A little over a week later, Li Yihang, the city bureau chief of Base 116, and Yan Feng, the current captain of the first team, personally came to the seventh branch.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang and his party explained their purpose.
They brought rewards for Lu Ning and Ke Qing's contributions.
The Soul Crystals, like before, are stored at the headquarters of the Mist Bureau, and can be retrieved at any time if needed.
Lu Ning is currently focusing his energy on refining the spiritual pollution source of the flesh and blood source, so he doesn't need to use soul crystals for the time being.
The two medium-risk soul artifacts and two one-time high-risk dangerous items that Lu Ning rewarded him with were delivered to Lu Ning's hands.
Two of the medium-danger level soul artifacts are a dark black ring and a pale pocket watch.
"These two soul artifacts were chosen based on your own requirements, Lu Ning."
"The ring is called the Ring of Slaughter. Once activated, it can form a set of black armor on your body, comprehensively enhancing your physical strength and making you more lucid."
"However, the longer you use it, the more independent the armor will gradually develop its own consciousness. Eventually, it will devour your consciousness, become your master, and turn you into a killing machine."
"This bone pocket watch is a soul artifact involving space and time. After being activated with mental power, it can lock onto a target, greatly reduce the target's movement speed, and may even completely imprison the target."
"However, the price of using this Horcrux is the random loss of a part of your body. If you're lucky, it might be a hair; if you're unlucky, it might cause you to lose your brain."
Li Yihang's introduction caused everyone to gasp in shock, staring at the bone pocket watch with horrified expressions.
"This thing is too dangerous! Does that mean it will kill you after just one use? Such a side effect is actually on a mid-level dangerous soul weapon?" Li Mu said in disbelief.
Yan Feng shrugged: "This is a mid-level dangerous soul artifact sent by the General Administration. Anyway, the side effects are just that big. According to the materials provided by the General Administration, none of its previous owners are still alive. The unluckiest one lost his own heart."
Everyone: "..."
While everyone remained silent, Lu Ning calmly said, "It's no problem for me. If I lose my brain, I can grow a new one."
Everyone silently turned to look at Lu Ning, their expressions somewhat strange.
Li Yihang nodded seriously and said, "I think the General Administration must have thought of this situation, which is why they awarded this bone pocket watch to you, Lu Ning. Perhaps you are the most suitable person to use this soul weapon."
The others nodded with envy.
Indeed, only immortals can use such Horcruxes.
“If Lu Ning uses it, the upper limit of this soul weapon might be even higher, perhaps even reaching the level of a high-risk soul weapon?” Colin couldn’t help but smile.
The others nodded silently.
"Perhaps," Li Yihang said without refuting.
Lu Ning put on the dark black ring directly.
After putting on the ring, Lu Ning did not sense any movement from the ring trying to replace him because he did not activate it with his mental power.
However, because it hasn't been activated, the ring is currently providing very little improvement to Lu Ning's physical body.
As for the bone pocket watch, it was connected by a pale bone chain, which Lu Ning hung directly around his neck so that he wouldn't have to worry about losing it.
Currently, Lu Ning possesses six soul weapons.
This includes the Flameblade, the Red Rose and the White Rose, the Crimson Sword, the Killing Ring, and the Bone Pocket Watch.
Unfortunately, the Flame Blade, Red Rose, and White Rose are all low-risk soul weapons.
In terms of Lu Ning's current combat situation, it is no longer of much use.
The Flame Blade, in particular, is now completely in conflict with the Crimson Sword.
As for red roses and white roses, they can currently only be used for long-range attacks, which is merely icing on the cake.
The other three soul artifacts are very useful to Lu Ning, as they can greatly enhance his combat power.
Afterwards, Li and his party took out two more disposable high-risk dangerous items.
One of the two dangerous items is a crystal that contains a golden light inside.
The crystal feels warm to the touch, and the golden light inside keeps twisting and turning.
In Lu Ning's vision, it was almost impossible to see the spiritual pollution escaping, but the white mist in the golden light was extremely dense.
"This is a fragment seized from the Sun God Cult. It contains extremely powerful solar energy. You can release it directly at the target using your mental power, and its power is immense. However, when you release this thing, you will also attract the attention of the evil god behind the Sun God Cult, and you might be burned to ashes by the sunlight falling from the sky." Li Yihang explained the purpose and origin of the golden crystal in Lu Ning's hand.
This explanation caused the others to silently look away.
It will attract the attention of evil gods... In the hands of an ordinary awakened person, this thing is simply something that will lead to mutual destruction.
Even with Lu Ning in charge, Colin and the others still had some concerns.
Qiu Yuelin asked, "Brother Lu Ning, if you were burned to ashes, could you be resurrected?"
Lu Ning thought for a moment, then said, "I haven't tried it, but I think I should be able to."
Hearing Lu Ning say that, Colin and the others felt inexplicably more at ease.
"That's good. If you think it's okay, then it should be fine," Li Mu nodded.
Ke Qing, Yan Feng, and the newly arrived Ai Ha and the others were completely bewildered.
Yan Feng was somewhat puzzled: "No... why does Lu Ning think he's fine just because he thinks he's okay? He's never been burned to ashes."
Colin shook his head: "You don't understand. Anyway, when Lu Ning feels okay, it turns out he really is okay. Sometimes I wonder if Lu Ning has the ability to make his words come true or something..."
As he spoke, Colin couldn't help but laugh: "Just kidding. I think Lu Ning should have some subconscious understanding of his own abilities, which is why he felt there was no problem, right?"
Upon hearing Colin's words, the group exchanged bewildered glances.
Li Yihang didn't say much on this topic either.
He then took out a pale, bloodshot eyeball and handed it to Lu Ning.
"This is a sacrificial item obtained from the Moon Goddess Cult. Although I don't know why it's an eyeball, according to the General Administration, this thing contains the divine power of the evil god behind the Moon Goddess Cult. After activating it with mental power, unexpected things might happen, and its power will definitely reach the high-risk level."
Upon seeing the eyeball, Li Mu frowned and said with some apprehension, "I don't know why, but seeing this eye always makes me feel uneasy."
Colin and the others looked at Li Mu with some confusion.
Colin thought for a moment and said, "Is it because your abilities are similar?"
Li Mu shook his head: "I don't know."
Lu Ning paid no attention to Colin and the others' conversation. He examined the eyeball and saw a moon deep within it.
The moon, situated in the void shrouded in white mist, emitted a cool, clear light and was covered with countless eyeballs.
These eyes were now silently watching Lu Ning.
