53 Treasure Lis
Ct
On the third floor of the revered Ancient Pagoda. Two bodies... A male and female, lay unconscious on the flat grounds. While a kid who has a figure of a 6-year-old is peacefully sitting in a cross-leg position with his eyes shut off.
The female's unconscious body started to slowly move around the ground, as she tries to wake up.
This female body is Feng Yexue.
Feng Yexue was the first one to recover since she was the one who took the easier blows, during their battle yesterday.
She groggily stood up as she tries to recollect her memories from the battle.
She remembered the scene where she and Kyle stood side by side while the child dragon used his Soul Attack against them.
Now that she had re-organized her thoughts, a sad expression escaped her face, as she realized that they lost again.
"Wait... What happened to Kyle?" She panicked as she scours the surrounding area.
Thankfully... After carefully inspecting the area, she found the unconscious Kyle lying on the floor.
Due to her panic, she did not saw the child that was peacefully sitting a few meters away from them.
She then rushed towards Kyle and attempted to wake him up.
She exerted her soul power inside of him, to help him recover faster.

Moments later...
Kyle woke up in a surprise state.
He then saw the worried face of Feng Yexue above him.
"What happened? Are you ok?" She asks anxiously.
Hearing her anxious voice, made him remember the battle yesterday.
"Seems like I lost too... Sorry." He answered with a solemn face.
He did his best, however, the child was really too much for them.
Due to his intense focus on the battle, he did not bother to count the time, hence he thought that they failed the trial.
Although, hearing him confirm that they lost did not disappoint Feng Yexue.
She was sad because she failed the test again.
However, she was already content on seeing Kyle alive.
Those geniuses on the past all died without mercy in the hands of the child, such as, what she was most afraid was; Kyle dying, if they failed the trial.
She could still try again if she failed the trial this time, but if she losses him because of this trial, then she might be unable to handle it.
Thankfully... The child spared him, so despite them failing to pass the test. Feng Yexue was quite happy with the outcome.
The two of them then,l started to discuss the battle and planned for their future endeavors.
However...
A strong wind blew and the child arrives beside them.
"Are you all recovered?"
The child's voice surprised both of them.
Kyle and Feng Yexue hurriedly shifted and prepared themselves.
The sudden arrival of the child made them anxious, but they weren't idiots, so they hurriedly backed away simultaneously.
"No need to get so frightened. Your trial is already over."
The child said to calm the both of them.
"Over? What do you mean by over?"
Feng Yexue asked the child with a curious look.
"As I said, your trial is already over since you already passed it. Now then... Follow me."
The child explained while walking forward.
Feng Yexue and Kyle wondered and was lost in their thoughts. Especially for Feng Yexue because passing the trial was all she had ever wanted since a year ago.
Hearing that they passed the trial, they both unknowingly followed him while carefully re-organizing their thoughts.
"Did you really passed the trial?"
Feng Yexue whispered to Kyle as they both followed the child dragon.
She was the first one who fell, so she asked Kyle because she thought that he was the one who finished the trial.
"I don't... know. I didn't keep tabs on the time since I was busy focusing on the battle. However, I still fell unconscious in the end."
Kyle replied to her in a whisper while slowly remembering the last battle against the child dragon.
They were busy thinking as they followed the child dragon.
Moments later...
They arrived in an empty field and the child dragon lifted his arm and touched something in the air as if he was activating a hidden door.
Later on... Their hunch was right.
A door suddenly emerged out of thin air. It has symbols and formations written on it.
The child activated it and it opened.
"Let's enter."
The child said as he entered the door.
"..."
Both of them looked on each other speechlessly. Then, they both nodded and followed the child inside the door.
---
They both arrived in a small room.
It was really small compared to the other floors since they could see the edges of this room from where they stood.
The room was empty and very clean. They felt like they were inside a white box.
They looked ahead and saw this child smiling at them.
"Alright... You're the second person to pass this test. As the master's rules had set. I am obliged to let you choose a treasure from this pagoda."
The child dragon waved his hand and a humongous tablet that looked like a huge gravestone appeared behind him.
Written on this huge tablet was the list that Feng Yexue had heard about.
Seeing this made her excited and happy because this was her goal when she came here a year ago.
A year and months had passed and she finally succeeded. She could finally be able to cure his dear little sister.
Such as, her happiness can't be contained and she directly moved closer to the tablet with an excited and joyful expression.
Kyle had a smile on his face as he watches Feng Yexue frantically scouring the tablet.
He had clearly known how important this was to her, so when he heard that they succeeded the test. He felt like a knot was untied deep inside him.
The tablet might have great uses for him, however, seeing the expression of her woman right now was enough for him.
So, he didn't immediately contest with her in scouring the tablet and carefully observed her as he printed this memory deep inside his heart.
"Amazing! Amazing! Look at here Kyle, so many high-class treasures, even some of them are unknown to me.
As she was Kyle's woman, he too... Was her man, so when she saw the precious list of treasures. She immediately called for him as she knew, that Kyle had limited information about the continent.
He went forward and stood next by her.
The treasures written on the tablet were very extraordinary, even for her who was already at the Saint Realm.
When he came beside her, he could feel her shivering because of the excitement, so he held her hand to help her calm down.
Feeling that a hand was holding her. She looked beside her she saw Kyle next to her holding her hand. Seeing him calmed her down as she took a breather.
The events happening right now we're just too fantastical for her, so she couldn't stop herself.
No matter how high the cultivation, or how old a person is. When it comes to treasures, anyone could be intoxicated.
Now that she had calmed herself, she read the list on the tablet for Kyle to hear.
1. Severing Heaven Circulation Qi Manual
2. The core of The Scarlet Phantom
3. 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix Evergrass
4. 7 Stars Killing Array
5. Heavenly Profound Formation
6. Sky-Destruction Shuttle
7. Revitalizing Pill
8. 10 000-year-old Ginseng
9. Chaotic God Body Transformation Manual
10. .....
She continued to talk about the treasures and explained those she had any information.
There were 50 treasures on the list, however, she only knew at most, 20 of them.
She was really excited when explaining the treasures, but what excited her the most, is when she talked about the 3rd item on the list; The 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix Evergrass.
This was the legendary herb that her clan had told her about.
The herb that could cure all disease and help a person reborn to become a genius.
To be honest... Kyle wanted this herb once he had heard of its effects because he felt that his talent in cultivating Qi was really low.
However, there might be only one of this herb, so obviously... He couldn't contest against it.
Or else, he will just ruin his relationship with Feng Yexue.
he also doesn't have any sickness, so the herb being able to cure any disease would be such a waste to use it on himself.
But seeing the list now made him crave for more. Unfortunately... They could only pick one.
"So... Have you chosen what you want?" The child suddenly spoke, breaking both of their discussion about the treasures.
