"Wow, this place is even bigger than the Treasure Pavilion in Shrek City!"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, gazing at the magnificent and splendid building before her. The Body Sect's Treasure Building wasn't a new structure, but rather located inside the Body Tower itself.
From the outside, nothing was discernible, but once inside, its internal area was indeed more than twice as large as the Treasure Pavilion.
This place was guarded year-round by Titled Douluo, as it was, after all, the foundation of the Body Sect, and couldn't be emptied out by others.
Proceeding inwards, the Treasure Pavilion was divided into three sections.
The first section contained valuable treasures, to put it plainly, it was like a place to store money. After all, no matter how powerful a sect was, they still needed to eat. Without money,
it wouldn't work; they couldn't just rob or dine and dash every meal. Even if they were to commit evil deeds, such methods would be too low-grade.
The second section held medicinal herbs and spirit bones of thousand-year and ten-thousand-year levels. From here on, this was the place where Soul Masters hoped to enter. It was a pity, however,
that Yuwen Tuo observed that there were no immortal-grade herbs. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind exchanging the other hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus spirit bone he had for an immortal herb.
"Tuo'er, didn't you say you wanted to exchange a ten-thousand-year spirit bone, plus the great merit of killing Xuanzi, for a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone? Just leave the ten-thousand-year spirit bone there," Lu Si said, pointing to an empty counter.
"Alright!" Yuwen Tuo nodded, taking out a right leg bone from his soul tool and placing it on the counter.
Lu Si said, "Mm, a sixty-thousand-year Werewolf right leg bone, good stuff. It must have dropped from Xuanzi, right? This spirit bone is quite suitable for our Body Sect people." He was indeed an expert in treasures, his gaze sharp as a torch,
instantly discerning the origin and age of the spirit bone. He was even more skilled than the Snow Empress, a soul beast herself. It seemed he was also quite proficient in soul beast theory, even stronger than Yuwen Tuo.
Yuwen Tuo had also read soul beast bestiaries, but could only be considered to have learned fairly well; compared to a true theoretical master, there was still a certain gap.
"Let's go, the real main event is next." Lu Si stroked his small mustache and said proudly. He was very confident in his family's collection.
He stepped forward and pushed open the innermost door. The innermost layer was much smaller than the two outer layers, but Yuwen Tuo noticed that the walls here were made of special ore.
"Spinel, Qinglanggan!" Yuwen Tuo exclaimed in shock. "To actually use this kind of ore, which can forge divine weapons, to enclose this room, it's too extravagant!"
Although spinel and qinglanggan were not as precious as deep-sea sunken silver, they were still very hard metals. Even a Titled Douluo would find it difficult to break through from the outside.
"Oh, you have good taste, you even recognize spinel and qinglanggan!" Lu Si chuckled. "After all, this is the most important place in our Body Sect, and we can't let anyone steal from it."
Yuwen Tuo nodded and looked ahead, seeing nine counters in front of him. Five of the counters were empty, while the other four each displayed a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone. The five empty ones should be the spirit bones taken by Dou Busi, Jin Peng, Miaoxin, and Long Aotian.
Yuwen Tuo actively stepped forward, took out the spirit bone of the Baluga, and placed it in one of the empty slots. Since it was an exchange, he naturally presented his own first before taking a new one. Lu Si nodded in satisfaction at Yuwen Tuo's thoughtfulness.
"Tuo'er, let me introduce you to the remaining four hundred-thousand-year spirit bones. They are the hundred-thousand-year Three-Eyed Giant Skull, the hundred-thousand-year Ghost Demon Wolf Right Leg Bone,
the hundred-thousand-year Death Tyrant Dragon Right Arm Bone, and the hundred-thousand-year Fiery Blade Emperor Left Arm Bone." Lu Si walked to the left arm bone, picked it up, and said, "Tuo'er, this spirit bone is the most suitable for you here. This is my suggestion."
Yuwen Tuo didn't dispute it; indeed it was. The Fiery Blade Emperor was the royal lineage of his Fire Elephant martial spirit's first spirit ring, the Fiery Blade Demon. It could only be called an Emperor once it reached one hundred thousand years.
This type of soul beast was covered in blades, incredibly aggressive, could complement the Xuanyuan Sword, and happened to be fire-attributed, perfectly matching his Fire Elephant martial spirit. It was indeed the best choice.
"Thank you, Elder. Then my first piece will be this one." Yuwen Tuo didn't refuse his kind offer. A spirit bone with such high compatibility with him was rare, especially one of the hundred-thousand-year level.
"What about the second piece? What will you choose?" Lu Si didn't offer any suggestions for the second piece, leaving it entirely to Yuwen Tuo to pick.
"The Three-Eyed Giant Skull!" Yuwen Tuo said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao beside him was startled. She knew that Yuwen Tuo already had a skull spirit bone. This second piece, the Death Tyrant Dragon spirit bone,
was clearly more suitable for him as a power attack type. But instead of choosing what was suitable for him, he chose a part he already had. It was clearly not for himself. Could it be for her?
Seeing Xiao Xiao's shocked and confused eyes, Yuwen Tuo took Xiao Xiao's hand and said, "Do you remember? That day, Shaozhe Yan promised you, to keep you in the academy, at least one hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, plus three top-grade ten-thousand-year spirit bones.
I told you later that if you came with me, I would definitely give you better treatment. My words, Yuwen Tuo's words, have never been taken back in this life."
"Tuo'er, I didn't come for this..." Hearing this, Xiao Xiao's heart wasn't overly joyful. She wasn't seeking better treatment; it was because she liked Yuwen Tuo that she was willing to follow him to the ends of the earth.
Yuwen Tuo smiled and stroked Xiao Xiao's head. "I know all that, so this isn't really about treatment. It's a boyfriend's affection for his girlfriend."
"Cough, cough." Lu Si looked at the two of them and couldn't help but cough. These two little brats, how old were they? In their prime cultivation age of thirteen or fourteen, instead of practicing diligently, they were falling in love.
And even worse, they were flaunting it in front of him. Didn't they know he was over ninety years old and still a bachelor?
But he didn't want to talk about it either. He, Lu Si, had no interest in beauty. He was the quintessential miser; money, treasures, spirit bones—these were far more valuable than beautiful women.
But not wanting to date didn't mean he enjoyed watching others flaunt their relationships in front of him. He only wished that all lovers in the world would become biological siblings.
"You two, have you chosen your spirit bones? If you have, take them and go. Absorb them yourselves back home. Don't linger here. Hurry up and scram!"
Lu Si directly ordered them to leave.
Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Xiao quickly stepped forward, took the spirit bones, placed them into their soul tools, and then hurried out of the Treasure Pavilion. They felt that if they didn't leave soon, this Fourth Elder would explode.
As the two left the Body Tower, they saw two people waiting for them outside. It was Wiena and Long Aotian.
"Looks like you've chosen your spirit bones. That's great. As the Princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, I've been in the sect for years and haven't even been bestowed a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone,"
Wiena said with a smile, then looked at Xiao Xiao with envy. "Your husband had the chance to choose two. He must have prepared one for you, right? You're so lucky, unlike me."
