Chapter 345: A Real Treasure is Often Hidden Amongst Trash

"Pure Spirit Bead? I do not believe that we have that kind of thing in our treasury." Diao Ziyun stated as she thought long and hard.

Adrian did not believe that Diao Ziyun was lying to her because it was a decree to help him without question once. He could only think that they could not identify the treasure and it is rotting in their treasury.

"Can I view your treasury?" Adrian asked which alerted all the aides of Diao Ziyun.

Even if the person in front of them is a guest, they should not just blatantly say something like that. Adrian just basically told them that he does not trust them and therefore he should check their treasury to make sure that your mistress is not lying. It is the blatant disrespect for their mistress that ire's them and not Adrian's manners.

The aide wanted to voice out their disagreement, but their mistress was not acting haughty or angry. She took her time trying to dissect the words of the guest that they have and concluded that he did not say so out of ill will but of confidence that he can find it if is presented the location.

"If our esteemed guest says so then I would not hinder you from looking at our treasury. I must say though that I have not really heard of the item you speak of. So, if you are sure that the item is at our treasury then I would implore our guest to prove his claim so that my people would not judge you harshly for entering our treasury." Diao Ziyun stated in a clear voice that managed to convince her people.

"I got to admit that she is a capable leader. She noticed the disagreement of her people and he even managed to say it to me in a nice way." Adrian thought.

Adrian nodded and summoned his mirror psyche armament. He did not want to summon the other armaments because they might think he would attack them due to how lethal looking the others are. Diao Ziyun then saw the mirror and she was shocked for a split second but returned to her casually smiling face.

"This mirror should be familiar with your clan because it is what I requested to find when I asked you late clan head." Adrian stated as the mirror psyche armament started to glow in a bluish white light.

The mirror psyche armament then darted away to a a certain location without Adrian's control as if attracted by something. Adrian then asked Diao Ziyun to follow it with him because he does not want to be rude and act like he owns the place. He rode Sirius while Diao Ziyun conjured a butterfly made of shadows to use as transport.

The mirror looked like a monster because of the demonic eye that keeps looking around. It scared some of the residents, but they did not dare attack it for fear for retaliation and that their mistress is already following it. The mirror then naturally flowed towards the grandest structure inside the mountain.

"That is my abode. I think it really is going towards the treasury." Diao Ziyun stated and Adrian nodded.

The mirror then went inside the manor and only Adrian and Diao Ziyun followed while the aides guarded the entrance. They wanted to come with their mistress but only she is allowed to go inside the treasury unless she permits other to come inside. The mirror psyche armament stopped in front of a large wooden door sealed by four large pillars.

"This is the treasury door. Wait as I open it." Diao Ziyun stated as she moved in front of the treasury door.

Diao Ziyun then conjured up four butterflies with four different colors. The four butterflies also had different attributes symbolizing fire, wind, earth and water. The red butterfly symbolizing fire flew up to the highest beam. The blue butterfly symbolizing water flew towards the second beam. The gray butterfly symbolizing wind flew towards the third beam. The green butterfly symbolizing earth flew to the last beam.

When the butterflies touched each of the beams, they scattered into flickers of light, but the beams glowed into the four different colors corresponding to the butterfly that landed on them. Each of the beams then started disintegrating as the elements ate them up. After one minute, the door is no longer blocked, and it opened in a slow manner.

Diao Ziyun then led the way inside with Adrian following behind her. The treasury of the Heihudie Clan is nothing to scoff at as all manner of different artifacts are just scattered about. The artifacts are not even organized if they are below epic.

"It has been this way for ages as the list of the items has rotted away after being mishandled. I just hope that you can find whatever it is you are looking for." Diao Ziyun stated.

Adrian then tried to expand his senses, but he could only feel a faint tug. His mirror psyche armament then glowed brighter than ever. Something a little bit far away then resonated with the mirror psyche armament. The light came from a faraway pile that was just full of rubbish artifacts according to Diao Ziyun.

Adrian then carefully searched the pile and found a bead with a butterfly insignia. Adrian then inspected the bead and he smiled immediately because he found the thing that he was looking for.

"Who knew that the thing I needed the most is actually hiding in a pile of garbage." Adrian muttered as he appraised the item.

Item: Pure Spirit Bead

Type: Quest Item

"I remember that bead because my mother invited me inside the treasury once and told me that it is considered junk because they could not even harness its power. It was just given as a gift to us because of the butterfly insignia that reminds every person of our clan." Diao Ziyun stated.

Adrian touched the bead and a shockwave of energy was released with his body as an epicenter. All of his psyche armaments then came out of his body and rotated around Adrian as the Pure Spirit Bead collected mana from Adrian.
