Hearing the question, Shen Xu sighed and shrugged.
"Who knows?!" He said and immediately changed the subject.
"The second treasure is the cause and effect pools." He said.
The Xuanwu secret realm had nine cause and effect pools. Each pool could help a cultivator cleanse their luck and remove unnecessary karma.
That said, the cause and effect pools were even more mysterious than the sacred places.
First, they appeared at random and couldn't be mapped.
Second, each pool had a Xuanwu guardian.
Ordinarily, cultivators needed to fight and kill guardians to access treasures but this wasn't the case for the cause and effect pools.
Instead of fighting, cultivators needed to bribe the Xuanwu guardians and the length of time they could stay in the pools depended on how much the guardians liked the bribe.
As a result, some cultivators could soak in the pool for a thousand years while others could only stay for less than a day.
