Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Elder Liu, this disciple finds this Extreme Ice Shield Axe quite handy to use, so let's keep it...!"

Despite Elder Liu's repeated reminders, Lu Feng merely swung the Extreme Ice Shield Axe in his hand lightly, then grinned and carried it behind his back.

Although he also wanted to choose a better magic weapon, Gu Canyang was the spirit of the treasure basin and had tens of thousands of years of experience, so he was unlikely to lie to him.

Therefore, for now, Lu Feng still chooses to trust Gu Canyang, abandoning other treasures and magical artifacts, and instead takes this broken Extreme Ice Shield Axe into his possession.

"Since you have already chosen your desired treasure, then this elder will not say anything more."

Seeing that Lu Feng had made up his mind, Elder Liu had some doubts, but she didn't say anything. She took out her Cangmang Token from her bosom and gently stroked the front of the token with her jade hand.

hum!

As a mysterious light flashed across the Azure Token, Lu Feng's eyes widened in shock. "This thing is actually worth 800,000 contribution points...!"

"Holy crap, that's way too expensive!"

The mysterious light on the Cangmang Token flashed by, and although Lu Feng only glanced at it briefly, he clearly saw that the Cangmang Token in Liu Lanyu's hand instantly lost 800,000 contribution points, obviously for the cost of purchasing the Extreme Ice Shield Axe.

At this moment, Lu Feng finally understood why Liu Lanyu had reminded him from the beginning that he could only choose one treasure at most.

After all, the treasures stored on the third floor of the Falling Star Treasury are all ridiculously expensive, and even with the wealth and resources of Elder Liu Lanyu, it's a bit too much for her!

"Most of the treasures in the Falling Star Treasury belonged to our ancestors, and there are also rules established by successive deans that prohibit anyone from taking them without permission, not even this elder himself..."

Seeing Lu Feng still standing there somewhat reluctantly, seemingly wanting to pick out a few more treasures, Liu Lanyu turned around and said meaningfully, "If you've taken a fancy to any other treasures, then work hard to serve the academy and earn more contribution points. Perhaps you'll have another chance to visit this place in the future..."

"Alright, let's go!"

After saying that, Liu Lanyu stopped talking and immediately raised her hand, shooting a sword finger towards Lu Feng's bare chest.

Swish!

The next moment, Lu Feng felt his body suddenly become uncontrollable, as if he were a light breeze, and he was suddenly thrown towards the outside of the ancient iron tower until he finally landed steadily.

Click!

As he landed, the mid-grade Xuan-level talisman on Lu Feng's chest shattered and then completely turned into dust, seemingly having exhausted its last bit of power.

After all, this talisman was originally used by Liu Lanyu to prevent the ancient formation surrounding the Falling Star Treasure Vault from harming Lu Feng, and its power is very limited and cannot be sustained for a long time.

"What amazing talismanic skills...!"

"It can even block the ancient formation left by the founder of Falling Star Academy. It seems Elder Liu has more tricks up his sleeve than I imagined..."

Lu Feng touched his still somewhat cold chest, his face full of emotion.

After all, without the protection of a mid-grade Xuan-level spirit talisman, he probably wouldn't have even taken a step closer to the Falling Star Treasure Vault before being completely torn apart by the ancient formation surrounding it, leaving him without a complete corpse, let alone being able to go in and choose any treasures!

"Hmph! It's just a mere mid-grade Xuan-level talisman, what's so great about it? I had plenty of these little gadgets back in the day! And any talisman I randomly pulled out was better than the one that woman had!"

Seeing Lu Feng showering Liu Lanyu with praise, Gu Canyang inside the Treasure Basin also let out a light snort, his tone full of disdain, as if he too had been stirred up with a competitive spirit.

Faced with Gu Canyang's challenge, Lu Feng simply smiled and remained silent, offering no response.

Because of his past temper and his glorious past, Gu Canyang has not let go of his former arrogance even though he is now just a remnant spirit of a weapon.

...

A short while later, Bai Qiufeng, outside the Chenxi Building of the Scripture Hall.

Click!

As a void rift appeared out of thin air, Lu Feng and Liu Lanyu leaped out of it and landed on the ground.

This scene drew astonished glances from passing disciples, who began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Look! That person looks like Senior Brother Lu Feng...!"

"It really is! And it's not just Senior Brother Lu Feng, even Elder Liu from the Scripture Hall is here...!"

"Strange, why did Senior Brother Lu Feng and Elder Liu return from the teleportation array together, and why were they inseparable? Could it be that their relationship is unusual...?"

"Shh! What the hell are you talking about! How dare you spread rumors about Elder Liu in public? You little brat, are you courting death?!"

In the crowd, a new student from the North Campus had barely finished speaking when several of his companions suddenly covered his mouth and shouted at him with terrified expressions, as if afraid that Liu Lanyu, who was not far away, would hear them.

After all, Liu Lanyu's fiery temper was well-known throughout the entire Falling Star Academy. If you offended her, you would really be in deep trouble!

As for the whispers and murmurs among the disciples around her, Liu Lanyu merely frowned slightly, ignoring them. She then turned to Lu Feng beside her and said, "Lu Feng, I have now repaid all the favors I owed you in the past. From now on, you'd better watch yourself!"

After saying that, Liu Lanyu turned and walked towards the opposite prayer hall, leaving behind only a graceful and heroic figure, which made people's imaginations run wild.

"Elder Liu, she really is a kind woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart..."

Watching Liu Lanyu's departing figure, Lu Feng was also filled with emotion.

Although she usually seemed very cold and unsmiling, Lu Feng knew very well that Liu Lanyu was a truly good woman.

In addition, when the Wusheng Sect's army invaded Falling Star Valley, Liu Lanyu risked her life to protect Lu Feng and the disciples in the academy, which can be described as being loyal to her duty and living up to the reputation of the Scripture Hall Elder!

Therefore, based on this point alone, Liu Lanyu holds a high position in Lu Feng's heart, and at the same time, she is someone Lu Feng is willing to befriend deeply!

"Now it's time to get down to business...!"

Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Feng took a deep breath and turned to leave Bai Qiufeng.

...

Cangmang Mountain, Shanxing Peak, inside a personal cave

"Ancient one, as you once said, the Treasure Basin can repair this damaged Ice Shield Axe. So, what should I do next, kid?"

"And... is this really okay?"

Gazing at the ancient setting sun floating in the air before him, Lu Feng summoned the Treasure Basin and tentatively asked, seemingly already impatient.

After all, he gave up other more powerful magical artifacts for this Extreme Ice Shield Axe. If the Treasure Basin fails to be repaired now, Lu Feng will undoubtedly suffer a huge loss!

"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you, kid!"

After glancing at Lu Feng again, Gu Canyang said in a nonchalant tone, "The method to repair the Extreme Ice Shield Axe is also very simple. Just place it in the Treasure Basin and wait for half a month, and it will be done!"

"As for the fully repaired Ice Shield Axe, if I'm not mistaken, its power will at least rival that of a top-tier Xuan-grade magic weapon!"

Gu Canyang continued unhurriedly.

"A complete Extreme Ice Shield Axe, its power is at least comparable to a top-tier Xuan-grade magic weapon?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Old Gu, I don't feel like the improvement is that significant. Is there any way to make this thing stronger? Or even break through to the level of a spirit-grade magic weapon?"

"Hmph, you haven't changed a bit in your old, insatiable nature...!"

Seeing Lu Feng's smug expression, Gu Canyang snorted coldly, then said somewhat irritably, "Not to mention that this Extreme Ice Shield Axe itself is flawed, with severe loss of internal spiritual energy, it's practically a half-finished product..."

"The power of the Treasure Basin hasn't fully recovered yet. It's already extremely difficult to repair it to a top-tier Xuan-grade magic weapon. You, brat, still want a Spirit-grade magic weapon?"

"You've got all the benefits, kid. Why don't you just fly to the moon?"
