Chapter 839: Taihua Purple Qi Waist Pendant, Innate Purple Qi Essence (First Update)

As for the other two Deputy Chief Examiners, they held the same thoughts.

Not long after, Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun chose to disperse.

Wu Zetao cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, Brother Zhao, Miss Ning, the three of you are welcome to visit the Shayi Kingdom whenever you have time. I will certainly fulfill the duties of a host. Until we meet again!"

Since Zhao Rui had advanced to a Pseudo-King, Wu Zetao no longer put on airs as he had before; although there was still a clear gap in their strength, on the surface, they were now of the same rank.

"Brother Wu, until we meet again!"

Li Zhangsheng and the others responded, and Wu Zetao turned and left; it was unknown when they would see him next.

Li Zhangsheng turned to Zhao Rui and said, "Zhao Rui, you should return to the Dai Kingdom first. Bizhen and I still have some matters to attend to, and we will come to find you in the Dai Kingdom in a few days."

Li Zhangsheng still remembered that the Phoenix had once lingered in the Kailing Empire, so he wanted to search for this treasure.

However, so many years had passed, and the possibility of someone else getting there first was not small.

"Then I will head back first!"

Zhao Rui did not decline; he was very clear about his duties and prepared to recruit some capable personnel upon returning to first build a framework, so he could better serve Li Zhangsheng.

Zhao Rui was originally a prince of the Dai Kingdom, and now that he had advanced to a Pseudo-King, his prestige and status would naturally soar significantly once he returned to the Dai Kingdom, so recruiting enough personnel would naturally not be difficult.

There was no help for it; the current Dai Kingdom was precarious, and the number of Pseudo-Kings currently remaining within the borders of the Dai Kingdom did not even add up to a handful.

Even if Zhao Rui was a New Pseudo-King, he could definitely rank in the top ten in the Dai Kingdom, and it was very likely he was in the top five, or even the top three.

After Zhao Rui left, Ning Bizhen asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Of course, we are going to find a quiet place to open the treasure chests first!"

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen had no intention of lingering here; after all, this was an Important Area of the Kailing Empire, and furthermore, they had caused the Kailing Empire's team to suffer a great loss this time, so they were naturally unwelcome.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen left the Bernama Fortress directly.

In the sky, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen were riding together on Aixi.

In order to shake off any potential tracking, Aixi directly unleashed the White Tiger Transformation Rainbow Technique, turning into a golden rainbow and flying toward the west of the Kailing Empire at an unimaginable speed.

When the White Tiger Transformation Rainbow Technique ended, Aixi changed direction slightly and flew several hundred miles to the southwest before circling and landing on this desolate Gobi desert.

Li Zhangsheng sensed carefully, and after confirming that no one was following, he cautiously set up a Strengthened Breath-Concealing Restriction before taking out the treasure chests with Ning Bizhen.

One Purple Gold Treasure Chest, one Gold Treasure Chest.

Thinking of Ning Bizhen's consistent good luck, Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but say, "You open yours first!"

Ning Bizhen rubbed her hands; this habit was originally Li Zhangsheng's, but now it had become hers as well.

According to Li Zhangsheng, opening treasure chests required a sense of ritual; even if there were no conditions, one should at least rub their hands—perhaps their hands would be "hot."

Creak—

Ning Bizhen opened the Gold Treasure Chest, revealing a clearly damaged piece of broken jade.

This piece of broken jade was pale purple all over, about the size of an infant's palm, and was slightly floating. Judging from its shape, it seemed to be missing a piece, likely only about 2/3 of its original size.

Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power was in an outward-projecting state, and he instantly discovered a large point of light.

This point of light was very bright, already extremely close to the brightness of a Lower-Grade World Wonder, missing only a tiny bit.

Clearly, this was not a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade item, but a damaged World Wonder.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, this damaged World Wonder would have had at least the standard of a Mid-grade World Wonder in its prime, and perhaps even Superior Quality.

Even now, it was likely capable of exerting some of its power.

At this moment, the Gold Treasure Chest slowly disappeared, and then Ning Bizhen received a stream of information.

Ning Bizhen opened her bright eyes and said, "This is a damaged Taihua Purple Qi Waist Pendant. It can activate the Taihua Purple Qi inside to attack enemies, and at the same time, it can produce one portion of Innate Purple Qi Essence every year. Due to the damage, it has been extended to producing one portion of Innate Purple Qi Essence every three years."

Innate Purple Qi Essence—just seeing the two characters "Innate" told one of its preciousness, because any Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure containing the word "Innate" was at least a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade item.

This Innate Purple Qi Essence naturally belonged to the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure category, and its effects were similar to Innate Cloud Qi, capable of strengthening a certain ability of a spirit.

Unfortunately, due to the damage, the Taihua Purple Qi Waist Pendant could only produce one portion of Innate Purple Qi Essence every three years, so one shouldn't count on it for the time being.

Even so, the Taihua Purple Qi Waist Pendant gave Ning Bizhen an additional conventional offensive method; even if it could only exert part of its power, it would likely pose a certain threat to Demon Beast.

Furthermore, compared to Yan Wanling, Ning Bizhen's luck was clearly better. The Taihua Purple Qi Waist Pendant could continuously produce Innate Purple Qi Essence and possessed a decent offensive method; even in its damaged state, its value far exceeded that of a Profound Meaning Crystal.

"This waist pendant is quite suitable for you!" Li Zhangsheng took the initiative to pick up the waist pendant and hung it around Ning Bizhen's waist. After wearing the Taihua Purple Qi Waist Pendant, Ning Bizhen gained an extra touch of ethereal air.

"Bizhen, while your luck is good, you should help me open mine as well."

Li Zhangsheng always felt that Ning Bizhen's hands were as if they had been blessed; her luck was truly incredibly good.

Ning Bizhen said worriedly, "Let's get this straight: if you open something bad, you can't blame me."

"That goes without saying; how could I possibly blame you?"

After receiving Li Zhangsheng's reply, Ning Bizhen took out a bottle of Life Essence, carefully cleaned her hands, and then solemnly opened the Purple Gold Treasure Chest.

The moment it opened, the Purple Gold Treasure Chest suddenly burst forth with blinding silver-white radiance. Fortunately, Li Zhangsheng had set up the Strengthened Breath-Concealing Restriction in advance, otherwise, it could have been sensed for hundreds of miles around.

Seeing such a display, Li Zhangsheng felt relieved; with such a powerful display, the treasure stored in the chest was definitely not an ordinary item.

After a few breaths, the light finally dissipated, revealing the treasure inside the Purple Gold Treasure Chest.

It was a Jade Bottle containing a silver-white liquid.

Li Zhangsheng indicated that this was his first time seeing such a treasure, and it was also the first time he had failed to find information about this item in the memories of Flame King Di Zhiyi and Spirit King Liu Yongtu, which showed its extraordinary nature.

However, Li Zhangsheng did not consult any books, waiting for the Purple Gold Treasure Chest to disappear.

When the Purple Gold Treasure Chest completely vanished, a stream of information automatically flooded into Li Zhangsheng's mind.

After reading this information, Li Zhangsheng was stunned for a moment, followed by a wild, joyful smile.
