First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 167: Raiding the Treasure Vault

The Spirit Rat had once communicated with him through divine thoughts.

But it was far from the same as seeing it with his own eyes, which had a strong impact.

First, there were spirit stones.

There were over a hundred high-grade spirit stones and tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, all packed in a large ironwood box and piled up in a corner of the treasure vault.

Without much thought, Shen Mo directly sealed them all into his Qiankun Bag.

"Mysterious Crystal, Heavenly Geng Ore, Tai Xuan Goldstone... Thousand-Year Polygonum, Qianyuan Fruit, Lustrous Tree Root..."

Various materials for forging, alchemy, and talisman-making, totaling more than five hundred types, with an approximate value of around twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

As for finished magical tools, elixirs, and talismans, there weren't many.

This could be understood as well.

With the continuous departure of disciples from the Immortal Sect and wandering cultivators, Tian Shun Country no longer had the ability to refine these raw materials into magical tools and the like.

And the number of evil creatures in the territory had become rampant.

Most of the experts who came to the Garrison Office to collect rewards would choose magical tools, elixirs, and talismans to enhance their own combat power.

Without replenishment, the consumption was high...

How could there be a large number of finished spiritual objects in the Garrison Office's treasure vault?

The remaining ones were just some inferior goods that Shen Mo didn't even bother with, so he simply stuffed them all into his Qiankun Bag.

However, there were exceptions.

On the display shelves for magical tools, there were actually two Profound Grade high-grade magical tools and one Profound Grade middle-grade magical tool.

Their value was too great.

The strongest among them were only martial artists and extraordinary individuals at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. Who had the ability to kill enough evil creatures to exchange for three magical tools?

So they had been kept all along!

In terms of value, they should be among the highest-valued items in the Garrison Office's treasure vault.

Two Profound Grade high-grade magical tools, one of which was a fist-sized lump of golden iron sand.

"Nine Extremes Crystal Sand Gang!"

As his divine sense swept over the introduction jade slip placed together with it, Shen Mo couldn't help but feel delighted.

This magical tool was refined using a large amount of high-grade mineral materials.

Each extreme required the removal of inferior materials and one round of smelting and casting. The nine extremes required nine rounds, which was extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Until it was refined from substantial crystal sand into an intangible evil gang.

After complete refinement, it could be hidden in the meridians and sea of qi within the body.

Similar to the nature of the Netherworldly Fire!

If not used regularly, it could also rely on the power of the magical tool to greatly enhance physical strength.

After refining by a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm's initial stage, relying on the Nine Extremes Crystal Sand Gang, they could withstand a full-force attack from someone in the Qi Gathering Realm's middle stage, only being injured but not killed!

With a thought, it could also be summoned outside the body to defend against enemies.

Or it could flow on the surface of the body, forming a protective layer like inner armor or a magical robe.

Or it could all be expanded, transforming into a qi gang shield, using it to resist immortal techniques, sword qi, and other offensive moves.

It could be said to be responsive and extremely powerful!

Shen Mo temporarily suppressed the excitement in his heart, put it away, and then his gaze fell on the second high-grade magical tool.

It looked like a jade eyeball!

The white of the eye and the pupil were distinct.

Through the introduction jade slip, Shen Mo learned that this jade eye was called the "Flawless Dharma Eye," which meant seeing a thousand miles without missing anything.

It was different from the special destiny he wore, the "Gaze Like a Torch"!

The Flawless Dharma Eye was a magical tool for observing the surrounding movements, but it didn't have the effect of seeing through the essence!

But compared to a cultivator's vision and divine sense exploration, its range and level of detail were much greater.

If the user had enough spiritual power in their body.

They could even see ants crawling on the ground a hundred miles away!

The last magical tool was a middle-grade armor.

Named "Suanni Heavy Armor"!

It was domineering and majestic.

Made entirely of refined gold and spirit iron, weighing eight hundred jin, its defensive capabilities were probably not weaker than a high-grade magical robe!

But for Shen Mo, it was a bit disappointing.

First, he was wearing a Qinghun Robe, which had a defense power no weaker than the Suni Heavy Armor.

Moreover, he had just obtained a high-grade magic weapon, the Jiujie Crystal Sand Armor.

After refining it, it could be expected that his defensive ability would be further enhanced.

The Qinghun Robe and the Jiujie Crystal Sand Armor were unable to withstand a strong attack, and wearing another heavy armor on top of them would not be very useful!

In addition, this heavy armor was too cumbersome for him.

It would greatly affect his ability to perform the Shangqing Sword Technique and his sword flying ability.

To exchange two powerful means of defense for a defense that was like chicken ribs would be too foolish!

Therefore, Shen Mo had no intention of refining this heavy armor magic weapon.

He directly threw it into a corner of the Qiankun Bag, ready to auction it off in a market in the future.

"The Jiujie Crystal Sand Armor and the Unleakable Dharma Eye can be refined!"

"They will also enhance my strength to a certain extent."

"In addition, I don't have enough pills and talismans on hand."

"With so many materials in the treasure trove, I can take this opportunity to refine a batch."

"For other materials, I will pick out the relatively rare ones and sell the ones that are easily obtainable..."

Shen Mo started to take action, sweeping up all the resources in the treasure trove.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The Spirit Cache Rat was also in the treasure trove, scurrying around.

It helped him pick out the more valuable materials.

"You lazy thing! The Tai Xuanjin Stone is a high-level casting material, don't mix it up with the Xuanjing Ore."

"Don't touch the Bitter Thorn Smiling Vine, it's highly poisonous. Even if you have a Savage Wilderness Demon Body, it won't feel good if you get pricked."

The master and servant were busy and happy.

In just an hour, they had emptied the treasure trove of the Garrison Bureau.

But it didn't end there. Shen Mo set his sights on the formations spread throughout the treasure trove, preparing to take advantage of their power.

"At the peak of the Gathering Qi Realm, I can still suppress intruders in the treasure trove!"

"If we convert it, that would be a peak second-order demon. As long as there is no third-order demon, it is still safe in this treasure trove for now."

"First, refine the Jiujie Crystal Sand Armor and the Unleakable Dharma Eye."

"After that, refine a batch of energy-recovering pills and second-grade talismans."

"By then, there will probably be few survivors in Tianshun Kingdom. I can use the Soul Refining Banner to summon more powerful demons."

"By the time this country completely falls into chaos, I believe my journey will come to an end."

If it were an ordinary second-level Gathering Qi Realm cultivator, they would have long since died and their souls would have been destroyed!

But now, Shen Mo's true combat power was enough to match a seventh-level Gathering Qi Realm cultivator.

Relying on his strong strength, he had only encountered minor dangers along the way.

But Shen Mo had a premonition in his heart that the trials of the Ghost Gate Secret Realm were not so simple.

The most difficult situation might not have arrived yet.

He needed to seize the time to improve his own strength before Tianshun Kingdom completely fell into chaos.

"Huh?"

Just as Shen Mo was about to refine the Jiujie Crystal Sand Armor, his mind suddenly stirred.

The Soul Refining Banner sent a perception.

The Green Skin Ghost Servant left at the city gate had been killed.

This Green Skin Ghost, named "Iron Mountain" by Shen Mo, had reached the late second-order stage of strength.

To be able to kill it, the attacker must be at least a peak second-order demon.

With a hand seal, Shen Mo activated the Soul Refining Banner and transmitted orders to the Bride Ghost on the city wall.

After a moment, the Bride Ghost floated into the Garrison Bureau's treasure trove, carrying the heavily injured Zhang Taian.

She threw Zhang Taian on the ground and then entered the Soul Refining Banner herself.

Immediately, Shen Mo's spiritual power quickly entered the compass.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, all the formations and restrictions outside the treasure trove were activated.

Spiritual light flickered.

Killing intent soared.

A wanton massacre of pursuing demons began!
