Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

...

After a spatial fluctuation, Chen Hao and Wanwan appeared in Yang Gong's treasure vault.

Upon entering, Chen Hao immediately opened a portal connecting the cave to the outside world, and then with a flick of his sleeve, stirred up gusts of wind within the Yang Gong Treasure Vault.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~!

After the air inside Yang Gong's Treasure Vault was replaced by fresh air from the outside, Chen Hao said to Wanwan, "Now you can breathe freely."

As he spoke, Chen Hao released a lighting artifact from his spatial ring, illuminating the Yang Gong Treasure Vault as if it were daytime.

Wanwan finally relaxed her breathing, looked at the ancient and imposing Yang Gong Treasure Vault, and asked Chen Hao:

What should we do next?

Chen Hao said with a faint smile, "Wanwan, if you don't want to solve the puzzle, then I'll just take you to the treasure vault and take away the treasures inside Yang Gong's treasure vault."

"If you're interested in deciphering the mechanisms, then I'll take you to Yang Gong's Treasure Vault?"

Wanwan gave Chen Hao a charmingly playful glare: "I've never studied mechanical arts, so why would I be interested in the mechanical arts in Yang Gong's treasure vault?"

"Then shall I take you directly to the treasure vault?" Chen Hao asked tentatively.

The moment Chen Hao entered Yang Gong's Treasure Vault, he took in all the mechanisms and structures within through the Eye of the Candle Dragon, and had the Great Sage draw a detailed structural diagram of the treasure vault.

It can be said that Yang Gong's treasure vault now holds no secrets from Chen Hao.

Of course, the reason he was able to do all this was not only because the Candle Dragon's Eye gave Chen Hao unobstructed vision, but also because Chen Hao's mastery of mechanical arts had long surpassed that of Lu Miaozi, who built this treasure vault.

In this world, Lu Miaozi can be considered an all-around genius, proficient in martial arts, medicine, gardening, architecture, military strategy, disguise, astronomy, calendrical calculation, mechanisms and so on.

The intricately designed Yang Gong Treasure Vault was created by him.

He was also known as "the greatest craftsman in the world".

Seeing this ingeniously crafted Yang Gong Treasure Vault, Chen Hao's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression: 'It seems I need to find time to visit the Pegasus Ranch and see if I can subdue this Lu Miaozi.'

Although Lu Miaozi and Zhu Yuyan had a complicated entanglement, it was not something that Chen Hao needed to care about.

Moreover, Chen Hao also wanted to meet Shang Xiuxun, the beautiful owner of Pegasus Ranch.

“Great!” Wanwan immediately agreed, “It’s perfect to leave these mechanisms to future generations.”

　"I hope that after they overcome the obstacles, they won't feel sad because the treasure vault behind them is empty."

At this point, Wanwan couldn't help but giggle: "Hehe!"

"In that case, I'll take you there."

Chen Hao didn't pay much attention to Wanwan's wicked sense of humor. He simply grabbed her hand and teleported her to the true vault at the bottom of Yang Gong's treasure vault.

This is a circular stone chamber. In the center of the chamber is a circular stone table with eight stone chairs. On the tabletop is a detailed map of the treasure trove, complete with illustrations and text.

This perfectly circular underground chamber also has four ordinary wooden doors, each leading to one of the four treasure rooms. Under the table are flint, tinder, and tinder, to be used to light eight wall lamps evenly distributed around the chamber walls...

Having lighting artifacts, Chen Hao and his companions didn't need to light the wall lamps. They simply walked over, picked up the treasure vault map, glanced at it, and then tossed it onto the table.

Then he pointed to the four wooden doors and said to Wanwan:

"This contains the treasures and weapons collected by Yang Su. Let's go in and take a look!"

"Okay!"

Wanwan responded, and then she and Chenhao began searching room by room.

They quickly figured out what was inside the treasure vault.

The four stone chambers, each a hundred paces wide, three housed weapons, and one contained treasures, primarily gold.

All the weapons were carefully wrapped in special oilcloth to prevent corrosion and rust, and placed in thousands of sturdy wooden boxes.

A rough estimate suggests that there were over three thousand powerful bows alone, and countless arrows.

There were tens of thousands of other armors, knives, spears, swords, halberds and other weapons, enough to equip a powerful army of ten thousand men.

Ding ding~!

Wanwan casually picked up two weapons and clashed them together. Listening to their melodious, crisp sound, she exclaimed, "These are rare, high-quality weapons. Even Yang Su must have expended a lot of effort on them, right?"

Chen Hao glanced at it and said indifferently, "Not bad!"

With the [Concept Furnace], Chen Hao can produce as many weapons as he wants as long as he can collect enough materials.

　4.3 Moreover, compared to the materials and styles of the weapons in front of him, Chen Hao was able to create better ones.

Bang~!

Wanwan lifted the lid of a treasure chest, and the room was instantly filled with golden light.

Looking at the entire box of gold and jewelry, Wanwan's eyes instantly lit up: "So much gold!"

"Hurry up and put these away!" Chen Hao urged. "Wanwan, put these things away, I'll go outside and look for the Evil Emperor's Relic."

"okay!"

Wanwan lightly trod through Yang Gong's treasure vault barefoot, quickly storing all the treasures into her spatial ring.

The spatial rings of Wanwan and the others were all crafted by Chen Hao using the [Gourd Heaven] minor divine power. The space inside was as big as a football field, making it easy for him to store these treasures.

Chapter 162 Preparing to Issue Currency Belonging to Liyue City

"Chen Hao, what's that you're holding?"

After Wanwan put all the treasures from the four treasure rooms into her spatial ring and returned to the circular stone chamber, she saw Chen Hao holding a small, sealed copper jar.

"This is the relic of the Evil Emperor!"

Chen Hao tossed the small bronze jar in his hand and said to Wanwan with a smile.

"So fast?!"

Wanwan looked surprised.

She never expected that in just a few dozen breaths while she was collecting treasures, Chen Hao would find the hidden Evil Emperor's Relic.

However, considering Chen Hao's abilities, it seems there's nothing to be curious about.

After Wanwan entered Chen Hao's room, she immediately took the small bronze jar containing the Evil Emperor's relic from his hand.

However, to Wanwan's surprise, as soon as she took the bronze jar from Chen Hao's hand, she felt a sudden weight on her hands. Then, Wanwan's expression froze, and the jar in her hands lost its balance and was about to fall to the ground.

Chen Hao seemed to have anticipated this, and quickly steadied him from the side:

"Be careful! This small jar may look inconspicuous, but it weighs about a hundred pounds."

"Moreover, the Evil Emperor's Relic possesses an invisible, strange power that will constantly affect your mind."

　While 2700 jin (approximately 100 catties) is a considerable weight for ordinary people, it is no more difficult for martial artists like Chen Hao and Wanwan, who are at the Grandmaster level, than for an ordinary person to pick up a small stone.

Even though Wanwan is much weaker than Chenhao, she wouldn't be crushed and drop the copper pot when she takes it.

The reason for this is because...

“This Evil Emperor’s Relic is really strange!” Wanwan said, keeping her mind focused as she returned the bronze jar to Chen Hao. “The moment I touched the bronze jar, a bloody and terrifying illusion appeared before my eyes, and I seemed to hear the cries of thousands of wronged souls and vengeful ghosts demanding my life.”

Chen Hao gently tossed the bronze jar, sensing the movement within, and said to Wanwan, "The bronze jar is filled with a solution, and the Evil Emperor's Relic is immersed in that solution."

"This should be a method to interfere with and conceal the strange power of the Evil Emperor's Relic."

"Everything I just sensed was actually weakened?!" Wanwan stared incredulously at the bronze jar in Chen Hao's hand, her eyes somewhat glazed over. "This Evil Emperor's Relic is incredibly sinister!"

“The Evil Emperor’s Relic shouldn’t have had this ability originally!” Chen Hao guessed. “However, each generation of Evil Emperors poured their essence into the Evil Emperor’s Relic, which also made the Evil Emperor’s Relic tainted with the spiritual will of each generation of Evil Emperors.”

"That's why you sensed something sinister, Wanwan!"

After a moment of reflection, Wanwan looked at the bronze jar with curiosity: "Should we open this bronze jar and see what the Evil Emperor's Relic inside looks like?"

"Although I don't really mind, this is Chang'an City!"

Chen Hao rolled his eyes at Wanwan speechlessly: "No one knows how far the strange power of the Evil Emperor's Relic can reach. If it is sensed by the martial artists in Chang'an City, wouldn't it cause a riot up there?"

Wanwan playfully stuck out her tongue: "I forgot about that."

"If you're curious, let's go back to Yangzhou City and check it out!" Chen Hao put the jar containing the Evil Emperor's Relic directly into his spatial ring. "Now, let's search Yang Gong's Treasure Vault one last time and then head back."

"Ok!"

Wanwan nodded in agreement.

...

After rummaging through Yang Gong's treasure vault, Chen Hao and Wanwan quickly returned to Yangzhou City.

Looking at Wanwan's excited face, Yanfei said thoughtfully, "It seems that you two have had a good haul just now."

"Ok!"

Wanwan smiled and nodded, then said sweetly, "This is the first time in my life I've seen so much gold and jewelry. It's more than the gems that Chenhao gave to Sister Zinu last time."

"And they also have enough armor and weapons to equip 10,000 men!"

"That's amazing!"

After a moment of surprise, Yan Fei asked Chen Hao, "Chen Hao, what are you planning to do with all this gold and jewelry?"
