Chapter 312: Spoils of War
Chapter 312 Spoils of Battle
Unable to figure it out, Jiang Mengyu stopped pondering and turned to retrieve the ring from the skeleton’s finger, prodding it with her divine sense, and indeed discovered that it was a storage ring.
The space inside the ring was approximately over a hundred square meters with a height of six meters. It was considered a large storage ring.
After inspecting the ring, she understood why the lecherous ghost did not store those mundane items in the ring—inside, it was filled with various medicinal herbs packaged in jade boxes, along with a pill cauldron.
It was clear that this was a Pill Cultivator. Probably after losing his physical body, he could no longer perform alchemy, but the spiritual medicines in the valley needed to be harvested when they matured, hence all these medicinal herbs were stored inside this ring.
Although Jiang Mengyu had absorbed his spiritual body, she did not retrieve his memories because she was afraid that his memories might contain something that could lead to karma, so she simply crushed them.
Therefore, she did not know his past.
There were also numerous pill bottles inside the ring, containing various kinds of pills. There were not many for those below the Foundation Establishment Stage; most were for the Golden Core Stage.
Jiang Mengyu’s guess was correct; this was a Golden Core Master. It was unknown why his physical body had perished here, yet his spiritual body was retained.
The ring was very useful and also excellent in preserving freshness. Retrieving items from it was more convenient than from the storage cabinet in her own space, so she decided to use it herself.
Aside from the spiritual medicines, pill cauldron, and pills, the ring also contained Wood and Fire Cultivation Techniques and Alchemy Formulas, indicating that the lecherous ghost had Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Roots and was a Pill Cultivator.
However, neither his Wood-Fire Cultivation Techniques nor his Alchemy Formulas caught Jiang Mengyu’s eye.
She felt that these techniques were not as good as her Wood Immortal Skill. As for the Fire Element Skills, she had no use for them.
Still, it was good to keep them. Maybe Gu Dongxing could use them upon returning?
The Alchemy Formulas certainly weren’t as good as her Pill Manual, but the pill recipes inside were worth learning.
In the ring, there was a high-grade magic sword, a high-grade magic saber, a top-grade magic bow, ten top-grade magic arrows, and a small black medicine hoe the grade of which she could not discern.
Additionally, there was a fan identical to the one carried by the spiritual body of the lecherous ghost.
To Jiang Mengyu’s surprise, this fan turned out to be the legendary Spiritual Artifact. The fan that the lecherous ghost’s spirit body had was actually the Artifact Spirit of this fan.
Apart from these items, there was also a pile of jade cut into pieces two fingers wide and one finger long. Jiang Mengyu took out two pieces to observe and noticed that some of the jade had high transparency while others did not.
She sensed that all these pieces of jade contained Spiritual Energy, and the higher the transparency, the more Spiritual Energy they contained.
Upon seeing the jade, Xiao Tao immediately clamored, "Those are the Immortal Cultivation World’s universal currency, Spirit Stones. The one in your hand with high transparency is a top-grade Spirit Stone, give it to me, and I can immediately expand this space to be even wider."
Yet Jiang Mengyu did not hand over the Spirit Stone: "I still need these."
According to the classification mentioned by Xiao Tao, Jiang Mengyu found that there were 31 top-grade Spirit Stones, 6382 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and 39801 low-grade Spirit Stones.
Although Jiang Mengyu did not give the Spirit Stones to Xiao Tao, she did collect all the mundane items from the cave into her space.
These items all had a history of at least a thousand years, and there was a decent amount of essence value on them.
Jiang Mengyu said, "Don’t take all the Essence Value; these antiques can still be sold for money."
Xiao Tao immediately brightened up again, "I can extract two hundred and eighty thousand Essence Value from these; Master, is it all for expanding the space?"
