Chapter 261 The Mysterious Sword Embryo
Almost the instant Chen Yuangang reached the entrance of the side hall, the figure of Lord Youhou also appeared in front of the palace gate.
"Senior brother."
Chen Yuan greeted him.
"Junior Brother." Lord Youhou nodded with a smile, "You are quite patient. Faced with the temptation of two supreme treasures, you actually waited five years before coming."
"Two priceless treasures?"
Chen Yuan was slightly surprised.
"Don't you still have 5000 Treasure Points? At the current exchange rate, those Treasure Points can be exchanged for 1.5 Supreme Treasure Points."
"With these 1.5 Arcana Points, you can redeem your second Arcana item."
As he spoke, Lord Youhou shook his head slightly and sighed, "Pfft, a Realm Lord can possess two supreme treasures, one of which is not limited to any particular type. If this gets out, I bet many Venerables will be envious."
Faced with Senior Brother Youhou's exclamation, Chen Yuan could only laugh awkwardly. He couldn't very well say that he actually carried five supreme treasures and a top-quality flying palace.
It should be noted that flying palaces are among the most precious items. Even a flying palace of the level of a minor treasure is more valuable than many supreme treasures, let alone a supreme treasure. The reason why the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf of the demon race is so famous is because he has a supreme treasure flying palace called the "Heavenly Wolf Palace". With the help of this supreme treasure, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf was even able to escape from the Blood Sea of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.
Even the Heavenly Wolf Palace is only a high-grade treasure; the Primordial Origin Palace is a level higher.
In terms of true value, the Shiyuan Palace is at least equivalent to two supreme treasures, even surpassing the wealth of Lord Youhou.
Over the years, Chen Yuan has also learned that although Senior Brother Youhou is a powerful universe lord, he only possesses one supreme treasure, the famous "Youhou Thorn".
Besides that, Senior Brother Youhou didn't have a second top-tier treasure; the armor he wore was only a top-tier treasure.
Therefore, Chen Yuan could not continue the topic and could only say, "We'll see when the time comes. I haven't decided what to exchange it for yet."
"That makes sense. Junior Brother, you'd better choose carefully later."
Lord Youhou's expression was meaningful: "Alright, junior brother, step forward. This gate will open automatically after verifying your identity."
"By the way, you should have applied for the virtual universe beforehand, right?"
Entering the clan's treasure vault requires prior application, which Chen Yuan was well aware of, and nodded, saying, "I've already applied."
After saying that, he stepped forward and stood in front of the gate of the ancient side hall.
"Boom!"
The heavy bronze gate slowly opened, and Lord Youhou took the lead in entering the hall, followed by Chen Yuan, who stepped through the gate.
With another loud bang, the door behind them closed again after the two had entered the hall.
"Junior brother, over here."
Lord Youhou stood beside the giant stone slab in the center of the hall and beckoned. Chen Yuan flashed to his side.
As Chen Yuan approached, a huge virtual screen appeared above the stone disc, displaying the categories of treasures available for exchange. There were four categories: Supreme Treasures, Valuable Treasures, Materials, and Special Resources.
In the bottom right corner of the screen, there were two lines of small text.
[Heavy treasure points: 5000]
Current exchange rate: 1 Treasure Point = 3288 Heavy Treasure Points
Since Treasure Points can only be accurate to one decimal place, Chen Yuan's balance can only be exchanged for 1.5 Treasure Points, leaving 68 Heavy Treasure Points.
However, he did not intend to exchange for treasure points immediately. Instead, he said to Lord Youhou, "I would like to trouble you, senior brother. I would like to take a look at all the ordinary treasures first."
"no problem."
Lord Youhou nodded in agreement, reached out and clicked on the virtual screen, opening the list of Treasures - Common Treasures.
Instantly, all the treasures of the "common" grade appeared on the screen. Chen Yuan looked up and saw a total of 16481 items.
This number is in line with his expectations. After all, this is only the number of treasures that the race has preserved. If the treasures in the hands of the Universe Venerable are included, the number will definitely be more than this.
"Junior Brother, do you have a treasure you desire?"
"I asked the Marquis You."
Chen Yuan shook his head: "I still need to see the actual product. Thank you for your help, Senior Brother."
"It's alright."
Marquis You said with a relaxed expression, "Then I'll show you from the beginning."
With a light tap of his finger, the details of the top treasure on the list immediately unfolded, and at the same time, the giant stone disc in front of him opened, and the treasure that was exactly the same as the one on the screen slowly rose up.
"By the way, junior brother, you can observe closely, but please don't touch it, otherwise the system will identify you as a selected target."
Seeing Chen Yuan approach to examine the scene, Youhou gave him a timely reminder.
"I understand." Chen Yuan nodded and stopped about a meter away from the longsword-like treasure. He silently instructed the system to start collecting information about the treasure.
I glanced at the data collection progress; it should take about ten minutes to complete.
In other words, it would take more than a hundred days to collect information on all the common treasures in the vault.
Of course, it actually doesn't take that long, because as the number of treasures collected increases, the data duplication rate will become higher and higher, and the collection speed will become faster and faster. Ten minutes later, the data collection was completed, and Chen Yuan said, "That's enough. Please show me the next item, Senior Brother."
"it is good."
Youhou nodded, put the long sword treasure back into the stone plate, and then brought up the second treasure in the list.
This is a wind-attribute domain-type treasure. Youhou thought his junior brother would study it carefully, but unexpectedly, only a few minutes later...
The other party shook their head, indicating that they should continue.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The ease that had been on Youhou's face was gone; his eyes were numb as he showed Chen Yuan one precious treasure after another.
He was filled with confusion. His junior brother had already examined more than six thousand treasures, but he still didn't seem satisfied. Judging from his posture, it seemed that he intended to examine all of the more than ten thousand treasures.
It should be noted that when asked about his junior brother's request, Youhou initially thought that the other party would at most select some precious treasures from the list for comparison.
Rare treasures like those of the Realm type, Soul type, and Flying Palace type are only a few dozen in the entire treasury, and even if you look at them one by one, it won't take much time.
But he never expected that his junior brother had come for all the treasures.
"Junior Brother's actions don't seem like he's selecting a treasure; it's more like he's observing?"
Youhou stared at Chen Yuan's figure, a thought suddenly flashing through his mind: "Could it be that Junior Brother's true purpose is to observe the information of all the treasures in order to prepare for the subsequent treasure refining?"
"That makes sense. Junior Brother is most likely learning the art of treasure refining from the Mountain-Sitting Guest. So researching various kinds of treasures must be homework assigned by the Mountain-Sitting Guest."
Upon realizing this, Marquis You suddenly understood and thought he had guessed Chen Yuan's intention.
However, although the process was completely wrong, the result was correct by sheer chance: Chen Yuan's goal this time was indeed to collect information about these treasures.
"In that case, let junior brother take his time reading it. It won't take long even if he reads it all."
For the Lord of the Universe, a few months pass in the blink of an eye and are nothing at all.
Previously, Marquis You was only puzzled by Chen Yuan's purpose, but now that he understood, he naturally chose to cooperate fully.
Time continued to pass, and as more than half of the treasures observed were discovered, the system's data collection speed increased rapidly.
Two months later, Chen Yuan finally finished looking at all 16480 treasures, with only one last target remaining.
As this last treasure emerged from the stone disc, Chen Yuan was stunned, because the treasure's appearance was too rudimentary, like a half-forged blank.
The details read: Nameless Sword Embryo, an unfinished treasure. Although its quality is ordinary, it may become a top-tier treasure if reforged by a powerful treasure refiner.
"An unnamed sword embryo?"
Chen Yuan curiously examined the unremarkable sword blank and mentally ordered, "System, collect data."
After giving the system instructions, he habitually glanced at the progress bar on the panel, then suddenly stopped.
[Data collection in progress, current time remaining: ∞]
"Wait, does this remaining time mean—infinite?"
Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly widened. This meant that even with the system's current computing power, it would be impossible to fully analyze all the information of this sword embryo, even if the universe were destroyed!
This situation indicates that the material of this sword blank is of extremely high grade, and it is very likely not a product of the original universe.
"Such a supreme essence, could it originate from the cosmic sea—wait, sword embryo—. Half-finished product—"
Chen Yuan was taken aback again, a bold guess flashing through his mind: "If this sword embryo was obtained from the Cosmic Sea, then it most likely came from the Origin Continent. In other words, the essence of this sword embryo is actually..."
"Embryo!"
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath: "If it really is a primordial embryo, then I'm rich!"
If this sword embryo is truly a primordial embryo, then it is an unparalleled treasure capable of growing all the way to the God-King level, and its value is immeasurable!
In the original novel, Luo Feng possessed a Yuan Embryo Longsword, which he obtained from Duan Donghe's treasure vault.
Chen Yuan is still unsure whether this sword embryo is a true primordial embryo, but his intuition tells him that he will definitely regret missing this opportunity in the future.
Just then, Marquis You noticed Chen Yuan's unusual expression and asked with concern, "Junior Brother, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing Youhou's question, Chen Yuan snapped out of his reverie and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother, I'm fine."
"Oh, I saw you suddenly space out, I thought something had happened."
Marquis You smiled. "How's it going, Junior Brother? Have you looked at all these treasures? Is there anything you like?"
"Yes, some senior brothers."
Chen Yuan nodded immediately, his eyes fixed intently on the sword embryo before him. He reached out and grasped it, refining it in an instant.
"I'll choose this one!"
