Chapter 9, The Treasure Vault

"Aunt, you need not worry. That Chen Yueyang is merely a clown, not worth mentioning. As for the Chen family, we need not fear them either, for it won't be long before our Huang family produces a powerful figure in the Yuan Dan realm. At that time, neither the Su family nor the Chen family will be a concern." Huang Yu smiled and explained

"Master, you can rest assured, there will be no problems," Lulu said

"This won't do," said my aunt. "Only the Huang family's bloodline can activate it. What if I don't have a single drop of blood to activate it? Wouldn't that expose us?" Huang Yu replied irritably

"Just a drop of blood will do," Lulu said irritably

Huang Yuwen was taken aback and asked, "Aunt, why aren't you going in?"

The secret chamber, I did not expect that the Huang family has another hidden chamber for treasures, I wonder what valuable items it contains

"Lulu, Lulu, come out quickly, your master is in trouble." Huang Yu hurriedly sought Lulu's help, as only she could find a way to resolve the current issue

I am about to open the Huang family's treasure vault, but it requires a blood sacrifice. What should I do now?" Huang Yu said

At this moment, Huang Yu was extremely excited, not expecting to encounter such a situation at hetushu.com. The dark room should be the Huang family's long-standing collection, the most important place for the Huang family. Without a doubt, there would be plenty of gold, silver, jewelry, and jade necklaces, and it is also possible that there are spirit stones, which would be unknown. If there are spirit stones, then he would become prosperous.

Zhao Wan'er picked up a lamp, pushed open the dark door, and revealed a narrow stone staircase leading downward

"Really? Are you saying that I am that Huang Yu? No, it should be my body, which is that Huang Yu's body?" Huang Yu responded, "Still not right. If I am that Huang Yu, then where did my fruit knife come from? And my clothes?"

This matter, in short, is difficult to articulate. Just let your blood flow, there is no problem. Alright, I am very tired. Master, you can take care of your own affairs; I am going to sleep now. Upon hearing this, Lulu spoke ambiguously, gently patted her lips, yawned, and then transformed into a beam of white light, disappearing before Huang Yu's eyes

"Not bad, I am quite lucky to have actually unearthed a piece of spiritual stone," Huang Yu said with a smile

Indeed, I have obtained a piece of spiritual stone in our Huang family's original warehouse. If Huang He-Tu-Shu absorbs this spiritual stone, he will be able to break through to the Yuan Dan realm. At that time, with a Yuan Dan realm expert guarding our Huang family, who would dare to have designs on us.

At that moment, Huang Yu turned around and noticed that Zhao Wan'er had not come in, and hurriedly called out: "Aunt, please come in quickly"

Blood drop? Huang Yu hesitated somewhat, wondering if he was indeed that Huang Yu. He felt rather confused; what if he wasn't? If he were to drop this single drop of blood, wouldn't that expose him? That would be troublesome, as who knows what might happen.

"Xiao Yu, this matter cannot be disclosed before Huang Lao makes a breakthrough, nor can it be too ostentatious," Zhao Wan'er said, shaking her head with some concern.

The stone chamber was filled with large boxes. Huang Yu walked in and opened one, and in an instant, golden light burst forth, revealing it to be filled with gold, jewels, jade, and precious stones. Upon closer inspection, there were many such boxes, occupying at least half of the stone chamber. The chamber was not large, but not small either, measuring approximately fifty square meters. This was undoubtedly a tremendous fortune. Such wealth could rival that of a small country; it was truly remarkable, indeed.

"Master, I was sleeping so soundly, what is it that you need?" Lulu said lazily

Lulu was unwilling to speak, and Huang Yu had no way to compel her. However, he believed that she would not deceive him, so he extended his right hand, gently bit his index finger, and let a drop of blood fall onto the stone platform.

"You are the head of the Huang family; only the head of the family is allowed to enter here. My presence here already constitutes a violation of family rules," Zhao Wan'er said, shaking her head.

Zhao Wan'er stood up and said to Huang Yu, "Come with me."

After the stone platform absorbed Huang Yu's blood, it emitted a yellow light and then sank down. Once the stone platform had descended, a rustling sound was heard, and the stone door opened.

You know, that's enough. Zhao Wan'er nodded in satisfaction, saying, Since you have grown up and become more understanding, there are some matters of the Huang family that you should be made aware of

Huang Yu smiled, stepped forward, and took Zhao Wan'er’s hand, saying: "It’s nothing to worry about. Besides, I am now the head of the Huang family, and what I say goes." After saying this, disregarding Zhao Wan'er’s objections, he pulled her into the stone chamber.

"Xiao Yu, you have been too reckless. Now that you have offended Chen Yueyang, he will definitely seek revenge. The Huang family and I have already fallen from grace; how can we withstand the blows from the Chen family? Moreover, Chen Yueyang is a despicable person who will stop at nothing. I am worried that he will harm you," Zhao Wan'er said with a tone of concern.

"You need to drop a drop of your blood on it." Zhao Wan'er pointed to a stone platform in front of the stone door, which bore ancient patterns that appeared somewhat blurred

Although these gold, silver, and jewels are valuable, Huang Yu does not regard them highly. What Huang Yu desires most are spirit stones, followed by cultivation techniques. Of course, as a family of jade and stone, the Huang family has its patriarch, who is a Stone King, so it is certain that the Huang family possesses the inheritance of eye techniques; otherwise, becoming a Stone King would not be an easy feat.

"Indeed, only the bloodline of the Huang family can unlock this," Zhao Wan'er said

Zhao Wan'er was taken aback upon hearing this: "A Yuan Dan Realm expert? Could it be... could it be that Elder Huang is about to break through?"

"You go in, I will wait outside," Zhao Wan'er said at that moment

Huang Yu followed closely behind Zhao Wan'er and soon arrived in the study. After closing the door, Zhao Wan'er approached a bookshelf, moved aside a stack of books at the bottom, revealing a hidden compartment. Inside the compartment was a knob, and as Zhao Wan'er gently turned it, a rustling sound was heard, and the bookshelf was pushed aside, revealing a secret door.

"This truly is a blessing from heaven; your grandfather can rest in peace now. " Zhao Wan'er looked at Huang Yu with joy, "Xiao Yu, you have done very well. If Old Huang can break through to the Yuan Dan realm, our Huang family will be free from worries."

Understood. Zhao Wan'er’s words are not without reason. If Huang Dashu fails to make a breakthrough, or if he is disturbed by someone, leading to failure, wouldn’t that be disastrous? It seems I have been too complacent.

This staircase is not long, and one quickly reaches the bottom

"Spirit Stone?" Zhao Wan'er exclaimed in delight, for she certainly understood the significance of the Spirit Stone

Be careful

By the way, Aunt, if you encounter someone like Chen Yueyang again in the future, do not hold back; just drive them away. Even though Grandfather is no longer with us, the Huang family does not fear anyone. The Huang family remains the Huang family of Liulin Town, and no one can bully us. Huang Yu recalled Chen Yueyang's smug face and felt quite displeased. If it weren't for Huang Dashu still not having broken through to the Yuan Dan realm, he would have truly wanted to incapacitate Chen Yueyang. That guy actually thought he could aspire to something beyond his reach, not even considering what kind of person he is.
