974 Special Treasure (1/2)

Chapter 974 – Special Treasure

Not long after Ouyang Shuo entered the deep mountains, he heard shouts spreading out from behind. A Divine Martial Guard ran over, ”My king, we found a cave.”

”Go, let's go take a look.”

Very quickly, Ouyang Shuo and his group arrived outside a cave that was covered by shrubs. As it was totally covered by veins and leaves, and the stone had a lot of algae growing on it due to the passage of time, if one did not look carefully, they would definitely miss it.

Ouyang Shuo praised, ”Thankfully, you are all attentive.”

When the young Divine Martial Guard heard that, he puffed his chest up more as he tried to hide his happiness. To them, getting praised by the king was the greatest honor and one that gave them bragging rights for an entire lifetime.

Clawing aside the shrub, a pitch black mountain cave appeared in front of them.

”Torch!”

Ouyang Shuo said as he walked into the cave.

The Divine Martial Guards lit up torches and followed Ouyang Shuo into the cave. Xu Chu was like an iron tower, quietly following behind the king. His eyes were brimming with energy and focus as he paid attention to the surroundings.

After walking forward for about 20 meters, he suddenly arrived at a vast and empty space. Stalactites hung down from above the ceiling, and one could hear the dripping sounds of water droplets.

Ouyang Shuo had an idea and followed the sound of water.

Using the light of the torch, Ouyang Shuo saw the most unusual stalactite. It was totally white like milk; it was luscious, shiny, and even gave out a nice scent.

Below it was a little pool the size of a face washing basin. The sound of the water droplets came from when the white liquid from the stalactite fell into the pool.

The pool was already half full with the white liquid; it looked like it was filled with milk.

If one came close to the pool, one could smell an even thicker scent. Not only that, but it was totally refreshing, opening up all your pours and making you feel really good.

Ouyang Shuo's eyes contracted because he knew that he had come into contact with a treasure.

”Luck is truly a magical thing. Finally, I have a fortuitous encounter.” Ouyang Shuo was delighted as he used his scouting technique on the pool.

Ten Thousand Year Stalactite (Platinum Rank): rare spirit item; it can be directly used to increase cultivation and can also be made into pills.

”What a treasure!”

Ouyang Shuo was delighted. He took out four yellow-colored flasks from his storage bag.

This was not a normal flask. Rather, it was a really precious tool used to store medicine in liquid form. Not only could it ensure the effectiveness of the medicine, but it could also increase it.

The four flasks were gifts from Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing.

Since he was entering a treasure mountain, how could Ouyang Shuo go home empty handed? The four flasks were filled up to the brim with the liquid. He did not even miss out on a single drop.

”Here!”

Ouyang Shuo passed one of the flasks to Xu Chu.

”My king?”

Even the usually calm Xu Chu had an expression filled with surprise. As a general, his cultivation was amazing. Naturally, he could feel that the liquid was extraordinary.

Never did he expect the king to give such a gift to him.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, ”This is the ten thousand year stalactite. After use, it can increase one's cultivation. When you return to the ship, arrange the three thousand Divine Martial Guards and share it with them.”

”Thank you my king for your good grace.”

The iron-willed man seemed like he was about to be touched to tears.
