The Storage Ring Worth Five Million

Lu Xuan had never been a good person.

He was even less of someone who would let himself be taken advantage of.

If he hadn't been afraid of the teachers from Jiangnan Martial University arriving, he would have even wanted to drag away the Blazing Horned Lion, which weighed five tons and was as large as an ordinary elephant.

His psychic power couldn't be exposed.

Or rather, he couldn't be exposed.

No one would dare bet that a high-level Martial Artist wouldn't be interested in someone who could kill a High-level Monster when they were still a low-level Martial Artist.

Lu Xuan had to assume the worst of people.

He didn't want to be the future self who sent a letter to his past self.

"How about it?"

Lu Xuan looked at Xu Xin and the other two.

They exchanged glances.

This was a High-level Monster. Even if the three of them split it, the points they'd gain wouldn't be a small amount and would greatly help with their college applications.

"We don't have cash on us right now."

Lu Ya was the first to state her position.

Clearly, she was more interested in the High-level Monster.

The class monitor from Class 5 also nodded, saying helplessly, "We agree to your half-and-half split, but we don't have enough cash on us."

This was problematic.

Lu Xuan frowned, calculating in his mind, Without cash, there's no way I can carry several tons of flesh and blood around the wilderness, right?

What was the difference between that and seeking death?

The flesh and blood of High-level Monsters weren't just needed by him.

The Monsters in the wilderness needed it more. If he wasn't careful, he could attract Monsters of the same level, or even higher.

"I have a way!"

Xu Xin stood up. Her hair, having been singed by the Blazing Horned Lion's flames, still carried a faint smell of burning, causing Lu Xuan to involuntarily wrinkle his nose.

"What way?" Lu Xuan asked.

Xu Xin took off a ring from her hand and handed it to Lu Xuan. "You don't seem to be wearing any storage equipment. This storage ring has a space of five hundred cubic meters and is worth five million. I think that's enough to buy half of a High-level Monster."

A storage ring?

Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.

Indeed, since he hadn't been a Martial Artist before, he didn't have any storage equipment.

This item was essential for Wilderness Adventures, making it easier to deal with hunted Monsters. If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Xuan would have bought one when he returned home this time.

However, with his financial means, a storage space of 50 cubic meters would be good enough.

500 cubic meters?

That was equivalent to a standard swimming pool, or a three-bedroom apartment of nearly 200 square meters, larger than his own home. The space could hold so many things.

It cost several million.

He didn't dare to think about how long he would have to work to afford it.

One storage ring for half a High-level Monster's meat.

Worth it.

It was damn worth it!

"Deal!"

Lu Xuan took the storage ring without any hesitation and injected a trace of Spiritual Energy into it, storing the beast leg in his hand.

Before they could exchange a few more words, a vast aura swept over from the distance.

Its power covered several miles. A Qi and Blood Martial Master!

"See you around!"

Lu Xuan immediately flashed away.

He didn't want to be threatened into revealing his true identity.

By the time Xu Xin and the other two reacted, Lu Xuan had already disappeared.

"This person is truly peculiar."

They muttered a few words.

A moment later.

With a surge of Qi and Blood, a person in a black robe appeared at the scene.

Xu Xin and the others quickly stepped forward. "Teacher!"

The black-robed man didn't respond. Instead, he walked towards the fallen Blazing Horned Lion and spoke with disbelief:

"This Horned Lion, you killed it?"

He had sensed it carefully; its aura had already reached the High-level Monster level.

Three Intermediate Martial Artists, capable of killing it?

Xu Xin quickly explained, "Teacher, someone else killed the Horned Lion, not us."

"Oh?"

The black-robed man took out three pills and tossed them to them, asking doubtfully, "Did a High-level Martial Artist pass by?"

"This..."

The three exchanged glances.

They didn't know whether to report Lu Xuan's situation or not.

Finally, Xu Xin gritted her teeth and said, "Teacher, we don't know the identity of that person. He was wearing a Ghost-faced Monkey mask, and his strength should be at the peak of the sixth order, not yet having entered the ranks of Seventh-order Advanced Martial Artists... However, that person's methods were peculiar."

She still chose not to hide Lu Xuan's ability to control objects.

Firstly, the Blazing Horned Lion's fatal wound was in its internal cavity. Anyone paying attention could notice something was wrong.

Secondly, this ability was truly peculiar. Perhaps it was a newly developed ability by some Martial Artist. Reporting it to the Federation might lead to someone researching it.

At that time, the overall strength of Martial Artists would improve.

Humanity would have more confidence in fighting monsters.

"What methods?"

The black-robed man tilted his head, seemingly observing if they were lying.

"He can control objects from a distance..."

The sky slowly darkened.

The wilderness near the Satellite City was still within the controllable zone, with the highest-level monsters not exceeding the Beast Lord level.

This was equivalent to a human Martial Dao Grandmaster.

Therefore, there was no need to worry about being attacked by monsters everywhere at night, unless you ventured into the more outer wilderness. Those places, even Martial Dao Grandmasters dared not tread lightly.

After leaving the battlefield.

Lu Xuan found a safe place to recuperate.

This battle had consumed a lot, especially Mental Power.

The consumption of Mental Power was unlike that of vitality. Severe cases could cause you to fall into slumber or lose consciousness. He had almost collapsed just now.

Lu Xuan didn't start a fire. He directly took out a piece of Blazing Horned Lion meat from his storage ring and wolfed it down.

Monster meat was indeed more effective when eaten raw.

The moment it entered his mouth, Lu Xuan felt his vitality surge throughout his body. Countless energies flowed like water through his meridians and bones. His previously weak flesh and blood, like a shriveled sponge meeting water, instantly swelled up.

Fully resurrected.

"Is this the flesh and blood of a High-level Monster?"

Lu Xuan groaned comfortably and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

He circulated the cultivation technique he bought from the black market.

An indescribable feeling surged in his heart. Lu Xuan felt as if he had reached a certain dimension, that he was all things, and all things were him. This profound feeling made him unable to stop.

The sky had completely darkened.

The wilderness at night was bone-chillingly cold, and monsters roamed.

Many Martial Artists had already found places to rest.

Lu Xuan ended his cultivation and found some dry firewood to start a fire.

He took out a piece of meat and placed it on the fire to roast.

He then opened the communication device on his wrist. There was a message from his sister: "Big brother, the hospital medical fees have increased again, from the original 50,000 per week to 70,000, averaging 10,000 yuan per day. Also, the lottery ticket you bought won third prize. If you add five more tickets, you can claim 15,000 yuan!"

The medical fees increased again?

Lu Xuan tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. "It seems highly likely that a beast tide will occur, but neither of the two future emails mentioned it. Or has the time not arrived yet?"

The first email had a furthest reach into August.

It hadn't mentioned a beast tide.

"It's not impossible that the person in the future isn't a Martial Artist, and the officials are blocking the news," he thought.

With his current strength, he would surely die if he encountered a beast tide.

If the future emails didn't mention it, it was highly probable that the beast tide hadn't arrived yet, or the beast tide was small in scale and posed no threat to the Jinling City safe zone.

"I must find enough money to treat my parents before August."

Lu Xuan pondered, "After August, I should try to avoid the wilderness as much as possible, unless my strength reaches Qi and Blood Martial Master."

Thinking this, he smiled and shook his head.

Becoming a Martial Master in two to three months was wishful thinking.

Even with his future cheat, it was impossible.

And...

"I didn't even win the lottery, so it's possible that events that were supposed to happen might have a chain reaction due to my choices."

Lu Xuan still decided to play it safe.

He would absolutely not take risks for opportunities he wasn't 100% sure of next time.

After becoming a Martial Artist, his goals became even clearer.

Hunt in the wilderness to save his parents.

Make money.

Cultivate.

"To cultivate, I need to find cultivation techniques and Martial Skills. These are only available from the Federation and major corporations. Rogue cultivators... are ultimately an inferior choice."

Lu Xuan calculated silently:

"This time, I basically achieved my goal, becoming a peak Tier 3 Martial Artist, obtaining a storage ring, and a hundred kilograms of high-level monster meat... Next, I'll hunt some monsters and sell them when I return to Jinling City to buy special medicine for my parents."

With his future plan set, he calmed his mind.

"As for now, I'll just sleep!"

He shaved the fur off the Blazing Horned Lion and used it as a mat on the ground, preparing to sleep by the campfire.

Martial Artists are not cultivators; they cannot neglect food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

Without sufficient energy, cultivation will be slow.

Beep beep--!

Just then, The earpiece issued by Jiangnan Martial University to Lu Xuan vibrated violently.

"Huh?"

Lu Xuan answered the earpiece, and a crackling static sound came from it.

He chose to keep it to maintain constant contact with Jiangnan Martial University, receive firsthand information, and avoid being passive in the wilderness.

"Crackle... Classmates..."

"We are now broadcasting an emergency notice. Within the second ring of Ruins City, Xu Long, the class monitor of Jiangnan Martial University Class 2, and some other students have stolen a Ninth-order high-level monster's Earth Dragon Egg and are now missing... The Jinling Xu Family has issued a bounty. Bring Xu Long back alive or dead. Anyone who finds Xu Long, regardless of identity, will be rewarded with one million, and a set of cultivation techniques and Martial Skills..."

Lu Xuan, who had intended to sleep, suddenly sat up.

"Earth Dragon?"

The only thing that caught his attention in this message was the Earth Dragon.

This was because he knew that Earth Dragon Essence Blood could save his parents!

"Xu Long actually dared to steal an Earth Dragon Egg?"

Lu Xuan recalled Xu Long saying before they departed that there was a chance for great fortune.

So that's what it was, stealing the Earth Dragon Egg.

"It seems I won't be sleeping tonight."

The Earth Dragon was something he needed; its essence blood could heal his parents, let alone its egg?

That's right, Lu Xuan decided to find Xu Long and snatch the Earth Dragon Egg.

Almost the moment this thought crossed his mind, red light flashed before him, and an email popped up--
