The second floor was no longer pitch-black. Countless luminous stones on the walls were emitting a soft light, brightening up the whole space.
Once inside, even with Ye Chen's state of mind, he could not help but take a deep breath.
So much wealth!
That's right, it was indeed a lot of wealth, because the second floor did not have only one thing, but all of them were very valuable.
Everywhere he looked, there were boxes of gold casually piled up, each box could contain a hundred thousand gold, and there were hundreds of boxes here, which added up to tens of millions of gold, which was comparable to the wealth of a mid-level family. Next to the boxes filled with gold were boxes of jewelry, including rubies, emeralds, top quality agates, crystal necklaces, black pearls, emeralds, and jade, each of which was worth thousands of gold. The total value seemed to be no less than the hundreds of boxes of gold.
Although gold and jewelry were easy to obtain for warriors, once it reached a certain amount, it would still be shocking. Most of the warriors would not be able to earn that much gold in their entire lives. Plus, the difference was that they earned it bit by bit and did not feel like it was a big deal. However, Ye Chen had just obtained such a huge amount of wealth all of a sudden.
"Let's put it away first."
Ye Chen waved his hand, and the boxes of gold and jewelry flew up into the air, falling into the storage ring.
"Yeah! The low-rank storage ring is full! " These boxes were too big, there were five hundred of them in total, and the low-rank storage ring was only one tenth full. Fortunately, Ye Chen still had a few low-rank storage rings and one mid-rank storage ring.
After taking all the gold and jewelry, Ye Chen's eyes fell on the ground next to him.
There were boxes of low-rank soul stones and a lot of mid-rank soul stones. A shocking amount of Yuan Qi from the soul stones gathered in the air, forming images of dragons, tigers, phoenixes, and tortoises.
"One hundred boxes of low-rank soul stones, five boxes of mid-rank soul stones, each box contains ten thousand."
Ye Chen's breathing sped up. The gold and jewelry had only slightly surprised him, but the amount of soul stones had shocked him. He was sure that the Sky Cloud Martial School's ten years of savings would not even have a million low-rank soul stones, not to mention fifty thousand mid-rank soul stones.
"Keep!"
Without saying a word, Ye Chen put them all into his storage ring.
With over six hundred chests gone, the space on the second floor suddenly became much wider. Looking around, all the other treasures could be seen.
There were three gourds of pills.
The gourd was filled with Qi Replenishing Pills.
The gourd contained Essence Replenishing Pills.
The gourd was filled with Spirit Replenishing Pills.
The three kinds of dans were auxiliary dans that could enhance the human body's essence, qi, and spirit. They didn't seem to be of much use, but they could double the speed of a martial artist's cultivation. It should be known that the so-called innate talent was actually the exuberance of essence, qi, and spirit. Therefore, those with innate talent would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating Zhen Qi. For example, Ye Chen's spirit, which was his soul force, was very strong. His comprehension was far beyond ordinary people, and his cultivation speed of martial arts was inconceivably fast. If his essence and qi could keep up, then his cultivation speed of Zhen Qi would reach the level of innate talent. Of course, during this period, he couldn't stop taking the Supplement Qi Dan and Supplement Essence Dan.
"There are three hundred dans in one gourd. If I take one every three days, I can use it for almost nine hundred days." In Ye Chen's eyes, these three gourds of pills were priceless treasures. In fact, they were indeed priceless treasures. If he took them out for auction, even Astral Reaching Realm martial artists would be tempted, or even go crazy. It should be known that the methods of making pills were usually in the hands of the big martial institutions, and the top level pills were in the hands of the super martial institutions.
"An innocent man's wealth will get him into trouble. These three gourds of pills are enough to make an Astral Reaching Realm martial artist kill me." Putting the gourd into his storage ring, Ye Chen thought to himself.
He walked to the corner, where there was a bookshelf.
On the bookshelf were secret manuals.
On the top floor were top rank Mortal Realm secret manuals, thirty-six in total.
Below that were low-rank Earth Realm secret manuals, nine in total.
Below that were three mid-rank Earth Realm secret manuals.
And at the bottom was a high-rank Earth Realm secret manual.
Without reading it, Ye Chen put it away. He planned to read it when he had the time. Even if he read it now, he wouldn't have the time to cultivate.
Whooo!
Letting out a heavy breath, Ye Chen looked around. The second floor had been cleaned out by him, and nothing was left.
"Let's go to the third floor!"
His body flashed, Ye Chen flew towards the stairs.
Unexpectedly, the third floor was completely empty. There was only a door of light standing in the center, emitting a fine light.
Standing in front of the light door, Ye Chen was a little surprised.
He didn't know where this light door would transport him to. The unknown always made people hesitate, and Ye Chen was no exception.
"It took me a lot of effort to find this place. If I don't go in, I will regret it."
Making up his mind, Ye Chen stepped into the light door.
Whooo!
The space rippled like water, and the next second, Ye Chen disappeared into the light door.
Having experienced teleportation once, Ye Chen was much calmer this time, and his mind was calm.
After a moment, or maybe a day or two, Ye Chen's body relaxed, and he found himself in a magnificent stone room.
The stone room didn't have a door, and was surrounded by walls. On the ceiling was a shining crystal lamp, and below the crystal lamp was a stone table. On the stone table, a forearm-length huge key was floating. The key was white, as if it was made from a white crystal, and looked very simple and unadorned.
"So strange, there's such a big key here."
Ye Chen reached out his hand, trying to grab the key, but found that there was an invisible force around the key, and it seemed to be impregnable.
"Break!"
Activating all of his Zhen Qi, Ye Chen clenched his palm into a fist and punched the air.
Dong!
The invisible force didn't disperse, and instead, the huge counterforce made Ye Chen's feet leave the ground, and he was sent flying backwards, nearly crashing into the wall of the stone room.
With a cold look, Ye Chen pulled out the Dragon Spring Sword, and released four streams of sword Qi in a row.
The sword Qi shot out, and thunder roared.
However, in the next moment, the sword Qi was also bounced back with an even stronger force.
Waving his sword and shattering the reflected sword Qi, Ye Chen let out a bitter smile. Although he knew that the white key could be very useful, he couldn't get it with his current power.
Temporarily giving up on the key, Ye Chen looked around the entire stone room.
Eh?
There was also a stone table in the corner, on which a plain jade slip was placed.
Ye Chen waved his hand, and this time, there was no strange invisible force, and the jade slip was easily sucked into his hand.
However, after looking through the jade slip for a while, Ye Chen didn't find any special function. After thinking for a while, he injected his Zhen Qi into it.
All of a sudden —
An image appeared in Ji Hao's mind. On the ground, there was a hundred-meter-tall beast with a pair of horns on its head, roaring. It opened its mouth and blew a huge mountain away. Then, it stamped its foot on the ground, and the ground split open. Lava spurted out from the cracks, dyeing the sky red. This beast was so powerful that it had never been seen or heard of before. Perhaps, only Life and Death Realm warriors could be this powerful.
Just when the beast pulled out a thousands of zhang tall mountain, a stone pillar-like finger appeared in the air. The finger moved like a shooting star, and pointed at the beast's forehead.
"Bang!"
The beast's body exploded, and disappeared.
While Ye Chen was still in shock, that finger was pointing at his forehead. There was no way for him to escape, and there was no way for him to retreat.
All of a sudden, Ye Chen felt like his head was about to explode. Countless messy information flooded his brain, and soon, all of these messy information combined into a text and a martial exercise map.
It turned out that this finger art was called the Void Shattering Finger Art. However, what was taught to Ye Chen was not the complete Void Shattering Finger Art, but the third movement. According to Ye Chen's understanding, only this one movement was already extremely powerful. That beast had the power of a Life and Death Realm warrior, but it still couldn't handle the power of this finger art. Of course, he also knew that without enough power, even if he learned this finger art to its fullest, he still wouldn't be able to kill an Astral Reaching Realm warrior, not to mention that horrifying beast.
For a warrior, no matter how powerful a martial skill was, he still needed the power to activate it. Otherwise, it would just be an empty shell, since cultivation was the most important thing.
Besides the training method for the third movement of the Void Shattering Finger Art, the information also told him that if he wanted to break through the invisible force outside of the white key, he would need to learn a little bit of the Void Shattering Finger Art. Just a little bit would be enough, and he didn't need much. The time limit was three days. After three days, he would be teleported back, and he would never get the white key again.
"Three days … Let me try!"
Ye Chen sat on the ground with his legs crossed, and started to study the mysterious third movement of the Void Shattering Finger Art.
One day later.
Ye Chen pointed out his finger, and the air twisted instantly, making a popping sound.
Shaking his head, Ye Chen closed his eyes and continued to study.
On the second day, Ye Chen opened his eyes and slowly pointed out his finger.
Pooh!
The invisible force around the white key released a light ripple, but soon, it disappeared completely, and everything went back to normal.
"Still not working! Only one more day left. "
Ye Chen forced a smile at first, then performed his sword intent to cut off all the distracting thoughts. He sank his mind into the study of the Void Shattering Finger Art. From time to time, he would recall the scene of that huge finger shattering the beast.
Time passed by bit by bit. Ye Chen's eyebrows would stretch and frown from time to time. Within that short period of time, it was hard to tell how many times they had changed.
On the afternoon of the third day …
A wave of horrifying qi suddenly spread out from Ye Chen's body. He suddenly opened both of his eyes. His pupils were chaotic, and no one could tell how deep they were.
"Break!"
Using all of his power, Ye Chen pointed out his finger at the invisible force.
Boom!
The invisible force was finally shattered. No, more accurately, it was broken. The power of the Void Shattering Finger Art was still not as powerful as the sword qi. However, the invisible force was closely related to the Void Shattering Finger Art, which was why it was able to break the invisible force.
Studying the Void Shattering Finger Art was extremely exhausting. Ye Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead, then took out a Qi-replenishing pill, a Spirit-replenishing pill, and a Spirit-replenishing pill, and put them into his mouth.
After resting for a while, Ye Chen walked to the white key.
The key was the size of a forearm, with an ancient character 'four' written on the front. Other than that, there was nothing special about it, and it did not cause any changes.
The moment Ye Chen picked up the white key, a light door appeared in the stone room. The light door was faintly visible, and seemed like it could disappear at any second.
Not daring to stay any longer, Ye Chen put the white key back into his pocket, then flashed into the light door.
When he reappeared, Ye Chen had returned to the second layer of the goat-head mountain. Along with a buzzing sound, the light door in the middle of the second layer disappeared completely. It would be impossible for him to enter the stone room again in the future. No one knew where the stone room was, or if there were any other places in the stone room.
When he was about to walk down to the next layer, Ye Chen slightly frowned. His soul power had sensed that there were two people in the next layer. These two people were none other than Murong Qingcheng and Qi Shaofeng.
"Why are they here?"
For a moment, Ye Chen was confused.
