Chapter 299 Unsealing the Azure Sky Ring

Chapter 299 Unsealing the Azure Sky Ring

"Ding! A significant fluctuation in the host's Dao heart has been detected, which is consistent with the villain setting. A reward of 500 evil points will be given, and some privileges will be unlocked."

"Partial permissions?" Bai Ke asked, puzzled.

"The host can now enjoy free item appraisal services, and the system store has also opened up the sales and recycling functions for you."

"Let me introduce the sales and recycling function."

"The host can sell any item to the system store, and the system store will reward the host with corresponding evil points based on the value of the sold item."

"Any item... Can the techniques and supernatural abilities I've already learned be recycled?"

"Yes, but I don't recommend that the host do so. It's best to fuse cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities through the Great Dao Furnace to obtain the greatest benefits."

Bai Ke tried to sell a low-grade spirit stone to the system shop, but the system shop offered a buyback price of zero.

He then tried mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones, but the recycling price was also zero. He couldn't help but ask the system:

Why is the trade-in value of hard currency in the Mountain and Sea Realm zero in the system shop?

"The system shop accepts any item, but the buyback price depends on the value of the item being sold. Spirit stones are not of research value to the system."

Bai Ke seemed to understand, but then tried to sell Lingbo Weibu to the store. However, the system prompted that the recycling price of Lingbo Weibu was 2250 evil points.

The last time I used the Lingbo Weibu technique to imprint it in the Great Dao Furnace, it cost 4500 evil points, which is equivalent to its actual value. The recycling price would be about half of that compensation given to Bai Ke.

After doing this calculation, Bai Ke finally understood that although the system said that any item could be recycled, the items that could actually be exchanged for evil points were those that were valuable to the system.

The logic seems similar to the stone wall I obtained last time. The system determined that the stone wall was a special artifact with research value, so it gave Bai Ke a corresponding reward. This recycling function is also quite similar, and it feels like the requirements for the items have been lowered.

After Bai Ke understood the new function of the system shop, he was too lazy to dwell on it. He directly took out the Azure Sky Ring he had obtained from killing Ling Feng and said to the system:

"Have this thumb ring appraised for me."

"Host request received. Item being appraised. Please wait..."

"Ding! Test complete, results as follows..."

[Azure Sky Ring (Fake)]: A secondary artifact, creator unknown, currently sealed. Because it is a replica of an ancient artifact, it only possesses two main functions: storage and soul nurturing. It can also be used as a key to unlock certain items.

Bai Ke was stunned. He hadn’t expected that the ring was actually a sub-divine artifact!

He quickly probed his divine sense into the Azure Sky Ring, but was immediately repelled by a powerful force.

This is so weird! This must be the sealed state mentioned in the system introduction.

Bai Ke suddenly thought of Nan Wenyang, the previous owner of the Azure Sky Ring, and couldn't help but wonder if only soul-based beings could use this thing...

"System, why can't I use this ring right now?"

"This item is sealed and must be unsealed before it can be used."

"How do you solve it?"

"The host can use their Heavenly Eye Divine Power to break the seal, or purchase a magic weapon of the corresponding level, the Seal-Breaking Talisman, from the system shop to break the seal."

After hearing this, Bai Ke opened the system shop and checked the Wind-Breaking Talisman, which was of the secondary artifact level. It showed: [Magic Treasure Sealing Talisman (Secondary Artifact Level)] Price: 100000 Evil Points.

Well, at this price, Bai Ke can forget about dreaming. A single seal-breaking talisman costs 100,000 evil points, which Bai Ke is unwilling to spend.

He didn't even bother with the spray system; he simply opened his Heavenly Eye to observe the Azure Sky Ring.

In Bai Ke's pale golden vision, he could clearly see that the Azure Sky Ring was covered with a dense array of patterns, all imprinted with exceptionally powerful energy.

Bai Ke had never seen that energy before, and the aura emanating from it was at least ten thousand times purer and more concentrated than spiritual power.

This is probably the immortal essence that cultivators transform into after breaking through to the Mahayana stage.

To use this Azure Sky Ring, the seal must be broken; to break the seal, these array patterns must be erased, and the seal will naturally disappear.

However, Bai Ke did not have the ability to erase the array patterns engraved by the immortal essence. The only method he could think of was to change the arrangement of the array patterns.

Once the arrangement of the array patterns is changed, Bai Ke can create a loophole and set himself as a "verified user," so that the seal will not resist his divine sense, and he will no longer be restricted from entering.

Thinking this way, Bai Ke observed for a long time and found that although the arrangement of the array patterns was very simple, it completely reflected the original mysterious and obscure laws.

This impressed Bai Ke greatly, as this simple arrangement is precisely the most difficult.

This is like presenting something incredibly profound in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

When Bai Ke tried to change the arrangement of the first array pattern, he found that he was consuming too much spiritual energy.

With the Nine Yang Heavenly Scripture and the Soul Dividing Technique, his spiritual power reserves were comparable to those of a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, he had already consumed nearly one-fifth of his spiritual power by simply altering the arrangement of a single array pattern.

You should know that the array patterns on this thumb ring are very dense. If it continues to be modified like this, it will take at least ten days to half a month to complete.

Bai Ke couldn't possibly spend that much time unsealing the Azure Sky Ring, so he had no choice but to summon the system shop and buy the artifact-level magic weapon, the Unsealing Talisman.

Following the instructions provided by the system, he used the seal-breaking talisman on the Azure Sky Ring.

The sealing talisman completely enveloped the Azure Sky Ring, causing it to tremble in mid-air.

A hissing sound rang out continuously, and wisps of green smoke slowly rose from it.

After a while, the sealing talisman turned into green smoke and dissipated. The Azure Sky Ring did not change in appearance, but in Bai Ke's Heavenly Eye perspective, all the dense array patterns disappeared.

He decisively probed it with his divine sense, only to find that the space inside was a self-contained domain, feeling like a small world except for the absence of living beings.

"Spending 100,000 evil points wasn't a bad deal. This space... I feel like it could fit the entire Heavenly Domain!" Bai Ke muttered to himself.

He then transferred everything from his storage ring to the Azure Sky Ring, and put the storage ring away, intending to give it to Ling Xin'er.

Bai Ke originally intended to go to Tian Ce Peak to find Ning Fengyi to discuss the matter of receiving the delegation.

But because of the system's delay, he had unknowingly been in the sky for several hours, and it was now close to noon.

He was considering whether to wait in front of the Tian Ce Palace gate when he suddenly saw two figures flying towards him...
