Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 297 Treasure House, Fire Stone

Li Zhi stood at the intersection of five forked roads, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pondered for a moment.

Then he walked towards one of the forked roads at random.

After walking along this road for a distance, I saw a man with a grayish-green face sitting upright in front of me, like a sculpture, motionless.

The man's face was pale, with a strange bluish-gray color, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

Just now, when Mr. Qiu was leading Li Zhi here, Mr. Qiu had already told Li Zhi in detail that this person was the staff member responsible for the exchange in the treasury.

Seeing this, Li Zhi nodded to him out of politeness.

However, the man seemed to have heard nothing and did not react at all, as if he did not notice Li Zhi's arrival.

Although Li Zhi was a little surprised, he didn't care too much. He just shrugged slightly and walked straight inside.

When he passed through a seemingly ordinary stone door, the scene before him suddenly enlightened him.

I saw rows of tall and neat shelves arranged in an orderly manner in the spacious space, and all kinds of strange and weird things were placed on the shelves.

Not only that, each item is thoughtfully labeled with its name, use and effect, and even precise quantity statistics.

Li Zhi was shocked by the layout and setting of this modern management style.

He originally thought that this treasure house would be an ancient and mysterious place with items placed in a disorderly manner, but he did not expect that the scene before him would be so neat and well-informed.

Li Zhi calmed himself down a little, allowing himself to recover from the shock, and then began to stroll around this huge treasure house with great interest.

Although his main purpose of coming here was to find items related to the five elements, he was extremely anxious.

But at this moment, when he was truly in this magical place full of treasures, the strong curiosity in his heart was instantly ignited.

He thought to himself that if he didn't take a good look at these precious treasures and take this opportunity to broaden his horizons, it would be really unreasonable. It might be difficult to have such an opportunity again in the future.

Li Zhi paced slowly while carefully observing the various items on the shelves. The more he looked, the more frightened he felt.

The foundation of this Yeyou Division is indeed extremely profound, and there are simply countless wonderful treasures.

There are magical weapons emitting mysterious light, with different shapes, but Li Zhi can feel the powerful power contained in them.

There are also pills in exquisite jade bottles. Various kinds of pills have different effects, and some are better than those made by Li Zhi himself.

Li Zhi even saw something that looked like a pill. It was placed in a special brocade box and seemed to be surrounded by a faint halo.

Li Zhi came over curiously and looked at the mysterious thing carefully.

The label on the top of the brocade box clearly read - Longevity Pill.

The following introduction explains in detail the miraculous effects of this pill: taking one pill can restore six years of life, but taking it a second time will only restore three years of life, and the effect is doubled each time.

Despite this, the preciousness of this longevity pill is still self-evident.

Li Zhi was secretly amazed in his heart. If he had not come to this treasure house, he probably would not have known that such a miraculous treasure existed in the world.

This kind of good thing naturally made Li Zhi very excited, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes for a moment.

However, when his eyes moved to the column on the label indicating the contribution points required for redemption, his face instantly turned as dark as ink, and the enthusiasm in his heart seemed to be extinguished like a basin of cold water.

The contribution points required for a longevity pill are as high as one thousand!

This number is simply an astronomical figure for Li Zhi.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, but after a moment, he had to admit that the price was actually very reasonable.

After all, something that can extend one's life by six years is of great value, so how could it be cheap? Such treasures are probably only affordable for those powerful people.

Li Zhi shook his head helplessly, suppressed his desire for the longevity pill, and continued to stroll slowly in this treasure house full of temptations.

His eyes swept across each rare treasure like a scanner. Each treasure exuded a unique charm, as if waving at him, trying to attract his attention.

Just as his eyes were moving among the numerous treasures, suddenly, Li Zhi's eyes froze, and he saw the most critical goal of his trip - the Five Elements of Qi!

Even though it was placed in an exquisite box, the stone still couldn't stop emitting a strong and hot breath. It was like a bright star, attracting all of Li Zhi's attention.

Li Zhi involuntarily moved closer, his eyes fixed on the mysterious stone, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.

The label below clearly read: Fire Stone, which contains the nature of fire! These few short words instantly made Li Zhi's heart like a ignited flame, and he immediately became restless.

This is exactly what he had been looking for by coming to the capital with great difficulty and stepping into the treasure house of the Night Tour Bureau!

However, when his eyes subconsciously moved to the contribution points that needed to be exchanged, Li Zhi's breathing suddenly stopped, as if an invisible big hand was tightly grasping his heart.

But it clearly stated on it - Redemption required: 500 contribution points.

This number was like a basin of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in his heart.

Li Zhi's expression instantly became extremely complicated, with various emotions flashing across his face. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to resist the urge to take the Fire Stone away.

He knew clearly that the man who seemed indifferent outside was not just an ordinary staff member in charge of exchange matters, but also had the important responsibility of guarding the treasury.

Don’t think that when Li Zhi came in just now, he was like a statue and had no reaction. But if Li Zhi dared to do such a bold move as taking the things and running away, then Li Zhi would definitely face the man’s fierce attack like a storm in an instant.

In the headquarters of the Night Patrol, in this heavily guarded treasury, attempting to steal is simply courting death.

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and thought secretly in his heart that he now had more than 300 contribution points. Although there was still a long way to go before exchanging for Fire Stones, it was not an insurmountable gap.

At worst, he could just do a few more difficult, high-reward tasks. He believed that with his abilities, 500 contribution points would definitely not be a difficult task for him.

Li Zhi forced himself to move his burning and longing gaze away from the Fire Stone with great difficulty. He tried to calm himself down and turned his gaze to other things.

After a while, Li Zhi's attention was attracted by something.

He saw a small jade bottle containing a drop of heavenly spiritual water.

This drop of heavenly spiritual water swayed slightly in the jade bottle, emitting a faint fluorescence, as if it contained endless vitality and vigor, making Li Zhi's heart, which was already restless because of the fire stone, even more difficult to calm down.

He subconsciously looked down and found that this drop of Heavenly Spirit Water had been diluted. It only had one tenth of the original effect, but because of this, the contribution points required to exchange for this drop of Heavenly Spirit Water would not be daunting for Li Zhi.

Looking at the fifty contribution points marked on it, Li Zhi weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Without any hesitation, he reached out and picked up the jade bottle containing a drop of diluted Tianling Water.

He held the jade bottle tightly. Since he couldn't get the treasure of the five elements' energy for the time being, he would first look for something that could replenish his vitality to solve his current urgent problem, which would be worth the trip.
