Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Chapter 231: Reactions from All Sides


Inside the Medicine King Hall branch in Snake Fish Town, special terms emerged from the mouths of Qin Yuxian and Shan Lingguan.

"What is the Void Sky Treasure Box?"

Chen Ku couldn't help but be curious.

He seemed not to have encountered any descriptions of this item in the memory inheritance related to the Xu Family or the route map to the underground palace.

"Void Sky Treasure Box..."

Qin Yuxian glanced at his junior brother and slowly explained:

"Have you ever heard, junior brother, about a legendary artifact in folklore called the 'Treasure Bowl'?"

"The Treasure Bowl? Of course, I've heard of it."

Chen Ku thought for a moment, then said:

"I've heard that the Treasure Bowl can replicate the treasures within extraordinarily; throw in a copper coin, and by the next day, the bowl will be full of copper coins. It is said to yield what is sowed, to the extent that whatever is tossed into the bowl will return manifold."

Even in his past life, there were some folklore accounts about this object.

The wealthiest merchant of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan, was reportedly wealthy beyond measure because of possessing a Treasure Bowl.

However, as it is said, 'a gentleman's possession of wealth invites sin,' Shen Wansan suffered a massacre in the stories because of it.

"Could it be that the Void Sky Treasure Box is an artifact like the Treasure Bowl?"

Chen Ku was alarmed:

"Is it that magical?"

"The Treasure Bowl is a part of folklore; no one has ever seen it to date. But the Void Sky Treasure Box truly exists..." Shan Lingguan said while stroking his beard, "It's said that this Void Sky Treasure Box is an artifact of the Immortal Realm, connecting with the Immortal Realm, and every so often, it emits various treasures from the box, including pills, weapons, jewelry, curios, and countless amounts of gold and silver..."

Qin Yuxian nodded and said, "Master Uncle is correct. As for the Void Sky Treasure Box, its renown dates back to the Hong Dynasty's Ancestor. That Ancestor of the Hong Dynasty was originally a common person, and he was able to conquer the world only because he unexpectedly obtained this Void Sky Treasure Box, from which he received a treasure item every so often. Hence, in the early years, the Ancestor of the Hong Dynasty was known by the nickname 'Duo Bao Taoist.' Later, the Hong Dynasty's rule lasted for four hundred years... Hero King Pei Dongliu was the first to lead troops into Hongjing City, seized countless treasures within, and established the Hero King Treasure. It's speculated that the Void Sky Treasure Box might be in one of these Hero King Treasures."

Shan Lingguan also slowly said, "Since Ancestor Daji ascended to the throne, he rallied the whole world to search for the whereabouts of the Hero King Treasures and pursued the descendants of the Four Great Heavenly Kings under Pei Dongliu. Over the past hundred and fifty years, two underground palaces of the Hero King Treasures have been consecutively opened, yet the Void Sky Treasure Box has not been seen so far. Thus, it is suspected that the Void Sky Treasure Box is within the underground palace treasures constructed by the remaining two Heavenly Kings, which should be the third Hero King Treasure."

"The premise is that we don't know whether the news about this treasure is true?" Qin Yuxian frowned and asked, "When Baojiao County was just conquered, this message suddenly emerged, and it's hard to guarantee it wasn't orchestrated by someone with intentions."

"It's true! This Hero King Treasure is real!"

Chen Ku proclaimed directly:

"I can guarantee it!"

With those words,

Qin Yuxian and Shan Lingguan looked at Chen Ku incredulously and asked, "You can guarantee it? Could it be..."

Chen Ku finally awaited this opportunity, looked at Qin Yuxian, and said:

"Senior brother, do you remember when I asked you not long ago if you could spare the time to go to a place with me and our master?"

"Could it be?"

Qin Yuxian asked in disbelief:

"It's this very Hero King Treasure?"

At this time, Shan Lingguan was even more astonished: "Disciple, how do you know the location of this Hero King Treasure?"

"Not only do I know the location of the treasure, but I also know who disseminated this information."

Chen Ku explained:

"The person who released this information is none other than the County Magistrate Shangguan Yun of Baojiao County. As for how I learned about the treasure clues, it dates back to last year..."

He gave a brief account of the relationship between the Xu Family and Shangguan Yun to the two of them.

Yet he glossed over his own affairs related to the Transformation Diagram.

He vaguely said:

"Also, after that incident, due to certain accidents, I acquired part of the Xu Family Bloodline memory, wherein memories about the Hero King Treasure's underground palace route emerged in my mind. However, I only knew the route, but not the location, until I recently tracked Shangguan Yun's men and found the underground palace's location. Unfortunately, there stands a Seventh Realm Bronze Axe General guarding the palace's gate, making it inaccessible for me. I had no choice but to retreat. I was planning to take some free time to invite my senior brother and master to explore it together, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Yun publicly revealed the palace's location to everyone."

Chen Ku wished to share the secret of possessing a map of the underground palace's route with his master and senior brother, not merely because he had come to trust them.

The most crucial reason is this point: if he goes alone, he cannot even enter the underground palace's gate. Even with the route map, it would be difficult to ensure no additional dangers exist within the underground palace.

With Shan Lingguan and Qin Yuxian as his bodyguards, Chen Ku could say he would have a ninety percent chance of acquiring the most valuable treasures inside the Hero King Treasure.

"Junior brother has the route map of the underground palace in his mind..." Qin Yuxian could not remain calm either.

After all, it's the Hero King Treasure.

Despite managing the Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting for so many years and having already amassed great power, capable of being called the most significant force in a prefecture, compared to its heyday, the Imperial Enlightenment Sect's magnitude seemed like comparing a small witch to a great magician.

Should they acquire the items within this particular Hero King Treasure, even if it doesn't contain the Void Sky Treasure Box, the countless wealth, weapons, and many Mechanical Copper People inside a single treasure trove would be sufficient for them to establish a sect of great standings, fully restoring the Imperial Enlightenment Sect's peak dominance.
