Chapter 57: Storage Ring
Abbess Clearlotus could see countless figures inside the small courtyard, be it the elderly or the youthful. They were gathered around the withered well; some not uttering a word whereas some chattered non-stop.
All right, Ill relay your words to War God Fang, Abbess Clearlotus nodded. She turned to Fang Chen and said, War God Fang, they want you to promise them to drive the Blood Spirit Cultists out of Great Xia.
You can see ghosts? Fang Chen was fazed.
He had drawn out his soul countless times over the last five years, but he had never seen a ghost before. Was it possible that this second stage Ki Refinement little nun was really able to see ghosts?
My master said I was born with Yin-Yang Eyes, which allows me to see ghosts, Abbess Clearlotus replied with a nod.
Li Daoye was getting goosebumps all over his body. This Little Abbess is a wonderful person, but her ability to see ghosts really creeps me out!
Tell them I will, Fang Chen replied with a nod.
Abbess Clearlotus saw the figures bowing toward Fang Chen, and she said, War God Fang, they are bidding you farewell.
May you have a smooth journey, Fang Chen clasped his fist and replied.
Are they gone yet? Li Daoye anxiously asked.
Yes, they are gone. Abbess Clearlotus nodded. I promised them to stay in Great Xia and help War God Lotus drive away the Blood Spirit Cultists.
Little Abbess, you made that promise by yourself. This has nothing to do with me. Im going to get out of here, and I think you should come with me! Li Daoye cried.
I gave them your word in your stead too, Abbess Clearlotus added.
What?! You gave them my word in my stead?! You didnt ask me! Li Daoye was horrified.
My master said that we must fulfill our promises to the ghosts, or else well face many difficulties on our path toward immortalhood, Abbess Clearlotus said.
Did your master tell you not to easily give your promise to others too?! Li Daoye nearly tore his hair out.
Abbess Clearlotus was stunned. Seconds later, she nodded. I think my master said something like that too.
Why are you easily giving your promise to others then?! You even promised them in my stead. What a terrible nun you are! I shouldnt have saved you from those human traffickers! Li Daoye bellowed in a fit of anger.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. At least Fang Chen doesnt intend to marry this little nun. They couldnt be blamed for being so nervous, as this was the first time Fang Chen brought a woman back.
Fang Chens mother stepped forward and warmly welcomed Abbess Clearlotus. Having never experienced such hospitality, the little nun swiftly turned red.
No matter how they looked at it, she didnt seem like a highly-enlightened nun. Fang Canghai and Fang Cangyou couldnt help but get suspicious once more.
Fang Chen paid no heed to them. He made some light talk before returning to his room. He took out a ring he had found amidst Master Xu Huis ashes, which he suspected to be a storage ring.
To think it has eight daosoul imprints on it. Its no ordinary treasure.
When Fang Chens spirit ki came into contact with the ring, it revealed eight daosoul imprints.
For the next two days, Fang Chen spent his spirit ki erasing Master Xu Huis aura from the ring. Following that, he assimilated the ring, and the ring finally became his artifact.
He put on the ring and slowly infused his spirit ki into it. He immediately saw a void with slightly more than a hundred low-grade ki stones scattered around and a golden bowl. The golden bowl was the artifact Xu Hui had previously used against the gray-robed daoist.
A space thats around a cubic meter big. Not bad. Fang Chen smiled.
Neither the Greenwood Puppet nor the jade pendant was on par with this storage ring. This storage ring allowed him to carry items that were usually inconvenient for him to bring about.
He retrieved the golden bowl and examined it. It had the same number of daosoul imprints as the Greenwood Puppet. He didnt intend to use it just yet, so he tossed it back into the storage ring. At the same time, he placed the Greenwood Puppet and the hundred low-grade ki stones he had earned into the storage ring.
He kept the jade pendant on him though.
I have a couple of spirit artifacts and over two hundred low-grade ki stones. That should make me decently wealthy among Ki Refinement cultivators, Fang Chen murmured.
Just then, he heard a commotion outside.
Young master, the Valiant Defenders have barged into our mansion! Xu Ge urgently reported from outside the door.
Got it. Fang Chen nodded.
At the main hall, Fang Cangyou glared at the fifty ferocious Valiant Defenders before him from his wheelchair, not displaying the slightest fear. With cold eyes and a lofty voice, he sneered, You Valiant Defenders must think lightly of our Fang Manor to dare barge in like that. Does your commander, Xiao Shence, intend to make enemies out of our Fang Manor?
Second Master Fang, I have heard about you, but I didnt think we would meet under such circumstances. We have come under orders. I hope you can call Fang Chen out to meet us, Enforcement Envoy Liu said.
