Chapter 273: Let Them Exert Their Final Light and Heat
Counter No. 78.
To call it a counter is in fact to refer to an individual storage room.
To gain access to it is simple enough, just need to provide the exclusive password.
However, unlocking the counter requires the retinal scan of the original depositor.
Both of these are naturally not obstacles for Xu Lingjun.
Entering the password left by Marquis Xia Wu, he followed the staff into the exclusive storage counter.
As the staff departed...
Xu Lingjun looked around to ensure there was no surveillance in the vicinity.
He then whispered, "Xiaoya, you can start now."
"Yes."
As Xu Lingjun took out the pendant containing Xiaoya and placed it on his chest.
A beam of light emerged, sweeping ahead, and quickly coalescing into a shadowy figure...
And wasn't it Marquis Xia Wu?
The figure was blurry, but the eyes were peculiarly clear. This 3D projection walked slowly to the scanner, bending down to align its eyes with the retinal detector.
"Verification successful."
A mechanical voice announced.
Accompanied by Xu Lingjun's sudden relief of joy...
Indeed, with Xiaoya here, it saved me so much trouble.
Marquis Xia Wu, lingering in the sect initially, later also joined the Martial Mansion, thriving wherever he went, and this undoubtedly was his genuine treasure trove, so secret that even his wife was unaware.
Such items left until the storage fee expiry and then directly seized by the Heaven and Earth Bank would be too unfortunate.
Better to let me keep them and allow them to exert their last light and heat.
Mmm...
Xu Lingjun stepped into the interior of that storage counter.
Inside, it was a roughly ten square meter metallic room, with wall cabinets lining every side, no seating was available except for an open center space.
At this moment, the vast cabinet was crowded with items.
A large amount of cash, for the current Xu Lingjun, these were ironically the least valuable... Of course, not to say that...
At the very least, Xu Lingjun felt that if he took this money out...
Supported—not exactly—could supply that little girl Jun Qing up to the Profound Realm easily.
Hmm, I was planning to sell some academic credits, but now it seems credits can be saved, sparing a lot of trouble indeed.
There were also several precious herbs stored in special containers to keep them fresh.
As well as some valuable potions and elixirs.
Good stuff.
Xu Lingjun's eyes couldn't help but shine, these potions and elixirs, since Marquis Xia Wu kept them here, they were undoubtedly rare treasures he needed yet couldn't bear to use.
Though unlabelled.
But when Xu Lingjun gently touched them, hints instantly appeared before his eyes.
[Detected High grade Yang Spirit Liquid, would you like to assign it its real source, consuming 120 points of Source Value?]
[Detected incomplete item Essence Supplement Pill, would you like to assign it its real source, consuming 30 points of Source Value?]
[Detected Middle grade Barrier-Breaking Pill, would you like to assign it its real source, consuming 210 points of Source Value?]
..............
A string of notifications.
Some good, some poor, but enough to delight Xu Lingjun immensely, just looking at the Source Value needed for Assignment Source, he could tell these items were extremely valuable.
Still, what these items' functions precisely are, he might need to go back and check the information to know for sure.
As for the abundant herbal spirit plants, since he doesn't practice alchemy, they might not be usable... But taking them back for academic credits exchange would easily yield at least a few thousand credits.
These items can totally see the light of day.
Who would know Marquis Xia Wu's rightful inheritance has unknowingly fallen into my hands?
Now, Xu Lingjun no longer hesitated, without delay he opened his Transformation Capsule and swept everything inside.
As he swept through...
He paused.
In his eyes emerged an irrepressible look of ecstasy.
He saw deep within the storage cabinet.
An exquisite small iron box was placed there.
And its size was precisely...
"Cultivation Technique?"
Did Marquis Xia Wu actually store a Cultivation Technique in his counter?
This was truly a remarkable treasure.
Xu Lingjun took the iron box, which used the ancient rotary-style lock.
But this naturally was no obstacle for Xu Lingjun, he simply took out the Sword of Oath and Victory, lightly sliced with the blade, and the box was open.
Inside, sure enough, was a brand-new book.
Moreover, it was handwritten.
"This... this is..."
Xu Lingjun was shocked, eyes wide with glee, almost speechless with joy.
Hints already appeared before him.
[Detected incomplete item Ultimate Level Martial Skill "Reversing Heaven and Earth," would you like to assign it its source, consuming 1700 points of Source Value!]
Since entering.
In front of Xu Lingjun, it had been like a screen constantly refreshing, with various tiny letters appearing endlessly.
But no item had astonished him more.
An Ultimate Level Martial Skill?
And it's incomplete. Even incomplete, it reaches Ultimate Level rank, so if I assign its source, then what I obtain afterward, could it be...
Supreme Level Martial Skill?
Xu Lingjun's breath halted involuntarily, eyes glinting with a hint of ecstatic euphoria... Just this martial skill alone might be tens of times more valuable than everything he previously acquired combined!
Flipping through it.
His eyes shone even brighter, this martial skill was the hallmark art of the Cuowu Sect.
Rumored to be accessible only to the rank of elder and above in martial arts ultimate techniques.
Xu Lingjun did not immediately assign the source...
Once a Martial Arts Technique assigns the source, he can't see the original anymore.
He intended to go back, carefully review this martial arts documentation, at least determining the differences before and after source assignment.
Cuowu Sect's supreme ultimate technique.
This is a hot potato, but no matter how hot, once in my mouth, don't expect me to spit it out. Anyway, already offended them, not caring about offending more.
Carefully pack everything up.
Ensuring there were no oversights.
Only then did Xu Lingjun exit Counter No. 78.
Outside, the exclusive service personnel waited still.
Xu Lingjun said, "Deregister Counter No. 78, I've taken everything inside; I shouldn't need it in the future."
"Certainly, please follow me for processing the paperwork."
Following the service personnel, Xu Lingjun deregistered the storage function of Counter No. 78 and additionally reclaimed a management fee of ten million...
That made him sigh with emotion, indeed the wealth disparity in this world is staggering, god bless, this guy's management fee alone could rival my three hundred square small flat.
That's my only asset after all.
After completing all the procedures, by the way, he deposited all the money including what was taken from the counter into his account.
When the time comes, he was planning to give this card to Gu Xi, perhaps she would be so grateful that she'd cry tears of joy then.
Stepping out the bank's door.
Xu Lingjun casually broke Marquis Xia Wu's card, then between his fingers, activated the "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation," directly crushing the card.
Thus far...
The last evidence left by Marquis Xia Wu in this world has been erased.
Only after a few steps.
Xu Lingjun couldn't help but hmm and felt an exceedingly intense gaze fixing on him, then shifting away the moment he reacted.
Xu Lingjun asked softly, "Xiaoya, was someone watching me just now."
After asking, he realized that in this bustling crowd, asking Xiaoya was indeed a waste of breath.
He shook his head, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."
"Yes, Master, at your left 49-degree angle, your friend is watching you."
"What?"
Xu Lingjun looked up surprised, following Xiaoya's indication.
Meeting a pair of eyes full of rebellious arrogance.
Han Yun City, he stood quietly by the tree, a slight cruel grin on his face, staring intently.
Still that familiar actor vibe, made Xu Lingjun want to award him.
Meanwhile.
Far away...
Wu Hongzhou quietly retracted his gaze.
Inwardly marveled, what keen intuition this boy has, had I been a fraction slower, he might have noticed something.
Just didn't expect this kid to arrive in the Imperial Capital ahead of time, and even entered the Heaven and Earth Bank... Does it mean, the treasure Marquis Xia Wu promised me was placed in the Heaven and Earth Bank by him, and then taken by this lad?
