This was a dim, gray area, with thin gray mist swirling all around it.

Through the gray mist, one could vaguely see… a massive, ancient stone tablet standing prominently in front.

The black bug inside the compass became active at this moment.

It seemed very eager to approach the stone tablet ahead.

"No wonder it's so hard for ordinary people to find the stone tablet; it turns out it's hidden within some kind of illusion."

Xiao Shi suddenly understood.

If it weren't for the compass's guidance, he wouldn't have thought that the mountain wall he saw earlier was an illusion.

Presumably, the Flying Origin Palace Master also discovered the stone tablet by chance.

It must be said.

This indeed required a certain amount of luck.

Xiao Shi cautiously approached the stone tablet ahead.

Soon, he clearly saw the information on the stone tablet.

Just as He Pengfei had said earlier.

The stone tablet recorded the exclusive items within the Seven Stars Holy Land.

Xiao Shi counted.

This stone tablet recorded a total of fifteen different exclusive items.

It not only listed the relevant information for each exclusive item but also the conditions for obtaining them.

It's just that these conditions… made Xiao Shi's heart tremble with fear.

First, this stone tablet.

It was called the "Price Stone Tablet"!

To obtain the exclusive items on the stone tablet, one needed to pay different prices!

According to the ranking of these fifteen exclusive items, there were varying degrees of prices.

And all these prices were mainly self-mutilation.

The number one ranked exclusive item was the holy land badge. gray.

According to the description of this item on the stone tablet.

Possessing this item granted one a special privilege within the Seven Stars Holy Land!

It was similar to the [holy land badge. white] in Xiao Shi's hand.

However, the privileges of the two would be different.

And the price to obtain the holy land badge. gray… was to sever all four limbs!

And it had to be one's own limbs, not someone else's.

At the same time, all four limbs had to be cut off and offered as a sacrifice.

Only then… could one obtain the holy land badge. gray from this stone tablet!

"No one would ever do something like that for such a price!"

Xiao Shi shook his head.

Although he didn't know if the ability to regrow severed limbs existed in this world.

But at least in the Entering Martial Realm and Qi Martial Realm, it was absolutely impossible!

Currently, Xiao Shi had many Entering Martial Rank healing elixirs, but even the highest quality healing elixirs could not regrow severed limbs.

And the step of sacrificing the four limbs also precluded the possibility of reattaching them after they were cut off.

Such a price… no matter how good the reward, no one would surely do it.

After all, once one lost their four limbs, even if they didn't die, they would be a cripple.

Even if they obtained the holy land badge. gray, it wouldn't allow them to regrow their limbs, making it not worth the loss.

Xiao Shi continued to look down.

The holy land badge. gray could be said to be the item with the greatest price among all these items.

The second-ranked item was something called the Soul Communication Scroll.

The price to obtain this item was merely to sever both arms.

Although it wasn't as great a price as obtaining the holy land badge. gray, it was unlikely that anyone would exchange their arms for this item.

As he looked further down.

Xiao Shi saw a familiar item among the fourth-ranked exclusive items, which was… the black shadows spirit wandering soul!

This item, capable of killing a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

Surprisingly, it was only ranked fourth!

And the price to obtain this item… Xiao Shi believed that a normal person would also be unable to do it.

That was… self-castration!

"There shouldn't be such a ruthless person, right?"

Xiao Shi shook his head.

However, he noticed.

This item displayed on the stone tablet was somewhat different from the others.

The fonts displaying other items were all very bright.

However, the font displaying this item was dim and lusterless.

"Does this mean… this item is no longer available?"

Xiao Shi's heart stirred.

Through this, he immediately realized that the reason this item was gone was likely because he had already obtained it.

Although there was also the possibility that it had been exchanged by others.

But Xiao Shi felt that this possibility was very small.

After all, in the face of such a huge price, the number of people who could bear it, if not none, would definitely be extremely few.

Xiao Shi believed that it should be that after he killed and it dropped, the item would disappear from the stone tablet.

"If that's the case, then the exclusive items that I can drop after killing should all be items that still exist on the stone tablet and have not been obtained by others."

"But once an exclusive item on the stone tablet is obtained by someone else first… then it can no longer be dropped."

"In other words…"

"I must get these exclusive items before others do."

"Otherwise, once some powerful exclusive items fall into the hands of enemies, it will be troublesome."

Xiao Shi knew.

Although many exclusive items on this stone tablet would basically not be obtained by others.

After all, the price was simply too great.

However, there was more than one stone tablet in the Seven Stars Holy Land.

And the "theme" of each stone tablet was different.

The theme of this stone tablet was price.

Therefore, to obtain these items, one needed to pay various prices.

But other stone tablets had different themes.

Not all stone tablets had the same theme.

And different stone tablets would also record different exclusive items.

For example, the [holy land badge. white] that Xiao Shi now possessed was clearly an item from another stone tablet.

After Xiao Shi finished looking at all fifteen exclusive items on this stone tablet.

He found that even the item with the smallest price.

Still required cutting off a finger as a price.

Such a price, for others, might be something they could grit their teeth and bear.

But for Xiao Shi, it was completely unnecessary.

Xiao Shi even felt that he didn't need to look for other stone tablets anymore.

Even if other stone tablets had different themes, he didn't need to obtain exclusive items through the methods on the stone tablets.

He just needed to quickly make more kills.

From the many exclusive items on this current stone tablet, Xiao Shi realized that the Holy Land Badge should be the best item among all exclusive items.

Besides gray and white, there was likely a third type of Holy Land Badge.

And each Holy Land Badge would have a different special privilege.

"I wonder what other privileges the other badges will have, besides the privilege of multiple item uses?"

Xiao Shi was very curious about this.

Then he left here.

He looked at the sky.

The sky was already turning white, and dawn was approaching.

Xiao Shi thought for a moment and decided to find a safe place first, and then start acting at night.

No matter what… his own safety was the most important.

Daytime was really not conducive to action.

Whether it was his own stealth or strength, there would be a great degree of weakening.

Encountering a Qi Martial Realm initial stage with few Qi Vortex activated wouldn't pose any danger.

But once he encountered those powerful Qi Martial Realm cultivators, it would be very troublesome.

Currently, he no longer had the exclusive item that could kill a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection, so he couldn't be reckless.

Everything was based on stability.
