Chapter 60 The Most Valuable Things

Wei Yuan only pulled his gaze away from those last two words after a long time.

He looked at the treasures of the Ruin surrounding him. This not-so-large room contained the true essence of all the heavens and myriad worlds, with many top-tier treasures and spiritual medicines that were valuable and effective even for powerful individuals approaching the Dao Fruit realm.

And treasures that were truly no less impressive than those on the Turbid World's Ten Great Treasures list.

However, what truly possessed immense value was the content of this letter. The things mentioned within could almost immediately reverse the situation of the entire world: the true authority of [Fate], and the advantages seized by the Ruin Master when competing with [Fate].

Treasures of all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Advance warning of the great calamity.

A path to the pinnacle of the Dao Fruit.

Wei Yuan put the letter away, placing it close to his chest, calming his emotions. For some reason, he felt a complex sense of loss. Steeling himself, he saw Jue and Yao Ji staring blankly at the incredibly terrifying treasure trove outside.

Originally, Jue had thought of clearing it all up herself, but because there were simply too many items, she had pulled in Yao Ji, who was currently healing Canglong. This, in turn, caused another incomparably huge shock to Yao Ji's heart.

"This, this, how can there be so many?!"

"Shouldn't there only be one or two of this level of treasure in the Ruin?"

"Are they buying these by the box here?!"

"Phew… good, good, this one is a little better."

As the little treasurer of Kunlun, Yao Ji felt a faint palpitation in her heart, which she thought had stopped beating a long time ago—it wasn't that her state of mind wasn't good enough, but the sheer quantity of treasures here was simply too exaggerated.

Spiritual objects that were thousands of years old were packed directly into boxes!

Absurd existences like world cores were casually piled into a bottle like glass marbles. The outside of each one was translucent, while the inside resembled flowing flames and galloping lightning.

Jue didn't feel as deeply about these things as Yao Ji did. She pointed to a cabinet on the side and said, "Perhaps it's because the Ruin Master once found spirit fields that were very suitable for these spiritual objects to grow?"

"Mm, I see fewer here."

Yao Ji went over to take a look and immediately recognized them.

"Oh, oh, it's the Nine Heavens Refining Spirit Pill."

"This is a very rare elixir even in the Ruin. It gathers the treasures of different worlds, refines their medicinal properties, and can only be refined in a place like the Ruin, which connects the cores of different worlds."

"An ordinary person can extend their life by three hundred years by eating one."

"It can open all the acupoints and allow the soul to travel by day."

"But that's not its true value. Its value lies in the fact that, regardless of the cultivation school, cultivators below the level of a god can almost instantly advance a realm by refining the medicine."

Yao Ji's expression became serious as she said, word by word, "This also means…"

"As long as a cultivator is approaching the level of a god, or a cultivator in the human world has reached the realm before the Land Immortal, they can instantly break through the barrier and directly reach that level by taking this pill."

"And no matter whether this barrier requires a hundred years, two hundred years, or even a lifetime that cannot be reached even when their lifespan has ended, they can successfully break through within a hundred days after taking the pill."

"Therefore, it is named Nine Heavens, Refining Spirit."

Yao Ji shook her head as she introduced the pill, speaking in her older sister tone:

"Jue, Jue, do you know the value of this?"

"In this world, from ordinary creatures to those who can be called gods, that final hurdle may only be a simple step, but that step may be worlds apart, ridiculously huge. Out of a thousand people who reach the final step, it's already good if one can set foot in the realm of gods."

"In other words, there are far more people who are one step away from the realm of gods than there are gods."

"And with such a pill, a large number of powerful individuals can be created in a short period of time."

"But then again…"

"The Ruin Master was forced to such desperate straits. Surely such pills would have been used up already, right? Hmm? Jue, what are you holding in your hand?"

Yao Ji was showing off her rich experience as an older sister when she saw the girl raise something in her hand. On closer inspection, she saw that it was a ring-like object with spatial fluctuations of a considerable level. Even just holding it in her hand caused layers of ripples to ripple around it.

Yao Ji's expression froze: "???"

"A spatial ring?"

Her brain stalled a bit, causing her face to become dull. She took a deep breath, wanting to calm her mind, but she obviously failed. She still stammered:

"Jue… don't tell me."

"This spatial ring is filled with Nine Heavens Refining Spirit Pills…"

With good luck, Jue shook her head.

This made Yao Ji breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, the girl flicked her finger, the spatial ripples expanded, and a large pile of spatial rings fell to the ground with a crash. Then, she said, "It seems that these rings are the ones that contain them."

??!

Yao Ji's smile froze.

She looked at Jue.

Then she looked at the pile of spatial rings next to Jue.

Her first thought was that she felt like she was being knocked unconscious by money. She stammered:

"Inside… are they all?"

"Mm… it seems like there's more than that."

Yao Ji gasped and clutched her chest, falling backward.

It seemed like she was shocked.

A spatial ring containing spatial rings.

Wait a minute, the Ruin, is the Ruin so rich?! Aren't we supposed to be poor!

Then, after a long while, she suddenly jumped up and ran over quickly, starting to look inside those rings. Her expression became more and more serious: "It, it really is…"

"Nine Heavens Refining Spirit Pills."

"Pure Yang Blood Exchange Divine Pills."

"There are too many, too many!"

"And this, Nine-Patterned Star Steel? An essential item for quenching divine weapons. It's always out of stock on the Ruin treasure list. Countless experts, those guys who are not far from the first echelon under the Dao Fruit, realize that they can't reach this step, so they have to take shortcuts."

"Relying on forging divine weapons, they entrust a sliver of their true soul into them."

"Finally, the weapon merges with the body, achieving a half-step realm."

Yao Ji's voice trembled slightly due to her shock. Then, she widened her eyes and looked all the way over, her expression becoming more and more frozen. In the end, she put down the treasure in her hand and murmured, "...How is it possible? How is it possible? This is not reasonable."

She raised her head and said, word by word, "These things here are enough to mass-produce experts who have stepped onto the threshold of the first and second echelons under the Dao Fruit. Although there is a certain degree of danger, the Ruin is always skilled in killing and conquest."

"The harvest should be proportional to the price paid."

"Everyone here understands this truth."

"If he really intended to gamble all of the Ruin's resources against us."

"We might directly face more than a plural number of experts at this level."

"Not at the level of peerless experts, but basically at the level of touching the threshold of first-rate powerhouses, with defects and problems. Perhaps their lifespan and disaster avoidance are not comparable to the true first-echelon powerhouses under the Dao Fruit level, but in terms of killing and fighting, they are not inferior at all."

"I don't understand, I don't understand."

"Why didn't He bet all of these resources? Wouldn't that be cheaper for us?" Yao Ji supported her chin with one hand and shook her head repeatedly, puzzled. "I really can't figure this out."

"It can't be that the Ruin Master is a fool, right?"

Yao Ji pondered.

But she quickly put this matter behind her.

It's good if he's a fool!

Who cares!

She thought to herself, then happily ran to check the treasure circulation records of the entire Ruin. Countless celestial secrets flowed around her, turning into

A huge array, helping her to complete this work with extremely high efficiency.

And Wei Yuan inside had also figured out the characteristics of these treasures.

He looked at the things on the table. There were three treasures on the table.

The first was a simple and unadorned cauldron-like treasure, with delicate dragon patterns on it. It was only the size of a copper bell, but a very hot feeling vaguely emanated from it. If used against an enemy, it could instantly become ten thousand feet tall, with spatial power contained within, which could directly envelop the enemy, preventing them from escaping.

Then, nine different types of flames would be activated at the same time.

Turning into nine divine dragons with their own spirituality, circling around and spewing flames. Wei Yuan tried it slightly, and the power exerted by this treasure was related to the foundation of Wei Yuan's own use. When used with all his strength, it was enough for combat at the Dao Fruit level.

It could even be said to be the natural nemesis of Wu Zhiqi and Wei Yuan's current Mixed Yuan Undying body.

Another was a copper bell, which was used to directly attack the soul. It could directly shake down the three souls and seven spirits of a cultivator, and if used with all its strength, it could directly scatter the three souls and seven spirits. Even those with extremely strong physical bodies would probably fall on the spot.

The last was a black nail, with faint, inextinguishable red bloodstains on it, exuding an extremely ominous feeling. Even Wei Yuan's own karma could hardly detect this thing. If it hadn't been placed in the core area of the Ruin, Wei Yuan himself might have overlooked this treasure.

He was silent for a moment and collected all three of these treasures.

Walking out of here, he saw Yao Ji, her eyes shining, running up and down, looking around. Yao Ji happily said, "Brother-in-law is out, this time we've made a fortune!"

"We've really made a fortune. I didn't expect the Ruin Master to be stingy, not poor!"

"There are really so many resources here! It's almost comparable to Kunlun's treasure vault! No, not just that. If we're talking about the richness of the types of treasures, this place is even more powerful than our Kunlun!"

"So many heavenly materials and earthly treasures are packed in boxes!"

"It's outrageous, too outrageous!"

Wei Yuan thought of the words on the letter, was silent for a moment, and said, "The Ruin's foundation is so rich?" Yao Ji didn't notice the slight change in Wei Yuan's tone, just nodded happily, then shook her head and replied, "Yes, even after removing some things, there are still so many."

"Maybe because He died once?"

"He also looked for top-level treasures to revive his remnant soul at different times."

"It seems to have taken a lot of effort."

"But in the end, he was exchanged by that blockhead Qilin, hahaha. Look at so many records, all about how he found these treasures in the myriad worlds. It took a lot of effort, but in the end, they were exchanged by someone else."

"What a fool!"

………………

Ding-dong—

The door of the museum was pushed open, and the bell hanging on the door rang. Qilin washed off the bloody smell on his body, changed into white clothes, and slowed down as he walked in, seeing that Master was writing something.

Seeing that the teacher was writing words on white paper, Qilin leaned over, wanting to see more clearly. His footsteps were a little heavier, and Master noticed the movement, broke away from his focused state, put down his pen, and asked with a smile:

"I haven't written for a long time. Come, come, see how my writing is?"

"Teacher's writing is naturally as always, correct and in accordance with the rules."

Qilin replied, glanced at it, and recognized that these were the names of his fellow disciples.

Master stood beside him and said with a smile: "Coming to the human world now, seeing that many of your fellow disciples have not left their names, I want to record their names and experiences."

"I don't want to forget them either."

Qilin looked at the names on the white paper, so many once-vibrant people, everyone once sat together, reading together, laughing and talking about future ideals, and finally just left, the smoke of history swept over, rushed to their ideals and died, turning into these words.

He whispered:

"Teacher still remembers everyone."

Master said with a smile: "Of course."

"I am the teacher."

"Zilu is reckless, Zigong is eloquent, Ranyou is humble, Gongxi is tactful, Zeng Xi is quiet..."

The old man looked at the names on the white paper, each name was so familiar, once said countless times from his mouth, once stood respectfully in front of him, as if he saw his disciples, he can still say the character of each child, as if everything happened yesterday.

And Qilin suddenly asked: "Does the teacher still remember him?"

He stretched out his finger and pointed to the one behind the names of the three thousand disciples, Zigui.

"Zigui..."

Master read out this name, as if he could still see the unruly young man.

That was a stubborn child. When they met, he was covered in scars and crawling on his knees, leaving a bloody trail on the ground. He didn't remember his past. When they met, Zigui lost his memory but was arrogantly powerful. Someone gave him money and food, but he just raised his head and looked at the sky.

He was not a beggar.

For such a person, dignity is more important than life.

But he liked peach blossoms very much.

The peach tree is young and elegant; brilliant are its flowers. This maiden is going to her future home, and will order well her house.

So even though everyone laughed at this as a poem for a woman's marriage, he also chose his name from it, Zigui Zigui, Zhi Zi Yu Gui, but where do I return to?

Master thought for a long time, his voice gentle:

"Zigui, that's a stubborn fool."

"He said he wanted to find his memory and reclaim his past."

"I don't know if he finally did it."
