Chapter 37: Effortlessly Obtained

Su Luo tread lightly as she arrived at the third floor.

The entire Treasure Pavilion only had three floors; if it wasn't here, she wouldn't know what to do.

The third floor's space was much smaller than the two floors below.

Furthermore, the shelves were densely packed with books, which added a great deal of difficulty to Su Luo's search.

Su Luo leaned in for a closer look and discovered they weren't martial arts Secret Manuals, but rather some general histories of the continent, as well as principles and Cultivation insights regarding the six major elements.

Strange. These books are quite common, so why would they be placed so solemnly on the third floor?

Logically, shouldn't the third floor contain more precious treasures?

Su Luo was somewhat puzzled.

Eh— Su Luo's gaze fell upon the bookshelf; her body suddenly paused, and a flicker of joyful light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

With her cautious and meticulous instincts as an assassin, she suddenly realized something was slightly off with the books on the shelf before her.

This was a set of books kept in a rosewood box, nine volumes in total, standing vertically on the shelf.

The reason she said it was strange was that the books next to it all had some dust, but this set… it seemed to be touched frequently, as the surface was smooth and clean.

It was also possible the owner cherished it particularly much and thus wiped it often.

A cunning smile flashed across the corners of Su Luo's mouth.

This is it.

Su Luo's hand reached for this book box, fiddling with it up, down, left, and right for a long while; however, there was no reaction at all.

How could this be?

Su Luo's fine brows furrowed slightly. She thought for a moment, then began taking the books out of the box one by one.

She paused after each one she removed, listening carefully for any movement.

Just as she was taking out the sixth book, she suddenly felt as if this book were stuck to the box, and she couldn't pull it out no matter what.

Taking a closer look, she was immediately delighted; sure enough, this book was where the mechanism was located.

She pulled the book out abruptly.

"Swoosh—" A small sound rang out in the darkness, and she discovered the sound was actually coming from beneath her feet.

Su Luo looked toward the place where the sound originated.

At this moment, about one meter in front of her, one of the floorboards actually opened slowly, revealing a small black hole about ten square centimeters in size; if one didn't look closely, it would be impossible to discover.

Su Luo crouched down and leaned in to look, finding that a palm-sized small casket had appeared inside.

The small casket was made of sandalwood, and a faint, delicate fragrance of sandalwood lingered around it.

The small casket wasn't locked, so Su Luo could open it directly.

Inside the opened casket was a tiny jade porcelain bottle.

Su Luo examined it very carefully. It was a pure white, flawless jade bottle without any label; one couldn't tell what was inside from the outside at all.

Su Luo slowly opened the bottle and brought it to her nose to sniff; immediately, an unprecedented delicate fragrance diffused outward.

It was fresh and elegant, making one feel refreshed and joyful upon smelling it.

This fragrance was almost identical to the one Nangong Liuyun had described.

It seems this is the heavenly spirit water.

It really was obtained without any effort.

However, this was also thanks to Su Luo's professional quality from her past life; if she hadn't been cautious and paid attention everywhere, she wouldn't have found it even if she searched the entire Treasure Pavilion.

Su Luo placed the bottle of water along with the small casket into her bosom.

It wasn't that she liked this sandalwood casket, but rather that she had another purpose for it, and it would serve a great use.

Since she had already obtained what she wanted, naturally, it was time for a quick retreat.

But before retreating, that Purple Fish Jade Pendant was going to be put to great use.
