113: Three Wonders

Are there many awakened ones who cultivate detection-type abilities?

Clearly, there are not many.

Because detection-type abilities are difficult to cultivate, and they are not needed that often.

Usually, assassins in a team double as detectors.

Pure detection specialists are generally supported by major powers.

For example, there is a department in Xia Country where everyone cultivates pure detection abilities.

Departments like Heavenly Eye, Clairaudience, Truth Listener, and Howling Sky are all renowned.

Take Heavenly Eye, for example; it is both a department and a profession, a dedicated support profession.

Their abilities are very strong, focusing entirely on cultivating eye-type awakened abilities.

It is composed of four eye-type awakened abilities.

Supervision, Penetrating Eye, Multi-dimensional Vision, and Eagle Eye.

This allows Heavenly Eye not only to possess a pair of eyes with super long-range vision but also to detect from multiple dimensions, such as thermal, electromagnetic, and energy fields.

After using Eagle Eye, several flying eyes will appear, helping to scout everywhere.

But even this well-rounded Heavenly Eye profession cannot compare to Lin Ye's Star Eyes.

Star Eyes has already reached the limit of a Star Level awakened ability, with twice as many attribute points as a normal Star Level ability.

The benefits it brings are terrifying, even stronger than the combined amplification of the entire Heavenly Eye set of awakened abilities.

Then there's proficiency. Awakened abilities that enhance perception are difficult to cultivate, and who can achieve mastery?

Therefore, looking across the entire world, few humans can surpass Lin Ye in terms of detection.

That's why Lin Ye was able to discover many new resource points.

For this exploration, he decided to map out information on all resource points.

This will be a terrifying advantage in the future.

The most important thing was to find information about the Starlight Core.

Mapping out the area is undoubtedly a massive undertaking.

Fortunately, a rough map has already been purchased; Lin Ye just needs to draw and write on it, adding information about the latest resource points.

His primary exploration range is also the area near White Mist City; anything further is beyond his current capability.

This exploration lasted a full half-month.

The results were also very surprising.

There were actually three Starlight Cores.

One primarily produces Gold Level, and it is the largest.

The remaining two primarily produce Silver Level, and they are relatively smaller.

He carefully stored the completed map.

This is capital for making money in the future.

It not only records information about resource points but also about wondrous items, rare exotic beasts, star cores, and other important information like strongholds of other factions.

Now it's time to collect the wondrous items.

Lin Ye's heart was burning with excitement.

He discovered three wondrous items.

Because they were all somewhat difficult to obtain, and there was currently no possibility of them being discovered by others, he did not retrieve them immediately but first completed the map.

Now that the map is complete, it's time to retrieve them.

The first wondrous item was in a mountain gorge, surrounded by lush vegetation, with a giant ancient tree blocking out the sky.

The wondrous item was buried at the base of the large tree, its flickering green light exceptionally dazzling in Lin Ye's Star Eyes field of vision.

It was just buried a bit deep.

Lin Ye dug for a long time, unearthing it—a root-like object resembling a plant stem.

Its effect is unknown, and it still needs to be verified by someone.

However, through the ancient tree, he roughly guessed a little information about the wondrous item.

The second one was in a beast pack's nest, shaped like a bone.

It was very difficult to obtain.

This beast pack had quite a few Seventh Level creatures; Lin Ye paid a considerable price, relying on teleportation, and finally managed to snatch it.

It took him a full three days to escape.

Because he was injured all over, he rested for one night.

Little White's dream can restore injuries.

A night of quality sleep, and he was fully recovered the next day.

The last one was not easy to get; Lin Ye left the most troublesome one for last.

This wondrous item was in a faction's stronghold.

It wasn't in their possession, but rather embedded in the rock wall of their stronghold.

This wondrous item was similar to ordinary granite, but that was just its outer shell; inside, it contained densely packed runes. This was the most complex runic item among the three wondrous items.

It was probably also the strongest one.

Lin Ye was a bit troubled.

This stronghold belonged to Mao Xiong Country.

Mao Xiong Country and Xia Country are strategic partners; it would be a bit unreasonable for him to just break in and dig up their wall.

Moreover, the security level inside was not low.

Twenty people, five of whom were Ninth Level.

As an important stronghold for Mao Xiong, the defensive power was not limited to just that.

There were also Rune Guns and Rune Cannons.

Rune Guns and Rune Cannons are the lowest-end Rune technology.

But even at the lowest end, the combination of Rune technology and science yields considerable power.

It's much stronger than pure technology on Earth.

These Rune armaments, when fired in concentrated attacks, are no problem for dealing with Ninth Level creatures.

On Blue Star, the limit of pure technology is dealing with Seventh Level, and concentrated fire can deal with Eighth Level.

But Rune black technology can go one step further.

Lin Ye's Rune Armor is an embodiment of Rune black technology; wearing the armor, Lin Ye can increase his strength by one level.

He didn't use the armor to bully Gu Qingzhu during their fight; otherwise, he would have absolutely suppressed her.

Without a doubt, he could break in; Lin Ye was confident, although he would pay a considerable price in the end.

But what about afterward?

Unable to come up with a solution, Lin Ye could only leave.

He could only wait and see what changes occurred after the Demon Invasion.

Why couldn't it be Yamato or Beautiful Country? Damn it, then there wouldn't be any political issues.

He marked this location well.

As for being discovered? Or taken by someone else? Are you kidding? Mao Xiong hasn't discovered it for so long, and others can't get in; it's very safe.

Returning to White Mist City.

Lin Ye found a place for appraisal.

He concealed his identity and paid thirty thousand gold coins to a specialized Rune Master for appraisal.

Lin Ye could indeed see the runes on the wondrous items clearly with his Star Eyes.

However, he was a Rune novice; even seeing them clearly, he didn't understand their meaning.

Speaking of which, Rune Masters are really expensive.

An appraisal, and thirty thousand gold coins were in hand.

Robbing people wouldn't be this efficient.

This Master's skill was excellent; in less than thirty minutes, he clearly explained the effects of both wondrous items.

"You're really lucky; you obtained two wondrous items at once. It's a rare sight in a century," the Master muttered.

"Luck, just luck." Having concealed his identity, Lin Ye didn't intend to hide anything.

"One of these two wondrous items has the effect of promoting plant growth. It can increase the growth rate of Gold Level plants tenfold, which is simply a top-tier item!" the Master said, pointing to the wondrous item resembling a plant root.

Lin Ye knew the value of a tenfold growth rate. Applied to Gold Level plants, especially extremely rare ones, it would definitely yield immense profits.

For example, a Gold Level spiritual tree that originally bore fruit once every ten years would now bear fruit every year, with a big harvest each time.

And how many Gold Level fruits could a Gold Level fruit tree produce?

That's an unimaginable quantity.

It's estimated to be hundreds of millions in income every year.

Of course, this must be a high-yield and very rare Gold Level plant.

Otherwise, if used on an ordinary Gold Level plant, the annual income might only be hundreds of thousands, like Gold Level fodder grass, which would be practically useless.

Unfortunately, it wasn't very suitable for Lin Ye.

Lin Ye's future path was destined to be one of forging ahead bravely.

This item was more suitable for family businesses that harvest wealth generation after generation to maximize profits.

"The remaining one can be integrated into one's bones, tempering the skeleton to make it even more robust. It also provides protection and repair functions and can promote hematopoietic ability. The most suitable level is also Gold Level, making it a minor top-tier item," the Master said, pointing to the bone-like wondrous item.
