After the two jades disappeared into light fragments, then his gaze fell upon the last item – The ring. He took it looked at it from all angle, "is this a storage ring". He injected his qi into the ring. No reaction, waves it no reaction. He tried all the means he knew.
"Oh is it like other artifacts that need a drop of blood?" He didn't hesitate, he bit his finger then let the blood drop onto the ring.
In the next moment, the ring reacted strongly and he felt a connection being formed immediately. The name entered his mind instinctively, Veiled ring. A saint grade artifact. It has only two functions.
It can serve as a storage ring to living and non living beings.
It can help camouflage the cultivation of the owner to any Cultivation level below their original cultivation stage. "Wow this is so good"
"now I don't have to be finding ways to explain to anybody what happened now". He felt that this ring is exactly what he needed right now. He began testing it. He wore it on his finger and decided to probe the inside of it. "Holy ?" "what is all these". He could see vast amount of shiny round spherical object. "ARE these all spirit
stones". He immediately summoned one. The moment it touched his fingers he could feel the massive amount of qi inside it. "Wait this isn't correct the spirit stone I saw once didn't have this much spirit qi. This one is about 10 times of that one". Then he summoned one that looked less shiny than the one he took out. "Yes this one looks exactly like that one" "So this must be a low grade spirit stone, while this one," he said with excitement while looking at the first one "must be an
middle grade spirit stone". He couldn't contain the excitement in his voice as he roughly counted the middle grade spirit stones to be numb- bered at least 10,000 and then, low grade spirit stones numbered at least 3 million. If he remembers correctly the spirit stone ratio is 1:100
1 middle grade stone is worth one hundred
low grade spirit stones. And up to numbers
Current even in he yuan city the number
of people that own a middle grade spirit
stone can be counted on one hand
"I might be the richest in hei yuan city
for now." Then made if convinced
He has about 6 million low grade spirit
stones even the lu clan doesn't have
up to that. Then he decided "Let me
check the second ability". It felt
instinctive, the moment he decided
to change his cultivation level, it
changed immediately. The aura, the
feeling it was different. He changed
his cultivation back to 5th layer of
qi condensation. "Wow this ring is
very useful."
It is a saint artifact
He was still checking the ring when the space around him started to crack.
"What is happening?" It started to crack even more, then he felt his whole body being pulled again, just like the first time he was pulled into the space in the first place. In the next moment, he felt as if he was falling from a height.
"Ouch!"
He opened his eyes. "Uhh… I have returned."
The whole storeroom was still in place. The weapons he scattered were still where he left them.
"Ohh, this blood stain is still wet." He saw that the blood he left on the blade before he left was still stained with his blood.
"No way," he said while thinking about everything. "I think I spent at least three to four months in there."
Afraid that he might have been dreaming, he quickly checked for the stone slab. "Or is—"
He spotted it just right behind him.
"It broke."
The stone slab had already broken into four pieces, looking like an ordinary stone.
Stone—
He then checked his cultivation and the ring.
"So I was not dreaming. I really did enter that space."
His cultivation level was still the same. Then he checked the ring's ability to alter his cultivation level. It changed to the 6th layer.
"OK, I was definitely not dreaming."
"But I can't appear with this 6th layer yet. How do I explain it to the elders?"
Then he decided to change it back to the 5th layer. His ring suppressed everything about him, and his aura changed.
He looked at the storeroom, then decided to clean it to remove traces of anything that had happened. After he finished, he looked at the room once more to see if he left anything behind.
"But come to think of it… how did this stone slab appear here?"
He didn't dwell on it much.
He went out of the door and saw that the sky had changed.
When he got to the gate of the ancestral building, he spotted the guard.
"Sir? Are you done?" the guard asked.
"What?" Lu Haotian looked confused.
"Are you done cleaning, or did you just leave it like that?"
"I'm done," Lu Haotian said.
"Ok, that's good. You can go back to your quarters."
Lu Haotian left, still confused. Then he remembered that even the blade was still stained with his blood.
"Could it be that time didn't move at all while I was in that place?" he muttered, then decided to think it through later.
"Incredible! This is very good," he exclaimed softly. He was now inside his room.
"So all the months I spent in there… everything remained the same in reality and time never moved ."
