Three Storage Bags lay before Ji Yuan.
They were parting gifts from three Golden Core Cultivators who had died at his hands.
What made them parting gifts?
They had chosen to die rather than keep their Storage Bags from him.
There was Young Master Zhou Jin of the Golden Core Early Stage, the ruthless Ling Juexiao of the Middle Golden Core, and Long Zhanye of the Golden Core Late Stage.
After killing Zhou Jin, Ji Yuan had been too busy fleeing for his life. He had taken only the eighty jin of Voidspace Stone inside, leaving the rest of the treasures uncounted.
Then he had hurried off to this Secret Realm.
That had left him even less time.
