Chapter 106: Chapter 107 Storage Ring
âUncle Master, is it really necessary to be this excited to see me?â Lin Qian amusingly asked upon seeing Qin Wushuangâs expression.
Qin Wushuang hurriedly rushed to Lin Qianâs side and, seeing the otherâs nonchalant attitude, said exasperatedly, âYou rascal, what on earth is going on? Arenât you a bit too bold? How dare you venture into the Dead Land?â
âWhatâs wrong with going to the Dead Land? At least I made a full pot there. If you donât believe me, ask Lei Qian and the others how much treasure they scavenged from the ruins within the Dead Land.â Lin Qian retorted, unconcerned.
Hearing Lin Qianâs words, Qin Wushuang couldnât help but turn his head and look towards Lei Qian and the others.
Noticing Qin Wushuangâs gaze, Lei Qian and his group sheepishly chuckled twice.
âYou youngsters, acting disappointed when there are no rewards. It turns out you had already reaped quite a bounty behind the scenes!â Qin Wushuang looked deeply at Lei Qian and the others before suddenly turning back, âBut I donât care about them. I want to ask you, young man, what exactly is going on?â
...
Meanwhile, Mei Yuexia also hurriedly stepped forward and anxiously inquired of Lin Qian, âHow come only you have come out? Where is Ye Xin?â
âXinxin is still in seclusion, Sect Master Mei need not worry,â Lin Qian first answered Mei Yuexiaâs question and then turned back to Qin Wushuang, âAs for the question Uncle Master asked, itâs simple. This Middle Ages ruin can no longer be opened from now on.â
âWhat did you say?â Qin Wushuang, Mei Yuexia, and Hai Xiaoyun all exclaimed in shock at the same time. Lei Qian and the other talented disciples were also staring at Lin Qian in astonishment.
âI canât go into details about what exactly happened inside; I can only say that some unforeseen events occurred,â Lin Qian said and did not elaborate further, obviously unwilling to explain.
Qin Wushuang and the othersâ expressions kept changing, clearly unable to recover from Lin Qianâs words.
Ever since the discovery of the Middle Ages ruin, it had always been the destination for the Nirvana Realm disciples from the three sects and five schools, where they could gain valuable rewards after passing the trials.
And now Lin Qian was telling them that this Middle Ages ruin would never open again?
âSect Master Hai, thank you for standing with the Wanxiang Sect earlier. This is a token of our appreciation.â While everyone was deep in thought, Lin Qian suddenly spoke up and handed a ring towards Hai Xiaoyun.
Seeing the ring handed over by Lin Qian, Hai Xiaoyun was first stunned, then realized what it was and exclaimed in a low voice, âStorage Ring!â
Like a pouch, it was a kind of Soul Device that had an inner space for storage.
Even the lowest grade Storage Rings were of Middle B-level Soul Devices.
In the entire Wanxiang Sect, there were only two Storage Rings, and both were crudely made Middle B-level ones.
Hai Xiaoyun wore such a storage ring on his hand, which appeared dull and looked like an iron ring set with an extremely tiny Space Crystal.
The Storage Ring that Lin Qian handed him was made from illusionary blue iron and had patterns of waves branded on it. Moreover, the entire surface of the ring was covered in a layer of Space Crystal.
Compared to the storage ring on his own hand, it was like heaven and earth.
âSect Master Hai, this design was specially picked by me. How do you like it?â Seeing Hai Xiaoyun still in a daze, Lin Qian proactively asked.
âAh?â Hearing Lin Qianâs question, Hai Xiaoyun finally snapped back to reality, nodding repeatedly, âI like it, this storage ring must be at least Class A, right?â
âSect Master Hai has a discerning eye, impressive indeed, this is indeed a Middle A-level storage ring,â Lin Qian said with a smile and a nod.
As surprised as he was, Hai Xiaoyun sent his consciousness into the storage ring and instantly knew what was stored inside.
When he saw clearly what was inside, Hai Xiaoyunâs white beard trembled, and due to a moment of instability, the storage ring flew out of his hand.
Lin Qian, with quick reflexes, caught the storage ring and, with a chuckle, handed it back to Hai Xiaoyun, âSect Master Hai, this is a token of appreciation for your sect, since there were no rewards in the Middle Ages relic, and it was all triggered by me. No need to be so agitated.â
With trembling hands, Hai Xiaoyun took the storage ring back from Lin Qian and after taking a deep breath, he said, âYoung Emperor, such a valuable gift, I donât even know what to say. But rest assured, Young Emperor, our sect will definitely stand on the same front as the Wanxiang Sect.â
âWith those words from Sect Master Hai, I too am at ease. I believe your sect may receive even more in the future,â Lin Qian bowed slightly to Hai Xiaoyun and said with a smile, âI wonât see you out.â
Understanding Lin Qianâs intentions, Hai Xiaoyun repeatedly expressed his gratitude. Without bothering about the surprised looks from his disciples, he left with them.
It wasnât until Hai Xiaoyun and his disciples had disappeared from sight that Qin Wushuang, Mei Yuexia, and others had come back to their senses.
They genuinely couldnât understand why Hai Xiaoyun had humbled himself so much before Lin Qian, even addressing him as the Young Emperor.
âLin Qian, what on earth did you do, that the old Sect Master Hai almost wanted to kneel and thank you?â Qin Wushuang was extremely curious as he asked Lin Qian.
Lin Qian just smiled and asked Qin Wushuang in return, âUncle Master, if you were the sect master of his sect, and I gave you a storage ring whose contents could buy dozens of his sect and more, what would your reaction be?â
âBuy dozens of his sect? Are you saying the contents of the storage ring you gave are worth dozens of times his entire sect?â Lin Qianâs words made Qin Wushuang exclaim in disbelief.
âNo way?â Even Mei Yuexia stood still in astonishment, staring at Lin Qian, somewhat incredulous.
Seeing the astonished expressions on the faces of the two Sect Masters, Lin Qian laughed and pulled out two different-looking storage rings, âUncle Master, to avoid you claiming I favor others more than family, take this one. Sect Master Mei, since Xinxin is my fiancĂ©e, and thus I have ties with the Divine Sword Sect, take this one.â
After receiving the storage rings from Lin Qian, Qin Wushuang and Mei Yuexia simultaneously probed inside.
After finishing their investigation of the contents of the storage rings, Qin Wushuang and Mei Yuexia looked at each other, both seeing the shock and disbelief in each otherâs eyes.
Now, both fully understood why Hai Xiaoyun had that demeanor.
Mei Yuexia even thought that with the wealth inside the storage ring, over time, surpassing the Shengtian Sect would be a piece of cake.
âLin Qian, although what you have given is an enormous favor to the Divine Sword Sect, my elder martial sister is unlikely to be moved by this. You killed her only grandson, she will surely seek your life,â Mei Yuexia said worriedly to Lin Qian after receiving the storage ring.
Of course, Lin Qian knew that Mei Yuexia was referring to Fu Hengâs grandmother, the great elder of the Divine Sword Sect.
âIf she wants to seek death, let her come find trouble with me,â Lin Qian responded casually to Mei Yuexiaâs concerns.
With his master Wei Wushuang protecting him, Lin Qian really wasnât afraid of the so-called great elder of the Divine Sword Sect causing trouble.
