Open up and break into another world

Family Treasure Vault?

In stealth mode, Xu Ming's eyes narrowed involuntarily into wicked crescent shapes; his feet, without needing his brain to command them, automatically followed Lin Yubo and the others.

“Isn't this a bit too…sly?” Xu Ming suddenly felt that his current posture seemed a bit…sly.

“No! What do you mean, sly!” Xu Ming reasoned with himself righteously, “I'm not going to do anything wrong! I just haven't seen what a treasure vault in this world looks like yet, I'm just going to visit and broaden my horizons — yes, that's it!”

Thinking of this, Xu Ming straightened his sly back.

However, was Xu Ming really just going for a visit?

“Family Head, what exactly is this Blood Escape Talisman you just mentioned?” Lin Yucheng, who was in charge of intelligence, naturally knew many secrets that others didn't; however, he had never heard of this Blood Escape Talisman.

Lin Yuzhan and Lin Yuxin looked equally curious. What exactly was it that could make someone disappear into thin air?

“Blood Escape Talisman?” Xu Ming followed behind, listening to their conversation.

“Actually, I'm not very clear either, I just heard that the Blood Escape Talisman is a type of rune specifically used for escaping with one's life; once activated, it disappears without a trace in an instant! But…it's very impractical! Because…” Lin Yubo said everything he knew.

The others listened in understanding: “That is indeed impractical!”

Xu Ming then opened the Rune section in the Artifact Shop and browsed through it.

“There really is a Blood Escape Talisman.” In the current level of the Artifact Shop, Xu Ming could buy all treasures not higher than the Inner Training level; and the Blood Escape Talisman for Inner Training martial artists was also within this category.

After reading the introduction, Xu Ming couldn't help but nod: “It's indeed a life-saving weapon! Once activated by an Inner Training martial artist, even a Connate expert would only feel a blur before their eyes and lose track of them; only a Core Formation realm super expert could track them.”

A Core Formation realm super expert chasing after an Inner Training martial artist? — This situation basically doesn't need to be considered.

“Price: 10,000 Hanging Points, not expensive!”

Ten thousand Hanging Points was just one hundred thousand taels of gold.

A treasure like the Blood Escape Talisman, which you couldn't buy even if you had money, would be snatched up even if it cost a million taels!

After all, with a Blood Escape Talisman in hand, as long as the opponent didn't have any special methods, you could basically escape unscathed once.

A Blood Escape Talisman was a life!

Before long, Xu Ming had already entered the Lin family.

“This stealth function is really too OP!” Xu Ming shuttled among the Lin family's experts, but no one could detect his existence at all.

“Yuxin.” Walking to the front of the council hall, Lin Yubo said, “To get the Hidden Thorn Organization to kill someone in the Savage Martial Manor, the price will definitely be high. Like this, you first go to the family treasure vault and take out…three hundred Lower-Grade Profound Stones!”

Three hundred Lower-Grade Profound Stones was equivalent to thirty million taels of gold!

“Three hundred!?” Lin Yuxin was shocked by this number, “Three hundred is more than half of our Lin family's Profound Stone savings!”

If this money was spent, even if Xu Ming was really killed, the Lin family would definitely feel a great pain.

These Profound Stones didn't fall from the sky, but were accumulated by the Lin family over decades. Usually, they would have to carefully consider spending one or two; but now, they had to spend three hundred in one go!

The other elders twitched their lips, but ultimately said nothing.

The elders felt the pain of losing the Profound Stones, but how could Lin Yubo, as the family head, not feel the pain?

On the contrary, Lin Yubo's pain was only greater than that of the elders!

“Let's just do it this way!” Lin Yubo sighed, “The First Prince said that Xu Ming is worth this price!”

Lin Yuxin helplessly walked towards the treasure vault. He understood that at the current stage, the Lin family must unhesitatingly follow in the footsteps of the First Prince; in this way, if the First Prince successfully ascended the throne in the future, their Lin family would naturally rise to a higher level.

Therefore, not to mention just more than half of the Profound Stones, even if it was all the Profound Stones, Lin Yuxin could only grit his teeth and take them out.

“Going to the treasure vault!” Xu Ming's eyes lit up, and he followed Lin Yuxin excitedly.

“I'm just going to see what the Lin family's treasure vault looks like, just looking, really!” Xu Ming's eyes narrowed involuntarily into wicked crescent shapes again.

“Hahahaha, Lin family treasure vault, I'm here to…see you!”

The treasure vault, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the most important place in a family.

The Lin family's treasure vault was located inside the artificial mountain in the back garden, protected by layers upon layers of formations. This protective formation seemed to be no less than the formation pagoda of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion that Xu Ming had seen.

In this kind of place, even a Connate Perfect expert would find it difficult to break in by force.

Lin Yuxin took out a few strangely shaped treasures and threw them on the formation eyes; then, he used Connate Profound Qi to control the treasures, rotating them at different speeds, as if he was turning a key.

Crack!

A gap appeared in the formation, leading directly to the opening on the artificial mountain, which was the entrance to the treasure vault.

Lin Yuxin flashed into the formation, while Xu Ming followed closely behind.

As soon as he entered the formation, Lin Yuxin cautiously put away the few strangely shaped treasures placed on the formation.

Entering the family treasure vault, of course, required utmost caution, allowing no room for error.

However, how could Lin Yuxin have imagined that someone had already followed him into the treasure vault, and he was completely unaware.

The treasure vault was not large, only about three zhang (ten meters) square, but it was filled with a dazzling array of treasures: weapons, elixirs, cultivation techniques, materials, gold…

Each type of treasure also had a formation seal; obviously, even if someone managed to sneak in, it wouldn't be easy to take away the treasures.

“This is the foundation of a large family!” This visit to the Lin family's treasure vault was quite an eye-opener for Xu Ming, “The Lin family has so many resources, but they never flaunt them; even the 'living expenses' for direct descendants like Lin Muqing are restricted quite strictly.”

At this time, Lin Yuxin took out another strange treasure, put it on the formation storing the Profound Stones, and twisted it.

The formation was removed, and the rich Connate Profound Qi emanating from the Profound Stones immediately rushed out.

Lin Yuxin seemed to have been prepared for this, greedily inhaling these pure Connate Profound Qi, his face full of enjoyment. What he liked to open the most was the formation storing the Profound Stones; each time, he could always inhale a few mouthfuls of Connate Profound Qi, benefiting greatly.

Sometimes, Lin Yuxin really wanted to impulsively roll up these Profound Stones and run away.

However, he was born and raised in the Lin family, and all his relatives were here; if he ran away alone, what would be the point of having so many Profound Stones? — The family valued Lin Yuxin's character, so they could safely entrust him with the management of the family treasure vault.

“Three hundred…”

Lin Yuxin began to count, counting with utmost concentration, afraid of counting one too many.

Ever since the formation storing the Profound Stones was opened, Xu Ming's eyes had been fixed on them, never moving away.

“At a rough glance, there are more than five hundred. Among them, the quality of about ten seems to be significantly better than the other Profound Stones!”

Xu Ming didn't know that these better quality ones were Middle-Grade Profound Stones; one was worth ten Lower-Grade Profound Stones!

“Uh, well, that, the visit is over, I've broadened my horizons, so next…” Xu Ming's eyes once again unknowingly narrowed into wicked…

To snatch the Profound Stones from the unsuspecting Lin Yuxin, Xu Ming felt that it wouldn't be difficult.

Xu Ming took out his spear and aimed it at the back of Lin Yuxin's head.

As long as this spear went down, Lin Yuxin's head would immediately explode like a watermelon, dead beyond dead.

However…

Xu Ming shook his head and put away his spear: “I don't really have much hatred with this Lin Yuxin; moreover, he even helped me open the Lin family treasure vault…”

Xu Ming thought for a while, and couldn't bear to kill him.

But immediately afterwards, Xu Ming had an iron hammer in his hand, bought from the Artifact Shop.

“Since I can't bear to kill him, then I'll just knock him unconscious!” Xu Ming thought, “Moreover, I still have to rely on him to take me out of the treasure vault later!”

The Lin family treasure vault wasn't a place where Xu Ming could come and go as he pleased; he still needed someone to help him open the door.

“Then…” Xu Ming raised the hammer and once again aimed at the back of Lin Yuxin's head.

Lin Yuxin felt a chill for no reason.

He frowned and glanced around: “Strange, why do I suddenly have an ominous premonition?”
