Chapter 168 Unexpected Visitor
Although Ji Daoyi was somewhat dizzy from the overwhelming amount of information, he was not afraid. Instead, he was as excited as a phoenix rising from the ashes!
This is because the information contained in these jade mirrors is an incredibly powerful Yuan Technique!
"We're rich! We're rich! This is truly a windfall! Just this one jade mirror alone makes the trip worthwhile, not to mention all these other jade mirrors!"
The jade mirrors on the entire fifth floor shone like stars, numbering in the hundreds. How could Ji Daoyi not be extremely excited!
Even if his father, Ji Hai, were here, he would probably be so excited that he would dance with joy, let alone the eleven-year-old boy!
As Ji Daoyi happily put away the jade mirror, he hummed a cheerful tune. He looked even happier and more excited than if he had eaten honey!
He could easily store these jade mirrors in his storage ring simply by gently enveloping them with his mental energy.
But he insisted on taking them one piece at a time, slowly.
That's right!
I'm just happy!
Just for fun!
Since he was the only one in the library, he could take whatever he wanted without anyone interfering or trying to steal it!
What should have been a few breaths of data collection took Ji Daoyi nearly half an hour to complete.
After collecting the jade mirror, Ji Daoyi clapped his hands in satisfaction!
His previous gloom vanished completely, and the smile that bloomed on his face was so bright that even AK could not hide it!
After doing all this, Ji Daoyi went straight to the sixth floor. Although there were also jade mirrors on the sixth floor, they were few in number, only a few dozen!
The seventh floor had even fewer items, with only a jade mirror standing alone in the very center!
Unlike the jade mirrors on other floors, this jade mirror was shrouded in a mysterious energy shield, which Ji Dao could not penetrate even with the Supreme Token in his hand.
"Could this be the sect's most treasured artifact? Otherwise, why would it be so heavily guarded? But how can I possibly get through this barrier and bring it out?"
Just as Ji Daoyi was racking his brains, footsteps suddenly came from outside the ruins, and a mysterious figure slowly walked over!
This man was burly, like an iron tower, with broad shoulders and a thick waist; he was practically an upgraded version of Ji Xiaohu!
He wore a plain-colored Taoist robe, resembling a Taoist priest who had just descended from the mountain, exuding an ethereal aura. The compass in his hand shimmered with a mysterious light, and a storage bag embroidered with a large red flower adorned his waist—exquisitely beautiful. His worn-out straw sandals suggested he walked with great difficulty. Yet, despite this, his steps were as steady as a mountain, completely unaffected by the straw sandals!
His outfit, though seemingly unconventional, perfectly complements his temperament, without any sense of incongruity!
"This is it! The most powerful branch of the Lotus Sect was pierced through by a mysterious expert overnight, and its original site was banished to the void like a discarded shoe! In recent years, my grandfather has calculated that this site will emerge in this southwestern region, and he said that I will have a great opportunity here!"
"I just don't know what this opportunity is. Could it be that the Lotus Sect has some unparalleled treasure? Otherwise, why would my grandfather send me all this way here!"
The moment the fat Taoist priest thought of the treasure, his eyes, which were already the size of beans, became even more barely perceptible under his lewd smile!
Despite his unassuming appearance, the fat Taoist priest exuded a powerful aura of cultivation, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm and just one step away from the Divine Realm!
"Since it is a treasure, it should naturally be kept hidden in a treasury! However, I have heard that the Lotus Sect has a scripture stored in the scripture pavilion. I wonder if this is true or not!"
The fat Taoist priest arrived at the ruins as swiftly as the wind. The first thing that caught his eye was the bottomless, enormous abyss black hole that looked like the mouth of a giant beast!
"Holy crap! This is the power of that mysterious expert's single finger! It's truly terrifying. Even after so many years, I can still feel that terrifying destructive power. I wonder when I will be able to possess such power! When that time comes, won't the holy goddesses of those holy lands line up like stars surrounding the moon for me to choose from?!"
The fat Taoist priest couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, and his saliva flowed like a burst dam onto his clothes!
The slurping sound of saliva seemed to echo the longing in his heart!
He hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and continued walking forward!
However, when he arrived at the library, he saw traces left by Ji Daoyi clearing away the ruins.
"Damn it! Which damned thief dared to run in front of me and steal my things!" The fat Taoist priest cursed and ran forward to investigate.
"Judging from the marks, it must have been cleaned up not long ago! I guess the thief is still inside and hasn't come out yet, thank goodness!"
As the fat man spoke, he took out an array plate, which emitted a light that enveloped the fat Taoist's body. Then, he swaggered through the energy shield that Ji Daoyi could not break!
As soon as the fat Taoist priest entered the first floor of the hall, he felt the dust filling the air, clearly indicating that it had not yet calmed down!
"Pah... This is choking me! They didn't even set up a dust-removing formation, no wonder they got wiped out!" The fat Taoist priest cursed again!
If anyone from the Lotus Sect were alive, they would definitely point at him and curse him back!
Then the fat Taoist priest quickly passed through the second, third and so on until the seventh floor, when he saw Ji Daoyi reach out and put the jade mirror from the seventh floor into his pouch!
"Hey, you little thief! Stop! Hand over my things right now!"
“??????????”
When Ji Dao heard someone coming upstairs, he used his spiritual power to sense the fat Taoist. However, since this place was unclaimed, he couldn't possibly go downstairs and suddenly attack someone!
What he didn't expect was that the fat Taoist priest in front of him was even more shameless than him!
"Are you talking to me?" Ji Daoyi turned around, pointed his right index finger at himself, and asked in return.
The fat Taoist priest said matter-of-factly, "Nonsense! It's just the two of us here. If he wasn't talking to you, would he be a ghost?"
Ji Daoyi was amused by the fat Taoist priest and said jokingly, "When did I take your things? What did you lose? Tell me!"
Everything here is mine!
"Oh? What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too! Besides, this place was originally just ruins, who knows how many years ago. What makes you think these things are yours!"
The fat Taoist priest said arrogantly, "Hmph, what I've set my sights on is mine! No one can take it away! And it's not something you can have!"
The fat Taoist priest had just used the magic array to probe Ji Daoyi's cultivation level and found that he was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, far inferior to himself!
That's why I spoke so righteously!
Faced with absolute power, why bother with pretense and deception? Wouldn't it be faster to just rob them outright?
