Chapter 1415: Unlocking the Secret Treasure Trove
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation“Mr. Chen! What happened? What’s wrong with the young lord?” Old Meng was running back to the tent, looking nervous.“It’s probably because …. the medicine was too strong that the young lord has already begun to liberate himself. There’s no need to get Wenren Muyue, just let him pleasure himself.” Chen Xiaobei said.“Plea… Pleasure himself?” Old Meng was shocked.“Ah, don’t worry, Old Meng. Sure you can go take a look yourself. But let me give you a friendly warning, it’s going to hurt your eyes!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.“Er…”Old Meng thought for a second, when he suddenly opened the curtains of the tent, stuck his head inside, and then immediately popped back out, squeezing his eyes shut.“He’s okay, right? Should we stop him? If he continues like that, the pillar is going to break.”Old Meng’s brows were furrowed, and his forehead creased.“We can’t stop him! He’s already too into it. If we stop him halfway, it may be… damaging to him!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Trust me, let him get it out of his system. After a night’s sleep, he’ll be fine the next morning.”“Mm, your wine really was too powerful. The young lord really needed to, err… get it out of his system, but doing it this way is just too…” Old Meng could not seem to find the right words.“Don’t worry. If there’s any problem tomorrow, I will take full responsibility!” Chen Xiaobei said confidently.“Fine! We’ll just let him be then. I’ll keep watch here. You go ahead and rest!” Old Meng said. “Oh, by the way, it looks like I lost the bet. Here’s your 100 medium-grade Spiritual Stones.”“No! You didn’t lose! I didn’t actually talk him out of it. The young lord couldn’t control himself, that’s why it should be considered a tie!”Chen Xiaobei smiled.“Oh? 100 medium-grade Spiritual Stones is not a small number. Are you sure you want to count it as a tie?” Old Meng asked.Chen Xiaobei nodded. “Of course!”“Fine! Then I will give you what you deserve!” Old Meng took out 100 medium-grade Spiritual Stones, and handed them to Chen Xiaobei. “Nowadays, there are not many young men like you who are not greedy! Very rare indeed!”“Old Meng, you shouldn’t praise me too much!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Tonight, you have to keep watch. Tomorrow morning, I will come and check up on him again!”“Good! Good!”Old Meng nodded.After that, Chen Xiaobei retreated to his own tent.“I’ve earned a huge sum of Spiritual Stones today. Now, I have a total of 3.6 million low-grade Spiritual Stones! I can do a lot of things with that!”Chen Xiaobei changed into his Nightstalker outfit. “Next, I have to find the Overgrown Forest’s hidden treasure before dawn! I only have a few hours left!”Chen Xiaobei hurried out of the camp. Only when he was a good distance away, did Chen Xiaobei retrieve a Spirit Summoning Talisman from the Infinite Space Ring.“Heaven and earth, hear my command! Allow me to borrow the force of nature!” Chen Xiaobei held the talisman between his fingers, and shouted, “I, in the name of Spirit Oracle, summon all evil spirits that are around me! Hear my command!”Once he had finished, the talisman began to go up in flames.The flames were in a strange blue shade that did not burn to the touch but was instead bone-piercingly cold!Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!All at once, evil spirits emerged from the ground everywhere around like bamboo shoots after a rain shower!These evil spirits were all half human, and half beast. Thousands of them swarmed towards Chen Xiaobei.This was the effect of the Spirit Summoning Talisman: invoking all the evil spirits within a one kilometer radius, and for one whole hour, they would all be under Chen Xiaobei’s command.“Who knows if there’s a treasury nearby that was left behind by the Overgrown Forest nobles?”Chen Xiaobei had not hesitated to use the last Spirit Summoning Talisman to summon these evil spirits who had been buried in the ground for a long time to find the location of the hidden treasures that Overgrown Forest held!However, most of the evil spirits shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.“Based on Lu Changwei’s behavior, the hidden treasure should be nearby! Why don’t any of these evil spirits know anything about it?” Chen Xiaobei rubbed his forehead.He had already figured out the Lu family’s plans; every nook and cranny of it. There was no way he was wrong!“I know where it is!”Suddenly, an evil spirit in human form floated towards Chen Xiaobei.“Good! You can take me there! The rest of you can leave!” Chen Xiaobei waved them away, and the other evil spirits left, leaving only the human-form evil spirits which floated towards the east.Chen Xiaobei followed closely behind.Soon, after travelling for only about one kilometer, the human-form evil spirits stopped in front of a small hill.“The hidden treasures are under this hill? Where is the entrance? I don’t see it!” Chen Xiaobei asked.“The entrance is here in between this stone wall!” the evil spirit said.“Is it? Why can’t I see it?” Chen Xiaobei scanned the rock but he could not see it. “I have the key. But there’s no keyhole on this stonewall!”“It’s here! The key is in this groove! 500 years ago, I saw someone enter this place with my own eyes!”“Good!” Chen Xiaobei walked up to the stone wall, took out the key and pushed it into the groove. There was a secret keyhole there!Crack! Crack! Voom!Chen Xiaobei twisted the key, and the secret mechanism in the stone wall began to move. The stone wall, made up of two 10 centimeter thick, large doors made of a special mixture of metals, parted open and revealed a long, wide passage.Inside was a flight of stairs that lead underground.“Haha! It’s here! Treasure, here I come!” Chen Xiaobei rushed down the stairs laughing away.No one had entered the place for 500 years, so Chen Xiaobei did not need to worry about facing nay danger.After about 10 meters downwards, the space suddenly opened up.“My god!” Chen Xiaobei stood at the steps, and took in a big gulp of air.The treasury was colossal. It was at least a few thousand meters wide, and differed slighty from a conventional treasury.There were only three types of things in there: Spiritual Stones, Spiritual Medicine, and Spiritual Instruments!On top of that, these things were all scattered all over the place.Located on the left was a pile of Spiritual Instruments. There were about a thousand of them, mostly weapons and armor used for combat.On the right were thousands of wooden boxes of different sizes with precious Spiritual Medicine inside. Some even carried pills that were a rare concoction.And right at the center was a mountain of Spiritual Stones, a dense mixture of low-grade and medium-grade Spiritual Stones. The pile in its entirety towered a few meters above the floor. It was difficult to tell how many were there just by looking at it!
