Chapter 739: Chapter 637: Leaving Seclusion
The chest is large, nearly half as tall as a person, with a heavy gold lock hanging from it.
Qin An stared at the chest and said, "Your Highness, is this meant for me?"
The Third Prince visited late at night, carrying a chest, and given the current situation, it was easy for Qin An to think that this chest might be brought for him.
Currently, the Crown Prince and Second Prince are targeting him, plus there are many experts wanting to challenge him; it’s impossible for there to be no movement from the Third Prince’s side.
And something the Third Prince could offer would surely not be trivial; it might even change the current situation.
The Third Prince nodded slightly, without wasting words, raising his hand to the lock on the chest.
A wisp of Void Essence burst forth from the Third Prince’s palm, soaking into the exquisite yet heavy lock, which was then opened by the Void Essence immediately.
Without further ado, the Third Prince opened the chest in front of Qin An.
A burst of dazzling brilliance appeared, accompanied by a strong Qi Blood Power.
The chest was filled with rows of astonishing items.
Demon Cache.
Things left by demons or Pseudo-Gods who died after reaching the Unity Realm, are referred to as Demon Cache.
What is a cache? It means treasure.
Each Demon Cache contains the Qi Blood of one hundred Demon Profounds.
The chest held a total of a hundred Demon Caches, each one being an extremely precious treasure for cultivators.
After all, each Demon Cache represents the death of a demon or Pseudo-God in the Unity Realm.
The Third Prince raised his eyes and said, "I know you are now facing an unimaginable crisis, but the help I can give you is very limited, only in this aspect can I give you a hand."
"I know you have the skill to burn Qi Blood; these Demon Caches I’ve spent half my life collecting, they are all yours, hoping you can rely on these Demon Caches to successfully overcome this crisis."
Even though he’s a prince and an exceedingly noble presence in the Daqian Kingdom, collecting these Demon Caches was extremely difficult even for him.
Thus, these hundred Demon Caches were indeed the Third Prince’s limit.
Qin An showed a look of contemplation, then nodded slightly, saying: "Thank you for your help, Your Highness, I accept graciously."
For Qin An, skill proficiency is fundamental, but aside from skill proficiency, Qi Blood and cultivation techniques are indispensable aid.
After reaching the Unity Realm, all cultivation techniques require Demon Cache as a foundation, hence these Demon Caches are very important to Qin An.
The Third Prince nodded, then raised his hand to rummage through the pile of Demon Caches, quickly finding another item.
It was a shimmering sphere, roughly the size of a fist, emitting a pulsing glow.
Upon its emergence, a trace of reluctance flickered in the Third Prince’s eyes, but it was quickly wiped away.
Qin An astutely caught the reluctance in the Third Prince’s eyes and grew increasingly curious about the sphere.
For a prince like the Third Prince to show such reluctance, it surely meant the sphere was extraordinary.
The Third Prince took a deep breath, placed the sphere on the table, and said: "This item is passed down from an ancient power called the Gate of Time; their cultivation techniques and spells are infused with the power of time, incredibly formidable."
"And this is their supreme treasure, known as the Time and Space Bead. Inside the bead is a unique space where, upon entering, a difference of thirty times is created between the interior space and the outside."
"In other words, if you train within, one day equals thirty days outside, and this Time and Space Bead is a one-time item, crafted from the collective power of the Gate of Time, which I happen to acquire."
"The time within which you can train is roughly ten days, equating to nearly a year’s training outside; after use, the bead will be destroyed."
"This item is vitally important for you too, perhaps it could be of help to you."
When Qin An heard these words, even he, as composed as he was, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He gazed at the glowing Treasure Bead, gripped the hilt of his sword, and nodded: "Thank you, Third Prince."
He didn’t bother with pleasantries or grandstanding, for the bead was crucial to him.
Perhaps to others, training inside for ten days only equates to a year’s worth outside, which may not have much impact, but it’s different for Qin An.
A year is enough for him to advance proficiency in two fields to the next level, and simultaneously deduce two cultivation techniques to the Unity Realm.
If he could deduce two cultivation techniques to the Unity Realm, then overcoming this ordeal would be much more assured.
The Third Prince waved his hand, placing it on the tabletop, sitting up straight: "You don’t need to thank me; for now, our fates are intertwined."
"The stronger you become, the better for me; as you said long ago, this is merely a transaction between us."
Qin An took the fist-sized Treasure Bead and said: "Do not worry, Your Highness, since it’s a transaction, I will do my best to complete it; should you need any assistance in the critical moments of the Crown Prince’s contention, I will surely provide my utmost support."
The Third Prince breathed a sigh of relief: "Hearing this, I’m relieved."
Though their acquaintance hadn’t been long, he knew Qin An’s character.
As long as Qin An promised something, he would surely carry it out.
Hence, he felt his substantial efforts weren’t regrettable.
