Chapter 218 - Not Taking It Would Be Foolish

Hao Ren dragged Zhao Yanzi towards the entrance of the Bi Zì Hall. Zhao Yanzi was still in shock and could only follow Hao Ren as he sprinted.
Zeng Yitaos personal magical treasure had been taken by Hao Ren, and out of surprise, hurriedly tried to chase after him.
"Your Highness! It's important to retrieve the treasures!" His attendant shouted again.
Zeng Yitao ran for several steps before gritting his teeth and resisting. He then sent a blue beam of spiritual light through the upper translucent screen, assisting his attendant in retrieving the treasure.
Originally, they had been the first to arrive at the Bi Zì Hall and decided to each take one magical treasure and then combine their efforts for the third one. However, given the current situation, even getting one would be fortunate, let alone a second!
At this moment, Zeng Yitao was filled with hatred. He had already reached the Shock level and possessed his own personal magical treasure but he still couldn't defeat Hao Ren, who was merely a Separation Realm cultivator!
The puzzled Zhao Yanzi watched Hao Ren run out of the Bi Zì Hall, "We're not taking any treasures"
"We need to find medicinal pills, so magical treasures aren't our top priority," Hao Ren patted his necklace and called Xiao Bai out.
Xiao Bai was currently playing with the golden long spear belonging to Zeng Yitao in the dimensional space.
When it jumped out of the dimensional space onto the grass, it tried to act cute. However, Hao Ren lightly tapped its little butt, and it immediately transformed into a giant snow lion version of Xiao Bai.
"We still have time to go to another branch hall!" Hao Ren pulled Zhao Yanzi onto Xiao Bais back, then shot out an extremely weak blade qi from his fingertips towards the area near Xiao Bais butt. This made it emit several whimpers before immediately flying off into the air!
With its four paws ablaze and free to soar in the sky, Xiao Bai was incredibly impressive.
The remaining time wasn't much, but Hao Ren decided to take a chance. Without Xiao Bai's ability to fly, he would have definitely stayed at the Bi Zì Hall to try and obtain one magical treasure. However, with its flying capability, the situation had completely changed.
Xiao Bai exerted itself to fly towards the even more distant branch hall. Zhao Yanzi sat behind Hao Ren this time, gripping onto his qigong robe tightly.
"Hey, that—" After thinking for a moment, her voice became barely audible, "Please don't do such dangerous things in the future."
"Which aspect" Hao Ren asked her.
"Just now," Zhao Yanzi's palm pulled at Hao Ren's Taoist robe, "fists against fists in a fight with others."
"Alright, I understand." Hao Ren answered. After some thought, he suddenly smiled happily; however, Zhao Yanzi sitting behind him could not see his expression.
"Oh, by the way, how did you take away his spear" Zhao Yanzi asked next.
"My mustard seed space is as big as a room. Not only can I store one spear, but even fifty or sixty of them would fit!" Hao Ren said with a smile.
The last time he had put the bell lock given to him by the Lu sisters into his space for testing and later found that they could no longer sense it; this led him to think about using the mustard seed space in such a manner, though he hadn't tried it yet.
As long as something contained spiritual energy within a certain range, one could use their thoughts to control it and store it inside. Given that Zeng Yitao's personal treasure also possessed spiritual energy and was not beyond the limit of mustard seed space, it naturally fit inside. However, if the other party were much stronger than him, he wouldn't dare to take it casually; even this time taking the treasure relied on Zeng Yitao being unprepared. After all, a personal treasure connected to its master's spirit and soul—if Zeng Yitao suddenly took back his treasure, the mustard seed space might not be able to pull it in.
Little White was flying high up in the air; Hao Ren felt he shouldn't treat Little White badly. He took out a replenishing energy pill and placed it inside its mouth.
While flying at a great height, Little White bit on the replenishing energy pill and began to munch away with a loud "crunch." The flames released from its four paws became even more intense, and indeed, its flight speed was faster than before!
Boom! After a short period of flight, Little White slanted downward and landed in front of the second branch temple!
This time, Hao Ren didn't store it away but let Little White follow him and Zhao Yanzhi.
Similar to the Temple of Malevolence, two stone beasts were standing upright at the entrance of this branch temple. These two stone beasts resembled tortoises, crouching atop massive steles!
"The sixth son of the ancient divine dragon is Ba Xia; he possesses infinite strength and can carry mountains," Zhao Yanzhi recognized the name of the stone beast and said.
"Then this must be the Temple of Ba Xia." Hao Ren didn't want to waste time lingering outside, so he dragged Zhao Yanzhi inside. Little White wagged its tail and followed them in.
Yazi was fond of fighting and killing, which is why the Temple of Malevolence housed various offensive treasures; based on the appearance of the stone beasts at the entrance, Hao Ren conjectured that the interior of the Temple of Ba Xia should contain various defensive treasures.
However, this differed from his expectations. Upon entering, he and Zhao Yanzhi found numerous black steles densely standing inside the hall!
The ancient script on these steles was unfamiliar to both Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzhi, but judging by their thick aura and the style of titles on them, they realized that this was
Great supernatural powers from the Primordial Times that had long been lost.
"What should we do We can't move these, so let's remember what is written here," Zhao Yanzhi said with sparkling eyes, urgently suggesting. After such difficulty entering a second branch temple, they couldn’t leave empty-handed.
"Watch carefully. All these cultivation techniques are incomplete. The texts on them appear in fragments, meaning that crucial sentences are hidden within the stone tablets. We need to find a pattern and trigger a mechanism to obtain the complete versions of the cultivation techniques inscribed on the tablets." Hao Ren looked down at her and asked, "Can you do it"
Zhao Yanzi quickly shook her head. She was not good with logical thinking.
"Let's go," Hao Ren grabbed her arm and headed towards the entrance.
Zhao Yanzi looked back at the stone tablets with reluctance, feeling unwilling to leave empty-handed yet again.
"We don't have enough time. We could copy a portion of an incomplete technique for research later," Zhao Yanzi said as they stepped outside.
"Let's give it another try and see if we can find something in the next sub-temple." Hao Ren pulled Zhao Yanzi onto White's back once more.
He knew that there wasn't much time left, and whether or not he could reach the third sub-temple smoothly would be a test of his mental fortitude. If he found three sub-temples in a row but couldn’t get anything from them...
That would be tragic.
Holding White’s mouth, Hao Ren fed it another replenishing pill and urged the creature to fly towards the third sub-temple that he had previously seen.
In mid-air, Hao Ren noticed two more closely situated sub-temples far away. If they had enough time, he would love to visit each one of them.
Crash! White landed hurriedly and knocked a lot of soil off the entrance of the third sub-temple. Sensing Hao Ren’s anxiety during their journey, it couldn’t land steadily either.
The entrance to this sub-temple was also guarded by two stone beasts resembling lions that were seated firmly on round plinths. Around the plinths, there were intricately carved incense burners as decoration.
“Pulaozhen!” The fifth son of the Dragon King!
In the vast wilderness of Qionghuanman and south of Kunlun Mountain, a fierce and brave spirit gave birth to this beastly race! In fact, Pulaozhen was the ancestor of all lion-like spiritual beasts like White.
However, Hao Ren didn’t have time for White to admire its ancestor at the entrance. He pulled Zhao Yanzi into the sub-temple as quickly as he could.
Hao Ren had made up his mind that this time around, whatever was in the Pulaozhen Temple, they would take it!
It only took half a minute to run from outside to inside, but Hao Ren felt like he had been running for an hour! According to his estimation, three hours were almost over. Most of the time had already been wasted on traveling between locations, and Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi could be ejected by the Nine Dragons Palace at any moment.
"Wow!" The view of the great hall finally came into郝仁 and 趙焰紫's sight.
The small compartments on the walls were filled with dazzling bottles!
Those were pills!
Pu Zhen, who was said to enjoy swallowing clouds and exhaling mist, had his Pu Zhen Hall adorned with various divine pills.
However, the bottles containing these divine pills were placed in compartments carved out of the smooth walls of the Great Dragon Palace. Moreover, flight using magic swords or flying charms wasn't possible within this primordial world of the Nine-Dragon Palace!
Therefore, only the lowest few compartments had been cleared by previous generations through ingenious methods; all other compartments remained untouched.
The inability to fly meant that one couldn't control magical artifacts in mid-air either. Thus, when 曾逸韜 attacked 郝仁, he used martial arts techniques rather than controlling his spear with magic power.
"What should we do" Faced with this problem, 趙焰紫 anxiously looked at 郝仁.
The walls were lined with ancient divine pills, yet previous generations of experts couldn't take them away! With such smooth walls, even climbing wasn't possible. The lower compartments probably had been reached by stacking people on each other!
"Idiot!" 郝仁 patted 趙焰紫's head, "We have 小白!"
“Right, we can use 小白! No matter how high the place is, he can get us there!” Realization dawned on 趙焰紫. “Since 小白’s flying is a natural ability of spiritual beasts and not magic, it shouldn’t be restricted here!”
Seeing U Flame Purple excitedly look at its innocent 白, who was clueless about what the neurotic 趙焰紫 wanted,
"小白, fly!" 趙焰紫 sat on 白’s back and patted it while shouting.
To their surprise, 小白 jumped but only produced sparks from its claws; it couldn’t take off.
“Looks like this place has special restrictions. Flying isn't possible here,” 郝仁 frowned.
"Then what should we do Think of something quickly!" U Flame Purple, sitting on 白's back and seeing the divine pills they couldn't reach, was frustrated enough to want to hit 郝仁.
Pu Zhen was said to be a divine beast of Kunlun Mountain, so these divine pills might be the legendary elixirs made by Queen Mother of the West!
"Then you and 小白 will have to work hard!" 郝仁 flicked his finger out to shoot a sword light at 白. "Happy Game, catch coins!
