Platinum ancient coins, exchange for Haoyue treasure chest! (5000)

Chapter 569: platinum ancient coin, Exchange for Bright Moon Treasure Chest! (5000)

"Buzz!"

A halo radiating sacred light, one hundred meters in diameter, appeared.

Then, all the warriors and ancient trees skillfully stepped into it one after another.

The group of Ancient Elves looked bewildered.

The Elf Clan Chief Auriel asked, "Lord, what is this?"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Go in and you'll find out."

"Alright—"

Although Auriel didn't quite understand why this was necessary, since it was Cao Xing's command, he naturally obeyed.

With puzzled expressions, the elves entered the halo one after another.

After everyone had assembled,

They began to receive blessings one by one, in the same order as before.

It was worth mentioning that Liu Muxue's level had now soared to 91, becoming a tenth-tier Aurora Knight.

Similarly, her buff skills had also been greatly enhanced.

Now a single [Blessing of Courage] could increase everyone's attack by nearly fifteen thousand!

One could imagine what a concept that was!

Even Cao Xing, who was also Hero-level, could receive nearly a 40% attack boost.

As for the others, like the Arctic People, staff, and so on, they instantly gained the attack power of sixth or seventh tier.

This was the terror of a Hero-level support.

"Buzz! Buzz buzz!"

As various powerful blessing skills descended, the aura of all the warriors surged once again.

However, the greatest improvement was seen in the Ancient Elf Clan, who had never received blessings before.

The Elf Clan Chief Auriel said in disbelief, "By the Elf Ancestors!"

"To think such powerful abilities exist! Heavens!"

"I feel like I could now easily defeat a Hero-level mage!"

They all felt the surging power within them, as if reborn!

Even the female elves, with a gentle flap of their wings, could stir up a small whirlwind.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Chief Auriel, this is the method I mentioned before that allows warriors to recover quickly."

The chief said solemnly, "I see… This is the most miraculous power I have ever seen."

"Thank you, Lord, for your blessing!"

Then, he led the entire Elf Clan in a solemn bow to Cao Xing.

[Because you helped them increase their strength, territory member: Auriel Windwhisper's loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 83]

[Because you]

After hundreds of system notifications, the loyalty of these elves skyrocketed!

All of them now had loyalty above 70.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face as well, and then he said, "Chief Auriel, you've just arrived,"

"Currently, I don't have any tasks for you."

"Today, take the other elves and familiarize yourselves with the territory's environment."

"In the future, when there's time, teach them the common language of the continent."

The Elf Clan Chief said solemnly, "Yes, Lord. I will have them all begin learning the common language of the continent."

"I will strive to help my people integrate into this big family as soon as possible."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then called over another Arctic Person.

"Du An, take our new members and assign them residences."

"Yes, respected Lord."

With that, the Arctic Person turned and said, "Everyone, please follow me."

Hearing this, the several hundred elves followed Du An to the residential area of the territory.

Cao Xing glanced at the combat personnel on the field, then said,

"Come, report your recent situations to me."

The warriors exchanged glances, their expressions excited, as if they had much to say.

The group of Ascalon Warriors was the first to report: "Reporting to the Lord, after these days of battle, we have all reached the maximum level of the seventh tier."

The Wild Boar Warriors also said excitedly, "Lord, the Wild Boar Warriors have also all reached max level!"

"And us wandering swordsmen—"

Everyone reported one after another.

Including other troop types, the Centaur Warriors, and the Nightmare Archers had also mostly reached their current max level.

Cao Xing nodded in approval again.

He had now almost achieved his original goal.

Commanding over a thousand seventh-tier powerhouses, equivalent to over a thousand masters.

In addition, he had a large number of powerhouses capable of fighting above their tier, and a massive undead army of over a hundred thousand.

This terrifying force was enough to sweep across the battlefield and clear all obstacles for him!

Even when facing the Blood Legion, he had more confidence.

He said loudly, "Very good, everyone has performed excellently!"

"Now, there are still three days until the final wave of monsters attacks the city."

"I need you to go out and continue dealing with more Ice Nest Monsters."

Although these warriors were already at max level and killing monsters would not yield experience,

there was still a chance to drop Dragon Blood Warrior recruitment scrolls and gold points.

The warriors responded in unison, "Yes, we will do our utmost!"

With that, over a thousand people dispersed in a mighty crowd.

Then, Cao Xing looked at the core combat personnel on the field.

After this period, their levels had all risen rapidly.

Besides Liu Muxue, who had reached level 91, Sarah had also sprinted to level 89.

Including the giant dragon Seraphis, who had also reached level 94.

At this rate, counting himself, after the monster siege ended, he would likely have six level 100 creatures!

So Cao Xing said, "Muxue, Sarah, Bing Lan, you also continue dealing with the Ice Nest Monsters."

"Okay, Cao Xing."

"As you command, Lord!"

Liu Muxue and Sarah responded simultaneously.

Then, the three people and one dragon left the territory together.

Soon, only a few scattered combat personnel remained.

Cao Xing's gaze fell on the Frost Wolf Knight.

At this moment, Assam had already changed into a full set of red battle armor, and his aura had surged!

In addition, even his mount, the Frost Wolf, had evolved to the eighth tier, and its strength had greatly increased!

"Assam, report your recent situation."

"Yes!"

The knight stepped forward.

Then, he poured out everything that had happened to him in that tomb.

Including how he passed five rounds of trials and discovered the undead of the Tyrant Royd in the deepest part of the tomb.

And how the other tried to possess his body, leading to a life-and-death battle with Assam.

Hearing this, Cao Xing frowned slightly and asked, "What happened next? Did you kill it?"

Assam shook his head and said, "No, Lord."

"With the powerful blessing you granted me, I was able to suppress Royd's undead."

"But when I was about to kill him, this guy realized he was no match for me, so he voluntarily abandoned his spirit body and turned into a wisp of consciousness that drilled into my mind."

"Afterwards, I kept searching for traces of this guy, wanting to force him out of my body."

"But he hid very well. Since he drilled in, he has never revealed any aura again—"

"I don't know if this guy is still in my body."

After hearing this, Cao Xing frowned again.

He glanced at Assam's status and panel but saw no abnormalities.

But this knight would not lie.

So it seemed… the undead of the Tyrant Royd was still not giving up.

Now lurking within Assam's body, preparing to seize his body again.

Thinking of this, a chill flashed in Cao Xing's eyes!

Obviously, this tyrant's undead was a hidden danger that must be resolved as soon as possible.

If it erupted during a life-and-death battle in the future, it could have a fatal impact on Assam.

But to deal with such a being, one could only find powerhouses proficient in soul-type abilities, or use some special means.

"I understand, Assam. For now, continue as usual: train when you need to train, fight when you need to fight."

"If anything happens, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Lord!"

"I won't let this guy's undead affect my consciousness!"

Assam's tone was full of firmness and confidence!

Then, he took a bag from his waist.

"By the way, Lord, these are the things I collected in that tomb. Please take a look."

Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise, as if he hadn't expected Assam to have other gains besides the Tyrant's six-piece set.

But on second thought, it was normal.

After all, it was the tomb of a former king, so there would surely be other treasures.

Cao Xing reached out and took it, transferring all the contents into his dragon-patterned bag.

[Obtained: platinum ancient coin*214]

[Obtained: Gold ornaments (necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc.)*178.45 kg]

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

[Obtained: Spirit Rhyme Green Crystal * 1553]

[Obtained: Magic Pattern Stone * 3495]

[Obtained: Red Wine Braised Beef Recipe]

[Obtained: Blackened Hardwood]

[Obtained…]

There were many things inside the bag.

Besides a large amount of gold jewelry and gold bars, there were also high-level materials such as Mithril, Magic Energy Crystals, Frost White Crystals, and so on.

All in all, this was a truly astonishing amount of wealth.

Among them, there was something he had never obtained before.

"What is a platinum ancient coin?"

"Could it be an item from the same series as the gold ancient coin and silver ancient coin?"

With a look of confusion, Cao Xing took an ancient coin the size of a baby's fist out of his backpack.

The entire body emitted a white luster, and it was engraved with dense patterns.

He checked its attributes.

[platinum ancient coin: An extremely ancient and rare currency that is no longer in circulation on the continent.]

[Item Effect: After collecting 100 platinum ancient coins, you can exchange them for 1 Bright Moon Treasure Chest, from which you can obtain Epic-level ancient weapons, blueprints, recipes, etc…]

"As expected, this thing is an item from the same series as the gold ancient coin."

"Moreover, these platinum ancient coins can even be used to exchange for Bright Moon Treasure Chests!"

Cao Xing was instantly excited!

There is no need to mention how precious a Bright Moon Treasure Chest is, let alone the even rarer ancient Bright Moon Treasure Chest!

Up until now, he had only obtained two from monster sieges, and both had yielded good items.

There were over two hundred platinum ancient coins here, which meant he could exchange for two chests at once!

Thinking of this, Cao Xing became even more excited.

With a sense of anticipation, he proceeded directly with the exchange.

[Consume platinum ancient coin * 200 to exchange for Bright Moon Treasure Chest * 2?]

"Yes."

At the same time, two huge hexagram formations appeared in front of him.

"Hum!"

From these two magic formations, a kind of ancient aura emerged, as if a long-sealed seal had been broken.

After the light dissipated, two simple and unadorned Bright Moon Treasure Chests appeared before Cao Xing.

[Unlocked Bright Moon Treasure Chest * 2 discovered. Open them?]

"Yes!"

[Opened successfully.]

[Obtained: Luminous Flux Pauldrons (Orange)]

[Obtained: Jade Elephant Heart (Orange)]

[Obtained: Fragmentation Grenade * 6]

[Obtained: Magnetic Bomb * 8]

[Obtained…]

Seeing the items in the treasure chest, a strange look appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Interesting. The last time I opened one, it was Stone Flux Pauldrons, and this time it's Luminous Flux Pauldrons?"

"Then, besides these two types of pauldrons, are there any other series of pauldrons?"

Smiling, Cao Xing bent down and took the pair of pauldrons out of the chest.

The pauldrons were very light in texture and looked like they were made of some special material; holding them in his hand, he couldn't even feel their weight.

And when subjected to a slight impact, or gently shaken, they would emit bursts of white light, like a pair of wings of light.

Cao Xing sighed inwardly: "The appearance of these pauldrons is quite beautiful."

He checked their attributes.

[Luminous Flux Pauldrons (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Level: None]

[Unique Effect: After equipping, increases Attack Speed by 100% and decreases Movement Speed by 50%.]

(Description: A pair of pauldrons imbued with special power. After equipping, it can turn you into a master of lightning-fast strikes in an instant!)

Cao Xing sighed inwardly: "As expected… this series of equipment is all the same; while greatly enhancing a certain attribute, it also reduces another."

"But overall, the benefits still outweigh the negative status effects."

Then, he began to think in his heart about the best candidate for this piece of equipment.

A moment later, Cao Xing decided to give these pauldrons to the Dragon Speaker.

There were two reasons.

First, because in a combat state, she mostly relied on her dragon to carry her for movement, so she didn't rely much on her own movement speed.

Second, because her attack range was extremely wide, and she basically relied on sword qi for output.

And with these pauldrons, her attack power and destructive power could be raised to another level, perhaps even bringing about a qualitative change!

After making the decision, Cao Xing put them into his backpack.

He went to check the items in the other treasure chest.

This was a beautiful, translucent emerald green stone.

It was about the size of a fist, and holding it in his hand, he could feel a cold touch and a powerful vitality.

[Jade Elephant Heart (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Item Type: Special Item]

[Effect 1: The Jade Elephant Heart, which contains pure vitality, can be used on magical plants to immediately accelerate their growth by 200 years. Can be used at most 1 time.]

[Effect 2: After non-plant life forms absorb the vitality within the Jade Elephant Heart, their lifespan will increase by 50 years. This effect can take effect at most 3 times.]

(Description: As an ancient creature, the Jade Elephant possessed extremely powerful defense and a long lifespan. In that era, many powerful individuals would slaughter Jade Elephants in large numbers to obtain their hearts in order to extend their own lifespans. With large-scale hunting, this Legendary creature became increasingly rare and has now completely gone extinct…)

After reading the attributes of this item, an extreme shock appeared in Cao Xing's eyes!

"Holy crap! Accelerate growth time by two hundred years directly?"

"This effect is even more terrifying than that Millennium Tree Heart!"

"Moreover, this is not the most terrifying part about it,"

"This thing… can actually increase the lifespan of other creatures by 50 years!"

There is no need to explain what this concept means.

50 years is equivalent to a lifetime for an ordinary person in this world.

Those heroes and legends are at their most frantic when their lifespans are about to reach their limit.

Just like the Old King now.

And if they were told that there was something now that could increase their lifespan by 50 years just by eating it,

then these powerful individuals would definitely spare no cost to get their hands on this item!

Cao Xing thought about it for a while.

"I don't know if the Old King has ever used this kind of Jade Elephant Heart; after all, this thing only has 3 chances."

"If he hasn't used it, I could give this heart to him."

"50 years of lifespan should be able to let him hold on for a while longer!"

The Old King was his backer. Although this [Jade Elephant Heart] was precious and even Cao Xing himself wanted to use it,

it was better to give it to someone who needed it more.

He carefully put it into his backpack and then praised: "Not bad, Assam. The things you brought back are of great help to the territory."

Assam replied solemnly: "Being able to contribute to the territory is my honor!"

Cao Xing glanced at the knight's level.

Although he had broken through to an Eighth-Order Dominator-level creature some time ago, he was currently only barely at level 73, and including his mount, the Frost Wolf, it was only level 71.

During this time, Assam had been staying in the tomb, without the opportunity to farm monsters on a large scale.

Plus, without status skills, he couldn't share the experience of other warriors.

So the speed of leveling up was naturally not as fast as Liu Muxue and the others.

Just as Cao Xing decided to send Assam out to continue dealing with the Ice Nest, he suddenly remembered something.

He checked the effect of the Tyrant Set on Assam.

[Tyrant Set: King's Majesty (After activation, increases one's own skill damage by 45%, and causes a 20% defense reduction effect on enemies with a lower level than oneself, lasting 5 minutes. Cooldown: 60 minutes)]

"It increases skill damage? This effect is very good!"

"I previously gave Assam five Sword Language Stones, which increased his skill values by 50%; now, added together, it's 95%!"

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Although this trip to the tomb had experienced some twists and turns,

overall, the harvest was quite good.

So he said: "Alright, Assam, now you take Winter and go out to find Ice Nest Monsters to fight."

"Strive to improve your strength as soon as possible!"

The knight straightened his body and said respectfully: "Yes! Lord!"

After saying this, he controlled Winter, turning into a bolt of white lightning as he left the territory.

After Assam left, Cao Xing took another look at his gold points.

[gold point] * 3262
