Chatting and laughing with Jiang Shu, the two quickly arrived at the ancestral hall.
Two middle-aged n at the Blood Exchange Realm were standing at the entrance, utterly bored.
"Uncle Qin, I didn’t expect it would be your and Uncle Han’s turn for the shift this month," Liang Yuanhong said with a smile. He pulled Jiang Shu over. "Uncle Qin, this is Liang Yuanzhou, who beca famous in our Liang Family yesterday after breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm. I’m bringing him to the Essence Blood Secret Chamber today to store his Essence Blood."
"So, the Fifth Elder didn’t co?" Uncle Qin said. "That makes sense. Tomorrow is the grand competition, and important guests must be arriving at the Family. That’s why you were sent to run this errand. It’s good it’s you. If it were soone else, I’d have to confirm with the Fifth Elder first." He then glanced to the side. "Old Han, I’ll take these two down for a bit."
Old Han nodded, obviously used to this kind of scene.
Naturally, neither Liang Yuanhong nor Jiang Shu would clarify the misunderstanding. They followed Uncle Qin into the ancestral hall and, from a room behind it, descended into the cellar.
A surge of icy coldness rushed towards them.
"The preservation of Essence Blood must be done in a cold place," Uncle Qin explained. "Every prestigious family has different thods. Our Liang Family, for instance, found a piece of thousand-year-old ice and carved a large opening in it. By simply placing a specially made jade bottle inside, the Essence Blood can be preserved indefinitely within."
Taking a key from his waist, Uncle Qin activated a chanism and inserted it. Soon after, the heavy stone gate slowly creaked open a crack.
"Take out the jade bottle the Fifth Elder gave you, drip your Essence Blood into it, and then you can leave."
Uncle Qin stood at the doorway, his expression extrely serious.
Without an elder present, even a genius can’t enter the Essence Blood Secret Chamber alone.
One must realize that this Essence Blood Secret Chamber holds the preserved Essence Blood of all the Liang Family’s Blood Exchange Realm Martial Artists. If sothing went wrong due to carelessness, although there might not be any substantial impact, the punishnt he would receive would be severe!
"Yuanzhou, hurry and take out the jade bottle. This jade bottle is made of excellent material; if used to store Elixirs, it can preserve them for a hundred years without decay..."
Liang Yuanhong’s voice was filled with regret. He was completely unaware that Jiang Shu, beside him, had already taken two quick steps. Jiang Shu feigned taking a jade bottle from his sleeve, but instead, his hand shot out. With an Azure Dragon seizing grip, he grabbed Uncle Qin’s neck and twisted forcefully.
CRACK.
"What was that sound?"
"Your turn..."
As Liang Yuanhong voiced his shock and confusion, his eyes suddenly bulged. A huge palm struck his Heavenly Spirit Cover.
BANG...
His skull shattered, and blood gushed out.
"You know, if you had just let in, none of this would have been necessary, right?" Jiang Shu said.
Two extrely potent Corpse Corrosion Pills were flicked from his fingers, and the two bodies, along with their clothes, were corroded cleanly away.
Jiang Shu gently pushed the stone gate and stepped inside.
Entering this Essence Blood Secret Chamber was indeed far more complicated than I imagined. If I hadn’t brought Liang Yuanhong, I might have needed a jade bottle for verification right at the start. At that point, even if I had killed Uncle Qin imdiately, I wouldn’t have known the true location of the Essence Blood Secret Chamber. Prestigious families truly aren’t to be underestimated.
Without any unnecessary delay, Jiang Shu looked directly at the thousand-year-old ice.
The entire block of thousand-year-old ice was arranged like a staircase.
There are no nas, that’s to be expected. Those in charge of the Essence Blood Secret Chamber naturally know which bottle belongs to whom. But for , this is a bit troubleso.
Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, under Jiang Shu’s guidance, enveloped each jade bottle.
Jiang Shu sensed the strength of the Essence Blood within each one.
I don’t know which bottle of Essence Blood belongs to Liang Tingbo. But given Liang Tingbo advanced to the Acupoint Passage Realm, he must have been a powerful existence in the Blood Exchange Realm. Testing them one by one, I can’t go wrong. I just need to be quick. After all, Old Han is still outside the ancestral hall.
The Storage Bag floated in mid-air.
One by one, jade bottles were drawn by the Yuan Qi and flew over. After being opened, a drop of Essence Blood from each fell into the Storage Bag.
No reaction.
This bottle isn’t it...
Nor is this one...
This bottle... it opened...
Watching a small opening suddenly appear in the Storage Bag, Jiang Shu’s eyes lit up with joy. This operation went much smoother than I expected!
He grabbed the items inside in one swift motion.
There was a piece of beast hide, densely covered with writing on one side and a simple map on the other. There were also several bottles of Elixirs and a Jade Scroll.
Without further inspection, Jiang Shu dripped a drop of his own Essence Blood and began to refine the Storage Bag anew.
Storage Bags are like fingerprint locks on Xuanxing cell phones. Before it’s unlocked, without the corresponding fingerprint, you can only break it open by force. But once you’re on the ’ho page,’ just re-enter the fingerprint, and the phone legitimately becos yours.
A few breaths later, the Storage Bag flew back into Jiang Shu’s embrace; the beast hide, Elixirs, and Jade Scroll were all inside.
The improved Forbidden Technique, the Storage Bag, the Small Five Elents Saber Formation, a top-grade Cultivation Technique... my visit to the Da Jing Dynasty has been incredibly profitable! I don’t even know what this beast hide, these Elixirs, and this Jade Scroll contain.
Muttering to himself, Jiang Shu shot backward and hurriedly made his way out of the ancestral hall.
This isn’t a place to linger. Curiosity will have to wait until I’m sowhere safe.
"Why are you so slow? Where’s Old Qin?"
Old Han furrowed his brows. But just as his words landed, the Blood Exchange Realm genius before him flicked a finger. A bolt of energy, wrapped around a Corpse Corrosion Pill, shot straight through Old Han’s forehead.
In an instant, the body dissolved.
Such a waste. Hopefully, this haul was worth it. An Elixir that can directly corrode a Blood Exchange Realm Martial Artist is naturally no ordinary thing. If leaving corpses wouldn’t lead to quicker discovery, or worse, allow Detachnt Realm experts to find clues, I wouldn’t have wasted them like this.
With no further trouble, Jiang Shu returned to the tavern.
Only then did he unroll the beast hide.
"To the Esteed Ancestor,
I, Tingbo, acquired a map fragnt at an auction. After much searching, I finally pieced most of it together. By a stroke of fortune, I entered the treasure location shown on the map: the tomb of Elder Ming Lei.
Elder Ming Lei’s age, identity, and Cultivation are all unknown, but he was certainly at the Detachnt Realm, or even higher!
The Inner Circle of the tomb has powerful restrictions that I, Tingbo, could not enter. But just from the outer areas, I obtained several bottles of Supre Elixirs and, in one of the secret chambers, found an Ancient Forbidden Technique! This Ancient Forbidden Technique is profound. If cultivated successfully, it will surely help the Ancestor dominate the Detachnt Realm, unrivaled. Even if a legendary Furnace Fire Realm expert were to attack, the Ancestor could ensure their survival!
Regrettably, the map is incomplete. I, Tingbo, did not expect to be ambushed after erging from the tomb. After a struggle, I was wounded to the bone, my heart, and my mind, leaving no hope of survival.
Thus, I have left a ans for a fated person to deliver this Storage Bag.
I have drawn the map of the tomb on the back of this beast hide. The Inner Circle must hold even greater treasures...
If our Liang Family can obtain them, we will undoubtedly beco the dominant force in Yunzhou... If only I had more ti...
I hope the Ancestor, considering my contribution this ti, will look after my grandson, Yuanhong. His Talent is decent; with resources, he still has a chance to reach the Acupoint Passage Realm...
Liang Tingbo... leaves this record."
Sitting in his chair, Jiang Shu reviewed the beast hide twice, morized the map deeply, then imdiately stuffed the hide back into the Storage Bag.
The words on this beast hide were written in Liang Tingbo’s blood. Once the Liang Family discovers the Essence Blood theft from their ancestral hall, even their Detachnt Realm Ancestors might personally search the city. By then, this beast hide would surely be detected. Considering the ti, the incident should be coming to light soon. It’s truly ti to leave.
After putting the top-grade Pill Furnace and the Small Five Elents Blade Plate into his smaller Storage Bag, Jiang Shu grabbed the Jade Scroll, eager to see the Ancient Forbidden Technique that had so shocked soone of noble birth like Liang Tingbo.
The Jade Scroll unfurled.
Five ancient characters, radiating an aura of boundless dominance, appeared.
They seed to pierce the clouds and shatter the sky, materializing before Jiang Shu’s eyes:
"Thunder Peng Netherworld Wings!"
