The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 147 Treasure Pavilion

"That's interesting."

Lu Xuan didn't rush to take the ball of light, but instead casually grabbed two other balls of light that looked decent from the side.

One of them is meteorite iron.

This is the top-grade material for forging flying swords.

This is perfect for upgrading the Devouring Heaven Sword.

The other one is a fifth-grade spiritual herb called the Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass.

This thing has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones.

In a critical moment, it can be used to save your life.

While both items were indeed valuable, in Lu Xuan's eyes, they were merely ordinary.

After carefully putting the two items away, he slowly walked to the grayish ball of light.

He reached out and gently probed into the ball of light.

There was no hindrance whatsoever, nor any resistance or backlash.

Something cold and rough fell into his palm.

The ball of light dissipated.

In Lu Xuan's hand, there was a black iron piece about one foot long and two fingers wide.

The iron sheet was covered with red rust, and the edges were jagged.

It looked as if it had broken off from something.

There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a piece of scrap metal that no one would pick up if thrown on the street.

"Ha, you actually chose this?"

From the side came Li Yao's voice, which sounded somewhat gloating.

Although Li Yao didn't dare to take action, that didn't stop him from venting his frustrations verbally.

When he saw that Lu Xuan had actually chosen such a piece of junk in the end, the jealousy in his heart was instantly balanced out a lot.

"Why choose a piece of junk instead of so many other useful tools?"

"Chief Lu's vision is truly exceptional!"

"Could it be that they think... this is some kind of divine artifact that has been covered in dust?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Ye Gucheng also frowned, looking at Lu Xuan with some confusion.

Could there be some hidden secret in this piece of iron?

But after examining it with his divine sense, he discovered that it was just a piece of ordinary iron, with nothing special about it.

Lu Xuan ignored Li Yao's sarcasm and simply rubbed the iron sheet in his hand.

This piece of iron is definitely not simple!

"Whether it's junk or not is none of your concern."

Lu Xuan replied casually, then put the iron piece into his storage bag.

"It's time, let's go."

Just then, the aged voice of the guardian elder rang in the ears of all three of them.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle force enveloped them, instantly teleporting the three of them out of the treasure pavilion.

……

Outside the treasure pavilion.

Elder Shouge remained lying on the recliner, seemingly unmoved.

Seeing the three of them come out, he slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at the treasures they had acquired.

When he saw the Azure Wood Spirit Shield in Li Yao's hand and the Frostbite Sword in Ye Gucheng's hand, he nodded slightly.

But when his gaze fell on Lu Xuan and he sensed the aura of the piece of iron, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Little guy, that last thing you took..."

The elder guarding the pavilion suddenly spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"It's a fragment that I picked up outside an ancient site many years ago."

"It has been in the pavilion for hundreds of years. Many disciples have seen it, and even the sect leader has personally appraised it."

"It's just a piece of ordinary iron that has been completely eroded by time. Its inner spirit has been completely lost, and it has no value whatsoever."

"If you regret it now, I can make the decision to let you go in and change into something else."

Upon hearing Elder Shouge's words, Li Yao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Did you hear that?"

"Even the elder guarding the pavilion said... it's scrap metal!"

"Chief Lu, it seems you really misjudged him this time!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If it were me, I'd definitely rush back and get a new artifact!"

Upon hearing these words, Ye Gucheng looked at Lu Xuan with a strange expression.

He had initially thought that Lu Xuan had some unique methods of appraising treasures.

I never expected to actually get a piece of trash.

However, Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged in the face of Elder Shouge's good intentions and Li Yao's mockery.

He bowed slightly to the elder guarding the pavilion.

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder."

"However, when I choose things, I always rely solely on fate."

"Since I chose it, it means it's meant for me."

"and……"

Lu Xuan turned his head and gave Li Yao, who was still gloating, a cold look.

"Some things are considered worthless by ordinary people."

"But in the eyes of those who truly understand, it is priceless."

"Like some people, they clearly possess powerful magical artifacts, yet they remain useless."

"you!"

Li Yao was so shocked by those words that her face turned red. She was about to retort, but when she met Lu Xuan's cold gaze, she shrank back in fear and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

The elder guarding the pavilion gave Lu Xuan a deep look.

After a long while, he closed his eyes again and waved his hand.

"Since you insist on this, then so be it."

"Go, go."

The three bowed again, then turned and strode away.

Pang Dahai had been waiting nearby, and when he saw Lu Xuan come out, he quickly went to greet him.

"Senior brother! How did it go? What amazing treasure did you get?"

Lu Xuan smiled and patted the storage bag at his waist.

"They're all good stuff."

"Let's go back to Lieyang Peak."

Watching Lu Xuan's departing figure, Ye Gucheng gripped the Frostbite Sword in his hand, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"Is it really just a piece of scrap metal?"

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Li Yao watched Lu Xuan's departing figure and spat fiercely.

"Stop pretending!"

"Trying to treat something as precious as trash, let's see how you cry later!"

……

Back to Lieyang Peak.

Lu Xuan immediately activated the room's restrictions.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath, and took out the rusty black iron piece from his storage bag.

As soon as the piece of iron appeared, the Primordial Pearl inside his body began to spin violently.

"Just as I thought!"

"For the Primordial Pearl to produce such a strong reaction, this thing... can't possibly be just ordinary iron!"

Without further hesitation, Lu Xuan mobilized the chaotic power within his body and slowly injected it into the piece of iron through his fingers.

"Buzz!"

As the power of chaos was injected, the originally lifeless iron sheet suddenly emitted a slight tremor.

The rust on top started to peel off little by little.

The previously inconspicuous black iron sheet finally revealed its true appearance.

It was a material that was neither gold nor jade, and its entire body was a deep, dark black.

On the surface of the iron sheet, there are also extremely complex and strange dark gold patterns.
