The Nine Cauldrons

Book 8 Chapter 75 Depart to Nine Prefectures!

Seeing Teng Qingshan descend from a high altitude, the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal and Mu Wang were rather confused.

“What is this Teng Qingshan doing?” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal thought as he observed. At the moment, Teng Qingshan was holding the Dark Blaze Rod and flashing around incessantly in the Helian Residence like a ghost. Within only two seconds, Teng Qingshan seemed to have pinpoint a location. He stopped and dived into the ground.

Mu Wang and the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal were shocked.

“Teacher, perhaps Brother Teng found the treasure?” Mu Wang couldn’t believe it. Teng Qingshan was just moving around at random. How was it possible?

“But it seems like he did find it.” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal was uncertain as well and said, “Let’s go take a look.”

Immediately, the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal and Mu Wang rushed towards the location of the treasure.

“Just as I expected.” Teng Qingshan held the Dark Blaze Rod and incessantly drilled into the ground. “The nine lotus seeds are the essence of the Blazing Flame Red Lotus. It could indeed cause changes to the Dark Blaze Rod.”

Sensing the Dark Blaze Rod in his hand becoming hotter and hotter, Teng Qingshan easily confirmed the direction.

Suddenly—

A completely grey and black rocky wall appeared before Teng Qingshan.He hit the wall softly, and the tough rocky wall quivered and turned into dust, flowing away. A hole as tall as an adult was revealed and Teng Qingshan stepped through the big hole into the underground secret room.

The dimmed light of the altar lamp illuminated the entire secret room.

“This is where the Tianfeng Clan stored the treasures that they have kept for over a thousand years?” Teng Qingshan took a deep breath. At the end of the secret room were bricks of gold. The huge amount of gold was such that it could be seen anywhere as though it were sand and stone. Besides the great amount of gold, many kinds of precious items could be seen everywhere on the ground.

Apart from the precious items, there were at first glance what seemed like several hundred full sets of armor and weapons arranged in an orderly fashion.

“These are all high-quality armors.” Standing beside the iron box, Teng Qingshan lifted a jade box. The hot temperature of the Dark Blaze Rod told him that the nine lotus seeds were within this jade box.

Creak!

As the jade box was opened, nine lotus seeds that were as black as jade were orderly arranged inside. With a smile, Teng Qingshan closed the jade box and carried it in his arms. “Tianfeng Martial Immortal, Tianfeng Martial Immortal. You took the Blazing Flame Red Lotus from me in the past. Today, I relied on these nine lotus seeds and found the greatest treasure of your Tianfeng Clan. I wonder if I should thank you or hate you for taking the nine lotus seeds away from me in the past.”

Teng Qingshan too felt the fickleness of fate.

Without the nine lotus seeds, Teng Qingshan and the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal wouldn’t be able to find the treasures that were hidden so deeply.

“Gold and the other items are useless to me.” As Teng Qingshan glanced at the suits of armor, he proceeded to touch one of the suits, sensing the extreme coldness. “These are all Coldsteel Heavy Armors. Each suit of armor weighed several hundred Jin. However, I now have the ‘Fiery Gilt Steel. Therefore, there will be no need of those armors.” Teng Qingshan looked past the great number of weapons, armors, and money, and focused his eyes on the iron box.

“Qingshan, Haha. You are so powerful. I didn’t expect you to find it.” A laugh rang out.

“Older Brother Mu.” Teng Qingshan turned and smiled.

As the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal and Mu Wang entered the secret room together, and their faces revealed their sense of joy and surprise when they saw the horrifyingly great amount of wealth within this huge secret room.

“This is Tianfeng Coldsteel, a precious item that can only be found in the Tianfeng Canyon.” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal touched the the suits of armor and and said in shock, “There are actually almost six hundred heavy armors forged with Tianfeng Coldsteel… If the Fiery Gilt Steel didn’t exist, then cavalrymen equipped with Tianfeng Coldsteel Heavy Armor would definitely be the best troop of cavalrymen.

In terms of toughness, the Tianfeng Coldsteel was slightly inferior to Fiery Gilt Steel. However, Tianfeng Coldsteel was extremely heavy.
