With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 254 Hidden Dragon Sect

The report that Yue Lan had pulled out was a report from one of the scouts that she had sent out.

They had found these pillars and information about the token not in a city, but a village that was several hundred kilometers away from here. It was a village that was in the middle of nowhere and was on the border with another empire, so it was a village that was normally forgotten by the Mu Empire.

Yue Lan had taken this task from Lin Fan seriously, so she had sent people to scour all over the empire for this token, which included this village.

According to the report, these pillars that had been found were very famous in the village.

As soon as they asked about these pillars, they learned where they had come from.

These pillars had once been the path to a sect called the Hidden Dragon Sect. However, the Hidden Dragon Sect had disappeared one day without any warning, almost as if the entire sect had been spirited away.

However, everyone recognized that the dragon mark that had been carved onto the pillar was the mark of the Hidden Dragon Sect.

Lin Fan had asked Yue Lan to investigate this token because of his mission, but he never expected something like this.

He had thought that it would lead to some kind of treasure or some ruins, but he never expected it to be the mark of a sect that had disappeared. How was he supposed to use this?

Not to mention, the mission prompt had said that there was a special use for this item, so there must be something that he could do with it…

As Lin Fan thought about it more and more, he finally decided that he needed to go visit that village personally. Perhaps he would be able to find some clues by bringing the token there or using his Appraisal Eyes.

In short, it would be useless to think too much about this.

As he was about to tell Yue Lan his plan to go to the village, he saw that she suddenly pulled out a few more things.

Lin Fan already had plenty of Storage Rings from all the people that he fought, so he had given all of the girls in his harem one. He had given Yue Lan the biggest one since she was the one that needed it the most as the one who took care of all of his businesses.

So he wasn't surprised to see the things that she suddenly took out.

There were several large pots, several large stone shields, and several large bowls that all had the same dragon mark on it that she suddenly took out.

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a confused look when he saw this since he had no idea why she suddenly took all of these out.

Seeing this look, Yue Lan explained, "The ones who went to scout the village found that there were many of these items that the villagers had picked up after the Hidden Dragon Sect had disappeared. They saw that they had the same mark as the token on it, so they thought that it might have some importance and brought it back. Of course, we have no idea what they do at all."

Lin Fan gave a nod in response before starting to look over the things that Yue Lan had brought out.

But as he looked them over, he found that he couldn't see anything special about them.

As far as he could tell, they were nothing more than normal pots, shields, and bowls.

However, he did have something that others didn't have.

So he used his Appraisal Eyes to also check these items.

When he looked over them with his Appraisal Eyes, he wasn't able to find anything special about them through their descriptions. It just stated that these were items that had been made by the Hidden Dragon Sect and didn't give any more information than that.

But there was something strange about the descriptions that had also appeared.

There was a special status that was given to these items.

Apparently, these items were all sealed and the only thing that would unseal them was the Mark of the Hidden Dragon.

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a confused look when he saw this, but then he suddenly looked like he thought of something.

He slowly took out the strange token that he had found and then slowly brought it towards these items.

Yue Lan was confused why he was doing this, but she didn't stop him and just carefully watched him. At the same time though, she slowly moved back towards the wall of the room just in case anything happened.

She wasn't as strong as Lin Fan, so if anything were to happen, it was more likely that she would be hurt. So it was better for her if she stood further away as Lin Fan inspected these items.

When the token finally touched the pot that Lin Fan had brought it towards, there was a sudden blinding flash of light that appeared.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan dropped it and ran backwards towards Yue Lan. He took her in his arms and then he held her in his arms to protect her from anything that would happen.

Both of them weren't able to keep their eyes open from the dazzling glow in front of them, so they just stood there with their eyes closed. Lin Fan had released all of his spiritual energy to form a shield around them at the same time.

However, after some time passed and nothing happened, both of them opened their eyes to see the pot standing there and the token lying on the ground.

It didn't seem like anything had changed with these two items.

Lin Fan slowly moved over towards the pot.

He was surprised to find that this pot had suddenly been filled with water. But as for where that water came from, he didn't have any ideas at all.

That was until he looked at the pot with his Appraisal Eyes again.

Gone was the status that said that this item was sealed and now it revealed its true appearance.

This item…was an artifact.

It wasn't a high grade artifact, it was just a simple Mid Qi Gathering Realm Artifact, but it had a very surprising effect.

It could be used to gather the condensation out of the air and that condensation would be gathered as water in the pot. As long as there was enough spiritual energy injected into the item, there would be an infinite amount of water generated.

Normally artifacts would be created to use as weapons and armour, but this Hidden Dragon Sect had created an artifact just for something like gathering water.

If they had the skills to do something like this, they clearly weren't a small sect.

So where did this sect disappear to?

And why did they leave behind this token?

Lin Fan became more confused the more he thought about it until he decided to stop thinking about it.

Instead, he picked up the token and brought it over to the other items.

As soon as the token touched another item, he found that the same thing as before happened where these items were unsealed by the token.

However, he also noticed that as the items were unsealed, there was a bit of spiritual energy that was drained from the token. It seemed like there was a supply of spiritual energy inside the token and each activation of these artifacts drained it a bit.

So after activating two more items, he stopped activating the rest.

He just activated one shield and one bowl to see what they did.

The shield had a very surprising effect, while the bowl wasn't that surprising.

The shield was something like a roomba from Lin Fan's previous world, in that it manipulated wind spiritual energy to float around and used that wind spiritual energy to gather all the dust in an area. Once it gathered all of that dust, it would dump it into one spot which made it easier to clean.

The bowl had a simple effect of being able to heat up by itself without a fire as long as there was enough spiritual energy injected.

This was clearly an item that was used to cook on the go.

All of these items were just for common everyday use…It was clear just how powerful the Hidden Dragon Sect was when it came to creating artifacts.

So why did such a powerful sect disappear?

As Lin Fan thought about this, he couldn't help remembering something and he immediately turned to the drawing from before. He looked carefully at the pillars in this drawing, but his Appraisal Eyes didn't activate since this was just a drawing.

However, as he looked at this drawing, he couldn't help looking at the token that he was holding in his hand.

Could it be that these pillars were the same as the pots, shields, and bowls?

Could it be that they were also sealed and they needed this token to unseal them?

Could it be that the Hidden Dragon Sect had sealed themselves off and were just waiting for the person with this token to release them?

As these thoughts filled his mind, he felt that it seemed more and more likely.

Of course, there was still the question of why they had done all of this, but that wasn't something that Lin Fan could answer.

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he would have to take a trip to this village.

Yue Lan on the other hand was completely focused on the pot, the shield, and the bowl.

As a merchant, she could naturally sense the profits that she would be able to earn from these items. Once she heard the description and the demonstration of their abilities from Lin Fan, she had begun studying them carefully.

Just these items wouldn't be enough for them to sell and even if they were to auction them, they wouldn't be able to earn that much.

The best way to earn money from them would be to reverse engineer the method of creating these artifacts and producing them themselves. That would allow them to mass produce it, while also allowing them to pretend that they were scarce and rare.

But after looking at it for a while, she gave a sigh as she realized that this was just out of their league. They didn't have any artifact masters to begin with, so it wasn't as if they could study how to make this item in the first place.

So she had no choice but to give up on this idea and turn back to Lin Fan.

Seeing the look on his face, she could already guess what he was thinking, so she shook her head with a sigh.
