Eternal Thief - Chapter 1207: Sect Treasury Hall (1)

After an hour, Ace left the sect library. He had already memorized all three spells in the jade scrolls and could now comprehend them independently.

However, these spells had the same issue as the skills in Mortal Sky Heaven: they couldn’t be used with Heavenly Spirit Qi.

But Ace had already discovered a loophole.

He could use them with his Holy Twilight Spirit Qi, especially since the ascension spells could be learned by both martial and soul cultivators. These spells were all driven by laws, and very few had restrictions on the cultivation paths, making those particular spells extremely precious.

Moreover, the main cultivation heritage of the AIG Sect was of the Soul Path, which aligned with his Holy Twilight Spirit Qi, also of the Soul Path.

Despite having this advantage, Ace planned to use one of the precious epiphany pills to create spells based on his Heavenly Spirit Qi, using these spells as a foundation.

The Molten Alloy Creation spell was particularly important for his future plans.

As for the Beast Law Channel spell, it was a simpler matter.

This spell introduced a particular type of law called the ‘Beast Law’ into his inner world, allowing any contracted beast to enter it as long as his inner world was strong enough.

Lastly, the Devouring Inferno Sword was a forbidden sword path spell.

He learned it mainly to use as a reference to strengthen his own sword path and make progress with the Heaven Sundering Sword’s second realm.

Furthermore, Ace hadn’t forgotten about Avos’s problem with not being able to enter his inner space because it wasn’t a Heavenly Treasure, and it couldn’t handle his Heavenly Qi.

When he decided to embark on the path of a forger, he also wanted to solve this problem. After all, Avos had a life bond with him and was destined to be his next Life Sword once he made progress with the Sword Heart.

Now that he had finished with the sect library and had seen it, he headed toward the Sect Treasury Hall, the sect’s most guarded place after the Sect Library.

After all, without sect resources, no matter what kind of inheritance they had, it would be useless if they didn’t have resources to nurture the future generation.

Ace was a little excited since this was a second-grade sect’s wealth, and he wanted to see how much they had and what kind of treasures they had accumulated over thousands of years.

Although he knew they might not show him their most precious treasures, it was still enough to broaden his horizons.

The Sect Treasury Hall was enormous, its exterior a blend of opulence and security, with gold and platinum accents contrasting with the imposing, fortress-like structure. Even Ace felt a sense of danger just by looking at it, and unlike the library, it wasn’t barren; he saw many disciples from the forger and flame factions going in and out.

Without hesitation, Ace entered through the open doors and found himself in a massive interior that was nothing short of luxurious, with all kinds of murals, rising pillars, and antique decorations.

There were only three open counters in this place, and Ace was surprised to see three sect elders personally overseeing them.

Ace’s eyes were drawn to the golden tiles above the counters, which read: ‘Treasure Exchange,’ ‘Material Exchange,’ and ‘Spirit Coin Exchange.’

Ace instantly understood what these counters were for.

Without hesitation, he headed toward the Treasure Exchange Counter first, which was currently unoccupied, unlike the Material Exchange and Spirit Coin Exchange counters, which were busy with disciples.

“Greetings, Elder!” Ace quickly greeted the charming, mature woman behind the counter, who wore a stern expression.

The female elder glanced at Ace, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

“Are you the new chief forger disciple, George?”

The moment she uttered the name ‘George,’ despite not speaking loudly, everyone heard it since they were powerful cultivators.

Almost everyone stopped talking and looked in their direction with various gazes.

Ace was startled and suddenly had a bad feeling as he inquired, “Elder, you know me?”

Since his identity was confirmed, the female elder’s stern expression softened as she replied kindly, “Of course.

There aren’t many chief disciples in the Chief Hall Court, and we know everyone. And since you’re the only one who joined recently with an unfamiliar face, it was only natural for us to identify you.

”

She chuckled softly.

“You’re quite famous and almost a household name in the Chief Hall Court.

So don’t underestimate your own popularity. Since you’re here, I reckon you want to buy treasures?”

Ace could only secretly lament upon hearing this.

It seemed he wouldn’t be able to maintain a low profile, so he had no choice but to accept reality. Furthermore, this elder didn’t seem to have any bad intentions, only curiosity.

Even if she did have ill intentions, she wouldn’t try anything funny in this place.

“Disciple is indeed here to buy a treasure for forging,” he replied politely.

She nodded, and a golden jade scroll appeared in her hand the next moment. She handed it to George and said, “All the treasures you can exchange with Spirit Coins are listed in this jade scroll.

If you want to sell something, there are also details about that as well. You can buy most treasures with only Spirit Coins, while the most precious treasures require not only Spirit Coins but also sect merit points.

Take your time going through them!”

Ace respectfully received the jade scroll and quickly probed it with his thief sense, a hint of excitement in his eyes. He was already aware of the exchange system in the Sect Treasury Hall, so he wasn’t surprised by it.

When Ace saw the list of treasures inside the jade scroll, he was astounded and couldn’t help but inhale sharply. There were not only all sorts of weapons, accessories, armor, talismans, formations, and arrays, but there was something that made Ace’s heart race; he saw Fire Spirits in the list and not just one but almost fifty of them!

Ace was instantly tempted to plan a heist!
