A Trip to the Treasury
As Long Chen spoke, his lips curled into a cold smile. His right hand flashed, and the heads of the eight generals fell to the ground. The civil official's face paled, and a chill ran down his spine. He retreated a few steps, staring at Long Chen in fear.
Although the civil official appeared respectful, he was clearly one of the First Prince's subordinates. If Long Chen had not treated him with respect, he would have made things difficult for him.
Seeing that the civil official was in such a sorry state, Long Chen said calmly, "Your Excellency, please change your appointment letter!"
The civil official was about to say something, but Long Chen's eyes made him tremble with fear. He did not dare to speak for a moment, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
The Third Prince, Qin Lie, saw this scene and could not help but be stunned. He whispered to Long Chen, "Eight thousand private soldiers? This is not the army of a Major General. In the Imperial Capital, this is equivalent to a Lieutenant General … "
Long Chen looked at Qin Lie and thought of the legless Qin Lie from his previous life. Qin Lie was a destitute prince who had helped him soar to the top.
The kindness of his previous life, he would repay it in this life!
"Eight thousand soldiers, I will definitely give you an invincible army …" Long Chen said calmly.
The Third Prince originally wanted to laugh it off, but seeing that Long Chen did not have the slightest intention of flattering him, he could not help but nod seriously.
This feeling was very strange. It was as if whatever Long Chen said, he would definitely be able to do.
The two of them walked one after the other, gradually walking side by side.
Soon, they arrived in front of the treasury. This was a golden square pagoda. The body of the pagoda was square, and the length and breadth of the pagoda was at least ten thousand meters. The dragon inscriptions on the pagoda rotated in all directions, as if ten thousand dragons were vying for glory.
When the two of them were about a hundred meters away, they stopped. Then, on the originally peaceful ground, lines of inscriptions appeared out of thin air, each of them carrying an unparalleled killing intent!
Long Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. These arrays were at least at the King Stage. Not only that, although Long Chen could see the Life Gate with his Divine Will, he could not see where the array base was. Could this array be broken?
"My royal father specifically asked Master Ou Yezi to set this up when he became a King Rank Array Master. Even if a Soul Formation martial artist tried to force their way in, they would only end up dead …" Qin Lie saw that Long Chen seemed to be somewhat interested.
Long Chen stared blankly for a moment. Then, he took a deep look at it. He thought to himself that this Array was definitely not made by Ou Ye Zi.
Although he had only met Ou Yezi once, Ou Yezi's cultivation in formations was very limited. Not to mention, this formation was set up by Ou Yezi many years ago, so this was even more impossible.
When Qin Lie saw Long Chen pondering, he thought that Long Chen did not believe him. He continued to explain, "Five years ago, the national treasury was forcefully breached by the experts of the Heaven Roll from other countries. They wanted to seize one of the Divine Weapons. One of them, a Middle and Late Divine Transformation Realm expert who was ranked third on the Heaven Roll, died under this formation …"
When Long Chen heard about the Divine Weapon, his interest was truly piqued.
According to the size of the Black Dragon Empire, a Spirit Rank weapon could already be considered priceless. Long Chen had never seen a King Rank weapon that was pure gold in color. The Divine Weapon they spoke of naturally could not be a cyan Divine Weapon. It should only be a King Rank or Emperor Rank weapon.
No matter if it was a weapon or a pill, once it reached the King Rank, due to the many transformations within it, it would produce a grade pattern. This was also the reason why there were different grades of pills and weapons.
King Rank was pure gold, Emperor Rank was golden yellow, Deity Rank was deep cyan, Saint Rank was dark purple, and Immortal Rank was purple gold!
However, when he thought about how the only Array Master in the entire Black Dragon Empire was Ou Yezi, he thought that this so-called Divine Weapon should only be a King Rank weapon.
After all, in his previous life, when Long Chen had reached the level of a Ruler, he had rarely seen a cyan Divine Weapon.
"May I know the grade of the 'Divine Weapon' that the Third Prince spoke of?" Long Chen asked.
The Third Prince saw that the Array Guardian Elder had not yet appeared, so he casually explained to Long Chen. He smiled and said, "I knew that you would be interested. However, the grade of this weapon is really hard to say because this is a broken weapon …"
Broken weapon?
Long Chen immediately frowned. If it was only a broken weapon, why would it attract the young experts of the Heaven Ranking to come here regardless of their lives?
The Third Prince also saw Long Chen's confusion. He continued, "The formation patterns on this broken sword have completely decayed. However, according to the material and Master Ou Yezi's judgment of the formation patterns, this sword is definitely not an ordinary item. It is very likely that it came from the Immemorial Era …"
Speaking of which, the Third Prince could not help but sigh. In the past ten thousand years, the path of Array Masters had withered, and weapon refinement had also been affected. Without formation patterns, it was already extremely difficult to refine a King Rank or even higher weapon.
During the Ancient Era, the path of Alchemy was at its peak, and the path of Array Masters flourished!
There were even rumors that countless experts entered the path of Alchemy and used the power of Array Masters to dominate the world … However, these were already myths that had been annihilated in the flow of history.
Buzz!
Just as Long Chen was about to continue asking, a series of blue ripples suddenly spread out from the Void Array in front of him. It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake.
"Who is it?!"
No one appeared from the ripples, but a loud shout was heard. It was as deafening as a bell or drum.
The Third Prince hurriedly said to Long Chen, "Quickly throw in the identification jade pendant. Then, you will be qualified to enter the national treasury."
Long Chen nodded.
A spiritual light flashed in his hand, and he threw out the identification jade pendant.
When Qin Lie saw this scene, his eyeballs almost popped out. This guy actually threw in eight jade pendants at once …
As soon as the jade pendants fell into the formation patterns, they disappeared. It was as if nothing had happened.
It seemed that the person who had spoken was also stunned by Long Chen's move. After nearly ten breaths, he replied, "There are a total of eight identification jade pendants. You can enter the national treasury eight times. You can choose eight weapons, eight pills, and twenty-four spirit herbs!"
The corners of Long Chen's mouth revealed a playful smile. At this moment, he really could be considered to have entered the treasury!
Seeing the human-shaped ripples spread out from the formation patterns, Long Chen no longer hesitated and stepped into it.
Following the path that appeared in the ripples, Long Chen walked for a full hundred breaths. Then, he suddenly opened up and stepped into the courtyard.
A grey-robed old man with a cold, steel-like face looked arrogant. He frowned and looked at Long Chen. He said, "Are you sure you want to use all of these jade pendants? And only once … "
Long Chen sneered in his heart. This person's words were quite disdainful. It seemed that he was somewhat suspicious of the origin of these identification jade pendants.
"Since you have taken them all out, naturally, I will use them all at once. According to the rules, I can take anything I want within the stipulated amount, right?" Long Chen asked.
The grey-robed old man's mouth revealed a faint smile. He said lightly, "Naturally, you can take anything you want. But if you can't take it, then you can't blame others."
After the arrogant old man finished speaking, he turned around and left. It seemed that he didn't want to say anything more to Long Chen.
Long Chen thought to himself that things were not so simple. At the same time, his powerful divine sense immediately took in the entire national treasury.
