Shennong Dao Master

"Achoo~"

Within the Fu Ming's Manor in the Royal City.

Zhao Xing, who was tallying treasures, suddenly sneezed.

"Hmm? I've reached this realm, how did I suddenly sneeze?"

"Could it be that I'm sick?"

Zhao Xing was extremely vigilant.

Strong ones typically don't get sick, and if they do, it's a serious illness.

"Inner Five Elements, Zhou Tian Qi Dong!"

Zhao Xing immediately checked his body carefully.

He could write the Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory, while the Inner Five Elements and Six Qi referred to the six qi of the body.

He was also quite sensitive to symptoms of some diseases.

After all, the Dragon Court Ancient Land is a world vastly different from the outside world, but Zhao Xing carefully examined and found nothing abnormal.

"No illness, then someone is thinking of me."

Zhao Xing cast the "Five-Finger Destiny" and calculated with his fingers.

A sensation from the void transmitted to him, and a blurred scene appeared before his eyes.

"Huge stones arise; isn't this the stone treasure vault I just visited?"

If he hadn't been there, it would have been difficult to glean any useful information from such a simple image.

But Zhao Xing had just been there, so he naturally judged quickly.

"Someone went there." Zhao Xing increased his effort, depleting much of his primordial energy in an instant, and then saw several vague silhouettes.

There were a total of five figures, each carrying a coffin.

One purple figure was roaring at the sky at the original site of the stone vault.

"Could it be someone from the Corpse Puppet Sect?"

"So that's it... This person must be a strong one from the Corpse Puppet Sect."

"Am I resented by someone at the Heavenly Fate Realm?"

Zhao Xing ended the spell, glanced at the Calendar, which had been adjusted to the version used in the Dragon Court Ancient Land.

It also contained a prompt: [Windfall at the Door, Calamity from the East, Minor Misfortune.]

"Doesn't matter, in the Royal City, they can't do anything to me anyway."

Putting away the Calendar, Zhao Xing walked to Cao Qianyue's side.

"How is it?"

Cao Qianyue was using a Hundred Skill Ruler to pry open an ancient-looking box.

"It's quite hard to open."

Cao Qianyue didn't take his eyes off it, the light on the box fluctuating in waves.

"These are some ancient 'mustard seed' arrays, not many in Great Zhou teach this version of the mechanical array techniques."

Mr. Zhao, now wealthy, said nonchalantly, "It's fine, don't feel pressured; if it doesn't work, just force it open."

Forcing it open could easily damage the items inside.

The Dragon Craftsmen from Fu Ming, after all, didn't understand the Human Clan's arrays; in their eyes, a human's box was as small as a grain of rice.

For large arrays they could break them quickly, but for the more fragile structures like the boxes from the Corpse Puppet Sect, it was more troublesome.

Zhao Xing called Cao Qianyue along earlier and prepared tools to tackle such situations.

Cao Qianyue, although large, was adept with his hands.

His hands, modified, suddenly extended five flat lock picks from the fingernail of his left hand, inserting them into the small holes exposed on the box.

He lifted a hammer with his right hand, and from its protruding surface, four gyroscope-like metals detached.

"Lift!"

Cao Qianyue's left hand suddenly emitted five different lights, and the previously unified square box suddenly bounced up, revealing a half-finger gap, but there was a force pressing down, trying to close the chest.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak~"

The four gyroscopes quickly lodged into the box's central gap and spun rapidly, forming a wedge.

"Four-direction Palace Rotation Device, quite impressive, Cao."

Zhao Xing watched Cao Qianyue unlock the box with great interest; one must admit, men can't resist such scenes.

"Creak, creak, creak, creak~"

"Lift!"

The box floated up, trembling continuously.

The doors flew open!

But Cao Qianyue had no third hand to reach into the box's contents.

"Marquis, lend a hand!"

Cao Qianyue's face flushed red.

"How to do it?"

"Touch the box."

Zhao Xing nodded, quickly sending a grassman avatar's hand inside to grab two items.

"Empty, is it empty, Marquis!"

"It's empty!"

Bang!

Cao Qianyue retracted his hands, the four Palace Rotation Devices sharply withdrawing.

Bang!

The box abruptly shifted, becoming tightly sealed once again.

Crackling sounds~

Zhao Xing could hear the internal mechanisms seemingly grinding and causing destruction.

In the blink of an eye, the box, half the height of a person, collapsed, sunk, emitted smoke, and turned to powder.

"Phew~"

Cao Qianyue wiped his sweat.

Zhao Xing lifted the items in his hand, chuckling, "Good job, Dunlie, I didn't expect you to have a knack for opening boxes."

The two treasures in his hand were leather scrolls, which Zhao Xing identified as very ancient Dragon Clan artistic relics through the dragon script.

They might not have much practical use, but they were certainly valuable!

Dragon King Yin Xiu loved these sorts of ancient collectibles, just like the Ritual Repairer enjoyed collecting old paintings and calligraphy.

The magic box storing them was no simple mechanism; having to use the Four-direction Palace Rotation Device to break it required the skill of a Third Grade Craftsman. That Cao Qianyue could open it was indeed impressive.

The Military Supervisor was quite versatile, and Cao Qianyue was a genius among them.

"Hehe, you're too kind, Marquis," Cao Qianyue responded with an honest grin. "My speed is still too slow."

"Just keep at it here," Zhao Xing smiled. "If you get tired or hungry, you can help yourself to the Dragon Crystals, take as much as you want!"

"Thank you, Marquis!" Cao Qianyue nodded excitedly. He cultivated the Gluttonous Eating Skill, where normal food had little effect now, but he had never had Dragon Crystals from the outside world, which were quite beneficial; Zhao Xing letting him eat freely was a delight.

Patting Cao Qianyue on the shoulder, Zhao Xing walked out with a smile.

Cao Qianyue stayed in the mansion to unlock and tally.

Zhao Xing, meanwhile, continued leading a team of Fu Ming Dragon Craftsmen to unlock secret vaults.
