Fire Rose and the others looked at Leo with curiosity, wondering what these three seemingly ordinary bronze lamps could do. After all, anything that WONDER collected here was not ordinary.
The information about the Soul-Calling Lantern automatically appeared in Leo’s mind. When he heard Abel’s question, Leo replied, “These three bronze lamps are of no use to you, so it’s better if you don’t know their purpose.”
As the saying goes, a person dies like a lamp extinguished. The Soul-Calling Lantern can be used to reflect the life and death of cultivators. The specific method is for cultivators to use a drop of their own blood as a guide to establish a connection with the lantern and then ignite it using spiritual power.
Once lit, the Soul-Calling Lantern is placed in a specific location. If it goes out, it means that the cultivator has died. Therefore, this lantern is often used by sects for elite disciples on missions to know whether they are alive or dead.
Since there were three Soul-Calling Lanterns in WONDER’s Hidden Vault, it meant that there were once sects practicing cultivation in this world.
Seeing that Leo didn’t reveal anything about these bronze lamps’ function; Fire Rose and her group showed disinterest on their faces.
Abel didn’t care about the function of the three ancient copper lamps but wondered if Leo wanted them, so he said, “If you like these three ancient copper lamps, you can take them.”
“These three ancient copper lamps have piqued my interest, but they are still useless to me,” Leo replied, placing the ancient copper lamp back in its original position.
“Mr. Wells, I would like to ask, where did WONDER obtain these three ancient copper lamps, and were there any other items that were brought into the Hidden Vault alongside them?” Leo asked Abel.
Abel pondered for a moment and replied uncertainly, “I don’t know where they came from. Since I took over the Hidden Vault, these three ancient copper lamps have been here…”
“By the way, when I inventoried the items in the Hidden Vault three years ago, I vaguely remember there was an iron sphere next to these three ancient copper lamps.”
“An iron sphere?” Leo’s expression changed. “Where is it?”
“If it hasn’t been taken by WONDER personnel as a reward, it should be on this stone platform,” Abel said, pointing behind the ancient copper lamps. “It’s behind those lamps.”
Leo approached and set aside the Soul-Calling Lantern, focusing his gaze on the iron sphere Abel mentioned.
This seemingly ordinary iron sphere, about the size of an adult fist, was completely black and inconspicuous.
Could this be a treasure?
Leo wondered in his mind, extending his right hand, intending to pick up the iron sphere.
But the next moment, Leo’s face changed.
This seemingly ordinary iron sphere, which was only the size of a fist, was unbelievably heavy. Leo couldn’t lift it with his right hand.
Initially shocked by this situation, Leo’s expression turned into delight.
Seeing that Leo couldn’t pick up the iron sphere, Abel chuckled, “This iron sphere is very heavy, not something you can easily lift.”
Leo took a deep breath, activated his Spiritual Power, and reached out his right hand towards the iron sphere again.
With the support of Spiritual Power, Leo’s right hand became immensely powerful. The iron sphere, which had been sitting motionless for decades, finally began to slowly lift off the stone platform.
On the stone platform, a noticeable indentation appeared due to the iron sphere’s long-term weight.
With the iron sphere in his palm, Leo carefully observed it.
Fire Rose couldn’t help but say, “Leo, I didn’t expect you to be so strong. According to the previous Hidden Vault guards, even a crane was used to move this iron sphere.”
Leo’s attention was completely focused on the iron sphere, not even hearing Fire Rose’s words.
After finding no abnormalities in its appearance, Leo activated his Spiritual Power and slowly infused a strand of it into the iron sphere.
As soon as the Spiritual Power entered, the iron sphere trembled slightly in Leo’s hand, and then it visibly collapsed at an astonishing speed.
In the amazed eyes of everyone, the iron sphere collapsed and transformed into a shape resembling a mini mountain peak.
Its surface was no longer smooth but rugged, resembling a super-shrunken version of a mini mountain peak.
A black aura emerged from its interior, slowly lingering around it, exuding an extremely mysterious aura.
Leo’s eyes were filled with excitement at this moment.
He was now a hundred percent certain that this thing was undoubtedly a spiritual weapon!
Immediately, Leo activated his Spiritual Power in his eyes, attempting to see through the interior of this object.
His vision pierced through the thin black aura, and five ancient characters appeared before Leo’s eyes: “Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak!”
Although Leo was ecstatic inside, he showed no expression on his face, withdrew his Spiritual Power, and looked at Abel, saying, “I’m interested in this thing. I’ll take it.”
Abel’s mind stirred. If Leo was interested in something, it must have great potential, perhaps an extraordinary treasure.
“I can give you this thing, but you have to tell us what kind of treasure it actually is,” Abel said.
“It is indeed not an ordinary item, but I don’t know exactly what kind of treasure it is right now,” Leo naturally wouldn’t tell the truth.
Abel thought for a moment and then said, “Alright, you can take it.”
In reality, Abel was feeling pleased because Leo taking something from the Hidden Vault meant that joining WONDER was almost a certainty.
Leo directly stored the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak into his Void Storage Talisman.
In the eyes of Fire Rose and the others, that lump of iron-like thing disappeared from Leo’s hand, leaving them astonished once again.
“Mr. Wells, you can take me to the next location now,” Leo said.
Abel squinted his eyes slightly and said, “Leo, I already told you before we came here that in the Hidden Vault, you can only choose two items at most.”
“Now that you’ve chosen one, I will take you to the inner storage of medicinal herbs. There, you can only choose one type of spiritual herb. If you want more, you will have to complete missions and obtain rewards after joining WONDER. Do you understand?”
“I understand. Let’s go,” Leo nodded with a good mood.
Regardless, this trip to the WONDER Hidden Vault had already been worthwhile since he obtained a spiritual weapon.
Abel led the way once again as the group headed towards the inner storage of medicinal herbs.
The interior of the storage was also furnished with rows of stone platforms. However, unlike the previous concrete ones, these platforms were made of white marble.
Neatly arranged on the marble platforms were numerous medicine boxes, each containing different types of spiritual herbs, sorted and categorized.
The fragrance of the spiritual herbs mixed together, filling the entire storage with a peculiar scent.
Inhaling this scent into their lungs gave a refreshing and invigorating feeling.
