AST 2189 - White Tiger Treasure Chamber, Some Treasures

As they searched, they really found one.

Beihuang Fan was the first one to find it. She also got a treasure pagoda, but she found the Brutal Strength Fate Treasure Pagoda. It could double the heavy and clumsy strength but decrease the overall speed by 30%. The damaging prowess would increase by two times.

This treasure pagoda made Qing Shui feel weird. Reducing the speed and increasing the strength and certain damage, not many people would use that. In battle, speed was more crucial than strength. Beihuang Fan sighed and rejected it.

Qing Shui took it over, “Somebody else could use it.”

Qing Shui remembered the Hill Moving Battle God who was not fast and owned clumsy but skillful power. He seemed to use the heavy strength which was very destructive. However, he would be upset to face an agile opponent unless he could kill the opponent in one swift attack which appeared slow as he achieved a certain level.

The Hill Moving Battle God was moved as he saw this treasure pagoda. Yet, he found it hard to accept the speed reduction. He was already slow, it would be tough to further reduce the speed.

“Elder Brother Yuwen, listen to me. Your speed is not fast but you can ignore the speed reduction effect. I will help you in that regard.” Qing Shui saw Yuwen Da’s hesitation and tried to persuade him.

Listening to Qing Shui’s words, he was excited. With the speed compensated and this much of strength increment, it was definitely great. He trusted Qing Shui. As he said, since he was originally not fast and relied on his strength, then he should make his strength more domineering.

The Hill Moving Battle God utilized the treasure pagoda on the spot. He felt his body become heavier, and his strength doubled as if he could bring down a huge mountain with a single punch.

The dimensional power of the world was different from his past life. Otherwise, the strength would have destroyed the world. 

Qing Shui took out the Fruit of Agility and let the Hill Moving Battle God eat it, “I'll help to recover 20% of your speed for now, while the remaining 10% can be compensated with something else later.”

In fact, the Hill Moving Battle God did not lose his speed. The Windwhisk Willow had increased 30% of his speed, so he still gained a little bit. Now, the Fruit of Agility increased it by 20% more. Thus, in total, his strength had doubled and the speed had increased by 20%.

The Hill Moving Battle God was excited, and his face were flushed red, “Actually I can compensate that with the Windwhisk Willow, I even gained more speed now.”

Qing Shui took out the Five Elements Fruit. These fruits were enhanced by the Treasure Basin and others. Otherwise, they would not have such effects. They lost their effects a long time ago and were only effective in some weaker warriors by increasing their speed and strength permanently.

Qing Shui had never used it since ages ago. He wondered if he could still use them now; he never tried.

He took out a stack of fruits and gave ten to each of them. There were five types of fruits; thus, everyone got two of each type. The Vitality-Enhancing Fruit did not change much. Each fruit would increase the lifespan for ten years, and one could only eat two fruits at one time.

The few old men, especially for the elder of Divine Palace, extended twenty years of life. That was about half of his original lifespan. He had originally around forty years of life left, and now, he extended it for another twenty years.

The elder had mixed emotions; he did not bother about this. It did not make much difference to live another forty or sixty years. However, since the Divine Palace was indeed on a predicament now, he wished to live longer and probably contribute more.

Beihuang Fan looked at Qing Shui, feeling strange. Her total strength increased by 20%. For her, it was a great breakthrough.

Qing Shui was lucky too, he also found a Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda.

Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda!

In Qing Shui's opinion, this pagoda was definitely better. He seemed to have more luck with this Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda.

It could block the same amount of damage as the user’s attacking prowess.

This trait was too powerful for a warrior with daunting attacking power. Using the Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda could overturn the world. For instance, a warrior with 50 billion Dao Force could also ignore a 50 billion Dao Force worth of attack by using the Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda. How great was this?

Qing Shui felt he wasted a Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda since he had only the strength of 40 billion Dao Force...

Meanwhile, Beihuang Fan’s attacking power definitely exceeded 50 billion Dao Force.

Thus, Beihuang Fan stared straight at Qing Shui now. This pagoda would be an incredible Divine Weapon to her. Her strength was her Realm, attacking power, and speed. Therefore, Qing Shui handed the Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda to her.

The others did not find any pagodas but some books about training tips. However, nobody wanted to practice them except for the Diamond Battle God who took away the book of Diamond Palm. He benefited greatly from the book since the Diamond Palm was stable and powerful. Besides, it was very destructive and suited him just right.

After rummaging for a long while, they did not see anything surprising anymore. Qing Shui got some herbs, and he already gained the Diamond White Tiger King. It was the biggest reward compared to others…

“What a loss, why didn't I get anything,” Beihuang Yu sounded upset.

Beihuang Fan smiled, “Actually, I wanted to give that little pagoda to you.”

“No no, that's your present from Qing Shui. I can't take it. Qing Shui treats you so well; he didn't think of me even when I’m his brother,” Beihuang Yu laughed.

“What are you talking about?” Beihuang Fan gave Beihuang Yu a fierce glare.

“Nothing, aunt. I saw Qing Shui standing behind you and apparently wanted to take advantage of you just now. Then, I wanted to beat him, but I thought your martial skills are more incredible than mine, so I held myself back,” Beihuang Yu said seriously.

Beihuang Fan blushed instantly; she turned around and walked away, “Little bastard, I'll deal with you later. You are getting more reckless now.”

Beihuang Yu stunned, “Damn, it's a surprise that you would blush; it seems like we can no longer be brothers, Brother Shui.”

There was still time so Qing Shui decided to move forward. He could simply use the Nine Continents Steps and appear at the exit later. Like that, he could spend most of his time here for the treasure hunt.

“Qing Shui, you guys gained so much. Help me to get several treasures.” Beihuang Yu could not bother less. The pagodas would only be a collection of Qing Shui, or they could be chucked away.

Though the pagodas were pretty, there were tons of pretty things in this world. The handcrafted pagodas were more delicate and prettier than these pagodas, but they were useless. Thus, they would be thrown away. 

“All I can say was if the character you have was good, you will surely get something marvelous in return. That is why people say only fated person would get the treasure; it is referring to the person’s character,” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Pfft, my character is absolutely fine,” Beihuang Yu spurted out.

Beihuang Yu noticed Beihuang Fan’s glaring eyes after saying that. He quickly continued with a smile, “We will be closer than we are in the future, you have to take care of me, otherwise, I won't let my aunt meet you.”

“Threaten me? I like it. Alright, Fan’er. Your nephew said he won't let you see me, why would he do that?” Qing Shui giggled. Then, he yelled and asked loudly, looking confused.

“You win…” Beihuang Yu ran away hastily.
