Hate! Hate! Hate!
Three 'hate' characters were engraved on the mirror's surface. Lu Xin could feel the emotions conveyed within them, especially since the last stroke of the third 'hate' character was drawn out very long, leaving a deep scratch on the edge of the bronze mirror.
He seemed to hear the kind of unsettling sound produced when fingernails scratch a blackboard.
He instantly shuddered.
"So much hate, was she abandoned by someone?" Lu Xin glanced at the room's decorations again, which indeed indicated that a woman had lived in this room before.
Without overthinking it, he put away the bronze mirror and went to the canopied bed. The bed wasn't covered with bedding or anything like that, only a smooth piece of jade.
It clearly reflected a person's image and also emitted a faint cyan glow.
It seemed extraordinary.
Lu Xin didn't examine it too closely but turned his gaze to the items neatly placed on the bed.
One was a palm-sized cart with two wheels and a single seat, covered with a canopy, and in front of it was tied a flying bird with red feathers, golden feet, and a crest shaped like three flowers.
"What is this bird, a Vermilion Bird? A phoenix?" Lu Xin picked up the exquisitely crafted cart and examined it carefully.
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like a decorative item, yet it was placed neatly on a bed, clearly done intentionally by someone.
It was likely not simple.
So he tried to probe it with his divine sense. Soon, a piece of information entered his mind.
"Heavenly Fragrance Carriage, this is actually a Primordial-grade spiritual treasure!"
After checking the information, Lu Xin was instantly excited. He thought he was impressive enough with a Netherworld Ghost Seal that reached the Acquired supreme treasure level, but he didn't expect to obtain another Primordial spiritual treasure now.
Suppressing his excitement, he understood that now was not the time to refine it. After putting it away, he turned his gaze to the other two items.
Being placed together with a Primordial spiritual treasure, they were definitely not weak.
The second item was a pitch-black bead, which looked somewhat familiar, quite similar to the black bead from which he obtained the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique'.
"Could this be another inheritance Dharma bead?"
Lu Xin had already investigated what the bead from which he obtained the 'Golden Body Technique' was. Now that he saw a similar one, he might obtain another powerful cultivation technique.
He quickly picked it up and carefully probed it with his divine sense.
Unexpectedly, compared to the inheritance Dharma bead that contained the Golden Body Technique, this bead had no resistance at all. As soon as his divine sense entered, it entered a space.
At the same time, a piece of information entered his mind. After reading it, he immediately understood what this was.
And he was also somewhat overjoyed.
Simply put, this item was also a Primordial-grade spiritual treasure, and it was also a storage treasure.
It was extremely special, but not because its space was huge, but because it was a soul artifact that could be stored inside the nascent soul.
This was something that many大佬who reached the Golden Immortal realm possessed.
He had already asked Lu Leiyun what exactly the immortality of the Golden Immortal realm meant.
The answer he got was that cultivators who reached the Golden Immortal realm had undergone the Three Tribulations and Two Declines and had already broken away from the limitations of the physical body.
In other words, the physical body of a Golden Immortal was no longer a physical body but more like a form of energy attached to the nascent soul.
As long as the nascent soul was not annihilated, it could be reassembled.
Of course, there were also limitations. Every time it was shattered, its strength would decline.
This included not only the decline in cultivation but also the loss of treasures, which was what he had been worried about.
Therefore, storage treasures that could be stored in the nascent soul and be compatible with it were born.
Clearly, the Profound Soul Bead was of this type, so how could he not be pleasantly surprised?
Coincidentally, he had a higher-level Undying Body, with an imperishable will and an indestructible true spirit, which meant that even the nascent soul could not be annihilated.
With this bead, he would not be afraid of losing his treasures if he was shattered by someone.
Without rushing to refine it, he didn't know when the people outside would come in, so he just casually glanced at the things inside the Profound Soul Bead.
He found that there were only ten large boxes inside.
He opened them all, and they were all spirit crystals. Five of the boxes contained low-grade spirit crystals, and each box contained a large number of them, because the boxes looked small on the outside, but the space inside was very large.
Moreover, each box was engraved with a number, each box containing a million crystals.
In other words, there were a total of five million low-grade spirit crystals here. Suppressing his excitement, he then looked at the remaining five boxes, four of which contained medium-grade spirit crystals, a total of four million crystals.
The last box contained high-grade spirit crystals, a total of one million crystals.
"Jackpot! Jackpot!"
After finishing the count, Lu Xin felt as if every cell in his body was immersed in joy. This was simply a windfall.
Now he could be sure that he had mostly found the treasure left behind by this barbarian tribe. After putting away the Profound Soul Bead, he swallowed his saliva and looked at the last item.
… …
Outside, in front of the restrictions, the seven people had not yet started any conflict.
"Damn it, this damned restriction, does it really require Celestial Immortals and True Immortals to break it open?"
The burly man punched the restriction, but it didn't even create a ripple. Instead, he was sent flying back.
The other people kept circling around the palace. After circling around again, the seven people gathered together.
Song Shu said, "This restriction is perfectly round and flawless, and we can't find a breakthrough point."
Shi Yu'er also said, "The only intact statue also doesn't show any clues."
"Let me try!"
The burly man had lost his patience. He came to the statue and punched it.
The others didn't stop him. Now that things had come to this, they could only let him try. Anyway, if there were any consequences, they wouldn't affect them first.
At least, the Cold-Faced Immortal and the others thought so.
"Bang!"
Soon, the burly man's fist landed, making a dull sound. Unexpectedly, the statue, which seemed to have been eroded beyond repair, didn't even crack.
"Hmph, there really is something fishy!"
The burly man became energetic and punched again and again. Finally, after the third punch, a jade-like brilliance appeared on the surface of the statue.
"Be careful!"
Seeing this, everyone quickly became vigilant, and Song Shu reminded him. The burly man was more courageous and careful than he appeared, and he had retreated before the abnormality appeared.
"Whirr, whirr, whirr!"
The light became brighter and brighter, and everyone stared at it, not blinking their eyes.
Soon, a vast voice, as if from ancient times, came from within, "How many years has it been? As I am about to dissipate, I have finally waited for a destined person."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. It seemed that the key to entering the restriction was indeed here!
"May I ask who you are, senior?" The Cold-Faced Immortal cupped his hands towards the statue.
"Name? I have long forgotten it. I only vaguely remember that many children used to call me the Barbarian God." His voice was old and weak, as if he would die in the next second.
"Barbarian God?"
Everyone instantly understood that this should be a barbarian tribe senior who followed the path of the gods, but the barbarian tribe here had already been destroyed, and there was no incense. They didn't know why this Barbarian God still existed.
"Senior, you just said there was a destined person. May I ask what our fate is?" Madam Ba Qing couldn't help but ask.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the statue, obviously concerned about this question.
The brilliance on the statue converged, and the face, which was originally fierce and evil, suddenly turned into a kind-looking old man.
"It seems you all want to know." He glanced at everyone, not answering directly, but asking, "Who just awakened me?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be questioning them, the burly man stepped forward, "Answering senior, it was me."
The Barbarian God turned his gaze to him, "Very good, my true spirit was about to dissipate, so I had to sleep to delay time. You were able to awaken me, which is a great merit."
The burly man's face showed joy upon hearing this.
The Cold-Faced Immortal and the other two frowned.
The Barbarian God continued, "As a reward, I can… Not good!"
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed as he turned to look at the palace inside the restriction, "Someone has already gone in!"
"What?!"
Everyone's expression also changed greatly.
"It's that mysterious person who attacked me!" Bai Meitou Tuo instantly understood that the other party had made him expose himself in order to use him to attract attention.
"Damn it!" Having understood, he clenched his fists tightly.
"Senior, there's no time to lose. Quickly let us in and catch that little thief!" The Cold-Faced Immortal quickly said.
