Cheng Yu had searched for a long time but was unable to find the location of the mechanism. Could it be that he was wrong?
If one were to say that all his previous judgments were just guesses, then with so many secret skills placed here, the treasure trove should be hidden here.
"Senior Brother, we have chosen. We will keep the rubbing for research. The original version is all here," Just when Cheng Yu was still pondering, Tian Xing walked over and spoke.
"Alright! Then I will keep them. In the future, if there's any cultivation technique you want, come and look for me! However, I have to remind you that you don't have to learn all of these. Biting off more than you can chew. There's no benefit in learning too many cultivation techniques. It's mainly for research! "Cheng Yu spoke.
Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques might be hard to come by, but it wasn't uncommon either. If you really wanted it, you could buy it from the auction house anytime. Of course, as long as you had the money. To Cheng Yu, even if it was a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, he would still choose one that was worth learning. Otherwise, if he spent all his energy on it, it would be useless.
"En. We will choose carefully," Tian Xue nodded.
Therefore, the three of them carefully searched the secret room again.
"Senior Brother, I think the treasury isn't in this secret room! What you said previously was very reasonable, but I have heard of a saying. The more dangerous a place is, the safer it is. I feel that the Palace Master is making use of this point. He intentionally placed the treasury in a place where everyone can see it, "Tian Xing searched for a long time but didn't discover anything, so he spoke dispiritedly.
"Impossible!" Cheng Yu shook his head.
"Why is it impossible? I feel that it's very possible. It's because you all think so. Therefore, he intentionally didn't place it in such a place," Tian Xing felt that his thinking was correct.
"Firstly, the location of the treasury isn't something that others wouldn't know. Even if their guards knew about it, so what? They wouldn't dare to sneak in. Therefore, placing it in the secret room isn't to keep the treasury a secret, but the treasures inside. Secondly, he would definitely enter the treasury frequently. If it was placed in a conspicuous place, it wouldn't work, "Cheng Yu analyzed.
If it were him, he would definitely not do the opposite. His wealth would definitely be placed in a secret place. This way, it would be convenient for him to come and go, and at the same time, it would be much more secretive. Even if someone knew that there were treasures inside, they would not be able to enter.
Even if it was placed in a place where only his family could come and go, it would be inconvenient for him to go in and out. Therefore, he still needed to put it in a private place.
"But this secret room is only so big. If there were any traps, we would have found them long ago." Tian Xing also felt that this was the case. However, there wasn't anything special about this place. If there was, he would have noticed it with a single glance.
Looking at the floor full of broken porcelain, Cheng Yu was at a loss. So many rooms, only this room was relatively private. Could there be another room? But he had checked all the secret rooms here.
Cheng Yu sat on the chair and looked at the painting on the wall. In the painting, there were two old men playing chess. One of them was placing his chess piece down while the other old man was frowning in deep thought.
Cheng Yu turned around and looked at another painting on the other wall. A lady dressed in dark green palace dress was sitting on top of a mountain, playing the zither. Behind her, a waterfall was pouring down from above. It was truly magnificent.
As for the third wall, there was a young man standing in front of the window, holding a brush and writing. He was full of vigor and vitality.
On the fourth wall, there was a middle-aged man standing in the middle of a beautiful landscape, splashing ink as he painted!
What did this mean? Playing chess, zither, calligraphy, painting? Cheng Yu couldn't understand. Why would the palace master hang up these four paintings?
"En? Chess? "Cheng Yu placed his hand on the stone table. Coincidentally, he touched the chess piece on the table.
"Senior Brother! What time is it already? Why are you still in the mood to play chess? " When Tian Xing saw Cheng Yu was actually sitting on the chess table, holding onto a chess piece and staring at the chess game that had already turned into a mess, he spoke anxiously.
"Playing chess, zither, calligraphy, painting?" Cheng Yu looked at the four directions of the secret room. Coincidentally, there were four paintings on the table. He seemed to have understood something.
"Senior Brother! What did you say? "Cheng Yu's mutterings were too soft. Tian Xing didn't understand.
Cheng Yu looked at the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting placed in the secret room. After that, he walked to a painting. He felt that something was amiss.
"Could the secret room's mechanism be in this painting?" Seeing Cheng Yu was bewildered, Tian Xue walked to Cheng Yu's side and spoke.
"I feel that there's something mysterious about this painting. It seems like it's trying to express something. Look, these four paintings are the four of them. And the decorations in this secret room are also the four of them. Don't you feel that it's strange? "Cheng Yu commented.
"What's strange about it? Perhaps, the palace master likes the four of them. Therefore, he intentionally hung up these four paintings! This is also a way to express what he likes! "Tian Xing spoke disapprovingly.
"No. I believe it wouldn't be so simple!" Cheng Yu shook his head.
"Then could it be that the position of these four paintings is different from the four of them?" Tian Xing pointed at the painting.
"It's different," Cheng Yu had also discovered this problem. But what did it matter? Could there be a mechanism under the table?
Cheng Yu walked to the stone table and took a look. There wasn't anything amiss.
"Watch me shift the position of the four stone tables!" Tian Xing walked up, wanting to move one of the stone tables.
Pow! "Are you stupid? Can't you see the stone table is fixed? What if it's a mechanism? If it's destroyed by you, what's the point of playing? Even if you want to shift it, you should shift the painting! "Cheng Yu patted Tian Xing's head unhappily.
Cheng Yu walked to the painting of the zither. He lifted up the painting on the wall to take a look. He truly couldn't understand the difference in shifting the painting.
Eh? Cheng Yu intended to take down the painting, but he was unable to do so. Cheng Yu floated up. Only then did he realize that the hanging thread was connected to a strange stone cover.
Cheng Yu looked at the cover attentively. After that, he slowly pulled out the cover. At this moment, he realized there were four grooves on the wall. Among them, the first and third grooves were the same as the two protrusions on the cover.
Under his curiosity, Cheng Yu took the stone cover that was connected to the painting and floated to another chess painting. After that, he slowly pulled out the cover of this painting. Inside, there were still four grooves. As for this chess painting, it was inserted into the first and second groove.
Cheng Yu looked at the direction of the painting of a chess player. It just so happened that there was a zither placed there. So, he picked up the stone cover of the painting of a zither and placed it against the groove on the wall. Coincidentally, it was the second and third groove.
"Kacha!" Cheng Yu covered the zither painting. He only heard a "kacha" sound from the inside. It was as though something was stuck on the cover. It matched perfectly.
Cheng Yu took the chess painting to the zither painting. However, after trying for a long time, Cheng Yu still couldn't match the two grooves.
Lowering his head, he saw it was a painting. Therefore, Cheng Yu ran to the painting and pulled it out. After that, he returned and inserted it back in. "Kacha!" Coincidentally, it was inserted back in.
Thus, Cheng Yu matched the items on the table one by one. Finally, all four of them matched up.
Ka! Ka! Ka! Cheng Yu saw the bookcase had actually moved to the right.
"Opened! Opened! So it's like this. Senior Brother, this time, you can't help but admire me! "Tian Xing commented complacently when he saw a new hidden room had appeared in front of them.
"Haha! Not bad. At least you didn't throw my face and learned some superficial knowledge from me." Cheng Yu chuckled.
"What? This is my own wisdom! "Tian Xing retorted.
Pa! Pa! Pa! When the hidden room appeared, all the green spiritual lamps in the room lit up.
Cheng Yu walked at the front, walking in cautiously.
There weren't many corridors in the hidden room. After entering, everything was clear. Similarly, there were three stone doors. The activation mechanism on the wall was also the god tree key.
Cheng Yu opened the first door. Whoosh!
Before Cheng Yu trio could even react, an extremely domineering green sword image charged over.
Pu! Cheng Yu was caught off guard as he vomited a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying out! Whoosh! A dark green sword flickered with radiance as it flew out.
"Supreme-grade soul artifact!" Cheng Yu was startled. Unexpectedly, there was actually a supreme-grade soul artifact here.
However, this supreme-grade soul artifact was obviously not interested in Cheng Yu trio. It passed through them, wanting to fly out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! It was at this moment, all the other soul artifacts in the hidden room flew out. There was a total of 20 over soul artifacts. High-grade soul artifact, middle-grade soul artifact, low-grade soul artifact.
Tian Xue and Tian Xing widened their mouths. They had never seen such a spectacular scene before! Soul artifacts actually gushed out like a tide. It truly caused them to gasp in amazement.
"Trying to escape!" Cheng Yu was also astonished. He hurriedly threw out the Tree God Key to block the supreme-grade soul artifact. This was a supreme-grade soul artifact. It was only a step away from immortal artifact. How could Cheng Yu let it go? Besides, there was still a group of restless fellows following behind.
Hu! Hu! Hu! The Tree God Key flickered with green radiance as it flowed towards all the soul artifacts. The soul artifacts hovered in the air as if they were hypnotized. The low-grade soul artifact was the first to drop.
Not long later, the middle-grade soul artifact also started to drop. Lastly, it was the high-grade soul artifact and supreme-grade soul artifact!
Cheng Yu was delighted as he charged forward to keep all the soul artifacts.
"Senior Brother, we've struck it rich this time. Even supreme-grade soul artifact has appeared. Can you give us a high-grade soul artifact? Middle-grade is fine too!" Seeing such an exciting scene, Tian Xing quickly ran over and fawned.
"No way!" Cheng Yu shook his head solemnly.
"Oh!" Tian Xing nodded his head in disappointment.
"It's not that I'm stingy. It's just that soul artifacts are too alluring. Currently, you have an offensive and defensive soul artifact. It's sufficient for you to fight. But with your current strength, not only are you unable to bring out the full potential of the middle-grade soul artifact, it will definitely be your fatal weakness. If others were to know that you have a middle-grade soul artifact or even a high-grade soul artifact, I believe you will not be far from becoming a ghost, "Cheng Yu didn't wish for them to have any bad thoughts. Therefore, he explained.
"I understand, Senior Brother," Tian Xing nodded his head. However, he was still not in a good mood.
