This giant crab had been promoted to Ninth Grade White Fang over a hundred years ago.

In other words, this treasure ship had also been stranded here for a full century.

Inside the ship's cabin, everything visible was covered in thick coral and seaweed.

Jing Qian held an iron skewer, poking and scraping around, searching for anything that might exist.

But such a large ship was completely empty. He went back and forth, spending a good half a day, only managing to pry out seventy-odd Red Copper Knife Coins and two small Destiny Silver Ingots.

He had already searched eighty percent of the entire cabin area. Most places, aside from the ship's hull itself, had completely decayed.

Whether it was inanimate objects or living creatures, nothing could withstand the erosion of time and seawater, as well as the gnawing destruction of the giant crab.

However, the wood used for the ship's hull was a very peculiar material. It had been submerged for a hundred years without rotting, and not even a drop of seawater had penetrated it.

Jing Qian touched it with his Destiny Essence magic power, and surprisingly, he couldn't easily break through the hull's defense.

No wonder that giant crab treated this ship as its lair.

Fortunately, a cabin deep within the ship's hull had unexpectedly been preserved!

This cabin was located at the very back of the entire ship, at the end of a corridor.

It was narrow enough that the giant crab's claws couldn't reach in, so there was no external interference.

Furthermore, the wooden door of this cabin was tightly shut, so the contents inside should not have been lost.

Jing Qian walked up and turned the large wooden winch on the cabin door, slowly moving aside a crack in this door that had been sealed for a hundred years.

Immediately after, he calmly walked in.

His divine sense had already swept through beforehand. There were no living creatures inside, nor any traces of magic power.

Inside the cabin, there was only a narrow bed and a desk.

Jing Qian had ample reason to believe that this cabin belonged to the ship's captain.

Besides its special location, it was simply because this was the only cabin on the entire ship that was luxurious enough to be a single room.

Jing Qian searched this cabin even more meticulously.

He even temporarily put away the iron skewer in his hand and chose to release two threads, carefully sweeping over every corner, not even missing any crevices.

And surprisingly, his patience truly paid off!

In the lower right corner of the bed, there was actually a very hidden storage compartment that was integrated with the entire bed board.

This compartment could isolate the aura inside and out. If Jing Qian hadn't used these magical threads to drill around everywhere and happened to touch the gap of the compartment, he would absolutely not have discovered the secret within!

He controlled the two threads, slowly drilling inward along the gap of the storage compartment. His entire movement was very gentle, for fear of causing unnecessary damage.

Then, he used the threads to pull the storage compartment and slowly tugged it outward.

With a burst of scattered bubbles, the storage compartment was opened just like that!

And the next second, Jing Qian, along with the contents of the storage compartment, all disappeared into the deep seabed.

Needless to say, he had already arrived in the Void Realm.

Jing Qian was worried that the seawater would damage the items in the compartment.

Therefore, he immediately moved the items into the Void Realm.

Once inside, everything was under his control, and he completely relaxed, carefully examining his gains.

There were only two items in the storage compartment, both of which had endured a hundred years without decay.

The first item was a complete turtle shell the size of a palm, densely inscribed with seal script.

Jing Qian carefully examined it and found that it was another method for refining a Destiny Constitution:

[Destiny Constitution: Tide]

[Rank: White Fang]

[Singing with the waves, dancing with the tide!]

[Refining Method: At the crest of water waves, collect ninth-grade White Fang materials with Kui Water attribute, use magic power to refine talismans onto them, ride the waves, and inscribe the talismans on the soles of your feet.]

Besides the refining method for the Tide Destiny Constitution, there was also a considerable section detailing various methods for its development and utilization.

Normally, for Jing Qian, who possessed one gold and one azure Destiny Constitution, a White Fang-ranked Destiny Constitution wouldn't attract much attention.

However, this Tide Destiny Constitution was practically designed for those living on the sea!

Cultivators only needed to refine this Tide, and the ocean would no longer be a danger or an obstacle.

On the contrary, it would become their absolute home ground!

Whether controlling water and manipulating waves or swimming underwater, it would be no different from aquatic creatures, completely effortless.

For Jing Qian at this moment, it was simply the best functional Destiny Constitution!

With this Tide, his activities at sea would undoubtedly gain countless conveniences.

Therefore, even though this Destiny Constitution was only of the White Fang rank, he felt a slight urge to refine it.

The bright yellow Crab Treasure he had just acquired could be used as the material for refining this Tide Destiny Constitution.

He was confident he could refine it quickly!

It was a pity that Tide was only of the White Fang rank. For ordinary rogue cultivators, it might be considered a decent inheritance.

But it still didn't meet Jing Qian's requirements for himself.

He temporarily put away the turtle shell and turned to look at the second item.

This was another peculiar object!

It was a unique ball resembling a green dumpling, emitting a faint grassy fragrance.

A small piece of paper was attached to this green dumpling, with a short passage of text written on it. Due to the passage of time, the paper was wrinkled and very blurry.

Jing Qian gently peeled off the paper, smoothed it out, and brought it closer to his eyes to carefully discern the text.

Getting closer, he finally made out the words on the paper:

[Dragon Gate Grass Ball]

[Grade: Azure Wing]

[This is the favorite item of the Crimson Scale Dragon Carp. It can attract Crimson Scale Dragon Carp within a range of three thousand li.]

[Usage: Remove this sealed paper strip and place it in seawater.]

Jing Qian was speechless!

What a loss!

He finally managed to dig up an eighth-grade [Azure Wing] level treasure, but due to his carelessness, he used it directly!

Without the paper strip's seal, the [Dragon Gate Grass Ball] in his hand had already begun to tremble.

Jing Qian didn't dare to delay. He quickly flashed out of the [Void Realm] and threw the grass ball into the sea.

This strange grass ball expanded upon contact with water, immediately swelling up!

Jing Qian couldn't predict the effect of this magical item, so he hid back in the [Void Realm] and observed the changes in the real world through the void.

He saw the [Dragon Gate Grass Ball] grow larger and larger. Before long, it had grown into a huge grass ball over a meter long on the seabed.

And a pure [Azure Wing Destiny Essence] emanated from this grass ball, slowly spreading outwards like ripples in the water.

This power of Destiny Essence carried an indescribable attraction, like a call from the depths of the sea, with a fatal allure for specific creatures.
