Chapter 805: Undetermined Skill Stone

The Gambling Stone Building’s Hidden Treasure Room is located on the third floor, guarded by a Transcendent creature that looks very much like the Sanxingdui Bronze Standing Figure, and a yellow square creature that resembles SpongeBob.

Mingxi recognized it for a moment.

She could barely determine that the Bronze Standing Figure was the Saint-level Transcendent creature, Xu Ni Ru Yi.

But she truly didn’t recognize the SpongeBob.

“This is our Grand Offering of the Pavilion, Lord Mian Mian Ji Li, a Venerable-level Transcendent creature of both Earth and Poison elements.”

That’s impressive.

“It’s actually Venerable-level.”

Mingxi gasped inwardly, it was actually Venerable-level.

So this SpongeBob, no, Mian Mian Ji Li, was the first Venerable-level Transcendent creature she had ever seen in her life?

She felt a little flustered.

Having Venerable-level and Saint-level Transcendent creatures guarding the door, Mingxi’s anticipation for the Hidden Treasure Room grew even stronger.

If there weren’t good things inside, which family would be so extravagant?

“Lord Ji Li, Lord Ru Yi, this is the guest who won the grand prize today.”

Xu Ni Ru Yi and Mian Mian Ji Li’s two pairs of very spirited eyes instantly landed on Mingxi and Little Silver Flower.

Their eyes glowed green.

Mingxi: “Good day, two Lords.”

Little Silver Flower also politely roared.

Xu Ni Ru Yi and Mian Mian Ji Li probably liked polite children like them, and contentedly stroked their non-existent beards.

They nodded to her, pretending to be profound.

“Xu Xu.”

“Mian Mian.”

Although she didn't understand, they were probably praising her.

That’s right.

Zhou Li’an: “...”

“Cough, Lord Ji Li, please open the door for us.”

Mian Mian Ji Li didn't say a word, and released an energy skill towards the bronze door, which looked very out of place in the highly developed technological interstellar world.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

The bronze door slowly opened, and from the sound, it was clear the door was very heavy, at least five or six tons.

“Miss Yan, please.”

Mingxi respectfully nodded to the two big °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° shots, then followed Zhou Li’an into the Hidden Treasure Room.

That Xu Ni Ru Yi jumped off the stone pedestal and shrunk into a half-meter-tall stick figure.

It followed them inside.

Mingxi was already captivated by the grand scene before her.

As far as the eye could see, there were antique shelves, and on the shelves were transparent isolation covers, each containing a Skill Stone the size of a head.

However, outside the isolation covers, the skill name and quality of the Skill Stone were written.

No need for blind selection.

“Miss Yan, you can choose now.”

Mingxi hummed and asked, “What is the highest-rank skill you have here? Do you have Heavenly-Rank skills?”

“Cough.”

Even though he had somewhat understood Yan Luoxi’s personality, Zhou Li’an still couldn’t adapt to her blunt and thick-skinned style.

“After entering the Hidden Treasure Room, guests can only choose by themselves; our internal staff cannot provide any assistance.”

Mingxi still looked at him, “You can’t help, but can you blink? Left eye blinks for Heavenly-Rank skill, right eye blinks for Earth-Rank skill?”

Zhou Li’an: “...”

He wouldn’t blink, and couldn’t blink.

Lord Ru Yi was still watching.

“Tsk, inflexible.”

Zhou Li’an: “...”

Mingxi no longer troubled Zhou Li’an.

Her gaze swept over the isolation covers.

The Skill Stones that could enter the Hidden Treasure Room were indeed extraordinary; Mingxi had already seen several Earth-Rank skills.

She walked past rows of antique shelves.

Her eyes were dazed, and her head was dizzy.

She wanted everything.

“Ruici.”

Little Silver Flower called out.

Mingxi’s eyes lit up, could it be that Little Silver Flower had found something good?

She walked to its location; inside the isolation cover directly opposite was a Skill Stone that was blue with hints of blood, and even stranger, a layer of red mist coiled within the isolation cover.

It faintly emitted an ominous and mysterious aura.

Mingxi’s gaze shifted downwards,

“Unranked Skill Stone, suspected to be a Dark-attribute skill?”

Unranked?

Meaning a Skill Stone whose skill rank could not be determined.

Seeing Mingxi notice this special Skill Stone, Zhou Li’an, who had stated he couldn't provide any assistance, suddenly spoke: “This Skill Stone has been preserved for many years, existing even before Blue Star landed on Green Field Star. It was passed down by a branch of the Kabu Clan, the Qihui Clan. Later, when the Qihui Clan was destroyed, this Skill Stone eventually found its way into our Gambling Stone Building.”

So this Skill Stone has existed for at least thirty-four years.

“Can’t be ranked? Is there no way to analyze it?”

“Yes.”

Mingxi stared at the Skill Stone with its strange and unpredictable aura, “Did you try having Transcendent creatures of all attribute configurations absorb it, but all failed?”

Zhou Li’an was surprised by her keenness and nodded: “That’s right, we tried with all the pet beast attribute configurations we could find, but not a single pet beast successfully made it resonate even slightly.”

Resonance here means the Skill Stone showing signs of being absorbed.

No wonder this mysterious and dangerous Skill Stone has been preserved until now.

Basically, there’s only one fundamental reason why a Skill Stone cannot be absorbed: it’s a mismatch.

For example, Golden Yuanbao cannot absorb an Ice-attribute Skill Stone.

Of course, the possibility of the Skill Stone having special exclusivity cannot be ruled out.

So what exactly is the situation with this Skill Stone, which gives off a dangerous aura even through the isolation cover?

Mingxi did think of one possibility: could it be a dual-inverse or multi-attribute Skill Stone?

“Have you tried multi-attribute?”

“We have. Although multi-attribute is hard to find, it’s not impossible to find. Doesn’t your Blue Star have one called You Yan Yue Huang? I heard it’s a unique three-element type: Demon, Lightning, and Flight?”

If she weren’t sure her identity couldn’t be exposed, Mingxi would have thought this guy was deliberately probing her.

She showed an expression of regret and sorrow, lighting a candle for herself, and said indifferently: “Yes, its Beast Tamer named it Golden Yuanbao. Although it only appeared less than two years ago, it is already a household name in our Dragonflower Country.

I didn’t expect Manager Zhou to know about it too.”

Zhou Li’an noticed Mingxi’s low spirits and thought of You Yan Yue Huang’s Beast Tamer, the legendary alliance first genius, a brilliant and talented young girl who died young.

A peerless talent like a comet.

“Actually, it’s because our Pavilion Master once wanted to send this Skill Stone to Blue Star’s Dragonflower Country, to that esteemed person.”

Mingxi was startled, “You mean Mingxi?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“The Pavilion Master heard that her pet beasts were all very unique. He felt that this Skill Stone would only have a chance to reveal its true form in her hands. Our Pavilion Master wanted to know what it truly was.”

Zhou Li’an sighed lightly, “Unfortunately, that esteemed person passed away suddenly. Our Pavilion Master didn’t want to upset her family, so he abandoned his original plan and placed this Skill Stone in the Hidden Treasure Room of the building.”

Before this, this Skill Stone had always been kept separately by the Pavilion Master.

Speaking of which, Yan Luoxi was the first guest to win the grand prize after this Skill Stone was placed in the Hidden Treasure Room.

Mingxi didn’t expect such a backstory.

Could this be fate?
