Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 5343 Treasure Chest
Chapter 5343 Treasure Chest
The massive chest before them was the treasury of the Soaring Dragon Company. While it had once been fortified with countless formations, those runes had long lost their effectiveness. Now, it looked like nothing more than a giant iron chest.
However, its sheer weight was astonishing, and if the plaza beneath it wasn’t tough enough, it would have collapsed.
Tang Wan-er and the others were all baffled to see Long Chen take out a giant square chest. They were unable to tell what was so special about it.
“What is it?” asked Tang Wan-er curiously.
With a knowing smile, Long Chen slammed his hand against the chest, causing a crack to appear. The next moment, a giant gate materialized, and the runes finally became visible.
Everyone was startled when they saw Long Chen use brute force to break the lock.
“The treasure chest is now open! Beautiful fairies, go explore this unknown world. From now on, everything inside is yours,” said Long Chen, gesturing dramatically toward the gate with a playful air of mystery.
Seeing Long Chen intentionally act mysterious, Tang Wan-er was suspicious. She knew that any gift he prepared for her could not be ordinary. When they walked in, everyone, including Tang Wan-er, cried out in shock. They finally discovered that it was a treasury.
This treasury was filled with many divine weapons, medicinal pills, secret tomes, housepet eggs, and other incredible stuff, dazzling them. Let alone the female warriors, even Tang Wan-er had never seen such wealth before.
“There are so many Human Emperor divine weapons!” someone exclaimed, staring at racks of weapons hanging from the walls.
“I’ve never seen this many medicinal pills in my life!” another voice echoed, their eyes wide at the sight of shelves stacked with baskets, each filled with high-grade pills.
This was their first time seeing medicinal pills stored in baskets. Normally, such precious items were stored individually in protective cases to avoid any damage. But here, the medicinal pills were piled together like garbage. Their jaws dropped in disbelief.
“Look at this! Wind spirit stones! And so many!” someone cried, drawing everyone’s attention to a pile of shimmering stones.
“Heavens!”
All of them were stunned to see a mountain of wind spirit stones piled up here. Every single one of them exuded pure wind energy fluctuations, their dazzling light reflecting in their eyes. For them, these wind spirit stones were even more valuable than medicinal pills. These wind spirit stones contained the primeval wind energy of the world—a must-have for wind element cultivators.
Seeing this mountain of wind spirit stones, they felt like they were dreaming. They stealthily pinched their cheeks just to confirm that they weren’t asleep.
“Long Chen, where did you get so many treasures?” asked Tang Wan-er. She covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Wind spirit stones were what they needed the most. The world was full of spirit stones, but elemental spirit stones were extremely rare. Among them, wind spirit stones were some of the most coveted. Even in the Wind God Sea Pavilion, they were distributed sparingly, and most Hidden Dragon warriors received only a few each month.
That small amount was far from sufficient for their needs. As a result, they often had to rely on spirit-gathering formations to cultivate, which significantly slowed their progress. Most critically, without the support of wind spirit stones, their ability to comprehend wind energy was greatly diminished. This intense need was why they stood frozen in awe before the mountain of wind spirit stones.
In response to Tang Wan-er’s wide-eyed question, Long Chen replied with a solemn smile, “I recently wrapped up some business. It was tiring, but the profits were impressive. I hope that Fairy Wan-er will not turn away this humble gift of mine.”
Recognizing Long Chen’s playful tone, Tang Wan-er shot him a skeptical glare. “What kind of business results in obtaining an entire treasury? I don’t believe a word of it.”
With a chuckle, Long Chen replied, “A business with no upfront costs.”
Realization dawned on Tang Wan-er. “You... you robbed someone’s treasury?!”
“Isn’t that a bit harsh? I’m an emissary of righteousness, and I redistribute wealth from those who gained it unjustly. It’s called chivalry. Some people hoard their riches through fraud and exploitation, treating people’s lives as nothing more than blades of grass. I am simply the hand of justice confiscating their ill-gotten gains,” said Long Chen righteously.
Tang Wan-er laughed, knowing that Long Chen only acted this way against truly vile individuals. He had done similar things back on the Martial Heaven Continent. Without asking for details, she smiled, knowing that anything he gave her was now rightfully hers.
“Sisters, this treasury belongs to us now! Take whatever you need, and don’t forget to thank big brother Long Chen!” Tang Wan-er called out.
“Thank you, big brother Long Chen!” the group shouted in unison, eagerly dividing the wind spirit stones.
Each person took just a hundred stones, enough for two months of cultivation. After everyone had gotten their share, the mountain of wind spirit stones didn’t seem to have dropped in the slightest. This pile would last them several years.
As they turned to divide the medicinal pills, Long Chen suddenly shouted, “Take whatever treasures you want, but leave the medicinal pills there!”
Shocked, they jumped and hastily put down those pills, staring at Long Chen in confusion.
Startled by Long Chen’s strictness, Tang Wan-er asked, “Why?”
“These pills are absolute garbage. If you let the Hidden Dragon Legion consume them with me here, I’d lose face,” Long Chen said sternly.
“Scoundrel!” Tang Wan-er pinched him, realizing he was joking.
The group laughed, but Long Chen was serious about them avoiding the pills. They were of poor quality, and with something better available, why settle for less?
With a grin, Tang Wan-er said, “It’s so convenient having you around. I don’t have to worry about anything. Just wait—I’m going to expand the Hidden Dragon Legion!”
Excited, she rushed off, leaving Long Chen behind, watching the female warriors pick through the treasury with joy. He smiled warmly.
“Brothers, you’re going to owe me big time in the future.”
