Primordial Harem System

[I can't really do much about it though; due to my binding with you, all of my powers were sealed.

I'm borrowing the power of the Grand Dao to create Chaos Coins by playing with its rules.

That's why you get the coins for quests and dual cultivation techniques.

]Yue Lan jumped back to not get wet by the splashing water as she explained her situation.

"...

I don't think I understood what you mean, but basically you are restricted and can't help me fully right now.

Then for how long will you be restricted?

" He asked as he dried himself with his Fire Intent and moved to grab his white robes and pants.

[You need to reach higher planes for that.

But with the rate you are cultivating...

it shouldn't take too long.

]Yue Lan happily said as she turned into particles and went back inside Shen Yuan's Sea of Consciousness.

Shen Yuan stared at the place Yue Lan was sitting, "Hmm...

looks like you are quite eager to lift your restrictions.

"[Hmph!

Of course, who likes to be restricted?

]Yue Lan replied moodily.

Shen Yuan smiled as he realized her restrictions were a sore spot for her.

"Anyways, I will go to the Treasure Pavilion for now and see what they have in store for me.

" He said as he finished wearing his clothes.

[Good, you do that while I will take some quality sleep.

]"Wait, you didn't tell me how many Chaos Coins I got during this dual cultivation session?

" Shen Yuan hurriedly said.

[Oh, forgot to tell you.

Well, you earned around 25,000 Chaos Coins.

Keep up the good work though.

If you continue at this rate, you will sooner or later be able to break through to the peak of this world.

]Shen Yuan lowered his head as he made calculations, "So, I need to dual cultivate with one of my Dao Companions about 20 times to be able to afford the worst space cultivation technique from the store.

"His eyes twitched as he realized once more how high the price of the cultivation techniques was.

While shaking his head, he stepped outside of his mansion and began walking in the direction of the Treasure Pavilion....

Shen Yuan stood in front of the Treasure Pavilion.

Looking up, he saw the grand structure emanating an ancient aura.

The towering building was made of black jade, etched with glowing runes that seemed to be reinforcing the walls.

A pair of enormous golden doors adorned with intricate carvings of mythical beasts stood before him.

He couldn't help but admire the grandeur of the pavilion as he muttered under his breath, "No matter which building I see in the sect, the craftsmanship still amazes me.

"He didn't stop for long as he entered the pavilion, together with the other disciples who were throwing glances at him from time to time.

Once inside, he saw the counter where Inner Sect disciples were tending to the disciples who were coming and going.

He went up to one of them and spoke politely, "Greetings, may I inquire about the rewards that I was supposed to get?

"The disciple was also looking at him from before.

She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Shen Yuan's voice as she hurriedly nodded her head, "Yes, please give me a moment to verify it with the Elders here.

" She got up from her position and left to verify.

Shen Yuan nodded as he silently stood in front of the counter.

Soon after, she returned with a relieved smile.

She came in front of Shen Yuan and said cheerfully, "You can enter from that door by showing your identity medallion," she pointed at the door on the side with a groove for placing the identity medallion.

"You can take any one treasure or cultivation manual or anything from the treasury.

Oh, and the elders told me to inform you that you can also stack the reward and get a better deal later if you didn't find anything to your liking.

" She continued to talk as she stared at him with bright eyes.

Shen Yuan nodded his head continuously as he listened to her explanation, "Thanks for the help," he thanked her with a nod, as he soon followed up with a question, "But why are you staring at me like that?

Have we met before?

"The disciple hurriedly shook her head and replied, "Oh no no, nothing of the sort.

My name is Gao Yan; my little sister is Gao Xiu.

She told me about what you all did inside the Mystique Realm, and to say the least, I have become your fan ever since.

"Shen Yuan looked at her in amusement as finding someone as frank as her was rare in a sect like this, "You don't have to think too much about it.

I just did what I could in my power to secure the most benefits for my juniors.

"Gao Yan shook her head again, "If there was someone else in your shoes, he would have first thought about securing benefits for himself or might not even help his fellow disciples at all.

But you...

you gave all of them equal chance to compete for inheritances.

"Shen Yuan smiled but didn't say anything else.

"Oh, look at me, sorry for taking so much of your time.

You can enter the treasury by placing your identity medallion there.

" Gao Yan hurriedly bowed and apologized while pointing at the groove on the gate.

Shen Yuan lightly grabbed her shoulder and lifted her up before nodding his head, "There is no need to apologize, and thanks for the help.

"Gao Yan stood up straight and gave him a small smile.

Shen Yuan turned around and walked towards the gate before taking out his identity badge and placing it on the gate.

It fit perfectly in the groove as runes lit up all over the gate.

After scanning the identity medallion, the lights receded as the identity token got pushed out while the gate split apart and slowly opened inwardly.

Shen Yuan's eyes lit up as he felt a rush of ancient aura, but he couldn't see anything inside as the gate and the other part of the treasury seemed to be protected by different barriers, 'I might really find something decent here.

'He thought with excitement as he entered inside and the gates behind him slowly closed.

The view inside only added to his excitement as he was greeted by the sight of endless shelves stretching into the distance.

Each shelf gleamed with treasures that radiated various elemental auras—glowing weapons, lost artifacts, cultivation techniques, battle arts, and ancient scrolls encased inside formations.

The interior was illuminated by orbs of light floating all around.

His eyes wandered over the artifacts as he walked deeper into the treasury.

'With such a vast collection, there must be something here worth taking,' he thought, his lips forming an excited smile.

Soon, an elder dressed in flowing robes approached him.

The elder's aura was peaceful yet strict, exuding the air of someone who had spent centuries or even millenniums safeguarding these treasures.

"Shen Yuan, correct?

" the elder asked, her voice steady and composed.

Shen Yuan cupped his hands respectfully.

"Yes, Elder.

I was told I could select one treasure from the treasury.

"
