During the short break between classes, Liu Chen skillfully used his agility to secretly take the red iron treasure box from Gu Yue Moyan and Gu Yue Chishan. Of course, the silver treasure box on Gu Yue Qingshu also did not escape his grasp. After doing all this, Liu Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart and contentedly continued to wait for class to end.
Finally, the day's lessons ended, and time quietly arrived in the afternoon. The Gu Master apprentices packed their things and left the School one after another. Liu Chen was no exception; he slowly got up and walked out of the School with the crowd.
After leaving the School, Liu Chen did not rush home like the other apprentices, but instead began to wander aimlessly in the Mountain Village. His heart was full of anticipation, because he knew that with his special ability to discover treasure boxes, he might find even more in this Mountain Village.
As expected, in the following afternoon, Liu Chen traversed every corner of the Mountain Village and actually discovered five bronze treasure boxes from several Gu Masters! This made him extremely excited, and at the same time, he became more convinced that his decision was correct. The only ones left were the treasure boxes on the various Elders and Clan Chief Gu Yue Bo, which he had not yet obtained.
Of course, it was also possible that some treasure boxes were hidden in places that only Elders or the Clan Chief could access, such as the white jade treasure box obtained from the Yuan Spring during the awakening ceremony. Without the awakening ceremony, ordinary clan members would have no way to enter.
Furthermore, he already had the Nameless True Inheritance, so he was not in a hurry for various treasure box rewards. His current cultivation was too low; even if he obtained powerful Gu, he would not be able to use it. He could only look at it but not use it, and it might even bring him a fatal disaster. It was better to raise his own cultivation first.
As for the Fang Zheng and Fang Yuan brothers, whom he had high hopes for, he did not see even a wooden treasure box on them. Liu Chen could only assume that the plot had not yet begun, or that the treasure boxes would only appear after they became Gu Masters.
This matter also became one of his expectations. The treasure box on Lao Mo's body was absolutely invaluable, and he could only wait quietly.
Liu Chen had explored every corner of the Mountain Village. Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Chen immediately decided to leave the Mountain Village first and go explore Qing Mao Mountain. He went to Qing Mao Mountain not to search for any treasure boxes, but to seek out the Legacy of Flower Wine Ascetic.
As Liu Chen was preparing to leave the Mountain Village, an unexpected discovery filled him with joy—there was a golden treasure box at the entrance of the Mountain Village! This treasure box was placed there so abruptly, as if waiting for his arrival. Liu Chen effortlessly took the treasure box into his possession, secretly rejoicing in his heart.
The Wine Gu from the Flower Wine Ascetic's Legacy was his target, as it could increase his cultivation speed by several times.
The Wine Gu could enhance a Gu Master's primeval essence, allowing him to elevate his cultivation speed to the next level. With the Wine Gu from the Flower Wine Inheritance, Liu Chen's strength would undoubtedly receive a significant boost.
Not only that, if Liu Chen could obtain the Flower Wine Ascetic's Legacy in advance, it would undoubtedly bring great obstacles to Lao Mo's cultivation. This way, he would gain more cultivation time, and perhaps even more unexpected benefits.
However, Qing Mao Mountain was too vast, and the information Liu Chen had about the Flower Wine Inheritance was very limited. As far as he knew, the Flower Wine Inheritance was roughly located at the edge of the Gu Yue Clan's sphere of influence, behind a waterfall.
Such vague clues made it impossible to start. Liu Chen searched painstakingly on Qing Mao Mountain for an entire day. Until the sun set, he still hadn't found any trace of the Flower Wine Inheritance.
Helpless, Liu Chen could only return to the School dormitory, planning to try a different direction tomorrow, exploring the borders of Gu Yue Village little by little, knowing he would find it eventually.
Back in his dormitory room at the Mountain Village School, Liu Chen looked at the row of treasure boxes in the corner of his eye with some excitement. He took a deep breath and, without hesitation, reached out to open one of the bronze treasure boxes.
As the lid of the treasure box slowly opened, a faint light emanated from within. Liu Chen focused his gaze and saw a small Grass Gu lying quietly inside the treasure box. The System's voice sounded in his ear.
"Reward obtained: (Grass Puppet Gu) a Rank 1 Grass Gu, capable of creating a Grass Puppet dummy. Its food is ordinary green grass."
Liu Chen examined the Grass Puppet Gu, secretly evaluating it in his heart: "Hmm, this reward is quite fitting for the value of a bronze treasure box."
Bronze treasure boxes correspond to Rank 1 Gu Master, so obtaining a Grass Puppet Gu is not uncommon.
Although the Rank 1 Grass Puppet Gu was easy to refine, for Liu Chen, it currently had no significant practical use. Raising an additional Grass Puppet Gu was not difficult, but he still had many other treasure boxes waiting to be opened.
If every treasure box yielded Gu, he might not be able to handle it; just feeding these Gu would consume a lot of his energy.
However, Liu Chen then thought, "The School Elder's treasure box contained knowledge, which indicates that the probability of getting Gu is not very high. Maybe if I try again, I can get something more useful?"
Bronze treasure box. As the lid of the treasure box opened, another faint light flashed. Liu Chen looked closely, and a moon orchid as white as snow appeared in his hand.
"Reward obtained: (Moon Orchid) a moon orchid, a Rank 1 gu materials."
"It seems I was right, so I can continue opening the remaining treasure boxes." Liu Chen mused to himself, a confident smile appearing on his face, as he found a flower pot and planted the moon orchid.
After confirming his guess, Liu Chen continued to open the remaining bronze treasure boxes without hesitation. He took a deep breath, intending to continue opening the treasure boxes.
He then opened the remaining bronze treasure boxes, and a faint light emanated from inside, illuminating his face. He looked closely.
"Reward obtained: (A Bag of Primeval Stones) randomly obtain 1~99 Primeval Stones." The System's prompt sounded in Liu Chen's ear.
Liu Chen's heart was filled with joy. These Primeval Stones were essential resources for Gu Master cultivation. He quickly put the Primeval Stones away with the previous ones, anticipating that the next treasure box would bring him even more surprises.
Immediately after, he opened the second bronze treasure box.
"Reward obtained: (Green Bamboo Wine) a special wine secretly made by the Gu Yue Clan, with the fragrance of green bamboo." The System's prompt sounded again.
A bottle of Green Bamboo Wine appeared in his hand. This bottle of wine emitted a faint green bamboo fragrance, which was refreshing to smell.
Liu Chen was quite interested in this bottle of Green Bamboo Wine, thinking that it might play some role in his future search for the Wine Gu.
Subsequently, he opened the remaining bronze treasure box and obtained a jar of tiger-striped honey from it.
All five bronze treasure boxes were opened. Although Liu Chen did not obtain any particularly rare treasures, the overall harvest was quite good. Especially, only obtaining one Rank 1 Grass Puppet Gu made him completely relieved.
