Chapter 338: Chapter 208: All Are Trash (Part 2)
"So he left this place behind. If anyone can thank that Immortal on his behalf, he will pass on his legacy, no questions asked.
"If you are unable to do so, you may take one item. Then, should you be fortunate enough to meet that Immortal, you can deliver a message conveying the East Traveling True Immortal’s gratitude."
After hearing what Ji Yifei said, Jiang Man thought it was hypocritical.
’It’s a legacy meant for his successors, so what’s all this about giving it away unconditionally?’
’And he didn’t even say the Immortal’s name.’
’But if he’s giving stuff away for free, I guess I can deliver a message.’
’This East Traveling True Immortal is pretty decent after all.’
"Do you know who this Immortal is?" Jiang Man asked Ji Yifei.
The latter shook his head. "I don’t. In any case, that’s what it says.
"So I think you can probably only take one thing.
"There’s no chance you’ll get the legacy."
Jiang Man pointed at the sarcophagus. "You can try."
’Is it really inside the sarcophagus?’ Ji Yifei wondered suspiciously.
He had actually tried to open it before, but couldn’t.
"Where are the treasures?" Jiang Man asked.
"Over there." Ji Yifei pointed toward the stone wall.
The first treasure he saw was a sword.
It was as black as ink.
You could tell it was a fine item at a glance.
Jiang Man subconsciously touched it.
[What garbage]
Jiang Man: "..."
Ji Yifei immediately spoke up. "This is the East Traveling True Immortal’s personal sword. It—"
But before he could finish, Jiang Man shook his head and said, "No need for an introduction. It’s ordinary."
Ji Yifei: "..."
After that, Jiang Man saw a Jade Pendant. It was a Magical Treasure.
[Not worth mentioning]
A long spear.
[Worse than garbage]
’Does that mean it’s worse than the sword?’
Jiang Man had Ji Yifei continue to lead the way.
[Unworthy garbage]
[A piece of dregs]
[Not worth mentioning]
Jiang Man did a full tour, but the Celestial Mirror Hundred Books dismissed everything.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Man asked.
Hearing this, a somewhat numb Ji Yifei pointed upward. "There’s a pearl up there. It’s said to be a treasure too. Why don’t you take a look?"
Jiang Man used Sword Control to fly up and touched it.
[A Light Spirit Pearl, long fallen into disrepair. Crushing it will yield an ancient, highly toxic stone block. Its extreme age makes it worth mentioning.]
Jiang Man: "..."
’A toxic stone?’
’It has some use, but it’s less useful than the sword.’
But after looking through everything, Jiang Man still hadn’t seen the painting Ting Fengyin had mentioned.
"Not satisfied with this one either?" Ji Yifei asked.
He had watched Jiang Man touch everything, only for him to declare it "not worth mentioning" or "generally useless."
He truly couldn’t understand.
’Is he looking for something incredibly special?’
’He looks down on the legacy itself, so what could be more special than that?’
"Not satisfied." Jiang Man looked around and said, "Is there nothing else? Even something ordinary would be fine."
"’Ordinary?’" Ji Yifei thought for a moment. "There’s a table and chairs over there. Want to have a look?"
"Let’s see," Jiang Man said immediately.
He then saw a set of a table and chairs in a corner.
Jiang Man touched every piece.
All of them were "not worth mentioning."
"Are there no decorations hanging here?" Jiang Man asked, looking at the walls.
"There are two paintings," Ji Yifei said.
Hearing this, Jiang Man felt a pleasant surprise. ’So there really are paintings?’
He asked where they were.
Ji Yifei pointed to two crumpled balls of paper in a corner.
Jiang Man: "..."
’Just crumpled up and thrown away like that?’
He immediately picked them up.
He found they were two landscape paintings.
One was colored, the other an ink wash.
"I’ve looked at both paintings. They’ve always been in that corner," Ji Yifei continued. "I didn’t sense anything special about them."
"How long did you say this place has existed?" Jiang Man asked as he casually touched the ink wash painting.
The result he got was:
[Not worth mentioning]
Ji Yifei shook his head. "Several hundred years? Or maybe several thousand? It must have been a very long time."
"Then could two ordinary paintings survive for so long?" Jiang Man asked again.
Ji Yifei realized he had a point.
Not unless they were covered by Immortal Power.
And he certainly hadn’t detected anything.
’Could these two paintings really be something spec—’
While he was still pondering, Jiang Man had already crumpled the ink wash painting back into a ball.
And tossed it into the corner.
Ji Yifei: "..."
’Didn’t you just imply this painting was extraordinary?’
Jiang Man paid him no mind and placed his hand on the second painting.
This time, the Celestial Mirror Hundred Books still remained on its final page.
But the words changed.
[There’s a box inside.]
’It didn’t say anything else, just that there’s a box inside.’
’The box itself surely isn’t special. The thing *inside* the box must be what’s truly special.’
’It must be worthy of being recorded.’
Without another word, Jiang Man put away the landscape painting.
"I’ll take this one," Jiang Man said.
This sudden change almost left Ji Yifei unable to react.
’So what’s so good about this painting?’
"This painting was just in the corner. It shouldn’t count as an item, right? Can I take one more thing?" Jiang Man asked.
Ji Yifei: "..."
In the end, he refused.
Because the rules were the rules.
It wasn’t up to him to say yes. You could really only take one thing.
Even if you took a table, it would still count as one item.
Jiang Man felt it was a pity. He then asked the other man if he had any Chao Yuan Glaze Pills, saying he could trade or buy them.
"Just buy them. Twenty-three hundred per pill. How many do you want?" Ji Yifei asked.
"How many do you have?" Jiang Man asked.
"Ten," Ji Yifei said after a moment’s thought. "If you buy them all, I can give you a discount of five hundred."
Jiang Man took them all.
Now he only had eighteen thousand Spiritual Source left.
He hadn’t spent it all, but he had to go back and pay interest.
So he couldn’t spend everything.
After that, he began to eat them.
「Three days later.」
The ten pills were finished.
The sucking force finally disappeared completely.
His Qi and Blood had also been somewhat replenished.
He looked human again, just a bit thinner.
It was much better than how he had looked at the start.
These past few days, Ji Yifei had been sitting in front of the sarcophagus, seemingly thinking about how to open it.
But on this day, he suddenly sensed that the Immortal Mansion’s gate had opened.
"We can leave now," he reminded Jiang Man.
At this point, Jiang Man walked up to the sarcophagus and said, "You want the legacy?"
"You have a way?" Ji Yifei asked.
