Chapter 245: Unboxing Again

There would definitely be countermeasures in place for dealing with such external threats.

The massive White-Bone Mountain was like an enchanted tool that had been refined. It actually had the power to break through the void, which meant that it had the potential to be classified in the Mortal World\'s Ten Thousand Treasures.

Clearly, the White-Bone Hall had always kept this trump card hidden.

The encirclement and attack mission by the three immortal sects couldn\'t be considered a complete failure, as they succeeded in uncovering this life-saving measure of the White-Bone Hall. In any future attacks on the White-Bone Hall, they would be able to devise more suitable tactics.

In battles involving such large-scale forces, delivering a fatal strike was exceedingly challenging. It often necessitated repeated struggles, with each side pressuring the other to reveal a trump card or tactic. This exchange would continue back and forth until the final outcome was determined.

The ongoing conflict between the righteous path and the diabolical sect has lasted for so many years, so it was nothing strange.

The White-Bone Hall hadn\'t retreated without receiving any damage. The Heaven-Raising Sword unleashed by Daoist Yan had undoubtedly dealt severe damage to the White-Bone Mountain.

Through the bond between the three spies, the Mount Shu Sect, the Buddhist Cloud Monastery, and the Valley of the Three Absolutes also formed a peculiar connection. Despite not having interacted much before, working together on this operation helped them understand each other better. It was as if they were forming alliances.

Of course, there was no formal alliance, just mutual goodwill being exchanged. For example, regarding the matter of the Blue Dragon\'s Hidden Realm, both the Buddhist Cloud Monastery and the Valley of the Three Absolutes cooperated by remaining silent.

However, someone had anonymously leaked the information to the news, and now rumors were spreading that Enchantress Liu and Master Mu had escaped with the Blue Dragon\'s Hidden Realm.

As for General Hei Yu, who was held captive, he suddenly died a day later.

General Hei Yu\'s claim about the Soul Tormentor that belonged to the Elder of the White-Bone Mountain was probably true.

The Elder of the White-Bone Mountain had likely identified the subordinate that leaked the secret location and used some unknown methods to kill General Hei Yu.

General Hei Yu suddenly died as his flesh and blood corroded away, leaving behind only a skeleton.

But when this happened, Chu Liang couldn\'t help but feel worried. If the Elder of the White-Bone Mountain had such terrifying abilities, would he be able to find a way to locate him, Luo Yao, and Pushan?

Di Nufeng, however, waved her hand nonchalantly, telling him not to worry. For high-ranking figures like General Hei Yu, who held the position of chamber master, the Elder of White-Bone Mountain surely had something planted in their bodies. This way, upon discovering their betrayal, he could punish them regardless of the distance.

The Elder of White-Bone Mountain couldn\'t possibly do this to everyone.

Chu Liang thought about it and agreed. With this reassurance, he stopped worrying unnecessarily.

As he gradually became more familiar with the mystical abilities of the Dragon Orb, he grew increasingly eager to see what its power would be like at a higher cultivation level. The Blue Dragon\'s Orb was like a key that could unlock the door to the divine power of the dragons. However, he would need the strength to push this door open.

If he could tap into all the mystical abilities of the dragons, it would mean that he had fully inherited the powers of the Blue Dragon. At that stage, summoning storms, moving mountains, and controlling the seas would no longer be a dream.

While he was studying the Blue Dragon\'s Orb, he didn\'t forget the major contributor who helped him obtain the Blue Dragon\'s Orb.

"Want some?" Chu Liang teased, holding the Golden Vein Berry in his hand. "The Blue Dragon\'s Orb is round, and this fruit is round too, so they\'re practically the same thing," he remarked playfully to the little golden butterfly.

Yet, the little golden butterfly hid its face with its shiny wings, refusing to look at Chu Liang.

She was very angry.

"Oh

, you are still holding a grudge. How many days has it been?" Chu Liang said as he poked the butterfly with his finger.

It turned around, emitting some fluttering sounds, and faced Chu Liang with its rear end.

It was as if it was saying, I am holding a grudge indeed.

"Hehe." Chu Liang could only chuckle awkwardly.

The little thing had quite the temper.

The little golden butterfly wasn\'t easily fooled. Despite the deliciousness of the Golden Vein Berry, it lacked significant spiritual energy. Regarding this fruit, it felt nothing but disdain. Its taste was simple. All it desired to consume was something powerful in spiritual energy.

From its perspective, anything chewable was considered edible regardless of its actual edibility.

Even if it couldn\'t bite into it, it could simply swallow it and digest it slowly.

But very few people could afford items with powerful spiritual energy. Although Chu Liang had more than enough money, he wasn\'t extravagant enough to feed his pets with items that contained spiritual energy.

Even some discarded enchanted tools, if recycled for their materials, wouldn\'t be cheap at all.

Clearly, he needed to take it out and let it find its own food.

Just when he was in a dilemma facing this little golden butterfly, Wen Yulong\'s flying-crane letter arrived.

...

When he had previously gone for that formal attestation of abilities, Chu Liang killed an alchemist who had been secretly refining diabolical pills. When he killed that alchemist, he obtained a storage enchanted tool, which he handed over to Wen Yulong after he had returned to Mount Shu, requesting for him to open it.

Chu Liang then made his way to the Hall of Weapons. Upon arriving, he greeted Wen Yulong with a smile and said, "You are quite fast this time, huh?"

"There are no tricks here. It\'s just a matter of practice; the more you do it, the better you become," Wen Yulong responded with a chuckle.

Indeed. Whenever Chu Liang returned from an adventure, Wen Yulong would have to unlock items for him. He successfully opened the Evil Ksitigarbha, which was even more difficult to unlock, as well as the skull of the Eminent One. In comparison to those items, this enchanted tool was child\'s play.

The tiny jade gourd was placed on the table.

"Let\'s see what we\'ve got." Chu Liang opened it eagerly.

This time, instead of blindly taking out each item one by one, he took everything and laid them out in the open.

The most conspicuous item was a green alchemical furnace the size of half a human and coated in gold, engraved with a map of mountains and seas, shining with a warm and lively luster. As one observed closer, they would hear the surging waves inside the furnace.

"This should be an alchemical furnace," Wen Yulong said as he felt around and lifted the lid to take a look inside. He then confirmed, "It\'s a good item. High-quality alchemical furnaces have always been in demand, and this one is definitely worth a good price."

"So this is an alchemical furnace," Chu Liang remarked, unsurprised considering the original owner was an alchemist.

Next to it was a small jade puppet, about the size of a palm. There was no clear indication of whether this was a boy or girl, but this puppet looked very smooth and was crafted with exquisite detail.

Wen Yulong picked up the puppet again. As he took another glance at it, he smiled and said, "Thankfully, I used to study alchemy. If not, I wouldn\'t have recognized this. This is a Pill-Testing Puppet. You can use it to test any pills you refine. If the pill is harmful to the human body, the puppet will turn black."

"I see." Chu Liang learned something new.

Then, they looked at this jade slip. As Chu Liang scanned it with his divine sense, he saw that this jade slip stored several hundred complicated alchemical recipes.

Wen Yulong took the jade slip and scanned it as well and remarked, "Most of these are widely circulated alchemical recipes, with a small portion being less common. There are also some diabolical pills. If you take this to the Hall of Conservation, you should be able to exchange it for some rewards.

The remaining items consisted of gourds, pills, and materials. As Wen Yulong examined each one, he commented, "This is the Eternal-Youth Pill, a diabolical pill that should be destroyed. Here we have the Qi-Restoring Pill, which could be considered a miraculous healing medicine in battle... And this is the Dragon-Head Raising Pill, a remedy for men struggling in bed..."

"These few treasures of nature are alchemical materials and should be worth quite a bit altogether. Congratulations, Senior Brother," Wen Yulong said with a smile. "They say alchemists are the wealthiest, and it seems to be true. Selling these items together could definitely bring in a tidy sum."

In the world of immortal cultivators, alchemists were renowned for their wealth. While there might be Eminent Ones at the Dao Attainment Realm who were impoverished, there were never any poor alchemists.

At this point, Chu Liang had clearly met both the impoverished Eminent One and the wealthy alchemist.

In response to Wen Yulong\'s congratulations, he shook his head slightly and replied, "Sell? Not so fast. I may have a use for some of the items in here."
