As Lin Langtian stepped into the stone door, a strong light greeted him, causing him to squint reflexively.
After a moment, he gradually adjusted and looked around.
Before him appeared an immensely vast stone cave, shrouded in layers of light screens.
At the top of the cave, which reached a height of hundreds of feet, were some openings through which sunlight poured, intensifying the brightness.
The area of this stone cave was incredibly vast and long. Lin Langtian couldn't see the end even after a quick glance.
"So, this is the Lin Clan's treasure trove?" Lin Langtian muttered to himself, his hand gently reaching out. Soon, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He could feel the abundant natural energy here, far surpassing that outside.
"Are these the treasures of the clan's treasure trove?" Lin Langtian's gaze swept around the light screens surrounding the cave. Within them, he could see clusters of light.
Inside those clusters of light were wrapped various spiritual treasures. However, even the best among them were only of high quality.
For Lin Langtian now, perhaps only Earth-grade spiritual treasures would catch his interest.
"The real treasures must be deeper inside." Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured.
Linked with the Nine Nether Sparrow's bloodline, his perception had increased significantly, perhaps rivaling that of a Profound Life stage powerhouse.
With that in mind, Lin Langtian no longer hesitated and quickly walked towards the depths of the stone cave.
In the vast stone cave, dazzling lights flowed from all directions, making everything incredibly splendid.
An ordinary person entering might get lost here for who knows how long. Every item here was valuable, even taking one casually would be considered a significant gain.
However, Lin Langtian merely glanced roughly at these treasures, losing interest immediately, and continued straight towards the clan's treasure trove without stopping.
The area of the treasure trove was quite large. Lin Langtian strolled for almost half an hour before gradually reaching the depths.
In the depths of the treasure trove, the scene was entirely different from outside. Numerous lights outlined paths, each leading to a stone platform covered by light.
On those stone platforms floated various powerful spiritual treasures, elixirs, martial arts, and more.
However, Lin Langtian only spared a glance at the elixirs and martial arts. He was only interested in Earth-grade spiritual treasures now. As for the martial arts of the Lin Clan, even if they were Profound level, he was not particularly interested at the moment.
Turning around, Lin Langtian eagerly gazed at the five glowing spheres within the light screens. These were the five Earth-grade spiritual treasures belonging to the Lin Clan.
The first one on the left resembled a soft sword, blood-red all over, giving off a sharp aura like a blood python. However, it wasn't the style Lin Langtian preferred.
He shifted his gaze to the next one, a yellowish turtle shell with strange patterns covering it, exuding a sense of solidity like the earth.
"It seems to be a defensive spiritual treasure, good for survival, a decent backup option," Lin Langtian murmured.
With this thought, Lin Langtian continued to look further.
The third spiritual treasure was a black spear, seemingly made from the bones of an ancient monster, extremely sharp, even making Lin Langtian, at his current level, feel a bit intimidated.
The fourth Earth-grade spiritual treasure was a gray armor, with flowing lights and a faint image of an ancient giant bear, showing its defensive capabilities not inferior to the turtle shell.
As for the last one, it was a huge hexagonal black mirror. On the mirror, mysterious dark light flowed, emanating a special and powerful aura.
Seeing this mirror, Lin Langtian's eyebrows raised. If he remembered correctly, this should be the 'Spirit Wheel Mirror,' the Earth-grade spiritual treasure that the original Lin Langtian used in the previous timeline.
Compared to the other four spiritual treasures, this Spirit Wheel Mirror could be used for both offense and defense, making it an excellent choice.
With this in mind, Lin Langtian suddenly recalled something. With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the mist of elemental energy in front of him.
As the mist cleared, a huge stone platform appeared in front of him.
Lin Langtian's gaze swept towards the center of the massive stone platform, where a small black object the size of a palm caught his attention.
Lin Langtian squinted his eyes and observed closely. He discovered that the black object was a tiny mountain peak sculpture placed on the stone platform, seemingly for decoration.
"It's indeed the Heavy Prison Peak." Taking two steps forward, Lin Langtian stared fixedly at the seemingly lifeless black mountain peak, murmuring.
In the previous timeline, Lin Dong defeated Lin Langtian at the clan meeting and obtained the opportunity to enter the clan's treasure trove, where he acquired this Heavy Prison Peak.
Although the Heavy Prison Peak seemed no different from an ordinary decoration, the truth was quite the opposite. This item was the most precious Earth-grade spiritual treasure in the Lin Clan's treasure trove!
Thinking of this, a fervent light flickered in Lin Langtian's eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he reached out with one hand and gently grasped the small black mountain peak.
However, just as Lin Langtian was about to lift it, he was surprised to find that the mountain peak remained unmoved under his touch!
"Damn it, I forgot that subduing this thing requires the power of Yuan Essence!" Remembering something, Lin Langtian slapped his forehead in frustration.
Yuan Essence power was the fusion of mental power and elemental energy, much stronger than a single attribute alone. Lin Dong possessed this ability in the previous timeline, using it to subdue the Heavy Prison Peak.
However, Lin Langtian was not even a rune master; his mental power was weak, let alone Yuan Essence power.
Looking at the Heavy Prison Peak, Lin Langtian's eyes flickered incessantly. In the end, he could only sigh regretfully.
Without the power of Yuan Essence, with his current cultivation level, he couldn't subdue the Heavy Prison Peak at all.
For now, he could only choose another Earth-grade spiritual treasure.
"Never mind, since this item has a connection with Lin Dong, I'll choose something else." Consoling himself, Lin Langtian shook his head.
After a moment, Lin Langtian regained his composure and approached the five spiritual treasures.
Although the Heavy Prison Peak was excellent, Lin Langtian had no fate with it. He didn't have to insist on it. With this thought, Lin Langtian shifted his gaze to the black hexagonal mirror.
Compared to the other spiritual treasures, this Spirit Wheel Mirror indeed had more comprehensive attributes. Lin Dong, the original owner, must have chosen it for this reason.
With this in mind, Lin Langtian beckoned, and the black hexagonal mirror flew into his hand.
Compared to the stubbornness of the Heavy Prison Peak, this Spirit Wheel Mirror was much more obedient, requiring little effort for Lin Langtian to hold it.
After deciding to take the Spirit Wheel Mirror, Lin Langtian no longer hesitated. With a thought, he squeezed out a drop of blood and infused it into the mirror, starting the process of making it his own.
The process of making the mirror his own went smoothly. The mirror allowed his blood to enter its deepest part effortlessly, where Lin Langtian imprinted a blood seal formed from his essence.
However, just as the blood seal formed, a sudden change occurred!
A dazzling golden light erupted from within Lin Langtian's body, shining like a blazing sun, too intense to gaze upon directly.
Within the golden light were numerous ancient and mysterious runes, hinting at immense power.
To Lin Langtian's surprise, these golden runic lights surged towards the Spirit Wheel Mirror like a tide.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the mirror emitted a buzzing sound, and mysterious golden light enveloped it.
Simultaneously, those obscure and mysterious runes were engraved onto the mirror, transforming the once black hexagonal mirror into a golden, mystic mirror adorned with runes...
