Chapter 100 Treasure Pavilion Treasure Selection! This Is the Treatment the Protagonist Should Have

Qingyun Sect, Treasure Pavilion.

This was an important area of the Sect, heavily guarded on ordinary days.

Only Disciples who had made great contributions or promoted to core Disciples were qualified to enter and select treasures.

Today, the plaza in front of the Treasure Pavilion was exceptionally lively.

When Gu Lan appeared in the plaza wearing that white robe with purple patterns, the originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down.

"Look quickly, it is Senior Brother Gu!"

"It was he who crippled Xiao Chen with one hand at the grand ceremony! That was a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator!"

"Too terrifying… I heard that he shone brilliantly at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, not only suppressing various geniuses, but also completely captivating the Saintess of Tianxiang Valley."

The crowd consciously cleared a spacious path, looking with complex eyes at the youth they had once regarded as a "kept man".

Who would still dare to call him a kept man now?

This was clearly… a god at eating soft rice aggressively!

Gu Lan shook his folding fan, swaggering through the middle of the crowd.

Unhindered all the way, he walked straight to the large gates of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Disciple Gu Lan, under the orders of the Sect Master, has come to select treasures."

He respectfully bowed to the white-haired Elder lying on the rattan chair sunbathing at the entrance.

Although this Elder looked unremarkable, in Gu Lan's perception, his strength was unfathomable, even slightly stronger than the Grand Elder.

"Hmm?"

The Elder opened his turbid eyes and glanced at Gu Lan indifferently.

But when he saw the mark on Gu Lan's neck, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in the Elder's turbid eyes, and a playful smile curled the corners of his mouth.

"Young people nowadays have quite a fiery temper."

"Ahem, Elder flatters me." Gu Lan's face did not turn red and his heart did not beat fast.

"Not bad, the Foundation is solid, and the Qi and blood are like a Dragon. No wonder you could captivate those two Senior Sisters of yours."

The Elder did not know whether he was praising or disparaging him, and casually tossed out a jade token.

"Go in. Remember, you can only choose from below the second floor, and you can only take away one."

"Greed makes one bite off more than one can chew; choosing what suits you best is the best."

"Disciple understands."

Gu Lan took the jade token and stepped into the Treasure Pavilion.

…

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, it was another world entirely.

The first floor was lined with a dazzling array of Magical Artifacts and Medicinal Pills. Although they were quite good, for Gu Lan right now, the attraction was not big.

He did not stay and went straight to the second floor.

The treasures on the second floor were significantly fewer, but every single one emitted astonishing Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

There were supreme-grade spiritual swords floating in the air, Profound Rank supreme-grade Cultivation Techniques sealed in jade boxes, and rare Medicinal Pills emitting medicinal fragrance.

"Quite a lot of good things."

Gu Lan was dazzled by the sight.

"However, what I lack most right now is a handy weapon."

Although the qingming sword was a High Grade Magical Artifact, with the explosive growth of his strength, especially with the blessing of the Blazing Sun Art and the alien fire, ordinary Magical Artifacts could hardly bear his power anymore.

During the last battle against Xiao Chen, he didn't even dare to use his full strength, for fear of shattering the qingming sword.

"System, get to work."

Gu Lan's mind stirred.

[Eye of Insight, activated.]

Swish——

The world before his eyes instantly changed.

All the treasures turned into data streams in his eyes.

[Ice Sword]: Supreme-grade Spiritual Artifact, suitable for ice-attribute Cultivators… Not suitable.

[Purple Gold Hammer]: High Grade Spiritual Artifact, heavy and powerful… Too ugly, does not match this young Master's temperament.

[Blazing Fire Banner]: …

Gu Lan looked all the way through, and although they were all good things, he always felt they lacked something.

Until he walked to the very corner of the second floor.

Piled there were some "miscellaneous items" that looked dilapidated and had obscure Spiritual Qi.

They were usually ancient objects whose specific grades could not be identified, or those that were severely damaged.

Gu Lan's gaze was attracted by a black broken sword stuck in a stone pier among them.

That sword only had half a blade left, pitch-black all over, covered with rust, looking just like a piece of scrap iron.

But under Gu Lan's [Eye of Insight], inside this "scrap iron", a terrifying red light surged, making one's heart palpitate!

That red light was as hot as magma, as bewitching as fresh blood, exuding an overbearing Concept of burning up the firmament.

[Item]: burning heaven broken sword (Sealed State)

[Grade]: ??? (Originally an ancient Immortal Artifact, sword spirit is dormant, current grade has dropped to supreme-grade Spiritual Artifact, but the material is indestructible)

[Attributes]: Extreme Yang, Destruction

[Description]: The sword worn by the ancient Fire God "Zhurong" when he was young, broken due to a divine war. It contains a trace of Innate Fire Essence, requiring a Pure Yang Body and alien fire to awaken the sword spirit and recast the blade.

"Holy cow! Immortal Artifact fragment?!"

Gu Lan's heart skipped a beat.

Was this the legendary bargain hunting?

And it was even the Fire God's sword! This was simply tailor-made for him, a holder of the Pure Yang Body and alien fire!

"It's this one!"

Gu Lan forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked over quickly.

He reached out and grasped the rough hilt.

"Sizzle——"

The moment his palm touched the hilt, a scorching stream of Qi rushed straight into his body along his arm.

There was no repulsion; instead, it felt like cheering!

The Green Lotus Core Flame inside Gu Lan's body operated automatically, pouring into the broken sword along his arm.

Hum!!!

That originally dead broken sword suddenly emitted a weak yet clear sword hum.

The rust on the blade rustled down, revealing the dark red blade body underneath, as if magma was flowing within it.

"Good sword!"

Sharp light burst out in Gu Lan's eyes.

Although it was a broken sword, it felt heavy in his hand, and that feeling of blood connection made him fondle it admiringly.

"With this sword, going to Tianxiang Valley this time…"

"I will be even more confident."

He put the broken sword into his storage ring and walked downstairs with satisfaction.

Entrance.

The white-haired Elder glanced at the broken sword in his hand, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"That sword has been placed there for hundreds of years, and no one could pull it out, nor could anyone sense its spirituality."

"Unexpectedly… you actually awakened it."

The Elder gave Gu Lan a meaningful look.

"Kid, it seems your Opportunity is indeed quite profound."

"Thank you, Elder."

Gu Lan bowed in salute, then turned and strode away.

Under the setting sun.

Sword in hand, beauty… in arms.

Gu Lan was in a great mood.

"Now…"

He touched the broken sword in the storage ring, a wicked smile hooking the corners of his mouth.

"It is time to go back and find Master to 'reimburse' me."

"Repairing this broken sword is a big project. Without Master's help, I can't handle it alone."
