Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System - Chapter 256: Sect’s Treasury

Seeing them still watching the act, Yongnian had to be the mature one and cover all the participants in Death Qi.

When they all were covered by Death Qi, Han Cai and Blacky finally snapped out of their stupor.

Han Cai coughed, and muttered, “That was disgusting. I should visit more of these boats to have a better understanding of the culture of this world.”

He took pride in being a man of culture in his last life, and he was surprised that he hadn’t tried to understand the culture of this world earlier.

Soon, the Death Qi covering the three people in the room disappeared, and when it did, Jiang Xun had disappeared along with it. The only ones remaining were the two beauties, sleeping quietly.

Yongnian transformed into Jiang Xun himself and nestled between the beauties to sleep. Han Cai felt a pang of regret form in his heart – why hadn’t he focused on awakening the transformation ability first? He and Blacky sat down quietly.

In the morning, Young Master Jiang Xun left the pleasure boat with his friends, while the two invisible musketeers followed the young master back to his clan. Young Master Jiang Xun stayed in the clan for a few more weeks, indulging in many delicacies and beauties during his stay. Han Cai cursed Yongnian daily for having such a grand opportunity.

When the time was up, the Young Master bid farewell to his clan and left Jiang City on his personal treasure ship. Accompanying him were two protectors whom Core Elder Hua had personally assigned.

After a month of travelling, they returned to the sect. Core Disciple Jiang flew directly to the Inner core area of the sect. Upon arrival, he visited his master, Core Elder Hua, first to inform him about his return.

Core Elder Hua told him that Treasury Elder Bai would take him to the Sect Treasury so he could get his own heaven-grade weapon. Hearing this, Han Cai was surprised – the Azure Dragon Sect was truly generous to their Core disciples, gifting them heaven-grade weapons.

Jiang Xun spent a month in his abode cultivating. After a month, Treasury Elder Bai visited him and took him to the sect Treasury. An invisible Han Cai and Blacky quietly followed them. Han Cai had a lot of faith in his invisibility ability, but he didn’t dare be careless, as he didn’t know the details of the Inner core arrays of the sect.

They traversed various mountains and arrived in front of the entrance of a massive, majestic mountain. Elder Bai walked inside the entrance, followed by Jiang Xun, with Han Cai and Blacky following invisibly. Upon entering, they realized they were standing in a grotto heaven.

Han Cai was surprised – a grotto heaven was actually the sect’s treasury, while the mountain was just an illusion. Elder Bai said, “You have one week to gain the acceptance of the spirit of a heaven-grade treasure. If you are not able to get them to accept you, then you will have to make do with an earth-grade treasure.”

Jiang Xun gave Elder Bai a questioning look. Where were the weapons?

Elder Bai smiled, and the scenery of the grotto heaven changed. Previously, there were rivers and mountains, but now, there was only a plain land as far as the eye could see. At the center of the land was a black mountain, and stuck in the ground all over the plain were a large number of weapons.

Elder Bai warned, “Don’t try to enter the black mountain. Or you will be kicked out of the Treasury.” After saying this, he disappeared.

After Treasury Elder Bai disappeared, Jiang Xun began looking around for weapons.

While Han Cai and Blacky flew toward the black mountain at the center, they suspected that since this was a forbidden zone, the thing they were looking for must be inside the black mountain.

After flying for a few hours, they realized they were caught up in array. No matter how much they flew, they were always at the same distance from the mountain. Han Cai recognized this as the “Circular Void Array”, an array that manipulated space to create the illusion of endless distance.

He decided to study the “Circular Void Array”. He first examined the surrounding environment, looking for any subtle signs of distortion. This type of array created a loop in the space-time fabric, which could be revealed by a mild warping effect that was often hard to detect with a casual glance. But because of his spatial affinity it was not difficult for him to find spatial footprints.

After some observation, he noticed slight disturbances in the spatial flow in certain areas. This was the footprint of the array’s operation, the clue to its working mechanism. He decided to follow the traces, hoping it would lead him to the core of the array. This was a time-consuming process, and he had to move with great care to avoid triggering any possible traps within the array.

Next, he studied the energy patterns that powered the array. It was a weave of energy flows, a puzzle that required patience and deep understanding of array mechanisms to unravel. He spent hours meticulously analyzing these patterns, slowly forming an understanding of their layout and operation.

After this, he began to work on countering the array. He decided to use a method known as ‘Inverse Energy Infusion’. This involved infusing his own energy in a pattern that was the exact inverse of the array’s energy flow. This way, he aimed to disrupt the array’s operation and create a pathway through it. He planned to use enough energy so that he and blacky could walk out without destroying the array.

Executing the method with caution, he started infusing his energy. The energy flowed in the opposite direction of the array’s power flow, creating a counteracting effect. He felt resistance, as the array fought back to maintain its operation, but he continued with his infusion. He started to run out of Qi but they had good number of high grade spirit stones.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he felt a sudden shift. The energy resistance from the array had dwindled, indicating that the array was starting to given. With a final push, he fully activated his counteracting energy, and the array finally gave in.

Gifts are always appreciated, but golden tickets and power stones matter a lot too.

If we reach 2000 power stones, I will release two supplementary chapters.

If we reach 1000 golden tickets, I will release five supplementary chapters.
