Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Chapter 103 Doing a Favor While It's Going By!

Inside the main hall of the ruins.

"Lord Fengying, this puppet—"

Lin Yan held the fist-sized secret puppet in his hands, which gleamed faintly in the light of the hall. He looked up at Feng Yinghou beside him, his voice carrying a hint of inquiry.

As agreed.

All the treasures within the ruins shall be divided equally.

The distribution map of the ruins in the starry sky is like this, and so is this mysterious puppet. Although Lin Yan cannot yet fully understand its purpose, just based on the dense, three-dimensional runes inside—

This puppet is definitely worth a fortune.

"This puppet—" Feng Yinghou's gaze lingered on the puppet in Lin Yan's hand for a moment, then he spoke in a relaxed and casual tone.

"If Brother Lin is curious, feel free to take it!"

Feng Yinghou had his own plans. This mysterious puppet and the map of the distribution of star relics were in the same room, and its value was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

But he had just explored it.

This mystical puppet was not much different from the one he had obtained before, although the three-dimensional mystical patterns inside were more exquisite, containing the top attainments of the sacrificial temple in the field of mystical patterns.

However, for someone who had achieved the rank of Marquis and was immortal, these three-dimensional patterns were not of much practical use.

Why not do someone a favor?

He could tell that Lin Yan was curious about the secret puppet. Although Lin Yan was only a peak realm master, he could carry a plant life of the high rank of Marquis with him, so his origin was naturally not simple.

Building a good relationship with someone with such a background during one's early years is more valuable than acquiring a mysterious puppet.

"Thank you very much."

Lin Yan nodded, put the puppet into a spatial ring, and then the two left the ruins together.

And behind them.

The three pillars in the hall seemed to have completed their mission, turning into dust and disappearing without a trace.

After leaving the first ruin, the two immediately headed to the next coordinate on the star map.

in the starry sky.

-

The crimson beam of light gradually dimmed.

The two spaceships traced two paths in the starry sky, and soon accelerated to the speed of light in a wide area, entering the dark universe.

With accurate location coordinates.

There was no need for slow exploration; they could simply travel quickly, which naturally made their journey faster. In just over ten days, the two arrived at the second ruin.

The second relic is located deep within an asteroid belt in the outer region of the Netherworld Starfield.

The meteorites here are densely packed and drift slowly along irregular orbits. Energy storms rage in the meteorite belt year-round, and spatial rifts appear and disappear intermittently, making it one of the most dangerous areas in the outer region of the Youyuan Starfield.

Avoid those natural traps.

The two traversed layers of meteorites, venturing deep into the core of the asteroid belt.

The entrance to the ruins was hidden inside an ordinary meteorite. If it weren't clearly marked on the star map, no one would believe that there was a passageway to a sacrificial temple hidden inside the meteorite.

Cutting open the meteorite revealed the entrance to the ruins hidden inside. The entrance was a black stone door, with densely packed secret patterns engraved on the door frame, and the aura of laws emanating from it.

"Walk."

The two exchanged a glance and stepped through the stone gate at the same time.

There were also puppet guards inside the ruins, but with their previous experience, the two worked together even better and cleared all obstacles in no time.

Inside the treasure hall, there were three open treasure chests.

The treasure chests are made of a black metal with fine patterns on the surface, and each chest is locked with two blue chains.

"Secret Bone!!!"

Lin Yan immediately noticed that in one of the open treasure chests, three secret bones, two finger bones, and one leg bone were neatly arranged.

The silvery-white skeleton gleamed with a faint silver light in the treasure chest, and the fine lines on its surface undulated slightly like blood vessels, causing Lin Yan's heart to beat faster involuntarily.

"And there are also mystical stone artifacts!"

Feng Yinghou's self-illumination was placed in another treasure chest.

Inside was a small stone hammer, only the size of an average adult's fist. Its surface was engraved with densely packed law runes, which slowly swirled under the light, radiating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

The last treasure chest contained a spatial ring.

Lin Yan probed into the ring with his world power, and found that it was filled with some cultivation resources, with a preliminary estimated value of about 100,000 Chaos Units.

"Brother Lin, I want this mystical stone artifact, and in return, you can have the secret bone and the cultivation resources in the spatial ring, how about that?"

Feng Yinghou stared intently at the small stone hammer, clearly more interested in this stone artifact.

Secret-patterned stone tools.

It is a weapon specially made for the sacrificial temple, which can reduce the user's activation requirements and unleash greater power at a very low cost.

For immortal gods, the value of this weapon far exceeds that of other immortal god weapons of the same level. In life-or-death battles, every additional bit of power could mean an extra life.

However, that's not what Lin Yan is concerned about.

What he was concerned about was that Feng Yinghou seemed unaware of the true value of the secret bones. In Feng Yinghou's eyes, these secret bones might be quite valuable, but they were far less precious than the secret-patterned stone artifacts.

"good!"

Lin Yan nodded. He put the three secret bones into his spatial ring, and then transferred them into his inner world, placing them together with the previous secret bones.

As for the spatial ring worth 100,000 Chaos Units, Lin Yan also put it away.

In the eyes of the two who both felt they had gotten a good deal, the cultivation resources in this spatial ring were of the lowest value.

"Let's go, next one!"

Lin Yan and the other exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of satisfaction in each other's eyes.

"Let's go." Feng Yinghou also put away the small stone hammer, his spirits lifted, and turned to walk out of the ruins with Lin Yan.

The third site, the fourth site —

The two ruins are adjacent, only a few light-years apart, one located on the edge of an asteroid belt and the other deep within an energy storm.

With the experience gained from the first two ruins, the two explored faster and faster, and their cooperation became more and more seamless. The harvest from these two ruins was also the greatest yet.

The number of secret bones in Lin Yan's hands increased dramatically from a few to thirteen.

Finger bones, toe bones, ribs, leg bones, arm bones—

Various types of secret bones were neatly arranged in the inner world, emitting a faint silver light.

Apart from special treasures like secret bones and secret patterned stone artifacts, the remaining treasures have a combined value of nearly one million Chaos Yuan Units.

Rare ores, high-grade medicinal fruits, and ancient weapons.

Each piece is incredibly valuable; each is a rare and precious item.

"Let's go! Next one!"

Feng Yinghou's voice carried a hint of excitement. He was completely immersed in the thrill of exploring the ruins, and every time he opened a treasure chest and discovered new treasures, he was thrilled.

Lin Yan was also filled with excitement.

The feeling of discovering a treasure is like groping in the dark for a long time and suddenly seeing a glimmer of light ahead, which can easily make people addicted.

The two spaceships accelerated through space, quickly reaching the speed of light to enter the dark universe, heading towards the fifth ruin.
