Mu Chen was shocked when he saw that both he and Ink Ring were eyeing the black stone that looked like an egg. The black stone that seemed burned looked ordinary. However, when Mu Chen saw it, he could indistinctly feel a strange fluctuation within the black stone.

Ink Ring’s eyes brightened, and she pulled Mu Chen’s sleeve and said softly, “Brother Mu Chen, there is Phoenix Flame Essence in the black stone!”

“Phoenix Flame Essence?” Mu Chen was shocked. Only the Phoenix Clan had this flame, and it was overbearing. The Phoenix Flame Essence was the essence that had been refined by the Phoenix Flame, and it was beneficial to those who cultivated fire property spiritual energy. It was a rare treasure.

He was shocked that Ink Ring knew what was inside the seal when he could only feel the strange fluctuation in it. “How do you know?” Mu Chen asked through telepathy.

Ink Ring winked and said happily, “I have innate sensory power and can see through every seal.”

Mu Chen was shocked to learn that Ink Ring had such an innate ability. No wonder she could tell him exactly what was inside the black stone.

The Phoenix Flame Essence easily cost more than 500,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid drops, and those who cultivated the fire property spiritual energy would desire to possess it.

Mu Chen looked at Ink Ring and asked, “Would you like to have it?”

Ink Ring was from the Phoenix Clan, and she possessed the Phoenix Flame. If she could have the Phoenix Flame Essence, it would do her much good.

Ink Ring nodded but she said shyly, “However, I don’t have that much Sovereign Spiritual Liquid… moreover, even if we know what is inside, I may not be able to break the seal.”

A 30 percent success rate was too low. If she failed to break the seal, it would be destroyed.

“We have to give it a try.” Mu Chen smiled. Ever since they entered the Land of the Divine Beasts, Mu Chen was the one who had gained the most. Ink Blade had entered the Body-refining Tower, so it was still fine for him. However, Nine Nether and Ink Ring had not gained anything after they had waited for so long.

Mu Chen did not have to stand on ceremony with Nine Nether, but he felt guilty about Ink Ring. He was willing to part with 500,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid drops since Ink Ring managed to find something that she needed.

Having said that, Mu Chen immediately drew the crystal ball with the black stone to his hand. At the same time, he waved his sleeve and threw a jade bottle to the skinny man who was sitting under the stone tree. The skinny man took the jade bottle and nodded. He flicked his fingers and cut off the spiritual energy light beam that connected the crystal ball to him.

Mu Chen crushed the crystal ball, and the hot black stone landed in his hand. The surface of the black stone was rough, and it seemed to have been burned. Ancient runes formed by the seal were on its surface. It looked mysterious.

Mu Chen grabbed a hold of the black stone and shut his eyes. He used his spiritual energy to check the ancient seal. After a long while, he opened his eyes and frowned. The seal was intriguing. It would be easy to break it by force, but before he could do that, it might perish on its own and destroy whatever was in it. He had to think of a special method to break the seal in order to preserve whatever was inside.

“A special material has been used for the seal.” After going over it for some time, Mu Chen realized that the runes were the answer. The runes were dark red in color, and they contained a special oppression.

“The runes are formed by the blood of Sovereign Divine Beasts… no wonder they have remained intact after so many millennia.”

After Mu Chen had studied the black stone, he realized that the oppression came from the Sovereign Divine Beasts. Although the smell had faded, he was familiar with it, as he possessed the spirit of the real dragon and real phoenix.

“Brother Mu Chen, how is it? Can you break the seal?” Ink Ring asked. Those people who were around them stared at Mu Chen and were looking forward to seeing what this squanderer had gotten for his 500,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid drops.

The skinny man looked at him as well, and he indistinctly felt that these items were valuable. He had thought of trying his luck and breaking all the seals to see if he could get some treasures from them. However, he had been unlucky and had not gotten anything from the seals that he had broken.

In the end, he stopped trying, as he had developed a phobia. He was afraid that he would fail and waste his efforts, so he might as well sell them in exchange for some Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

After Mu Chen had pondered for a long while, he said, “I can try to.”
