“Second Brother, watch carefully.” Mi Ziwen stood beside Zhou Shu and reminded him.
They had experimented many times before. They were surprised every time they saw this magical thing.
At the top of the mountain, Yang Hong jumped down as if he was trying to take his life.
During the rapid fall, Yang Hong waved his arms menacingly. Just as he was about to reach the middle of the mountain wall, he suddenly waved his hand into the stone wall, as if the wall had disappeared.
Then with a flash of light, Yang Hong’s figure disappeared.
Zhou Shu’s eyes flickered. He had been staring at Yang Hong just now, but he hadn’t noticed any signs. Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, as fast as lightning.
“Second Brother, we’ve tried. We have to jump down from the top of the mountain, and we can’t use our spiritual essence and fly over directly,” Mi Ziwen said.
Zhou Shu was getting more and more curious. “Big Brother, are you interested in going in and taking a look?”
“Of course.” Mi Ziwen smiled.
Zhou Shu followed the method Mi Ziwen had taught him and jumped down from the top of the mountain. He didn’t use any spiritual essence and fell freely to where Yang Hong had disappeared. He reached out to the mountain wall.
Then he felt a gentle force suddenly envelop his entire body, making him feel weightless.
The next moment, Zhou Shu felt the light in front of him change, and his figure continued to fall.
“Your Highness, be careful!” Yang Hong’s voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s ear.
Without needing Yang Hong’s reminder, Zhou Shu could already see a ten-foot-wide pool appear under him. He was about to fall into it.
With a smile, Zhou Shu turned around in the air and stepped on the water. Riding the wind, he landed beside Yang Hong.
At this moment, Mi Ziwen suddenly appeared above the pool and descended.
It wasn’t the first time Mi Ziwen had come in, so he knew what to expect. He activated his spiritual essence and was already flying.
Yang Hong was envious. It was good to know how to fly.
Every time he came in, he was like a drowned rat…
“This is the place, Your Highness.” As Yang Hong silently circulated his spiritual essence to dry his body, he pointed ahead. “There’s a door here. Sir Mi and I have tried, but we can’t push it open.”
Zhou Shu nodded. He sized up the space he was in.
This place was like a cave formed after the entire back of the mountain wall was hollowed out.
The length, width, and height were dozens of feet. In the entire space, other than the pool, there were only the Heaven Refining Stones piled in the corner.
Thousands of kilograms of Heaven Refining Stones were casually piled there.
Zhou Shu also saw the door Yang Hong talked about.
Directly across from them, on the wall a few steps from the pool, it looked as if someone had opened a hole and then installed double doors.
Rather than doors, they looked more like two slabs of stone. They were plain, but polished smooth and flat.
Zhou Shu walked around the pool to the double doors.
This time, he didn’t draw his sword. Instead, he pressed his hands against the doors.
Boom!
Zhou Shu circulated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, and his arms erupted with immense strength.
Squeak—
With a grinding sound, the two stone doors slowly opened on both sides.
Mi Ziwen and Yang Hong looked at each other and saw the awkwardness in each other’s eyes.
It turned out to be that simple. They couldn’t open it because they were too weak….
“What a heavy door.” Zhou Shu pushed the door open and swung his arms.
“Second Brother, will there be danger behind the door?”
“I don’t think so.” Embarrassed, Mi Ziwen changed the subject. Heavy or not, he couldn’t open it…
Zhou Shu said, “In any case, I don’t sense any living creatures. Big Brother, follow behind me. Don’t be too far away.”
Although he said this, Zhou Shu still placed his hand on the hilt of the earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword before walking inside.
Mi Ziwen and Yang Hong quickly followed.
Past the stone door was a much smaller stone chamber, about ten feet square.
The layout of the stone chamber was simple enough to be seen at a glance.
To the left, against the wall, was a row of wooden shelves. These wooden shelves had seen years of decay and collapse.
To the right of the stone chamber was a smelting furnace, which was covered in green verdigris and obviously hadn’t seen use in years.
In addition, there was a stone bed facing the stone door.
On the stone bed, a sheathed sword was placed horizontally.
Besides this, there was nothing else.
Mi Ziwen and Yang Hong stared at each other. They thought that there was a secret behind the stone door, but this was it?
There was nothing left except a sword and a smelting furnace that could no longer be used?
Yang Hong rubbed his eyes hard and refused to give up.
The result was the same.
“It looks like a retreat for some forger.” Zhou Shu was also surprised. “From the looks of it, the owner’s been gone a long time. I wonder if he’s dead or went somewhere else.”
He sheathed the earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword, then stepped forward to the stone bed.
He picked up the sheathed sword on the stone bed.
“Second Brother, be careful!” Mi Ziwen exclaimed.
It was best not to touch anything in such a place. Who knew if there were any traps?!
Zhou Shu turned around and grinned at Mi Ziwen. “Don’t worry, Big Brother. It’ll be fine.”
Clang!
Zhou Shu separated his hands and drew the sword halfway.
The sword was gray and lusterless. It didn’t look like a divine weapon.
“Longevity…?” Zhou Shu sized up the sword. Near the hilt was a word. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was the word ‘Longevity’.
“This sword is called Longevity?” Mi Ziwen joined him, studying the word.
“I think so,” Zhou Shu said.
“Second Brother, what grade is this Longevity Sword?” Mi Ziwen asked curiously.
This place was extremely mysterious. This Longevity Sword shouldn’t be bad, right?
Although this place wasn’t as special as he had imagined, if he could pick up a heaven-grade weapon, he would have profited.
“Grade?” Zhou Shu flicked the sword and injected a wisp of spiritual essence into it.
Then he looked slightly startled.
He raised his wrist, and another stream of spiritual essence surged out of his body.
His spiritual essence entered the sword like a clay ox entering the sea [1. Meaning never to return].
Mi Ziwen noticed that Zhou Shu was in a daze and said nervously, “Second Brother?”
“It’s nothing.” Zhou Shu came back to his senses and shook his head. “This sword is a little strange.”
“What is so strange about it?” Mi Ziwen was puzzled.
“I don’t know yet. I’ll have to take it back and study it.”
When he injected his spiritual essence into it, it was like a clay ox entering the sea. He couldn’t sense Its grade at all. He tentatively scanned the sword with his divine sense. His divine sense seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and couldn’t penetrate the sword at all.
Zhou Shu had never encountered such a situation before. He had only encountered one thing that his divine sense couldn’t penetrate, and that was the human body.
“Big Brother, Divine Constable Yang, let’s take a look again and see if there’s anything else here,” Zhou Shu said. “This Longevity Sword is a little strange. I’ll take it for now. I’ll give you some benefits later.”
“Second Brother, what are you saying?” Mi Ziwen said unhappily. “You opened this place. Whatever you find is naturally yours.
“As for Yang Hong, he has indeed made a contribution. But don’t worry. He’s now a member of the Hundred Wars Armored Army. I won’t mistreat him.”
Mi Ziwen turned to look at Yang Hong. “Yang Hong, you’ve made a great contribution by discovering this place. In addition to the military reward, I’ll personally reward you with a hundred thousand taels of gold. What do you think?”
The extremely heroic Mi Ziwen was back.
Yang Hong was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. It was true that he had discovered this place, but without Zhou Shu, he couldn’t open the door at all. Therefore, this Longevity Sword actually had nothing to do with him.
This 100,000 taels of gold was definitely a windfall.
“Thank you, Sir Mi,” Yang Hong said loudly.
