"In addition to the Tang government, I didn't expect the royal family to have so many masters. I have never sensed them before. Are they new recruits?" Shen Luo thought.
Li Shu didn't care about anything else. She turned her hand and took out a golden token. She was about to activate it when a figure flew from a distance and landed beside them. It was the golden-robed young man.
"Brother Zhang, why are you here?" Li Shu's eyes flashed with a trace of unhappiness, but she still maintained a polite expression.
"I am here to get a bottle of Purple Flame Marrow under the order of my master," the golden-robed young man said.
Li Shu nodded and activated the token.
"When the demon beasts were wreaking havoc during the celebration ceremony, I saw from afar that you were besieged by two demon beasts. You seemed to have sustained some injuries. Here's a Constitution Strengthening Pill. Take it, Junior Sister. It will save you from losing your vitality." The golden-robed man took out a small white jade bottle, and handed it over to her in an attentive manner.
"No, it's just a small injury. It won't get in the way," Li Shu refused bluntly.
"Even if it's a small injury, you can't ignore it. This Constitution Enhancing Pill isn't easy to get. Besides healing injuries, it's also very beneficial for cultivation," the golden-robed young man insisted.
"Brother Zhang, I have already said that I will pursue the Way of Immortality wholeheartedly. I won't involve myself in love affairs. You don't have to waste your time on me!" Li Shu's face sank as she saw this scene. It seemed that she was about to get angry. But, she restrained herself and turned around to continue casting the spell. She didn't even take the jade bottle.
The golden-robed young man's face alternated between red and white. A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but he restrained himself immediately.
Shen Luo, who was standing at the side, saw this and sighed inwardly.
Li Shu raised the golden token, cut her finger, and poured a drop of blood into it.
The patterns on the token squirmed as if they were alive. Nine dragon-shaped golden lights suddenly shot out from it and merged with the nine dragons on the door.
A layer of golden light emerged on the dark golden door. The nine dragons moved quickly and finally stopped at the edge of the door. They were connected head to tail to form a frame.
The heavy door made a continuous creaking sound for a quarter of an hour. Then, it stopped and slowly opened.
"Alright, Shen Luo, let's go." Li Shu took back the token, raised her hand to pull on Shen Luo's sleeve, and walked quickly towards the door.
"Could it be that Li Shu wants to use me as a shield to get rid of that golden-robed youth …" Shen Luo was startled.
"Big Brother Shen, please do me a favor and make that annoying Zhang Chuan give up." Li Shu's voice sounded in Shen Luo's ears.
Shen Luo helplessly glared at Li Shu, but he didn't say anything, allowing his sleeve to be pulled into the treasury.
Looking at the scene of the two walking hand in hand, the golden-robed young man's face suddenly turned purple, and the veins on his neck bulged.
However, that person let out a long sigh and barely managed to regain his calm. He didn't enter the treasury, but instead turned around and flew away.
"Alright, that person has already left." Shen Luo pulled back his sleeve.
"Elder Brother Shen, I'm really sorry, but I really have no other way, please forgive me." Li Shu said apologetically.
"What happened? Who was that person just now? "Shen Luo was quite surprised.
Li Shu was the princess of the Tang Empire. Although a hundred years had passed and the current emperor was no longer Li Shu's father, she was still the descendant of the Li Tang Empire. Her status was respected, and she had Yuan Tiangang as her backer. How could she be threatened?
"That person's name is Zhang Chuan, a disciple of the Heavenly Palace. Although the Demonic Calamity has subsided, the Three Realms are gradually becoming chaotic. All the major forces are eager to expand their power. Our Tang Empire dominates half of the land of the Nanzhan Section Continent, and Chang 'an City is located where the dragon veins of the Nanzhan Section Continent converge. It is very helpful for cultivation and has always been coveted by the major forces. In recent years, the imperial court has been trying to rope in allies, and the Heavenly Palace has been quite close to our Tang Empire in recent years. "Li Shu said.
"I see. Then what's the matter with you and Zhang Chuan?" Shen Luo didn't expect that the Tang Empire would also be affected by the chaos of the Three Realms.
"Zhang Chuan is an important figure of the Heavenly Palace. It is said that he has some kinship with the Jade Emperor. He was ordered to stay in Chang 'an and take my master as his teacher to increase the connection between the royal family and the Heavenly Palace. In the Cultivation World, it's not uncommon for a person to join two sects at the same time. However, what's wrong with that Zhang Chuan's head? Ever since he saw me, he's been pestering me, wanting to become my Dual Cultivation Partner. Because he's from the Heavenly Palace, Master can't do anything to him, "Li Shu said helplessly.
Hearing this, Shen Luo completely understood the ins and outs of the matter. He lowered his eyelids and didn't say anything.
This was a matter between the Tang Empire and the Heavenly Palace. Although he and Li Shu were old friends, they didn't have a deep friendship. Moreover, he was no longer a rogue cultivator who needed to protect his fellow disciples. Helping Li Shu block Zhang Chuan once was already extremely benevolent.
Seeing Shen Luo's reaction, Li Shu didn't talk more about this matter. She continued to lead Shen Luo forward.
After passing through a passage, a huge Treasure House appeared in front of them.
The Treasure House was very spacious. It was nearly half the size of the Treasure House of the East Sea Dragon Palace. There were hundreds of wooden and jade shelves placed here.
Every shelf was filled with glowing treasures. Some were spiritual materials, and some were magic treasures. Shen Luo was dazzled by the variety of treasures.
He thought that he was rich now, but compared with the Treasure House in front of him, it was far less.
Moreover, an outsider like him was allowed to enter here. It was definitely not a place where the real precious treasures were stored. The Tang Empire was indeed a great country with unfathomable heritage.
It was obvious that Li Shu had been here more than once or twice. She didn't care about anything else and brought Shen Luo straight to a fiery-red jade shelf in the treasury. There were three spiritual materials placed on this shelf, and even through the fiery-red shield, they could still sense the huge pure Yang aura.
These three Spiritual Materials were a piece of orange-red jade, a piece of light golden bamboo, and a piece of wood more than two feet long. The surface of the wood was flashing a flame-like red light.
Shen Luo didn't pay attention to the other two materials. His eyes only looked at the piece of red wood and didn't move away for a moment.
This red wood was the Fire Qilin Wood that he had been longing for. Its pure Yang aura was stronger than the Fire Qilin Wood obtained in the Fifth Manor. It must be a ten-thousand-year-old Fire Qilin Wood.
Li Shu waved the golden token in her hand. A golden light entered the restriction around the shelf. The red shield flashed a few times and disappeared completely.
"Brother Shen, these three Spiritual Materials are Mysterious Fire Jade, Golden Sun Bamboo, and Fire Qilin Wood. They are all pure Yang Spiritual Materials. They should be of great use to you." Li Shu said.
"Thank you Princess Shu and Imperial Preceptor Yuan. I just don't know if there are other ten-thousand-year-old Fire Qilin Wood in this Treasure House? This thing is very important to me. I am willing to give up the other two Spiritual Materials in exchange for more Fire Qilin Wood. "Shen Luo said.
This piece of ten-thousand-year-old Fire Qilin Wood was not small. It was enough for him to refine two Pure Yang Swords. However, to display the most powerful Pure Yang Sword Array, he needed at least ten Pure Yang Swords.
Li Shu was startled. She took out a jade slip and checked it. It seemed to be a catalog of the Spiritual Materials in the Treasure House.
After a moment, the woman regretfully shook her head and said, "I let Brother Shen down. This piece of Fire Qilin Wood is the only one."
Shen Luo's face flashed a trace of regret. He flicked his sleeve and put away the three Spiritual Materials on the jade shelf.
