While the disciples of the Evil Sect and Demon Sect behind him were glaring in frustration, Qin Fang had already slowly stepped into this Treasure Repository... However, he didn't feel the slightest bit happy, and even his brows were slightly furrowed.

"Is this the... Treasure Repository?"

Looking at the large stone cave transformed into a Treasure Repository before him, Qin Fang couldn't help but murmur to himself.

Qin Fang had entered several Treasure Repositories before.

For instance, the small Treasure Repository of the Yang Family, one of the Thousand Gates Five Great Families on Devil's Island, or the Treasure Repository in the Underground Palace, and so on... These were not particularly large Treasure Repositories and couldn't be compared to those of the Great Sects.

But, if we compare them, then this Treasure Repository in front of him can only be described with the word "pathetic".

"Freemasonry is an ancient force that has been passed down for thousands of years, far longer than the Great Sects of Dragon Country... Although the Taurus Temple is only one of the Twelve Holy Temples, its collection shouldn't be this small, right?"

Qin Fang really felt like swearing...

The Treasure Repository was vast in size, yet the items inside were surprisingly sparse... Of course, this is in the context of such a large Treasure Repository, which makes it pitifully small.

Of course, the most important thing is...

"Even if there's a bit less, you should at least have left some top-quality items, right? But damn it... it's all just a pile of garbage!"

This is what Qin Fang truly wanted to complain about.

Most of what's left in the repository are weapons and armor... These are all relic-level antiques that might sell for a decent price, but for Qin Fang, they're utterly meaningless.

These weapons were left by Freemasonry's masters throughout history, including weapons and armor used by Temple Envoys, armors and weapons of the Three Knight Orders, as well as some from all over the world...

But Qin Fang wasn't interested in any of these.

If he wanted, he could take out the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword right now and chop all these items into a pile of scrap metal...

"Damn it..."

Apart from these weapons and armors, Qin Fang only found a few things with barely any value... They were neither Spirit Grass nor Spiritual Medicine, and certainly not Spirit Pills, but some skin and blood of spiritual beasts.

"The cultivation systems are different, so even the items they leave behind are different!"

Seeing these items, Qin Fang shook his head helplessly and said.

Just as he said, Freemasonry cultivates divine power, so the meat of spiritual beasts might still hold a little value for them. It can be processed with some special Secret Techniques and eaten to strengthen muscles and bones.

The skins of spiritual beasts naturally have similar effects but need special tanning treatment...

The parchment used by ancient Westerners was obtained in this way. Although the spiritual beast is dead, the beast's skin still retains considerable spirituality and can last a very long time, hundreds or even thousands of years are no problem.

Some of Freemasonry's secret tomes are preserved and passed down in this manner... Even though society has progressed significantly, allowing for various ways to record and store information, Freemasonry still uses this ancient method for its most important secret texts.

Of course, if it were the skin of some large spiritual beasts, it could still be used to make soft armor, leather armor, and other protective treasures... However, usually, such spiritual beasts are powerful, and it's rare to preserve a complete skin.

The skins here are mostly from smaller spiritual beasts.

As for the spiritual beast blood, it's quite a valuable item...

Although it's not as significant as a spiritual beast's inner core, it's already considered one of the most important parts of the beast...

Even though Freemasonry people don't refine pills, they have other alchemical secret techniques. By incorporating this spiritual beast blood, they can craft special alchemy potions or use it for other purposes...

In short, from the perspective of Freemasonry, only these few things from a spiritual beast are worth their attention... The inner cores, which contain more than half of a spiritual beast's power, are usually exchanged with experts from Dragon Country.

Therefore, in this repository, Qin Fang saw well-preserved skins and blood of spiritual beasts, but not a single inner core.

These items, although more valuable than the previous weapons and armor, are still quite limited... Not to mention, these spiritual beast skins aren't very large, and since Qin Fang already possesses several formidable spiritual beast skins, he's not interested in them either.

In the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, Qin Fang managed to gather quite a fortune, to the extent that he barely even glanced at ordinary spirit beast inner cores, let alone their hides.

As for the spirit beast blood, Qin Fang did not let it go to waste. Freemasonry could use it to concoct alchemical potions, and when Qin Fang crafted elixirs and medicines, adding some spirit beast blood not only increased the pill formation rate but also enhanced mutation rate.

This is why Dragon Country experts, after defeating a spirit beast, usually dissect the beast and take all valuable components—hides, blood, bones, inner cores, and so on—without leaving anything behind, due to their varied uses.

Qin Fang had many elixirs in hand, yet there were many more he lacked...

Especially the Blood Replenishing Pills. As he encountered increasingly powerful experts, a single pill providing 20 Life Points had become somewhat insufficient. Despite Qin Fang's formidable defense being able to withstand most attacks from peers of the same level, once his defense was broken, each strike could reduce a significant portion of his Life Points.

Thus, Qin Fang planned to enhance the quality of the Blood Replenishing Pills...

These pills were merely ordinary low-level elixirs, and there were numerous ways to improve their quality. The simplest, most practical, and convenient method was to add some special materials—such as spirit beast blood and inner cores.

Qin Fang had plenty of spirit beast inner cores, but to use them in medicine crafting, they needed to be specially processed to remove impurities before being added to the Blood Replenishing Pills.

In contrast, spirit beast blood was much purer...

Especially this batch of spirit beast blood, which the Freemasonry had already processed using special techniques; it could be directly used for medicine crafting.

Having collected these items, Qin Fang continued to search through the Treasure Repository...

In such a large treasury, there should be some special and secret Dark Chamber... Maybe the real treasures are hidden in there.

"Huh..."

However, when Qin Fang couldn't find the so-called Dark Chamber and felt disappointed, he suddenly froze in surprise... His eyes immediately fell on a pile of armored weapons within the Treasure Repository.

Almost without hesitation, Qin Fang stepped in front of the pile of armored weapons and reached out to give it a nudge...

With a noisy clatter, he saw a black box appear before him.

The box was small but extremely heavy...

The material used was exceptionally rare Mysterious Iron!

"This box..."

Seeing the box, Qin Fang was somewhat puzzled, subtly sensing the extraordinary nature of this box... At the very least, using such an amount of Mysterious Iron to craft a box wasn't something an ordinary person could accomplish.

It's essential to know that Mysterious Iron is a type of meteoric iron. Compared to some extremely special and rare meteoric irons, Mysterious Iron is relatively abundant on Earth...

But this abundance is only relative to other meteoric irons; in reality, there are only about thirty pieces at most!

Among them, some are large, possibly as big as a human body, but the small ones are no bigger than a human fist. Still, Mysterious Iron is remarkably heavy, and even a small piece can weigh several tons.

The box before Qin Fang was roughly thirty centimeters square. He experimented a bit, and the weight should be over a ton. It's a hollow box with walls that likely aren't very thick, yet it's hefty enough to show its heaviness.

"Mechanism lock?"

Qin Fang researched this Mysterious Iron box closely, finding that every face was seamless, lacking normal lock holes—until he tested and discovered that the box was designed with a mechanism lock.

This indicates that the box likely originated from Dragon Country.

If it were merely a Mysterious Iron box, perhaps special techniques would be needed to craft it. Top Dragon Country forgers could do it, and some foreign forces have similar capabilities, which wouldn't be surprising.

However, this box was equipped with a very complex mechanism lock... This sufficiently illustrates the box's origins—it definitely came from an adept of the Thousand Gate.

"Six Paths Samsara..."

As a Great Grandmaster Level Cheating Expert, Qin Fang might not claim he is invincible in thousand skills on Earth, but he's certainly among the top individuals. After closely studying the mechanism lock, he frowned and muttered.

To be honest, seeing this box, he realized the box probably hadn't been opened by anyone...

This further proved the box's mechanism lock was formidable. However, Qin Fang was confident in his thousand skills proficiency and felt the lock shouldn't prove insurmountable.

Yet after examining the lock's arrangement thoroughly, he couldn't help but gasp. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
