Primordial Harem System

Chapter 168: First Inheritance Site

"Here, you can have these. Sigh, how poor are the disciples of the Inner sect?" He shook his head and gave two talismans to them.

"Hehe, I knew you won't leave us to die." Ling Mei smiled slyly and took the talisman.

"Thank you, Shen Yuan." Chen Yue also thanked him with a red face, as she also couldn't afford to buy one that could be useful for cultivators at her level.

Shen Yuan shook his head and looked deeper into the forest, "Let's head inside to see what we can find."

Wan Ling quickly asked, "Senior Brother, should we look out for something inside the Mystique Realm in particular or just wander around to test our luck?"

"Who knows what we will find inside here, we can only test our luck as even my senses have been restricted here, I can't utilize them to their maximum capacity."

"That's natural, anything stronger than the Inner Sea realm will be suppressed in here, it's already an achievement if the Mystique Realm puts restrictions on you. Since you need higher strength than your cultivation base." Ling Mei spoke as she looked at him with an admiring expression.

"I know that, but it's really annoying to deal with it myself." He shook his head and started walking.

The rest of the disciples followed after him, looking around themselves in caution for any possible ambush. Ling Mei followed just behind Shen Yuan, looking for any possible opportunity to earn a fortune inside the Mystique Realm.

Wan Ling curiously asked Shen Yuan, "Senior Brother, is there any chance for herbs or other heavenly treasures to be born here? Since the place looks dead and bleak all around."

Shen Yuan glanced around the surroundings, "You won't find normal herbs here, but there can be a special type of herb that requires such an ancient and decayed place to grow. But they are not that useful for most of the cultivators, so no point looking for them."

He turned and looked at Wan Ling lightly before continuing with a smile, "There can be quite a few good treasures here though, some cursed while some heavenly. All depends on one's fortune and what they will get."

Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Lian tripped on something, "Ahh-," and fell forward, Shen Yuan came in front of her and caught her before she could fall. "Are you alright?"

Zhao Lian felt her heartbeat quickening as she hurriedly nodded her head and stood up straight, Shen Yuan glanced below to see what she tripped on and realized that it was something buried in the ground.

"Oh ho, looks like we found our first lucky one to get a treasure," He smield lightly and raised his head to look at Zhao Lian, "Why don't you take it and see what it is?"

Zhao Lian eyes flashed as she thought what kind of treasure it might be, she nodded her head without hesitation as she knew what kind of wealth Shen Yuan had.

She crouched down and push away the dirt from the top. Finally realizing ti was a metal box. She pulled it out and looked at it for a second before staring at Shen Yuan.

"Haha, what are you looking at me for? Just open it, you might get something good." Shen Yuan chuckled softly seeing her look so helpless.

Zhao Lian nodded her head and took a deep breath before opening the box, all the disciples held their breaths as they waited to see what was inside of the box.

Zhao Ling closed her eyes as soon as the box fully opened due to the bright rays of light it released. But it calmed down in an instant as all of them looked inside the box to see a small necklace placed inside, it was resting atop a soft pillow-like thing.

"Hmm…looks like some kind of protective amulet, you should wear it, it can be used in a serious situation to save your life against someone much stronger than you." Shen Yuan curiously studied it and saw the formation engraved on the gem, he realized what type of formation it was since he had studied about them a bit in his free time during seclusion.

Zhao Lian nodded her head excitedly and put on it, it suited her very much as even the other disciples looked at her in envy, but they couldn't do anything as what Shen yuan had previously said was true.

It was her fortune that she got that treasure, other people will also have their own fortune.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go and explore this Mystique Realm!" Wan Ling smiled excitedly and ran a little ahead of the group.

Making others giggle softly seeing her innocence, Shen Yuan also shook his head and walked forward while surveying the surroundings.

…

Soon they reached an ancient temple after finding a few small treasures, "What is this?" Chen Yue asked curiously, seeing the old temple inside of this forest would make everyone feel something fishy was going on.

Shen Yuan looked at the temple and read the runes carved on the walls carefully before replying, "A test, to find a worthy successor of their fortune. But not everyone can pass as the requirements are strict yet simple."

"Can you pass, Senior Brother?" Chen Yue asked back curiously. Discover hidden tales at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

Shen Yuan chuckled softly as he replied, "I indeed can pass it quite easily, but I don't want to form a needless karmic bond with this place, you guys can go ahead and try your luck here since the inheritance is basically useless for me."

The rest of the disciples nodded their heads as their expressions turned serious, all of them entered the old temple from different entrances, leaving only Wan Ling and Ling Mei outside with Shen Yuan.

"Hmm? Do you guys not want the inheritance inside the old temple?" Shen Yuan asked curiously as he found a rock to sit down on.

Wan Ling tilted her head and spoke, "I stayed behind because I wanted to ask you about your opinion, should I head inside as well to look for opportunities? Or will it be useless for me to go inside?"

"The inheritance inside is of a Spear User, no point for the two of you to go inside, but it will be a good opportunity to observe what other trials you will have to go through, you can take your time in this one and can give it your all in your next trial." Shen Yuan thoughtfully said.

Wan Ling and Ling Mei nodded their heads as Ling Mei smiled and said, "This was also my question, but now that I have got an answer, I can confidently go inside to test my luck to see whether I can get something or not."

Shen Yuan nodded his head, "You both can go ahead then, I will stand guard outside so no one can disturb you guys."

Both of them nodded their heads one last time and headed inside the old temple.

Shen Yuan looked at their receding back, then looked at the sky as he released a sigh, "Let's see which of them will be the lucky one to inherit this place's spear.
