Chapter 1921 - 1487: Musashi School's Treasure Repository!_3

If it weren't for the faint traces of water on the ground proving that he had actually stepped over them, one would have thought he flew across...After passing through this perilous corridor, the path beyond was much smoother. Although it was set up like a simple labyrinth, to Qin Fang, it was almost as if there was nothing there. In less than a minute, he passed through this formation and officially entered the Musashi School's Treasure Repository.

"Hiss~~~"

Upon seeing this treasure repository, Qin Fang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Damn, this is really poor..."

Qin Fang had known that the Musashi School's Treasure Repository might not be very impressive. After all, the school itself wasn't strong, and it hadn't existed for long, so it wasn't surprising that they hadn't collected valuable items.

But when he actually stepped inside, Qin Fang couldn't help but curse.

What was called a treasure repository was actually just a relatively large stone room. It was rather empty, housing some relatively precious "treasures."

These treasures, quite a few of them were priceless...

But that was relative to ordinary people, like several famous paintings and calligraphy pieces from Dragon Country, porcelain, jade, and so forth, and a few swords slightly inferior to the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword...

Other than that, things like martial arts manuscripts, elixirs, or formulas cherished by martial sects were nowhere to be found...

Even the few treasured swords seemed to have been stored for too long, rusted considerably, and whether they could still be used was an uncertainty.

"Are there just these scraps?"

Although these items in the treasure repository left Qin Fang quite dissatisfied, he wasn't planning to be polite to the Musashi School. He waved his hand, packing everything up and tossing it into the Props Box...

At least among those antiques and relics, quite a few were priceless. Qin Fang, although not lacking money, found many of them were from Dragon Country, so taking them back was like doing a good deed.

However, after sorting out these items, Qin Fang's brow furrowed tightly, feeling as if he had missed something.

"If the treasure repository only had these scraps, would Kawada Musashi have turned against me like this?"

Qin Fang thought deeply, realizing he seemed to have overlooked an important point.

Though these items were valuable, they weren't valuable enough for Kawada Musashi to turn against Qin Fang, especially since Qin Fang had helped him by taking down Miyamoto Musashi. That favor alone far outweighed the value of one or two relics...

Yet Kawada Musashi not only turned against him but also tried every means to kill Qin Fang, ostensibly to cover up the truth, which seemed too far-fetched a reason.

"Unless..."

With this thought, Qin Fang's eyes sharpened, and he started searching the stone room again meticulously.

"Surely there's something I've missed..."

He was almost certain this treasure repository wouldn't be so simple because it... was too clean!

Even though the Musashi School hadn't been established long and wasn't particularly strong, its founders occupied a Cave Paradise-like location and went through so much trouble to build such a concealed Treasure Repository, which couldn't have been merely for these few relics.

Moreover, decades ago, when Japan invaded Dragon Country, many martial arts experts accompanied them. They wiped out many martial sects and robbed countless treasures alongside the army.

And from what Qin Fang knew, the Musashi School had sent many people along back then. There's even a rumor that Miyamoto Musashi reached such a level because he obtained some rare treasure from Dragon Country in his early years...

Of course, this is definitely nonsense.

Though Miyamoto Musashi is quite old, during that war, he was merely a child and had no qualifications to go to Dragon Country.

But, Miyamoto Musashi's father was an elder-level figure within the Musashi School, and whether he brought something back from Dragon Country is unknown.

Moreover, over the years, Miyamoto Musashi's strength was formidable, and his status within the Dao Shen Sect was quite high. At one point, he was appointed to a highly influential position, but he declined, choosing to remain at his small estate.

Some believe he was just being low-key, while others think he didn't want to offend the six major deacons of the Dao Shen Sect. However, more people think Miyamoto Musashi had another purpose...

"Could it be that there's really some secret hidden in this treasure repository?"

First, the founders of the Musashi School went to great lengths to construct this treasure repository, then Miyamoto Musashi stayed here for so many years, and Kawada Musashi went as far as turning against Qin Fang for it... to say there aren't any truly rare and precious treasures here, Qin Fang absolutely wouldn't believe it!

"Wait, there's definitely something wrong here..."

Sensing something amiss, Qin Fang meticulously searched, fully activating his Scouting Skill, leaving no corner unchecked.

As they say, hard work pays off, and indeed, Qin Fang discovered something odd... to be specific, he found another keyhole!

"There's still another key..."

When Qin Fang tried inserting the key he used earlier to open the treasure repository door into the keyhole, he was surprised to find it stuck, unable to go in.

Which means, the key he had didn't match this keyhole... so obviously, there should be another key to unlock this true treasure repository.

But the problem is...

"Where is this key?"

This is truly a frustrating problem. Qin Fang obtained the key from Kawada Musashi based on information from Domoto Yoshio.

But clearly, Domoto Yoshio couldn't have known there was another keyhole here... so how to open this door? (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you're welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
