He Took a Heap of Benefits-and They Still Thanked Him!

A stone rested inside the jade box.

This stone was called a storage stone, an extremely rare material required to forge storage rings.

Although it could not hold living creatures or grow spirit medicine like a High-Rank Storage Ring, it was still exceedingly rare. The storage stone alone was worth over three hundred thousand gold coins.

But if it were merely an Intermediate Storage Stone, its value, though considerable, would not have been enough to tempt Chu Zhou.

The reason he thought the Mo Clan was practically handing him a fortune was that this storage stone contained a spirit-absorbing stone.

A spirit-absorbing stone was a special substance with only a tiny chance of appearing inside a High-Rank Storage Stone. Once used, it could open up a special area within the body to store certain things, such as heavenly flames.
