Inside the Underground Cave.
Chen Mu's eyes shone as he repeatedly examined the Red Skin Gourd in his hands.
It was palm-length, with a belly the size of a fist, and entirely fiery red.
Holding it felt like holding an iron lump, heavy as if cast from metal.
Yet its surface lacked metal's chill. Instead, it gave off a faint warmth, like a hand warmer.
When he tried channeling mana into the Red Skin Gourd, its surface temperature immediately rose. Now it truly had become a hand warmer.
What a pity I can't command the Flying Sword. Chen Mu thought regretfully.
Any magical artifact required the appropriate incantation to activate.
After playing with it for a long while, he finally set it down reluctantly.
I only hope this ring contains the Secret Art for controlling the Flying Sword. Chen Mu found himself somewhat nervous.
Faint points of Silver Thread shimmered across the Emerald Jade Ring's surface. Seven black dots were evenly distributed around the center of its inner band, indicating that the ring held seven Mustard Seed Spaces.
"It's even a high-end item." Chen Mu raised his brows, though he found it perfectly reasonable.
Sun Wuhuan was a second-generation cultivator and held a lucrative post in the Affairs Office. How could he possibly lack money?
Mana surged in.
Buzz!
The air trembled faintly.
A pile of White Jade, two piles of talismans, and three black-lacquered Wooden Cabinets appeared one after another.
Chen Mu's eyes could not help widening at the sight before him.
"This pile of White Jade alone has to be worth at least ten thousand, right?!" Chen Mu could not help chuckling.
"Find the Secret Art first." Suppressing the urge to immediately count the White Jade, Chen Mu pulled over the three Wooden Cabinets and searched through them.
