Chapter 232: Chapter 161: Xuan Haisheng, Treasure Vault, Tea Party_3
"Hmm!" Mo Yan had seen Yang Ji's performance before and was quite satisfied as she nodded, "Come out and follow me to the treasury to get some fruits for use at the tea banquet later."
"The treasury?"
"It's the treasury of our Taichu Foreign Affairs Hall, where many treasures are stored, all obtained from other worlds. They are used to reward subordinates and cultivate power, simply put, to encourage those below to work hard, and it would be a waste not to use these treasures," Mo Yan said with a giggle.
"Oh?" Yang Ji's heart stirred, and he became interested.
As the Heavenly Demon plundered the heavens, they surely obtained numerous treasures, and he was keen to go in and see what was there.
Immediately following Mo Yan, he flew to the main hall, soon arriving at a secluded palace.
The treasury's protection was not very strict—there were only two Demon Monarchs guarding it, and no great array was set up, which was unexpected for Yang Ji.
But then again, he understood—this was the Heavenly Demon Sect. Who would dare to break in and plunder the treasury? It would be a death wish.
And if someone managed to break in here, it would mean that even having the Demon Lord guard it would probably be in vain.
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
The two Demon Monarch guards shouted to Mo Yan.
"Open the treasury, I'm going in to take some things," Mo Yan said.
Without hesitation, one guard held a token and pressed it onto the door, and the door to the treasury immediately opened, with a rush of colorful treasure light spilling out.
Yang Ji followed Mo Yan inside, but at the door, he was coldly stopped by the two Demon Monarchs with an extended hand: "Do you have the hall master's token?"
Yang Ji was taken aback and had to stand sullenly in place.
"Alright, let him in," Mo Yan called out from inside.
Hearing this, Yang Ji was delighted.
The two Demon Monarchs looked at Yang Ji somewhat surprised and, after a moment's hesitation, retracted their hands.
"Come in quickly and help me see what I should take to the tea banquet," Mo Yan said somewhat excitedly.
"Earth Fiend Dragon Herb, Heaven's Ultimate Gu Jade, Silver Star Bead, Flying Star Buddha Root, Flying Immortal Lotus, Reincarnation Fruit, Mysterious Glazed Glass, Shock Dragon Essence, Extreme Cold Spirit Flesh, Wistful Acacia... My goodness! All these treasures?"
Yang Ji was truly astonished. At a glance, the vast treasury was filled with treasures.
It was like Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden and having her eyes opened wide.
"What's with that look? You really haven't seen much of the world. My sister told me that when she became a true disciple, she was fortunate enough to enter the Sect's treasury once. Inside, an entire world was filled with treasures; if you went in, you would probably be so scared you'd become foolish," Mo Yan laughed.
"Does every Foreign Affairs Hall have such a treasury?" Yang Ji swallowed hard and asked her.
"Yes, each Foreign Affairs Hall has one of these treasuries. After all, they're needed for managing those below; naturally, treasures are required," Mo Yan said casually.
"Does every hall have so many treasures inside it?"
"Not as many, but almost the same," Mo Yan replied.
"The Heavenly Demon Sect indeed is wealthy beyond measure. It's no wonder they are the largest sect of the Heavenly Demon Clan; with so many treasures in just one hall's treasury, what about the total treasury? A whole world?" Yang Ji was secretly awestruck.
This is what is meant by deep foundations.
"Hurry up and help me choose what to take," Mo Yan said while searching and asking Yang Ji.
"Go for the expensive ones!" Yang Ji said grandly without giving it much thought, as he walked and looked around, opening his eyes to the wonders.
Endless glimmers of treasure flooded his eyes, and he didn't know how many times he had swallowed his saliva.
"My heavens, those are Divine Transformation Pills, piled up into mountains; there must be over a billion there, just stacked carelessly on the ground?"
"Divine Transformation Pills are useless to us Heavenly Demons; we can only use them to manage our human subordinates, so we can't be bothered to tidy them up," Mo Yan explained.
"Is that a Spirit Vein?" Yang Ji saw Spirit Veins in the sky, compressed by great Divine Skills into shapes like true dragons, and he couldn't help but be amazed. At a glance, there were more than a hundred thousand, with the information of the supreme Spirit Veins alone overwhelming his vision.
"Spirit Veins are also useless to us; we absorb Demon Crystals that contain Demonic Qi, so these are also used to manage our human subordinates," said Mo Yan.
"Is that Purified Yang Water?" Yang Ji saw a bowl-shaped demonic artifact filled with Purified Yang Water. He couldn't tell how much there was, but suddenly he felt what he had obtained was no longer appealing.
"Is that a middle-grade Dao Device?"
"Is that Immortal Spirit Herb?"
"Is that a supreme Enlightenment Pill?"
"Is that Titanium Essence Gold?"
"Is that Dark Gold?"
...
"The Heavenly Demons really are too rich," Yang Ji muttered after looking around, the corners of his mouth revealing a bitter taste.
"Oh, stop looking; you really haven't seen anything like this before. I'm planning to take you to the tea banquet, so don't embarrass me," Mo Yan said with a slight frown, "Hurry up and help me choose what to take."
Yang Ji came back to his senses and immediately picked up a brocade box: "Let's take this one."
"Life Spirit Fruit? Eating one can increase your lifespan by a thousand years, but alas, there are only four, not enough to go around," Mo Yan hesitated.
"Then this one!" Yang Ji switched to another brocade box.
"Five-Color Grapes? Hmm... This one's not bad. It can not only increase lifespan but also fortify the Demon Soul. This bunch has dozens of grapes, enough to share," Mo Yan nodded and took it.
After that, she took Yang Ji and flew out of the Taichu Foreign Affairs Hall, passed through the Teleportation Array, and arrived at a wondrous place surrounded by colorful clouds, with clear lake water and abundant blooming lotuses.
Not far off, amidst the misty pavilions, several people of extraordinary appearance were sitting and talking happily.
Yang Ji looked over and couldn't help but be startled because he saw a familiar face, Bai Bi!
