If given enough time, Leo could have broken this level-five sealing formation.
Hearing Leo’s words, the emperor smiled and said, “I have heard that Lord Leo is not only proficient in pills but also in arrays. Truly a genius.”
“This sealing formation is indeed a level-five formation, set up by the founding ancestor of our Martial Dynasty. It can only be opened with the Golden Lion Token passed down from the ancestor and the blood essence of our royal family.”
After speaking, the Martial Dynasty emperor reached into his Storage Sack at his waist and took out a pure golden token.
As soon as the Golden Lion Token was taken out, it seemed to sense something, and mysterious patterns appeared on it.
The emperor looked at the massive stone door and waved his right hand, sending the Golden Lion Token flying towards it.
In the center of the stone door, on the forehead of the golden lion pattern, there was a groove that matched the size of the Golden Lion Token perfectly. The token fit seamlessly into the groove.
Next, the emperor flicked his right hand, and a drop of blood essence flew out, landing on the Golden Lion Token.
As the blood essence merged with the Golden Lion Token, the entire stone door burst into dazzling golden light.
The two eyes of the lion pattern became bright and vivid, as if coming to life.
With a dull sound, the entire stone door slowly opened.
“Lord Leo, please.” The emperor gestured invitingly.
“Your Majesty, please.” Leo nodded and entered the treasury with the emperor.
The interior of the treasury was vast.
The ceiling was made of a translucent jade-like material that allowed sunlight to pour in without obstruction, while preventing outsiders from seeing inside.
After advancing several dozen steps, the scene within the treasury became clear to Leo.
In front of him were circular stone platforms made of white jade.
There were hundreds of these platforms, spaced apart and arranged in a square formation in the center of the treasury, giving off an imposing aura.
Each platform held treasures.
Many treasures shone with various colors under the sunlight, captivating the heart and mind.
“Lord Leo, this is my treasury. The front row is the Spirit Herb section,” the Martial Dynasty emperor said timely.
Leo nodded, filled with anticipation, and walked towards the platforms.
On the first hundred or so platforms were transparent ice jade covers.
Inside these covers were Spirit Herbs of various colors.
Soon, Leo’s gaze focused on one ice jade cover.
Inside it was a branch emitting golden light. The golden branch was translucent, with liquid seemingly flowing inside it.
“This is… Jade Liquid Gold Branch?” Leo instinctively named the golden branch.
“Millennium Cold Grass, Purple Dragon Beard, Tai Chi Grass…” Leo named various Spirit Herbs as his gaze moved.
The Spirit Herbs that caught Leo’s attention were all high-grade treasures, each capable of tempting a Spirit Saint expert.
Aside from these high-grade treasures, other Spirit Herbs were also rare and precious.
Moving forward to the last row of platforms, Leo’s eyes suddenly gleamed.
“This is… Clear Spirit Flower?”
In front of Leo was an ice jade cover containing a flower with black stamens and dark blue petals.
The flower emitted a soft blue glow that seemed to cleanse one’s mind.
Clear Spirit Flower, as its name suggests, had a calming effect and could eliminate inner demons during cultivation.
Clear Spirit Flower was a genuine seventh-grade treasure!
“Moonlight Heartless Grass, Immortal Cloud Mushroom, Nascent Soul Grass…”
Around the Clear Spirit Flower were other extremely rare seventh-grade treasures.
Despite having killed many Spirit Saint experts and seized their Storage Sacks, Leo had never obtained a seventh-grade treasure before.
Yet here, there were over ten seventh-grade treasures before him.
Noticing Leo’s expression, the emperor’s eyes showed a hint of pride.
“Lord Leo, these seventh-grade treasures you see are what my Martial Dynasty has accumulated over nearly two thousand years. Unfortunately, there is no Nine Heavens Ice Spirit Grass to cure Lyra.”
The emperor’s smile faded slightly as he glanced at Princess Lyra beside him.
“Father, I’m fine now,” Princess Lyra said softly, tugging at his sleeve.
The emperor affectionately patted her head and smiled. “Yes, thanks to Lord Leo.”
“Lord Leo, as I promised before, you may choose any three items from this treasury. Please go ahead,” the emperor said to Leo.
Hearing this, Shane, standing beside Princess Lyra, couldn’t help but feel envious.
As an alchemist, nothing could be more enticing than these treasures.
Leo nodded and carefully scanned each seventh-grade treasure on the platforms.
Soon, his gaze fixed on a particular Spirit Herb on the third last platform.
It was a flower with nine petals of different colors on a long green stem.
Nine-colored light flowed around it, gathering spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making it look exceptionally dazzling.
Leo quickly recalled its name-Nine Colored Hidden Spirit Flower!
Overjoyed, Leo hurried to the platform holding the Nine Colored Hidden Spirit Flower.
This flower possessed nine different attributes. Each petal contained abundant spiritual energy and power.
Its greatest feature was that it could be consumed directly to enhance one’s cultivation level.
“With this Nine Colored Hidden Spirit Flower, I can easily reach the peak of mid-stage Spirit Saint and then aim for higher stages!” Leo thought excitedly.
The emperor, observing Leo’s expression closely, said, “It seems you’ve made your choice.”
“Yes, this is it!” Leo pointed at the Nine Colored Hidden Spirit Flower and released his spiritual power.
The ice jade cover on the platform opened, and the Nine Colored Hidden Spirit Flower flew into Leo’s hand.
“Your Majesty, I won’t stand on ceremony,” Leo said as he placed it into his Storage Sack.
“Haha, Lord Leo, there’s no need for formality,” the Martial Dynasty emperor laughed heartily.
After securing the Nine Colored Hidden Spirit Flower, Leo continued forward.
“Lord Leo, next is the artifact section,” said the emperor.
Leo looked ahead. The platforms there had no ice jade covers but displayed various sizes of ores and parts from powerful beasts suitable for crafting weapons-claws, horns, teeth, bones, etc.
Leo’s gaze swept over each ore and beast part on the platforms.
These materials were rare and ideal for forging high-quality spiritual weapons.
