The level 6 Dark Demon Tree King dropped a lot of items from its treasure chests. Besides the usual materials, there were three other items that were quite valuable.
The first item is the bloodline crystal, but this is the bloodline crystal of the Demon Tree Clan. This type of bloodline crystal can also summon a Demon Tree, but it is not easy to control. After all, it belongs to the lineage of dark creatures and generally needs to be modified by the Lord's talent before it can be used.
Therefore, although such bloodline crystals are rare, they are not very valuable, and few lords would choose to use them.
Fortunately, Ye Chen's talent was enough to modify the bloodline crystal of the Dark Demon Tree, but it was unknown what kind of primordial race it would transform into.
Besides the bloodline crystal of the Dark Demon Tree, the other item was the blueprint for a lord's mansion, and it was even a blueprint for a mid-level lord's mansion.
This blueprint is of no use to Ye Chen and the others for the time being, but once they leave the trial space, such a blueprint can be sold for a high price. A mid-level lord's mansion, regardless of its attributes, is destined to become a hot commodity.
Even if they keep them and don't sell them, they can use them themselves after Ye Chen and the others advance to the 4th rank.
Besides these two items, what truly piqued everyone's interest was the third item: a fist-sized, five-colored, transparent gemstone. Under normal circumstances, it might have been treated as an ordinary gemstone.
However, when Ye Chen and the others checked its attributes, they were truly shocked to find that it was actually a refresh stone.
"My God, we've struck it rich!" the fat man exclaimed, looking at the small diamond with awe.
"It seems like it's been over a hundred years since the Refresh Stone was last seen outside, right? At least it hasn't appeared at any auctions in the Myriad Things Pavilion! This is truly a priceless treasure!" Si Meng exclaimed in amazement, shocked by the appearance of the Refresh Stone.
"It seems that the Refresh Stone has only appeared six times in history, right? Each time it brought about earth-shattering changes to the entire lord faction!" Jian Mengyi exclaimed, recalling the great achievements of the Refresh Stone as she looked back on the history she knew.
"Yes, it first appeared during the enlightenment stage of the Lord Era. It directly refreshed the lifespan of a mermaid, not only saving her from an imminent death, but also giving her enough lifespan to grow to the final god level. She was also the first god-level unit to be born in the history of Blue Star."
Ye Chen spoke, and everyone nodded in agreement. Si Meng then continued speaking.
"That's right. The second appearance was not long after. At that time, the mermaids had not yet become gods. Many people thought it was just a simple effect of refreshing lifespan. However, that lord took a different approach and directly refreshed the growth rate of his clan. As a result, the newly refreshed growth rate was difficult to increase. It is said that it has only completed one growth so far. But even so, he still became a god."
"The third and fourth refresh stones were tried by the lords and achieved great success. It wasn't until the fifth refresh stone appeared that the lords used it to refresh the exchange items for the Inheritance Stones. Only then did everyone discover the best use for the Inheritance Stones."
"On the sixth occasion, that lord went to the Azeroth plane, which had the deepest foundation at the time, and used the refresh stone to refresh the exchange items of that plane, greatly increasing the strength of all the lords. He himself became the plane king of the Azeroth plane in one fell swoop!"
Just hearing Si Meng speak, everyone felt a surge of excitement. The unassuming diamond before them was actually a rare gem that had only appeared a handful of times in history—it was a dream come true.
"However, those six times were only announced. There were two more times when the refresh stone was released, but they were not announced!" Si Meng suddenly spoke up again, which surprised everyone. Everyone turned to look at her and saw that she had a solemn expression on her face.
"In the Tower of All Things, I have dabbled in all kinds of rare treasures, including the Refresh Stone. It has appeared twice, but instead of bringing great growth to humanity, it has caused considerable disaster. You should have heard of the most recent one, the god-level dark creature Airima."
“Ayrima!” Jian Mengyi exclaimed in surprise. Compared to Ye Chen and the fat man, who both looked bewildered, she clearly knew more.
“Airimar is a newly emerged god-level dark creature in the last hundred years, and it is more powerful than many older dark creatures. This news is unknown to ordinary people on Blue Star; it only circulates among the lords!” Seeing the two's confused expressions, Jian Mengyi explained, “It’s just that I didn’t expect that the birth of Airimar would be caused by the Refresh Stone!”
"In fact, the refresh stone itself is also very attractive to dark creatures. The lords who obtained the refresh stone have basically suffered from the dark beast tide. It's just a pity that this lord's territory was greatly weakened at the time, and he was isolated and helpless in the outside world. That's why the dark creatures took advantage of the situation and he was completely overrun! Otherwise, humanity would have gained another pure land!" Simeng said with a hint of regret.
Ye Chen and the fat man were shocked. They never expected that obtaining the refresh stone would still pose such a great risk.
"Shouldn't we use this refresh stone immediately?" the fat man asked with a worried look. Otherwise, how could they, as a few new lords, possibly withstand the impending dark beast tide?
"We probably don't need to. The trial space is protected by rules, and after we go out, we'll be in some relatively safe planes with veteran lords guarding the outside world. So we don't need to worry about the arrival of the dark beast tide. But it's still better to use it as soon as possible!" Si Meng said after thinking for a moment.
"But using it now would be too wasteful, wouldn't it? Putting aside everything else, even if we refresh the exchange items in the Inheritance Stone Tablet, we don't have enough merit points to exchange for them right now. Wouldn't that just be giving it away to others for nothing?" Ye Chen frowned and said.
The refresh stone can refresh the Inheritance Stone Tablet, and the refreshed exchange items can be exchanged by all lords. These few new lords have no merits, so refreshing it will only benefit others.
"Damn, this is so unfair! Why didn't the refresh stone appear later? What's the use of it appearing now?" the fat man cursed, looking at the refresh stone in Ye Chen's hand with a headache.
"Who knows what will happen? And this should be the first refresh stone to appear in the trial space, right? Who would have thought that this thing would fall into the hands of a group of new lords?" Si Meng shrugged helplessly. She didn't have any good solutions to this situation!
"I feel like we probably can't leave the trial space with this refresh stone. Otherwise, if a dark beast tide suddenly appears outside, it's obvious that we took something good with us!" Jian Mengyi pinched her brow, feeling a headache coming on.
Ye Chen, who was deep in thought, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Perhaps, we could use it?"
