The so-called original secret vault is a secret vault that has never been opened by anyone. The treasures inside were left behind by the builders of the secret vault.
Building a secret vault, especially a strong one, is incredibly expensive. Some people will use the secret vault as a treasure-hiding tool after taking it out to hide the treasure.
Generally speaking, if it is not the original secret vault, the value of the treasure will be greatly reduced. Of course, there are exceptions.
Wang Yanyan had sorted out a lot of jade slips recently, and there was one jade slip that she couldn't see the contents of. Thinking that she had accidentally misunderstood a sword technique, she began to study it carefully.
After a few days, she still couldn't find it, so she finally followed her master's example and hit it with her spiritual consciousness. After hitting it several times, she could vaguely see a line of small words, "Word to my disciple: There is a treasure hidden in this secret vault..."
She could only see so much, and trying to hit other words with her spiritual consciousness was ineffective, and instead made her dizzy.
Thinking of this kind of jade slips that require the collision of spiritual consciousness, most of them are ancient customs, and although the treasures in the secret storehouse are rich, they are not that long ago. Otherwise, even though the herbal medicines and pills are preserved in jade boxes, their medicinal properties will be lost.
Seven, seven, eight, eight.
So she took the jade slip and came to report to the master. The master's spiritual awareness was amazing, and he might be able to see clearly.
When Chen Taizhong heard that there was such a thing, he had to pick up the jade slip and take a look. The words on the back were indeed unclear, and his consciousness quickly hit it.
It turns out that the person who left this jade slip was a man who called himself "Zhenren Zhifeng". This secret treasury was also built by Zhenren Zhifeng. This man was once the master of Zhutian Peak of Mingyang Sect.
It is written in the jade slip that there are two door knockers in the secret library. One is held by the peak master, and the other is given to his most beloved disciple Feiyan. This jade slip can only be seen by the door knocker held by Feiyan.
One can only be used to obtain secret treasures.
He left a message saying: All the treasures in the secret vault will be handed over to the peak master. He only left a secret holy land for cultivation to his beloved disciple.
From this it can be seen that Master Zhifeng is indeed a bit biased, or that the disciple is a bit unruly.
A secret holy land for cultivation, this is good. But there is another sentence at the end, "...you are not allowed to practice unless you enter the Jade Immortal. In order to prevent the good disciples from cheating, only the Jade Immortal's divine consciousness can know where the holy land is..."
"Oh no," Chen Taizhong threw the jade slip aside in disappointment. The Holy Land of Cultivation was his favorite, but he didn't know about it. You said you were so busy with this setting, didn't you?
"What did you write?" Wang Yanyan asked curiously.
"Mingyang Sect...have you heard of it?" Chen Taizhong glanced at her.
"Of course I have heard of it," Wang Yanyan glanced at him in surprise. Then she took a breath, "The secret treasury of Mingyang Sect? I knew it was definitely not the original secret treasury... Which bastard made the first move?"
"The secret warehouse of Zhutian Peak of Mingyang Sect," Chen Taizhong corrected her statement, "I guess the things are not much better."
"The Mingyang Nine Peaks are also beyond ordinary sects," Wang Yanyan answered seriously. "Moreover, the Mingyang Sect lost all its elites in the Heavenly Demon War and has now fallen apart. Only five Fenghuang sects and seven sects remain."
"There is a man named Feiyan in Zhutian Peak, do you know?" Chen Taizhong asked again.
"Fairy Feiyan, who in the entire Mingyang Sect doesn't know this? The peak of the ninth-level Jade Immortal, encountered an ambush in the battle between demons, blew herself up and seriously injured two mysterious demons, and made great contributions to the Fenghuang Realm," Wang Yanyan's expression was a bit strange,
"Is there any mention of her in the jade slips?"
"This door knocker should be her personal belongings," Chen Taizhong felt a little uninterested after hearing such a tragic incident.
After hearing this, Wang Yanyan's eyes immediately turned red. She silently took out the door knocker, put her hands on the table, took two steps back, knelt down with a thud, and spoke with a choked voice, "Auntie Wang Yanyan, the unworthy descendant, here you go.
Greetings."
"What?" Chen Taizhong frowned upon hearing this. What about such a twist?
Wang Yanyan kowtowed twenty-seven times before standing up, carefully putting away the door knocker, and then sighed, "It turns out that I can collect this secret treasury with confidence."
"How did the Mingyang Sect fall apart?" Chen Taizhong was a little curious.
It turns out that 900 years ago, the Fenghuang Realm was invaded by the Demonic Plane. The seven major sects jointly fought against the enemy and suffered heavy casualties, especially the Mingyang Sect and the Tianji Sect. Only a few junior Jade Immortals were left dead.
So when the demon retreated, the two sects were divided up by the other five sects.
Faced with the alliance between the five sects, Wang Yanyan's grandma, who is Fairy Feiyan's sister, and other sect disciples ran to the Beast Taming Sect under the Mingyang Sect early to take refuge.
The Beast Taming Sect is the most powerful sect under the Mingyang Sect. It can even tame war beasts that are higher than its own level. It has long been coveted by other sects. Faced with the attack from the five sects instigated by the five sects, they still persisted for two hundred years.
Yu Zai was finally wiped out.
The disciples who were lucky enough to escape did not dare to fly under the banner of Mingyang Sect or the Beast Taming Sect, so they could only sneak into the ranks of casual cultivators.
Without the resources of the sect, in one or two generations, the descendants of the disciples will disappear from the public.
"Unexpectedly, your ancestors were also rich," Chen Taizhong shook his head.
"I was put in a water prison because I was discovered by the Liang family because I knew how to tame animals," Wang Yanyan replied through gritted teeth, "They wanted to force me to find out my martial arts."
In fact, she was able to find Chen Taizhong on the edge of the Huishui River because she had some sense of the scent-spitting snake.
All this time, she never said why she entered the water prison, and Chen Taizhong was not interested in asking. After recognizing her master, she had many opportunities to leave, but the last time she took a large number of jade slips with her.
In the past, she had thought that her master might have some intentions, but it was not until the last time that she confirmed that the master was not stupid, but he was simply a ridiculously careless person.
Since that's the case, she really has nothing to be wary of.
"You don't want to avenge the Beast Taming Sect, do you?" Chen Taizhong glanced at her. This is the secret treasury left by the Beast Taming Sect. Although he claims to not care about money, he is really reluctant to part with such a large sum of money.
However, from a certain perspective, Scar is the real owner of this secret vault - at least one of the owners. If someone wants to take it away, he has no reason to stop it.
So he was terribly torn: Should he rob his servant? Or... add murder and silence?
"I'm not from the Beast Taming Sect," Wang Yanyan replied nonchalantly, "Ever since my grandfather's generation, my family has been a casual cultivator... When they were born, the Beast Taming Sect was wiped out, so there's no sense of belonging to a sect.
?”
"It's true that because of our identity as the Beast Mastering Sect, we have been hiding here and there. Because we don't dare to let anyone check our roots, we can't join the sect." Wang Yanyan became more and more excited as she spoke. "This identity has only brought us disadvantages.
If there is no benefit, what am I going to do by reviving it?”
"That makes sense!" Chen Taizhong nodded, "I think it's too difficult to revive a sect."
"It's not that it's difficult, it's simply impossible. With my strength, it's like hitting an egg against a stone!" Wang Yanyan shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "It's been agreed by the five major sects, do you think I can handle it?"
From her tone, it can be heard that no matter how she says she doesn't care about the Beast Taming Sect, in fact, she still has some complicated feelings towards that sect. The key to the problem is - this is simply an impossible task.
Task.
"I'm very pleased that you can be so sensible," Chen Taizhong nodded, "I almost thought you were going to ask me for this secret treasure."
"If I ask for it from you, will you give it to me?" Wang Yanyan glanced at him.
"Hey, hey, why are you talking to your master?" Chen Taizhong's face sank and he scolded her seriously, "I was hesitating. If you insist...should I kill you?"
"You won't kill me," Wang Yanyan shook her head confidently, "You are too proud to do this."
Chen Taizhong was speechless immediately, and it took him a long time to glare at her, "What a flattering person!"
In fact, she was right. Chen is extremely arrogant at heart. If others do not provoke him, he usually will not take the initiative to bully others. Even if the other person is rich, he will not deliberately bully them.
murder.
What if I have a spiritual stone? What if I have a spiritual treasure? As long as I keep practicing with peace of mind, I will become famous sooner or later. Why bother to shamelessly harm others? It’s too petty.
This is an authentic strong mentality and confidence in oneself.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master," Wang Yanyan was thick-skinned and didn't care about his scolding at all, and replied with a smile.
"Since you recognize me as the master, these things all belong to me," Chen Taizhong immediately took the opportunity to declare that he really couldn't bear to part with so many supplies, "Well, if you want to use them, you can give them priority."
"Even if you give it to me, I don't dare to take it away," Wang Yanyan spread her hands with a wry smile, and she told the truth, "I might as well stay with you so that I can use it from time to time."
She knew only too well the consequences of a three-year-old holding gold in the city.
"Then you first learn the 'shrinking the ground and stepping on the clouds' technique," Chen Taizhong handed over the jade slip in his hand, "you have such a low level of cultivation, you must seriously learn the escape technique."
"These exercises of yours... I really don't want to learn them," Wang Yanyan answered cautiously. It's strange to say that as a casual practitioner, no one would reject the exercises that she could practice, but she asked her master if they handed them to her.
All the exercises have a natural fear.
The main reason was that she had suffered too much in the probing technique, and the sword technique her master gave her could actually make the jade slip explode as soon as she practiced it, which really gave her a sense of panic.
"It seems that I have to forcefully input it into your sea of consciousness," Chen Taizhong smiled sinisterly, raised his left index finger and waved it.
"Okay, I'll learn," Wang Yanyan immediately backed down.
"You must learn it, I will test it," Chen Taizhong snorted coldly.
Anyway, the two masters and servants are quite strange. One is a casual practitioner who doesn't want to learn the exercises, and the other insists on teaching them.
However, the saying "people are forced to come out" is absolutely true. A month later, Wang Yanyan really learned the first level of shrinking to the ground and stepping on the clouds - "gathering Qi and shrinking to the ground".
However, even though she learned it, the effect was terrible. Like Zhou Daoping, it was extremely draining of the spiritual energy in her body.
She is a majestic ninth-level wandering immortal who can only take two steps, which means she can run more than thirty meters. If she takes one full step without changing direction, she can still run forty meters away.
