Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

In all his years of guarding the treasure vault, he had never received such a bizarre order.

He carefully examined the young man in front of him, but since the young man's face was covered by a black mask, he couldn't tell whether he looked like the Eight Heavenly Venerable.

"Please come with me!"

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable's order was not forged in the slightest, which naturally caused his attitude towards the young man in front of him to undergo a 180-degree change.

With a warm smile, he guided Mo Shang into the hall, as if the black-clad man who had just exuded a chilling killing intent was not him at all.

"Young man, you look unfamiliar. May I ask which lord you serve under?"

On the way, the Soul Palace expert cautiously spoke up, wanting to find out Mo Shang's background.

"Senior, the Eight Heavenly Venerables forbid further discussion on this matter!"

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, this Soul Hall expert imagined a whole drama unfolding in his mind.

Mo Shang spoke softly and then said no more.

He led Mo Shang into the main hall and walked to a corner of the hall.

The powerful man placed his palm against the wall, and a dark tunnel immediately appeared on the ground in front of them:

"This is where the treasure vault of this palace is located. Please follow me, young friend!"

Seeing the dark passage ahead, Mo Shang nodded and followed the old man, stepping into it together.

In the pitch-black passage, torches automatically lit up as the two entered. However, even without the torches, with Mo Shang's current strength, they were completely unaffected by the darkness.

Following the dark passage downwards, after about half an incense stick's time, another massive stone gate appeared before them.

Chapter 286 The Treasure Vault is All Mine

"Young friend, please. This is the treasure vault of this palace. Apart from the token in your hand, no one else can enter."

The Soul Palace expert led Mo Shang to the outside of the stone gate. Looking at the heavy, tightly closed stone gate in front of him, he turned around and spoke to Mo Shang behind him.

Upon hearing this, Mo Shang glanced at the black jade tablet in his hand, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He then nodded without saying anything more.

Mo Shang slowly stepped forward, walked to the stone gate, looked at the heavy stone gate in front of him, and placed his palm on it to carefully sense it.

The surging spatial power activated the formation, firmly sealing the stone gate. Even a Dou Zun-level power could not force it open.

Beside the stone gate, there was a groove, the size of which was exactly similar to the token in Mo Shang's hand.

Mo Shang turned around and looked at the Soul Hall expert behind him. The expert waved to him and then pointed to the groove on the side.

Mo Shang nodded slightly and placed the black jade tablet in the groove.

As the jade tablet given to him by the Eighth Heavenly Venerable was placed into the groove, a special energy was released from the jade tablet and fell into the stone gate.

Mo Shang could then clearly feel that the spatial power within the formation was being constantly organized and surging neatly towards both sides.

"Boom!"

"Kacha!"

Immediately afterwards, the heavy stone door, which even a Dou Zun expert could not force open, gradually opened in Mo Shang's vision.

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable instructed that the resources within the treasure vault during this period should not be harmed, and that one should take or seek as one pleases.

Therefore, the Soul Hall experts behind him did not follow them in, but instead gestured to Mo Shang and remained where they were.

Seeing this, Mo Shang didn't stand on ceremony and stepped into the treasure vault.

After passing through the stone gate, Mo Shang was astonished by the supplies in the Soul Palace's treasury.

In Mo Shang's field of vision, a mountain of various materials were neatly arranged, with pills, medicinal herbs, various materials, and cultivation techniques placed in different directions.

"Over here..."

Just as Mo Shang was carefully examining the scene inside the Stone Gate Cave, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the side. Mo Shang turned around and saw a figure shrouded in a gray-brown robe appearing and disappearing inside the cave.

Just from the opponent's aura, one can sense their strength; they are at least a five-star Dou Zun.

"I've met senior!"

Mo Shang bowed respectfully to the other party, but received no response whatsoever. The other party simply continued speaking to himself:

"You may take any cultivation resources within the treasure vault. However, you may not take them away or damage them. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"

The old man seemed to have not spoken for a long time.

The voice that spoke was very hoarse and harsh, but Mo Shang understood what the other person meant.

Following the direction the other person pointed, Mo Shang's gaze fell on the location of the medicinal herbs and pills.

"Purple Sun Thousand Herbs..."

"Black gold flint..."

"The Black-and-White Miracle Fruit........."

Mo Shang's gaze swept over the extremely rare materials. The materials he had just mentioned were practically sacred medicines for fire-attribute cultivators.

Both can greatly enhance the activity of fighting spirit within the body and strengthen the cultivator's perception of fire-attribute power.

If one were to consume these medicinal herbs before practicing fire-attribute techniques, the results would likely be twice as effective.

Moreover, considering only the ability of these medicinal herbs to enhance strength, even fire-attribute cultivators would find it hard to refuse.

"hiss......"

At this moment, Mo Shang even considered secretly killing this Soul Palace expert and then taking all the treasure from the vault.

Unfortunately, given Mo Shang's status, his current strength is simply insufficient to deal with this Soul Hall expert who is a five-star Dou Zun.

Moreover, even if he could kill the opponent silently, the people of the Soul Palace were not to be trifled with, so he would have no choice but to stay here permanently.

"Gulp..."

Thinking of this, Mo Shang could only suppress his greed.

His gaze, fixed on the mountain of rare medicinal herbs piled up inside the cave, seemed to reveal several special symbols in his eyes.

￥￥￥￥￥

Swallowing hard, Mo Shang's gaze fell once again on the mountain of medicinal herbs. Without the slightest hesitation, he walked toward the spot.

As for improving his own strength, Mo Shang had no worries whatsoever.

After all, Xiao Fan and Mo Shang are essentially the main body and the clone, and the main body's current strength has already reached the first level of Dou Zun.

Therefore, he had already achieved the various insights required at the Dou Zun realm, and as long as he had enough resources, he could break through naturally.

It's just that in the past, I didn't dare to reveal myself too much because I had only recently broken through to the Dou Zun realm.

Now, faced with the mountain of rare medicinal herbs piled up in this treasure trove, Mo Shang naturally wouldn't be polite.

Moreover, this originally belonged to the Soul Palace, and the more they consumed, the more the Soul Palace would lose.

All of this is indirectly weakening the Soul Palace's strength.

Thinking of this, Mo Shang's appetite was whetted.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Shangren looked at the protective shield containing the Purple Sun Thousand Hundred Herbs and easily took it into his hand using the black jade tablet in his hand.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the Soul Palace Dou Zun expert, Mo Shang picked up the Purple Sun Thousand Hundred Grass in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp.

"you........!"

The Dou Zun expert was shocked by Mo Shang's actions and couldn't help but cry out.

Although the Purple Sun Thousand Hundred Herbs is a rare and precious medicine for fire-attribute cultivators, its internal fire attribute is so intense that even the meridians of magical beasts may not be able to withstand it.

There is only one way for cultivators to consume such medicinal herbs: they must refine them into pills to neutralize their medicinal properties, thus maximizing their absorption of the medicinal power of the Purple Sun Thousand Herbs.

The fact that this young man so recklessly consumed the Purple Sun Thousand Herbs means that the vast fire energy within his body will likely destroy his meridians in an instant.

"boom!"

As expected, under the watchful gaze of this Dou Zun expert, Mo Shang's blazing fire-attribute energy erupted instantly.

The scorching flames instantly enveloped Mo Shang, his figure appearing and disappearing amidst the intense heat.

"Sigh, what a greenhorn!"

Upon seeing this, the Dou Zun expert guarding the treasure vault sighed slightly. He wasn't lamenting that Mo Shang's meridians were completely destroyed.

Instead, they lamented that such a sacred medicine for cultivating fire attribute had been ruined like a peony being chewed up by a cow.

But what happened the next moment made his eyes widen instantly.

"Boom~"

The flames that had enveloped Mo Shang's body gradually rose up, and then a dark flame appeared on his body and instantly enveloped him.

The terrifying amount of fire attribute power even made this Dou Zun powerhouse feel a slight chill.

"The fire element is so terrifying and so concentrated..."

These enhancements have been amplified. Looking at the figure shrouded in flames ahead, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and his opinion of this kid who had entered the treasure vault and was taking whatever he wanted changed.

The next moment, the flames enveloping Mo Shang's body slowly receded, gradually enveloping his body again.

Mo Shang felt the rich fire elemental power within his body, and a smile appeared on his lips beneath the mask, his heart filled with joy.
