Chapter 2394 Wang Teng's Choice, Three Treasures! (3)
Then, he continued to search for the other two treasures, while the piece of Dragon Blood Scarlet Gold remained unfurled behind him, floating with the help of his spiritual power as he moved along.
"I never thought he would find the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold!" Hengzang Bo watched the scene on the screen, his mouth twitching involuntarily.
He felt a tinge of regret. He didn't expect the first treasure Wang Teng would find would be such a precious item. There were hardly any pieces of it in the entire treasury.
They had originally planned to keep it for forging their own weapons, but they had never found the corresponding auxiliary materials and had to leave it behind.
And now, Wang Teng had chosen it.
They had been so generous from the start, assuring Wang Teng that he could pick anything he wanted without any issues.
Just thinking about it was frustrating.
Yizang Zhao, Guizang Ling, and others exchanged glances, feeling a bit distressed. Councilor Wang Teng knew how to pick. He had chosen such valuable items in one go.
"Wang Teng is truly worthy of being a mining engineer. He is able to find a piece of Dragon Blood Crimson Gold among a pile of Crimson Gold," Yizang Xinnuo exclaimed.
"His expertise as a mining engineer must be very high," Shouzang Caiyun added, nodding in agreement.
"A mining engineer is better at finding various ores, but it's hard to say with other treasures," Guizang Yan remarked when he the two women praising Wang Teng so much.
The two ladies glanced at him, ignoring his words.
This made Guizang Yan extremely frustrated.
On the other side, Wang Teng arrived at the location of the second dazzling light cluster and came to a stop.
It was a massive shelf, filled with various treasures. Some were stored in jade boxes, their contents concealed, and the surface inscribed with runes that blocked various fluctuations, making it difficult to discern their nature.
However, Wang Teng was undeterred. His body floated gently upward until he was level with the top of the shelf. There, he found a palm-sized jade box covered in dust, looking very inconspicuous.
A gleam flashed in Wang Teng's eyes as he gently flicked his finger, causing the jade box to open with a soft creak, revealing a dark red pill inside.
A strange aroma, tinged with a hint of sweetness, wafted out from the pill.
"A divine-level pill!"
Hengzang Chuan, Yizang Bai, and the other family heads exclaimed in astonishment.
When Hengzang Bo and the others saw this scene, the muscles on their faces twitched again.
How on earth did he manage this?
He found the most precious treasures in the treasury twice. While the value of this pill might not compare to Dragon Blood Crimson Gold, it was still an extremely rare item in the treasury.
This was a divine-level pill!
There was a divine-level pill in the five major families' vault.
Wang Teng was quite surprised. After examining it closely, he recognized it. "This is the Soul-Severing Saint Soul Pill!"
"What is the Soul-Severing Saint Soul Pill?" Round Ball asked curiously. It didn't have as much knowledge about pills as Wang Teng did.
"It's a kind of pill used to unleash one's potential in a life-or-death situation," Wang Teng explained, shaking his head. "If faced with a life-threatening crisis, this pill can unleash three times the strength of an eternal-stage martial warrior."
"Three times!" Round Ball was shocked.
That was eternal-stage martial warriors. If they could unleash three times their strength, it was simply terrifying.
Truly worthy of being a divine-level pill.
"However, this kind of pill is extremely dangerous. After taking it, even an eternal-stage warrior must be prepared for death," Wang Teng warned.
"Even eternal-stage martial warriors can die?" Round Ball was suddenly stunned.
"Yes, unleashing three times the strength comes with a price. The cost is burning one's origin, and… eternal matter!" Wang Teng said in a deep voice.
"Ah!" Round Ball gasped, shaking its head. "Wang Teng, we don't need this pill. It's deadly."
"Of course not. What use is there for a pill with such significant drawbacks?" Wang Teng closed the jade box and turned away from the place, heading towards the next location.
There were many dan prescriptions in the Secondary Career Alliance that could significantly enhance strength without such severe side effects.
With Wang Teng's expertise in alchemy, it wouldn't be difficult to refine them in the future
So, he had no reason to choose such a flawed pill.
"He doesn't want it!" Hengzang Bo and the others were a little surprised.
"Elder, Wang Teng previously obtained a Seven-Star Sage Pill from within the ore and later sold it to the Secondary Career Alliance," Hengzang Chuan said. "And since he is a grandmaster alchemist himself, it's clear that his enthusiasm for pills isn't too high."
"That's true. Since he's a grandmaster alchemist, he must have seen the drawbacks of that pill. No wonder he didn't choose it," Yizang Zhao said.
"Councilor Wang Teng is truly surprising. His choices are clear-cut and decisive," Guizang Ling praised.
The other elders nodded in agreement. If before they valued Wang Teng's potential, now they were increasingly convinced of his character.
The reason they shelved the Soul-Severing Saint Soul Pill was that they didn't want to use it.
After all, once such a pill was used, it meant the demise of an eternal-stage martial warrior. Compared to the pill, the lives of eternal-stage warriors were undoubtedly more important.
Wang Teng's decision not to choose the pill showed that he wasn't an extremist.
It did not mean that he would definitely use it if he chose.
But choosing or not choosing represented an attitude, and choosing it would significantly increase the likelihood of use.
Wang Teng arrived at the third location.
