Chapter 4565: 5.0317 I Am Too Rich

Mo Lian's behavior has been utterly perplexing since he was affected by the quick cultivation talisman, leaving Qiao Mu deeply worried.

The Grand Entrance to the Main Star

Before leaving, Qiao Mu made a quick trip to the Main Star, a place only accessible with her direct permission. It was Duan Yue's first time witnessing the activation of a manifestation talisman, as the air before them peeled away to reveal majestic mountains, flowing rivers, and vibrant green landscapes. It was as if layers of paintings were unfolding before his eyes. The magnificent Palace of Longevity then emerged from the mists, a truly grand and dreamlike sight.

"Come," Qiao Mu urged, pulling him out of his daze.

Duan Yue quickly followed, blinking. "Qiao Qiao, is this your treasure hall?"

Qiao Mu looked at the treasure hall with growing delight. "Mm-hmm. How is it?"

"It's truly spectacular," Duan Yue exclaimed, entering the grand hall with Qiao Mu.

Treasures Beyond Measure

Upon entering the first floor, Duan Yue saw a high ceiling resembling a starry sky, with countless large and small glowing orbs floating above them. Suddenly, one orb swiftly plunged downwards, heading straight towards them. Qiao Mu quickly reached out, peeled away the outer light, and revealed a purple glowing dagger within. It was incredibly sharp, capable of cutting hair and slicing through metal as if it were mud. With a flick, a faint purple light flashed in the air, accompanied by a bolt of lightning that instantly sliced a spiritual artifact Qiao Mu casually tossed into two halves.

"Here," Qiao Mu handed the dagger to Duan Yue beside her. "It chose you. Take it; it's quite good."

Duan Yue held it, his eyes filled with a smile. With a flash, his figure appeared several zhang away. "Space power."

[I wonder how many such short blades and daggers Master Uncle has forged, all Return-to-Origin artifacts imbued with spatial power.]

[My Master Uncle is too strong, isn't he? Does he just tinker with these Return-to-Origin artifacts all day when he has nothing else to do?]

"This was forged by my Master Uncle... it's equivalent to a sacred artifact here. Take it; its choosing you means it likes you quite a lot." Qiao Mu tugged at him. "Come, follow me upstairs to get something."

Duan Yue glanced at Qiao Mu with a subtle smile. After imprinting the purple, flowing dagger and recalling it to his spiritual consciousness, he slowly followed Qiao Mu.

A Grand Altar and a Special Cauldron

The two arrived on the second floor, and Duan Yue was quite awestruck. Before them was a vast sea of stars, with rows upon rows of colorful, oddly shaped small medicine bottles, clustered in formations, descending layer by layer from the ceiling in countless numbers. Qiao Mu led him straight to a wall. Besides rows of golden nanmu cabinets, there was also a small, square platform about a foot wide. It was enclosed by railings made of fingers-thick, shimmering, colorful gems.

Nine pure gold steps led up to the highest platform. At its center, a Nine Stars Reflecting Moon Cauldron sat imposingly, bubbling with heat and radiating a strong, fiery glow.

"Wait a moment," Qiao Mu said, leaving Duan Yue and rushing onto the platform.

Duan Yue, standing at the foot of the nine steps and looking up at the little one's series of actions, couldn't help but twitch his mouth, both amused and exasperated.

This platform must have been built by this guy out of peculiar taste, making it look like some kind of altar.

Truly a strange child.

Duan Yue flew up to the ninth step and stood beside Qiao Mu.

He watched as the little one lifted the cauldron's lid, her eyes curving into a smile.
