To increase his persuasiveness and make Wang Baole ignore the fact that he didn’t know much about the paper human cutout, Shan Lingzi gave an example.

“Master, I didn’t dare reveal that I had the imitation of the Galaxy Bow previously. If not, with the bow’s value, if I could have sold it safely, I could have bought a thousand civilizations. In fact, if I contacted Star Domain realm mighty figures, I could have used it to exchange for a favor from them. But I would have had to be able to withstand it and have the right to have such a favor. If not, it would have been all too easy for me to be swallowed alive…” Shan Lingzi felt a little bitter in his heart. He lost precisely because he didn’t have that right.

Although he was a Planet realm, he didn’t have much background within the Never-Ending Clan. Because of that, even though he possessed an absolute treasure, he still had to tread very carefully and dared not reveal it. As for presenting it to his higher-ups, he dared not do that either. That was more dangerous than simply revealing that he possessed the Galaxy Bow imitation. That was because he knew that he couldn’t survive getting checked and would get his other two items confiscated as well.

A favor from a Star Domain realm mighty figure? Wang Baole had a weird expression. When Shan Lingzi told him it could be exchanged for a thousand civilizations, he thought it was really valuable. But after hearing the second half of the sentence, he suddenly thought that it wasn’t that valuable.

After all, his senior brother was at least a Star Domain realm mighty figure. Wang Baole felt that even if he wanted thousands of favors… it wouldn’t be too difficult.

If Shan Lingzi knew all his thoughts, he would probably have spit out a mouthful of blood. Truly, the difference between them was even greater than the distance between heaven and earth.

“That’s enough. Tell me about the bottle.” Wang Baole waved his hand and asked about the mysterious little bottle. In reality, Shan Lingzi’s judgment about the three items in the storage ring was incorrect. What Wang Baole cared most about was neither the paper human cutout nor the Galaxy Bow.

He only cared about the former because it was weird and connected to the Graveyard of Stars, which he actually cared about. As for the latter… Wang Baole felt that he had no use for it now, so it was enough to just know its value.

The item he really cared about was the little bottle. His instincts told him that the mysteriousness of the bottle might far exceed that of the paper human cutout.

In reality, that was indeed the case because… Shan Lingzi, who kept recounting information smoothly from the start, paused at that moment. He didn’t do it on purpose, as it was simply his instinct that made him do so. But after seeing the hostility in Wang Baole’s gaze, he shuddered and immediately told him everything he knew, not daring to hide anything.

“Master… I don’t know the origins of the little bottle. I couldn’t find any clues about the item from any ancient literature. I only know that this bottle seems to have existed for an extremely long time. And its use… according to my many years of research, I finally found something. This item seems to be… a wishing bottle!” Shan Lingzi spoke carefully. He feared that he wasn’t detailed enough and thus elaborated.

“The bottle can’t be opened, and the words on the paper in it have become blurry. I can’t see what’s written on the paper…”

The words are unclear? Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and took a close look at Shan Lingzi. He didn’t think that Shan Lingzi would deceive him about that, but he remembered seeing the words “a rich person” in it previously.

This made Wang Baole feel astonished in his heart, but he didn’t display it at all in his expression.

“I can’t see the words clearly, but I can confirm that this is a wishing bottle. It’s just that it’s only effective occasionally. Sometimes, it doesn’t work… However, when it’s actually effective, while it grants the wish of the one who made it, unimaginable side effects descend…” Speaking to that point, bitterness and fear appeared in Shan Lingzi’s eyes as though some horrifying side effects had happened to him before.

“Side effects?” Wang Baole raised his eyebrows.

“You must have wished successfully before. Tell me about the side effects!”

Shan Lingzi immediately went silent. After a while, he seemed to lose all his strength as he lowered his head and spoke softly.

“Master, I used to… be a female cultivator.”

“Female cultivator? The heck? What are you saying… Ugh…” Wang Baole didn’t really understand Shan Lingzi’s words at first, but when he was halfway through his sentence, Wang Baole stared wide and looked blankly at Shan Lingzi’s soul. Confusion appeared in his eyes.

“Female? You used to be a female?”
