Chapter 430: Chapter 168: No, Are You Practicing the Hundred Tea Paths? (6k)_2
[Stone Platform for Storing Treasures: This is a peculiar stone platform that stores several treasures, surrounded by an extremely formidable Five-Color Restriction, which can only be unraveled by a fifth-level Array Master.]
[But what no one knows is that inside the stone platform, there is another image Array. As long as three sticks of incense are inserted into the ground and a respectful bow is made, the Array will dissolve.]
[After all, the owner of the stone platform had already come to peace before his death, desiring only a heartfelt tribute from future generations.]
Seeing the information received, Zhou Qing was initially stunned but quickly turned ecstatic.
Unexpectedly, this identification was so fortunate, directly revealing the method to unlock the stone platform’s restriction.
But soon, he felt like crying without tears.
If this woman weren’t here, once he unlocks the stone platform restriction using this method, all the items inside would belong to him.
But now, she insisted on using brute force to destroy the stone platform, giving him no time at all.
Forget it, without her, even with the fuzzy perception from the Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture, I probably wouldn’t have entered this stone cave.
Seeing that we have encountered three times, give me a drop of Great Roc Essence Blood, and then safely send me and Lu Yaoyao back, I won’t ask for anything else.
"Let’s go!" The silver-haired woman picked up the Ice Element Hairpin again, speaking coldly.
However, Zhou Qing suddenly said, "Wait a minute, do any of you smell something?"
The silver-haired woman looked confused, while Lu Yaoyao’s eyes lit up seeing Zhou Qing’s serious expression, quickly said, "Sister, my Senior Brother Zhou has a very keen nose, even those dog-type Demon Beasts can’t compare. Don’t rush."
Pretending to smell something, Zhou Qing felt helpless towards Lu Yaoyao.
If you can’t complement someone, just speak less. No one will think you’re mute.
Soon, Zhou Qing seemed to realize something, with a sudden look of understanding: "It’s the scent of burning incense, I knew this smell was familiar."
The silver-haired woman lightly moved her veiled nose but didn’t smell anything.
Zhou Qing then took out three sticks of incense from his Storage Bag, smelled them near his nose, and became more certain of the scent.
"That’s right, it’s this scent. Could the stone platform be like those altar tables in ancestral halls that require a tribute?"
Zhou Qing muttered to himself, before the silver-haired woman could stop him, he immediately lit the three sticks of incense in his hand, then solemnly said, "Senior, since we accidentally intruded into this place, it means we are destined persons, and as such, we shouldn’t leave empty-handed."
"Junior Zhou Qing of the Taiqing Sect, willing to sacrifice the lifespans of everyone in the Cangyan Daoist Palace and Phecda Sect, hoping you will unlock the barrier and let us inherit the legacy, carrying it forward into daylight."
After saying this, he inserted the incense and respectfully bowed.
Such an absurd scene caused Lu Yaoyao’s face to twitch, looking awkwardly at the "third mother" beside her.
The silver-haired woman also slightly shook her head at this moment, truly not speaking any logic.
But in the next moment, her eyes suddenly narrowed.
Just as the Array on the stone platform began to circulate rapidly, with the runes glowing intensely.
Soon, an ancient shadow slowly emerged from the Array.
He wore a simple long robe, with golden hair and a face full of wrinkles. His gestures carried an inherent dominance.
At this moment, he spoke with a smile, "Since you can kneel before this old man, you must be polite and kind-hearted, take these things, and I can rest in peace."
Zhou Qing looked at the shadow on the Array, feeling speechless.
Obviously, this was just a projection left by the person back then, not even a lingering thought, and critically, he bowed in the wrong direction.
Nevertheless, he pretended to be shocked, turned to the two who were stunned, quickly went to the other side of the stone platform, and gratefully said, "Thank you, Senior, I won’t let you down."
After Zhou Qing bowed again, the Five-Color Array slowly dissipated, revealing several items on the platform.
Zhou Qing casually dusted off his knees, stood up, then embarrassedly looked at the silver-haired woman, scratched his head, and said, "Senior, I... I seem to have accidentally unlocked it!"
The two women just stared blankly, seemingly not yet recovered.
Is this even possible?
[Heart Mirror Points +9]
The remark above Lu Yaoyao’s head changed from [So Merciful] to [So Absurd].
"You..." The silver-haired woman finally recovered, about to say something but unable to describe the current scene for a moment.
Thinking back to various treasure places she encountered but had to abandon due to various reasons, feeling like she missed out on many treasures.
"Senior, please!" Zhou Qing sensibly stepped aside.
The silver-haired woman said nothing, moving forward, but hesitated to pick something, then looked at Zhou Qing and said, "You choose first!"
Zhou Qing didn’t expect such principle from her, but quickly waved his hands, "You should choose first."
The silver-haired woman remained silent, quietly staring at Zhou Qing.
For a moment, Zhou Qing felt uneasy and even a bit awkward.
What kind of person is this, cold and domineering!
Having no choice, he lowered his head slightly, letting his gaze fall on the stone platform.
The stone platform orderly displayed five items: three jade bottles of different colors, a beast hide scroll exuding an ancient aura, and a delicate storage bag.
