A few months passed by in a blink of an eye as I concentrated on trying.

Jiang Ping An devoted almost all his energy to studying this mysterious animal skin, urging World Eye again and again to try to uncover its hidden secrets.

However, the results disappointed him.

He, World Eye, who can comprehend the divine objects Rules such as [Haotian Purple Flame Dragon]Origin Divine Spark and [Half-Step Sovereign Skeleton], seems completely useless in front of this animal skin.

As far as the eye can see, there is still chaos, and it is impossible to penetrate the layer of Rules fog.

He tried other methods, too.

For example, stamp Divine Soul Imprint on it.

Generally speaking, when Low-level Spirit tries to imprint a soul on a high-level artifact, Divine Soul Imprint will mostly be shattered or rejected by the power of the artifact itself.

But this animal hide is completely different.

It neither shatters nor repels the mark, but absorbs the Divine Soul Imprint that was injected.

Like a stone sinking into the sea, there is no longer any feeling.

This characteristic made him feel very strange.

In addition to branding the soul, he also tried identifying the owner by dripping blood and observing through flame light with different attributes.

He even placed it close to his body for a long time in an attempt to elicit some kind of resonance...

Over the past few months, he tried dozens of methods and spent a lot of energy.

But no matter how hard he tried, the animal skin showed no reaction and remained quietly in his hand.

"It seems that it is safer to sell it."

Jiang Ping An rubbed his swollen temples and thought about retreating.

If he is the only one who knows the secret of this animal skin, he may choose to seal it temporarily and study it later when his cultivation level improves.

But the reality is that not many people know about the existence of this animal skin.

Young Master Ning Yun Ya of Hua Miao Lou, Lan Jie of the Lan Clan Royal Family, and the couple who explored the ruins together...

Especially Ning Yun Ya and Lan Jie, these two people have profound backgrounds and huge power.

It would be easier for them to deal with a Second Level God King like him than crushing an insect.

Once they learn that the animal skin is in their hands, the consequences will be disastrous.

With better luck, the other party might make an offer to buy it.

If he was unlucky, his life might have been taken away along with the hide.

Rather than being frightened by this worthless thing and worrying that the secret will be leaked, it is better to turn this hot potato away and exchange for some cultivation resources.

The priority sales target is naturally Hua Miao Lou Young Master Ning Yun Ya.

The two have cooperated before, and the other party is quite particular about his behavior and pays generously.

Moreover, he is now in Hua Miao Lou, so it is convenient to contact him.

"Hey."

Jiang Ping An sighed lightly, feeling a little frustrated.

In the past few months, he not only spent a lot of time and energy, but also used up all the elixirs to replenish Mental Power.

Even the [Mummy Soul Tree] fragment that can nourish the soul, the Soul Force contained in it, was drained by him to support the consumption of World Eye.

In the end, nothing was gained.

Now, I just hope that I can sell this animal skin at a good price, and at least make back the cost of resources consumed in the past few months...

He put away the animal skin and was about to stand up. He seemed to have thought of something, but his movements suddenly stopped.

"Wait! [Mummy Soul Tree] fragment?!"

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning, reminding him of the [Mummy Soul Tree] fragment.

Back then, Ning Yun Ya organized the exploration of Zhum Civilization Ruins, and its main goal was to find [Mummy Soul Tree].

When the main trunk of [Mummy Soul Tree] was finally discovered, there were also two pieces of Supreme Treasure, an animal skin and a clay pot.

At that time, the group of people fought over the treasure. In the aftermath of the battle, a fragment of [Mummy Soul Tree] flew away, which he happened to pick up.

He sensed that this fragment contained pure soul power, so he kept it in the sea of consciousness to nourish the soul.

Since this [Mummy Soul Tree] can be placed at the core of the ruins together with animal skins and clay pots, is there some connection between the three?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Ping An's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

He immediately concentrated and took out the coke-like [Mummy Soul Tree] fragment from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

This thing has cold tentacles, with a metallic texture, but it is clearly made of wood, which is very strange.

With this last glimmer of hope, Jiang Ping An held his breath and placed the missing piece of Soul Force firmly on the animal hide.

He held his breath and stared at the hide with all his concentration, not missing any subtle changes.

The animal skin and the [Mummy Soul Tree] fragments fit together quietly. From the outside, they looked like two randomly placed items, without any abnormality.

However, a look of ecstasy could not be suppressed on Jiang Ping An's face.

From his World Eye perspective, the situation is completely different!

He "saw" that the Rule Power inside the animal hide, which had been as silent as dead water, was connected to the Rules fragment of [Mummy Soul Tree]!

There is indeed some internal connection between the two!

He suppressed his inner excitement and observed more carefully.

If you look closely, you will find that the animal skin is trying to draw power from the [Mummy Soul Tree] fragments.

However, the Soul Force in this fragment has long been consumed by him, and it cannot provide any energy at this moment.

Jiang Ping An realized that the hide needed Soul Power.

He immediately stretched out his finger, pressed it on the [Mummy Soul Tree] fragment, and injected his own Soul Power into the fragment.

Sure enough, with the injection of Soul Power, the animal skin was activated and trembled suddenly!

A more obvious suction force came and began to pass through the bridge of fragments, absorbing the Soul Power injected by Jiang Ping An!

Under his nervous gaze, an even more magical scene happened.

This [Mummy Soul Tree] fragment was integrated into the animal hide.

And where the fragment was originally placed, a black pattern mark that was exactly the same as the shape of the [Mummy Soul Tree] fragment appeared on the surface of the animal skin!

[Mummy Soul Tree] Although the fragments are integrated into the animal hide, they are still able to absorb Soul Force.

The pattern formed by the integration of this fragment seemed to be an "interface" or "key", connecting him with this mysterious animal skin.

The animal skin absorbed Soul Force very quickly. In just a few moments, it sucked Soul Power dry again, which he had just recovered from. A strong feeling of weakness came over him.

Jiang Ping An has a strong hunch that this animal hide is extremely eager for Soul Power. As long as it continues to provide energy for it, it is likely to trigger some kind of qualitative change and reveal its true secret!

He gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, took out a bottle of precious soul-replenishing elixir, and absorbed it all with Devouring Space.

He secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the value of this thing would be worthy of the huge price he was about to pay.

Otherwise, you will really suffer a big loss this time.

Over the next few months, he began the long and tedious process of "feeding."

The elixir on his body was quickly exhausted.

He wanted to give up for a while, but when he thought about the time and resources invested, it would be wasted, and he couldn't bring himself to do it.

In the end, he comforted himself in his heart. Anyway, most of the Spirit King Pill he bought and invested were accidentally won in the casino. It was considered a windfall. Even if he lost it, he wouldn't feel too distressed...

With this "gambler" mentality, he exchanged the remaining half of his Spirit King Pill for various high-level elixirs that could replenish and restore Soul Power.

This huge sum of money, if used to purchase resources, is enough to exchange for a top-notch King-level fourth-order Divine Weapon!

For a Second Level God King, under normal circumstances, it would take at least a hundred years to earn so many Spirit King Pill through one's own accumulation.

He was placing a huge bet and making a huge gamble.

In the days that followed, Jiang Ping An almost completely stopped practicing and spent all his time doing one thing:

Restore Soul Power, and then inject it into the animal skin through the pattern mark.

However, this animal skin is like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring massive amounts of Soul Power, but there has never been any useful change.

Two years passed in this boring cycle.

When the Soul Power transformed by the last pill was also swallowed up by the animal skin, the animal skin remained unchanged.

Jiang Ping An's entire figure had all its strength drained away, and lay limply on the cold Cultivation Platform, staring blankly at the top of the quiet room with empty eyes.

A huge feeling of loss and regret came over me.

That's why he doesn't like gambling.

Tens of thousands of Spirit King Pill, countless precious elixirs, and nearly three years of hard work... all went to waste.

You can still hear the noise even if it is wasted.

However, the animal skin has not changed at all.

Strong regret gnawed at his heart, and he even wanted to chop off his own hand.

The psychological emotion of Jiang Ping An at this moment is the emotion of every gambler after losing a bet.

Betting on dogs really doesn't end well! Never make such uncertain bets again!

"When Soul Power recovers a little, I will sell this old animal hide, hoping to get some money back..."

These are Jiang Ping An's final thoughts.

If he hadn't been obsessed with it and bet a huge amount of resources on this animal skin, he could have used these resources to realize the Rules he needed to the perfect level of Second Level God King.

This will greatly enhance combat power and prepare for the impact of God King Third Level.

But now... there is nothing.

"Huh~"

After a long time, Soul Power, who had exhausted Jiang Ping An, finally recovered a little, and his mentality barely recovered from the huge blow.

He supported his still weak body, slowly sat up, reached out and picked up the animal skin that cost him everything, and prepared to go find Ning Yun Ya to dispose of it.

However, just when he was about to roll it up, his movements suddenly froze and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He was shocked to see that at some point in the center of the Mummy Soul Tree Fragment pattern on the surface of the animal skin, a small black tip grew!

Is this... germination??
