The old man’s eyes bulged enormous while his limbs felt paralyzed, making it impossible to turn his head.

“What did you do to me?” The old man cried, locking eyes with Fang Lin in anger.

Fang Lin roared with laughter, with a look of triumph plastered on his face, then walked over, snatching the token from the old man.

“Nothing much, just added a sprinkle of venom for my dear elder.” Fang Lin said, flashing a victorious smile as he casually flashed the token in front of the old man’s eyes.

The old man turned pale with anger, feeling helpless. He was completely clueless about how and when he was poisoned.

Seeing Fang Lin’s arrogance, the old man gnashed his teeth in anger, wishing he could pin Fang Lin to the ground and punch him in the face.

Unfortunately, he could barely move an inch, let alone retaliate.

“Given your strength, elder, the poison should not affect you much. It will wear off soon.” Fang Lin walked over to the vault’s entrance, placing the token in the slot.

As the glow from the token lit up, the vault’s door creaked open, revealing a gap for him to pass through.

Fang Lin glanced back at the crumpled old man, his face lit up with victory, and then stepped into the vault, the door closing with a thud behind him.

The old man gritted his teeth, standing frozen and looking like a stuck pole.

Inside the vault, Fang Lin was taken aback by the sight before him, his mouth agape to the point where he could probably fit a duck’s egg.

All sorts of treasures were arranged on metal shelves, their radiance illuminating the vault in a multitude of colors.

At a brief glance, there were at least a hundred treasures here.

Fang Lin was thrilled; he had so many treasures to choose from.

He was only allowed to bring out a single treasure, making it critical to select something that would be of the most use to him. If he could find something that was not only the best but also suited him the most, that would be perfect.

Meanwhile, on the Purple Mist Peak, Han Luoyun and his daughter, Han Yinyue, stood together, both wearing inscrutable smiles.

“The boy does have some tricks up his sleeve; he actually managed to pass the test set by Elder Xu.” Han Luoyun laughed

On hearing this, Yinyue’s face filled with surprise: “How did he manage to pass?”

Han Luoyun answered, “He used poison to take down Elder Xu, a cunning strategy indeed.”

Han Yinyue chuckled; this was classic Fang Lin. No one else would have dared to use poison against a sect elder.

“Father, what do you think Fang Lin will choose from the vault?” Han Yinyue asked.

Han Luoyun thought for a moment before responding, “Given his character, he might just take away the Great Mysterious Sword.”

Han Yinyue shook her head and laughed lightly, “I don’t think he will choose the Great Mysterious Sword. Although it’s a good weapon, it wouldn’t be suitable for Fang Lin.”

Han Luoyun looked at her in surprise, “Then what do you think he will choose?”

Han Yinyue smiled faintly, “He will probably choose the Shenlong Cauldron.”

Jolted, Han Luoyun held his head and laughed, “I forgot about the Shenlong Cauldron. He is a Pill Refiner, so naturally, he’d be more interested in a Pill Furnace.”

At the same time, Fang Lin, who was inside the vault, was also having a hard time deciding.

None of the treasures in the vault piqued his interest, and while some were good, they didn’t seem to offer much help to him.

There were two items, however, that caught Fang Lin’s eye, but he was torn over which to choose.

One was a longsword placed within a jade box, its hilt engraved with the words ‘Great Mysterious’ and exuding a faint white aura. Although it wouldn’t catch the eye on a first glance, it emitted a powerful aura.

Based on its placement in the vault, Fang Lin estimated that this sword was likely the most valuable item there. Naturally, he was tempted to take the sword.

But then, there was also a cauldron in the vault that caught his attention.

The Shenlong Cauldron was tucked away in a corner, almost invisible if not looked for. It wasn’t until later on that he noticed it.

Imprinted onto the cauldron’s surface was a realistic design of a True Dragon, sprouting fear into those who looked upon it.

Furthermore, the inside of the Shenlong Cauldron had a hint of Dragon Qi, something Fang Lin didn’t expect.

True Dragon, the most revered amongst all the divine creatures, even a tiny wisp of its Qi was incredible and terrifyingly powerful.

Merely the presence of the True Dragon’s Qi probably raised the value of the Shenlong Cauldron significantly, and its material being crafted from Dragon-blood gold made it even more desirable.

The so-called Dragon-blood gold wasn’t gold bathed in the blood of the dragon but was formed from a Flood Dragon’s blood that soaked into the ground after its death.

Technically, the Dragon-blood gold contained the blood of a Flood Dragon and fell short in comparison to that of a True Dragon’s blood.

Even so, the value of the Shenlong Cauldron was astronomically high. In Fang Lin’s perspective, beside the Great Mysterious Sword, no other treasure could compete with the Shenlong Cauldron.

For Fang Lin, this was exactly the kind of Pill Furnace he needed. His Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell had a long way to go before it upgraded, and he needed a high-quality Pill Furnace like the Shenlong Cauldron to progress further.

Otherwise, it seemed unlikely for Fang Lin to break through to the Heavenly Origin realm, given his current level of cultivation.

On the other hand, the Great Mysterious Sword was an exceptionally rare treasure as well. He was positive that his strength would increase tremendously if he took it with him.

He was caught between two promising treasures and could only choose one, which was a huge dilemma for Fang Lin.

At the moment, Fang Lin wished he could take both items with him. However, he knew that it wasn’t possible; choosing one treasure was already considered generous of Han Luoyun. If he tried to take two, Han Luoyun would probably bury him alive.

Fang Lin genuinely struggled to make a decision. He took out the Message Tranmitting Jade Slip and cautiously asked Han Luoyun if he could take two treasures instead.

Within seconds, Han Luoyun’s response came, succinctly stating– No!

Fang Lin was speechless and in his mind called Han Luoyun miserly. He then stared at both the Great Mysterious Sword and the Shenlong Cauldron, torn between them. After weighing the options, he finally decided on the Shenlong Cauldron.

Afer storing the Shenlong Cauldron into his Nine Palace Bag, Fang Lin was about to leave when he noticed a painting hanging on the wall where the Shenlong Cauldron was previously positioned.

Fang Lin furrowed his brows. How come there was a painting here? Unless Shenlong Cauldron was moved, the painting would’ve remained hidden. He wondered who had left it there?

Out of curiosity, Fang Lin took the painting and unrolled it to get a better look.

The moment he saw the figure depicted in the painting, his expression froze. An unprecedented wave of shock flickered across his face.
