Rumble! Rumble! Rumble …
Amidst the faintly discernible sound, a wall of the fake mountain cave slowly moved, revealing a spacious staircase that led underground …
Under the lead of Shangguan Qianqiu and Stu Wanli, Yuan Hong blindly followed behind the two of them, following the white jade staircase and walking into the passageway.
They meandered all the way down, and not long after … the light in front of them lit up, and an incomparably huge underground space appeared in front of everyone.
Looking around, a huge underground space that was close to ten meters tall appeared in front of them.
Within the huge underground space, wooden shelves were neatly arranged, and wooden boxes were neatly arranged on the shelves. Inside each wooden box was naturally a high-grade elixir.
One must know that a hundred years ago, elixirs that were Level Six and below were all ordinary elixirs, and were simply not qualified to enter the elixir treasury.
Only Level Seven, Eight, and Nine, these Level Three elixirs, were considered treasures, and were qualified to enter the Alchemist Association's treasury.
Suddenly jumping out from Yuan Hong's bronze wrist guard, Yan Guilai widened his eyes, looking at the mountain of high-grade elixirs, and simply couldn't believe his eyes.
Looking at Yan Guilai's ecstatic look, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "From what I know, there are ten million Level Seven elixirs and one million Level Eight elixirs stored here!"
Looking at Shangguan Qianqiu in disbelief, Yan Guilai said, "How can there be so many? Where did so many high-grade alchemists come from? This doesn't make sense! "
Smiling and shaking his head, Stu Wanli continued, "Doesn't make sense? That's just because you know too little. "
Looking proudly at the huge amount of high-grade elixirs in front of him, Stu Wanli said, "Did you notice that the concentration of Spirit Qi here is not lower than in your cave?"
Hearing Stu Wanli's words, Yan Guilai couldn't help but frown. Carefully feeling it, it was really as Stu Wanli said. The concentration of Spirit Qi here was almost the same as in Tiantai Mountain and the cave.
Looking at Yan Guilai, Stu Wanli continued, "Under such a concentration of Spirit Qi, all the elixirs are nourished by the Spirit Qi, and their medicinal properties will not become weaker with the passage of time."
Nodding, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "Under the constant cleansing of Spirit Qi, these elixirs not only will not rot, but also their medicinal properties will not be lost, instead, they will become more and more pure!"
With a wry smile, Yan Guilai said, "I know what you said, but … there are still too many elixirs here. As far as I know, there aren't so many high-grade alchemists, right?"
After exchanging a glance, Shangguan Qianqiu and Situ Wanli laughed heartily. Situ Wanli opened his mouth and explained, "The medicinal pellets here aren't just the ones accumulated over the past ten thousand years."
Nodding, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "In fact, the elixirs we obtained from various secret realms, Emperors, and Martial Emperors' tombs were also sent here."
Opening his mouth in surprise, Yan Guilai said, "So, the elixirs here are the essence left behind by human beings for tens of millions of years?"
Nodding, then shaking his head, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "That is indeed the case, but you can't say it like that."
After a pause, Stu Wanli continued, "The elixirs here are basically accumulated in the last ten thousand years, but these elixirs were not all refined by alchemists in the last ten thousand years."
As for how many elixirs there were in the Qiankun World, secret realms, and ancient tombs, no one could calculate.
It could only be said that most of the high-grade elixirs discovered in the last ten thousand years were sent here and stored.
Looking at Shangguan Qianqiu and Stu Wanli in confusion, Yan Guilai shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand. With so many high-grade elixirs, why not take them out for everyone to use, but hoard them?"
Faced with Yan Guilai's doubts, Shangguan Qianqiu said seriously, "In fact … through the space-time corridor in the Smiling Academy, we have long seen the decline of human beings today, so … if you were the leader of human beings, what would you do?"
Nodding in understanding, Yan Guilai said, "I see, no wonder … since we have already foreseen fate, of course we have to make plans early, and leave a backup plan early."
Nodding with a smile, Stu Wanli said, "Yes, these high-grade elixirs were left behind by human beings for their descendants more than ten thousand years ago."
Hearing Shangguan Qianqiu and Stu Wanli's words, Yan Guilai said excitedly, "So, in the Lingmu Emperor's treasury, there are still so many elixirs?"
Laughing bitterly, Stu Wanli said, "No, no, no … didn't you notice? Although there are also ninth-grade elixirs here, there are only a few hundred of them, and there is only one of each type of elixir. Do you still not understand? "
Nodding in understanding, Yan Guilai said, "I know, this is the treasury of seventh-grade and eighth-grade elixirs, and the Lingmu Emperor's is the treasury of ninth-grade elixirs, is that right?"
Nodding with a smile, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "Yes, that's right … why would the Lingmu Emperor take a fancy to these seventh-grade and eighth-grade elixirs? Only ninth-grade elixirs can catch his eye."
Nodding, Yan Guilai didn't dare to delay. He opened his mouth and swallowed the rows of wooden shelves, along with the elixirs on them, into the dimensional space.
Although these elixirs wouldn't rot here, it wasn't safe here after all. Once they were discovered and destroyed by the tiger clan, the accumulation of humans over the past ten thousand years would turn into bubbles.
As the wooden shelves were very big and couldn't be stacked, therefore … Yan Guilai transported all the elixirs and wooden shelves back into the karst cave.
Similar to the treasury of the Alchemist Association, the spiritual energy in the karst cave was also incomparably rich and abundant. Storing the elixirs in the karst cave wouldn't cause them to rot.
However, in comparison, the karst cave was very humid, therefore … it wasn't suitable for long-term storage. Not long after, those wooden shelves would rot due to the humidity.
Therefore, after transporting all the elixirs, Yan Guilai immediately returned his consciousness to his human body.
So much time had passed, and he didn't know how the shop was doing. The renovations should have been completed, and the medicine cabinet should have been completed.
After leaving the secret chamber, Yan Guilai immediately rushed to the main administration hall and sent someone to summon Liu Yan.
Very quickly, Liu Yan walked quickly into Yan Guilai's main administration hall with furrowed brows.
As soon as they met, Liu Yan said, "… The Great Chu royalty refused to hand over those one thousand shops to us on the grounds of being unreasonable."
Hearing Liu Yan's words, Yan Guilai couldn't help but fly into a rage. However, as he was in a high position, Yan Guilai also knew that he couldn't lose his temper and had to remain calm.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Guilai said, "Don't tell me that the Great Chu royalty can do whatever they want? What did the Ministry of Justice say? "
Faced with Yan Guilai's question, Liu Yan said carefully, "The Ministry of Justice supported the Great Chu royalty's appeal and annulled the contract we signed with the Ministry of Political Affairs."
Boom!
Hearing this, Yan Guilai could no longer control his anger and slammed his fist on the table.
Although Yan Guilai also had to abide by the law, when Yan Guilai, as the Chief Governor, issued a decree, it was the highest order in the field of administration. Even a decree couldn't override a decree.
Otherwise, if any random judge could overrule Yan Guilai's decree, then how could Yan Guilai, as the Chief Governor, govern? Wouldn't that be a joke?
Using the Ministry of Justice as an example, if the Great General of the Ministry of Justice issued a battle order and the Ministry of Justice directly intervened and annulled the military order on the grounds of being illegal, wouldn't that be nonsense?
