C267 Mystery Box
"This is the first time I've set foot in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. The intelligence here is enough to go back and exchange for high-grade treasures with those old men!"
In the past, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had organized many people to come here, but they had never entered the summit of the Sunset Dragon Mystic Realm.
When the previous cultivators of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets came here, they didn't just come from the East Heaven Gate. The guardians of each gate would change every 100,000 years, and they were all different as well.
The best time was when the Heavencraft Pavilion cultivator was stuck at the ninth floor and failed. Thus, this was the first time the Heavencraft Pavilion cultivator was able to pass the ninth floor.
Thinking of this, Luo Li stealthily glanced at Chen Fan. Since he was able to pass the ninth floor, his mental state had a definite effect.
Otherwise, based on the fact that the person guarding the ninth floor was a Divine Transformation Supreme Elder, even if the Pavilion Master of Heavencraft Pavilion personally arrived, he still might not be able to pass.
Feeling Luo Li's gaze, Chen Fan turned his head and smiled. "Luo Li, if you don't study these buildings, what are you looking at me for? Could it be that I'm more attractive than this dragon ascension platform?"
"Pei, stop being so shameless!" I was just studying my surroundings when I accidentally saw you! "
Extending her tongue, Luo Li quickly turned her head away. However, in her heart, she secretly thought, "Humph, Chen Fan, although I don't know what secrets you have, I'll definitely follow you!"
As she thought of this, Luo Li quickly scanned her surroundings. Right now, they were on a platform that could not be considered as broad.
This platform was only about three thousand feet wide. There were all kinds of buildings on it. Some of the towers were towering into the clouds with spirit beasts carved on them.
There were also some buildings that were only two or three stories high. The roof tiles were all made of white jade, and some of the buildings even had ancient bronze bells. As the bells gently swayed, a faint sound of nature could be heard.
The four pavilions were surrounded by four arched doors. Only Chen Fan and Chen Yun were still there. A faint white fog rose up from the ground, making them seem like saints.
However, even though this pavilion was as beautiful as a paradise, there was still a lack of human life. It was as if no one had lived here for thousands of years, and even the air had a decaying smell.
He looked around, then slowly walked up to a three-storey white jade building. He pushed open the door, and the aura of decay and decay filled the room.
The interior of the pavilion was simple and unadorned. On the ground in the center was a purple gold pill furnace that was over ten feet tall. Around it were eight gossip-like array diagrams.
Surrounding the pill furnace were four prayer mats. Other than that, there was nothing else in the entire pavilion. As Chen Fan entered, the air in the building began to move, and several prayer mats transformed into ash that dissipated into the air.
Luo Li followed Chen Fan and entered the room. She looked around and let out waves of exclamations. At the same time, she used the jade slip in her hand to record everything that happened around her.
"This place seems to be inhabited, but now those people are no longer here! Where exactly was the ancestral dragon's inheritance? It didn't seem like it was in these buildings! The Azure Dragon School is not lying right? "
Luo Li touched the purple-gold pill furnace and discovered that all the spiritual energy had been lost. Presumably, there weren't any pills inside. She immediately turned around to look at Chen Fan and spoke with dissatisfaction.
Chen Fan shook his head. He wasn't sure where the ancestral dragon legacy was, but when he turned to look, he saw a flight of white jade stairs to his right. It led up to the second level of the pagoda.
After taking a few steps, Chen Fan slowly walked up the stairs. The entire white jade staircase creaked as he slowly made his way to the second floor.
The second floor of the pavilion was similar to the first floor; it was very concise. However, the center of this floor was not a purple gold pill furnace, but rather a 100 foot wide jade pool.
The liquid in the pool had dried up long ago. Chen Fan didn't know what it was used for. Seeing that there wasn't much, he turned his head and saw that there was another staircase on his right, leading to the third floor.
After some thought, Chen Fan decided to head up to the third floor first. If there was nothing else, he would leave the building.
At this moment, Luo Li was also flying through the air and caught up. As she walked, she said, "Wait for me. Why are you in such a hurry?"
After recording the layout of the second floor into a jade slip, Luo Li followed Chen Fan up to the third floor. The third floor of the pavilion was obviously the cultivator's bedroom.
There were two large white jade beds inside, and beside the bed was a cabinet made of jade. The cabinet had three levels, and a few jade boxes were placed on top of them.
A few of the jade boxes had been opened. They were empty except for one jade box that was tightly shut. It was unknown what was stored inside.
Seeing the jade box, Luo Li's eyes immediately lit up. She quickly walked towards it and recorded it down with a jade slip. At the same time, she turned her head and said, "Chen Fan, look at the item here. It might be related to the ancestral dragon's inheritance!"
Chen Fan also walked over when he heard this. He carefully examined the jade box and said, "It's best not to act rashly. Although this jade box is tightly shut, it's hard to say if what's inside is not dangerous."
The closed jade box was on the third floor of the cabinet. There were complicated engravings on it. It was only the size of a fist, but there was a faint glow emitting from it. Clearly, there was something inside.
"Hmph, you are just too cowardly!" This jade box has already been here for tens of thousands of years. Even if there was anything inside, the spiritual energy would have all dispersed! "
Luo Li let out a dissatisfied snort and stretched out her jade-like hand to pick up the jade box.
However, the jade box remained untouched even when she used all her strength. This caused her to be shocked. She was at the Aurous Core stage, and the strength of her physical body meant that lifting a mountain was not a problem.
To be able to remain unmoved by her, this jade box must be extraordinary. Thinking of this, Luo Li's cultivation exploded as she grabbed onto the jade box with all her might, but the jade box still remained unmoved, as if it was connected to the entire cabinet.
"I don't believe it!" Luo Li looked at the jade box and the expression on her face changed. She no longer forcefully lifted it.
Instead, she used her lily-white hands to knock around the box as if she was looking for a crack. However, the jade box was covered with patterns, and it was completely in one piece. It didn't look like it could be opened at all.
Seeing Luo Li's defeated state, Chen Fan smiled and looked at the jade boxes on the other floor of the cabinet.
On the other two floors of the cabinet, there were a few jade boxes that had been opened. Chen Fan looked at them for a moment, and then he realized something.
The patterns on the opened jade boxes were different than those on the lock. In the center of each box was a crack. Chen Fan randomly picked one and closed it.
As he moved, the patterns on the entire jade box changed and actually locked the gap. From the outside, it looked extremely natural, without a single gap.
With this discovery, Chen Fan closed the remaining jade boxes one by one. He memorized the changes in the patterns on the boxes and turned his head to look at the most tightly locked jade box.
While Chen Fan was fiddling with the jade box, Luo Li's eyes had already revealed an excited light as she said:
"That's right, why didn't I think of that!?" Chen Fan, you're really smart! Once you record down the changes in the pattern on the lock, you will be able to open this box! "
At this moment, Luo Li was looking at Chen Fan with an excited expression. It was obvious that she was urging him to quickly open the jade box and see what was inside.
