章節 42: Chapter 42: Tallying the Gains
Although this is a mid-level storage ring, worth at least two hundred thousand gold coins.
However, it felt uncomfortable.
"Brother Yang, this storage ring appears quite upscale. It doesn't look like a low-level storage ring. Aren't we taking it?" Xian'er asked, somewhat reluctant.
"This is a mid-level storage ring with an internal space of about a hundred square meters." Wei Yang shook his head, "I don't want to take it, let's leave it for Gu Te."
"A mid-level storage ring?" Xian'er widened her eyes, looking down at the ring on her hand, which was still a low-level one.
To think of just leaving it?
"Ahem, I've already taken one mid-level storage ring from him. Once we sort out the contents, I'll give it to you." Wei Yang cleared his throat, "As for this one, let's leave it for him. We've taken enough from him, let's leave him a bit."
Wei Yang couldn't explain to her that this storage ring was previously worn on that sleazy old man's thing...
"Oh, alright then." Xian'er nodded, accepting the explanation, "Leaving him a storage ring is fine since we've taken so much good stuff from him."
"Yes, it's good to leave a margin. We have no grievances with him, there's no need to be ruthless." Wei Yang agreed with her.
"Should we leave now?" Xian'er asked.
"We haven't explored everything here yet." Wei Yang led Xian'er to a wall, "Once we've cleared out everything inside, we'll leave."
Xian'er glanced at the smooth wall before them, blinking, "Is there still a secret room behind this wall?"
"Yes." Wei Yang nodded, releasing powerful soul energy to cover the entire wall.
Moments later.
With a slight muffled sound, the wall before them slowly split open to reveal an opening behind it.
"There really is one." Xian'er's eyes lit up, "I wonder if there are any precious medicinal materials inside."
Wei Yang glanced at her, thinking she only cared about medicinal materials.
He sent his soul energy through the entrance to probe inside.
After scanning, he withdrew his soul energy.
Inside was a secret room about twenty square meters in size, which seemed to be used for closed cultivation or alchemy.
However, it was empty.
Apart from a few tables, chairs, cushions, and a small desk, there was nothing else.
Wei Yang recalled in the original work, Gu Te specifically opened this wall in front of Xiao Yan, then entered and took out Ice Spirit Cold Spring from inside.
He thought it was also a treasure room with lots of goodies.
It turned out that Gu Te, when trading with Xiao Yan, specifically entered this room just to take something out from his pants...
Damn, this old trickster, I'm impressed.
Wei Yang was speechless.
Indeed, if one has good things, keeping them in a storage ring on oneself is the safest.
Unlike those big families or sects with treasure vaults guarded around the clock.
Plus, Gu Te's storage ring was hidden in such a secluded place on his body.
...
"Brother Yang, what's wrong? Is there anything inside?" Xian'er couldn't help but ask seeing Wei Yang standing still.
"Yes, there are good things, you go in and take them," Wei Yang joked.
"Oh." Xian'er didn't doubt him and obediently went inside.
Wei Yang chuckled and turned to wait at the door.
Soon after, Xian'er came out pouting, ran over, pinched his waist, and said coyly, "Big meanie, you tricked me, I'm going to pinch you to death..."
"Haha, I'm sorry..." Wei Yang laughed, pleading for mercy.
He then took her out of the room, stood in the corridor, looked back at the still sleeping Gu Te, and asked, "Xian'er, how long until he wakes up?"
"Um..." Xian'er thought for a moment and said, "About over twelve hours."
"As long as he wakes up." Wei Yang nodded, "After all, we're only after the wealth, not life. Plus, he's Dan King Gu He's brother. It's fine to take wealth, but if he dies, Dan King Gu He might go mad."
"Twelve hours later, we'll be far from Black Rock City." Wei Yang smiled, taking Xian'er away.
After leaving the building, they closed the door.
Enveloped in a large black cloak, they disappeared into the darkness.
...
Early the next morning, Wei Yang and Xian'er left the city.
After leaving Black Rock City, they immediately flew.
Five days later, having crossed almost half of the Jia Ma Empire, they finally returned to Wu Tan City.
That night upon returning home, they quickly tidied up the house and rested.
The next morning, they started sorting out their gains.
Xian'er had forty-eight kinds of precious rare medicinal materials of grades four to five.
Among them were three Grade Four medicinal materials useful for soul restoration called Soul Nourishing Lotus.
As for Wei Yang, besides the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and the alchemy recipes for Dou Ling Dan and Emperor's Extreme Pill, he had two pills: Green Spirit Three-Stripe Pill and Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.
There were also four thick, ancient books.
After finishing the inventory, there was Gu Te's storage ring, with an internal space of almost twenty square meters and a height of about five meters.
This was already a very decent storage ring.
With a thought, Wei Yang emptied its contents onto the hall floor.
"This storage ring is yours." Wei Yang tossed the now-empty ring to Xian'er.
Xian'er caught it, examined it, and exclaimed, "The internal space is so large, almost like a room. Don't you want it, Brother Yang?"
Wei Yang lifted his hand, showing a ring obtained from a cliff cave adventure, smiling, "I have a bigger one."
This storage ring had an internal space of about three hundred square meters and a height similar to a three-story building, making it a rare high-level storage ring.
"Oh." Xian'er happily kept the ring.
She was still using Mu She's low-level storage ring with only five square meters of space.
Then, in high spirits, they began organizing the pile of items before them.
First, they sorted out the bottles and jars.
There were some common third-grade pills like Qi Returning Pills, Healing Pills, and Detox Pills.
Next were some common second and third-grade spiritual herbs, likely for Gu Te's regular use.
Then there were many books and notes, mostly basic alchemist knowledge, which Wei Yang set aside for organizing.
This basic alchemist knowledge was crucial.
Some notes were written by several third and fourth-grade alchemists, including Gu Te himself, about their experiences and insights on alchemy.
Next were many alchemy recipes and scrolls, from first-grade to ordinary fourth-grade recipes, well-rounded, commonly used types.
Not particularly precious, but comprehensive.
They also found several Xuan-level martial skills, techniques, and a fire control technique.
A Xuan-level intermediate fire attribute technique, Flaming Art.
A Xuan-level intermediate fire attribute martial skill, Flaming Palm.
A Xuan-level initial fire attribute martial skill, Flaming Finger.
And an ancient family fire control technique with annotations from two people.
One annotator kept a moderate and gentle demeanor.
The other was a bit arrogant, deliberately countering the former at some points.
Undoubtedly, it was annotations from Dan King Gu He and his brother Gu Te.
