Chapter 52

Carrying a bag full of old books, Chufeng returned to the inn with great joy.

At this moment, Su Mei was no longer pouting; instead, she had a sweet smile on her face, looking very happy.

"Hey, you, did you find a treasure in this pile of old books?" After entering the room, Su Mei said with a grin.

"You little brat, you were just pretending earlier."

Looking at the mischievous Su Mei, Chufeng realized that the girl had deliberately acted that way, clearly having already noticed Chufeng's intentions.

"That old man is very shrewd. If you had given him a spirit pearl without hesitation, he would have raised the price. If it weren't for me playing the devil's advocate, you wouldn't have gotten it so easily."

"By the way, what treasure did you find? Show it to me quickly." Su Mei, unable to wait, helped pull the bag off Chufeng's shoulder.

After rummaging through the pile of books, Chufeng finally picked out one book. This book was also covered in dust, but it was very different from the others.

Although the book was old, it was intact and undamaged. Just looking at it gave a sense of antiquity, and when Chufeng held it, he could feel that the material was special.

Chufeng wiped the cover of the book with his hand, and after the dust was removed, a few large characters appeared: "Mental Secret Technique"!

"Mental Secret Technique" Su Mei snatched it over and, after a moment of careful examination, said in surprise, "If this Mental Secret Technique is real, then you've made a huge profit."

"Although the Mental Secret Technique can only be cultivated by those with mental energy, its market value is definitely no less than a thousand spirit pearls. It's strange that the old man would hide such a good thing in a book. Ah, I know, I bet the old man can't read."

"So expensive?" Hearing Su Mei's words, Chufeng was first shocked, but then he was overjoyed, because it meant he had really gotten a great deal.

"Of course. Take our Azure Dragon Sect's core disciple with mental energy, for example. Although he has mental energy, he lacks a cultivation method. If you sell this Mental Secret Technique to him, he would even pay a higher price, because this is a rare treasure that is hard to come by." Su Mei said proudly.

"Haha, after I cultivate it, I can sell it and make a fortune, right?" Chufeng was ecstatic. A thousand spirit pearls could probably help him break through to the Essence Martial Realm.

"Look at you, you're so unambitious. This secret technique is just a method to control mental energy, not a cultivation method for a Boundary Spirit Master."

"If you can master the power of boundaries and become a Boundary Spirit Master, many sects will invite you to join. At that time, the offerings from the sect alone will make you a true tycoon."

"Do you know how much the Boundary Spirit Master in our Azure Dragon Sect receives in offerings each month?"

"How much?"

"Every month, he receives one Mystic Pearl. One Mystic Pearl is equivalent to a thousand Essence Pearls, and one Essence Pearl is equivalent to a thousand Spirit Pearls. In other words, he receives one million Spirit Pearls from the Azure Dragon Sect every month." Su Mei explained.

"My goodness, one million Spirit Pearls every month? That's unbelievable." Chufeng was extremely surprised. For him now, one Spirit Pearl was already extremely precious, and one million was unimaginable.

"Even with these conditions, the Boundary Spirit Master only reluctantly accepted. If it weren't for the treasures of our Azure Dragon Sect, he wouldn't have agreed to be a guest elder of the Azure Dragon Sect." Su Mei continued.

"Treasures? What treasures?"

"You should know that in our Azure Dragon Sect's Spirit Herb Mountain, there is a Ten Thousand Bone Tomb, right? People speculate that the Ten Thousand Bone Tomb is a treasure, and that's why the Boundary Spirit Master came here." Su Mei explained.

"It's that place?" Chufeng was once again shocked. He never imagined that such a sinister and terrifying place could be a treasure.

But after some thought, he could understand. After all, the mental energy he now possessed was not innate but obtained in the Ten Thousand Bone Tomb, so he felt that the Ten Thousand Bone Tomb might indeed be a treasure.

"What's wrong? Why that expression?"

"Nothing, nothing." Chufeng quickly shook his head. He couldn't tell Su Mei that he had been trapped in the Ten Thousand Bone Tomb, where he met a glowing old man and obtained mental energy. These facts were too bizarre, so Chufeng wouldn't easily tell anyone.

"Alright, I see you can't wait to try cultivating this Mental Secret Technique, so I won't disturb you." Su Mei returned the Mental Secret Technique to Chufeng and then took something out of her waist pouch and handed it to Chufeng: "Here, this is a reward for accompanying me shopping!"

Looking closely, Chufeng saw that Su Mei was holding something that looked like a brocade pouch, but it was clearly not an ordinary one because its material was special, and it was covered with runes.

Seeing this, Chufeng immediately drew a sharp breath and exclaimed, "A Spatial Bag?"

A Spatial Bag, though only the size of a brocade pouch, contained a vast space and could store various items without any weight, making it a storage wonder.

However, the Spatial Bag was complex to make and extremely expensive, far beyond the means of ordinary people.

Chu Yuanba had once wanted to buy a Spatial Bag but gave up due to the high price. For Chufeng, this was an extremely luxurious item, but now Su Mei was giving it to him.

"What are you spacing out for? Cultivate well." Su Mei stuffed the Spatial Bag into Chufeng's hand and prepared to leave.

"Su Mei, why are you so good to me?" Holding the Spatial Bag, Chufeng looked at Su Mei with gratitude in his eyes.

"For no reason. It's just that all members of the Wing Alliance have Spatial Bags, and only you don't, which is too shabby. When the tomb opens in a few days, you can't carry two large bags like during the spirit herb hunt, or you'll be robbed for sure."

Su Mei grinned and didn't give Chufeng an answer, but just as she was about to leave the room, she turned back and said, "If you really don't understand why, you can consider it my simple attempt to win you over."

After saying that, Su Mei left. Watching the slowly closing door, Chufeng felt a warmth in his heart. Regardless of the reason, Su Mei was genuinely good to him.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chufeng eagerly opened the Mental Secret Technique and discovered that it was indeed a technique for controlling mental energy.

It allowed mental energy to move and carefully observe something. As long as the mental energy was strong enough, it could see through someone's strength even if they were hiding their aura.

If mastered well, it could even interfere with the opponent's consciousness, playing an unexpected role in battle.

In short, this Mental Secret Technique was definitely a good thing and would be very useful for Chufeng.
