Chapter 495: Chapter 467: The Empire’s Three Treasures

In a storage space of thirty meters long, twelve meters wide, and nine meters high, a series of mahogany shelves were arranged.

On the shelves, there were things that resembled books neatly piled up according to category.

With a thought, Li Fan picked up one of them.

After observing it for a moment in his hand, Li Fan discovered that this supposed “book” was actually alive.

Although it was still, Li Fan acutely detected the unique breath of life emanating from it.

Li Fan immediately understood that while they were in the Storage Ring, they were in a state of slumber similar to death. But once they were separated from the Storage Ring and had contact with the outside world, they regained vitality.

Opening the “book,” beams of light shot out from it, converging in the air above.

A myriad of tiny characters and drawings filled the light.

It was the universal script of the Xuanhuang World. Li Fan carefully examined and found that it contained information about the Exotic Beast – the Dark Ancient Mantis. From its body structure, lifestyle habits, the specific value of every part of its body, to its breeding methods. Everything was there, making it an all-encompassing encyclopedic book.

Li Fan turned another page, and the light changed and reconvened.

This time, it was the details about the Exotic Beast – the Ink God Fish.

Li Fan switched to another book and found that it also contained information about different Exotic Beasts.

“In our world, there is a type of Exotic Beast called Book Worm. They feed on texts and pictures. After special treatment, they can be made into books. Then, the texts, pictures they have eaten can be reproduced, which achieves mass data storage,” Qing explained to Li Fan.

“This Storage Ring contains the Empire’s research summary on Exotic Beasts over thousands of years, which includes information about all the Exotic Beasts in our world. Of course, apart from a few, Exotic Beasts’ data will be completed at the final stage of the transaction.”

Li Fan nodded slowly and read a few more books. Then he solemnly stored the Storage Ring away.

“Having only data is useless, it needs a physical counterpart as well. This is the second part of the Empire’s trade,” Qing took out a red, square wooden box and handed it to Li Fan.

With a slight spiritual sense, Li Fan immediately understood the use of the wooden box in front of him.

It appeared to be the size of a palm, but inside, it was divided into countless separate spaces.

Each space contained ten Exotic Beasts of the same type.

All of them seemed to be frozen in ice, standing still.

Naturally, Li Fan could see that these Exotic Beasts still retained their vital signs.

In addition to the adult bodies of the Exotic Beasts, Li Fan also found numerous embryos, eggs, or tiny juveniles in a dormant state within the space.

“This is the [Life Sealing Treasure Box], containing the Beasts corresponding to the data in the first Storage Ring.”

A touch of pride appeared on Qing’s face: “With these two Storage Rings, as long as you find the right environment, you can reproduce the cultivation of Exotic Beasts on a large scale.”

“If enough resources are invested, rebuilding the current prosperity of the Empire is not a difficult task.”

Li Fan put the [Life Sealing Treasure Box] away and said satisfyingly: “With the content of these two Storage Rings, I can also explain to the organization. But…”

Li Fan continued, “Although the things you’ve provided are indeed of great value, they don’t contribute much to the actual enhancement of combat power. We, the United Federation of All Realms, are still hoping that you can provide some technical support that would assist us during the battle with the Xuanhuang World.”

“For instance, the armor similar to beast transformation that this young brother showed earlier.”

Li Fan pointed to Li Chenfeng, his gaze piercing, looking at Qing.

Qing smiled lightly and said, “I knew you were keen on this since you were so generous this time.”

“Fortunately, it’s the third part of our trade, and so far, the last part.”

Qing extended her right hand. A blood-red, constantly throbbing, round bead suddenly appeared in her hand.

“This is the Beast Soul Bead. Even an ordinary mortal, as long as they can withstand the Spirit of the Exotic Beast sealed within it, can absorb it, summon the [Beast God Armor], and unleash a fighting power equivalent to an Exotic Beast.”

Qing handed over another Storage Ring.

This time, there was no special pattern engraved on it. It was just an ordinary ring.

“Inside are a thousand Beast Soul Beads. Five hundred of them contain the souls of Exotic Beasts equivalent to the combat power of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Phase. Another four hundred and ninety contain the souls of Exotic Beasts equivalent to the combat power of a Gold Core.”

“Of the remainder, nine of them have souls equivalent to the strength of a Nascent Soul Monk from the Crimson Mystic Whale.”

“As for the last one…”

After a moment of hesitation, Qing continued, “It was made from the essence of the Nine-headed Divine Bird extracted by the Empire.”

“In theory, it can evoke a Beast God Armor equivalent to a God-transforming cultivator. But the Nine-headed bird is ferocious by nature, even after it was….”

“Even thousands of years after its death, its violent spirit is not extinguished. The Empire has successfully made a few Beast Soul Beads from it as raw material. But so far, no one has survived the refining process. Either they went insane or they died.”

“If the Union wishes to try, it is best to choose individuals with a tenacious will.”

“Yes, the power of the Exotic Beast and the spiritual power of the cultivator are in conflict. The higher the cultivation, the greater the resistance to refining the Beast Soul Bead. If you want to maximize its power, it’s best to use it on pure mortals,” Qing added.

“Excellent!” A hint of joy appeared on Li Fan’s face.

“We, the United Federation of All Realms, appreciate your sincerity! I believe that once I report back, a deeper collaboration will quickly begin.”

“Hehe, the method to make Beast Soul Beads, as well as the Beast Taming Technique, are all very much looked forward to by our organization,” Li Fan said.

Without any change in expression, Qing solemnly said, “Once the transaction is completed and the Empire completely leaves the Xuanhuang World, all these will be conveyed to you.”

“I can’t wait for that day!” Li Fan put away the Storage ring containing a thousand Beast Soul Beads.

He left the secret room, flitting up.

“When I find a suitable place for you to settle, I will come again for trade.”

“I hope that in addition to technology, the Empire can also provide some manpower support.”

“At that time, we will be responsible for receiving and transferring personnel.”

Li Fan looked at the people of the Empire below and said telepathically.

“No problem,” Qing agreed immediately.

Li Fan nodded, breaking through the air and departing.

He didn’t return to Ten Thousand Immortals Island, but flew directly to Bodhisattva Island.

“Junior Brother, please protect the law for me.”

Tianyang, who was tilting his head and practicing the [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique], stopped practicing as soon as he heard Li Fan’s request.

Standing up abruptly, he vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
