Chapter 549: Chapter 235: Law Item, Time-Suppressing Fragment

At the end of the corridor was a colossal alloy door, more than ten meters thick.

Two powerful experts stood on either side of the great door. Their auras were as profound and immovable as mountains, and their silent presence alone subjected Lin Ye to an intense pressure.

’Divine Realm Perfection!’

’Experts on the cusp of the Celestial Human Realm are acting as mere guards here!’

Zhu Mingyi led Lin Ye forward, and the four Divine Realm experts saluted simultaneously.

One of them stepped forward, took out a device, and performed multiple scans on them, including their irises and spiritual fluctuations.

"Identities confirmed."

"Chief, please enter today’s passcode."

Zhu Mingyi stepped forward and typed a long, complex string of characters onto a virtual screen.

RUMBLE—

With a deep mechanical groan, the colossal door slowly slid open.

Behind the door lay an even more expansive space.

This, here, was the true Special-Level Resource Library.

Rows of shelves forged from an unknown metal rose so high their tops were out of sight, stretching on endlessly like a steel forest constructed from priceless treasures.

Countless rare and wondrous treasures were displayed silently on the shelves.

There were strange plants sealed in crystal, pulsing with vibrant life.

There was living tissue submerged in a special fluid, still twitching faintly.

There were unknown minerals floating in mid-air, wreathed in halos of light, and an array of weapons set in pedestals, exuding an ancient aura...

It was a dazzling, overwhelming collection, bathed in a radiant, misty glow.

Any single item here, if taken outside, would be enough to cause a bloodbath.

This could no longer be called a resource library.

This was clearly the national martial treasury of Great Xia!

Following behind Zhu Mingyi, Lin Ye was also utterly awestruck by the sight before him.

"The entire resource library holds over a hundred thousand items."

Zhu Mingyi’s voice, tinged with a smile, sounded beside him. "Cultivation Techniques, Observation Skills, Spiritual Objects, weapons... you can choose any one item you wish."

"However, I won’t be telling you which items are good or bad, what their grades are, or whether they’re one-of-a-kind treasures."

Although he said that, Zhu Mingyi’s true intention was to tease Lin Ye and see what kind of eye the history-making young man possessed.

In fact, he had already assembled a dedicated team to compile a list of treasures best suited for Lin Ye based on his profile.

If Lin Ye’s judgment proved poor and he chose a reward that wouldn’t be of much use to him, Zhu Mingyi was prepared to offer his own recommendations.

Lin Ye nodded, not paying it much mind.

However, the moment he truly stepped into the treasury and his gaze swept across the first shelf, he froze.

In his vision, strings of faint golden numbers had appeared above the dazzling array of treasures.

[8.7]

[11.3]

[9.5]

...

The numbers varied, but without exception, none were lower than 8.0.

Lin Ye understood instantly.

’This is... convertible evolution points!’

’After unlocking the mechanism advancement feature, the system also came with the ability to appraise the value of items!’

The value of anything the system determined could be converted into evolution points was beyond question.

And the higher the number, the higher the item’s quality and rarity!

Lin Ye, who had been at a loss for where to begin, suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

’Forget whether these things are suitable for me or not. If I just follow the evolution point values, I can’t go wrong!’

His gaze began to sweep rapidly across the shelves. Soon, he stopped in front of a seemingly unremarkable black stone.

The stone was about the size of a fist. Its surface was pitted and rough, and it gave off no energy fluctuations, looking just like an ordinary lump of coal.

But in Lin Ye’s vision, a clear number floated above it.

[23.1]

Lin Ye reached out and picked up the grimy-looking black stone.

Seeing his action, a flash of surprise crossed Zhu Mingyi’s face.

’This kid... Is his luck really that good?’

’A blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse?’

While he wasn’t intimately familiar with all one hundred thousand items in the library, he did know about the particularly valuable ones.

The stone in Lin Ye’s hand was a Soul-Stabilizing Stone, a wondrous object born from the very core of the Celestial Abyss Fourth World. It had a powerful suppressive and nourishing effect on the soul.

Its value was high enough to place it in the top one hundred items on this first floor of the resource library.

However, Lin Ye merely hefted it in his hand for a moment before putting it back.

He continued onward, his gaze roaming across the shelves.

Soon, he picked up a withered yellow leaf sealed within a jade box.

[26.8]

Zhu Mingyi raised an eyebrow.

’A Bodhi Leaf. Rumor has it that it fell from the Bodhi tree beneath which a Buddhist cultivator achieved nirvana. Wearing it is said to keep the mind perpetually clear and greatly enhance one’s comprehension.’

’This kid’s eye for treasure is uncanny.’

But Lin Ye only glanced at it before losing interest and casually putting it back.

After seeing these numbers, his standards had unconsciously risen.

An item worth a mere twenty-odd evolution points was no longer enough to catch his eye.

He quickened his pace, no longer stopping to pick up items. Instead, he wove through the rows of shelves, his gaze like a scanner, rapidly sweeping over thousands of treasures.

As he ventured deeper, the numbers displayed on the items on the shelves began to climb higher as well.

Finally, his gaze was drawn to a charred bone fragment shrouded in a special force field.

[35.2]

Lin Ye reached out and took it from the force field.

Seeing this, the corner of Zhu Mingyi’s eye couldn’t help but twitch.

That was the phalanx of an Abyssal Flame Demon at the Peak of the Celestial Human Realm. It contained a fragment of the demon’s most fundamental Flame Law.
