Chen Yang gave Han Li and Gu Qianxun a look before turning around and walking towards the door.
Han Li and Gu Qianxun looked at each other and followed suit.
The space within the secret vault was not small and could be compared to a palace. There were seven to eight tall counters that were made of a type of black wood.
This wood did not look like an ordinary material as it emitted a refreshing fragrance that filled the entire secret vault.
Every counter was divided into three levels. On each level, there were many boxes, wooden boxes, and other items. Inside the boxes were all kinds of precious materials, cultivation techniques, beast cores, and so on.
Han Li did not bother about the counters and looked straight at the center of the secret vault.
There was an empty space where a black stone pillar that was as tall as a human was erected. On the stone pillar, there were many earthworm-like patterns carved on it.
On top of the stone pillar, there was a black crystal the size of a human's head.
This crystal was as smooth as a mirror and it emitted a bright black radiance that rippled outwards like black water. Within the black radiance, one could faintly sense a strange energy wave.
Han Li only felt that the moment he stepped into the secret vault, the Black Tribulation Bugs in his body came into contact with this strange energy and immediately stopped moving as they fell into a deeper slumber.
"Black Tribulation Stone!"
Han Li's heart skipped a beat but he glanced at Chen Yang and did not immediately reach out to retrieve it.
Gu Qianxun also looked at the black crystal and her originally cold eyes could not help but flash with a hint of surprise.
"Daoist Li also knows about the Black Tribulation Stone?
However, this item can only suppress the Black Tribulation Bugs and cannot expel them. Let's quickly look around and see if we can find a way to retrieve them.
Also, please forgive us, but the situation outside is constantly changing, so we can't stay here for too long. We can only stay here for an hour at most. "Chen Yang seemed to have seen through Han Li's thoughts, and he said this in a calm manner.
Gu Qianxun nodded her head noncommittally as she walked to a counter and started rummaging through it.
When Han Li heard this, he withdrew his gaze and began to look around.
Demonic Qi and celestial spiritual energy could not be used within the Jilin Space Realm. Even though this was a secret vault, there were basically no restrictions or anything like that.
The three of them made rapid progress in their search, and soon, they had searched through the entire secret vault.
After the time it took for an incense to burn, Han Li put down a book with an ugly expression and looked at Gu Qianxun.
Gu Qianxun looked over as well with a solemn expression.
The two of them were worried about Chen Yang, so they tacitly agreed to take on the task of searching for all the books and asked Chen Yang to search for other items.
However, the two of them looked through all the ancient records, but they couldn't even find the words' Black Tribulation Insect '.
"I've found some useful information here. The two of you can come and take a look." Right at that moment, Chen Yang's voice was heard.
When Han Li and Gu Qianxun heard this, they quickly walked over.
Chen Yang was currently standing in front of a counter in a corner. On top of the counter was a foot-long black crystal box. Through the translucent walls of the box, one could clearly see black centipede-like insects crawling inside. They were the Black Tribulation Insects.
In his hand was a black jade board. From the looks of it, it seemed to be a part of the crystal box. On top of it, there were rows of densely packed words.
Chen Yang passed the black jade board to the two of them. Han Li and Gu Qianxun quickly read through it.
Not long later, the two of them had a gloomy expression.
On the jade board was the method of breeding the Black Tribulation Insects. From the moment they were born to how they were raised and how to implant them into a human body, everything was recorded in great detail. The only thing that was not written was how to take them out.
However, the jade board did mention the Black Tribulation Stone. The Black Tribulation Insects were a colony species, and every colony had a Black Tribulation Insect King that commanded the rest.
The Black Tribulation Stone was a special crystal formed from the corpse of the Black Tribulation Insect King using a secret technique. That was why it had the effect of suppressing the Black Tribulation Insects.
To suppress a Black Tribulation Insect, one only needed to carry a fingernail-sized Black Tribulation Stone on them.
"These two Black Tribulation Stones, please keep them well. Wear them on your body to suppress the Black Tribulation Insects."
As the two of them were reading the jade board, Chen Yang walked to the side of the Black Tribulation Stone. He chopped off two egg-sized black crystals and passed them to Han Li and Gu Qianxun.
"According to what's written here, there doesn't seem to be a need for such a big piece," Han Li said.
"Even though the top said so, it's always safer to have more." Chen Yang laughed.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to thank Chen Yang." Han Li did not stand on ceremony. He thanked Chen Yang and kept the Black Tribulation Stone.
Gu Qianxun kept the Black Tribulation Stone as well. However, her gaze was still on the black jade box.
"Could it be that Gu Qianxun wants to obtain some Black Tribulation Insects?
Please feel free to use them. However, you must use a special container to store them. "Chen Yang saw Gu Qianxun's gaze and said.
"Without a big piece of Black Tribulation Stone, these Black Tribulation Insects are useless. Look here." Gu Qianxun shook her head and pointed to the side of the black crystal box.
Coincidentally, it was a blind spot for Han Li's vision. Han Li walked to Gu Qianxun's side and saw what she was pointing at.
There was a six-petal flower pattern carved on the crystal box. It was rather exquisite and seemed to be some kind of symbol.
The pattern was carved very lightly and would be hard to notice if one did not look carefully.
"Gu Qianxun recognizes this pattern?" Han Li's eyes narrowed as he asked.
For this pattern to be carved on the black crystal box, it shouldn't be without purpose.
"Before I came to Qingyang City, I once saw this pattern in Xuan City. It's the unique symbol of a Sword Forging Master, Madame Liu Hua." Gu Qianxun said slowly.
"Madame Liu Hua?
It sounds like a woman. It's rare to see a female Sword Forging Master. "Han Li rubbed his chin and said.
"I've heard of Madame Liu Hua before. He is not a woman. In the Holy Region, there is a tribe called the Baiyi Tribe. They are proficient in the art of forging swords and weapons. Every generation, the person with the highest level of weapon forging will be given the title 'Madame'. Senior Liu Hua is the current Madame of the Baiyi Tribe. A million years ago, he was thrown into the Scale Spatial Realm by the Yeyang Dynasty and has been living in the main city of Xuan City.
Each of the weapons he has refined is of high quality, and it's hard to buy them with money. In the past, Du Qingyang wanted to ask him for a suitable weapon, but he didn't succeed, "Chen Yang shook his head and said.
"I see. But why would Madame Liu Hua's symbol appear on this box?" Han Li heard this and said doubtfully.
"It seems like this box was made by Madame Liu Hua. Or does he have some relationship with these Black Tribulation Insects?" Gu Qianxun frowned and muttered.
"There is still one more thing left in the treasury. Let's finish searching first." Chen Yang suddenly interrupted.
Han Li raised his head and looked in front of him. There was one last cabinet that had yet to be searched. It was filled with all kinds of materials and miscellaneous items.
Although the chances were slim, the three of them still worked together and carefully searched the last cabinet.
Han Li picked up a glowing purple crystal stone and carefully probed it with his divine sense. Not finding anything hidden inside, he put it down and picked up another item beside it.
"Eh?" Han Li's expression changed slightly.
It was a black relief the size of a palm. It was carved with a three-headed and six-armed demon god sitting in a strange posture.
He had seen this thing before. Back then, there was also a similar black relief in Dao Master Shen Gu's storage device.
The two relief sculptures were exactly the same in terms of size and material. The only difference was the postures of the two Demonic God statues.
"Could these two sculptures be related in some way?"
Han Li guessed in his heart. He looked at Chen Yang and Gu Qianxun, but the two of them were looking at other things and did not pay attention to him.
His glabella flashed and a crystal light shot out into the relief sculpture.
The black relief sculpture trembled slightly. Then, as if it had come to life, it moved its limbs and posed in all kinds of postures. There was a total of 12 different postures. Behind the relief sculpture, many indecipherable words appeared.
However, the 12 postures of this relief sculpture were completely different from Dao Master Shen Gu's relief sculpture. Although Han Li did not recognize these strange words, he could tell that they were different from the previous ones.
A trace of joy flashed in Han Li's eyes. This relief sculpture was indeed related to Dao Master Shen Gu's relief sculpture. They seemed to be a set.
He casually flipped the black relief sculpture twice, and quickly put it back in the distance as if nothing had happened.
The three of them quickly searched through all the items on the counter. As expected, there wasn't anything valuable to be found.
The only valuable information they found in this secret vault was the black jade board. The three of them then gathered around the black jade box.
"No matter what, this is still a clue." Han Li looked at the six flower symbol on the jade box and said thoughtfully.
Gu Qianxun did not say anything and only looked at Chen Yang.
"I am sorry that I could not help you find the method to remove the Black Tribulation Worm.
However, after I clean up the remnants of Du Qingyang's gang, I will definitely send more people to continue the investigation. I will give the two of you a satisfactory answer. "Chen Yang revealed an ashamed expression.
"A satisfactory answer?
Fellow Daoist Chen Yang, do you mean that you can find the method to remove the Black Tribulation Worm?
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he asked in an indifferent manner.
"Only Du Qingyang knows the method to remove the Black Tribulation Worm. Now that he is dead, I will try my best to continue the search in the City Lord's Mansion and other places. At the same time, I will try to get some information from Xuan City. I should be able to find it." Chen Yang hurriedly said.
"Should be able to find it?
Fellow Daoist Chen, you can save your perfunctory words. Regarding the Black Tribulation Worm, please give us a clear explanation. "Gu Qianxun said coldly.
"It seems like the two of you have already joined forces and do not intend to continue working with me?" Chen Yang looked at Han Li and Gu Qianxun and his eyes flashed coldly and his tone turned cold.
A white light flashed on his left arm and a layer of crystal white faintly appeared on his skin. An incomparably powerful aura suddenly erupted and fiercely pressed down on the two of them.
This aura was extremely powerful and was not inferior to Du Qingyang's. Furthermore, it was incomparably sharp and the surrounding void seemed to be sliced by countless incomparably sharp energies, causing it to buzz and tremble.
Han Li and Gu Qianxun felt as though their bodies were being pressed down by a huge mountain. However, their expressions did not change and they immediately released their own auras. Combining their auras together, they were actually able to resist Chen Yang's pressure.
The three powerful auras intertwined with each other, causing faint sparks to appear in the void and the entire secret vault to shake lightly.
