Of course, aside from the weapons of the Holy Master of the Ghost Array, the remaining treasures of the Holy Masters are quite valuable when gathered together.
There are also some materials, including those for alchemy and those for refining, all neatly organized by Qin Chen.
Among everything here, what Qin Chen is most concerned about is a token-like object.
If Qin Chen remembers correctly, this item should have been retrieved from the storage space of the Holy Master of the Ghost Array.
The token is not large, only the size of a palm, with an ancient color. It is unknown what material it is forged from, and the front is engraved with intricate patterns that feel incredibly mysterious. Just a glance at it gives Qin Chen a sense of a vast history, containing endless ancient meaning.
“What exactly is this token?
It gives me an incredibly mysterious feeling.
Moreover, the materials in the world that I do not know are extremely rare, and I have never seen the material used to craft this token. How strange?”
Qin Chen frowned. He urged his divine sense and used his own power to carefully examine this token and found that he was unable to discern its material. Searching his memory, he still did not know what this token was for.
He immediately summoned Xiahou Zun with his divine sense.
“Master.”
Xiahou Zun instantly appeared in front of Qin Chen, looking respectful. His injuries had mostly healed, and his aura had thickened again, even hinting at a potential breakthrough to the later stage of the Holy Master.
This was natural. Qin Chen had previously checked on Xiahou Zun and knew that after he broke through to the later stage of the Holy Master, he was struck by a fate technique from the Zhuge family, injuring his origin and causing his realm to drop.
However, under the nourishment of the source of the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree, Xiahou Zun's damaged origin was slowly repairing. The Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree is a treasure of the Demon Tribe, containing unfathomable power, making it extremely easy to heal Xiahou Zun's origin damage. Of course, this required a process; if he wanted to speed up the repair, it would require Qin Chen to expend a considerable amount of energy.
“This token, where did you obtain it?”
Qin Chen inquired.
“Reporting to the master, this token was obtained by this subordinate from an ancient secret place in the Southern Sky Realm. This subordinate's attainments in formations, such as the Ghost King Fengdu Great Array and the Corpse Puppet Great Array, were also derived from that forbidden place. This item is located in the core area of that forbidden zone. This subordinate does not know its specific use, but its storage location is more secretive than This subordinate's formation inheritance. Therefore, this subordinate suspects this should be some kind of special treasure.”
Xiahou Zun replied respectfully.
“Oh?
Obtained from a certain secret place in the Southern Sky Realm?”
Qin Chen pondered, “Inform me of the location and details of that secret place.”
Qin Chen planned to head to the Southern Sky Realm next, as he might have the opportunity to enter that forbidden zone. Moreover, this item was likely of extraordinary origin, considering it was built upon the formations mastered by Xiahou Zun.
Qin Chen did not study it further but instead stored it in the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate for gradual research later.
Then, Qin Chen took out the black jade box from the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate.
As soon as this item appeared, the remnants of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox under the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree stirred with waves of energy. If the soul of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox were still present, it would definitely leap out in excitement. However, at this moment, she was left with only a remnant soul, and without being restored by the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree, she could not manifest and could only convey simple waves of divine sense.
“Buzz!”
Qin Chen immediately infused his spiritual power into the black jade box. Inside the black jade box was a blood-red jade hairpin, which was very ancient and complex. The weapon spirit of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was evidently connected to this hairpin.
