"Is this the Treasure Vault of the Myriad Buddhas Sect?" Gao Fei looked at the cave in front of him, feeling somewhat ambivalent, "Doesn't it seem a bit too shabby?"

"Indeed, it does look a bit shabby." He Hentian curled his lip, "Old monk, are you playing a joke on us?"

Duanmu Hong's gaze towards Abbot Xuan Si was also somewhat hostile.

"You people are too superficial," Abbot Xuan Si sighed, "Too easily deceived by appearances."

"What do you mean?" Duanmu Hong furrowed his brows, "Make yourself clear."

Abbot Xuan Si pointed his finger at the cave opposite, "This cave is indeed the only Treasure Vault of the Myriad Buddhas Sect." He paused for a moment, "It may look worn down on the surface, but inside... there's a completely different world."

"A different world?" Duanmu Hong's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Don't believe me? Come, let me take you inside for a look." Abbot Xuan Si opened the cave's door and then led Duanmu Hong and the others inside.

"Hiss..."

After entering the cave, Duanmu Hong and the others gasped in astonishment—it was so spacious, so splendid, so awe-inspiring.

Just as Abbot Xuan Si had said, the cave housed a different world within. From the outside, it looked decrepit and unremarkable, but once inside, they found that the cave was vast, and its ceiling was inlaid with dazzling beads. There were small compartments along the stone walls, each holding various treasures, with a wooden plaque below each compartment that described the origin and function of the treasures.

Looking around, the compartments were numerous and seemed endless.

Gao Fei nodded, "We were indeed superficial, fooled by the surface. But then again, why does the Myriad Buddhas Sect do it this way?"

"Mainly to thwart thieves," Abbot Xuan Si explained, "A burglar seeing such a dilapidated cave would definitely think there's nothing valuable inside, and thus wouldn't bother to break in and steal. Isn't that the reason?"

"You are cunning enough," Gao Fei remarked with a smirk, "coming up with such methods."

"Come on, I'll take you to choose the Buddha Treasures," Abbot Xuan Si said, "I can give you at most three Buddha treasures, one for each person, I hope you won't be too greedy."

"There's no rush to take the Buddha Treasures," Gao Fei waved his hand, "Let me take a look around first. To tell you the truth, it's my first time entering such a large-scale Treasure Vault. Gosh, there must be tens of thousands of treasures here, right? What's this? Soul Pills? Used for condensing the soul? Is this Ginseng? It's so large? Must be at least ten thousand years old, right? And this... looks like a rock, but feels kind of soft..." Gao Fei walked along, stopping to touch and comment whenever he saw something that interested him.

Duanmu Hong and He Hentian weren't idle either; they too started to look around.

"Hey, hey, don't touch things randomly; some of them are very fragile and will break with just a touch," Abbot Xuan Si said in a panic, "Aren't you here to pick Buddha Treasures? I'll take you there right now..."

Gao Fei and the others paid no heed to Abbot Xuan Si, just wandering around on their own.

"Hey, hey, put down that gourd, don't touch it recklessly."

"Hey, hey, put down that bead, don't fiddle with it."

"Hey, hey, that Spiritual Medicine is very precious, don't touch it with your hands."

...

Abbot Xuan Si felt a rush of anxiety inside; he suddenly had the feeling of having invited the wolf into his house, "Don't wander off anymore, hurry and follow me to choose the Buddha Treasures. Little Ancestor is still waiting outside, we shouldn't waste time."

"I said, can you shut your mouth?" Duanmu Hong turned her head and glared fiercely at Abbot Xuan Si, "Like a buzzing fly, so annoying, I'm warning you, if you keep blabbering, I'll throw you out. And if anything goes missing here, don't you regret it."

"Uh..." Abbot Xuan Si's face turned purple as he struggled with his lips several times but ultimately didn't dare to speak again.

"Wow, all these treasures, such good stuff," Gao Fei exclaimed in admiration.

"It's no wonder, coming from a great sect with hundreds of thousands of years of heritage. The foundations are indeed rich." He Hentian touched this and looked at that, picking up an item and reluctant to put it back, "I really want to take all these things with me."

"Ah?" Abbot Xuan Si was terrified.

He Hentian glanced at Abbot Xuan Si, "I'm just joking, look how scared you got."

...

"Eh? What's this?" Gao Fei stopped in his tracks and picked up a shiny object, "There's a strange energy contained within this."

"This is an ancient egg," Abbot Xuan Si explained, "from Ancient Times."

"An ancient egg?" Gao Fei asked, "It's not for hatching bugs, is it?"

"It can't," Abbot Xuan Si shook his head, "Although this ancient egg is well preserved, the life within it has long been dead; it's impossible to hatch any bugs from it."

"So, you mean this ancient egg is useless?" Gao Fei frowned, "If it's useless, why not throw it away? What's the point of keeping it here? As a decoration?"

"You can't say it's useless," Abbot Xuan Si said, "This ancient egg is a relic from Ancient Times, very precious. It contains energy, and even though it can't hatch life anymore, it can still be used as food for other bugs."

"Food for other bugs?" Gao Fei blinked, "What happens after they consume it?"

"They can evolve," Abbot Xuan Si stated.

"Evolve?" Gao Fei's eyes lit up, "Are you serious? You're not fooling me?" He was carrying bugs with him, and not just any bugs, but those left over from Ancient Times, capable of absorbing poison, spitting poison, with incredibly tough teeth, a major weapon in Gao Fei's arsenal.

"It's true," Abbot Xuan Si asserted.

"Great, I'm taking this ancient egg," Gao Fei said and directly placed the ancient egg into his storage ring.

"Ah?" Abbot Xuan Si's complexion changed, "How can you do that? Take the ancient egg out right now! You can't have it."

"I won't," Gao Fei said, hands behind his back, walking ahead, "This ancient egg would just be sitting here anyway, it's better off with me. Just so you know, I happen to carry some bugs with me. Feeding them this ancient egg will let them evolve; it's a good deal."

"You stop right there," Abbot Xuan Si hurried over and reached out to stop Gao Fei, "Take that ancient egg out! Don't force me to take action!"

"Ha! You dare to lay a hand on me?" Gao Fei laughed coldly, "Senior Duanmu, this old fellow is making trouble."

"Let him try!" Duanmu Hong snorted coldly, "If he dares to touch you, I'll cripple him, then rob all the treasures and destroy the Myriad Buddhas Sect."

"You... you can't do this... it's not right..." Abbot Xuan Si was so angry his face turned green and his body shook uncontrollably, "This is robbery..."

"Robbery?" Gao Fei laughed, "You don't really think that after we enter the Treasure Vault, we would only take the Spiritual Treasures, do you? If you really think that, then you're too naive." He gestured to the treasures around them, "With so many treasures, we'd be fools not to choose a few more. Even a fool would grab more than one. Listen up, if you cooperate nicely, we'll only take a small part. But if you resist and cause trouble, we'll empty this place out. Then, don't come crying to us."
