Three Treasures

"Pupil Technique - Absolute Insight: You have pierced through the disguise of the deepest depths of the Outer Ring Sea..."

"You've discovered the ' Returning Ruins Water Mansion '..."

Lines of faint information flashed by.

As the perceived details become more and more refined.

Roger's mood gradually calmed down.

now.

He was outside a huge vortex.

And at the center of the vortex.

Suddenly, a magnificent crystal palace appeared.

Inside the Crystal Palace.

A wisp of water vapor gradually rose.

Eventually, several extremely powerful dragon energies formed above the palace.

Half of the dragon's body was exposed in the very center of the dragon's aura.

That's the upper body of "Celestial Dragon Ao Yue"! Judging from appearance alone.

Ao Yue's appearance is exactly the same as that of a human female.

Only a few details reveal Tianlong's identity.

She was only wearing a pink strapless top when she showed her upper body to Roger.

This made the latter exclaim, "Ao Yue's level is just too high..."

"No, this template is way too white..."

Put aside the visual impact.

Ao Yue's strength should not be underestimated.

However, after careful observation...

Roger's earlier shock had long since vanished.

Ao Yue's total level exceeds 200.

But this does not mean that she is already a god.

According to the intelligence gathered by the Injured Wolf.

Her Job Levels is exactly LV199!

The reason why Ao Yue was able to reach a total level of 202 is because she has Authority Level of LV3! Under these circumstances.

Only then could she reach the "Transcendental" state! Although she wasn't a true god.

But Roger dared not be negligent.

Even a Quasi-God beyond the realm is a formidable force.

In fact.

If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes...

He truly hadn't expected that such a powerful being resided on the Mystra Planet!...

"Ascension Perception: You realize that Ao Yue is not a demon, and there are no signs of infection from the Aberrant Matter on her body..."

"Sixth Sense: You haven't noticed Ao Yue's malice towards you..."

"The Injured Wolf: Ao Yue seems to harbor some Blood Feud..."

Preliminary estimates suggest that Ao Yue is over 18,000 years old!...

Preliminary deduction of Ao Yue's three dimensions...

"That's enough, that's enough!"

Roger waved hastily.

He interrupted the wolf cubs' frantic peeking—he could already sense that Ao Yue's initially calm gaze was gradually becoming sharper.

Because they bear Blood Feud.

So, an ancient Qi cultivator who has been secretly cultivating in the depths of Mystra? Roger met her gaze openly.

A conclusion quickly formed in my mind:...

"Then her resistance is probably of the same nature as that of the Dream Weaver Worm!"

"Her true intention may not be to rebel..."

"She just wants to use this to gain more leverage in negotiations with me..."

As expected.

The two stared at each other for almost half a minute.

Ao Yue suddenly made a move.

The steam rising from the palace that was supporting her suddenly pushed upwards.

This action immediately caused Ao Yue's upper body to tremble violently.

In a short time.

Meanwhile, waves surged above the palace.

More than 36 currents, mixed with Lightning Element and Ice Element, pierced towards Roger at extremely high speed! No.

That's not just a simple ocean current.

There are also things mixed in with the ocean currents that are invisible to the naked eye! (See the data panel.)

"Warning: Ao Yue has used the 'Magic Treasure - Mystic Magnetic Ice Spike - Ice Soul Divine Thunder'!"

"Ascension Perception: Ice Soul Divine Thunder is a skill attached to the Mystic Magnetic Ice Spikes."

Its power is equivalent to an 18th-level spell.

In the blink of an eye.

The icy divine lightning, mixed in with the ocean currents, that was rushing towards Roger had already begun to explode in a series around him.

At a critical moment.

Roger made no attempt to dodge.

He just stood there motionless.

I just casually opened two specializations!

Specialty: Defense as Offense!...

Specialty: Gnarled Roots of Old Trees!...

A strange, low rumble of thunder, like the chirping of birds, slowly reached Roger's ears.

He stood there.

With a smile on his face.

It was as if a spring breeze was blowing in our faces.

It can be found on the data column.

Yet it subtly revealed the true outcome!...

Warning: Your health has decreased by 10!

"Your health points -10!"

"Yours... -10!"

This cycle repeated eight or nine times.

The red warning frame slowly faded from view.

Roger glanced at the record of the beatings with a serious expression.

It was discovered that this Ice Soul Divine Lightning actually has a defensive penetration effect...

Although the damage is not high.

But hitting him would still be quite insulting!

Roger couldn't remember the last time he had suffered such an injury!

therefore.

His gaze toward Ao Yue turned slightly cold.

She started throwing a tantrum right from the start.

Do you really think you're easy to bully?

The next second.

A flash of light appeared in Roger's hand.

The Coiling Dragon Spear was aimed directly at Ao Yue! But before he could even thrust out the first spear...

Ao Yue suddenly spoke—

Her voice was soft and sweet.

It sounds wonderful.

In addition, there was that beautiful face and that rather broad and magnanimous heart.

She gives off a friendly, approachable older sister vibe.

Most people would probably be extremely fond of her if they met her.

Roger immediately recognized that this dragon's charm was no less than his own!

also.

Ao Yue's rhetoric was also extremely sophisticated.

But then she said in a soft, weak voice:

"So it's Star Master."

"It was my fault for being rash. I thought it was an unwelcome guest from the sea!"

Is he calling himself "Star Master" again?

Why didn't they acknowledge this star lord when they became Resisters? Wasn't it all to bide their time...?

Roger silently made a couple of sarcastic remarks to himself.

But he is also a shrewd and calculating person.

Different approaches are needed to deal with different roles.

You can easily fool those Dream Weaver Worm.

But a grandmother like Ao Yue, who has lived for over 18,000 years, is not someone a young person like me can easily handle.

If a real fight breaks out...

Roger wasn't entirely confident of victory either.

The other party has given us a way out.

It also subtly indicated a willingness to submit.

Roger had no reason to confront them head-on.

He's not some greenhorn.

but.

Dissatisfaction still needs to be expressed.

So he casually replied, "Oh?"

"Are there other hostile guests in this sea?"

Ao Yue smiled upon hearing this.

Her smile was very faint.

It gives people a feeling of tranquility and detachment—it is clearly a very beautiful smile, but it exudes a sense of aloofness that keeps people at a distance.

"It used to happen, and it would often disturb my meditation."

"But now that you Star Master, have arrived..."

"I suppose there won't be any more like this in the future."

This is how Ao Yue answered.

Roger understood.

She reiterated her willingness to submit to the authority of the star lord.

But at the same time.

She then subtly raised another request—

That is, she hopes to continue her spiritual practice here.

It's best not to be disturbed by anyone.

For Ao Yue

This might be one of the promises she wants.

Roger looked with great interest at the 'old woman' whose face was as beautiful as a woman in her twenties.

Her words and actions were nothing like those of a reclusive Qi Refiner.

Instead, they seem like seasoned veterans who have been mingling in human society for a long time.

The wording and phrasing are not modern enough.

I don't know how many eons ago they've been hiding here in seclusion, cultivating themselves.

This thought came to mind.

Roger even more deeply:

"Ao Yue could also trigger the Way of Weapon Liberation of self-destruction required for Kuinan's betrayal, after all, she is Qi Refiner has ascended three times—but Kuinan didn't look for her, maybe even the gods didn't discover her existence?"

"Her strength should be even greater than Beya's!"

"After all, they've lived for nearly 20,000 years!"

"Her goal should be revenge. As long as the target of her revenge has nothing to do with me, there is no direct conflict between us!"

"Therefore, this kind of minor friction is completely understandable. We should get closer to each other in the future!"

In just a moment.

Roger's domineering aura, which came from the Star Lord, vanished completely.

A dashing smile, the kind he only showed when he was trying to curry favor with someone, spread across his face. "I understand."

"I was also surprised that Mystra had like-minded people."

That's why I came to take a look.

Ao Yue immediately laughed and said:

"I knew that Star Master, were of the same ilk, which is why I resorted to this tactic to lure you here."

"I have cultivated in this Returning Ruins Water Mansion for tens of thousands of years, and I have always been able to turn danger into safety whenever something unexpected happens. After the Ether Lord left, very few people have been able to detect my presence..."

"All I wanted was to cultivate in peace."

"However, after meeting you, I would like to ask you for something, a job, and a verbal promise."

Roger nodded and said, "Go on."

Ao Yue said in a soft voice:

"The first item is the ' Qi Control Divine Talisman '."

Because this planetary-level Spiritual Qi Resurgence was personally led by you.

Although I can intervene.

But this could change the overall trend.

The resulting consequences are difficult to eliminate.

But my daily cultivation requires additional spiritual energy.

Therefore, I specifically asked you for a Qi Control Divine Talisman.

To speed up my cultivation.

"The second task is for me and my Returning Ruins Water Mansion to receive a legitimate imperial decree granting Star Master Authority."

And they can obtain the right to independence and autonomy.

I don't want anyone else near my water palace.

They also do not want others to disturb this sea area.

As for the title of the imperial decree, that doesn't matter.

Anything like Deep Sea Lord or Ocean God is fine.

The more ordinary, the better! But please don't reveal my identity as Qi Refiner.

This is very important!

"Thirdly, I hope you can promise to help me when I face a calamity in the future."

This was just a verbal promise.

Will you be willing to complete it when the time comes?

It's all up to you.

"If you agree to all three of the above, then I am not only willing to submit to your Star Master Authority, but also willing to offer you three supreme treasures."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Before Roger could even agree to the request...

Suddenly, a waterway parted in the Returning Ruins Water Mansion.

Three little girls with pigtails, riding seahorses, flew out laughing and joking.

They saw Roger.

They are not afraid of strangers.

He simply raised his hand in a very ancient gesture.

Then he raised his hand and presented the three boxes.

After doing all this.

They turned around and rode the seahorse.

It vanished in a flash into the shimmering light of the seabed.

"Ao Yue knew I would definitely agree."

Roger found it amusing.

To communicate with beings that have lived for tens of thousands of years.

No need for a complicated explanation.

He took the item without hesitation.

This action also signifies Roger's acceptance of Ao Yue's conditions.

The two reached a temporary understanding.

However, just before Roger opened the box...

He suddenly asked, "May I know your background?"

"At least—which planet did they come from?"

Ao Yue remained silent for a while.

He then slowly said:

"Dark Extinction Three Stars".

After saying that...

She apologized.

The steam rising from the palace slowly dissipated.

That large, white upper body also disappeared...

"Dark Extinction Three Stars?"

"She's from the Second Star Track?"

Roger was still pondering it.

Ao Yue had already slowly closed the gate of the Returning Ruins Water Mansion.

The once magnificent palace was instantly transformed into an underwater ruin.

If it weren't for the fact that there is Star Master Authority to identify it.

Roger couldn't even detect its exact existence! Even Absolute Insight was concealed!

On the data panel.

"Ascension Perception: You have noticed that Ao Yue seems unable to leave her Sub-Plane for extended periods..."

There may be more to this story.

"Notification: You have obtained the 'Return to the Void Order', ' Ten Thousand Year Glazed Lamp ', ' Heavenly Longevity Fruit ', and ' God Burial Flute '..."

"Guixu Order: The token of the Returning Ruins Water Mansion".

Holders are free to enter the Sub-Plane where the Returning Ruins Water Mansion is located.

You can teleport at any time within the Outer Ring Sea area.

After startup.

Requirements: Qi Refiner Level LV20+ / Total Level LV140+

One million shield points? Roger's eyes popped out of their sockets.

Is this the work of Qi Refiner?

The defensive items he had, made by Mage Hand, were utterly worthless compared to this thing!

Roger quickly realized this.

This "Ten Thousand Year Glazed Lamp" is even among magical treasures.

They're probably among the very best! Ao Yue's gesture of goodwill couldn't be clearer.

As for the "Return to the Void Token," which is not considered one of the three treasures...

This further demonstrates her sincerity.

I've even given you the key to my own cave dwelling...

You can't keep doubting her, can you?

certainly.

If Roger, confident in his strength, actually barged in.

Whether Ao Yue will actually obey is another matter.

From another perspective...

The three magical treasures that this woman gave away, like the Ice Soul Divine Lightning at the beginning, were all means of demonstrating her strength.

To show sincerity.

Demonstrating strength.

This is the foundation for cooperation.

"This woman has a way of manipulating people's hearts..."

Roger carefully put away the Ten Thousand Year Glazed Lamp with deep emotion.

Immediately afterwards.

His gaze then fell upon two other treasures.

"Heavenly Longevity Fruit (*4): Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure produced in the Dark Extinction Three Stars Dragon Cave Continent."

"Eating it can increase lifespan by 1000 years."

"The God Burial Flute (Strange Item): The flute music played with this item can weaken the power of the gods."

The longer the gods listen to this flute music, the better.

The greater the reduction.

At most, it can weaken a god to the level of a transcendent being...

Note: This item is only effective against deities.

Requirements: Music Theory Knowledge 400+ / Musical Instrument Performance 400+ / Qi Fate Synchronization (estimated 280 days)

One last day of rest, don't worry, I'll be working overtime this weekend...
