After finding an opportunity to retrieve Purple Fire into his beast ring and settling Qing Lin, Mo Yu also turned his attention to the Mo family's treasury.
Mo Yu had no intention of establishing a power right now, so he wasn't interested in the Cultivation Techniques, Dou Techniques, and Medicinal Pills collected by the Mo family. However, he desperately needed high-level Demonic Beast cores.
According to the prior arrangement with the Ye family, Mo Yu was entitled to forty percent of the Mo family's treasury. Although Mo Yu was just one person, the entire Ye family raised no objections. Everyone knew whose efforts were responsible for the Ye family's ability to replace the Mo family.
Led by Ye Fan, Mo Yu and Ye Cong arrived at the Mo family's back mountain.
After traversing a short mountain path, they soon stopped outside a cave entrance. Standing there, they could faintly discern some lamplight emanating from within the cave. On the stone walls surrounding the cave, there were drawings of Demonic Beast patterns, which looked fierce and awe-inspiring, but such ineffective intimidation was naturally useless against Ye Fan and the others.
Ye Fan walked at the forefront. Among the few, his Dou Ling strength was the most formidable, and his entanglement with Mo Cheng hadn't consumed much of his energy. Now, entering the cave, it was unknown if there were any traps, so having him go first was the safest option.
Inside the cave was a long stone staircase that extended into the faint darkness below, its end out of sight. On the surrounding mountain walls, some moonstones emitting a faint glow were embedded, gradually dispelling the darkness within the cave.
The group slowly descended the stone staircase. After about ten minutes, they finally reached the end, where a tightly shut, heavy stone door appeared before them.
The stone door was entirely black, covered with some moss, subtly conveying a sense of profound weight.
Seeing this, Old Master Ye smiled faintly. His withered hand slowly pressed onto the stone door, and then his eyes suddenly sharpened. A majestic Dou Qi, powerful enough to split mountains and crack stones, surged out like lightning along his arm, finally smashing heavily onto the stone door with a thunderous roar.
"Bang!"
Amidst flying debris, the stone door was instantly covered in cracks, then with a bang, it collapsed, and a blinding light abruptly shot out from within.
As the strong light burst forth, everyone's eyes instinctively narrowed slightly. Immediately, Mo Yu's expression changed slightly, and a soft exclamation escaped his lips: "Old Master Ye, be careful!"
No sooner had Mo Yu's cry fallen than a foul wind shot out from behind the stone door, its ferocious force directly assailing Ye Fan, who was at the very front.
"Hmph!"
The sudden turn of events did not cause Ye Fan any alarm. With a cold snort, his treasured sword flashed with white light, and a powerful Sword Qi instantly emerged. He then swung it fiercely forward, and a sharp whistling sound echoed through the cave.
"Bang!"
As the Sword Qi struck, a wave-like surge of strong wind erupted, smashing into the incoming object. Mo Yu and the others then heard a mournful shriek, and the huge figure violently shot back, finally crashing heavily onto the ground.
Having repelled the sneak attacker with a single blow, Ye Fan wielded his Six Harmony Taixu Sword again. As Sword Qi whistled, it dispelled all the dust in front of him, revealing the space behind the stone door.
What appeared before Mo Yu and the others was a rather spacious storeroom. Inside the storeroom, the lights were extremely dazzling. The storeroom's surroundings were entirely constructed from hard Mo Steel Stone. At a glance, it seemed as if this storeroom had been forcibly carved out of a Mo Steel Stone mine.
There were many shelves in the storeroom, and on the shelves, scrolls were neatly arranged. On the other side, there were quite a few crystal cabinets, and within the cabinets, various rare medicinal herbs could be vaguely seen carefully placed.
His gaze slowly swept across the storeroom, and then Mo Yu and the others' eyes stopped on the huge wolf-shaped Demonic Beast in a nearby corner. Clearly, it was the previous assailant.
What was strange was that the front half of this wolf was wolf-shaped, while the back half was a coiled snake tail. Clearly, this wolf had also been transplanted!
"A Peak Great Dou Master Rank Demonic Beast dares to ambush this old man," Ye Fan said with a faint smile as he slowly walked into the storeroom, glancing at the strange Demonic Beast that was coiled up and snarling at them.
"It must be the guardian here," Mo Yu also frowned. This Mo family was truly crazy; they even researched third-order magical beasts. It must have taken a lot of effort.
His gaze merely swept over the Demonic Beast before turning to the storeroom. Upon seeing the numerous scrolls, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "As an old power that has existed for so many years, these collections are not worth mentioning."
"These have all been sorted and graded," Ye Fan said with a pleasant smile as he approached a bookshelf, looking at the words "Yellow Rank Advanced" inscribed on the shelf.
Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques, as objects of pursuit for all Dou Fighters on the Fighting Qi Continent, are the foundation for establishing a power. And now, the Mo family's decades of accumulated collection would now belong to his Ye family.
Mo Yu didn't care for the Cultivation Techniques, but the Ye family greatly needed them. If they could successfully assimilate the Cultivation Techniques obtained from the Mo family, it wouldn't be impossible for the number of Ye family experts to double.
"Patriarch Ye, I'm not interested in these Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques. How about converting my share entirely into Demonic Beast cores?" Mo Yu pointed to another corner, where various Demonic Beast cores of different Ranks were piled up.
At the very top, there was even a deep red Demonic Beast core, which was clearly a fourth-order Demonic Beast core.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cong pondered for a moment, then nodded. Although Demonic Beast cores were also precious, for the Ye family, Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques were essential. Exchanging with Mo Yu was not a loss.
Mo Yu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping around, and then he walked directly towards the depths of the storeroom. He couldn't be bothered with ordinary Profound Rank Dou Techniques or even Cultivation Techniques. He was somewhat curious to see if the Mo family had anything in its collection that would surprise even him.
"Roar!"
Seeing Mo Yu and the others brazenly searching the storeroom, the giant wolf-snake covered in green fur immediately coiled itself up. With a roar, it flicked its snake tail, generating immense force that swept fiercely towards Mo Yu and the others.
"Swish!"
Before it could even approach its target, a white Sword Qi flashed. Ye Fan simply waved his single hand, and the Sword Qi of the Six Harmony Taixu Sword instantly cut through the giant wolf's throat like a blade.
Mo Yu paid no mind to the death of the giant wolf-snake beast. He kept walking forward, and before he knew it, he had reached the bookshelf at the far end of the storeroom.
The area around this bookshelf was not unprotected like the other bookshelves. Around it, there was a faint light barrier. The rich energy faintly emanating from within the light barrier caused a hint of surprise to flash in Mo Yu's eyes. Good things truly had to be unique.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Mo Yu did not rush to forcibly break the light barrier. His gaze slowly swept around the bookshelf, then paused on a few simple characters on the bookshelf.
"Transplantation Technique Handbook!"
