Chapter 133 The Celestial Bureau's Warehouse: Food Supplies for the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldro
The underground air-raid shelter of the Jiangnan Astronomical Bureau.
This place was originally a nuclear shelter built during the Cold War, but it was later transformed by the Observatory into the highest-level material warehouse in the Jiangnan region.
The two-meter-thick lead-acid explosion-proof door slowly slid open to both sides.
A strong aroma of medicine, metallic engine oil, and some indescribable earthy smell wafted towards me.
Lu Yuan put his hands in his pockets and followed Shen Qingci inside.
Lin Zhen, like a dutiful security captain, lagged behind by half a body length, even his breathing was very soft.
"Mr. Lu, this is the culmination of thirty years of research by the Astronomical Bureau throughout the Jiangnan region."
Shen Qingci pointed to the endless alloy shelves in front of her.
"On the left is the medicinal herb section, where all wild medicinal herbs over three hundred years old are kept. On the right is the special minerals and unidentified meteorite section. The innermost separate vault contains some antiques that even the headquarters' technical department cannot analyze."
She handed over a tablet computer with both hands.
"Here is a detailed catalog. Whatever you need, I'll have it packed up immediately."
Lu Yuan did not answer the tablet.
Even though his Mahayana stage divine sense was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao chains, it was more than enough to cover this underground warehouse of several thousand square meters.
His divine sense swept across the rows of shelves like ripples on water.
The Earth's spiritual energy has been severely depleted.
Those so-called "thousand-year-old snow lotus" and "five-hundred-year-old He Shou Wu" that the Celestial Bureau regarded as priceless treasures and covered with bulletproof glass, in Lu Yuan's eyes, contained spiritual energy as thin as a ton of water mixed with inferior rice wine.
Fortunately, the quantity is large.
"On the third shelf, there's a wild ginseng that looks like an old tree root, and on the seventh shelf, there's a Ganoderma lucidum in a jade box."
Lu Yuan casually mentioned a few positions.
"Take this and boil it together with the dragon tendon from earlier. If it's not cooked long enough, use a pressure cooker, but don't let the medicinal properties dissipate."
Lin Zhen quickly grabbed a small notebook and jotted it down, then ran off to get the things.
Lu Yuan continued walking deeper into the warehouse.
He came here today not only to prepare medicine for his sister, but more importantly, to find some food for the "big eater" deep inside the storage ring.
The Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron.
This natal magic weapon, which had accompanied him through countless ages in the cultivation world, was severely damaged while traversing the void, and its spirit fell into a deep slumber.
To truly establish a foothold on this spiritually revitalized Earth, relying solely on physical strength to withstand nuclear bombs will not result in death, but each instance will trigger the backlash of the Heavenly Dao Life-Stealing Curse.
He needs to awaken the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron, even if it's just a wisp of a phantom.
"Mr. Lu, the area ahead is a high-radiation zone."
Shen Qingci watched as Lu Yuan walked straight towards a closed iron gate in the far corner and spoke up to remind him.
"Inside are several meteorites retrieved from the uninhabited area of the Taklamakan Desert. The radiation levels are hundreds of times higher than normal; an ordinary person would experience genetic mutations if they stayed inside for just one minute."
Lu Yuan didn't even touch the doorknob.
He raised his foot and kicked the heavy iron door.
boom!
The iron gate, frame and all, was kicked into the warehouse and slammed against the wall with a loud bang.
Shen Qingci's stomach churned unexpectedly. She instinctively clenched her teeth, watching Lu Yuan walk into the radiation chamber flashing red warning lights as if he were walking into his own backyard.
In the center of the warehouse.
There were three huge stones with pitted surfaces and a faint green glow.
Each stone is as big as a small car.
"nice one."
Lu Yuan stepped forward and reached out to touch the rough surface of the meteorite in the very center.
Under the detection of Earth's scientific instruments, this is a deadly source of gamma rays. But in Lu Yuan's perception, these three stones contain an extremely rich aura of "Stellar Essence Gold".
Although it contained an absurd number of impurities, it was barely enough to repair the legs of the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron.
Together with the Void Stone that I smuggled from the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, it was quite a nice appetizer.
"I'm taking these three stones."
Lu Yuan turned to look at Shen Qingci, who was standing outside the door, too afraid to come in.
"Mr. Lu, please feel free to do as you please."
Shen Qingci nodded without hesitation. Old Li had given a firm order: let alone three broken stones, even if Lu Yuan wanted to demolish the entire air-raid shelter, the Skywatch Bureau would have to help by handing over the hammer.
Lu Yuan placed his left hand on the meteorite.
Within his sea of consciousness, that faint trace of Qi Refining stage true essence was circulating wildly.
"receive."
Swish!
Three massive meteorites, each weighing over ten tons, vanished into thin air.
Shen Qingci's mouth was slightly open, and the light and shadow in her eyes flickered violently. The noisy background noise around her vanished completely in that instant.
She knew that cultivators possessed the ability to reduce an object to the size of a mustard seed, but witnessing such a massive object vanish in an instant was still so shocking and illogical that it briefly stunned her.
Just then.
Suddenly, the specially encrypted phone in Shen Qingci's trench coat pocket emitted an extremely piercing buzzing sound.
This is the highest-level red alert issued by the Astronomical Observatory.
She frantically pulled out her phone and answered the call.
I only listened for less than five seconds.
Shen Qingci's back straightened abruptly. Her previously composed face visibly lost its color, turning as pale as paper.
"What happened?"
Lu Yuan dusted off his hands and walked out of the radiation storage room.
Shen Qingci's fingers, gripping the phone, had a thin layer of skin protruding from their knuckles, and the force was so great that the muscles in her entire forearm were twitching silently.
"Mr. Lu... something has happened in the capital."
She swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva.
"Just ten minutes ago, five reclusive elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance suddenly announced their emergence from seclusion. They joined forces to break the 'tribute contract' with secular clans and forcibly took over most of the capital's defenses."
"and......"
Shen Qingci glanced at Lu Yuan's expressionless face, her voice trembling and changing tone.
"The Asia-Pacific CEO of the S.H.I.E.L.D. has secretly arrived in Beijing with twelve S-class mutants. They have reached some kind of agreement with the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance."
"They announced that in three days, they will hold a public trial at the Kyoto Martial Arts Arena for those who 'betrayed the martial arts world.'"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Whom will be tried?"
"Ye Qingcheng".
Shen Qingci stared intently at the ground.
"They say that Ye Qingcheng is willing to be a dog for a heretic, disgracing the ancient martial arts world. They want to strip Ye Qingcheng naked, hang her on the martial arts platform, and strike her to death with a heavenly lightning array. If that 'heretic' dares to go to save her, he will never return."
Lu Yuan smiled.
He rarely smiled. When he did, it meant that someone would not even have ashes left.
"Hang up my foot-washing maid and chop her to death?"
Lu Yuan took out the rusty iron sword from his Nine Heavens Storage Ring and flicked the blade lightly with his finger.
The crisp sound of swords echoed in the underground air-raid shelter, carrying a chilling aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"Three days is too long."
Lu Yuan looked in the direction of the capital.
"Arrange a plane. I'll go teach them what real thunder is."
