“Little shield.” Seeing the weird reaction of the golden shield, Hao Ren reached out his right hand and
Hovering in Hao Ren’s palm, the golden shield returned to its position above Hao Ren’s shoulder when it saw the golden pillar in the middle of the Dragon God Shrine.
Taking advantage of the high intensity of nature essence in the Dragon God Shrine, dozens of level 1 inspectors were cultivating in the lounge area of the grand hall. Since the nature essence was very pure here, the cultivation results were several times better than in their respective dragon clans.
After Zhen Congming rebuilt the array formation, the nature essence intensity in Ethereal Summit was on par with the Dragon God Shrine’s, so Hao Ren didn’t need to come to the Dragon God Shrine to cultivate.
Hao Ren entered the gate, and the two level 2 inspectors didn’t dare to stop him since they had recognized that the golden shield hovering beside Hao Ren was a legendary supreme spiritual treasure!
The purple gold hairpin which had been quietly resting in Hao Ren’s storage suddenly let out humming sounds.
Even with his weak realm, Hao Ren could sense its violent reaction which signaled that there were super powerful dharma treasures in the Dragon God Shrine, and these treasures were even more advanced than the golden shield and the purple gold hairpin!
However, Hao Ren looked around and didn’t see any dharma treasures or any objects that were releasing strong spiritual suppression.
“The Lu sisters said that the Dragon God Shrine has the best dharma treasures in the world. These treasures must be well hidden,” Hao Ren thought.
He went into the little room in the center of the grand hall; it was the place for receiving missions and trading points. An old man was sitting in the room, and he cupped his hands slightly when he saw Hao Ren. “Inspector Hao, what can I do for you?”
“I need the things on the list. Here are the names and amounts.” Hao Ren handed the form to him.
When the old man saw Yue Zilong’s signature at the end of the list, he immediately stood up and said, “Please come with me, Ambassador Hao.”
He opened a hidden door in the room and led Hao Ren down to an underground storage room.
Hao Ren had never seen such a huge warehouse!
It was much bigger than any huge superstores! He couldn’t see the end of it!
While the Dragon God Shrine was built on a huge platform hovering in the high sky, this warehouse occupied all the space inside the platform!
The abundance of resources in the Dragon God Shrine, the most prominent organization in the Dragon Tribe, far surpassed Hao Ren’s imagination!
In the aisles crossing each other, some inspectors on level 3 were selecting objects. They looked quite self-assured.
Due to Hao Ren’s low realm, they glanced at him indifferently. However, when they saw the golden shield beside him, they all looked astonished.
A supreme spiritual treasure that could follow its master by itself!
They looked at Hao Ren in a new light and immediately made way for him.
Following Hao Ren, the golden shield lit up the range of ten meters around them like a moving light bulb. In this underground warehouse, it didn’t sense any danger but all kinds of treasures.
It went from one shelf to another, and anything that it touched was a good stuff!
The supreme spiritual treasures could sense nature essence, and they could search for treasures before swallowing them for leveling up.
It was the innate ability of supreme spiritual treasures to sense spirit properties and the things it picked were good stuff!
Hao Ren glanced at the shelf that the golden shield had lingered at and saw an unnoticeable black, mineral rock, a pale blue bead, a broken glove, and a piece of white cloth.
Similar to the modern supermarket, the things on the shelves had been marked with the prices, but these prices were contribution points instead of money.
After completing the missions, the inspectors could earn contribution points. Generally, the higher the contribution points, the better the items.
Some of the items were given to the Dragon God Shrine by various dragon palaces, and the others were items that the inspectors found when they were on missions. For the weird objects, the experienced appraisers of the Dragon God Shrine would determine their price and give a certain amount of contribution points to the inspectors who found them before putting them in the warehouse.
However, even the most experienced appraisers were no match for the golden shield that could recognize treasures automatically. Hao Ren looked at the shelves and realized that some of the objects cost only about 100 to 200 contribution points.
Obviously, these things were seriously under-priced. Since the appraisers of the Dragon God Shrine didn’t know the true value of these things, they just set the contribution points randomly and placed the items on the shelves.
Since Hao Ren hadn’t done any missions for the Dragon God Shrine, his contribution points were zero, so he could only look but couldn’t take anything.
Elder Luo who was responsible for this took down the objects according to Hao Ren’s form and put them into a small basket.
Since Yue Zilong approved these objects, he could hand them to Hao Ren whose contribution points were zero.
However, Hao Ren couldn’t take anything outside of the list.
In less than 20 minutes, Elder Luo who was very familiar with the layout of the warehouse had gotten everything and led Hao Ren back to the first floor.
Hao Ren had to sign his name after each item. If any inspector stole from the warehouse, they would be severely punished by the Dragon God Shrine.
“Thanks a lot, Elder Luo.” Hao Ren put the things into his necklace and was about to leave the Dragon God Shrine. After a moment of consideration, he asked, “Can I have a look at the mission book?”
“No problem.” The old man pushed the huge book toward Hao Ren.
Hao Ren opened the book and read the newly released missions and the missions that hadn’t been completed patiently.
[Bring one bottle of elixir pills to Penglai Island in the Demon Sea.]
Hao Ren suddenly saw the words, Demon Sea in a mission.
It was released one month ago, but no one had taken it while the missions above and below it had all been completed.
“One deputy shrine master owes a bottle of elixir pills to Penglai Island. Now that the elixir pills are made, the deputy shrine master doesn’t need to go there in person. That is why it’s listed here for inspectors to take the mission,” Elder Luo explained.
Demon Sea was indeed dangerous for ordinary inspectors.
However, Hao Ren wasn’t afraid of it.
“Then, I’ll take this mission,” Hao Ren said.
The mission must be finished in one week. As one of the three Remote Immortal Mountains, Penglai Island was where a lot of independent cultivators lived.
If no inspector dared to take this mission, the deputy shrine master must do it himself, which would be a little embarrassing for the Dragon God Shrine.
Due to its difficulty, the completion of the mission would be rewarded with 600 contribution points, much higher than the others.
Hao Ren checked the mission with an ink brush and signed his name. Different from the other missions, if he failed, contribution points would be deducted. It showed the great value of the elixir pills.
Elder Luo took out a small blue porcelain bottle from a small cabinet and placed it in Hao Ren’s hand.
Hao Ren shook it slightly and heard clanking sounds of about three pills. The bottle was sealed with the red stamp of the Dragon God Shrine, and no one could open it.
After putting it into a small wooden box, Hao Ren placed the box into his necklace. Now that he was at Kan-level, he finally could use his necklace again, which was a great convenience for him.
“Wish you a good journey.” Elder Luo looked at Hao Ren and smiled.
“He is an extraordinary cultivator with a supreme spiritual treasure, and he has taken a mission that even the level 4 inspectors are afraid to take.
Hao Ren nodded with a smile and walked out of the Dragon God Shrine with the golden shield. He didn’t want to take missions from the Dragon God Shrine, but he wanted to earn some contribution points since he saw a red jade thumb ring which would be perfect for Xie Yujia.
As to the rest of the contribution points, he could spend it on the stuff that the golden shield had picked since they seemed quite valuable.
After all, one couldn’t find good stuff by just looking at their appearance. For example, when the golden shield absorbed nature essence, it looked like a broken gong, and no one would have noticed it.
Before the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus was unrefined, it looked like a small grey flower. Who would know that it was a supreme five-elemental mystic crystal that had to be nurtured by the eight top-tier spiritual herbs in the world?
Stepping on the golden shield, Hao Ren flew out of the Dragon God Shrine.
The moment that Hao Ren flew out of the Dragon God Shrine, Elder Luo who had been managing the name lists in the small room suddenly heard a muffled voice from a corner. “Did the inspector named Hao Ren take the mission to the Demon Sea?”
“Yes, Master,” Elder Luo sat up and answered respectfully.
“Indeed; only he dared to take this mission. In a few days, Su Han will come here to choose missions, and please show her some of the difficult ones. It seems that she is the most promising candidate to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm.”
“Yes,” Elder Luo cupped his hands at the ceiling.
Swoosh! On his way back to East Ocean City, Hao Ren passed the edge of the Kunlun Mountain again.
The patrolling guards for this ancestral godly mountain of human cultivators were almost all young women.
Hao Ren had encountered them once. With his current low realm, he didn’t dare to trespass.
Besides, his golden shield was too eye-catching, and he would be in trouble if it caught the attention of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators in the Kunlun Mountain.
Despite the disobedience of the golden shield from time to time, it was indeed powerful. Now that Hao Ren had gotten it, he wouldn’t let it go, not even to the cultivators from Taiyi Cave.
With this thought, three lights flew toward Hao Ren as he was flying past the edge of the Kunlun Mountain
The three aggressive lights weren’t dharma treasures but three cultivators who were riding on flight dharma treasures.
“Damn! I hope they are not Soul Formation Realm cultivators,” Hao Ren thought.
After all, he was more than ten kilometers from the Kunlun Mountain.
He controlled the golden shield and flew around them.
However, the three lights chased him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Three different dharma treasures shot toward Hao Ren.
“Hand over the Heaven-Reaching Shield, and we’ll spare your life!” three cultivators’ voices sounded around him like rolling thunder.
