Chapter 81 Mysterious Stone

Chapter 81 Mysterious Stone

Inside the passage, light flowed, seemingly containing some ancient and mysterious power that inspired awe.

"There are many forbidden magic arrays inside the treasure vault. Remember to stay close to me to avoid accidentally triggering them."

Once the passage opened, Yunxi didn't say much else. She just glanced back at Shi An, gave him a few instructions, and then stepped inside first.

Yunxi moved with light, graceful steps, her figure appearing and disappearing in the light, like a fairy walking on clouds.

"Thank you for reminding me, young lady!"

Upon hearing this, Shi An's gaze sharpened slightly. He didn't take it lightly, but instead became secretly vigilant and followed closely behind Yun Xi.

After all, this treasure vault is a vital location for the Celestial Race, and it must be full of traps and mechanisms. If he is not careful, he will suffer a loss, but he will be embarrassed!

And so, the two of them, one in front of the other, followed the path paved with light deep into the treasure vault.

Inside the passage, Yunxi moved with light steps, as if she knew everything about the place.

Shi An followed closely behind, his steps steady, always keeping an eye on the changes around him.

Before long, the two arrived inside the treasure vault.

Inside the treasure vault, a dazzling light shimmered, and all sorts of rare and precious treasures, magical artifacts, and rare natural materials were arranged in an orderly fashion on the shelves, a dazzling array that was simply overwhelming.

Among them are gems that shimmer with mysterious light, precious bones that exude an ancient aura, and weapons that appear ordinary yet contain astonishing power.

"Go and choose!"

Just as Shi An's gaze was drawn to the items shimmering with precious light, Yun Xi's voice suddenly rang out beside him: "Remember, you can only choose three items."

"understood."

Shi An nodded, and then began to carefully browse the treasures in the vault.

Shi An strolled through the treasure vault, each step taken with extreme caution. He scanned each treasure, silently assessing their value and purpose.

It can be said that the Celestial Race truly lives up to its reputation as a race living in the ancient divine mountains. Any single treasure in this treasury would be enough to cause a bloodbath if placed in the outside world.

Fireleaf Orchid, Flying Phoenix Grass, Coiled Dragon Flower, Blood Essence Bead, Purple Star Orchid...

Black Gold, Amethyst Core, Dragon Blood Soil, Blue Ocean Diamond, Blue Spirit Gold, Primal True Feathers...

Shrinking Earth Talisman, Immobilization Talisman, Sky-Piercing Talisman...

Looking at the dazzling array of treasures in the vault, Shi An hesitated about which one to choose.

Although these things cannot compare to those in the Purple Spirit Domain, they are even more desirable to him than those in the Purple Spirit Domain. This is because he can hardly use anything in the Purple Spirit Domain now, while the items in this treasure vault, although not of a high level, are just right for his current cultivation level.

"Can I only choose three items...?"

Shi An hesitated, scanning the treasures among them.

Although he wanted to pack everything up and take it all with him, that was clearly impossible.

Glancing at Yunxi's wary gaze, Shi An finally sighed, slowly walked to a spiritual herb that emitted a faint golden light and seemed to contain powerful vitality, and turned to Yunxi to say, "Thank you for your trouble, young lady."

"call out!"

Upon seeing this, Yunxi's token immediately emitted a beam of purple light, breaking the taboo on the spiritual herb.

As the purple light shot out, a crack almost pierced through the original intact token. It seemed that if this happened twice more, the token would most likely be completely destroyed.

"Really..."

Upon seeing this, Shi An couldn't help but twitch his lips, and then without further hesitation, pointed to the other two items.

One of these two items is a complete piece of precious bone. If Shi An's guess is correct, it should contain a precious technique, which can be taken back to expand the village's resources.

The other item was a piece of pitch-black stone.

It's unclear whether the Celestial Race failed to detect the true nature of the stone or if it was specifically chosen by him.

Although Shi An didn't know exactly what it was, he was certain that this stone was the most valuable item in this treasure trove, because when he approached it, the Chaos Bell in his sea of ​​consciousness moved almost imperceptibly.

That's why he chose it.

"Click!"

As expected, the token in Yunxi's hand shattered after she obtained the three items.

"Let's go, we should head back."

After glancing at the token shattered into several pieces in her hand, Yunxi turned and beckoned Shi An to leave the treasure vault.

"Thank you so much, young lady!"

Outside the treasure vault, Shi An thanked Yun Xi once again.

"No, I'm just following orders."

However, Yunxi only replied calmly to Shi An's thanks, and then reached out her hand to him again, saying, "Now you should give it back to me."

"Give it back to you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi An was taken aback, but he quickly realized what she meant. She was asking him for the Lingxi Pendant that had been forcibly taken away.

Having figured this out, Shi An casually took it out.

"Give it back to me!"

Seeing her spirit pendant appear, Yunxi reached out to take it back, but missed.

Just as she reached out, Shi An swayed and bypassed her.

"you·······"

Seeing Shi An dart to the other side, Yun Xi frowned slightly, clearly not expecting him to do that. She then said with displeasure, "What do you mean by this?"

Seeing that Yunxi had given up on trying to take it, Shi An slowly stopped, turned around, and said with a playful smile, "Miss, don't be in such a hurry. This spirit pendant was compensation you gave me; how can you just take it back like that?"

"Furthermore, the entire Ancient Divine Mountain, and even the towns below it, now know that you have lost a Spirit Rhinoceros Pendant. If I return it to you now, won't it appear to outsiders that you have been abandoned?"

"So what!"

Yun Xi completely disregarded Shi An's remarks, replying calmly, "Besides, do you think, with my talent, people would believe I was abandoned, or that I abandoned them?"

After saying that, Yunxi asked Shi An again, "Tell me, what exactly do you want in order to return the Spirit Rhinoceros Pendant to me?"

"Well..."

Hearing Yunxi's words, Shi An gently raised the Lingxi Pendant in his hand and examined it in the sunlight.

Bathed in the warm sunlight, the Lingxi pendant emitted a faint purple light, appearing exceptionally enchanting, as if it contained some indescribable magic.

Shi An's gaze swept over the objects, as if he were deep in thought.

In the original novel, the Spirit Pendant runs through the entire process of Shi Hao and Yun Xi from acquaintance to understanding, to falling in love, and finally to being in love.

But now it seems that, due to his sudden intrusion, although Yunxi had also interacted with Shi Hao, it wasn't to the extent of being unforgettable like in the original story. On the contrary, it was him...

As he thought about it, Shi An's gaze toward Yun Xi gradually became complicated.

So, does this mean he ruined his own brother's marriage?
