"I collect all the Radiant Gold Cores that drop during battles! That's why I have so many!" Jiang Yuan didn't feel ashamed of hoarding them; in fact, Xu Feng and the others had taken advantage of him.
First, he and Ning Yanlan killed the vast majority of the monsters; second, the reason so many cores were dropped was because of Jiang Yuan. Without Jiang Yuan, the core drop rate would be less than one in ten.
Therefore, he rightfully occupies the core position.
"It seems we have a better chance of getting into the South City!" Ning Yanlan said with a smile.
These many cores will greatly increase the strength of the two of them. Once their strength exceeds the third level, they can take the main road into the South City without having to travel over mountains and valleys to take the side roads.
“Let’s activate the core!” Jiang Yuan said.
All the hard work of the night was for this moment, it would be a lie to say I wasn't excited.
"Same as always, you open the core and I'll open the treasure chest!" Ning Yanlan was eager to try, and the sense of mystery that opening the treasure chest brought her was quite enjoyable.
"Which ones should we open first?" Jiang Yuan had organized all the cores, and the cores laid out in front of the two of them were easy to see at a glance.
There are a total of fourteen Black Iron Cores: eight of the first tier and six of the second tier.
There are a total of five Mithril Cores: three Tier 1, one Tier 2, and one Tier 3.
There are four Radiant Gold Cores in total: two of the first tier, one of the second tier, and one of the third tier.
Of course, the most important crystal core cannot be excluded either.
“Now that we’re stronger, we can keep some Black Iron Cores. Cores are the most valuable items in the apocalypse. When we get to Nancheng, we can use the cores to exchange for some necessary supplies!” Ning Yanlan suggested.
"How many should we keep?" Jiang Yuan glanced at the fourteen black iron cores on the ground. As he spoke, he was already using his Heavenly Eye to identify the items inside the cores.
"Keep ten Black Iron Cores: six Tier 1 and four Tier 2. Mithril and Radiant Gold are extremely rare and valuable, so we'll keep them for ourselves!" Ning Yanlan said.
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then took out the six cores containing unknown items from the black iron core. "Open six! Three of each of the first and second tiers! What do you think!"
"I'll listen to you!" Ning Yanlan nodded, but her expression changed after she nodded. However, she quickly hid the pain in her expression, and Jiang Yuan, who was immersed in the Heavenly Eye's identification, did not notice anything unusual.
Jiang Yuan chose six because these six cores contain unknown items with an extremely low probability. However, the low probability is not a big problem for him, as the Balance Messenger's passive ability makes all beings equal.
The six cores were activated almost simultaneously. Jiang Yuan didn't use the treasure hunting positioning; he left whatever he got to fate.
As Ning Yanlan said, with their increased strength, the items that can be obtained from the Black Iron Core are no longer enough for them. Unless he can use the treasure-hunting location at will, he might consider opening the Black Iron Core himself. After all, there are still unknown items in the Black Iron Core, and unknown items represent opportunities. Even if he becomes stronger, he cannot ignore these opportunities.
Clang clang clang, the six cores transformed into a large box, emitting a dark gray light.
"Yanlan, it's your turn!" Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan expectantly.
Ning Yanlan unconsciously pressed her chest down, then walked towards the black iron box.
"Second-tier inner armor, of good quality, can withstand 50% of damage from the same realm; the greater the difference in realm, the weaker the defensive effect!"
"First-tier healing pill, of excellent quality, for treating minor injuries."
"First-tier Wolf Step, good level, can temporarily increase speed when activated."
"The first-tier Spirit Awakening Pill is of exceptional quality and can, to a certain extent, replace the function of the Holy Spirit Stone to achieve the effect of spirit awakening!"
"Third-tier Boar Scepter, excellent quality, amplifies psionic energy by one to forty points."
"The Concealing Breath Technique is of exceptional quality and has no rank. When activated, it can hide one's aura, making it difficult for those without keen senses to detect."
Of the six core items, only the Concealing Breath Technique was an unknown item. Soon, Ning Yanlan took out all six items in turn. It was clear that Ning Yanlan was very happy, but there was a hint of unnaturalness beneath her happy expression.
Jiang Yuan noticed this, and instead of immediately collecting the treasure, he used a detection skill on Ning Yanlan.
"Spirit Race, Second-Tier Psionic Type (Half-Awakened), Psionic Energy: 7, Talent: Spirit Light Shield."
"Physical constitution: Unawakened, bloodline unawakened, cultivation techniques: Ice (awakened) Fire (unawakened), vitality (half-damaged)."
Jiang Yuan was stunned, not only because of Ning Yanlan's increased power, but also because of the vitality of her half-damaged body. He was certain that she hadn't been in this half-damaged state before, meaning that the price Ning Yanlan paid for shattering the Holy Spirit Fortress was the loss of a portion of her vitality.
What is vitality? It is lifespan. If your normal lifespan is one hundred years, but you lose half of that, it becomes fifty years. This price is too high for people to bear.
But seeing Ning Yanlan's appearance, Jiang Yuan couldn't bring himself to say it. She clearly didn't want him to know; she was afraid he would feel uneasy.
In the end, Jiang Yuan didn't say anything. He didn't want Ning Yanlan's good intentions to be in vain, so he pretended not to know. He just appreciated her kindness!
"Come quick! There's a third-tier scepter!"
