Let Me Talk to Him

"Equipment dropped?"

Lin Jun blurted out instinctively. This was the first time he had encountered someone leaving something behind after death.

Since most storage treasures could recognize an owner, the instant their owner died, they would self-destruct. That made killing for treasure forever impossible.

What could usually be obtained were items people had taken out while still alive. But Lin Jun was certain that Magnet Calamity True Lord had never used this thing before.

Lin Jun held it in his hand and examined it carefully. The Taiji Jade felt icy cold and exceptionally smooth. Unfortunately, Lin Jun knew nothing about artifact refinement and could not tell what grade this treasure was.

But since it had come from Magnet Calamity True Lord's body, it was probably not low-grade.

"Let me see."

Quan Yao appeared beside Lin Jun and carefully studied the object.

"...It should be Magnetic Tribulation Daoist's Root Vessel. Your Majesty, generally speaking, a Root Vessel destroys itself along with its owner after death. This Root Vessel was likely not fully refined by Magnet Calamity True Lord, which is why it did not self-destruct."

After looking it over, Quan Yao nodded repeatedly.

That should be it. Though such a situation was rarely encountered, it was not impossible. Still, he could not help marveling that Lin Jun had run into even such a low-probability event. It was truly difficult to fathom.

"Root Vessel? What is that?"

The sudden unfamiliar term left Lin Jun confused. Where had this thing come from? Why had he never heard of it before?

Hearing Lin Jun's question, Quan Yao looked utterly incredulous.

"Your Majesty, you don't know what a Root Vessel is?"

"Should I?"

Lin Jun looked baffled. No one had mentioned this thing to him along the way. It probably was not anything particularly important.
