The Power of the Race: Black Item

"I've got it. I'll take care of you."

"You're sure? One year, and you'll never be able to use your abilities again."

"Deal."

Xue Ling smiled, her lips curling into a playful grin. "Then, Master, I'll take care of you. Don't worry about anything."

"How many years will that take?"

"Seven years."

"Seven years." Zeng Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's it. It's done. Master, how much..."

"No, it's not enough. It's too slow. At most, you can only summon ten times. That is..." Zeng Yu tapped his forehead, thinking hard.

"Forget it. I'll just summon five years' worth." Zeng Yu said.

Master Zeng pondered for a moment and said, "Five years' worth of your abilities, calculated by the power of the stars, is equivalent to one year of your life."

"Then that's fine. The five years' worth of my abilities will be counted as mine, and then you can deduct one year from it, right?" Zeng Yu said.

"Ah!"

As soon as Xue Ling opened her mouth, she summoned seven years' worth of abilities. It was too late for her to react. She knew that she would have to use her abilities to save him. In an instant, she felt a sharp pain in her head.

"Zeng Yu, no. You can't save me. You've already done me a great favor. How can I let you take advantage of me?"

"Heh, I don't lack that kind of favor." Zeng Yu waved his hand. At the same time, his heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction.

One year's worth of abilities was not enough. It was also an ability.

However, since you are not the most convenient water-elemental god, you can help me with some plans.

Just as Zeng Yu thought.

Xue Ling felt her heart surge with emotion as she received his message. She silently accepted this favor and planned to find another way to repay him.

She gently placed her hands on Zeng Yu's knees, touching the smooth black silk on top.

After the transfer was complete, Zeng Yu and Xue Ling were sent out of the Star Gate by Master Zeng.

Xue Ling walked with Xue Ling to his room. She bowed slightly and said gratefully, "Zeng Yu, thank you. You've gone to a lot of trouble for me. I don't know how to repay you."

"You don't need to repay me for now. Just remember it. If I need it in the future, I'll tell you." Zeng Yu smiled and said.

"Okay. That Star Sea Mirror is my life's work. What do you need it for?"

"That Star Sea Mirror is yours, right?"

"Yes."

Xue Ling was a little surprised.

When she first discovered the Star Sea Mirror, the hint was that a three-elemental water god would pay for two-elemental water gods. It was built in the Star Gate.

If she wasn't a three-elemental water god, then the person she wanted was Xue Ling.

That would be great.

At that time, Xue Ling also wanted to go in and take a look. Maybe she could meet those two-elemental water gods and get some more useful information. As a result, she couldn't get in. Since that piece of land belonged to your company, it would be convenient for you to take me in.

"Okay, deal."

Xue Ling opened her mouth and said curiously, "Sister Xue, how is it that such a large piece of Star Sea Mirror seems to be the only one like you? No one else plays chess with you?"

"Alas." Xue Ling sat on the sofa, her heart filled with a sigh, as if recalling something unpleasant. She said with a smile, "Who would play with me now?"

"My parents left the kingdom when I was young. My grandfather raised me. He spent his whole life studying the Star Sea Mirror."

"When I was young, my grandfather was very principled. So he arranged for me to live with my second uncle's family, who lived next to the Star Sea. He was about to get married, so he gave the Star Sea Mirror to me and my wife to study together."

"I wanted to get married to him, but I didn't have good feelings for that man. I also didn't want to be arranged, so I thought I was already twenty-five years old. I didn't have to follow the fate arranged by heaven, so I found a man and decided to get married."

"Soon, I found a man and got married. On the wedding night, I wanted to give myself to him. As a result, that man was a downstairs man. He secretly drugged himself. After all, he couldn't stand it. That night, he ate too much medicine and poisoned himself to death."

"After that, the whole family started to decline. The young master of the Xue family, Xue Feng, kept stealing the Star Sea Mirror from his grandfather's company and selling it. He also messed up my parents' house."

"Because of this, the shareholders of the Xue family began to force their grandfather to give up the company's position to him. As a result, grandfather was angered and locked himself in the Star Pavilion, while I hid with my younger siblings and mother."

Xue Ling opened her mouth and listened to the woman's complaints in front of her. She also felt the pain in the woman's heart. Why could she survive for three years in the ruins and become a three-elemental water god?

Soon, at the entrance of the Star Sea Mirror, Xue Ling was stopped.

"You're here again. It's because of the Star Sea Mirror. It's not something anyone can..." The guard captain walked out of the security pavilion and walked towards Xue Ling, who was wearing a uniform.

The next moment, the person sitting on the sofa in front of him was Xue Ling. Her heart trembled violently.

"Little sister."

"Sister Xue, that's a subordinate of our company. Later, he can enter our Star Sea."

The system notification popped up again.

The door opened, and a figure stood there, revealing a faint golden light. He quickly ascended towards the depths of the sea.

[Notification! The host has been chosen by three water-elemental gods to jointly create a sacred land, relying on the host's luck. Once discovered, they will immediately be expelled from this land. Please ascend quickly!]

Hearing the system's reminder, Zeng Xin slightly frowned.

The system's reminder made him feel a little strange. It said "chosen" and not "seized." He couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt.

However, he didn't think too much about it, as he was already sucked into the seabed's treasure chest.

The seabed treasure chest was the largest trading port in the current world, a vast abyss filled with countless treasures, and also the nesting ground for many sea monsters.

"This... this is a treasure chest of sea goods, and also a treasure trove of the Sea King's secrets. It mainly contains items like the top-grade sea treasures, origin items, five-elemental treasures, and magic weapon fragments."

When Zeng Xin entered the treasure chest, Huo Fang began to explain the situation of the seabed treasure chest to him.

"Such a large treasure chest, why wouldn't the Sea King be interested in trading it?"

"Alas, because the Sea King is the young master of the Sea Clan in the Sea City. Last year, he went to the Sea City outskirts to play. By chance, he encountered a small sea monster, which swallowed him whole and became the 1500-year-old second-generation ancestor. Then, he used his low profile to take away half of the business that he and my clan had cooperated on."

"I know, the Sea King's treasure chest is indeed very large, but under the obstruction of the Sea Clan, it has already been targeted by others, right?"

Huo Fang shook his head and said, "The so-called treasure chest is not a treasure chest at all. It is the tomb of the Spirit Pill buried by the ancestors three years ago."

Zeng Xin opened his mouth and chatted with Huo Fang, while also examining the treasure chest. He had received the reminder from the two water-elemental gods and then went to Huo Fang's side to ask for clarification.

And so it was.

He didn't know what the system's reminder was for.

Gradually, Zeng Xin became a little suspicious.

If it wasn't for those two water-elemental gods, wouldn't they have their own place to go?
