Caspian understood the way of the rise of the White family, and at the same time, understood what dilemma they were facing now.
The existence of the void crack represented a great opportunity coexisting with danger. The White family benefited from this, as well as the descendants. And the most admirable thing was that they didn’t only focus on developing their own families. After their family grew up and their cultivators became strong, they were able to shoulder the safety of a city.
“Now the White family has been weak for many years. Finally, someone can’t stand it and wants to touch it…” Caspian sighed.
“Yes.” A look of shame and indignation appeared on Que White’s face. “Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough to protect the void crack left by my ancestor…”
“By the way,” Caspian asked, “Does the Limit Gate know about the existence of the void crack?”
“They know that my White family has a channel for obtaining heaven materials and earth treasures, but they don’t know that this channel is a void crack. This secret is only known to the White family’s senior executives. According to their tone, they seemed to think that the White family knew the location of a certain secret realm and wanted the White family to hand over the secret realm to them…”
“They’re thinking too well… If we hand over the void crack to them, not only should the White family move away, but if they are careless and trigger the space storm in the crack, it will cause the crack to become unstable and even expand. Let alone this area of more than ten acres, the whole Same Spirit City may be swallowed up.” Que White sneered as if he was laughing at the greed and ignorance of the Limit Gate.
Then, he made a gesture to Caspian. “Master Montgomery, please come here. I’ll take you to see the White family’s current stock. Let’s talk about the rest while walking…”
The treasury where the White family placed the Heaven materials and Earth Treasures was next to the courtyard. The door of the treasury was square and seemed to be made of molten iron. There was not even a crack.
Que White stepped forward and put his hand on it. After a while, circles of ripples appeared on the door. At the same time, Caspian felt waves of spiritual Qi.
“It seems to be a gate, but in fact, it’s a Transmitting Formation…” Caspian immediately saw through the mystery of it, and there was a look of appreciation in his eyes. “That means the treasure house is not in the White family building. The ancestor of the White family is really thoughtful…”
Caspian’s praise and eyesight made Que White feel as if he had seen a bosom friend and was proud of it.
“Yes, our ancestor did think so.” Que White invited Caspian into the treasure house and explained at the same time, “The transmission formation engraved on the door, if it was not for the personnel designated by the White family, no one else could activate it…”
“In this way, even if someone broke in, they didn’t know the secret. They broke the door of the treasure house by force, and what they saw was only an empty room. They didn’t know what the White family was hiding at all. In fact, they were all elsewhere.”
While they were talking, they had passed through the transmission formation.
Although it was still a room, Caspian could feel that he was not in the Treasure Vault that he had seen before. There were many wooden racks placed in the White family Treasure Vault. Obviously, no one had entered the treasure house for a long time.
There was a layer of visible dust floating on the ground and the wooden frame.
A look of shame and nostalgia appeared in Que White’s eyes. However, he quickly calmed down and led Caspian to a corner of the Treasure House.
He pointed to a wooden rack and said, “Master Montgomery, the treasures that the White family currently has that can improve the elemental property are all here…”
Caspian looked in the direction that the other party pointed and immediately saw pieces of minerals of different colors, which were as big as adult’s fists and as small as quail eggs. They were shining with colors and neatly placed on the shelf.
The total number was probably around twenty pieces. However, the moment he saw these minerals, Caspian felt an aura different from the natural precious materials in the past.
After staring for a while, Caspian looked at Que White and said, “Is this what your clansmen brought out from the void crack?”
Caspian nodded and glanced at the ores.
After asking, Caspian’s guess was confirmed by Que White. There were a total of eight colors to the minerals, which corresponded to the eight elemental essences.
Right now, there were only six types of minerals. The reason was, of course, that two of them had already been completely used up. Although Que White said that in order to show their sincerity, Caspian could take away the remaining 20 pieces of minerals left by the White family, but Caspian only took two pieces in the end.
