The Key to the Shangqing Arsenal
"You're twisting words and forcing logic!"
Yang Xueyi glared at Luo Zheng. With a flick of his hand, a black light shot out of Luo Zheng's hand. "I'll return it to you!"
"Thank you, Hall Master."
Luo Zheng smiled and kept the black light in his Ring of Cosmos.
This black light was naturally not the Gate of No Return, but another Dao Artifact that Luo Zheng had obtained from the Night Saint.
However, this was only a mid-grade Dao Artifact. Luo Zheng had disguised it slightly and did not activate the Dao Artifact's power, so he could fool some people.
"Don't be so cheeky. Take out that gray metal token!"
Yang Xueyi stretched out his hand.
"Here!"
With a flick of Luo Zheng's finger, the metal token landed in Yang Xuezhu's slender and fair hand. He asked, "You want me to retrieve this metal token. Can you tell me the purpose of it now?"
"This metal token is the key to the Shangqing Arsenal. The treasures that the Shangqing Ice Palace obtains from the arsenal every year are only a small part of the collection. Only this metal token can open the true treasury and obtain all the treasures!"
Yang Xueyi lowered his voice.
"Oh! I see that the Elders and Hall Masters of the Shangqing Ice Palace don't seem to know the use of this metal token. How do you know? "
Luo Zheng was shocked, his heart thumping as he immediately asked.
"You don't need to ask. Anyway, I will open the arsenal when the time comes. Because you have the key, I can let you in. Apart from a few items that I must obtain, you can take anything you want from the treasury! "
Yang Xueyi said coldly.
"Hehe, the key is a reward that I deserve. You have no reason not to let me in!"
Luo Zheng smiled and suddenly said, "Right, when I saw the virtual image of the Ice Palace Ancestor in the Sky Inheritance Hall, I realized that you look very similar to that Ice Palace Ancestor. How did you come back?"
"There's no harm in telling you. The Ice Palace Ancestor is actually the Yang Clan Ancestor. I have the Ancestor's bloodline in me. What's so strange about looking similar? Otherwise, do you think the Palace Lord would agree to let me become the Sky Heart Hall Master so easily? "
Yang Xueyi was stunned for a moment before he explained expressionlessly.
"The descendant of the Ice Palace's ancestor? This explanation is half true and half false. If I didn't know that she was the Goddess of the Polar Domain, an innate deity from the upper realm, I would have been fooled by her! "
Luo Zheng snickered in his heart, but he didn't expose her. In any case, he had only asked casually on a whim.
"Those new disciples, as well as the original disciples of Heavenly Heart Palace, will be managed by you in the future. I need to cultivate, so I don't have time to manage them. This is the treasury of the Tianxin Hall. There are pills and cultivation techniques inside. You can use them as you wish. Alright, I have something to say to Rongyue. You can go first. "
When Yang Xueyi saw Luo Zheng's expressionless face, he waved his hand and flicked a key, gesturing for him to leave.
"You sure are relaxed."
Luo Zheng smiled bitterly but did not refuse. He took the key and walked out of the hall.
Last time, Yang Xueyi had attracted a strong enemy by himself, allowing Luo Zheng to focus on dealing with the experts of the Profound Emperor Taoist Sect.
Although he didn't say it out loud, he remembered it deeply in his heart.
Whether Yang Xueyi was an innate deity or the descendant of the Ice Palace's ancestor, Luo Zheng would repay him.
Before Luo Zheng reached the square, he heard many voices. Before he could speak, mocking voices rang out.
"Hehe, everyone, look! The number one genius of the entrance examination is here!"
"Senior Brother Luo Zheng must have gotten a lot of benefits from being called by the Hall Master, right?"
"Even if there weren't any other benefits, he must have given some pointers. The Hall Master didn't even look at us disciples before leaving!"
"If that's the case, why did he choose us to enter Heavenly Heart Palace? Why don't we quit and join another palace? "
Seeing Luo Zheng suddenly appear, everyone was shocked. But when they remembered that he had returned the high-grade Dao weapon to Yang Xueyi, they no longer had any qualms.
"Don't worry, the Hall Master has already asked me to make arrangements for your cultivation."
Luo Zheng wasn't angry. He comforted them and said, "Moreover, our Heavenly Heart Palace has fewer people, which is also an advantage. When the cultivation resources are distributed to everyone, we will have more than the disciples of the other palaces."
In Luo Zheng's opinion, although the Heavenly Heart Palace was weak, it was definitely better than joining the other palaces.
Yang Xueyi was also the reincarnation of a deity, and an innate deity at that. Such an existence was more likely to be the ancestor of the Ice Palace.
As long as they could get some pointers from her, the benefits would be unimaginable.
However, Yang Xueyi had a cold personality and didn't like to interact with others. After awakening the memories of her previous life, she was even more so.
This time, although she didn't personally make arrangements for these new disciples, she still handed the key to the treasury to Luo Zheng.
Although she didn't say it out loud, letting Luo Zheng use it as he pleased meant that he shouldn't mistreat these new disciples.
"Hmph hmph, arrangement? What kind of arrangement can you have? Don't think that just because you were the first to be chosen by the Hall Master, you can act like a senior brother!"
"He's only at the Heaven Phase Stage. I don't know what's so good about him, but the Hall Master actually chose him first."
"Maybe he has some special physique and has great potential. He's worth nurturing, but if he's compared to me now, he'll definitely be beaten to a pulp by me!"
