Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 81 Five Treasures

"Your Majesty Lang Lei, please follow me." Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to walk down the stairs.

Lang Lei wasn't anything to be afraid of, and followed closely behind.

As Lang Lei and Ning Fengzhi continued downwards, one after another, priceless luminous pearls embedded in the walls appeared before their eyes.

Ning Fengzhi was probably already used to it, but Lang Lei was indeed slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the underground was a hidden paradise, with excellent ventilation. In my previous life, this would have required an enormous amount of manpower and resources.

All I can say is that martial spirits and spirit power are still quite useful...

Although we don't know when this treasure trove was built, just by looking at how ancient the stone walls are, we can roughly guess that it was built a long time ago.

Soon, the two arrived at a heavy gate. The gate was decorated with a huge pagoda, but surprisingly, it was not a seven-jeweled glazed pagoda, but a nine-jeweled glazed pagoda!

Seeing Lang Lei staring at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda on the door with surprise, Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to explain: "This is also why I guessed that our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda has a defect. Originally, our martial soul should have been the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, but for some reason, it has now become a seven-story pagoda."

There was an undisguised regret in his words. Although Lang Lei had a method to help them evolve their martial souls, there was no need to share it; he wasn't doing charity work.

Ning Fengzhi once again unleashed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and colorful streams of light traveled along the gate in a special pattern.

About three minutes later, the door opened.

A precious light spilled out from the slightly ajar door...

How should I put it? The vault was surprisingly simple, so simple that it only contained a few large cabinets, yet it was also surprisingly luxurious, so luxurious that it held hundreds or even thousands of treasures.

"I have to say, it truly lives up to its reputation as the legendary treasure trove of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..." Lang Lei fell silent. He had thought that the Soul Bone Cave he had seen in the Star Dou Great Forest was already awe-inspiring enough, but he hadn't expected there to be another place that could rival it.

While the total value here may not be comparable to the caves where soul beasts store their soul bones, the variety of treasures is dazzling and eye-catching enough.

"I'll wait here. You can take five items yourself." Ning Fengzhi chose to trust Lang Lei's character and stood alone at the entrance of the treasure vault.

Of course, it's possible that she was afraid of hurting herself if she saw it.

Furthermore, this treasure vault appears to consist of only one room. With Ning Feng's Soul Saint's eyesight, he could still discern some of what Lang Lei was doing.

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty need not concern yourself with me; you may take your time choosing."

Lang Lei didn't stand on ceremony anymore. It was an unexpected surprise. It could be seen as Ning Fengzhi's money to save his life, or it could be seen as a stepping stone for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to reconcile with Lang Lei.

Lang Lei didn't care. After all, the culprits in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, along with other scoundrels, had been eliminated, and the other party had even given him a large sum of compensation. If nothing unexpected happened, he probably wouldn't bother with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School anymore.

But for now, I should choose the treasures first.

Clearly, the treasures that can enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's hidden treasury are not ordinary items; they all possess unique and extraordinary qualities.

Each treasure display compartment thoughtfully included a label indicating which sect leader placed the treasure there and what its purpose was, which greatly facilitated Lang Lei's selection process.

Soon, Lang Lei picked out two nice items.

One is a bracelet with a bell, which seems to be called "Soul Cleansing Sound". Each time it rings, it can clear the wearer of one negative mental state caused by enemies below the level of Title Douluo, making the wearer feel relaxed. It seems to work every once in a while, and it is also good as an ornament.

This is what Langley picked out for little Gretchen, not for its main function, but for its accompanying ability to relax the mind, and its good-looking appearance.

The other is two necklaces, with a simple and straightforward name—【Displacement Necklace】.

The effect is also straightforward: when encountering danger, one person can actively switch positions with another wearer, with a cooldown time of one minute.

This was given to Na'er by Lang Lei, since she is currently the weakest member of Lang Lei's team. Although she has great talent, she is still too young.

Since both little darlings have received gifts, it wouldn't be right not to bring something for Xuanbing and Lihuo as well. After considering their preferences and abilities, Lang Lei set out to find something.

It didn't take Lang Lei long to find a bracelet in a compartment—[Synchronous Frequency].

It's certain that Li Huo and Xuan Bing, working together, could easily handle some ordinary gods, but they lacked some coordination.

The effect of "Same Frequency" is somewhat similar to Huo Yuhao's shared mental perception in Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, but they are not exactly the same.

The two people wearing the bracelet can sense each other's thoughts during battle, and can also transfer their soul power to each other through the bracelet, which is equivalent to combining the soul power of the two people.

Moreover, it is said that if they spend a long time together, the two may even develop a martial soul fusion skill.

Although the probability is slightly lower, it is not impossible.

Lang Lei put away the three treasures with satisfaction.

The treasures of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can't compare to the system's lottery, and even among the weapon-type treasures, none can compare to the bladeless sword in Lang Lei's hand.

Therefore, when Lang Lei was choosing items this time, he mostly focused on the functionality of the treasures and did not require them to have too much of a boost to combat power.

Next up is myself.

Walking further in, Lang Lei saw a pure black cloak. Impressed by its handsome appearance, Lang Lei reached out and took it off.

【Cloak of Concealment】

Lang Lei immediately noticed the description in the large grid.

Once worn, it has a certain degree of temperature regulation function. In addition, it can also reduce the wearer's aura and reduce the wearer's presence. In the dark, it can even make the wearer invisible.

Most importantly, it's sturdy and looks cool!

Lang Lei put the Concealing Cloak on, smoothed it down slightly, and found it fit perfectly, as if it were tailor-made for him.

"Hmm, that's him." Lang Lei waved his hand, summoning a piece of ice. He looked himself up and down and nodded in satisfaction.

With only one item left to complete, Lang Lei began his ascent deeper into the treasure vault.

The deeper you go, the older the treasure is, and the earlier the sect leader who brought it in is.

It's not that the older something is, the more powerful it is; rather, it's that something that can withstand the erosion of time and retain its function for such a long period must be extraordinary.

After all, many slots were empty along the way for Lang Lei, probably because they were cleared out by Ning Fengzhi after they became useless.

The things hidden deep inside, tucked away in the cubicles, are attractive enough in themselves.
