A soul seal had also been placed on Mu Gu's Storage Ring, mainly for protection. However, now that he was dead, the seal could no longer sustain itself. After Xiao Yan kept up the pressure, he broke it open.
Xiao Yan condensed his soul power into fine threads and cautiously probed deep into the Storage Ring. Yet what lay inside ultimately disappointed him. Not only was there no information related to Black Flame, but Mu Gu's Storage Ring was practically empty. The only things of value were several dozen medicinal herbs, presumably Mu Gu's gains from his time in the Pill Tower space. Everything else was almost negligible.
Xiao Yan immediately understood. Mu Gu's real Storage Ring had likely been hidden away, and all his truly valuable treasures should have been stored within it. Naturally, Xiao Yan had no interest in searching for Mu Gu's remaining belongings. If Mu Gu had hidden them well enough, they might become the "ruins of a predecessor" millions of years from now.
"Truly an old fox. He really was cunning," Xiao Yan remarked.
Xiao Yan placed all the medicinal herbs into his own Storage Ring. Although he had not obtained Mu Gu's many years of accumulated treasures, something was still better than nothing. At the very least, he no longer needed to worry too much about the medicinal ingredients required for alchemy.
However, after Xiao Yan finished arranging the herbs, an unusual fluctuation suddenly came from a corner beneath the pile. He frowned slightly and curled his finger, drawing a green jade token through the air. When Xiao Yan touched it, he could still feel a faint tremor within it.
At a glance, he saw a scarlet point of light at the center of the jade token, pointing southward. Xiao Yan fell into thought.
