Chapter 48: Acquiring a Pure Artifact
Chapter 48: Acquiring a Pure Artifact
"Hmmm... Brother Lein, you can actually use the soul barrier removal service for the spatial ring at Vortal Shop or the Grand Pavilion," explained Liang Wei.
He then looked at Zhao Feng and said, "Elder Feng, please help Brother Lein to remove the ring's barrier."
Zhao Feng seemed to agree and extended his hand towards Lein.
"Hand it over..."
Lein quickly retrieved the silver ring he had obtained when he killed the Alpha Command level creature during the battle in the Guandu realm.
"Here you go, Master Zhao..."
The silver ring in Lein's hand floated into Elder Zhao Feng's hand.
Elder Zhao Feng examined the silver ring for a few seconds. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
A red plant floated out of the ring. The plant had several golden stripes on its leaves. In the center, white pollen adorned the stamens.
"Soul Grass!?..."
Liang Wei shouted loudly.
He was about to grab the Soul Grass to take a closer look. However, Elder Zhao Feng kept it away from him.
"Don't touch it, young master. Soul Grass is very sensitive and can be damaged if touched directly," explained Elder Zhao.
Liang Wei was not only unoffended, but his eyes were now filled with tears. He was very happy and almost cried with joy. The grass he had been searching for was right in front of him.
"Young master Lein, I apologize for the impoliteness. I saw the contents of your ring and found the Soul Grass."
Elder Zhao spoke calmly. He indeed intentionally looked inside the ring, which was very easy for him.
Moreover, he was well aware of Liang Wei's special eyes. People with bright auras bring fortune that can defy the heavens. So, he would try anything related to Lein.
Even during the patrol, he killed all the enemies and examined the items on their bodies.
Previously, he felt a bit disappointed for not finding anything. But now, he realized he had made a mistake before. He believed he could intervene with the threads of fortune. And it turned out he couldn't do anything.
"Haha... It's nothing, Master Zhao. We are very happy that the Soul Grass can help young master Liang Wei," Lein replied politely.
However, inside, Lein felt a bit hurt. His duplication skill was still on cooldown. Wouldn't his wealth increase if he duplicated it first?
Nita, who had been silent on the side, widened her eyes as she saw the notification panel appear.
[Liang Wei's Hidden Mission]
- Name: Liang Wei
- Rank: B
- Description: Help Liang Wei find information (Soul Grass)
- Reward: ???
[Rank increased to S level]
[Received reward (Pure grade Artifact)]
Sure enough, this time Liang Wei took out a white ring with a large red crystal on the outer side.
"Brother Lein, as a token of appreciation, please accept this ring," Liang Wei offered the ring to Lein.
"This ring can reduce the mana consumption of skills, it will greatly help you in the future," Liang Wei added.
His admiration for Lein was very high at this moment.
"Hahaha, alright, I won't be polite then." Lein pretended not to be surprised. He took the ring and checked the status panel.
(Time Ring)
- Type: Active Artifact
- Grade: Pure
- Essence: 890
- Ability: Reduces skill cooldown time by 80%.
"Crazy... A pure artifact? Reduces all cooldowns by 80%?" Lein exclaimed in his heart.
He then handed it to Nita, letting her see the information about the Time Ring.
Nita was no different, her mouth forming an 'O' shape.
"Brother Wei, this item is very valuable," said Nita to Liang Wei. She still couldn't believe that Liang Wei's hidden mission reward was so precious.
"Sister Nita, I should be the one thanking you. With this grass, my mother will be healed and healthy again," Liang Wei said firmly.
"Alright then, thank you, Brother Wei. I hope your mother gets well soon," Nita said sincerely.
"Thank you, Sister Nita."
"Well, we will be leaving now. We might not meet again in the near future."
"But I hope we will meet again in the future."
Liang Wei bowed deeply with gratitude.
Then he waved to Lein and Nita.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Liang Wei..."
Soon, Elder Zhao Feng tossed the silver ring back to Lein. Then he waved his hand, and a white light enveloped him and Liang Wei.
...
They disappeared.
"Huft... Very strong."
"Yes, too strong."
Lein and Nita could only sigh heavily seeing Elder Zhao Feng's skills. What would it feel like to have such power? As strong as Elder Zhao Feng?
After Liang Wei and Elder Zhao Feng left, Lein checked the contents of the now unbarred silver spatial ring.
Lein's consciousness entered the space inside the ring, and he saw many things: silver, gold, crystals, weapons, pills, medicine bottles, skill books, etc.
From a quick scan, Lein estimated there were at least 10,000,000 energy crystals, hundreds of weapons, thousands of medicines, several beast eggs, 76 Power Essences, and many other supporting items like clothes, wood, stones, fruits, etc.
Lein also saw some horrifying items inside the spatial ring, including several corpses of both animals and humans. Just by looking at them, Lein knew that Voirel was not a good person.
Among the many items, one particularly caught Lein's attention. It was shaped like a necklace with a ruby pendant.
Lein checked the panel of the necklace.
(Demon Worshipper's Necklace - Fake)
- Type: Active Artifact
- Grade: Damaged
- Essence: 82
- Ability: Transform into a demon worshipper, increasing all stats by 20% for 1 minute.
"It seems this was used by Voirel in his final moments," Lein said, recalling Voirel's death.
Lein felt satisfied with the inspection of the silver ring's contents, then looked at Nita beside him and asked, "Anything else? If not, we will return to the Heavenly Sky realm."
Hearing Lein's question, Nita nodded and said, "Yes, let's go back."
Soon they hurried towards the main portal to the Heavenly Sky realm.
On their way to the portal, Lein and Nita saw several people from various races hurrying in the opposite direction.
They must be striving hard to go to war to earn income and advance themselves.
Unlike them, his journey had been relatively easy thanks to his SSS-level talent. Of course, this didn't include the time he faced Voirel.
