After purchasing the three crystal balls, Mu Chen did not want to open them immediately in case they attracted unwanted attention. Although he was not afraid of it, it would be a headache when there were already endless troubles.

Moreover, he did not want that skinny man to know his unique way of opening the balls. If the latter harbored other intentions, it would be yet another bother. Hence, he kept the crystal balls and called out to the group. The skinny man watched with regret as they quickly left.

“The basic ingredients are almost done. We still have about two days before we can reach the Myriad Beasts Tomb. Since it’s getting dark, I suggest we rest a day here. Tomorrow we will make our way again,” suggested Han Shan, bringing the two groups together.

Mu Chen had no objections. He wanted to find a safe place to unlock the three crystal balls he had just gotten. The trading point might attract unwanted attention, but it was still safer when compared to the wild.

Seeing no objections from the group, he brought them to the west of the free trading point. There were stone towers everywhere. Some of the stone towers were taken by people as the various top powers temporarily rested there.

The group found an empty stone tower and settled down. They each found an individual space for themselves to rest and cultivate. Mu Chen sat cross-legged in one corner. He swung his sleeves, and three clear crystal balls appeared in front of him.

There were another three black crystals within the balls. Runes, suspected to be the seals, could be vaguely seen on the black crystals.

On the other side, the rest of the group watched with great interest. They wanted to know what treasures could be found inside the three crystal balls.

Han Shan also noticed what Mu Chen was doing. Previously, he knew that Mu Chen had gotten his Phoenix Flame Essence through a crystal ball. He was rather envious of it. After all, the value of one Phoenix Flame Essence was way more than 500,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

Mu Chen did not mind them looking. He randomly picked one and crashed the first layer of crystal. The cold, black crystal then fell into his hands. On the surface of the black crystal, a dark red rune was protruding out. The fluctuation was the same as what he had felt previously. Apparently, it must have been engraved by the blood of some Sovereign Divine Beasts.

Mu Chen paused for a moment and once again, he made a simple, mini exquisite spiritual array like before. Following the previous method he had used, he slowly adjusted his strength from the real dragon and real phoenix spirits to slowly erode the seal.

Mu Chen closed his eyes for a moment. Then he opened them suddenly again, as he could feel the movement of the seal on the black crystal in his hand.

He no longer hesitated. He gripped the crystal tightly and circulated the spiritual energy that was infused into the crystal. Immediately, the spiritual energy triggered an explosion within the black crystal. Light beams lasered out.

When the light finally disappeared, everyone narrowed their eyes. A dark violet light gathered in Mu Chen’s palm. As the violet light glowed brighter, it transformed into a suit of long, slender, dark purple armor. On the armor, ancient symbols and runes of different depths could be found. The armor was quietly exuding a mysterious, yet stunning fluctuation.

The entire suit of armor seemed to fit a woman, as the cut was slim and slender.

Mu Chen was a little amazed by the dark purple armor. He injected a little of his spiritual energy and instantly, a violent spiritual fluctuation was evoked, forming layers of spiritual energy as a shield around it.

Boom!

Mu Chen curled his fingers into a fist and punched the armor hard. The layers of shield pulsed out, at the same time offsetting the energy of the fist. By the time his fist touched the shield, only a fist print was left on it that quickly disappeared.

“That’s a strong defense!” Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed when he saw it. His fist did not seem dangerous, but a Grade Six Sovereign would puke blood and sustain injuries if they got hit by it. However, this armor blocked all the impact from it.

“Wonderful treasure! And, it could help increase spiritual energy,” exclaimed Mu Chen. This armor not only had a strong defense power, it could also increase spiritual energy and in turn, enhance combat effectiveness.

Just with these two advantages, the armor was already comparable to any of those Magnificent Grade Divine Artifacts, and it could only be better. Its value was worth much more than the 500,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

“Good stuff!” Han Shan’s eyes brightened up when he saw it, too.

Mu Chen smiled and flicked his finger. Since this was female armor, the armor flew towards Nine Nether. Her combat strength would greatly increase again if she had the armor.
