Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Xiaobei and Yin Wuqiu walked over to the shelves. He could see that there was an ancient round bronze plate with a diameter of ten centimeters placed high up on one of the shelves. There were sacred inscriptions of Sanskrit engraved on it. Seemingly it was a sacred Buddhist relic from the West.
“What is that thing over there? Isn’t that a Spiritual Item?”
Chen Xiaobei picked up the bronze plate and tried to build a Spiritual Connection with it. However, he could not sense any Spiritual Attributes coming from it. He also remembered that the Yin Family reinforced the security of this place after they acquired something extremely valuable. When Chen Xiaobei picked up the bronze plate, he suspected that this must have been the priceless item that the Yin Family tried to protect.
Could Chen Xiaobei have been wrong about it?
“This is a sacred Buddhist relic from the West. It is called Heart Cleansing Ancient Plate. The Sanskrit inscriptions on the plate is actually a Heart Cleansing Spell! According to legend, many powerful monks considered this relic to be more valuable than their lives! They would chant this spell every day to cast away any demonic presence around them!”
“Cast away demonic presence? This item certainly looks like one of those Pure Yang Items! Within it, I can feel an aura that can ward off evil spirits! It is also slightly warmer than a Pure Yang Spiritual Item. I think this is the power of Buddha himself, right?”
“You are right.”
“My question is that, since there are a lot of Pure Yang Items out there that allow you to ward off evil spirits, what made you choose this Heart Cleansing Ancient Plate?”
“That is because this ancient plate is finding one of the treasures that is buried in the West!”
“Treasure? What do you mean by that?”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei realized the reason the Yin Family considered it as a priceless piece of treasure.
“I heard that it has something to do with an elite ancient faction of the Black Desert!”
“Jingjue Ancient Faction? Could it be that? Is it by any chance connected to the Jingjue Ancient town?”
“According to history, the Ancient Western Region had 36 kingdoms of different sizes. Amongst them, was the most powerful kingdom… Jingjue Ancient Town! All the other kingdoms are pretty much insignificant! The reason why Jingjue Faction was so powerful was because they have a demigod queen sitting at the throne! She led elite troops to rob the other 36 kingdoms of their resources. After hundreds of thousands of years, the amount of resources that they had gathered is unimaginable!”
“That’s the reason why every country, faction, powerful family, and other elite forces have been trying to get their hands on the treasure since the very beginning! All of them wanted to enter the Black Desert to look for this Jingjue Ancient Faction! If any of them managed to find the treasure, they would become extremely powerful!”
Yin Wuqiu tried to explain everything to Chen Xiaobei as detailed as possible. Seemingly, he had done his fair share of research.
“Western region, Black Desert, Jingjue Ancient Faction…”
Chen Xiaobei squinted his eyes. He suspected that another matter was to be blamed for this incident. In five days time, he was supposed to travel to Black Desert with Zhuo Qunfeng from Qunlun Faction. Though Zhuo Qunfeng and his team did not discuss their plans in detail, Chen Xiaobei could roughly guess that they were looking for Jingjue Faction as well.
This was pleasant coincidence to Chen Xiaobei. Not only could he help Luo Puti look for her parents but also search for the treasure that Yin Wuqiu had just mentioned.
“Alright! Let’s pack up! We should get ready to leave now!”
Chen Xiaobei then stored the Heart Cleansing Ancient Plate, crafting metals, top-tier jade stones, and some other items into his Infinite Space Ring.
“Bro Bei… There’s no need to rush! I still have something to show you!”
Yin Wiqiu walked to the wall and knocked on a few bricks.
“What are you doing?”
Looking at Yin Wuqiu, Chen Xiaobei was feeling curious.
Soon after that, Chen Xiaobei was shocked by what he saw.
Buzz…
Swoosh…
A hidden door was unlocked before him and a large amount of Spiritual Stones poured out from it.
“There are 50,000 Spiritual Stones here. Bro Bei, please take them all.”
After he ate the Heavenly Dog Biscuit that Chen Xiaobei gave him, his life now completely belonged to Chen Xiaobei. There was no reason for him to keep all those Spiritual Stones for himself.
“Damn! I almost forgot about all those Spiritual Stones! How can a treasure vault exist without Spiritual Stones inside it?!”
With a wide Cheshire Cat grin, Chen Xiaobei quickly stored all 50,000 Spiritual Stones inside his Infinite Space Ring. All of them were lower-grade Spiritual Stones. To Chen Xiaobei, it was nothing impressive. However, Spiritual Stones were still an important resource for any elite. No one would say no to them.
Until now, Chen Xiaobei had a total of 1,500 medium-grade Spiritual Stones, 57,000 lower-grade Spiritual Stones, where 7,000 of them were being in their Spiritual Qi state, and were stored inside the Green Jade Gourd. Other than that, Chen Xiaobei still had a silver-tier beast core, a bronze-tier beast core, and 51 blacksteel-tier beast cores! To sum it up, he still had a 3,000 year old Ginseng Fruit to help him with his cultivation.
“I still have a couple of days left before traveling to the Black Desert. I think I should take this time to increase my cultivation! My current lifespan is 2,070 years. If I consume that Ginseng Fruit, my lifespan will increase to 5,070 years. If I use the Dark Power though, my lifespan will then decrease by 5,000 years, leaving me with 70 years! Using the Sunlight Cache to speed up my training would give me an additional 100 years of lifespan every minute!”
“That being said, I don’t even have enough lifespan to use the Sunlight Cache! I will have to train at normal speed! Every hour, I would be able to increase combat power by 100! I might need all my given days to finish consuming the beast cores! Shit! I really need more lifespan to spend! The Old Leader writes too damn slowly! Look like I’ll need to rush the other three million words out of him for me to get another Ginseng Fruit!”
While leaving the vault and thinking hard at the same time, Chen Xiaobei kept all these items in his Infinite Space Ring. The herbs, martial arts manuals, and weapons were the kind of resource that he sorely needed to strengthen his faction, especially the herbs. Chen Xiaobei could use these herbs to craft different types of pills.
“Maybe I should teach Old Leader to make his own Hundred Herbs Potion. With that, he would be able to work resting! Hehehe…”
Ring!
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei’s cellphone rang.
It was Gu Congwen.
Clearly, he had called Chen Xiaobei to trade with him.
“Hello, Manager Gu. How can I help you?”
“Since both of us know each other, let me get straight to the point! Do you still have more paintings that you want to sell? There will be a huge auction coming up soon. I believe that you can earn a lot by selling your paintings there!”
“I don’t have any paintings with me anymore but I do have a favour that I need from you!”
