Mechanism locks were also a type of mechanism technique, just that they were more refined … Don't look at how a normal mechanism lock wasn't particularly big, but the complexity of it was unimaginable. Even if some mechanism locks were set up successfully, even some top level mechanism experts wouldn't be able to open it.
For example, the most terrifying mechanical lock in the history of the Thousand Gates was named Nihility …
No one had been able to unlock this mechanical lock to this day!
Of course, this mechanical lock had long been lost … In the entire history of mechanical locks, there was only one such mechanical lock, and it was accidentally completed by the master who set it up. Even the master himself couldn't unlock it.
In addition to this unsolvable mechanical lock, there were also some very perverted mechanical locks …
Generally, they were named according to the number of layers of mechanical locks … One Origin, Two Forms, Three Talents, Four Symbols, Five Elements, Six Directions, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, and so on. Although the number of layers seemed to increase gradually, the difficulty wasn't particularly terrifying.
Mechanical locks were divided into open locks and hidden locks. Open locks could be seen through the keyhole, while hidden locks couldn't be seen or even found through the keyhole. The difficulty was directly increased by many times … This required considerable wisdom to unlock.
Most of the truly powerful mechanical locks were a combination of open locks and hidden locks. You were in me, you were in me … They were even connected to each other, and there were quite a number of mechanical locks that were connected to each other.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation … was one of the perverted ones.
Although the mechanism lock only had six layers, which meant that there were a total of six mechanisms connected together, the problem was that these six mechanisms were completely connected to each other … forming a terrifying loop. It was an almost unsolvable mechanism lock, and its difficulty was even higher than the Nine Palace Flying Star Primordial Lock.
"This is really troublesome …"
Faced with such a mechanical lock, although Qin Fang was very interested in the items in this black iron box, he didn't feel that he could unlock it quickly …
"Since I have nothing to do, I'll give it a try …"
The door of the treasury was already closed, and Othello was still thrown by Qin Fang on the opposite side of the box. Unless someone from the main temple of the Freemasonry came, it was absolutely impossible for those outside to rush in and disturb Qin Fang. This gave Qin Fang plenty of time to unlock this box.
Moreover, Qin Fang had already seen the items in this treasury. Apart from this black iron box that could catch Qin Fang's eye, the rest were just trash in Qin Fang's eyes.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation was a very, very complicated mechanical lock …
As long as he made the slightest mistake, the six mechanisms would combine with each other, automatically closing the mechanisms that he had already solved. Moreover, it would automatically reshuffle the cards … Not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, but the order would also be changed again. In other words, his previous experience would be useless here. Everything would have to start from the beginning, from zero.
"This is a f * cking trap …"
Qin Fang took nearly two hours to unlock this mechanical lock. At one point, he had unlocked four of the six layers of mechanical locks. He even had some progress on the fifth layer, but in the end, he still failed.
As for using the Flowing Shadow Sword to open this box …
Qin Fang obviously wouldn't do this. Firstly, mechanical locks generally came with a self-destruct device. The result of brute force was very likely to destroy the things in the box. This was not what Qin Fang wanted to see.
Not to mention, this was a box made of black iron. It was absolutely hard … Even Qin Fang's Flowing Shadow Sword might not be able to open it.
Fortunately, Qin Fang's Thousand Arts skills were very powerful. In addition, he also had a very special skill that he rarely used … Lockpicking.
After spending another hour or so, the box finally opened with a 'kacha' sound.
"Phew … It's finally unlocked!"
When he heard this sound, Qin Fang let out a long sigh of relief. He immediately reached out and opened the black iron box. At the same time, he looked inside the box … He was quite curious about the things in this box.
"This is …"
When the box was opened, Qin Fang also saw the things inside. However, he frowned slightly and looked at the things in surprise … Then, he reached out and took out the things inside.
"Silk book?"
The thing was already in his hands. It was a silk book … Qin Fang simply looked at it and confirmed that it had existed for a very long time. It might have a history of more than a thousand years, or even longer.
Because this silk book was placed in the black iron box and set up with a mechanical lock like the Six Realms of Reincarnation, this box was almost completely sealed. This was why it had been preserved until now and was still intact without any wear and tear.
Qin Fang was quite curious about this silk book that was stored in such a precious black iron box. He immediately opened it …
Then …
He saw Qin Fang's eyes suddenly widen. It was as if he saw something very shocking.
"This isn't … This isn't … Hiss!!"
Qin Fang was very shocked, but his eyes were full of excitement and joy. "This is the Dan Sutra that has been lost for thousands of years!"
Pill Scripture, a secret book that specifically recorded alchemy.
This was one of the most precious secret books in the Long Province's martial arts world …
Although it wasn't a secret manual of martial arts, it was much more precious than many secret manuals of peerless secret manuals … Especially in this era where medicinal pills had almost become a rare item, the value of the [Alchemy Mantra] could be said to be priceless.
Not only did the Pill Scripture record some secrets of alchemy, but it also recorded a lot of medicinal pill recipes. It could even be said that from the simplest Blood Replenishing Pill, Qi Replenishing Pill, to the most difficult and most valuable Divine Yuan Pill, it recorded everything.
As for the Green Dragon Pill, Nirvana Pill, and other medicinal pill recipes in Qin Fang's hands, naturally, they were also recorded in this Pill Scripture … Even Qin Fang saw that the Green Dragon Pill recipe mentioned some substitutes of materials.
Of course, in this era, it was almost impossible to find the materials to refine Green Dragon Pill and other high-level medicinal pills on earth …
Even if there were, it was absolutely absolutely only in the ancient secret realms like the three major secret realms.
But the same problem …
In such an ancient secret land, firstly, it was impossible to find the entrance. Secondly, it was too dangerous inside. Even if it was an expert of the level of the Four Emperors, his life would be in danger if he entered it, let alone an expert of the Great Grandmaster Realm like Qin Fang, who could easily die.
However, with the continuous improvement of Qin Fang's strength and the gradual appearance of the three major secret realms, he would definitely enter in the future to explore it. It was also very likely that he would also get the materials to refine these high-level medicinal pills.
The value of this Pill Scripture was naturally immeasurable …
Qin Fang's alchemy skills were already at the master level. He thought that the Pill Scripture wouldn't be of much use to him, but Qin Fang just flipped through it for a while and already felt that he had benefited a lot. It recorded a lot of key points that Qin Fang didn't know about.
"I didn't expect …"
Looking at the Pill Scripture in his hand, Qin Fang's face also showed a happy smile. "I thought I would return empty-handed this time, but I didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise. This is really a worthwhile trip …"
He didn't carefully study the Pill Scripture. Instead, he put it together with the black iron box into the item box.
Although this Pill Scripture had been sealed and preserved in the black iron box, it had existed for too long. Now that it suddenly came into contact with the outside world, it was very easy for it to be damaged. Qin Fang naturally didn't want such a thing to happen, so he planned to bring it back and tidy it up properly.
The item box could be isolated from the outside world, so it was the best place to store it. Qin Fang certainly didn't dare to be careless.
Of course, this black iron box also had some uses for Qin Fang.
For example, it could store some special treasures. Its safety was also quite guaranteed … In this world, there might not be anyone who could open the mechanism lock of the Six Realms of Reincarnation. At least, Qin Fang didn't have the assistance of the lockpicking skill. He would need to spend at least a few days to have a little bit of hope.
Even if he didn't care about the use of this mechanism lock, the black iron in this box was very precious. He believed that if he threw it to the big sects in the martial arts world, they would be very willing to accept it … Black iron was the best material to forge top-grade weapons.
Just like the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword in Qin Fang's hand, it was added with a certain amount of black iron, which was why it was so hard and sharp …
"Let's see if there are any other treasures …"
With this Pill Scripture, Qin Fang's trip was already worthwhile. However, whether there were any other treasures hidden under these armors and weapons, Qin Fang didn't plan to let them go so easily. Therefore, he immediately carried out a sweep.
Unfortunately, such a pleasant surprise didn't continue to appear …
However, after Qin Fang searched the entire treasury and confirmed that there were no more treasures that interested him, he knew that he should leave this place.
It was very difficult to open the entire treasury from the outside. There were many conditions needed to be met before it could be opened.
However, it was much simpler to open it from the inside. He only needed to press a button on the stone door, and the huge stone door would automatically open … This way, Qin Fang could directly swagger out.
The disciples of the Evil Sect and Dark Sect who were guarding outside had long left.
It took Qin Fang three to four hours to unlock the treasures in the treasury. This secret territory was an important stronghold of the Freemasonry. Now that the Holy Temple had been destroyed, the Freemasonry would definitely not let this matter rest. These young disciples had limited strength, so naturally, they did not dare to stay any longer and had already slipped away.
Therefore, Qin Fang was probably the only one left in the entire secret realm. There was no one waiting outside the treasury to ambush Qin Fang.
