3031 This One Is Different
"For now?" Foliana didn"t understand Rean"s comment.
"You will understand later. What else is left in this place?" Rean didn"t answer and made a question instead.
Foliana was still curious, but she just nodded and came out of the Techniques Repository with Rean and Little Fisha. The Demon Beast had been quiet all this while, just following them. "There is the Treasures Room and that other room at the end without a name."
They entered the so-called Treasures Room, which was had six treasures. All of them were sealed inside formations, although some of them had already crumbled due to time. In the end, there were only two that didn"t seem to have been affected by the last twenty thousand years. One of them had the form of a gourd, while the other was some kind of fabric.
"There are jade slips inside the formations with them," Foliana pointed out.
Rean easily broke the formations that sealed the two items, checking the Jade Slip right after. "Hum... the gourd isn"t too bad. It is called Essence Refining Gourd. It can absorb Demon Beast or Cultivators" bloodlines and create Bloodline Essence. Drinking it will help you improve your own bloodline over a long period of time... or so it says. It makes sense your ancestor had such a thing since he probably had the same bloodline as you."
Rean then looked at Little Fisha, which scared the Swordhorn Fish. "Wh-What are you looking at? You can"t do that to me!"
Foliana immediately intervened. "R-Rean... can you destroy it, please?"
"Oh?!" Rean was surprised to hear that. "Why would you do such a thing. This is truly a good item for you."
"I don"t like this idea of using the life of others to increase my strength. It makes me feel like I"m some kind of demonic cultivator," Foliana answered. She wasn"t the type that fought much to start with, let alone the type who thinks about using others" lives.
"You sure?" Rean asked back. "Even if you don"t want to use it, sure it is worth a lot of Spiritual Stones."
"That just means someone else will go out there and start a killing spree. But..." Foliana felt nervous. "If you want it for yourself, I don"t mind giving it away."
Rean smiled in response. "Very good answer." Immediately after, his White Star Sword appeared, and a slash carrying Light and Dark Elements followed together with Sword Aura.
*Swish, swish, swish, swish...*
The gourd couldn"t resist the attack as it wasn"t a weapon to start with. The gourd was easily slashed into countless pieces. Rean wanted to make sure no one would be able to rebuild that thing. Above all, he was happy that Foliana had made such a choice. Had she asked to keep the gourd for her own use, he would have doubted her personality.
Well, no one was happier than Little Fisha, who thought she would be used to test the gourd instead.
Rean then caught the Jade Slip by the Fabric. It was actually a scarf that could be controlled with Spiritual Sense. The good thing was that it had several defensive inscriptions and it was made of a very good material for a Mortal World. Rean took the scarf and checked it with his Spiritual Sense. After confirming it was fine, he simply threw it around Folian"s shoulders and nodded. "It does look quite good on you, indeed. The jade Slip said it was Globian"s wife"s treasure, but she died because of the Werdlem Empire, so he kept it. It should prove useful in the future to you."
Foliana couldn"t help but get a little red after hearing that compliment. It"s just that it also felt weird since Rean still had the appearance of a kid instead of an adult male. "Th-Thanks..."
"Let"s go to the last room," Rean quickly left the room.
At the same time, Roan contacted him. "The pill is ready. It is inside the Dimensional Realm. Also, even though I was planning to make one, there was enough medicinal liquid to make three, so you can use the other two as you see fit. Don"t give Foliana more than one, though. The second pill will be useless."
"Oh!" Rean was happy to hear that. "Alright. I"ll give it to her after we finish checking this place."
Finally, they opened the last door at the end of the corridor, and only two things could be seen inside. One of them was a Spatial Ring that was floating inside a formation. It was the same kind of formation that protected the treasures. As for the other item, it was a small sphere of blood. Sparks of Red Lightning came from it from time to time, but the formation it was contained within prevented the sparks from coming out.
Rean checked the formations. "Globian put a lot more effort on these sealing formations. Even though they are over twenty thousand years old, they are still holding pretty well. They should hold for another twenty thousand without issues."
Rean took the Spatial Ring first and threw to Foliana without even checking what was inside.
Foliana had already got used to his behavior by now, so she simply checked the contents. "This..."
Inside, there was a sea of Spiritual Stones. As a Peak Transition Realm Expert and one who was the King of a country, Globian Nasfivil obviously was quite rich. However, the process of acquiring Spiritual Stones back when the Werdlem Empire hadn"t arrived wasn"t very good. That said, most of the Spirit Stones in the Spatial Ring were Rank Three, Four, and a few hundred Rank Five ones. Nonetheless, they were in the ten of thousands. For someone of Foliana"s level, that was still a fortune she couldn"t even dream about. "Rean..."
Rean raised his hand. "There is no need to tell me what"s inside. It is yours, period. Now then, this Blood is obviously connected to your bloodline. Can I undo the formation?"
Foliana nodded, putting the Spatial Ring away. "Yes."
The Formation was released, and Foliana immediately felt a connection to it. However, what caught her and Rean"s attention was that the blood also had a Spiritual Sense left behind.
Just like at the entrance, a projection of Globian"s body appeared, putting Foliana on her guard. What if that one also tried to take her body?
However, Rean patted her head. "Don"t worry. This one is different. It is more like a recording. Once he finishes his words, he will disappear. Just touch the projection, and he will say whatever he has to say."
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
