Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

The dark blue floor tiles gleamed with a cold, hard luster, and each step made only a very light thud. Lin Mu took a few steps, held his breath, and his fingertips vibrated slightly on the shaft of the Dragon God Spear.

At this moment, his expectations for the national treasury suddenly soared a hundredfold!

[Fuxi Prime Minister's Treasury], the ancient treasury, may contain some good things... even just one item might be worth the Twelve Dragon Fortunes!
Anyway, he got eighteen dragon lucks for free today. After consuming twelve more dragons and adding the achievement reward, he will get nine dragon lucks, one hundred tiger lucks, and three hundred ox lucks for free.

"【Divine Realm Token】...I never expected it to be the key to breaking through to the Heavenly General level...An incredibly valuable treasure!"

"Dong Zhuo was so persistent in searching for the national treasury, could it be that he had already accepted the [Ancient Treasury] mission? Liu Bei was so persistent in coming in, could it be for the same reason?!" Lin Mu suddenly thought of a possibility and was filled with emotion.

Unbeknownst to him, he had seized so much of the fortune of the other feudal lords!

Indeed, only by competing can you gain more!

Composing himself, Lin Mu turned his gaze to the main hall.

Eight towering stone pillars, carved with countless phoenixes in flight, are distributed on both sides of the main hall.

Lin Mu was immediately drawn to them because the phoenixes were now emitting a faint red glow, and upon closer inspection, it seemed as if he could hear the cries of countless phoenixes.

Phoenix, according to legend, has disappeared from China... The exact reason is currently unknown.

After all these years of experience, I've seen quite a few real dragons, but I've never actually seen a phoenix! At most, I've only seen glimpses of phoenixes in some unusual celestial phenomena.

Lin Mu suddenly turned around and found two black, unidentified iron-like gates, each ten feet tall. The back of the gates was carved with ferocious Taotie patterns, holding two huge bronze door rings. The rings were covered with mottled marks of time, but the two characters "National Treasury" were still clearly visible on them, written with powerful strokes and carrying an inviolable majesty.

The national treasury has a gate, but which path leads to it?!

This was not the time to investigate where the door led; he turned around and looked into the depths of the main hall.

This main hall is about the size of a football field, and the eight phoenix stone pillars, each about ten feet in diameter, are symmetrically distributed on both sides.

Right in the center—at the very center—was a high platform resembling one used by emperors for holding meetings.

The dark red jade steps have ninety-nine steps, and on both sides above them are eight ferocious beast sculptures, four of which seem to be Taotie and four of which seem to be Chaos.

Two Taotie and two Chaos are arranged in a crisscross pattern on one side, while the other side is symmetrical.

Symmetry, that's right. Lin Mu quickly looked around and found that everything around him was arranged in accordance with the principle of symmetry!
Above it was not the emperor's dragon throne, but a small jade platform, on which sat a small box the size of a palm!

Upon seeing the small box, Lin Mu's pupils constricted sharply, and excitement immediately appeared on his face. He had a premonition that this small box was definitely not from the Han Dynasty's national treasury; in other words, it was an ancient relic from the [Fuxi Prime Minister's Treasury]!
Its value is immeasurable!
At this moment, Lin Mu felt that all his efforts were worthwhile. Even though he had been outmaneuvered by those three cunning old foxes, even though Zhu Xuan had stolen the true dragon's body, even though he hadn't dealt a severe blow to Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, it was all worth it!!

"I have a feeling that Dong Zhuo and the others must hate me to the core by now!"

"It seems that being targeted is definitely going to happen... Even if those plans had some effect, they wouldn't affect their decisions." Lin Mu couldn't help but think of the immense pressure the Great Wilderness Territory would face next!
"Damn... If that's the case, then I might as well just declare myself king and establish a kingdom. Anyway, I'm being targeted, and the whole world is my enemy!!!" Suddenly, a terrifying thought surfaced in Lin Mu's mind.

"No...no, stay steady, stay steady! Don't get carried away! Avoid arrogance and impetuosity!!" Lin Mu took a deep breath. He then focused his gaze on the small box; it was its appearance that had ignited his heroic spirit. Even before opening it, it had already subtly influenced him, demonstrating its terrifying power.

"I hope you won't disappoint me!!" Lin Mu said solemnly.

Its sound shattered the silence that had gripped the ancient treasury for countless years.

Lin Mu looked down and saw a scarlet carpet laid from the doorway to the ninety-nine jade steps leading to the high platform.

Looking up at the dome of the main hall, one could see that the walls were inlaid with luminous pearls. The pearls emitted a soft yet bright glow, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime. Each pearl was about the size of a fist, smooth and translucent, clearly very valuable. Their distribution still followed the principle of symmetry.

Then, Lin Mu looked at the small box again. On either side of it stood a bronze lampstand, the wicks and oil of unknown origin, still burning.

A faint scent of ambergris wafted over; wow, this feels so luxurious!
It's just a warehouse for storing treasures, yet it's so exquisite—ten thousand times more exquisite than the Nine Palaces Treasure Cave in his territory!
Lin Mu took a deep breath and continued walking forward. His gaze swept to both sides, his steps slow, and he walked straight onto the red carpet.

He knew that the real secret, the real expectation, was inside that little box made of some unknown material!
However, the treasures nearby are also worth seeing!

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Lin Mu was still slightly moved by the luxurious decoration of the national treasury when he saw the things along the way.

On both sides, there were jade cabinets cast, each of which was empty. It was as if there had never been anything on them to begin with.

What surprised Lin Mu was not that there was nothing inside, nor the supplies haphazardly placed in front of the jade cabinet, but that the jade cabinet was emitting a strange misty aura, which was extremely similar to, or even more intense than, the aura permeating his Nine Palaces Treasure Cave!

"As expected, this is an ancient national treasury, it can't be simple... Putting treasures on it can also improve it," Lin Mu murmured.

Between the jade cabinet and the phoenix pillar, there was a spacious area spanning several tens of feet. Various supplies were currently piled haphazardly on top of it. These supplies appeared to be from the imperial treasury of the Great Han Dynasty!

Lin Mu went to the nearest spot and saw that there were several display shelves that had not fallen over.

That looked like a display shelf in the weapons section. It was made of thousand-year-old sandalwood, hard in texture, with a dark red luster. Each shelf displayed different kinds of weapons, from short weapons to long weapons, from ranged attacks to close combat, everything was available, and each one was definitely not an ordinary item.

Many divine weapons and artifacts were acquired from the Epang Palace, and they are still here today. Indeed, emperors are never without divine weapons and artifacts.

Lin Mu walked over, and on the front shelf, various short blades were displayed. He reached out and picked up a dagger. The dagger was about seven inches long, with a dark silver blade that gleamed with a chilling light. The handle was made of animal bone, with fine scales carved on it. It was warm and non-slip in his hand. The words "Cold Moon" were engraved on one side of the blade, the characters were slender but sharp.

"The Frost Moon Dagger, a Heaven-rank weapon, forged from millennia-old cold iron and mixed with meteorite fragments, can cut hair in an instant and slice through iron like mud. It can also absorb the power of moonlight to amplify Yuan Power attacks." Lin Mu cast a Tai Long Qi Observation Technique and murmured immediately.

Lin Mu ran his fingertips over the blade, feeling the faint chill contained within. He nodded inwardly and casually put the Frost Moon Dagger away.

After that, he put away all eight display cases.

"Unfortunately, there's still no armor..." (End of Chapter)
