“This is the last piece, and also the most important one,” Xue Ying displayed a pendant containing a transparent sphere within. “This pendant could store up to a Heaven mage’s worth of magic power. After all, as you do not have much magic power, using all the various mage equipment would be very taxing on your body. Thus, use the time now to store up enough energy for use in critical situations.”

“Mn.” Qing Shi nodded.

Big brother really is too thoughtful.

“But using all the various mage equipment is still ultimately an external aid!” Xue Ying spoke, “Your own strength is still very important.”

Even with all that mage equipment, to a powerful Knight, especially one above Meteor rank, Qing Shi’s life would still be threatened. At the very most, these items would allow Qing Shi to triumph over anyone e below the rank of Meteor! Regardless, due to the instantaneous casting of the matrices built into in the equipment, he could still barely fight against a Meteor knight.

“Brother, I understand. These pieces of equipment are very powerful, even teacher does not own so much mage equipment,” Qing Shi exclaimed.

“This storage treasure ring was obtained by me recently. It contains a huge space, and is practically priceless. Remember, don’t let others see it.” Xue Ying then took out a black ring, “You are now a genuine mage, so remember to cast some spell to camouflage the ring to prevent others from finding out what it is.”

Although its appearance was nothing special, Xue Ying was still extremely vigilant on this matter.

One must know, the value of a storage treasure ring with a one meter radius was already ten of thousands of gold coins! This ring had a three meter radius of storage… this was simply amazing! It could go for a million gold coins! This number was simply frightening. For a storage ring of this level… usually only Legend rankers were able to have one. Even some nobles and rich merchants did not have the capability of owning such a storage treasure ring.

And as for those rings within the hands of Legend rankers, few could compare to the size of the storage ring given to Qing Shi!

“It’s this big?” Qing Shi tried infusing his magic power into the ring and immediately, became wide-eyed, “S… So big!”

Refining a storage treasure was an extremely difficult task.

Refining small storage treasures could easily be done with some simple refining methods. As for those storage treasure rings with a very large space… one would require the aid of a Transcendent mage who was extremely proficient in the laws of space to ensure the dimension created was big and stable. After all, inscripting such a dimension into a storage ring was a very difficult task, ensuring the value of any such rings to be priceless.

Qing Shi was a mage, and thus, he certainly understood how precious this storage treasure ring was.

“Brother, how did you obtain it?” Qing Shi asked curiously, “This is really big…”

“Haha, as I’ve said, this time’s venture outside the castle was very rewarding,” Xue Ying laughed, “You should spend some time to study the spell scrolls within the ring as well. They are considered to be worthless to Uncle Zong, Uncle Tong and me, so all of them will be yours. After all, these items are life-saving treasures, so remember to study them meticulously.”

Spell scrolls were something even more rebellious against the laws of nature.

Taking out a spell scroll and infusing one’s magic power into it, with a ‘hong’, one could cast an extremely powerful spell instantaneously! However, the drawback of such scrolls was that they were single-use.

Thus, using spell scrolls was actually equivalent to throwing gold away!

Regardless, such scrolls were still in high demand in the markets. After all, during critical situations, a mage might not have the time to slowly chant out the spell for casting powerful magic, but they could utilise the scroll’s instantaneous casting ability to save their own life! What Xue Ying was giving to his brother was actually all the scrolls that were collected after many years of battle by the Demonic God Emissary.

“Big brother, these spell scrolls are too precious already!” Qing Shi could not take in everything at the moment after realising that every single scroll within were at least of the fifth-grade. As for whether there were higher grade spell scrolls, he would have to carefully look through the entire inventory.

“I’m kind of afraid.” Qing Shi was worried.

So many treasures in his hands would certainly make him wary of everything.

“What are you afraid of?” Xue Ying shook his head, “Go and categorize all the various spell scrolls based on their killing power, from high to low. Use them only when you need to! During life and death situation, surviving is still more important.”

“Mn.” Qing Shi nodded.

“Camouflage the ring and bring the scrolls with you everywhere. So long you don’t leak out that you are carrying so many treasures, coupled with Uncle Tong, Uncle Zong and me not telling a single soul, no one will know about it.” Xue Ying warned, “Remember, do not ever tell anyone about what you have! Even if it’s that little girlfriend of yours…”

Within Snowrock Castle…

Xue Ying truly trusted the three men before his very eyes. Uncle Zong and Uncle Tong would sacrifice themselves for his parents at anytime, and were considered to be his family. As for his own little brother, their relationship was so close that nothing needed to be mentioned. It was just that his brother was still too young and might go out boasting to everyone. That was why Xue Ying was currently trying to remind his brother again and again of the importance of the matter.

“Brother, don’t worry. I understand. I won’t tell a single soul.” Qing Shi said.

“Haha, don’t be so nervous. These are, after all, just some goods. Your own inner strength is still more important.” Xue Ying smiled at him. He treated these items given as mere items after all.

However, Qing Shi had very complex feelings within his heart.

Before, his girlfriend said so much crap, yet now, his brother gave so many gifts. The total value was so high that what his teacher earned over so many years could not even compare to a tenth of what he now had.

“Brother, can I hug you?” Qing Shi came walking towards his brother, hugging him tightly.

“This brat…” Xue Ying hugged his brother back, patting his head softly.

When they were young, Qing Shi would always hug him even in his sleep.

But as they grew up over the years, it had been a while since they had hugged.

“Mn. Good.” Qing Shi looked upwards with a grin, “Brother, I’ll go back first and study those scrolls.” Having said that, he turned around and ran out.

Xue Ying looked towards the door as his brother ran out, before frowning.

“It’s time for us to leave as well. Xue Ying, sleep early.” Tong San stated.

“Close the doors first. I’ve something to tell you all,” Xue Ying was still frowning.

Zong Ling closed the door, before the two of them looked towards Xue Ying.

“I feel that Qing Shi is behaving differently today.” Xue Ying said, “Even though he acted normal, having watched him grow up all these years, I can see through his acts the moment he blinks. Furthermore, he hugged me at the end… confirming my guess that something is strange.”
