64: The three abilities of the seal

On the stone bed.

Ron looked dazed, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

At this moment, the mercury mirror hanging upside down on the ceiling was covered in cracks.

And the sealed coin on his brow had disappeared.

After a long while.

Ron's eyes refocused, and he finally came back to his senses.

"So, that's how it is..."

Ron muttered to himself, a look of understanding in his eyes.

It turned out that after he was kicked out of that mysterious gray space earlier.

A fragmented stream of information appeared in his mind.

After he slowly digested the information it carried.

He finally learned that the true name of the sealed coin was the ancient god coin.

And this ancient god coin belonged to the ancient God of Thieves—Hermes.

For some reason, Hermes had fallen, and his deeds and revered name had been erased, disappearing into history.

However, fortunately, before Hermes's death.

He had left a contingency plan, hiding some of his relics.

Among them was this ancient god coin.

"No wonder the Thieves' Guild people, although they've been chasing Magic Phantom Thief Patrick, don't even know what he stole..."

Ron suddenly understood, and casually extended his right hand.

In his originally empty palm, the ancient god coin suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"So it's because of the negative effect of stealing memories that comes with this coin..."

Yes, although this ancient god coin would not cause any harm to people.

But it also had a negative effect, which was that it would steal people's memories and erase its own traces.

Originally, the Thieves' Guild actually had detailed records of this coin's information.

But as decades passed, this coin continuously exerted its effect.

It not only made everyone who had seen it forget its existence.

Even the records in books were almost completely erased.

To this day, the Thieves' Guild only remembers that a coin seemed to be sealed in their storeroom.

But what the coin was called, what its effects were, who sealed it, and why it was sealed, they had completely forgotten.

If Magic Phantom Thief Patrick hadn't, for some reason.

Taken it out along with other sealed items when he was stealing from the Guild.

This coin would probably have remained sealed in the dark secret room of the Thieves' Guild for another few decades or even a hundred years.

"If I hadn't obtained it for such a short time, and had system intelligence reminders."

"Perhaps someday in the future, I too would forget this sealed coin."

"Or even spend it like a common copper coin?"

Ron raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and thought it was not impossible.

After all, a large part of the reason Patrick didn't come back to look for this coin was because... he had forgotten it.

However, Ron had now completely unsealed the ancient god coin and become its master.

Therefore, its memory-erasing effect could no longer affect Ron.

Ron twirled the coin between his fingers, his mind on the benefits it had brought him.

"This coin, after being unsealed, has provided me with three benefits."

"Firstly, it's a top-tier Breathing Technique, or rather, a Meditation Technique."

Ron thought to himself, a look of surprise in his eyes.

The so-called Meditation Technique, similar to a knight's Breathing Technique, is a cultivation method for mages to improve themselves.

And the cultivation method granted to him in the information stream just now had a very miraculous effect.

That is, this cultivation method was both a Breathing Technique and a Meditation Technique.

Since Ron's transmigration, whether in rural legends or system intelligence.

He had never heard of such a miraculous cultivation method that served two purposes.

Therefore, Ron speculated that the grade of this cultivation method.

Should have already surpassed the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels of ordinary Breathing Techniques or Meditation Techniques.

Instead, it had reached the most rare and mysterious level of "top-tier" Breathing Technique and Meditation Technique.

The reason for this is that, as a Thief Breathing Technique.

After cultivating this method, Ron would not only gain improvements in agility, burst, and other related attributes.

But he would also be able to steal, or rather, integrate the abilities of other Breathing Techniques for his own use.

"Generally speaking, a knight can only operate one Breathing Technique at a time."

"After all, a knight only has one life seed in his body..."

"But, with this Thief Breathing Technique, it's different."

"Although it cannot break the rule of only operating one Breathing Technique at a time."

"However, it can steal the auxiliary abilities of other Breathing Techniques and merge them into one!"

For example, Ron had previously cultivated the Wild Wolf Breathing Technique.

The effect of this Breathing Technique was to slightly increase strength, agility, defense, and stamina.

If cultivated to mastery, he could also enhance his sense of smell, hearing, and sight like a wild wolf, allowing him to see in the dark as if it were day.

Now, after switching to the Thief Breathing Technique, Ron could directly steal the auxiliary abilities of the Wild Wolf Breathing Technique.

While operating the Thief Breathing Technique, he could also gain the strength, defense, and stamina attributes, as well as the enhanced five senses, of the Wild Wolf Breathing Technique.

If used as a Thief Meditation Technique, it would have the same effect, allowing him to steal the effects of other Meditation Techniques for his own use.

"Just the abnormal ability of this cultivation method makes it a sealed item in name and in fact!"

Ron couldn't help but exclaim, and this was only the first benefit brought by the sealed item.

The remaining two were equally impressive compared to this cultivation method, each with its own merits.

"Secondly, this coin can also be used as a storage space."

On the God-Given Continent, space-related alchemical items are almost the most rare and expensive among their peers.

Even a long-lasting storage ring with only one cubic meter of internal space would sell for several thousand gold coins or more.

And the space contained within Ron's ancient god coin was several hundred cubic meters, as large as a room.

However, ordinary storage spaces can only store inanimate objects, not living beings.

The space within the ancient god coin was no exception.

Furthermore, to open the space and store items, a certain amount of Mental Energy is required.

Given Ron's current amount of Mental Energy, he could only store small items.

The largest item he could probably store would be the briefcase containing alchemical materials on the stone table.

"As for the third... it can serve as a life-saving measure."

"In times of danger, it can consume a large amount of energy to allow me to enter that spatial domain."

"It can even traverse distances in reality, achieving effects similar to 'Flash' or 'Teleportation'..."

Ron's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
