Chapter 111
The armguard looked like it belonged to an extremely ancient time .
Ye Chen tried to pull it apart . Interestingly, the armguard was soft yet sturdy . He had an idea – he took out the Hell Rupture Sword from Heaven-Earth Pouch and swung at the armguard . Ding . The armguard remained in its spot but Ye Chen’s right hand, which held the sword trembled a little .
Good stuff! The armguard may be a higher tiered item than the Hell Rupture Sword and the Black Pearl!
Ye Chen was overjoyed . The armguard was a decent Spiritual Treasure with great defense!
Apart from its defense, Ye Chen was sure it contained other special properties .
Ye Chen wondered if he could put it on .
Just as Ye Chen tried to slip it on his left arm, the armguard emitted a blood-red glow . Bong . It felt like a needle was inserted into Ye Chen’s mind . It was like the armguard had a life of its own and it was desperately trying to detach itself from his arm .
It was the Spirit Gem in the armguard!
Most Tier One to tier three Spirit Gems did not possess a consciousness of their own . After Tier Three, however, they began developing one though they were not that intense . It was only after Tier Five that they tend to be overbearing .
Was this armguard a Tier Five Spiritual Treasure?
Spiritual Treasures were rare in this world . One Spiritual Treasure alone could easily be bartered for millions of Chi-amassing Pills . A little clan like the House of Ye could never possibly get their hands on such Spiritual Treasure . Only those important members of bigger clans would ever possess Spiritual Treasure and even then, they were Tier One or Two at best .
Ye Chen had managed to scavenge a Tier One Spiritual Treasure military armor but that armor was on a different level compared to the armguard .
The armguard would not stop struggling . Ye Chen sensed sharp pain in his head . His face was almost pale . He just wanted to toss it away at that point .
Ye Chen finally realized the reason many were fighting over it . It was an extraordinary item! It was a rare and Spirit Gem . If it were not for the strength of Ye Chen’s Astral Body, he would have accidentally damaged his soul and turned into a mentally impaired person .
Squeak, squeak . Little Tanuki anxiously called out a couple of times when it saw Ye Chen in pain . It tried to attack the armguard with its Psyche . Ping . Little Tanuki’s attacks were reflected and it nearly fainted from the recoil .
“I’m going to make you mine, one way or the other!” Ye Chen was furious . He fired The Flying Dagger in the head . Woosh the dagger went . The Spirit Gem in the armguard curled up in terror when it sensed a terrifying presence . Slowly, Ye Chen’s pain seemed to have greatly reduced too .
Ye Chen could sense the armguard on his arm trembling greatly like it was afraid of something . He realized the armguard’s level was far inferior compared to The Flying Dagger . Only, he wondered why the Flying Dagger never had a thing like a Spirit Gem in it too .
Ye Chen would figure that out later . He capitalized on the moment and wrapped the armguard with his Astral Body . Seeping into the armguard, Ye Chen saw a dazzling red light like a fire wisp that was burning brightly . The light seemed to have a mind of its own . Could it be the Spirit Gem of the armguard?
The Astral Body held the red light down . Sensing the pressure from Ye Chen’s Astral Body, the light continued to struggle, trying to break free of the reins . Bang, bang, bang . The Spirit Gem clashed with his Astral Body . Once again, Ye Chen turned pale .
The fight between the soul and spirit was far more terrifying than an actual battle . If Ye Chen made one wrong move, his Astral Body would be injured and that could mean a load of bad things .
Ye Chen still struggled to contain the armguard’s Spirit Gem with his Astral Body!
Ye Chen was frustrated . The Spirit Gem in the armguard was extremely powerful . It looked like only the Flying Dagger could suppress it!
Ye Chen placed a portion of The Flying Dagger’s mind into the armguard . The red light curled up when it sensed the similar presence that brought it fear .
Just as that happened, Ye Chen quickly suppressed it with his Astral Body . After what seemed like a long time, Ye Chen almost felt his Astral Body collapse . Under the pressure from the Flying Dagger, the red light struggled less and eventually stopped moving at all .
Ye Chen moved his arm . It was light now with no resistance whatsoever . If one did not look closely, they could not tell there was an armguard on his left arm . Even the Hell Rupture Sword did not leave a dent on it . It deflected the impact of the swing like it was nothing more than a tickle .
Ye Chen was familiar with the sword’s power . Perhaps the tier of the Hell Rupture Sword was lower than the armguard .
Great stuff! A great design to boot too!
A glow flashed across the armguard . Like blood that coursed through human veins, it established a link to Ye Chen, attaching itself to his left arm . With the armguard on him, Ye Chen could not wait to put it to use in battles to see what it was capable of!
Ye Chen was a little curious and inserted his mind into the armguard . There was a large space in it, about a few hundred feet wide and there were ten, intricately carved metal shelves . He scanned the metal shelves with his mind . There were various medicinal herbs placed on the shelves, some rare and some common . There were at least a million types, some that he could not even recognize . Just the scent of the herbs alone made him excited . There was a large refining furnace in the center, about the height of two people combined . It looked like it was made from a certain type of metal . It was black and images of various fire elemental Mystical Beasts were painted on it . It was as if the furnace was created right in the armguard and could not be moved .
There was also a bookshelf at the corner with ten types of books arranged together . Ye Chen flipped through one of them casually . The book was detailing the art of producing medicinal pills . Some were about the use of different types of herbs, the growing requirements, and methods to care for it . Then, there were others that detailed the lifelong journey of the armguard’s owner . Ye Chen could not understand some of the books as they were much more difficult to comprehend compared to the Grand Supreme Way of Alchemy . The thing about Alchemy was that apart from reading books about it, one had to experiment with it . As such, Ye Chen could not understand the contents in the book given he had never produced medicinal pills before .
The armguard’s owner must have been an apothecary!
Even if Ye Chen did not pursue the art of Alchemy, just the herbs in the armguard granted him a large amount of wealth . Selling it would garner him massive amounts of Chi-amassing Pill and Chi-deposition Pills . If the possession in the armguard could not allow Ye Chen to conquer other countries, it would still make him ridiculously rich . Of course, the herbs were too valuable for Ye Chen to even consider selling it . Once he had learned the art of Alchemy, he would use it for himself .
Words could not describe Ye Chen’s joy . No one would have expected the Sunken Jade Tower to contain such an item . Just imagine what the reactions of the Three Major Sect members would be if they knew about this!
