Chapter 3172: Wealth Attribute! Primordial Power! This Isn't Just...

For Wang Teng, the coalition's treasure vault held no real secrets.

It merely required time to locate them.

He darted through the vault like a streak of light, his form barely pausing as he moved.

Clearly, the areas closest to the entrance contained no high-tier treasures.

The powerful cultivators must have already delved deep into the vault’s heart.

Wang Teng thought this, and immediately quickened his pace.

A moment later—

“Huh?”

He let out a soft exclamation, finally slowing ever so slightly.

Attribute bubbles!

There were attribute bubbles inside the vault!

Wang Teng was deeply astonished. To encounter attribute bubbles here—what could they be?

He instantly unleashed his spiritual awareness, sweeping forward to collect the attribute bubbles in the area ahead.

【Wealth Qi *50】

【Wealth Qi *20】

【Wealth Qi *30】

…

【Space Qi *300】

【Space Qi *500】

【Space Qi *600】

…

“Damn! Wealth Qi and Space Qi!”

Wang Teng paused, then his eyes flared with sudden brilliance.

These two attributes—Wealth Qi truly surprised him; Space Qi, however, was less unexpected.

This vault clearly belonged to some special space, so the presence of Space Qi made sense.

But Wealth Qi… wait, actually, that made sense too.

Wang Teng quickly grasped it, a flicker of delight appearing in his gaze.

He began to think further—there were many treasures within this vault, and surely there would be even more Wealth Qi. This was only the beginning.

“But why hadn’t Wealth Qi appeared before?”

Wang Teng felt puzzled.

He wasn’t unfamiliar with entering the vaults of great clans and powerful factions—those places certainly had wealth energy.

So what was going on here?

“Could it be because of my [Golden Wealth God Body]?”

Wang Teng furrowed his brow, pondering his recently elevated unique physique.

Since reaching the peak of the fifth level, he had sensed a subtle shift in the [Golden Wealth God Body].

It seemed to perceive Wealth Qi more clearly now, and absorb it more easily—without being detected.

In short, it had become far more discreet.

When he first obtained the [Golden Wealth God Body] from Nancy, though he was also at the fifth level, its effects weren’t nearly this potent.

Had he not secretly absorbed the Wealth Qi of those powerful cultivators, pushing the [Golden Wealth God Body] to the peak of the fifth level, he likely would still be at Nancy’s level.

“Nancy probably wouldn’t find it easy to absorb the Wealth Qi within this vault either.”

Wang Teng suddenly thought of something, making a quiet guess in his mind.

This conclusion stemmed from his deep understanding of the [Golden Wealth God Body].

Besides the powerful cultivators in the Universe’s First Bank who possessed the same body, no one knew it better than he did.

Compared to the Wealth Qi surrounding those strong individuals, the Wealth Qi within this vault was far more dispersed—and much thinner.

The reason he could precisely obtain it was solely due to the appearance of attribute bubbles.

Otherwise, he would have long overlooked the Wealth Qi around these treasures.

But regardless, this was good news for Wang Teng.

He didn’t dwell further, immediately absorbing the attribute bubbles, converting them into his own power.

A thread of golden qi flowed through his body, eventually merging into his flesh and bones.

Wang Teng felt his [Golden Wealth God Body] undergo another subtle transformation.

“It can still improve?”

He was stunned.

He had assumed that once the [Golden Wealth God Body] reached the peak of the fifth level, it would be difficult to advance further.

Especially after absorbing such a vast amount of Wealth Qi, he had almost believed the body was temporarily satiated.

“But if I keep absorbing like this, what will happen?”

Wang Teng’s mind brimmed with curiosity.

Generally, to advance the [Golden Wealth God Body] to the next stage, one needed corresponding primordial energy.

But what if he used this cheating method—absorbing enough Wealth Qi attributes—what would occur?

“Wait a minute!”

Wang Teng suddenly sensed something, his expression shifting slightly.

As he absorbed the Wealth Qi attributes, he felt a faint tremor in the bottleneck of his [Golden Wealth God Body].

What was happening?

He found it hard to believe.

When he absorbed the Wealth Qi of those powerful cultivators earlier, nothing like this had occurred.

Back then, it was purely the accumulation of massive Wealth Qi that triggered a qualitative change, promoting the transformation of the [Golden Wealth God Body].

But now, he had only acquired a small amount of Wealth Qi attributes—far from enough to cause a qualitative leap.

“What on earth is going on?”

Wang Teng carefully sensed the changes in his physique, countless speculations flashing through his mind.

Then, an astonishing idea suddenly emerged in his thoughts.

Could this "Wealth Qi" attribute be the source power required for the Golden God of Wealth Physique?

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

At this realization, Wang Teng could not help but blurt out three curses in a row.

This was far too unexpected!

He had thought it was merely an ordinary "Wealth Qi" attribute, yet it turned out to be an immense surprise.

"If it truly is the source power required for the Golden God of Wealth Physique, then why should I worry about being unable to make the physique advance to the next tier!"

A sharp gleam flickered in Wang Teng's eyes, and without a moment's delay, he continued to hurtle off into the distance.

He intended to keep fleecing the wool of this "Wealth Qi" attribute.

Treasures were abundant in this place, so the "Wealth Qi" attribute should be quite plentiful as well.

Every little bit adds up!

Perhaps this time he could obtain unexpected benefits.

As for the other type of attribute bubble, he merely cast a glance at it and paid it no further attention.

The "Space" attribute!

This attribute could no longer evoke waves of emotion in his heart now.

Of course, it would still be a different story if the quantity were relatively large.

Unfortunately, the "Space" attribute he had just obtained was not considered very much, and could only be regarded as better than nothing.

Following this, Wang Teng pushed his speed to the absolute limit, continuously roaming through this expanse of void.

Cosmos-stage treasures!

Domain Lord-stage treasures!

Sector Lord-stage treasures!

Ordinary Immortal-stage treasures!

……

One treasure after another flashed past his eyes, almost all accompanied by the appearance of the "Wealth Qi" attribute.

The treasures near the treasury entrance earlier were basically below the Cosmos stage, and the "Wealth Qi" attribute had not appeared.

But after entering the depths of the treasury, every single treasure was accompanied by the "Wealth Qi" attribute, some more and some less, but without exception.

Wang Teng naturally did not disdain it at all, refusing none that came.

His Golden God of Wealth Physique continuously showed signs of loosening, as if it were incessantly eating away at that barrier to breakthrough.

Yet strangely enough, no matter how much of the "Wealth Qi" attribute he absorbed, it still seemed to fall short by a great deal.

"This breakthrough is harder than I imagined!"

"However, the 'Wealth Qi' attribute contained in that ordinary Immortal-stage treasure just now was several times more than before."

"And it was also much purer!"

"Those 'Wealth Qi' attributes caused the fluctuations generated by the Golden God of Wealth Physique to undoubtedly grow quite a bit more violent."

Wang Teng had been carefully sensing the changes in the Golden God of Wealth Physique all along, so he sensed that last fluctuation extremely clearly.

Comparing the before and after, he seemed to have faintly guessed something in a vague manner.

"Advancing from the fifth tier to the sixth tier should be equivalent to leaping from the Immortal stage to the Divine stage."

"Therefore, the source power required for this breakthrough ought to be extremely massive, and it must also be very pure."

"As such, it is best to absorb the 'Wealth Qi' attribute contained in treasures above the Immortal stage for it to have any effect."

One thought after another flashed through Wang Teng's mind, and so he planned to fix his gaze on those Immortal-stage treasures.

In truth, he had intended to look for Immortal-stage treasures right from the very beginning.

It was only the appearance of that "Wealth Qi" attribute that made him unwilling to let slip a single treasure.

After all, even the smallest mosquito is still meat.

Regrettably, it seemed so now.

To make the source energy required for the Golden God of Wealth Physique become extremely pure, the required "Wealth Qi" attribute was simply too much.

Wang Teng suddenly felt a bit of a headache.

Yet another massive project.

He always felt that he had rejoiced a bit too early just now, damn it.

Wang Teng secretly shook his head and cast a glance at the ordinary Immortal-stage treasure he had just encountered, devoid of any lingering attachment.

Whether it was for the sake of the "Wealth Qi" attribute or purely for the treasure itself.

This ordinary Immortal-stage treasure was not within the scope of his choices.

Too low-grade!

It was not that Wang Teng's standards were too high, but rather that he had seen too many good things, coupled with the massive amount of military merit he currently possessed.

Naturally, he had to set his goals a bit higher.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of military merit!

These ordinary Immortal-stage treasures could be encountered anywhere, so why exchange for them now.

His foresight was not that narrow.

Of course, unless this treasure was highly unique and difficult to come across normally, or just happened to be useful to him.

A moment later, Wang Teng encountered the second Immortal-stage treasure.

This was a fire-attributed battle sword, its entire body shrouded in a scorching temperature, with the faint sound of sword cries seemingly transmitting from it, exceedingly singular.

Wang Teng glanced at the battle sword itself, ultimately letting his gaze fall upon the attribute bubbles floating around it.

Pick up!

One attribute bubble after another instantly surged into his body.

"Wealth Qi*2300"

"Wealth Qi*2000"

"Wealth Qi*3000"

……

"Oh ho! The 'Wealth Qi' attribute contained in this battle sword is actually even greater."

Wang Teng's eyes lit up, and he immediately absorbed all of those "Wealth Qi" attributes.

"Delightful!"

"Too delightful!"

"Who could have thought that the treasures would actually contain the 'Wealth Qi' attribute!"

He sensed that his wealth-fortune also seemed to be affected, quietly and gradually elevating.

When he had absorbed the wealth-qi of those powerful entities earlier, his [Luck] attribute had increased by one point.

This time, it seemed there was another chance to improve it.

Wang Teng felt a surge of excitement rising within him; it truly was a double blessing.

[Wealth-Qi] was indeed a marvelous thing!

[Golden God of Wealth Physique] was truly an exceptional constitution!

After absorbing the attribute bubbles, Wang Teng finally stepped forward, grasping the fire-attributed battle-sword to sense its weight.

Clang!

As the battle-sword met his grip, a sharp, resonant hum instantly vibrated through the air, sword-qi soaring straight into the clouds, as if offering a passionate response to him.

"Oh? Has it sensed my extraordinary nature?"

Wang Teng laughed aloud, feeling immensely gratified in his heart.

And yet.

He could not choose this battle-sword.

It was merely at the Marquis Immortal stage, still falling slightly short.

Fire-attributed battle-sword: o(╥﹏╥)o

However, before finding other Immortal-level treasures, he still intended to carry this battle-sword with him for now; in case there were no other choices, it was not completely out of the question.

He slung the battle-sword across his back, then transformed into a stream of light, speeding away.

In the subsequent time, he encountered several more Immortal-level treasures, but they were all at the Marquis Immortal level, none surpassing it.

Wang Teng's back now bore several more treasures.

A battle-axe! A warhammer! A massive ore! The carcass of a star beast... a myriad of items!

His back certainly could not hold any more.

Thus, he could only use his spiritual telekinesis to wrap around them, causing them to float behind him.

As for why he did not store them away.

It was not that he hadn't tried, but within this treasury, it was fundamentally impossible to store treasures away; they could only be carried directly.

And after being carried away, they would naturally be exchanged.

It had to be admitted that this treasury possessed something unique; the treasures inside were actually tangible physical objects.

No wonder it dropped [Space] attribute bubbles.

These thoughts flashed through Wang Teng's mind, and with a slight smile, he ceased to dwell on it.

These were all minor matters.

What mattered was that he could reap the benefits from the treasures.

If they weren't physical objects, he wouldn't be able to reap any benefits at all.

Now things were fine; every single treasure dropped a [Wealth-Qi] attribute, completely playing to his advantage.

For Wang Teng, this [Wealth-Qi] attribute was an extra harvest.

Utterly delightful!

As these attribute bubbles from the treasures were absorbed by Wang Teng, he clearly felt his [Golden God of Wealth Physique] becoming powerful once more.

Vaguely, he could almost sense the [Wealth-Qi] radiating from the distant treasures.

Which directions had dense [Wealth-Qi], and which directions had weak [Wealth-Qi], could all be perceived.

Wang Teng rejoiced slightly in his heart, not expecting to receive such a massive benefit even before the [Golden God of Wealth Physique] had transformed.

This would make searching for treasures much more convenient now.

Those directions with dense [Wealth-Qi] could basically be confirmed as locations where higher-grade treasures resided.

From this perspective, it seemed it could even be used to judge the preciousness of the treasures!

Wang Teng's eyes lit up, feeling as though he had discovered a brilliant breakthrough.

Was this not an absolutely superb skill for treasure hunting?!

"Incredible!"

Wang Teng almost wanted to let out a great laugh.

From now on, what treasure could possibly escape his eyes.

Even without using the [Eyes of Real Sight of All Laws], he could still find those hidden treasures.

Not to mention combining the two abilities, which could be said to be absolutely infallible.

Wang Teng could already envision the scene of himself sweeping the treasures of the world into his pockets in the future; it was simply too beautiful to imagine.

Hiss~

He couldn't think about it anymore!

How could there be such a perfectly good thing.

Although his ability defied the heavens, there were so many treasures in the world, how could he alone clean them all out.

"Cough cough~"

Wang Teng hastily cleared his throat, gathering his thoughts, just about to rush toward a distant direction thick with [Wealth-Qi].

But the commotion on his end had finally drawn the attention of others.

Though this treasury was vast, there were quite a few martial warriors entering it, so encounters were bound to happen.

Wang Teng dragging a pile of treasures while running around, was this not drawing everyone's eyes? It would be a miracle if he wasn't spotted.

"Holy crap! What... what kind of situation is this?"

"Am I seeing things, a pile of treasures running around everywhere?"

"Look quickly, there's someone in front of the treasures, did that person find them?!"

...

The surrounding people all stared with wide eyes in shock, looking at this scene in disbelief.
