Chapter 189: Chapter 133: Thousand-Faced Demon, Cross-dressing: Zero Times or Countless Times

But it turned out to be nothing more than a Fighting Qi technique for bullying those weaker than you.

Once they realized this, they immediately lost all interest.

Aside from a few special circumstances, the Fighting Energy Seal technique was, without a doubt, practically useless.

After walking for some time through the heavily guarded underground passage, Roy and the others finally arrived before the treasury’s main door.

The thick, heavy metal door not only gave off a strong sense of security, but it also bore the clan crest of the Evil Spirit Cat Clan.

Without any hesitation, Selena took the key Harvey had just given her and inserted it into the keyhole.

As the key turned, the sound of a mechanism whirring came from within the thick metal door.

After the sound of the mechanism faded, the treasury door didn’t open. Instead, an insignia of an Evil Spirit Cat, about thirty to forty centimeters in diameter and glowing with a faint red light, materialized on its surface.

’A Secret Technique Lock?’

The moment he saw the Evil Spirit Cat insignia, the name of a Level Zero Spell, Secret Technique Lock, surfaced in Roy’s mind.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Selena and Monica were only First-class Apprentices and didn’t possess any Casting Ability.

Furthermore, if the Evil Spirit Cat insignia on the treasury door was the manifestation of a Secret Technique Lock, then no one in the Evil Spirit Cat Clan would be able to open it.

Just then, Selena turned to Roy and said softly, "After the treasury was built, a clan ancestor sought out the Imperial Guardian of that era and asked Lord Guardian to place this Witch Array on the door. It serves as both authentication and defense."

"To open the treasury door, you not only need the key, but you must also pass the Witch Array’s authentication."

After speaking, she raised her jade-white right hand and pressed it against the glowing red Evil Spirit Cat insignia.

The Evil Spirit Cat insignia flashed rhythmically a few times, then vanished.

Once the Evil Spirit Cat insignia had vanished, Selena circulated the Evil Spirit Cat Fighting Qi within her body and pulled open the twenty-to-thirty-centimeter-thick treasury door.

After opening the treasury door, Selena and Monica walked in first.

Roy followed close behind, entering the treasury with them.

The treasury wasn’t very large, only a little over a hundred square meters. Like a library, it was filled with rows upon rows of shelves.

In addition to the shelves, many boxes of various sizes were piled in the corners.

Bright Stones embedded in the surrounding walls illuminated the treasury as if it were daytime.

Bright Stones were Low-level Demonized Items, and also the most common kind.

Other than emitting light, Bright Stones had no other function.

In the Wizarding World, Bright Stones were the equivalent of oil lamps and candles.

’The treasury door has a Witch Array placed by a Level One Wizard, the interior is lit by Bright Stones, and they even have a Guiding Crystal Ball... The Evil Spirit Cat Clan is truly worthy of its status as a Silver Clan of the Sal Empire!’

Roy mused to himself.

Once inside the treasury, Selena and Monica led him to the shelves where the Breathing Techniques and Secret Techniques were stored.

Before Roy could speak, Selena continued, "The clan’s collection of Perfect Breathing Techniques isn’t very large—only twenty-something—and most of them are Bloodline Breathing Techniques."

"We have more Secret Techniques, around fifty or sixty in total."

"But only about half of those come with the Auxiliary Materials needed for proper Cultivation."

"Eagle’s Eye is one of them."

"Take a look and see if any other Secret Techniques interest you. In the meantime, I’ll get you the Auxiliary Materials for Eagle’s Eye."

Selena, unaware that Roy had already mastered Eagle’s Eye, turned and walked toward the boxes where the special materials were stored.

The very night he learned the Cultivation method for Eagle’s Eye, he had entered Chaos Square and formally begun his training in it.

Roy didn’t stop Selena. Instead, he took a Perfect Level Universal Breathing Technique Inheritance Map from a shelf.

He frowned slightly upon seeing the Extraordinary Creature depicted at the top of the Inheritance Map.

Harpies!

This was the Inheritance Map for the Harpies Breathing Technique!

Roy had never seen the Inheritance Map for the Harpies Breathing Technique before, but he had known of its existence for a long time.

The Second Son Brotherhood’s Exchange Scroll offered a total of four Perfect Level Universal Breathing Techniques for exchange.

They were the Harpies Breathing Technique, the Rock Giant Breathing Technique, the Nightmare Beast Breathing Technique, and the renowned Red Dragon Breathing Technique.

After a quick glance, Roy picked up a second Perfect Level Universal Breathing Technique Inheritance Map.

Then a third, a fourth, and a fifth!

Harpies, Rock Giant, Nightmare Beast, Scorpion-tailed Lion, Storm Griffin!

After thinking for a few seconds, Roy turned to Monica, who was standing nearby, and asked, "Are the Harpies, Rock Giant, and Nightmare Beast Breathing Techniques widely circulated throughout the Sal Empire?"

Although she didn’t know why he was asking, Monica answered without hesitation, "Not extremely widespread, but they aren’t very difficult to collect, either."

"As far as I know, almost all the Golden and Silver Clans have these three Breathing Techniques."

Hearing Monica’s answer, a thought involuntarily surfaced in Roy’s mind.

’Could the headquarters of the Second Son Brotherhood actually be right here in Storm City?’

After a moment of impassive thought, he returned the Inheritance Maps to the shelf and began browsing the ones for the Bloodline Breathing Techniques.

Soon, Roy had looked through all the remaining Bloodline Breathing Technique Inheritance Maps.

Just as he was debating whether to take all of them or only a portion, Monica spoke up. "If you’re interested in these Breathing Techniques," she said slowly, "it’s fine to take them all."
