I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Chapter 69 Generous Reward! Caught by the Empress?

Heavenly Armory?

Chen Mo had heard of it.

It was said that here resided the royal family’s accumulation of hundreds of years: various Cultivation Techniques, weapons, Spiritual Materials... countless in number, only those who made significant contributions had the privilege to enter.

Eunuch Jin stepped forward, pulling out a Yellow Decree from his sleeve; with a flash of light, the tightly closed doors automatically opened.

The two armored guards in black remained motionless from the beginning to the end.

"Hundred Households Chen, follow me."

Eunuch Jin gestured with his hand.

Chen Mo followed him into the building.

Ahead lay a long, deep corridor, lined with stone statues on either side—some were Armored Soldiers in full gear, and some were ferocious-looking Alien Beasts. Bronze wall lamps were fitted along the walls, their dim candlelight dispelling the darkness ahead.

Walking along, Chen Mo felt the fine hairs on his body slightly rise; he felt as if he was being watched.

At the end of the corridor, they passed through a semi-transparent curtain, and the view suddenly opened up—

Hundreds of Luminous Pearls hung from the dome above, illuminating the vast space; rows of ancient shelves were neatly arranged, displaying various Jade Scrolls, Spiritual Materials, treasures... an array of exquisitely dazzling items enveloped in a faint divine glow.

Inside the weapon cabinet against the wall were an array of Weapons, exuding a bone-chilling cold.

Next to it was a wooden table, and sitting in front of the table was an elder with a slightly hunched figure, dozing off with his chin propped on his hand.

His face was beardless and wrinkled; he wore a black robe without any decorative patterns.

Eunuch Jin placed the Yellow Decree on the table.

The elder’s eyelids lifted slightly, glanced at it, and said:

"First floor, half an hour, three treasures."

Chen Mo understood.

He stepped forward and began to look around.

The items on the shelves all had nameplates underneath, detailing the name, Grade, and general effects.

"Heavenly Fragrance Powder, Dormant Dragon Elixir, Spirit Spring Grass..."

"Nine Nether Palm, Heavenly Dao General Book, Earthly Star Conquering Skill..."

Even the lowest quality was of Mid-grade Dark Rank, and some had reached Earth Rank.

And this was just the first floor; the entire treasury had three floors. Wouldn’t the items above all be treasures of Earth Rank and Heaven Rank?

Others might have been dazzled by the selection, but Chen Mo remained as calm as usual.

Once bitten, twice shy...

After all, with the Empress giving Heavenly Rank Top Grade items at the wave of her hand, he had become quite particular.

Suddenly, Chen Mo’s pace halted; he saw a black round stone on the shelf in front of him—its surface was slightly rough, and the nameplate only read "Cosmic Meteorite" without further description.

He reached out and touched it, and prompt text flashed before his eyes:

"[High-grade Soul Stone: After absorption, it can greatly improve the mastery level of soul-related Cultivation Techniques.]"

"Nice find!"

Chen Mo’s eyes lit up.

Today’s events at Yangxin Palace had been a lesson for him.

Golden Eyes of Truth were useful, but if the gap with the target was too large, his Soul Power could be drained in an instant, rendering him unconscious and at the mercy of others.

Therefore, strengthening his Divine Soul became especially important.

After taking the Soul Stone, he browsed for a while and took a liking to a throwing knife.

"[Earth-grade Middle-class: Xuanling]"

The whole knife was jet-black gold, seemingly made of the same material as the staff used by Lin Jingzhu. It could be controlled with the Divine Soul, striking wherever it was directed, and it had various transformations, very Mysterious.

It perfectly compensated for his lack of long-range attack methods.

As for the third treasure...

Chen Mo’s gaze fell on a piece of silver Soft armor, which was flexible and light, with quite impressive defensive capabilities.

"[Earth-grade Middle-class: Silver Radiance Armor]"

"That’s the one."

Chen Mo picked up the three items and approached the "front desk."

"Elder, I have made my choice."

The elder didn’t even lift his eyelids and waved his hand: "The door is over there, please help yourself."

Eunuch Jin shook his head, "Let’s go."

The two retraced their steps back along the path they came.

After leaving the Heavenly Armory, the doors automatically closed.

Chen Mo was curious, "Eunuch Jin, who is... that elder?"

After all, there were no guards inside, just one elder, giving off the aura of a mysterious monk sweeping the floors of the Imperial Palace.

Eunuch Jin spoke indifferently, "Just a dead eunuch, that’s all."

"..."

Chen Mo understood.

It turns out they were all castrated.

Judging by the attitude of the remaining egg elder, his strength and status should be not weaker than Eunuch Jin’s.

The Imperial Palace indeed hid dragons and crouching tigers; in the future, he had to be more careful...
