Martial Master

An hour later, Qin Chen had set up several interconnected fifth-level formations in this place. These formations combined to even form a small sixth-level formation.

In other words, even if a sixth-level Martial Venerable accidentally stumbled in, it might not be able to break through immediately and affect Qin Chen.

Seeing the arranged formations, Qin Chen nodded in satisfaction before entering the formation.

He first took out the storage rings of Liu Ze and Jiu Mo Xin.

He first examined Jiu Mo Xin's storage ring, and after checking, he was pleasantly surprised.

Due to Jiu Mo Xin spending a long time in Heizhao City, there were quite a few spiritual herbs in the storage ring, many of which were of fifth-level quality, making them almost the most needed items for Qin Chen right now.

In addition to some spiritual herbs, Qin Chen also found a significant amount of true stones in Jiu Mo Xin's storage ring.

Among them, there were at least tens of thousands of lower-grade true stones and several hundred middle-grade true stones.

However, some of the pills inside were not very useful to Qin Chen.

After collecting all the items he needed, Qin Chen began to check Liu Ze's storage ring.

When he opened it, Qin Chen was almost stunned.

The first thing that caught his eye was a dense mass of true stones.

Among them, there were at least three to four hundred thousand lower-grade true stones, and over ten thousand middle-grade true stones.

Hiss!

Unable to help but take a deep breath, Qin Chen stared in disbelief.

He didn't expect that Liu Ze, a sixth-level early-stage Martial Venerable, would possess so many true stones.

These true stones were nothing to the former Qin Chen, but for the reborn Qin Chen, it was almost the largest fortune he had ever seen.

Qin Chen never imagined that just half a day after exhausting all his true stones due to breaking through to Martial God, he would gain even more—far exceeding the quantity he had before.

With these true stones, at least before reaching the peak of the fifth-level late stage, he wouldn't be too financially strained.

After putting all the true stones into his storage ring, Qin Chen once again discovered many spiritual herbs from Liu Ze's storage ring.

The quantity of these spiritual herbs was substantial, with at least several hundred, and the worst among them were fourth-level spiritual herbs, while the majority were fifth-level, with a small number of sixth-level spiritual herbs.

Great! With these spiritual herbs, it would be almost effortless for the black slave to break through to sixth-level Martial Venerable, and maybe even advance further.

While collecting the spiritual herbs, Qin Chen was ecstatic.

Besides true stones and spiritual herbs, Qin Chen also found many high-level materials and numerous pills in Liu Ze's storage ring.

That small storage ring was almost like a treasure trove.

What Qin Chen didn't know was that the treasures in Liu Ze's storage ring were not only accumulated by him over decades but also many were obtained by the Gu Feng Merchants from the Heisi Marsh during this time.

For example, the thirty-four thousand lower-grade true stones required a martial artist to spend one hundred lower-grade true stones to teleport into the Heisi Marsh, meaning thirty to forty thousand true stones represented the wealth of approximately three to four thousand people, which were not solely Liu Ze's but temporarily stored in his storage ring as the property of the Gu Feng Merchant Association.

However, as the vice president of the Gu Feng Merchant Association stationed in Heizhao City, Liu Ze naturally wouldn't keep these true stones at the association's base but carried them with him. For someone like him, keeping them on his person was evidently much safer than storing them at the base.

Unexpectedly, in the end, all these items fell into Qin Chen's hands, leaving nothing behind.

After excitedly emptying the contents of the storage ring, Qin Chen began to observe the Li Kan Holy Mirror owned by Liu Ze.

The ancient mirror felt heavy upon touch, and it was hard to discern what material it was made from.
