Chapter 337 - 334 Finally Discovered the Treasure

"Put your mind at ease," Gao Fei said icily. "I won't hog it all! I'll give you some of the stuff here."

"How much are you giving me? Half?"

"Don't even think about it! At most, I'll give you... one third."

"What? One third? Are you treating me like a beggar?"

"Not happy with it?"

"Of course not! Don't forget, it was I who discovered the Immortal Palace. If it weren't for me leading you here, you would never have found it in your lifetime."

"Don't you forget, it was I who led you in here. Without me, you would never have been able to enter in your lifetime."

"You..."

"What 'you'? Am I wrong?"

"I..."

"What 'I'? Still not convinced?"

"In a word, we must split these things in half," Jiang Qilong said firmly. "Even a bit less is not okay."

"Wow," Gao Fei laughed. "Trying to be tough with me, huh? Let me tell you clearly that giving you one third is already my bottom line. If you're not satisfied... then let's have a fight. If you win, all this stuff is yours."

"You're playing dirty, you know very well that I can't beat you."

"So I'm playing dirty. What are you gonna do about it?"

"You..."

"If you're not happy, bring it on. I could use a bit of action," Gao Fei offered.

...

Jiang Qilong ultimately caved in. "Fine!" he said through gritted teeth, nodding his head. "One third it is, but I have a condition."

"You dare set conditions with me?" Gao Fei sneered.

"I get to pick first from these treasures," insisted Jiang Qilong.

"Wishful thinking," Gao Fei snorted. "I discovered this secret room. By rights, all these treasures should belong to me. Giving you a third is already very generous. Don't be ungrateful."

"I..."

"We'll split it this way. If you're not happy with it, then let's fight."

Always resorting to brute force to threaten me! This is too shameless! Jiang Qilong was boiling with rage inside. What kind of person is this? How could there be such a person in the world? It's absurd!

A complete scoundrel! Utterly unreasonable!

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Qilong said, "Okay, I take back what I said. Split it however you want. I... have no objections."

"That's better," Gao Fei nodded. "As the saying goes, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' Compromise when it's time to compromise, bow your head when it's time to bow. Let me first see what's inside these boxes."

A power enveloped the small box, blocking Clairvoyance's pry.

This wasn't the first time he encountered such a situation. Some places and items were imbued with Mysterious Power, rendering his Clairvoyance eye ineffective.

Since Clairvoyance was of no use, he decided to just open it and take a look.

After probing to ensure there was no danger, Gao Fei walked over to open a small box. He counted carefully and saw that there were thirty-six identical black boxes on the metal rack, all the same size and shape.

"Click!"

With a light flick of his finger, Gao Fei opened one of the boxes.

"Huh? What is this?" Gao Fei was taken aback.

Jiang Qilong came over to take a look inside the box. "Round and pitch black, looks like some kind of pill," he commented.

"Pill?" Gao Fei pinched the black round object with two fingers. "It's quite heavy." He placed the round object under his nose and sniffed, "It smells a bit foul and is very hard, doesn't seem like a pill."

"It's not a pill? Then what is it?" Jiang Qilong asked.

"Let's just gather it up for now and take our time to study it later," Gao Fei said as he put the sphere into the box and then turned to open the other boxes for me.

"Uh..." Jiang Qilong was stunned, "Are they all spheres?"

Gao Fei was somewhat confused, "Thirty-six small boxes, storing thirty-six spheres..."

"If you don't want them, give them all to me."

"Dream on!" Gao Fei glared at Jiang Qilong, "Even though I don't know the origin of these spheres, I'm sure they're no ordinary items." With that, Gao Fei handed twelve small boxes to Jiang Qilong, "These are yours, take good care of them."

"Give me a few more."

"Don't even think about it."

"You're so stingy."

...

Gao Fei collected the remaining twenty-four small boxes into his Storage Ring, "This iron frame also looks extraordinary." He tapped the iron frame with his finger, producing a series of muffled sounds.

"Give me the iron frame," Jiang Qilong asked outright.

"Whoosh!"

Gao Fei promptly put the iron frame into his Storage Ring.

"How can you hog it all to yourself! We agreed that you'd give me one third," Jiang Qilong protested anxiously.

"Any objections?"

"Yes! Huge objections!"

"Then let's settle it with a fight. If you win, you can have the iron frame."

"..."

"What's wrong, not talking anymore? Got cold feet? Weren't you acting all capable just now?"

"Getting to know you is the most unfortunate thing that has ever happened to me," Jiang Qilong huffed.

"Let's go, let's see what else is around," Gao Fei turned to leave, "Let's see if there are more treasures hidden elsewhere."

Jiang Qilong followed glumly, hating that his strength was inadequate to stand up to Gao Fei's bullying—what a total disgrace.

After a few steps, Gao Fei halted, "Huh?"

"What now?" Jiang Qilong asked.

"Heh heh..." Gao Fei grinned, "I've found another mechanism..." As he spoke, Gao Fei stepped forward.

"Hey, wait for me," Jiang Qilong hastened to follow, "What have you found now?"

After about a dozen steps, Gao Fei stopped. He stared at the ground for a moment and then gently tapped the surface a few times with the tip of his foot. If you looked carefully, you could see that Gao Fei's tapping was not random; there was a certain pattern to it.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Qilong was utterly confused.

"Click!"

The smooth, even floor suddenly cracked open.

"Ah?" Jiang Qilong jumped in fright and hurriedly stumbled backwards.

"Look at you, such cowardice," Gao Fei scorned Jiang Qilong, "Relax, there's no danger."

"Uh... it was a reflex..." Jiang Qilong's face turned slightly red, a look of embarrassment crossing his features; he too felt his earlier behavior was somewhat unseemly, "What did you find?" Jiang Qilong ambled over.

A small, square opening had formed in the floor, inside of which lay a transparent little bottle.

Gao Fei reached out and took the small bottle, "What's this inside?" Since the small bottle was transparent, they could see the contents without having to open the cap. The bottle contained some oval-shaped small spheres, white in color, looking like they might be some kind of animal's... eggs, yes, like eggs.
