Chapter 547: Chapter 546: Heirloom of the Brave - Bone of the Brave

[Name]: S-grade Energy Crystal·Fire

[Attribute]: Fire

[Quality]: ★★★★

[Status]: Intact

[Function]: Highly pure energy potion.

[Description]: A highly pure crystal refined as a strategic reserve, it has the advantage of being volatile-resistant and can be quickly dissolved into energy potions when necessary.

The silver room, full of a sense of technology, was divided by glass walls into dozens of areas, each neatly storing the crystalline fire-type energy crystals. The red crystals reflected brilliant halos under the lights, making Shao Zifeng dizzy.

Bang!

He closed the door, and on the doorplate was clearly engraved "Energy·Fire (1)".

Shao Zifeng stood outside the door, pausing for a moment. This was his first time seeing something more advanced than the Type VIII energy potions, and the amount was so massive, not to mention that this was just the first storage room.

Thinking about this, he turned to look at the next room, which was "Energy·Fire (2)" storage room, and such rooms here were countless.

The reason he said this was because the treasury was different from what he had imagined. The entire treasury was like a large, underground corridor with numerous rooms densely distributed on both sides.

Standing there, he glanced around, the metal-feeling dark silver walls reflecting the light. One couldn’t even see the end of the corridor.

He briefly glanced at the first few rooms in front of him, all hosting energy crystals of various attributes. Shao Zifeng didn’t plan to waste his time here and continued to walk deeper into the corridor.

Next, he encountered several Tomb Guardian Beasts of different forms, including fierce beast-like creatures, bizarre animal-human hybrids, and even a silly snake-like creature sticking out a long human tongue. Surprisingly, no two were alike.

As for their eras, they spanned from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Sui and Tang dynasties, with each dynasty’s mutant attributes greatly differing. Compared to the early Tomb Guardian Beasts that leaned towards mysterious witchcraft, those from the Sui and Tang dynasties appeared more majestic and grand, possibly related to the cultural styles of each dynasty.

Fortunately, he had a token in hand, making his journey here relatively uneventful.

’Reserve Food’ ’Weapon Ore’ ’Medicine Reserve’

Looking at the metal door’s nameplates on both sides, Shao Zifeng didn’t know how long he had walked, accompanied only by the sound of his steps echoing in the quiet treasury.

"Halt!"

Facing a suddenly enlarging beast-like Tomb Guardian Beast, Shao Zifeng expertly raised his token.

The four-winged Tomb Guardian Beast’s eyes glittered, and its size shrank again.

After bypassing this Tang Dynasty Tomb Guardian Beast, Shao Zifeng caught sight of something bright.

’Miscellaneous Storage Room (1)’

Shao Zifeng walked up quickly and swiped his work card on the access control.

Click.

A faint locking sound echoed, and the metal door sprang open.

The layout of this storage room was basically the same as the one storing the crystals, but there were fewer items. Each glass compartment’s pedestal housed only one or a few items. From the moment he opened the door, peripheral blue lights had not stopped flickering.

No matter which direction he looked, the little lights in his periphery would provide an energy feedback.

Walking inside the storage room, the metal door automatically locked behind him.

Shao Zifeng didn’t mind and looked towards the first item on the left.

On the pedestal lay a grimy skull with a chopping mark right in the middle, yet the rest of it was not severely damaged.

Next to the skull was a metal plate detailing the origin of this bone.

’Storage number 00001: Unearthed from the Number One Grand Tomb at Changhe Beach, radiocarbon dating estimates it to be about 7000 years old. Due to the age, the remains of the tomb’s owner had decayed, except for the skull placed at the right hand position, which remains intact. It is presumed that this skull was the proudest trophy of the tomb’s owner in life. The energy detector has detected a weak energy reaction, specific function unknown.’

So, it was an unearthed artifact. After reading the introduction, Shao Zifeng immediately turned his gaze towards the skull.

The pale blue light screen slowly unfolded.

[Name]: Inheritance Item·Bone of the Brave

[Property]: None

[Quality]: ★★

[Condition]: Intact

[Function]: Able to learn the special ability ’Unyielding Will’

[Description]: The bones of a warrior who died in ancient tribal wars, whose skull was severed as a trophy. Pet beasts with Fighting skills can acquire the Inheritance Skill from the Bone of the Brave after passing a test.

This is significant.

The first item is the rare Inheritance Item, truly worthy of the national treasury.

After observing for a while longer, Shao Zifeng took out his phone to briefly describe the function of the item and clicked upload.

Imperial Capital Energy Item Research Institute.

This institute holds a lower status within the academy. Their main task is to record and study various unknown items with energy waves.

However, because of the long history of the Great Xia, ancient items unearthed from time to time need to be sent here for testing, so their work leans more towards that of quality inspectors and recorders, registering every item.

Apart from the reason that unearthed items are numerous, what’s more challenging is that each item is different, making it hard for them to spontaneously find research directions to study the functions of the items.

Of course, the Energy Item Research Institute isn’t without achievements; at least the energy potions currently in use, as well as various herbal effects, are their discoveries.

In the meeting room, the director of the institute occasionally looked down at the time.

It was now past nine in the morning, and from time to time, soft discussions could be heard in the meeting room. All the researchers looked impatiently at the blank big screen in front of them.

"Director, what exactly did you call us here for today?"

"I still have over 300 items queued up for testing."

Director Huang pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said, "Just wait a bit longer..."

Beep beep.

At that moment, characters suddenly appeared on the big screen.

"Storage Number 00001: Suspected to be an Inheritance Item for Mutant Creatures to Learn Skills."

These few words made the meeting room fall silent, everyone’s faces showed expressions of bafflement.

It’s that kind where every word is recognizable but when put together, it becomes incomprehensible.

Researcher A in a white coat: "Number 00001? If I remember correctly, it was the first energy item unearthed after the ’Unknown Recovery Incident’, right?"

Researcher B in a white coat: "Mutant creatures learning skills? What is this, a Skill Book from a game? I’m familiar with this; I just maxed out the skills for my pet in the game yesterday..."

Researcher C in a white coat, puzzled: "Stop joking, aren’t mutant creature skills only supposed to be learned from each other or comprehended during evolution?"

While everyone was discussing in low voices, the somewhat lean director stared blankly at the big screen. After a moment, his face showed a trace of excitement, and he couldn’t help his hands from trembling slightly.

Brilliant.

Why obsess over using instruments to detect the practical applications of items when we can boldly propose various impractical hypotheses and then slowly experiment with them?

But this is also a common problem among researchers from various countries; they always try to explain supernatural powers within a relatively complete scientific framework.

At that moment, Wu Tianyan walked in with Secretary Sun.

As he entered, he looked towards the big screen, a smile forming at the corners of his mouth.
