(Requesting monthly tickets at the end of the month) _1 “There are a total of five sealed objects, all of which have been identified, among them two are C-level, one D-level, and two E-level… Of course, you can also go find an artifact refiner to identify them yourself.”


    In the small courtyard.


    Bai Hu laid out the five sealing objects in front of Pei Jinye.


    A palm-sized hourglass, a jade fan, a cast iron pan about the size of two palms resembling a flat pan, and two jade swords.


    Bai Hu identified them in front of Pei Jinye.


    She didn’t even know that Pei Jinye also had artifact refining skills, not as proficient as her, but still able to judge the strength of these five sealing objects.


    “Sis has personally appraised them, why would I need to find someone else?” Pei Jinye chuckled, looking very trusting.


    This made Bai Hu quite pleased.


    “Pick one.”


    She gestured for him to look.


    Pei Jinye picked up the two jade swords and asked, “You know about these sealing objects, right? These swords seem interesting.”


    Bai Hu glanced at him, took the swords from his hands, and then said, “These two swords belong to a set. The records name them as the Thunder Magnetic Sword. After refining, they can strike with lightning. They should have more than just these two swords, so right now they’re only considered as C-level sealed objects. If you can collect the rest in other ruins, they might reach A-level or even S-level… Personally, I suggest you give refining them a try since you’re already a swordsman.”


    Without any hesitation, Pei Jinye accepted them.


    “Pick another one. That’s what we agreed on,” Bai Hu was generous.


    Pei Jinye looked at her with a smile, “If sis says so, then it would be quite rude to refuse.”


    Bai Hu rolled her eyes at him, then went on, “This hourglass is an E-level sealed object, it can slow down targets within a one-meter radius, akin to a sort of mental disturbance.”


    Pei Jinye nodded.


    The item didn’t even match the range of his Psychic Pluto Burst, clearly underwhelming.


    After finishing her explanation, Bai Hu picked up the jade fan.


    “This fan can create a gust of wind within three meters.”


    Pei Jinye mentally rejected it again.


    He has an elemental amplification of three hundred times.


    A mere three meters of wind… was nothing to him.


    His gaze naturally fell upon the flat pan that Bai Hu was now holding.


    Even Bai Hu seemed hesitant now, “This thing… to be honest, the material is good. If it could be transformed into armor, that would be nice, but the pan is too small, just the size of your two palms.”


    Pei Jinye took the flat pan from Bai Hu, weighed it in his hands, and murmured, “Could serve as a brick for a sneak attack, unbreakable.”


    “…” Bai Hu glanced at him, seemingly again feeling like Pei Jinye wasn’t kidding, so she said, “Clean it, sterilize it, maybe it will make cooking more flavorful.”


    “Good idea, then I’ll take it,” Pei Jinye made up his mind swiftly.


    Bai Hu thought he was just being polite and suggested, “Don’t feel embarrassed, this operation you saw for yourself. The Ninth Rank were lurking in the shadows, and it wasn’t without danger. You can pick either the jade fan or the hourglass without any worries.”


    Pei Jinye considered his options.


    Realizing the misunderstanding, he picked up the flat pan, “If it really bothers you that much, sis, why not just give them all to me?”


    “Scram.”


    “Got it.”


    Pei Jinye turned to leave.


    But after a few steps, he paused again, “What about the data on your side? Have you guys finished analyzing it? Can I take a look to broaden my horizons?”


    “The past data has been sealed and even I have a hard time accessing it,” Bai Hu shook her head as she spoke, “Don’t get your hopes up, our Old Gods Association has always been slow developing in this area, currently we only have the information that is known to the Federation.”


    “Like what?” Pei Jinye’s curiosity was piqued.


    Bai Hu looked at him and said, “Let’s put it this way, for now, we only mastered seven ancient characters…”


    She displayed the seven ancient characters on the tablet…


    “These seven characters are… Dao, Fei, Wan, Mu, Wu, Ming, Xuan,” Bai Hu continued, “Our Old Gods Association is many years behind organizations like the Federation and the Holy Alliance in studying ancient ruins… It’s related to historical legacy issues. It’s too complicated to explain. The reason we started these studies is that our member once found a part of a mural in the ancient ruins. According to the mural, during an undefined era, cultivation existed.”


    “Cultivation?” Pei Jinye looked puzzled, “Are you sure it’s cultivation?”


    Who knew Bai Hu would just shrug, “Who knows, but I’m keeping an open mind.”


    Pei Jinye looked on.


    Bai Hu said unconcernedly with a smile, “Think about it, the Federation under the control of the Star Ring has been studying the ancient ruins for how many years, and what are the results? We haven’t seen a single cultivator… If you say an Extraordinary Ninth Rank is very powerful, that’s true, but that’s nothing compared to the mural depicting powers that could create heavens and earth.”


    “Perhaps the inspiration for Extraordinary Abilities is related to cultivation, but we currently know nothing about the Federation’s top-secret information,” she looked at Pei Jinye.


    Pei Jinye said indifferently, “Don’t count on me. If the Federation was that easy to infiltrate, there’d be no need to count on a newbie like me.”


    “Are you still a newbie? Even an Extraordinary Seventh Rank is no match for you,” Bai Hu teased, “Didn’t someone say before that slaying Ninth Ranks is like slaughtering chickens? What happened to that bravado now?”


    “Nonsense, is that the same thing?” Pei Jinye responded irritably.


    The Old Gods Association had countless talents.


    Even so, they couldn’t find a chance to pry into the Federation’s top-secret information.


    Let alone him.


    He had the power to fight an Extraordinary Ninth Rank, but not without a cost.


    Moreover, he felt that to get his hands on this kind of top-secret information, he’d inevitably have to “bump into” the Star Ring.


    The last encounter had already expended more than one-third of his Mother God Stone’s power.


    Now, the power of the Mother God Stone could only support one full-fledged outburst.


    He didn’t want to waste it.


    It wasn’t a matter of life and death.


    Surviving to develop was in line with his current path of growth.


    Bai Hu glanced at him, then turned her gaze to the containers holding the information. “Have you looked through the data here?”


    “I have, but I didn’t understand it,” Pei Jinye shook his head and said.


    Bai Hu nodded, “We lack experts in data analysis, otherwise our progress could be a bit faster.”


    “Who is in charge of the information you have at the moment? Could there be any problems?” Pei Jinye asked with concern.


    Bai Hu gave him a look, “It’s in the hands of the president. Don’t get any funny ideas, okay? At that level… let me put it this way, even Elder Wuji would give way to him.”


    “Even among Ninth Rank there are levels of strength?” Pei Jinye clearly noticed this distinction.


    Bai Hu nodded, “The Ninth Rank is just the dividing line from the Eighth Rank. Above the Ninth Rank, you have no idea how strong some can be… Some accumulate Element Series powers; they may both be Ninth Rank, but one has profound depth while the other is relatively weaker.”


    Noticing that Pei Jinye was pondering something.


    Bai Hu said meaningfully, “The most terrifying thing in this world is the Extraordinary Ninth Rank; you never know just how strong some people’s foundation can be.”


    “Does that mean, the longer you live, the more foundation you can build?” Pei Jinye asked.


    Bai Hu shrugged, “In theory, yes. But things that can indefinitely extend one’s life… I haven’t really seen many. Those that do appear are almost always controlled by those old monsters.”


    But Pei Jinye wasn’t worried.


    He had the Attribute Light Group, if ten Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragments weren’t enough for synthesis, then a hundred would be!


    He was bound to meet the condition!


    After a moment.


    Pei Jinye left with all his spoils of war.


    Bai Hu watched him for a moment.


    The Spirit Fox hurried over, bowed her head, and said respectfully, “Master.”


    “How is it going?” Bai Hu picked up the cooled teacup, didn’t drink, but warmed up the tea slightly with a little effort.


    “The War Angels have already been deployed, and they will encircle us in the coming days.” The Spirit Fox said cautiously, looking at Bai Hu, “Master, some of the other Elders have complaints, saying you shouldn’t have taken action.”


    “Do you think the same?” Bai Hu asked indifferently.


    The Spirit Fox hastily replied, “Of course not, Master. It’s those Elders who are short-sighted and fail to understand the painstaking efforts you’ve made.”


    Bai Hu chuckled softly, “You’re half right. Those people are indeed short-sighted, but my painstaking efforts are not for them.”


    She turned around.


    Looking at the Spirit Fox, “An Extraordinary Seventh Rank War Angel can’t even last 15 seconds against the Demon King. Among the new generation of God Sons, who do you think can stand equal to him?”


    The Spirit Fox’s heart trembled.


    Is the Demon King really that strong?


    A moment of silence followed.


    “Master, the Demon King’s growth rate is way too fast…”


    “I know,” Bai Hu said with a light laugh, “Who doesn’t have secrets these days? Don’t you have any?”


    The Spirit Fox quickly bowed her head.


    Bai Hu withdrew her gaze and mused, “Betting on the Demon King, I don’t think it’s a risk. But it’s curious that the president has never inquired about the Demon King’s affairs. That’s something to ponder about.”


    The Spirit Fox didn’t dare to make a sound.


    “Forget it,” Bai Hu instructed, “Take care of the aftermath, and don’t leave any loose ends.”


    “Yes.”


    …


    …


    In Central State, Da Peng City.


    When Pei Jinye returned to the Jiang family, the TV was broadcasting news that the Western Continent Archaeological Site had been invaded by a Rebel Organization. Elites from all walks of life were almost unanimously condemning the act of destroying the ancient site.


    Pei Jinye noted an interesting point.


    On the Federation’s report, the existence of the Holy Alliance was completely omitted, pinning the whole affair squarely on the Old Gods Association.


    Had they not discovered it?


    That was absolutely impossible.


    It only meant that they wanted to divert all firepower onto the Old Gods Association alone.


    “Interesting.”


    Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze and didn’t continue to pay attention.


    Before long.


    Zhong Xuan arrived with Lin Xinorth.


    “Boss,” Lin Xinorth greeted respectfully.


    “Sit down. Zhong Xuan, add a set of cutlery for him,” Pei Jinye signaled.


    “Yes, boss.”


    Once Zhong Xuan had left, Lin Xinorth reported on the recent arrangements.


    Everything was in preparation for Pei Jinye’s departure from Da Peng City.

    “Boss, it seems that our production line for the simulators has attracted attention. Right now the other party can’t confirm if we are producing anything, but there are some unfamiliar faces around the production line,” Lin Xinorth said.


    Pei Jinye was concise, “Send Xin Cheng there, and make it clean.”


    No need for investigations, just eliminate all loose ends!


    And Lin Xinorth seemed to have already accustomed himself to the boss’s straightforward approach.


    “Yes.”
