139 The Realm of Inside Job (Part 2)
Fang Jinyu asked, “Then are you planning to stay outside?”
“Yes!” As the little girl spoke, she suddenly thought of something. She quickly grabbed something in the air, and something appeared in her fair and tender palm. “Oh, right! I have something good for you. You won’t be able to use it, but the little girl Ah Lan should be fine.”
Fang Jinyu’s gaze was strange.
It was because the thing Qing Fu took out was a spirit herb that looked like a jellyfish. Its roots and stems were the same, making it extremely difficult to distinguish. Moreover, there was a faint, magical light flashing inside.
The Cloudy Jellyfish Grass was an extremely rare but extremely useless heavenly material. According to the nine grades of spiritual items, it was enough to be rated as a seventh-grade heavenly material.
It was thought to be useless because only mortals could eat this particular type of spirit herb.
A mortal without a spiritual root could obtain one at random after consuming the Cloudy Jellyfish Grass. The only flaw was that, although it could still be called a Tianling spiritual root, its quality was very low. If one could reach C+, one was already considered lucky!
It was because there was a high chance that one’s spiritual roots’ talent would be below grade C.
It could be said to be the most trashy single-attribute spiritual root.
However, the preciousness of the Cloudy Jellyfish Grass wasn’t the reason why Fang Jinyu’s expression was strange. He couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you get this Cloudy Jellyfish Grass?”
Qing Fu said while smiling, “I get it from the fake cultivator you mentioned!”
Fang Jinyu was stunned and asked, “You’re capable of stealing it?!”
Fang Jinyu thought, “Although she is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, she can’t be so ridiculous, right?”
After all, the other party placed it in the “storage ring!”
Oh, the storage ring? Then it was fine.
The “mystery realm,” a top-secret technique developed by Qing Fu, was stronger than the spatial storage device made by using a special spiritual item.
“No, I took it!” Qing Fu argued, “She placed it in a small room in the space without a door. That means it’s ownerless! So whoever takes it will get it!”
After saying it, as if she was afraid that Fang Jinyu wouldn’t believe her, she widened her big eyes and added with a serious expression, “All the small rooms in the space are like this. And the people who created these small spatial houses all did the same. I’m just learning from them!”
Fang Jinyu was stunned when he heard the little girl make herself unrelated to the situation with just a few words. It was because the information about the “small spatial houses” wasn’t small. Afterward, he took out a “storage ring,” looked at Qing Fu, and asked in disbelief, “Is this the small spatial house you mentioned?”
It was a spiritual “storage ring.” It was also the highest-grade “storage ring” in the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City. It had reached the level of a middle-grade spirit tool.
Fang Jinyu was very satisfied with the space inside.
It was because it was a hundred times bigger than the “mystery realm!”
However, Fang Jinyu felt that after listening to the little girl’s words, why did the “storage ring” sound like it was full of hidden dangers?
“That’s right!”
Qing Fu nodded her little head and said with a proud expression, “Although the people who created these small spatial houses are very powerful, they aren’t as powerful as me. The concealment and defense of my ‘mystery realm’ are tens of thousands of times stronger than theirs! Even those who were proficient in it wouldn’t be able to forcefully open the ‘mystery realm!’ Hmph!”
The little girl was smug.
Fang Jinyu’s eyes couldn’t help but flash. No wonder such a magical item like the “storage ring” was so widespread. Even the Qi Condensation stage cultivators could get one for themselves.
After all, no matter what, it could be called a magical object! It was normal for cultivators with high cultivation bases to have it, but what about cultivators with low-cultivation bases?
How could something that involved space be so common?
But now, Fang Jinyu understood that, in the end, someone wanted the cultivators of the world to help him “stock things up!”
After all, if a cultivator really obtained a rare treasure in the world and it mysteriously disappeared, they would most likely not say anything. They would only suspect that someone around them had stolen it.
Even if he were alone, he would probably only suspect that some senior expert had already set his eyes on him. Afterward, he would be glad that the other party wasn’t bloodthirsty and only took the item and left. He would even think that the other party was a “polite thief!”
There were even some who were used to being muddleheaded. They would even think that they had lost it or that they had never gotten it in the first place.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu began to rejoice.
The precious items on Fang Jinyu were still placed in the “mystery realm” as usual.
Although Fang Jinyu’s “mystery realm” wasn’t safe either, at least someone would know about it, which was better than the unknown of the “storage ring!” After all, it would be easy to find a suspect if his things really disappeared.
However, if the things in the “storage ring” were gone, Fang Jinyu couldn’t even find the culprit!
Moreover, Fang Jinyu didn’t dare look for it.
Those people were not as easy as Qing Fu!
Hence, Fang Jinyu smiled and went up to Qing Fu. He asked softly, “Then can you go and look for something? I remember that she has a secret technique that is related to fate.”
Now that there was a ready-made method to obtain it, Fang Jinyu naturally wanted to take a shortcut.
The little girl hesitated and said, “But I can only enter each small spatial house once! Otherwise, I will be discovered by the people who created them!”
When Fang Jinyu heard it, he could only give up on this idea. Then, he thought about it and cut off his connection with the Green Phoenix Scissors.
“Qing Fu, this magic treasure is yours from now on.”
The Green Phoenix Scissors weren’t compatible with Fang Jinyu’s spiritual roots. Previously, since he hadn’t fully cultivated the lightning-attribute mountain, he still needed it. But now that he had the lightning-attribute mountain magic treasure, and his cultivation base didn’t allow him to use both magic treasures, he might as well give it to the little girl.
It just so happened that the treasure that Fang Jinyu’s “Senior Brother Meng” had underestimated could now unleash its true power in the little girl’s hands!
The moment the Green Phoenix Scissors appeared, they were about to leave because they weren’t compatible with Fang Jinyu’s spiritual roots. After all, such a magic treasure born from heaven and earth was very picky about its owner!
However, just as the Green Phoenix Scissors entered the void, they were gently grabbed by a small hand and held directly in her hand.
“It’s so beautiful! Thank you, Mother!” Qing Fu beamed with joy, and her small mouth looked as if it had been smeared with honey. Afterward, she taught Fang Jinyu another secret technique since she was happy.
Only then did Fang Jinyu understand why Qing Fu’s secret techniques, such as “I’m good at hiding,” had become so powerful.
It wasn’t just because Fang Jinyu didn’t cultivate it to perfection.
[Secret skill, Qing Fu is so powerful!]
[Function: After cultivating it, the power of other secret techniques of the “Qing Fu series” will increase by hundreds to tens of thousands of times.]
[Cultivation requirements: 10 secret techniques of the “Qing Fu series” need to be cultivated to perfection.]
“Did the little girl not do it on purpose?”
Fang Jinyu recalled the contents of the secret technique, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Not to mention the ten perfected secret techniques, he had only learned four secret techniques from the little girl, which were “I’m good at hiding,” opening up the “mystery realm,” “I guess you can’t hit me,” and “I eat a lot, but I’m super strong.”
Among them, Fang Jinyu only cultivated “I eat a lot, but I’m super strong” at the beginner stage.
It wasn’t that Fang Jinyu didn’t work hard. In the past three years, other than making and selling talismans, he had also cultivated the secret technique, but the effects were minimal.
The secret technique was fine at the start of cultivation, but it became extremely difficult with every small step of improvement.
As a result, Fang Jinyu’s current weapon-physique fusion only targets low-grade spirit tools at most.
It was all thanks to his gains from the system.
Otherwise, Fang Jinyu might not have gained anything from cultivating until now.
It could only be said that it was too difficult to pry into fate!
“Forget it. I’ll improve my cultivation first.”
In the past three years, Fang Jinyu hadn’t cultivated. However, to comprehend the lightning spell, he had taken the initiative to stop after cultivating to the peak of rank 2 in the Core Formation stage.
Although the lightning spell was a cultivation technique above the high-grade spells, its difficulty was less than Qing Fu’s secret technique.
After cultivating for several nights, Fang Jinyu’s cultivation of the lightning spell before rank 4 in the Core Formation stage was already unimpeded.
Two hours later, Fang Jinyu didn’t rely on elixirs or spirit stones. He only relied on circulating the spell and naturally broke through.
Fang Jinyu was now a cultivator who ranked 3 in the Core Formation stage!
