‘Could there be something wrong with this house?’ Mu Yanxi felt a sense of unease, but this was indeed the Disciple Dormitory.
Mu Yanxi took out her jade token and checked it; it was definitely the Tian-grade Room. She could only steel herself and follow inside.
“You just need to match it with this jade token to open the door,” Shangguan Yun said, closing the door behind them and locking it.
“It’s quite large… wait a second! Isn’t this furniture a bit too luxurious?!” Mu Yanxi looked in shock at the bright white jade floor tiles, the living room connecting to the second floor, the chandelier overhead, and several tables and chairs made of Bodhi Wood, along with demonic beast skin sofas.
The jade tiles on the floor were made of Emerald Core Warm Jade, which could expel malevolent energy and nourish the Divine Soul.
This was a top-tier material for crafting jade divine artifacts, yet it was actually being used for flooring.
The Bodhi Wood used for the chairs was 10,000 years old — and likely not just barely so. After touching them, Mu Yanxi estimated they were approximately 30,000 to 40,000 years old.
Bodhi Wood could provide enlightenment and increase spirituality. Meditating under a Bodhi tree increased the chance of a sudden epiphany and protected against external demonic incursions.
It was a place of enlightenment highly esteemed by disciples of the Buddhist Sect.
The Bodhi Fruit produced by the trees was a supreme treasure for practicing Buddhist Order cultivation methods. Eating one could increase wisdom and comprehension.
A single 1,000-year Bodhi Fruit was enough to enlighten a savage beast and turn it into a demon cultivator. Not only those of the Buddhist and demon paths, but cultivators of all other schools also flocked to it, holding it in high regard.
In her previous life, Mu Yanxi had accompanied her father to meet an Abbot from one of the ten great Buddhist Sects in the Eastern Hua Prefecture.
His prayer beads were strung from 10,000-year-old Bodhi Seeds. This was already the most luxurious use Mu Yanxi had ever seen.
That great senior of the Buddhist Sect, who was at the Integration Stage, would fiddle with the beads in his hand whenever he met anyone, and everyone who saw them would look on with envy.
But in Mu Yanxi’s eyes, the 10,000-year-old Bodhi Seeds in that Abbot’s prayer beads weren’t even as old as these pieces of furniture.
Moreover, those were just the seeds left over after eating the Bodhi Fruit, while this furniture was carved from entire logs of Bodhi Wood. Their value simply couldn’t be compared.
As for those leather sofas, they were all made from the skins of Level 10 Demonic Beasts or higher. What did that even mean?
The skin of a Level 10 Demonic Beast didn’t even need to be refined into a divine artifact; one could simply drape it over their body to block an attack from a divine treasure.
Although the style of this dormitory was completely different from the mansions of her previous life and felt very modern, everything from the chandelier to the cabinets, and from the glass windows to the small wall ornaments, was made of incredibly precious materials.
Just this single dormitory building, if placed in her previous life, would have been enough to make those Great Experts and old monsters fight to the death, or even trigger wars between Sects.
“You’re making a fuss over nothing. Even though your family’s fortune has declined, you should have been quite wealthy as a child, right? It’s just some furniture made of Bodhi Wood and some leather sofas. They’re all renewable resources,” Shangguan Yun said as she walked over.
“Renewable?” Mu Yanxi didn’t understand the meaning of the word for a moment.
“Yes, renewable. A 10,000-year-old Bodhi tree is larger than this house. We just cut off a few branches to make some tables and chairs.”
“As for the warm jade, as long as the Earth Vein Source remains, it can be mined infinitely. My family owns a Five-Colored Jade Mine. Demonic beast skin is even simpler — just skin them, heal them up, and you can skin them again immediately,” Shangguan Yun said nonchalantly.
“Is… is that so?” Mu Yanxi found it hard to believe. A 10,000-year-old Bodhi tree was such a precious resource; how could anyone be willing to cut its branches to make furniture?
The regeneration of jade mines was measured in 100 million-year increments — once mined out, they were gone.
And the idea of repeatedly skinning a demonic beast was even more shocking. ‘Did a Level 10 Demonic Beast have no dignity to let itself be skinned over and over?’
