Chapter 1446: Strange Treasure (First Update)
There was no rain tonight, and although none of the tribesmen came with us, it only took Aesop ten minutes to fill the gap by himself.
When he turned around, he suddenly found a figure in front of him. He couldn't help but be slightly startled, "Who?"
"I'm just passing by," the black shadow said calmly, "I'm a little curious, what is Chief Aesop doing?"
The black shadow did not release any aura, but Aesop instinctively felt that he was no match for it.
The other party should be a supreme being, but the patriarch doesn't mind this very much.
For this worship, he specially brought many good fighters from the tribe, as well as various weapons, so they could fight quite well.
The key to the problem is that the one who showed up is a Supreme, but how many people are waiting in anticipation?
Just as Aesop was shocked, another snort came from not far above his head, "Get out, or die!"
The black shadow's body shook violently, he looked up, then flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Aesop looked in the direction of the sound and saw a faint figure swaying on the top of a big tree not far away.
He had already heard that the person who spoke was the Digital Phantom, so he raised his hand and bowed, "Hello, sir. I have something."
"Come out and give it to me," Qu Jianlei disappeared in a flash, "After all, this is the resting place of the deceased, it's not suitable for discussing things."
Aesop was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly. He was worthy of being the Digital Phantom. Such a pattern... no one else could compare to him!
At night in the cemetery, except for the people on duty, everyone else has left, even if the sacrifices are to be held for three consecutive days.
In the front yard, Qu Jianlei sat on a stone bench under a tree, drinking wine contentedly.
The light from the sky was not too dim, and the lights in the front yard were also bright, so Aesop saw the man at a glance.
He walked to the stone table, lowered his hands and spoke, "Your Excellency, there is no magic weapon inside...really!"
"Sit down," Qu Jianlei raised his hand and said calmly, "I didn't say it must be a magic weapon."
He could sense that the other party had brought out what he wanted, and it was right there on him.
Therefore, his anticipation increased rather than decreased. In fact, compared to the magic weapon, he wanted to inherit the divination more.
Now that the meat is on the chopping board, there's no way it can escape from his hands, so he doesn't want to make himself look ugly while eating.
Aesop nodded and sat on another stone bench. "I'm glad you understand, sir."
He also wanted to be respectful, but he really couldn't. This was the family cemetery and he couldn't bring shame to his ancestors.
Moreover, there are too many clan members watching him around, and he is the patriarch representing the family.
Qu Jianlei smiled casually, "Don't blame me for coming here uninvited. I didn't want to come in at first."
"But there are some people who really take advantage of every opportunity... Who is that guy?"
He really wanted to maintain his table manners while eating, so he had no intention of coming in, but just stayed outside and felt it silently.
Anyway, things that were sensitive to my energy began to move.
What’s hateful is that someone actually wants to interfere, so he can only step forward to support Aesop.
But even so, he still didn't take action. The thing was about to be obtained, and it would not be good to fight and kill in someone else's ancestral grave.
But this doesn't mean that he doesn't care at all. Asking is reasonable.
Aesop shook his head slightly, "I really don't know this person. I thought you knew him."
"Oh," Qu Jianlei sneered and shook his head indifferently, "This kind of scumbag..."
Then he raised his chin, "Okay, what did you get... take it out and let me see it?"
Aesop was startled for a moment, then looked around and asked in a low voice, "Sir, is it here?"
Qu Jianlei raised his hand and made a gesture, and a huge stone shield appeared above the heads of the two men. It was not very thick, but its diameter was more than ten meters.
The stone shield was more than two meters above their heads. The space was not too cramped, and it was enough to block detection from all around.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful pressure was released and then withdrawn. Although he did not say anything, his meaning was clear enough.
There is someone above you here. If anyone is blind, don't blame others even if you die.
This is not his invention. After the Awakener advances to the Supreme, he is qualified to issue such a warning.
And the unspoken rules are tacit. If someone doesn't listen to advice in this situation, their death will be in vain!
If the Supreme can do this, let alone those above the Supreme.
In the woods outside the manor, several auras quickly fled away, not daring to make even a sound.
Although Aesop was only A-level, he could intuitively feel that the atmosphere around him seemed less oppressive.
The fleeting aura of the other party just now reminded him: this is a person above the Supreme.
Even those tribesmen who were staying in the house felt something was wrong and quietly came out to take a look.
Seeing the tribe leader sitting with others with a terrifyingly large stone shield on his head, everyone exchanged glances and went back to the house in silence.
But there were too many people who were quietly watching this scene through the window glass.
Aesop no longer hesitated, took out a collection talisman, and handed it to Qu Jianlei, "Sir, the thing is inside."
Qu Jianlei took it, felt the contents, and frowned slightly, "Shell?"
"Yes," Aesop nodded after hearing this, and then hesitantly spoke again, "There are a few stone fragments, I feel... that's the point?"
In his opinion, the stone fragments engraved with the sacred text were the secret that Yayan was trying hard to hide.
But this is normal. All ancient objects related to the sacred text, even if they are fragments, are considered treasures.
And those fourteen shells seemed very ordinary to him.
The reason is simple. The empire's territory is so vast that there are various kinds of shells on almost every habitable planet.
Moreover, these more than ten shells are not all complete. Two are broken, and three are full of cracks.
Only nine of them looked relatively good, and two of them had minor cracks.
In addition to stone flakes and shells, there is also a necklace, but the necklace is carved from the purest rouge jade.
Rouge jade is a rare gem in the empire. Each piece of rouge jade is about the size of a thumb, and they are linked together to form a necklace.
The main thing is that these interlocking rouge jades must have been carved out from a larger piece of rouge jade.
In addition, it is crystal clear and of impeccable quality.
If the necklace was intact, it would not be difficult to sell it for tens of millions at an auction in the empire.
However, no matter how good this thing is, it is just a mundane object after all and cannot be compared with the divine treasures.
Not to mention that one of the rings was cracked. Although it didn't break, it had flaws and could not be considered complete.
Aesop had no idea how this thing could be put into the secret room.
But fortunately, Ya Yian left a message and these three things were found together.
So even though he thought that the rouge jade necklace was the least valuable for research, he still put them together.
He didn't understand the relationship between the three, but in his mind, the stone fragments were the most valuable.
And the shell...to be honest, he found it a bit confusing.
He once tried to apply alien energy to the shell, but got nothing. It was basically certain that it was not a magical weapon.
But he couldn't rule out the possibility that this was something that might be useful.
Qu Jianlei shook his head at first, then nodded, "That's all?"
"Nothing else," Aesop shook his head carefully. He believed that with the supreme sense, he could judge the truth of the words.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked curiously, "Sir, what does this stone tablet... contain?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head when he heard that. To be honest, the stone pieces were so badly damaged that he couldn't even see anything!
He took out a piece of stone and felt it in his hand. The material... didn't seem to be very hard.
The few broken words above...really can't be strung together.
At this moment, Yi He's thought came, "Eh, it feels a bit like the Qingxin Jue?"
Qu Jianlei asked calmly, "Is it a technique or a magic?"
"It's a general term for a technique," Yi He replied, "to calm the mind and nourish the spirit... The stone itself seems to be able to calm the spirit."
Qu Jianlei couldn't sense the calming effect of the stone, but he didn't doubt it.
After deducing the secrets of heaven, one will definitely face damage to the essence, blood, spirit and soul, and need to nourish them.
And if we were to say who has the sharpest spiritual perception in his team, it would definitely be Yi He. He is basically in a soul-body state now.
He pondered for a moment and used his spiritual sense to indicate, "I don't have any feeling about this stone."
There is no doubt that what inspired him were those seemingly inconspicuous shells.
"That's normal," Yi He replied a little strangely, "Your soul is protected so well."
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Are you saying that I won't participate in the soul search?"
It was indeed Yi He who conducted the soul searches these times, so it was nothing if someone just muttered something.
Then he thought of another question, "So, this thing is helpful to you?"
"It's a supporting role, but it's better than nothing," Yi He answered casually, "For me, the most important thing is to nourish my soul."
The stone flakes do have a slight soul-nourishing effect, but for cultivators with physical bodies, soul nourishment mainly depends on skills and elixirs.
For Yi He's soul, the most important thing is the treasure that nourishes the soul.
The stone slabs could only help him refine his soul, and even if they didn't, it would only take a little time, which was really better than nothing.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a while, then looked up at Aesop, "I want all these things, is that ok?"
It really doesn't make any sense for him to ask for a rouge jade necklace. It wouldn't be suitable even as a gift to Jing Yuexin - it's broken!
However, he could understand why the necklace would appear in the collection of an immortal cultivator.
After all, it is the output of this world, and cultivators also have their own emotional life, so it is normal to bring some local specialties home when they go out.
But thanks to this necklace, those shells would have either been completely ignored or received a lot of attention.
So in order to conceal his true gains, he could only take the necklace away.
"No problem," Aesop nodded decisively, thinking to himself, how could I object?
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and said, "One hundred million, and I will help your family once... on the premise that it does not violate public order and good customs."
