In front of the Ruined Tower, after the eight Gargoyles were killed, they slowly dissolved into some Soul Sand and Remnant Souls.

The total amount of Soul Sand was over 300g, and there were a total of four Remnant Souls: two Random Remnant Souls and two Three Star Grade Remnant Souls.

There were no Rare Grade Remnant Souls.

Remnant Souls above Rare Grade are not that easy to drop. Otherwise, powerful players could easily slaughter various Rare Grade Monsters, and the high-level Remnant Souls circulating on the market wouldn't be scarce and expensive.

Moreover, the Gargoyles in front of him were just weaklings.

"In reality, exploring, battling, and eliminating Monsters, etc., have limited direct benefits. These types of tasks are mostly done by Ranger Players. As for Lord Players, what they value is whether they can occupy some resource points or excavate treasures after the battle."

Ranger Players? They are just laborers. Lords are the real Bosses who make money while lying down.

However, Mu Yuan was not a true Lord yet. He had no income sources like mines, farming, trade, or taxes. He was even less than a casual Old Player, just a Common Grade Newbie with a little bit of evolution ability.

The drops from the eight Gargoyles were already a significant income for him.

Furthermore, Mu Yuan battled the Gargoyles for two reasons: first, for the safety of his territory, and second, for the tower in front of him.

Mu Yuan slowly approached this Ancient Civilization Ruins.

Looking from up close, the entire tower appeared even more dilapidated. Beneath the moss and vines covering the exterior were visible cracks, some of which were even half a meter wide, making one doubt how long this tower could still stand.

The tower's main gate was already in ruins. Any Skeleton Soldier could easily pull it down with a little force.

Perhaps there were some defensive barriers set up here back then, but with the passage of time, everything had vanished. Even the Gargoyles, known for their 'shelf life', had continuously weakened over the years, becoming the small and weak ones they were now.

In front of the gate, Undead Bone hesitated to speak.

Mu Yuan understood perfectly what Undead Bone wanted to say—the tower was old and broken, entering it was dangerous, which was not Steady enough.

Mu Yuan also felt it was somewhat not Steady enough, but only players could identify the information of items that had entered a grade, and only he could distinguish them.

He couldn't rely on other skeletons. Even Undead Bone, who had the Appearance of an Emperor, didn't have the identification ability unless it could obtain a hero identity, then it could possess various extraordinary abilities like a Heaven Chosen Lord.

Moreover, Undead Bone's knowledge reserve was far inferior to his, Great Lord Mu.

He had to enter this tower.

"Don't worry, even if something unexpected happens and the tower collapses, isn't there Duo Lai?"

He pulled Duo Lai over.

The soft and massive Great Slime was indeed an excellent cushioning pad. As long as he hid under the Slime-brand cushion in a critical moment, he would be safe and sound.

Steady! As expected of my Lord.

Mu Yuan walked into the tower that had been sealed for countless years and looked around.

The interior of the tower was somewhat messy. He saw many items that looked like research instruments shattered and scattered on the ground. In a room on one side, he found some bottles and jars that might have contained potions. Not far away, there were a dozen or so ancient books casually placed on a bookshelf.

However, the liquid inside the potion bottles had dried up, leaving only a few dark crystals; those ancient books, which might have been valuable, had also weathered away over time. Mu Yuan could only vaguely make out some unfamiliar symbols on them.

Presumably, these were the characters of the ancient civilization back then.

Mu Yuan couldn't understand them. These items couldn't be identified for any information, clearly making them 'junk' that hadn't reached any rank.

Of course, it was also possible that he didn't know how to use them.

Coming into contact with Ancient Civilization Ruins was still too early for a Newbie like him.

He had only heard rumors about the existence of ancient civilizations.

"However, ancient civilizations likely exist. It's just that I don't know how long ago they were, what kind of civilization it was, whether they were human or other races, and so on."

Mu Yuan felt that Xuan Country had a certain understanding of ancient civilizations.

After all, even Newbies like him could glean bits and pieces from some not-so-Old Players. How much more would the Great Lords of Xuan Country, who had already established magnificent cities and vast territories, know?

This world was very deep.

And he was still a pure Newbie who could only hang around in the Newbie Zone, having only taken down a few Gargoyles that weren't even Professional Grade. There was absolutely no need to be complacent.

They were just slightly stronger Newbie Monsters.

In the following time, Mu Yuan went Digging Three Feet Deep, taking out the items he could find inside the tower one by one and examining them in front of him.

Finally, he found truly valuable, high-value treasures worth celebrating.

There were a total of two items.

These were the only two treasures inside the tower that could be identified for information. Their quantity was extremely small, yet either one of them made him feel that this trip was not in vain, absolutely a huge profit!

Miracle Building · Blueprint: Mage Tower (Basic)」

「Grade: Rare Grade」

「Description: A special blueprint materialized by the rules of Heaven and Earth. As long as a suitable location is chosen to unfold it and the required materials are invested, a Miracle Building with special effects can be built in a short time.」

「Note: This blueprint can only be used once.」

This was a mysterious blueprint emitting a faint green light.

It had been slightly suspended within the already decayed storage box, seemingly unaffected by time and not stained by a single speck of dust.

This was one of the most valuable treasures in the Eternal World, a Miracle Blueprint!

Mu Yuan had, of course, heard of it. It was something countless Lord Players pursued.

This 'Mage Tower (Basic)' blueprint was of the same Rare Grade as the Inheritance Stone of the Shaman, but the former's value was probably more than a hundred times that of the latter.

This stemmed from the special nature of Miracle Buildings.

Unlike self-built structures, Miracle Buildings were not only easy and quick to construct but also possessed 'special effects'. For example, some buildings could increase the effect of absorbing Soul Sand by 200% or 300% when troops cultivated;

For example, defensive buildings could automatically attack enemies without requiring troops to operate or garrison them;

For example, forging buildings could easily produce Standard Equipment with special attributes;

Among the most noble of Miracle Buildings were troop buildings. It was quite difficult for Lord Players to obtain a troop building.

However, if one performed exceptionally well in the Lord Trial and received the Heaven and Earth Gift, there was a significant chance of obtaining a troop building.

This is also the reason why countless Whale Players are competing fiercely.

"Looking at the description, the Mage Tower is likely a defensive building with some research functions... Speaking of which, isn't this Ruined Tower beneath my feet a Mage Tower? Only Miracle Buildings could withstand the long years without completely collapsing."

"With the Mage Tower, I'll have a much better chance in the Lord Trial... Yes, I must gather the materials as soon as possible."

The other treasure is also a Rare Grade item.

A special item.

This is a lamp resembling a teapot, with gold trim, but it's covered in dust and looks old. If it weren't for the information appraisal, Mu Yuan would have probably thought it was an inconspicuous decoration.

Djinn Crystal Lamp (Rare Grade)」

「Description: Rub the crystal lamp three times to summon a Second Order Djinn for the user to command.」

「Note: A single summon lasts a maximum of 30 minutes. Remaining uses for this item: 2/3.」

Djinn, a Rare Grade Three Star unit.

Of course, Mu Yuan doesn't care if it's Rare Grade or not. Undead Bone is also Rare Grade Three Star, and it has three skills and one talent, a configuration far more luxurious than other units of the same grade.

But no matter how strong Undead Bone is, it's only Zero Order Level 6. It's unknown if it can even deal with Common Grade units that have just entered the Professional Grade.

Talking about grade without considering level is just future potential.

And the Crystal Lamp Djinn is Second Order... a powerful unit defined as 'Elite Grade' in Xuan Country, a fully realized Rare Grade unit.

"With this Djinn Crystal Lamp, I don't have to worry too much about the Wandering Ogre to the north... After all, unlike the watered-down Gargoyles, the Ogre isn't dormant. As a Rare Grade monster, it's highly likely it has entered the Professional Grade."

"Of course, I can't waste the precious uses of the Crystal Lamp on just one monster. As long as the Ogre doesn't come to provoke us, I'll wait until I'm strong enough to go and defeat it."

"Most importantly, with this Crystal Lamp, I can be much safer in the real world and won't have to be constantly on edge when selling things."

"It's just a pity that the Crystal Lamp only has two uses left, so it's destined to be used only during the most critical times."

Mu Yuan thought greedily.
