Chapter Title: Looting the Dragon Treasury
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After clearly seeing the truth behind the Four Treasures of the Study, Lu Yang didn't hesitate at all and directly stowed them away.
‘The appearance of the Four Treasures of the Study isn't just for show; it's also a form of seal. Without sufficient bloodline qualifications, it's probably impossible to unseal and retrieve the treasures.’
‘No wonder. This is the true purpose of [True Dragon Bloodline]!’
He had even secretly doubted it in his heart before, wondering why [True Dragon Bloodline]—which seemed like nothing more than a downgraded version of [Natural Spirit Child]—could be a golden talent.
Now it was clear that the Book of a Hundred Lives' judgment was indeed precise.
The utility of [True Dragon Bloodline] didn't lie in those minor boosts it provided, but in allowing him to legitimately inherit the True Dragon clan's property!
‘Almost everything in this treasury is sealed; only a True Dragon can access it, and not even any mixed-blood—it has to be a Dragon Lord in person, at Tian Qiu's level. Without the [True Dragon Bloodline] talent, even entering the treasury would leave me sighing in vain.’
"Not bad, not bad."
Lu Yang sighed in admiration as he stowed the *Heavenly Speech Radiant Glory Dragon Scripture* into his storage sack. After pondering for a moment, he also collected the desk that held the items.
After all, it was made of [Jia Wood]!
Such top-grade spiritual material could be refined into a superior spiritual treasure with a bit of effort. Why pass it up? Who ever complained about having too much money?
"All mine!"
Soon, Lu Yang arrived at the bookshelf on the left, his gaze falling on the teapot on the first shelf. He lifted the lid, revealing a pool of spiritual water inside.
Suo Huan, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow at the sight.
"[Heavenly One True Water]?"
Lu Yang's eyes lit up upon hearing this: the essence of all waters, the purest yin essence. A single drop could transform into rivers and seas—a top-tier spiritual material for refining blessed lands.
"It's said that this substance embodies the principle of ‘Heaven begets water with One, Earth accomplishes it with Six,’ so by using just one drop daily and channeling it into a blessed land to circulate for six-sixths, thirty-six days, it can maximize the blessed land's potential, accumulating sufficient foundation for future ascension into a cavern heaven."
With that thought, Lu Yang immediately turned to Tian Qiu.
Tian Qiu nodded in confirmation. "Indeed. This was prepared by Father, just waiting for me to condense my blessed land so it could rapidly bring it to completion."
"..."
What a filthy rich family!
While inwardly cursing this shameless method of cultivation through sheer resources, Lu Yang stowed all the [Heavenly One True Water] into Lihen Tian.
Mine now!
But that wasn't all. He also casually pocketed the teapot—after all, anything capable of holding such spiritual water had to be a treasure itself!
"What's next?"
Lu Yang shifted his gaze to the seal on the second shelf of the left bookshelf, where bold characters were engraved: [Dragon Lord of Dividing Waters: Extended Blessing Manifest Response].
‘This is... the Dragon clan's merit and destiny!?’ Lu Yang picked up the treasure seal and weighed it in his hand, immediately sensing an unprecedented heaviness. Inspecting it with [Exquisite Heart], his vision blurred into a misty haze, where he vaguely saw myriad dragons surging, summoning clouds and rain.
‘Of course. This is the Dragon Lord preparing to join the Dao Court.’
Quite thorough—even the official title was planned out. This was a massive reserve of destiny; using it to power [Fortune-Divining Lottery Draw] would almost guarantee a grand auspicious result!
After a moment's thought, Lu Yang pocketed the seal.
"Mine now!"
On the third shelf of the left bookshelf lay a jade stone with seven orifices, rising and falling slightly like a living thing, ceaselessly inhaling and exhaling vast amounts of spiritual energy.
"This is called [Separation and Union Jade Tablet]."
Tian Qiu explained from the side, "It has seven orifices. By dripping a drop of heart blood onto it, you can transfer various external forces imposed on yourself into the jade tablet."
"The more external energies the jade tablet absorbs, the more of its innate seven orifices will close. Once all seven are sealed, it means the tablet is fully saturated and unusable. You must then spend time refining it with mana fire until the orifices reopen for reuse."
It was a protective treasure.
If Tian Qiu had carried this [Separation and Union Jade Tablet] back then, Lu Yang might not have been able to take him down—perhaps he would have escaped successfully.
"Mine too!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Yang stowed it away.
He then dismantled the now-empty left bookshelf entirely and collected it, leaving not a single thread for the Dragon clan.
The right bookshelf.
On the first shelf was a small chest, also requiring bloodline verification to open. When Lu Yang unlocked it, a torrent of spiritual energy rushed out.
"Hiss!"
So much! So big! So full!
It looked like a mere small chest, but inside was a hidden space spanning a hundred li, piled high with small mountains of all sorts of spiritual materials!
These were the rare treasures the Dragon clan had plundered from overseas across countless years of dominance: spiritual wood, spiritual fire, spiritual water, spiritual earth, spiritual iron—the five elements in full, every kind accounted for, all meticulously selected, even showing faint signs of mutual enhancement.
"This was also prepared by Father."
Tian Qiu hurriedly explained, "Waiting for me to refine my blessed land, then using these materials to construct a five elements cycle within, increasing the odds of transforming it into a cavern heaven..."
At this point, Tian Qiu sounded a bit wistful.
"Come to think of it, there were several times more of these materials a few thousand years ago. It's just that my elder brother used up more than half seeking metal..."
Lu Yang: "..."
What a waste!
For a moment, Lu Yang's eyes turned red.
Despite burning through so many materials, the previous life's Tian Qiu had still been solo-killed by Suo Huan. Piling them on Tian Qiu was practically criminal squandering.
"To prevent this from happening again, I'll have to work a bit harder myself..."
With that thought, Lu Yang waved his hand grandly, sweeping all the spiritual materials from the chest into Lihen Tian—of course, he didn't spare the chest itself.
I want it all!
The final item was a crystal orb. Lu Yang peered into it and saw a vast, boundless sea domain and magnificent vistas within.
‘This is a blessed land... no, a cavern heaven!’
A fragment of a cavern heaven!
At this moment, Lu Yang was once again deeply shocked by the True Dragon clan's filthy rich ways. No wonder they hadn't let a whisper escape.
Forget anything else—if the Saint Sect learned of this, Dragon Palace would never know peace again.
"This is a fragment of [Heavenly Canopy Purifying Profound Cavern Heaven]."
Tian Qiu explained once more from the side, "It's said to have been left by a Dragon Lord on the same level as Father, who held the fruit position of [Heavenly River Water]."
"By Father's plan, if our clan could produce another Dragon Lord who attains [Heavenly River Water], they could refine this cavern heaven fragment, greatly accelerating the nurturing of their cavern heaven and shortening the time to advance to mid-Golden Core. But to date, no dragon has made use of it."
"Mine now!"
Before the words finished echoing, Lu Yang had already pocketed the crystal orb, his hands trembling with excitement. Without a doubt, he had struck it rich this time!
"No time to waste—let's go!"
Lu Yang's expression grew tense. No matter how many resources, carrying them around was a crime in itself. Only by converting them into strength could he relax!
‘At this rate... could I have a shot at seeking gold in this life too?’
Soon, he dismantled the now-empty right bookshelf and stowed it away.
"This treasury is so vast and holds so many treasures—it must be a treasure itself. Dig up the floor, tear down the ceiling!"
He wasn't greedy.
It was just that with the treasury emptied, the Dragon Lord would be heartbroken upon return. Better to take the whole thing—out of sight, out of mind.
Hey, I'm such a great guy!
