221: A gift from the previous owner

Chen Tianming had barely turned around when he already guessed who was behind him.

Wan Yue's smile was obvious.

"You don't think my abilities are entirely due to my flexibility, do you? Can't I have other methods?"

Chen Tianming turned his head and saw the person behind him.

"I'm also trying my best to adapt to my current life, but I just don't know how long this peace can last."

As Wan Yue spoke, a hint of helplessness flickered across her face. As her clones were found one by one, her memories were also filled in significantly.

This feeling made her both excited and helpless, unsure of what tomorrow held for her.

"Speaking of which, how did you handle the task I gave you?"

Chen Tianming didn't want to talk about trivial matters with Wan Yue right now; he was more curious about the jade-inlaid gold bracelet he had given her and its mysterious uses.

"I came specifically to tell you about this. I've already examined the item you gave me, but the result was a bit unexpected."

Chen Tianming turned his head and gazed into Wan Yue's eyes, making sure she wasn't lying to him.

"This should be an accessory carried by cultivators. Its function is spatial storage, which can be used to carry things that cannot be carried close to the body."

Spatial storage.

Chen Tianming smiled.

That's interesting. He thought it would be something like ability conversion, but it turned out to be just a huge backpack.

"And I just discovered something even more interesting."

As she spoke, Wan Yue picked up the bracelet and instantly gripped it tightly. Unexpectedly, when she opened her hand, the bracelet had transformed into the size of a ring.

"This item itself can automatically adjust its size, which provides a lot of convenience for cultivators. I think the He family probably hasn't discovered this point, which is why they treated it as an ordinary jade-inlaid gold bracelet, passed down through generations. I never imagined such a good item would fall into our hands so easily."

As she said this, Wan Yue's heart was filled with awe, but Chen Tianming merely smiled and took the item into his own hand.

"Whether they know or not is irrelevant to me. I only care about what I've obtained."

Under the moonlight, Wan Yue's face became even more exquisite, with a gentle smile in her eyes. For a moment, Chen Tianming even felt that the person in front of him was just an ordinary woman, nothing more.

"You've worked hard today. If there's nothing else, you can go back and rest. I'll just study here myself."

No sooner had he spoken than Wan Yue's hand naturally rested on Chen Tianming's shoulder, her voice tinged with tenderness.

"Don't you want me to help you? This place has extremely strong spiritual energy and a magnetic field. Cultivating here would yield twice the results with half the effort, and if we could cultivate together, the effect would be even more self-evident."

Chen Tianming's current abilities were not yet enough to completely replace Wan Yue.

If he could get her help at this critical juncture, it would be a huge gain for Chen Tianming.

But Chen Tianming refused without even thinking.

"No, thank you. I've just arrived at a new place, and I want to familiarize myself with the environment before cultivating. If I only pursued power without regard for anything else, wouldn't I become a machine that only knows how to cultivate?"

"Well said."

Since Chen Tianming didn't need her, Wan Yue stopped trying to persuade him and turned to go back inside.

"Wait a moment."

Chen Tianming suddenly called out to Wan Yue, "Since you said this is spiritual energy used for storage, how should I open it?"

She thought Chen Tianming was calling her back because he had changed his mind, or had something more important to say, but it turned out to be just for this.

Wan Yue sighed, her voice calm.

"You should be able to open it by injecting spiritual energy. I haven't detected any barrier on it."

Chen Tianming nodded.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for telling me this."

"And I can give you a free piece of information: this ring shows signs of previous use, so someone must have stored things inside. However, I only did a rough check for you and didn't open it. You'll need to identify what's inside yourself."

This time, Wan Yue was truly going back.

Chen Tianming held the ring, examining it carefully, an indescribable subtlety in his heart.

What exactly was inside? Was it treasure, or had a predecessor dug a big pit for him?

Chen Tianming pondered in his mind, and finally, with a hardened heart, decided to open the item and see.

Since it was already in his hands, if he didn't even have the courage to open it, wouldn't he be wasting a treasure for nothing?

Soon, Chen Tianming returned to his room and injected a stream of spiritual energy into it.

The ring immediately transformed back into the size of a bracelet. The golden threads coiling around it seemed to come alive, automatically unraveling. The next second, a vast space appeared before Chen Tianming!

"It's actually this big!"

Chen Tianming was astonished, but only for a second. He quickly came back to his senses and immediately entered the space to search. There should be many good things stored inside.

This place was less like a storeroom and more like a study.

Many books and blueprints were displayed and stacked there.

Chen Tianming wandered through it, carefully examining every corner. After thoroughly inspecting the place, a scene flashed through Chen Tianming's mind.

The place he was currently in was almost identical to the study Chen Yun had seen before his rebirth!

Chen Tianming was startled. Could there really be such a coincidence in this world?

He quickly continued his search there, and before long, he actually found a clue!

"Heavenly Shock Hall?"

Chen Tianming memorized the name.

He wasn't interested in things related to sects. Instead, he was quickly drawn to the forging techniques in the corner.

There were many blueprints here, detailing numerous artifact refining methods.

Without much effort, he found a complete set.

It clearly described everything from the initial material selection to how to forge, as if fearing that future generations wouldn't understand.

Chen Tianming felt an itch in his heart as he read it.

"Such good stuff, it would be a waste to miss it. I might as well give it a try."

Chen Tianming had made up his mind.

The next day, after Wan Yue had rested, he would go and talk to her about artifact refining.

Of course, Chen Tianming didn't forget the most important thing. After coming out of this space, he immediately transformed the jade-inlaid gold bracelet back into a ring and put it on his hand, then went to call Chen Yun.

When he heard the name "Heavenly Shock Hall" again, Chen Yun's face turned ashen, and his spiritual energy-filled eyes widened instantly, as if he had fallen into hell!

Seeing his expression, Chen Tianming already had a judgment in his heart.
