Chapter 578 This Is Definitely Not Normal
Mengyu left the Ninth Layer Palace and discovered a vast garden covering more than thirty acres. Within it were pavilions, towers, and a variety of peculiar and exotic plants.
Moreover, a tremendous portion of these flowers and plants were Spirit Grass!
Mengyu really wanted to dig up those Spirit Grasses, but she found that whenever she thought about digging up any of them, a feeling of destroying their integrity emerged.
Plucking any plant would make her feel depressed just by the thought of it.
She knew this was due to those strange emotions interfering again.
She dared not forcefully take them and could only give up on plucking the Spirit Grass.
After making a round, Mengyu found that besides collecting more than a dozen boxes of textiles, she couldn’t take anything else from the Imperial Palace; otherwise, she would disrupt the overall aesthetic, feeling like she was wasting heaven’s gifts.
Thus, even though she picked up items, she always ended up irresistibly placing them back in their original spots.
But in this way, wouldn’t she return empty-handed from a treasure-filled mountain?
Mengyu sighed: after all, obtaining those textiles, especially the merfolk silk, meant she hadn’t returned empty-handed.
As soon as this thought emerged, Mengyu suddenly realized something: though she wasn’t a particularly greedy person, she wasn’t so saintly, either.
Looking at all the treasures in the palace, and feeling reluctant to take them—wasn’t this absolutely abnormal for her to spontaneously feel such emotions?
Upon closer reflection, however, she sensed no danger; on the contrary, the palace even gave her the feeling of being home.
But still, she felt this was not normal and decided it would be better to figure out how to leave.
Good as this Imperial Palace was, it wasn’t her home. Although it constantly gave her a homely feeling.
However, the way she had come in disappeared as soon as she entered, and she didn’t know how to exit the Main Hall.
Looking around, it seemed the entire palace was a sealed-off space, somewhat resembling a compound with nine courtyards plus a mega-sized walled garden.
Only that the courtyard was a bit larger, the houses a bit taller, and the furnishings a bit more luxurious.
Nevertheless, after wandering for half a day, she could only roam within these layered courtyards and was unable to find a way out.
She wanted to fly up into the air to get a better look, only to discover that this area was a forbidden aerial space.
How was she to leave?
Wandering back and forth, she once again found herself in the Main Hall.
She had a feeling that her route of exit was within this main hall.
On the fifteenth pass around the treasure throne, her gaze suddenly fixated on a golden box placed in front of the throne.
Due to the abundance of treasures here, she hadn’t noticed this golden box before.
Now that she thought about it, this golden box was peculiar.
Everything else in the hall was gold inlaid with jade, only this box was pure gold.
Crucially, it was carved with roses—the favorite flower of Jiang Mengyu.
She couldn’t help but open the golden box, which contained a crystal-clear, pure white treasured seal.
What moved Mengyu was the extremely strong Spiritual Power fluctuations emitting from the treasured seal: it was clearly a Magic Treasure!
Magic Treasures were even more precious than Spiritual Artifacts, coveted treasures of the Xiu family.
Mengyu forthrightly performed a blood oath to claim ownership.
However, she quickly discovered that a blood oath could not establish ownership—could this treasure require refining with spiritual power as Xiao Tao had once mentioned?
Mengyu’s Divine Sense had just extended when the treasure seemed to welcome her presence, obediently allowing her to refine the First Level.
After refining the First Level of the treasure, Mengyu learned of its origin, but immediately after, she felt both shock and a touch of fear.
