Chapter 26: The Qian Kun Jade Ring

  "No, we owe our lives to Little Brother, how can we bear to fight with you over things." Zhao Xue said calmly with a smile. His eyes stared at Guo Fei's Qian Kun Jade Ring and the corpse, speaking calmly. But his eyes revealed a hint of shock and indignation, which was still caught by Guo Fei.

  Guo Fei actually didn't know what this thing was, he just heard Zhao Ba's exclamation and knew it wasn't an ordinary item. He wanted to continue asking Zhao Xue, but was afraid she would deceive him. If this was a precious treasure, Guo Fei was certain she would do everything in her power to get it. At that moment, Zhao Ba was too weak from hunger, and the spiritual energy of the Yuan Lingzhu had been depleted. The two of them were no match for him, so he didn't dare make any rash moves.

  "Little brother, you don't know the usage of Qian Kun Ring, do you? This is a treasure storage ring. Why not take a look and see if there's any talisman or treasure that can deal with the undead? Those who possess the Qian Kun Ring are all powerful cultivators, perhaps we'll be saved." Zhao Xue looked at Guo Fei, reminding him in a gentle tone, with an appearance of being very kind and probing.

  "This little hoof is up to no good!" Guo Fei thought to himself.

  Then he smiled at Zhao Xue and said: "How can this be used? I am a poor man, with limited knowledge, and really do not know."

  "The Qian Kun Ring is a treasure created by the Ling tribe, extremely valuable. Only high-ranking five-element cultivators have the financial resources to purchase it, otherwise only royalty and nobility possess one. My elder sister, Princess Ling, has one. It was given to her as a birthday gift by Prince Zhao."

  "If this thing is ownerless, your spiritual power isn't strong enough, you can drip blood on it, which is the same as using a talisman, and then you can see what's inside and even take it out. If it has an owner, your spiritual power must surpass that of its owner to force it open. However, this should be an ownerless object." Zhao Xue explained.

  Guo Fei stared into her eyes, pondering for a moment, knowing she wasn't lying. At this time, leaving safely was her top priority. Moreover, the two of them weren't their own opponents, and their lives were in their own hands, so they probably wouldn't play tricks. As for whether they would force Guo Fei to hand over something or even kill him after leaving, Guo Fei judged that they might do such a thing.

  Bite your finger, and a drop of blood dripped onto it. The blood quickly seeped in. Guo Fei's consciousness sank into it, and indeed, inside was a space. However, the space wasn't big, less than ten square meters, but it was packed with things.

  First were three huge black iron blocks. As Guo Fei's consciousness swept over them, a chill aura was unexpectedly emitted, apparently they were Cold Iron.

  Next to the cold iron, there were thousands of fire-red crystal blocks, each roughly the same size, as if carved out by a mold. Guo Fei subconsciously judged based on his knowledge that this was Ling Stone, and it should be Fire Ling Stone, because he felt a hint of heat from above.

  Next to the Ling Stone was a book, this book was carved from golden leaves, shining with golden light, and on it were engraved four black characters "Lian Shu Qi Dao".

  "This is a book of refining arms, it doesn't seem like an ordinary product!" Guo Fei thought to himself.

  Next to the book were three talismans. Although Guo Fei didn't know what they were, as soon as his mind approached them, he felt a surge of the Five Elements' aura emanating from his thoughts - one was fiery hot, one was sharp and metallic, and one was icy cold.

  In the corner of this space, there was a crystal ball, fist-sized, and inside the ball, a golden flame like a fire spark was floating around, looking eerie. Guo Fei didn't know what it was, but he knew that every single thing here could lead to his own death.

  "If I want to monopolize, I must kill two people. Otherwise, after going out, being remembered by the two will lead to fatal disaster. With my current ability, it is impossible to deal with the masters of Zhao Guo." Guo Fei's heart was ruthless, and his palm moved towards the Xuan Tie sword.

  "But if that's the case, I wouldn't have had the chance to obtain a military rank and learn the basics of being a scholar. Without knowledge, entering the treasure mountain without recognizing its value is truly pitiful." Guo Fei thought to himself, his hand relaxing once more.

  Measuring it, Guo Fei felt that being able to learn the basic knowledge of refining was still extremely important for himself. With ability, what treasure can't be obtained? In this strictly hierarchical society, only royalty and the wealthy have the opportunity to come into contact with these refining arts. If one doesn't make contact with high society, they'll have to grope in the dark for many years. Just like seeing the Qian Kun ring, if it wasn't for Zhao Ba's exclamation, Guo Fei felt its extraordinariness but didn't know what it was.

  Knowledge is power, and it's really obvious in this world.

  It would be great if it could be moved to the soldier's space. Guo Fei thought for a moment, and with a flicker of his mind, the Qian Kun ring emitted a faint light, and everything inside disappeared. Guo Fei checked again, and these things actually appeared in the main hall of the soldier's symbol.

  "It really can move!" Guo Fei was overjoyed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He stretched out a hand, and a fiery red talisman appeared on his palm.

  "There's nothing inside, only this talisman! I don't know if it can be used?" Guo Fei smiled at Princess Zhao Xue. Guo Fei had no choice but to take out a talisman, the Qian Kun seal was such a treasure that there wasn't a single item inside, and no one would believe him. Moreover, this talisman contained intense firepower, making Guo Fei feel it was an excellent talisman for dealing with undead spirits, so he took it out without hesitation.

  "Sixth-level fire talisman!" Zhao Xue looked at the talisman in Guo Fei's hand and suddenly shouted, snatching it over to take a closer look. She was shocked again: "Inferno Dragon Talisman, we're saved."

  Guo Fei hastily took it over and examined it carefully, and indeed on the talisman was printed a fiery red dragon, with a "six" marked at its tail, indicating that it was a sixth-grade "Inferno Dragon Talisman".

  "Hey, hey. Young mistress, don't you think this乾坤戒 is worth a lot of money? Such a beautiful ring suits your status as the young mistress perfectly. If I wear it, it wouldn't match me at all, just like a beggar wearing a gold chain - and who knows, someone might even steal it from me! How about I sell it to you? You can name a price, I'm really short on money!" Guo Fei's face, which had been icy cold just moments before, suddenly changed to a lecherous smile as he stared at Zhao Xue.

  "Really!" At this time, Zhao Xue was overjoyed and looked at Guo Fei's face, the more she looked, the more pleasing to her eyes, she couldn't help but want to go up and kiss him.

  "Of course! It's just that in terms of price, can the young lady raise it a bit? I'm very poor!" Guo Fei said, rubbing his thumb.

  "Don't worry about the price, and I can ask my father to let you into the lord's library to review the basics of being a monk. Your knowledge as a monk is too weak, it won't do you any good in your cultivation!" Zhao Xue said with a smile.

  "Thank you so much, County Master, but I've already acknowledged allegiance to someone else, what should I do?"

  "This is simple, just recall your thoughts in your heart and hand them over to me."

  Guo Fei listened to Zhao Xue's words and forcibly withdrew his thoughts from the Qian Kun ring, handing it over to Zhao Xue. Zhao Xue hastily took it over, dripping a drop of blood on its surface, and her thoughts deeply entered into it, resulting in a slightly disappointed expression. Indeed, just as Guo Fei had said, this thing was now empty, with only the Yan Long symbol left in Guo Fei's hand.

  No matter how hard she thinks, it's impossible for her to think that Guo Fei can move things out of there.

  "County Master, I'm leaving it up to you. Brother Zhao is also here, you won't be able to leave without giving me the money, will you try to welch on the debt?" Guo Fei said with a worried expression.

  "One hundred thousand gold coins, is it enough for you to spend a lifetime? Then I'll ask my father to reward and recommend you. If you can win the Blackstone County Competition, you can also go to the Imperial City for training and cultivate more advanced martial skills in the palace."

  "Thank you, thank you! However, about the price, how about 200,000 gold coins? Anyway, the young lady doesn't lack gold coins." Guo Fei was secretly delighted in his heart, finally successfully getting rid of this hot potato. This thing had great use for others, but for himself, it wasn't very useful after all. His own military symbol space was vast and boundless. However, to make it more realistic, for the sake of future happiness, Guo Fei shamelessly raised the price.

  "Alright!" Zhao Xue replied readily.

  "Sure enough, you're a country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world. You've been cheated out of the Dry Heaven Ring by your sister!" Zhao Ba glanced at Zhao Xue with some envy, then looked at Guo Fei with disdain. He knew that in battle, having such a Dry Heaven Ring would be a huge help.

  Guo Fei completely ignored him and went to arrange the corpse, clearing away its rotten clothes to reveal a silver-white skeleton like jade, but strangely, a faint golden color seeped out from this skeleton, and several golden threads ran through the entire body.
