Chapter 328: Only This One, No Other
Inside this secret chamber, there were almost all the spiritual medicines that the Golden Horse Knights Hall had looted, extorted, stolen, and robbed over the years.
A considerable portion was also taken from the homes of officials and wealthy individuals after confiscations; anything of significant value was almost all gathered here. The Golden Horse Knights Hall even had a dedicated appraisal institution for this purpose.
Only high-quality items would be included. It was practically the pinnacle of a nation’s power operating simultaneously, and it also involved unscrupulous means... just how vast must this base be?
Moreover, included in this collection were the personal treasures of Diwu Qingrou amassed over the years; these were indeed remarkable, most of them gifted to Diwu Qingrou by those national defense sects of Great Zhao. Did these major sects really think they could offer anything of lower quality?
But now... it was all a tragedy!
Chu King of Hell swept through like a bandit; he began implementing a policy of total destruction! Steal everything, take everything, rob everything; then he had to earn the reputation of being super innocent and the demeanor of the top aristocracy!
Just think about how difficult that is. Having done all these bad deeds while still needing to act like a sage...
Chu Imperial Seat, on the other hand, was unfazed by the sweep, shaking his head and occasionally sighing.
“This... what a pity, if only it had an extra three hundred years of age…”
“This... not bad, well-preserved. It’s just a shame the color hasn’t turned white, lacking some depth.”
“This... not acceptable.”
“This... what a pity for this Blood Lotus, how come it can’t bloom for a few more years? Just a few years... what a shame.”
“This... sigh, the excavation was so unprofessional, breaking so many roots, what use is there in that?”
“Sigh... what a pity.”
“... I’m left speechless…”
“This pill page... what a waste.”
“Such a squandering of resources... you people... sigh, what can I say!”
While complaining and belittling, he brazenly plundered right under their noses, not letting any of the so-called 'trash' he mentioned slip away...
Yin Wutian, who had been accompanying them, went from proudly boasting at the start to now blushing and speechless...
Truly a feeling of utter embarrassment. What his family cherished as treasures was dismissed by others. This feeling was indeed hard to describe.
Chu Yang quickly finished scouring a long row on the left side and then shifted to the right; still the same process of opening, closing, and stealing, a seamless operation.
However, this time, he pretended to be a bit more reserved. He couldn’t just look around and take nothing, right? That would be too high-minded!
So...
“This one... I’ll take it since it’s barely acceptable.” He picked the smallest one out of ten.
“Uh, Young Master Ye, feel free to take more,” Yin Wutian said warmly.
“There’s not much here, after all. Although these things aren’t that great, for me, they’re quite rare,” Chu Yang said with an air of propriety, “It wouldn’t be proper for me to take more…”
Hearing this, even Chu Imperial Seat felt he should be blushing. Taking more wouldn’t be proper? You’ve already emptied it... how could you say that?
Yin Wutian sighed, truly a gentleman’s demeanor. Just this consideration for others was admirable...
In less than an hour, Chu Yang swept through all the cabinets. Feeling a bit unsatisfied.
Holding four or five medicinal materials, he turned to Yin Wutian, saying, “These can barely be used.” Noticing Yin Wutian’s confusion, he smiled, “What Lord Yin doesn’t know is that my Ye family’s mental technique is a bit special, so these healing items seem a bit different. Naturally, if I had treasures like the nine great elixirs, I wouldn’t need these…”
Chu Yang found it strange; although the medicines here were of excellent quality and plentiful, almost every item was a rare treasure, there wasn’t a single one of the legendary nine great elixirs.
