68: The Qi Stone transforms into a Friendship Stone! An invitation to the Mist Phoenix Gathering!

"If I get a bad stone, at worst I just won't go exploring in the Giant Tree Forest!"

Su Lie made up his mind.

Buzz!

Under his Enhancement Talent.

The Mist Phoenix Bird's Qi Stone underwent a transformation.

The gaseous Mist Phoenix Bird inside it became increasingly realistic.

Furthermore, some mysterious power seemed to connect with Su Lie.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on successfully establishing an equal friendship relationship with the Mist Phoenix Clan! You are the first among this batch of Mist World Survivors to establish a friendship relationship with a non-human faction!]

[Reward: 100,000 Mist Points!]

Su Lie's eyes widened when he saw this: "Holy crap! Did my status change from recognized slave to friend?"

Regardless.

These 100,000 Mist Points were too valuable!

With these points.

Su Lie's Mist Points immediately surpassed the million mark.

Reaching 1,033,602 points.

Immediately afterward.

He excitedly looked at the Strengthened Qi Stone.

[stone of friendship of the Mist Phoenix Clan: Red God-level Quality; it contains a trace of the Mist Phoenix Bird King's aura. Holding it allows free entry and exit from the Mist Phoenix Bird's territory to collect precious resources, and grants the right to obtain exclusive trading resources from the Mist Phoenix Bird.

Relying on this stone of friendship, you and the Mist Phoenix Bird will become equal friends. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis, you can use it to gain one instance of help from the Mist Phoenix Clan!

Note: Status and strength are equivalent! Do not use this to do excessive things, lest you provoke the Mist Phoenix Clan.]

Looking at the stone of friendship before him, Su Lie curled his lips slightly: "Good! After the Enhance, the rights and benefits I gained have become much greater! I just don't know how to trade resources with the Mist Phoenix Bird?"

Buzz!

Just then.

A notification appeared on the stone of friendship.

"The Mist Phoenix Clan will hold a special resource trade fair tomorrow at 5 AM in the Giant Tree Forest. All friends with needs are requested to come to the Giant Tree Forest for trading. Everyone is allowed to come and trade using a hidden identity!"

"Total transaction time: 30 minutes!"

"Trading rule: Bartering."

"After the transaction, everyone can state their respective resource needs."

"Please bring your trading resources!"

"Note: This transaction is protected by the Mist Phoenix Clan. No friend is allowed to use underhanded methods, place marks, track, intercept, or threaten any other friend; otherwise, they will certainly be pursued and killed by the Mist Phoenix Clan!"

"This transaction adheres to the principle of fair trade, witnessed by the mist rule. Those willing to come here, please sign this Contract Book. Those who violate the contents of the contract will be returned to the mist rule!"

"..."

The information below concerns the contract.

The contract has over ten clauses, mainly to ensure the smooth progress of the transaction and to serve as a binding contract for fair trade between the Mist Phoenix Clan and all friends holding the stone of friendship.

Su Lie found no loopholes after reading it, and after consideration, decided to participate in this Mist Phoenix Clan trade meeting.

Buzz!

When Su Lie dropped a bead of blood onto the stone of friendship as prompted.

A beam of Mist light flashed vividly.

Subsequently.

A Mist imprint was branded onto his forehead.

Su Lie carefully sensed it and found that this imprint was permanent.

This indicated that he must adhere to the contents of the contract during today's and future transactions.

Seeing this.

Su Lie laughed: "Good! These rules seem like a constraint for other powerful entities, meant to prevent war between the two factions! But for me, this is a life-saving contract!"

"With the protection of the mist rule, this transaction is secured!"

He felt relieved about the safety of this transaction.

Immediately afterward.

Su Lie looked at the spatial equipment crafting blueprint he had obtained from the Mist Phoenix Clan trade.

This was a Blue Rare-grade spatial equipment crafting blueprint, requiring all materials with spatial attributes and 1 million monster crystals.

Su Lie curled his lips when he saw this and retrieved the Poison Tail Scorpion's venom sac he had obtained during the day.

Currently, the venom sac had been completely purified, and all internal toxins had been cleansed.

It had become a spatial item capable of holding things.

However.

Before being crafted into equipment, it could only temporarily store resources, not store them long-term.

Moreover, the more items placed inside, the heavier it became.

Then.

Su Lie retrieved another 1 million monster crystals, and when he placed the two items together.

He used the Blue Rare-grade spatial equipment crafting blueprint.

Buzz!

A blue light burst forth.

The venom sac, under the power of the blueprint, merged with the 1 million monster crystals, transforming into a palm-sized pouch.

The pouch was ruyi-shaped, with two small loops for attaching a rope.

Su Lie looked at the pouch's panel.

[ruyi pouch: Blue Rare-grade spatial storage equipment; it has an internal three-dimensional storage space 5 meters long, 5 meters wide, and 5 meters high. You can use Spirit to open the pouch's space to store materials.

Special Effect - Featherweight: Regardless of how many materials the pouch holds, its weight remains only 10 grams.

Special Effect - Sturdy: The pouch's defense value is 10,000 points.]

"This pouch is good, but it's not as good as god-tier!"

Su Lie immediately used his Enhancement Talent on it.

Buzz!

After a round of Enhance.

The ruyi pouch was Strengthened into red god-tier storage equipment.

The internal three-dimensional space became 100 meters long, 100 meters wide, and 100 meters high.

This greatly surprised Su Lie, as it far exceeded the capacity within the Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad's belly.

He immediately looked further down.

After the Enhance, the ruyi pouch's special effects increased from 2 to 5.

Among them, Special Effect - Sturdy became Special Effect - Immortal.

[Special Effect - Immortal: The pouch is never damaged.]

[Special Effect - Automatic Ingestion/Ejection: Through Spirit manipulation, the pouch can automatically take in or retrieve materials; only a verbal command to the pouch is needed.]

[Special Effect - Spacetime Freeze: The space within the pouch is in a Spacetime Freeze state. Whatever condition the materials are in when you store them, they will be in the same condition when you take them out.]

[Special Effect - Master Recognition: When your Spirit communicates with the ruyi pouch for the first time, the ruyi pouch will automatically recognize you as its master. From then on, only you can open it. Unless you die, no one else can open it.]

After completing the pouch's Enhance.

Su Lie excitedly activated the pouch.

Soon.

After completing the master recognition with the pouch, he perceived everything within the pouch's internal space.

Buzz!

Under his attempt, an Eight Immortals Table was instantly moved into the pouch's interior.

As he commanded the pouch through his Spirit, the Eight Immortals Table was released by the pouch to a location three meters in front of Su Lie.

During this process, there were no light fluctuations on the pouch, nor did Su Lie sense any other spatial fluctuations.

"Good!"

After testing it.

Su Lie rubbed his chin and muttered softly: "This gathering is mainly for me to go and see the world! What should I bring?"

wula grass rope, Eight Immortals Table?

Or other god-tier resources?

He needed to think carefully about these things.

Now that he had the ruyi pouch, he could certainly take a large number of resources with him.

But he was worried about being robbed, so he didn't dare put all his resources into the ruyi pouch.

If he lost it!

He would lose his entire fortune.

Just as he was thinking.

Cluck! Cluck!

A rooster crow sounded.

Su Lie suddenly looked up.

He saw a rooster in the wooden bucket on the Solid Wood Bed, covered in fiery red feathers and emitting a faint orange, flame-shaped glow, looking up and out of the bucket.

The rooster's gaze toward Su Lie was especially affectionate.

It seemed to want to fly out, but it couldn't get out of the bamboo tube.

"I almost forgot! I also nurtured a Blazing Flame Divine Chicken! I wonder if this chicken recognizes me as its master, or if it already recognized Liya and Keqing!"

Su Lie muttered as he walked toward the Blazing Flame Divine Chicken, which had been born just over an hour ago...
