When An Zheng had put the dried corpse into the coffin, something had fallen down from the corpse. He looked at the item and realized that it was a small purple box with a crystal wire through it. It had looked like any other ordinary jewelry.

– “A necklace?”

An Zheng picked it up and thought,  “It must have belonged to the old man's corpse, and it might have fallen down due to my carelessness“. He picked up the necklace and returned it to the corpse’s chest. This cave was extremely cold, so he felt that is was freezing and went out.

– “Senior, please rest in peace. I will go outside to pick some herbs and leave. You have my word, Senior. I will never tell anyone about this valley.”

Having left for a while, An Zheng had heard some sounds. He looked back and saw a bracelet made from thirteen orient pearls. He looked back again and saw no one. “Just a moment ago, it was a necklace, but now it is a bracelet…”

An Zheng felt nervous. He picked up the purple bracelet. It might have been made of precious wood. When he touched the bracelet, it was smooth and s.h.i.+ny. He looked back to the crystal coffin and tried asking,

– “Senior, you gave me this bracelet?”

No one answered, but the crystal coffin suddenly shook, and a cover automatically slid in to close the coffin. An Zheng was thoughtful for a while, and he a.s.sumed that the corpse would not have allowed him to have returned the item. “The previous purple necklace must have been a small payment from the dried-corpse senior. However, I thought that I was careless to have dropped  this item, so I had returned it to him, and then he played a joke on me by closing the coffin so that I could not have returned the item to him. ”

An Zheng looked at the bracelet, but he could not see anything special. He thought to himself, “It is very beautiful, but it is quite big.”

He wore the bracelet on his left hand, and then the bracelet automatically squeezed his wrist. The bracelet had thirteen orient pearls, and each pearl had a small thorn poking at An Zheng’s wrist. They had made thirteen holes in his wrist, and each hole had bled. An Zheng knitted his brows in pain. When he looked at his wrist, he saw more than one red hole under each pearl.

An Zheng knew that only senior items had recognized its owner by blood. However, this bracelet was more awkward because it had automatically covered An Zheng’s wrist and recognized him as its owner. An Zheng tried taking off the bracelet, but he felt ‘Stunt’ in his head when he had tried to remove it.

All the information of the bracelet had been conveyed to his mind in a twinkling of an eye.

– “Senior treasure…”

An Zheng did not know if the information was automatically transferred to his mind by the bracelet or the senior. However, An Zheng was afraid of the item.

The bracelet had thirteen pearls, and each pearl had its own effect. An Zheng observed carefully, and he saw the blood stains under each pearl had different shapes. They were a three-star, a semicircle, a dot, and a six-star. They were completely different to each other.

Based on the separations, one of the thirteen pearls was used to store items, and its size would have increased following its owner's cultivation base. If An Zheng’s cultivation base was in the Great Basic Sky Stage, then its size was just enough to have stored the entire Illusory Perennial Domicile inside of it. However, An Zheng’s current base was very low, so its size was as small as a room.

Another pearl was also an inventory, but it was not used to store any items except the great herbal valley. In other words, the dried-corpse senior had handed the entire herbal valley over to An Zheng. An Zheng was shocked because such a number of herbs in the valley were beyond his imagination. An Zheng did not check carefully, but he could see white, red, and even gold herbs in the valley. If he had checked more carefully, he must have found the amethyst herbs.

– “This gift is so big.”

An Zheng turned back suddenly,

– “I will be very ashamed in taking this. The herbal valley outside was your lifetime confidential. I don’t dare to bring them all with me. I just needed some to have cured my friends.”

He tried taking off the bracelet, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not take it off.

The kitten turned out from An Zheng’s chest and made a sound as if it wanted to say something to An Zheng. An Zheng looked at the kitten,

– “What do you want to say? Keep it?”

The kitten nodded, but An Zheng still felt that the gift was so big compared with him. However, he had failed to take off the bracelet, so he gave up. He stood up and bowed to the crystal coffin again,

– “Thank you for your treasures.”

The kitten moved out from An Zheng’s chest and climbed up on his shoulder. It looked around, and the stars reflecting in its eyes were s.h.i.+nier. It rubbed his head onAn Zheng as if it had asked An Zheng to look at the seven dried corpses.

The seven dried corpses still sat cross-legged and closed their eyes. At the first sight, they seemed to be different from each other, older or younger, but they were really similar to each other by the longswords on their back.

– “What? How greedy you are!”
