Chapter 2315 - 2314: So Many Treasures
Chapter 2315: Chapter 2314: So Many Treasures
Lin Dong saw that there were many treasure troves here.
Entering the first one, he found it full of gold, jewelry, and things like jade.
Lin Dong wasn’t really interested in these; he just took a few pieces of best quality jade articles from within. He could use them to refine ’Jade Amulets’ for protection in the future. His mental power had become stronger than before, so the effect of the ’Jade Amulets’ he refined would also be better than before.
Afterward, Lin Dong headed for the second treasure trove.
The second trove was full of antiques. Lin Dong discovered many antiques there that were once famous in Dragon Country, considered priceless treasures that had been lost.
Unexpectedly, many were collected here.
There was a time when many countries united against Dragon Country, leading to the loss of many national treasures, secret manuals, and priceless treasures overseas.
Just like the Acupuncture Bronze Man, one had drifted to Paocai Nation, and another to Xiong Country.
The Acupuncture Bronze Man in Paocai Nation had already been retrieved by Lin Dong. But the one in Xiong Country still hadn’t been brought back.
Now, this place also held many lost national treasures from Dragon Country. These things originally belonged to Dragon Country, so Lin Dong naturally took them all without holding back.
Once back in the country, he planned to hand them over to the official personnel.
Then Lin Dong arrived at the third treasure trove.
In the third treasure trove, Lin Dong found a collection of martial arts secret manuals.
These martial arts secret manuals came from various countries around the world. Of course, the majority were from Dragon Country.
Dragon Country was indeed the birthplace of martial arts and also the country with the longest martial arts history. Its collection of martial arts secret manuals was numerous beyond counting.
Many martial arts from other countries were derived from the martial arts of Dragon Country.
Adding to the previous joint opposition of many countries, numerous martial arts secret manuals from Dragon Country ended up scattered overseas.
"All these secret manuals should be brought back home. By that time, hand them over to the Martial Alliance. Let them place these martial arts secret manuals in the National Technique Tower." Lin Dong thought.
Afterward, he casually flipped through them and found a few ancient martial arts among these martial arts secret manuals.
Ordinary ancient martial arts evidently couldn’t catch Lin Dong’s eye.
But one particular ancient martial art caught Lin Dong’s attention and he couldn’t help but delve into it.
This ancient martial art was a speed-type and suitable for mental power monks to cultivate.
Its name was ’Phantom Tracing Step’.
Based on cultivation level, it could enhance speed significantly. For example, cultivating the ’Phantom Tracing Step’ to a small accomplishment level could give a 1.5 times speed boost. If cultivated to great accomplishment, it would provide a two times speed boost.
If cultivated to perfection, it could reach a three times speed boost!
Additionally, it had another special trait. If you’re a mental power monk, cultivating this ’Phantom Tracing Step’ allows you to leave behind a mental power shadow while moving.
The mental power shadow could continuously split fake shadows, reaching a level where fiction appeared realistic. Even Heavenly Realm Martial Artists couldn’t distinguish between the real and the fake.
Furthermore, the true body could remain hidden.
"This Phantom Tracing Step truly is a divine technique for escaping." Lin Dong said happily after reading its introduction.
There were originally very few speed-type ancient martial arts. His previous Wind Riding Technique didn’t even classify as a speed-type ancient martial art.
Wind Riding Technique could only be considered a ’Grandmaster’ level speed-type cultivation method. Now that he had this ’Phantom Tracing Step’, his speed would surely reach a new height in the future.
But Lin Dong didn’t cultivate it right away and continued to check out the other treasure troves.
There were five treasure troves in total; Lin Dong had already checked three.
Two more remained.
Lin Dong looked toward the penultimate treasure trove and found it filled with various weapons. The worst kept in there were of famous sword and famous knife caliber.
There were even spiritual devices!
"Master, I want to eat, I want to eat them all..." Seeing these weapons, the ’Xiao Bai’ within the Yangxin Sword shouted.
Lin Dong nodded, as the ’Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi’’s quality was too high, Xiao Bai’s level was lower, so Xiao Bai couldn’t devour it.
Therefore, Lin Dong still let the Spirit and Soul of God Susanoo use the ’Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi’, thus enhancing his combat power more and benefiting Lin Dong more significantly.
Xiao Bai couldn’t devour the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, but it had no problem with these Treasure Swords.
There were over ten famous swords, four First-Order Spiritual Swords, two Second-Order Spiritual Swords, and one Third-Order Spiritual Sword.
At this moment, Lin Dong threw them all to the Yangxin Sword for Xiao Bai to devour.
The Xiao Bai within the Yangxin Sword let out excited cries, extremely thrilled.
"Wow, Master, take me to raid these shrines more often. There are so many good things in these shrines." Xiao Bai said while devouring the Treasure Swords.
Lin Dong couldn’t help but find Xiao Bai’s words amusing.
On further thought, it made perfect sense.
Previously, finding an ancient martial secret book or a Spirit Sword was incredibly difficult. Yet in this Susanoo Shrine, there were so many.
This kind of super noble family over a thousand years old with legendary figures truly had a deep cultural foundation.
However, such noble families were very rare. In Dragon Country, they matched the level of a Hidden Clan.
But extinguishing a Hidden Clan was not something Lin Dong dared to do lightly.
In Yinghua Country, there were fewer considerations. Lin Dong planned to challenge all Four Great Shrines.
If he could annihilate all Four Great Shrines, capture or devour the Spirit and Soul of their shrine owners, and seize their cultural foundation.
Lin Dong believed that such actions would surely elevate his strength across a big tier.
"Wow~~ These Treasure Swords taste so good." Xiao Bai excitedly exclaimed while devouring the Treasure Swords.
It was like a child, full of enthusiasm for many things. And it had a particular passion for ’eating’.
Seeing it like this, Lin Dong couldn’t help but smile.
After that, he turned his gaze to the final treasure trove.
He saw that this last treasure trove stored herbs, Dan medicines, ancient alchemist prescriptions, and the like.
"So many herbs, let’s see if there are any Heavenly and Earthly treasures."
Lin Dong entered the final treasure trove, looking for Heavenly and Earthly treasures.
He indeed found quite a few.
"There aren’t any Medicine King level herbs, those would’ve been consumed long ago if Susanoo had collected any. Such herbs are quite effective for nourishing Spirit and Soul." Lin Dong secretly said.
However, even though there weren’t Medicine King level herbs, there were quite a few Semi Medicine Kings and common Heavenly and Earthly treasures that were hundreds of years old.
Lin Dong counted them up, finding six Semi Medicine Kings and several centuries-old ordinary Heavenly and Earthly treasures.
"With so many Heavenly and Earthly treasures, consuming them would compensate for the Yin energy I previously absorbed with the Devouring Technique."
The energy absorbed by the Devouring Technique was of the Yin nature. If Lin Dong relied on it for cultivation, excess Yin energy would cause him to deviate into evil territory.
Therefore, each time he absorbed something with the Devouring Technique, he needed to balance it with energy converted from Heavenly and Earthly treasures to harmonize the Yin energy with Yin and Yang.
Preventing Lin Dong from deviating into evil territory due to excessive Yin energy.
"Looks like coming to Yinghua Country was really worth it!" Lin Dong thought as he gazed at the final treasure trove.
He was quite eager to take action and wanted to immediately head for those mystical shrines.
This trip to Yinghua Country has definitely not been in vain!
