Three Divine Artifacts

He had gathered more or less enough supplies. Although Shen Mo had never used the kitchenware here, he had memories of how to use all of it.

Of course, it was not because the original owner had cooked before, but because he had watched others do it—like the food videos he had accidentally scrolled across on his phone.

Shen Mo felt that he was fairly smart. He should be able to learn it after watching once or twice.

And if that did not work, he could find someone who knew how to cook. These fresh ingredients would not go to waste either.

He remembered that among those male leads, the childhood friend who was closest to his sister was especially good at cooking. If he got the chance, he could train him up and have him cook exclusively for himself and his sister.

But those were plans for the future. Shen Mo had only just emerged from his thoughts when he felt his inner space tremble.

No, damn it, it was his Divine Sea that was shaking.

Shen Mo had no time to keep mulling things over. He found a relatively safe room, checked that there were no living creatures inside, then locked the door tight.

He closed his eyes and sensed his Divine Sea.

His divine soul was already injured. If something went wrong with his Divine Sea too, then as a cultivator, he truly would not be far from death.

"—Clang!"

Shen Mo could not help rubbing his temple. The tremendous metallic crash had nearly shaken his divine soul apart.

Only after the commotion subsided did he discover that the culprit was actually the Ashen Ruin Cauldron within his Divine Sea.

He had roamed the cultivation world for so long and ventured through countless secret realms. At the same time, he had obtained innumerable heavenly treasures and earthly wonders from those secret realms, the most precious of which were those three divine artifacts.

Void Ring: a spatial treasure. Though it was only a tiny ring, it contained a trace of the laws of space and time.

Not only was the space inside limitless, but time could also be adjusted at will. He usually kept all sorts of miscellaneous things he had obtained from secret realms inside it.

Unfortunately, after failing his tribulation, everything inside—aside from the portion used during the tribulation—had vanished into nothingness.

Mo Blade: a shapeshifting weapon that could transform into any weapon for battle.

Unfortunately, its body had been damaged while blocking the lightning tribulation. It had degraded into the lowest-grade blade and was covered in rust.

Still, it was more than enough for use in this world. It even came with a tetanus attribute, so it was not a major problem.

Ashen Ruin Cauldron: it was, in fact, a Medicine Cauldron. He did not really know its exact function. But strangely enough, this Medicine Cauldron could produce medicinal herbs on its own. Whenever he needed certain common herbs for alchemy, they would appear by themselves. He had never figured out the principle behind it.

Unfortunately, it had been damaged by heavenly lightning during his tribulation. A crack had split across its body, and it seemed unusable.

And the disturbance in his Divine Sea just now had been caused by this Medicine Cauldron.

As for why, Shen Mo observed it carefully for a while and discovered that aside from becoming brighter, the crack in its body had also disappeared.

There were merely some black scraps around the cauldron, and they looked somewhat familiar.

A sudden sense of foreboding rose in his heart. He swept his gaze across the space inside the ring.

Sure enough, all the jade and raw stones in the space had disappeared. Those black scraps were probably the outer layers of the raw stones.

Shen Mo suddenly felt darkness cloud his vision. A whole day's work! All for nothing!

He had acquired quite a few top-grade raw stones today. Not only could they be used to make some simple magical artifacts, at the very least, they could replenish spiritual power and raise his cultivation level.

Now—everything was gone!

What use was fixing this damned cauldron? He could not refine pills right now anyway.

Even if it could produce medicinal herbs by itself, he did not have spiritual fire.

Sigh!

Just as he was wallowing in self-pity, the sudden voice in his mind made him narrow his eyes slightly.

[Ding. System connection successful.]

[Hello, Host. I am very pleased to see you again.]

That familiar voice—he had heard it in his dreams while awake.

So it had not been a dream.

"What the hell are you? Did you bring me here?"

[Host, I am your system! The system did not bring the Host into this world. The Host originally belonged here; we merely made a transaction.]
