Li Feng’s divine sense surged towards the ring and discovered that it was indeed a spatial ring. The space inside was roughly the size of a house, large enough to hold a great many things.
Like a spatial pouch, the benefits of a spatial ring went far beyond mere convenience. It could also conceal valuable items. Unless someone forcibly seized it, no one could possibly discover what was inside. Unlike a spatial pouch, however, a spatial ring was an upgraded version. Not only was the internal space much larger, but even if the owner died, the contents would not spill out like dropped equipment. Unless one possessed divine sense, an ordinary person could not open it.
What disappointed Li Feng was that the spatial ring was completely empty. There was nothing inside at all.
Since Li Feng knew that anyone capable of owning a spatial ring was no ordinary person, the fact that it now held nothing suggested that the previous owner had, for some special reason, transferred everything out. Naturally, nothing remained.
Oh well. One should not be too greedy.
Obtaining this spatial ring was already the greatest harvest.
“How is it?” Ge Feng, Ge Ying, and the others watched Li Feng nervously.
“It is a spatial ring. The space inside is at least a hundred square metres, but there is nothing in it.” Li Feng said with some regret.
“It really is a spatial ring? How could the Hongmen leave a spatial ring here?” Ge Feng and Ge Ying exclaimed in delight.
“Probably the Hongmen themselves did not know it was a spatial ring. As you said earlier, only someone with divine sense can detect it. In this Tianhai City, there are likely no Innate experts among the Hongmen.” Li Feng thought of Xue Ying. Xue Ying probably did not even know this ring existed. Otherwise, it would long ago have fallen into his hands.
Ge Feng nodded.
“I am just curious where the Hongmen got this ring from. If it came from tomb robbing, then that tomb must be extraordinary.” Li Feng said gravely.
“That is easy. We can simply ask the person in charge of the Hongmen here.” Ge Feng said.
“The person in charge of the Hongmen.” A glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes as he turned to Mu Jiajia. “Mu Jiajia, go tell Tian Lang to leave a few alive. I want to know where this spatial ring came from.”
“Yes.” Mu Jiajia did not dare delay and quickly left the secret room.
“Li Feng, you mean to…” Ge Feng reacted, somewhat understanding what Li Feng intended.
“Exactly. If this spatial ring was obtained by the Hongmen through tomb robbing, then that tomb must be remarkable. I believe there are definitely other things inside. When we have time, we should go and take a look.” Li Feng said solemnly.
Whether tomb robbing or archaeology, to Li Feng, as long as it benefited him, he would not give it up.
For martial artists, exploring the tombs of predecessors was one way to improve cultivation.
“Good, good. A tomb that contains a spatial ring cannot be an ordinary one. We must go and see it when we get the chance.” Ge Ying said with excitement.
“Then you will need to cultivate diligently. Otherwise, even if you obtain a spatial ring, you will not be able to use it.” Li Feng smiled at Ge Ying.
“Hmph, I am already at Post-Heaven Fifth Layer now. I believe it will not take many years to reach the Innate Realm. Then I will have divine sense and be able to use a spatial ring.” Ge Ying huffed delicately.
“Who says one must reach the Innate Realm to possess divine sense?” Li Feng said.
“How else could one possess divine sense without reaching the Innate Realm…” Ge Ying had not finished speaking when she realised. Li Feng was not yet an Innate expert, yet he possessed divine sense.
“Not just me. The Blood Kill Twin Eagles are only at Post-Heaven Seventh Layer, but they also possess divine sense.” Li Feng said gravely.
“What?” Ge Feng and Ge Ying looked incredulous. If Li Feng having divine sense was due to his monstrous talent, what about the Blood Kill Twin Eagles? They were not as monstrous as Li Feng.
“Li Feng, how can one possess divine sense below the Innate Realm?” Ge Feng asked solemnly.
“To possess divine sense, one must open the sea of consciousness. This is an extremely difficult process. We can discuss it after we leave here.” Li Feng smiled. In this life, his divine sense was innate, but in his previous life, he had experience opening the sea of consciousness, so Ge Feng’s question did not stump him.
“Right. Look at me, forgetting where we are.” Ge Feng came to his senses and smiled sheepishly.
Li Feng’s gaze fell on the parchment scroll. He picked it up and unrolled it, but he could not understand a single character.
“Ge Feng, take a look. Is this oracle bone script?” Li Feng handed the scroll to Ge Feng.
Ge Feng glanced at it and said, “This is indeed oracle bone script from the Middle Ancient era. If this parchment appeared together with the ring, then that tomb really is extraordinary. It might even be a Middle Ancient era tomb.”
“That is impossible. This clothing is from the Han Dynasty, which was in the Near Ancient era. Could it be that these items did not come together?” Ge Ying said.
“This…” Ge Feng was also puzzled.
“Alright, there is no need for us to speculate. We will know once we ask the Hongmen people in a moment.” Li Feng said indifferently. Among the four items, Li Feng felt the clothing was the most useless, followed by the wooden staff.
“Yes.” Ge Feng and Ge Ying nodded.
“The third box yielded a spatial ring and this mysterious parchment scroll. So, what is in the last box?” Li Feng’s gaze fell on the fourth box. Earlier, when his divine sense had scanned the entire secret room, this fourth box had blocked it. Thus, he felt whatever was inside was no simple matter.
“We will know once we open it.” Ge Ying said.
Li Feng opened the box.
“What is this? An egg?” Everyone stared dumbfounded at the contents. The previous boxes had contained jade, spiritual herbs, and a spatial ring, so they had expected something precious in this one. Instead, it held an enormous egg.
Indeed, it was a huge egg, about one metre in size. Li Feng and the others had never seen an egg so large.
“Is this an egg? Could it be a fossil?” Ge Ying said hesitantly.
“A fossil? That is possible. After all, I have never even heard of an egg this big.” Ge Feng nodded.
“Old Lin, what do you think this egg is?” Li Feng looked up at Lin Ge. Having formerly been an Innate Third Layer expert, Lin Ge was widely experienced and knew far more than they did.
Lin Ge examined the egg carefully, then shook his head. “Young master, I do not know what egg this is either.”
“Li Feng, just crack this egg open and we will know. If it really is an egg, we can eat it. I want to try what such a huge egg tastes like.” Ge Ying said excitedly.
Li Feng was speechless. Upon seeing the egg, Ge Ying’s first thought was to eat it?
But Li Feng had no intention of eating it. When his divine sense had scanned the box, the box itself was ordinary and could not block divine sense. Therefore, what had blocked his scan could only be the egg.
An egg capable of blocking an Innate Realm divine sense scan could not possibly be ordinary. Clearly, it was not.
So, just what egg was this?
Li Feng thought for a while but could not figure it out. He could only bury the question in his heart for now.
“Li Feng, how will you handle this egg?” Ge Feng also asked.
“Keep it for now. When we have time, we can research it.” Li Feng said.
“Yes, that is fine too.” Ge Feng nodded.
Li Feng used the spatial ring to store all four boxes, then said to the three, “Let us go see the person in charge of Yuxing Lake. Ask if they have anything else we want.”
“Good.”
The four left the secret room and returned to the main hall of Yuxing Lake.
At that moment, Mu Jiajia and Tian Lang were speaking about something in the hall. Two middle-aged men were bound on the floor, watched by several Black Eagle team members nearby.
“Young Master Feng.” Seeing Li Feng and the others emerge, Tian Lang immediately stopped talking to Mu Jiajia.
Li Feng nodded, glanced at the two bound middle-aged men, and said gravely, “They are the ones in charge of Yuxing Lake?”
“Yes, Young Master Feng. One is the general manager of Yuxing Lake, the other the deputy general manager. It took quite some effort to capture them earlier.” Tian Lang nodded.
“Who are you people? Do you know who we are?” Seeing Li Feng appear and hearing Tian Lang’s words, the two men’s expressions changed. The one wearing glasses looked at Li Feng and said solemnly.
“You are merely the general manager and deputy general manager of Yuxing Lake. Which one of you is the general manager?” Li Feng glanced at them, a sharp glint in his eyes.
“Hmph, you mix in the underworld too, right? Do you not know that Yuxing Lake is Hongmen territory? We are high-level members of the Hongmen. Offend us, and you will regret it bitterly.” The man with glasses stared coldly at Li Feng.
“Hongmen?” Li Feng gave a disdainful cold laugh. “I truly do not put the Hongmen in my eyes. Now, I have a few questions for you. If you answer obediently, perhaps I will let you live. If you do not cooperate, then this time next year will be your death anniversary.”
“Hmph, who do you think you are? If you do not want to die, release us at once. Otherwise, you and your entire family will die.” The other middle-aged man snorted coldly.
“You do not know what is good for you.”
Li Feng’s gaze turned icy as he waved his hand and struck.
Smack!
With a crisp sound, the middle-aged man was sent flying by Li Feng’s slap, crashing onto a nearby coffee table and shattering it completely.
“You…” The man with glasses looked at Li Feng, a trace of fear in his eyes.
Li Feng stared at him with a chilling gaze. “Now I will ask you a few questions. I hope your answers satisfy me. Otherwise, hmph, I will let you know what it means to wish for death.”
