continue searching.

[Nineteen treasures are enough. Also, we can pick one of the lower quality treasures and exchange it for something we need when we have an opportunity.]

[Okay.] Shen Xu said.

[Which treasures do we want?] He asked, and Zhen Yuan smiled before speaking.

[XiaoXu, do you see the black box on the attributeless shelf?] He asked, and Shen Xu nodded.

[I don’t know what is inside, but it has complex fire laws.]

[Could it be a fire?] Shen Xu asked, but Zhen Yuan shook his head.

[It’s not a fire.] He said, but couldn’t say more about it.

As before, the two collected the eight treasures and chose a gold element liquid as the last.

When that was done, they registered the items and left the treasure house with Luo Jianfeng in tow.

"Are you returning to the wine shop or choosing a location for your mountain?" The swordsman asked.

"We are going to the wine shop." Shen Xu answered.

On one hand, they wanted to replenish the shop supplies, and on the other, they needed to prepare before setting up their mountain.

Most importantly, they needed to rendezvous with the puppets and collect the loot from the three Lin family members.

’I will also take the chance to arrange formations on the mountain. That way, we can activate them directly when we set up the mountain." Zhen Yuan thought.

When they arrived, the three found that the shop was more crowded than usual.

At a glance, all the wine was gone, but the guests were still lingering inside and outside the shop.

"Alchemist Shen, I want to order a pill. Is it possible?" Someone shouted, hoping to get ahead of the competitors.

"I also want to order a pill."

"A few of us have accepted a task and want to invite fellow Daoist Zhen to break the formation."

In this way, the gathered people shouted their requests and the two couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.

’We seem to have neglected this side-effect of being famous.’ Shen Xu thought, sighed and began speaking.
