Chapter 396: Dragon Ruby Ring
Chapter 396: Dragon Ruby Ring
“Brother Yuan, what about that Earth-grade treasure that looks like a fan? Yu Rou uses a fan, right? It might fit her.” Xiao Hua was the first to give him advice.
‘That fan, huh?’
Hearing that, Yuan went to look at the treasure again.
[Dragon Fan]
[Grade: Earth]
[Quality: High]
[Physical Strength required: 5,000]
[Mental Strength required: 10,000]
[Description: 150% increased damage. Lowers the cost of Qi for all techniques when using this weapon by 30%]
“Indeed, this might be the perfect treasure for Yu Rou. Thanks, Xiao Hua.”
He then turned to look at Long Yijun standing at the entrance and said, “Sect Master, for my first pick, I want this Dragon Fan.”
“Dragon Fan?” Long Yijun raised his eyebrows.
He was puzzled as to why Yuan would pick such an uncommon weapon. Does he use the fan as well as the sword and dagger?
“If that’s your choice, go ahead and take it. The Dragon Fan has been sitting in this vault for many years now because nobody really uses the fan nowadays.” Long Yijun said a moment later.
“Really? Why?” Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
“Well, most cultivators view the fan that is normally small and fragile-looking as a weapon for the weak. Its elegant and graceful appearance also doesn’t help because most cultivators would rather pick something powerful or popular weapons like swords.”
“I see… That makes sense… But my sister likes the fan, so I am getting it for her.”
“You have a sister?” Long Yijun was surprised to hear this for the first time.
“Yes.” He nodded.
“She’s lucky to have a brother like you.” Long Yijun smiled.
“No, it’s the other way around. I am lucky to have a caring sister like her. If not for her, I wouldn’t be here right now.” Yuan said calmly.
“I-Is that so…” Long Yijun was speechless, and he wondered what kind of person she was. After all, the sister of such a genius surely must be quite the genius herself.
After picking the first treasure, Yuan continued to look around.
“What about Meixiu? What kind of treasure would fit her?” Yuan asked the experts.
Unfortunately, none of them knew Meixiu enough.
“Young Master, we don’t know much about Meixiu. You should know what she wants much better than us.” Feng Yuxiang said to him.
“While it is true that I have known her for a very long time, I don’t actually know her very well, as she’s usually very silent in the way that she doesn’t talk much about her own desires.”
Because Meixiu was trained to be a servant, even if Yuan asked her what she wanted, she probably wouldn’t be able to answer him.
After all, as a professional servant, Meixiu was only taught to care for her masters, not herself.
“Guess I will look around one more time…” Yuan mumbled to himself as he walked around the vault for the third time.
“Hmm?”
Yuan suddenly stopped at the end of the room when he noticed a red flicker in the corner of his eyes.
He approached this red light to see a silver ring with a red crystal sitting inside a small red box.
[Dragon Ruby Ring]
[Grade: Heaven]
[Quality: Medium]
[Description: Increases the user’s base Mental Strength and Mental Defense by 30 percent. 50,000 increase limit.]
“Sect Master, I think I want to choose this ring for my second treasure,” Yuan said to him, feeling a strong urge to take this ring that he had somehow managed to miss two times.
“Oh, the Dragon Ruby Ring? It will greatly boost one’s mental strength and defenses. It’s a great treasure that even has a legend behind it according to the expert that appraised it.”
“Legend? What kind?” Yuan asked, his interest piqued.
“Well, legend has it that it once belonged to the Royal Family of a certain Dragon Clan, and that red crystal was forged with a drop of dragon’s blood, hence the red color despite that type of material not existing in red.”
“Oh, it was also found by the Founder when he ventured inside the Dragon Temple. In fact, most of these treasures were found inside the Dragon Temple.” Long Yijun said.
“The Dragon Temple, huh? My anticipation for that place just went up even more!” Yuan said.
“Yes, look forward to it when you enter in four days.” Long Yijun said with a smile.
A few moments later, Yuan returned to look for the third treasure.
‘Both Meixiu and Yu Rou have a treasure now, but I still have one treasure to pick. What should I pick?’ Yuan wondered inwardly.
He then asked the experts, “Do any of you want something from this place?”
“Xiao Hua doesn’t need anything.” Xiao Hua said.
“I also don’t need anything, but thank you for the offer, Young Master.” Feng Yuxiand said.
“What about you, Yingying?”
“I am also fine without anything,” she said.
Suddenly, Long Yijun said, “If you cannot pick your last treasure, may I give you a recommendation?”
“Okay.” Yuan nodded.
Long Yijun then went to pick a treasure and showed it to Yuan.
“You have Soul Weapons, right? This bottle right here contains a special liquid called ‘Soul Liquid’. If you pour some of it on your Soul Weapons, it will increase its growth rate until it levels up.”
“Oh, this does sound quite useful,” Yuan said.
“Okay, I will choose this as my third treasure. Thank you, Sect Master.” Yuan said to him.
“Haha… I should be thanking you, Disciple Yuan.” Long Yijun laughed.
“Anyways, I will contact you in four days when the Dragon Temple is ready. Until then, you can do whatever you want.”
Sometime later, Yuan left the Treasury Hall and returned to his own living quarters, where Meixiu and Min Li were waiting.
“Meixiu, here’s a treasure I picked for you.” Yuan immediately handed her the Dragon Ruby Ring.
“T-Thank you…” Meixiu was at a loss for words when Yuan suddenly handed her a ring, as it felt like he was proposing to her.
