Novel Bin Chapter 388 Visiting The Treasure Hall Again
Zhan Chen listened intently as Shui Liying relayed the urgent news about the dire situation at the Yellow Stone City. He absorbed the information, his expression growing more serious with each passing moment.
"I understand the gravity of the situation. I have already checked the list of spirit herbs that the sect possesses. The only thing left for me to investigate is the treasure hall," Zhan Chen replied. He had a calm expression on his face as she looked towards Shui Liying.
Shui Liying nodded her head after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. "Very well. I will order Elder Yu to provide you with whatever spirit herbs you require. Time is of the essence, so let's hurry to the treasure hall."
Zhan Chen acknowledged her words with a nod. "Senior Liying, don't worry. I will get the Five harmony soul resurgence pill as soon as possible. I will not waste a moment. Once I have gathered the Five harmony soul resurgence pill, I will make my way to the Yellow Stone City."
Shui Liying's lips curved into a small smile. "I want to beleive you once. Let's see if you can finish this task quickly or not. If you are successful, you can demand a huge reward from our sect."
"Senior Liying, I only want one reward. You know it. Please grant my wish after the situation in the Yellow stone city is stabilized", Zhan Chen spoke. He threw a purposeful look towards Shui Liying's enchanting body. So that, she could understand his intention.
"You~", Shui Liying blushed slightly after hearing Zhan Chen's words. For some reason she felt exhilaration in her heart after listening to Zhan Chen's words.
"We can talk about that later. I promise, the sect will not disappoint you if you are able to bring the Five harmony soul resurgence pill for Hu Tao", Shui Liying spoke. She felt shy for a moment as she looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Senior Liying, shall we go?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile on his face. He was happy that a beauty like Shui Liying had fallen for his soul seed technique.
"Let's go. We need to hurry up. Once you enter the third floor of the treasure hall, I will leave for the Yellow stone city", Shui Liying replied. She waved her hand and brought Zhan Chen together with her towards the treasure hall.
The majestic treasure hall stood at the heart of a verdant valley, its towering structure radiating an aura of power and ancient wisdom. As Shui Liying and Zhan Chen approached, the guards stationed at the entrance immediately dropped to their knees, their heads bowed in reverence.
Shui Liying's presence commanded respect and admiration from the disciples, and they willingly stepped aside to let her pass. Zhan Chen followed closely behind her, unbothered by the emperor aura and magnificence she was exuding.
Inside the treasure hall, they were greeted by Liu Hua, the elder in charge of its vast collection of artifacts and treasures. Liu Hua's eyes widened with surprise as she saw Zhan Chen accompanying Shui Liying. Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing the surprise on her face.
"Senior Liying, it's a surprise to see you here. How may I assist you?" Liu Hua asked after bowing towards Shui Liying.
Shui Liying glanced at Zhan Chen and then turned her attention back to Liu Hua. "We are here to visit the third floor. I need few things from there which is important for the task at hand."
"Senior Liying, excuse me. I don't have authority to open the third floor. My master is in seclusion. So, it is impossible to open the third floor unless you convince the three ancient guardian elders", Liu Hua spoke. She took a furtive glance towards Zhan Chen before looking towards Shui Liying.
"It has been a while since I last see your master. It would be easy if your master is present. But I still have a way. The matter is so important that three guardian elders have to open the path", Shui Liying spoke.
Liu Hua volunteered to show the path and both Zhan Chen and Shui Liying followed behind her. Together, they made their way towards the third floor after passing the restriction that led to the second floor. They walked through second floor and finally found a massive barrier that guarded the entrance to the third floor. Liu Hua halted, her expression apologetic. "Senior Liying, I do not have the authority to go any further", she informed.
Shui Liying raised her hand, reassuring Liu Hua. "Rest assured. I have my own means of accessing the third floor", she spoke with a calm expression on her face. She retrieved a golden token from her spatial ring and sent it flying towards the barrier.
The token shimmered with a radiant light as it made contact with the barrier, causing it to ripple and part, granting them passage. The barrier recognized the authority embedded within the token and yielded to its power.
With the barrier now opened, Shui Liying stepped forward. Zhan Chen and Liu Hua followed closely behind her. It was the first time for Liu Hua to see the fabled third floor. She had yet to see the third floor despite her long years of association with the treasure hall. Zhan Chen also felt curious as he saw the narrow path ahead.
Beyond the small pathway, there was only a vast chamber. There was no grandeur in it as the only thing remained there was an empty hall.
"An empty hall!", Liu Hua murmured with an incredulous expression on her face. She had always heard the legends about the third floor since her days as an ordinary disciple. There was legends that how it stored treasures which may cause choas if they were revealed in open.
But the reality was different than expectation. The empty hall hit her hard as she didn't know what to say anymore. Contrary to her expression, Zhan Chen had a look of interest on his face.The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
He could see through the concealing formation which was hiding a spatial formation. The formations were built very cleverly and Zhan Chen would have missed them if he had not seen the spatial formations in the Cleansing incense ancient sect.
'Interesting!', he thought to himself with gleaming eyes. Such ingenious formation technique piqued his curiousity.
"Guardian elders, please show yourself. I, Shui Liying, the peak master of the Serene bamboo peak is requesting your presence", Shui Liying called out loudly. She held her golden token in her hand which glowed with multicoloured lights.
There was no sound whatsoever after Shui Liying was done speaking. She waited patiently for few minutes and fluctuation came out from a corner of the hall.
Three figures appeared all of a sudden who were sitting cross legged at the corner of the hall. Their faces appeared peaceful and serene as they seemed to be one with environment at this moment.
"Girl, I need a good reason. I want to know why a rich peak master like you wants to visit the treasure hall. You must be aware that Bing Yue is absent at this moment. Still you are here, Willing to disturb our seclusion. I want to know, what is your purpose? Is it necessary to disturb us?", one of figure who was sitting at the extreme left asked. Other two figures also opened their eyes and looked towards Shui Liying calmly.
