The old monk sat on the ground, faint golden light flowing across his skin. His muscles had already stiffened, and the blood in his body had dried up, yet the expression on his face was peaceful. This showed that he had not died in pain! Ning Xiaochuan found it utterly inconceivable. Shaking his head, he thought that this monk was probably not from Earth. "Perhaps he came from somewhere beyond the Yulan Empire. After all, this continent is vast. No one in the Yulan Empire worships Buddha, but perhaps there are Buddhist followers elsewhere."
"He has been dead for a thousand years, yet his body has not decayed. Could he be carrying some rare treasure?"
Ning Xiaochuan's heart stirred, and his eyes caught a bulge beneath the old monk's robes.
At that moment, the bone pearl in Ning Xiaochuan's robes flickered faintly. However, his attention was entirely fixed on the old monk before him, and he did not notice the subtle change in the bone pearl.
Ning Xiaochuan pressed his palms together and bowed to the old monk. Only then did he carefully remove a palm-sized bone leaf from within the monk's cassock.
It was a human fan rib, shaped like a fan.
Holding it in his hand, he could feel a chill seeping from within the bone and flowing into his body!

It seemed that the old monk's corpse had remained intact for a thousand years because of this fan rib.
Three tiny characters were carved into the fan rib—Mystic Beast Appraisal!
Ning Xiaochuan poured Profound Qi into the Mystic Beast Appraisal, but the fan rib did not change
