Chapter 574: Measure of Worth
The chamber on the other side opened into a broad, brightly lit space filled with pedestals.
Every pedestal displayed something valuable. Leon moved through the room at an unhurried pace, inspecting each offering in turn.
The first held a healing elixir that gave off a faint glow, powerful enough to drag a cultivator back from the brink of death. Leon's own regeneration made it unnecessary for him, but it could still save someone who lacked that advantage. Beside it rested an elemental crystal, raw power rolling from it strongly enough to reach him across the chamber.
Another stand supported a slab of high-grade weapon material, the kind a master smith might spend years trying to obtain.
There was also a compact storage artifact, refined and small, yet worth a fortune by itself. More treasures continued down the line, any one of them good enough to serve as the reward for an entire lesser trial.
The final pedestal stood apart from the rest.
