Chapter 701: Chapter 272: Donor Xiao, You Must Have an Affinity with Our Buddha
The largest portion of the haul was, naturally, the massive piles of Spirit Stones.
There were enough to nearly bury Xiao Chen up to his neck.
A careful count revealed a staggering 1,294,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones and 5,680 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.
’Carrying this many Spirit Stones on his person?’
Xiao Chen was taken aback. A situation like this was rare.
Setting aside his own exceptional circumstances, even the Sword Pavilion True Inheritor from the Cloud Sea Sword Pavilion he had looted back in the Cangran Secret Realm only had a little over 300,000 Spirit Stones.
And it was worth remembering that a Sword Pavilion True Inheritor was already considered among the wealthier cultivators.
Most Golden Core Cultivators could earn a fair number of Spirit Stones, but they were usually either scraping by to afford Spiritual Artifacts or spending their earnings on various resources to further their cultivation.
They rarely had much left over.
For that Bronze Masked Cultivator to be carrying so many Spirit Stones, he must have had some other purpose.
Next were three Spiritual Artifacts that hadn’t been used yet, including a rather valuable Spirit Shield.
Then there were some decent quality Elixirs, Talismans, and other miscellaneous items.
After that was a peculiar Cultivation Technique.
’Supreme Bright King World Relief Scripture?’
Xiao Chen briefly skimmed the contents. It appeared to be a Cultivation Method.
What made it different, however, was its use of many obscure terms. Large portions were even written in the Ancient Spirit Language.
He struggled to read it, finding it incredibly difficult and unable to comprehend the meaning at all.
But at the very least, he could deduce that its previous owner had an extraordinary background.
’Could he have also been the successor of some Hidden Dao Lineage?’
Considering the current situation in the Compassion Sea, it wasn’t a stretch for Xiao Chen to imagine that the man had some impressive origins.
Of course, that alone wasn’t enough to confirm it.
’But wait, the Black Market Token also seemed to be inscribed with the Ancient Spirit Language.’
Xiao Chen frowned. ’And he had deliberately switched to a new Identity Token. The cultivators in the Black Market also wear masks, just of a different style.’
’Is there a connection between them?’
’Or is it just a coincidence?’
Setting these questions aside for the moment, Xiao Chen continued to inspect the remaining items.
Inside the Storage Ring was another small, untitled booklet.
Flipping it open, he found it was a hand-copied Pill Formula.
’Oh, so he was an Alchemist, too?’
It had been a while since Xiao Chen had seen one of these.
He patiently examined it and was surprised to find that the entire booklet was dedicated to the refining process of a single Tier Four Spirit Pill.
That’s right—more than ten pages, containing several thousand words and over twenty illustrations.
All of it just to detail one Pill Formula: the Three Treasures Nourishing Soul Pill.
Its main function was to slightly augment one’s Divine Sense while greatly improving its quality.
’Jeez, why make it so complicated?’
Xiao Chen placed the Pill Formula into his Vast Sea Ring for safekeeping. This was quite a precious resource.
Beyond these items, there were also six Spirit Pearls, four Spirit Storage Boxes, two Sheepskin Scrolls, and a letter.
First were the six Spirit Pearls, all of them Tier Four Water Element Spirit Pearls.
Each one was the size of a small watermelon, too large to be held in one hand; he had to cradle it.
Just by holding one, the immense and abundant Water Spirit Power within it bored straight into his body.
At first glance, Xiao Chen thought they looked like pearls.
Strangely, however, all six Spirit Pearls were identical in size and luster, with no discernible differences, as if they had been cast from the same mold.
If they truly were pearls, one would have to sort through thousands, if not tens of thousands, of similar ones just to find six that were this perfectly matched.
But what kind of place could possibly possess thousands of Tier Four Spirit Pearls?
The very thought was absurd.
