"I don't know, anyway, I found the egg in that pile of minced meat. I don't know what kind of creature it was!" Ning Yanlan said that she was unaware of the situation. Half an hour had passed since she found Jiang Yuan, and she was unsure what had happened in that time.
Jiang Yuan suspiciously examined the egg in front of him with his Heavenly Eye.
"Child body: A special holy spirit that is transformed after the mother body absorbs offspring."
“Holy Spirit Beast (Pseudo), Rank: None, Talent: None”
Jiang Yuan stared blankly at the two eggs for a long time before saying in an incredulous tone, "Yanlan, do you remember what the data on the USB drive said about the monster eventually evolving into?"
After listening for a moment, Ning Yanlan said, "The monster will eventually become one of the Holy Spirit Beasts!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, pointing to the two eggs and saying, "These two eggs are ahead of those monsters by more than half their lifespan!"
"A Holy Spirit Beast?" Ning Yanlan asked, full of questions.
“Yes!” Jiang Yuan nodded.
"No wonder I couldn't put them into my storage ring!" Ning Yanlan suddenly realized that living things cannot be stored in a storage ring, which is why she carried the two eggs in her bag.
"Let's leave this egg for now!" Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on the core. "As for the core, I think we can open it later!"
Ning Yanlan had no objections, even though they had two seventh-tier Holy Spirit Stones, which was enough to open the mithril core.
"And this storage ring!" Jiang Yuan pulled out his biggest find of the trip, something he'd taken from Ji Jinghui. "Take a look and see what's inside!"
Ning Yanlan smiled helplessly when she saw the storage ring. Although Jiang Yuan's actions were a bit shameless, she felt very satisfied. "Give it to me!"
Without the ability to activate his spiritual energy, Jiang Yuan couldn't even open the storage ring, so he had to ask Ning Yanlan for help. A moment later, Ning Yanlan looked surprised.
"Wow, this guy is so rich!" Ning Yanlan exclaimed incredulously after seeing the photos.
"Having money is useless; it's better to have Holy Spirit Stones!" Jiang Yuan thought that Ning Yanlan was referring to the money she had before the cataclysm.
"No, that's not true!" Ning Yanlan immediately said, "See for yourself!"
After speaking, the items in the storage ring were emptied one by one, with the most numerous being Holy Spirit Stones.
It has everything from Tier 1 to Tier 6, but there's only one Tier 6 Holy Spirit Stone, and not a single Tier 7 one.
Besides Holy Spirit Stones, there are also a small number of cores. It's normal that cores are scarce, as most people don't carry cores with them and will use them immediately as soon as they get one.
Not everyone possesses a Heavenly Eye like Jiang Yuan, and he doesn't wait until his Heavenly Eye is fully usable after awakening his spiritual power before opening it.
"Jiang Yuan, look at this!" Ning Yanlan took out a book from the clutter, glanced at it, and then her eyes lit up with understanding. "Perhaps I know which family Ji Jinghui belongs to!"
"What kind of family?" Jiang Yuan hadn't been exposed to these things since leaving the Jiang family, so he was a complete novice.
"The Ji family, a fallen ancient martial arts family in Beicheng!" Ning Yanlan shook the book in her hand. "This is an ancient martial arts manual passed down from a thousand years ago!"
"Ancient martial arts?" Jiang Yuan took the book, which was clearly a modernly bound edition, and said weakly, "Isn't this fake a little too obvious?"
"You idiot, they've just passed down ancient martial arts, who told you it's been passed down for thousands of years!" Ning Yanlan glared at Jiang Yuan, her usual quick wit failing her when it came to serious matters.
"That's not right, Ji Jinghui and those people aren't ancient martial arts practitioners!" Jiang Yuan wondered.
“That’s normal, so it means the Ji family has declined!” Ning Yanlan started rummaging through the remaining items.
Look at this!
Ning Yanlan then took out a gourd-shaped jade pendant and said, "This is the Ji family's identity jade token. Although the Ji family has declined, its family rules are still very strict. Every direct descendant carries this kind of jade token!"
"Really?" Jiang Yuan wasn't interested in families with a long tradition.
“When we go down the mountain, Ji Jinghui will definitely come back to cause trouble for us. You can use this jade token to blackmail him!” Ning Yanlan said, hatching a wicked plan.
Jiang Yuan flipped through the ancient martial arts manual in his hand a few times, then said, "I don't think this ancient martial arts family is anything special!"
“After the founding of the country, they no longer relied on ancient martial arts to make their fortunes. The reputation of being an ancient martial arts family is no longer worthy of the name. The ancient martial arts have probably been lost. Otherwise, the Ji family wouldn’t have failed to produce a single ancient martial arts practitioner for so many years!” Ning Yanlan was very knowledgeable about the various families and could explain them in detail once she started.
"Then what's the use of this thing!" Jiang Yuan glanced at the book in his hand and was about to throw it back into the pile of junk when he suddenly had a whimsical idea to scan it with his Heavenly Eye.
"In-depth analysis!"
"The Qingmu Canon (fragment), forged by Shennong, can distinguish hundreds of herbs, smell spiritual fragrances, observe poisons, and enhance the body's activity."
Jiang Yuan was shocked when he heard the appraisal results. Wasn't this ancient martial arts? How could it be identified?
Right, why would he bother with testing if he couldn't identify it?
"Yanlan, who is the heir of the Ji family?" Jiang Yuan immediately sensed that this thing was extraordinary when he heard the name Shennong.
“I haven’t looked into that, but the Ji surname is very ancient, with a prominent background dating back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period!” Ning Yanlan shook her head.
"So this Aoki Dojo really counts as an ancient martial art?" Jiang Yuan was a little confused because the information he obtained from the analysis was rather simple. For example, what does it mean to improve bodily activity?
"Should we cultivate?"
Suddenly, a message popped up on Tianyan, and Jiang Yuan was overjoyed and immediately selected "yes".
Heavenly Eye: "Conditions not met, cultivation impossible!"
"Holy crap!" Jiang Yuan felt an urge to smash the Heavenly Eye. What kind of hints are these if you can't cultivate?!
"Should we register Aoki Nori into the Heavenly Eye System?"
