Chapter 330: I Must Consider
The box that Sun Qingxue took out was white and flawless, and made of jade that was warm and delicate. It was smooth with no markings on it; the box was like a whole piece of jade with no discernible opening.
At the part that would normally be home to the keyhole, there was only a circular rune in the form of a variety of coloured spots. After she gave it to Yang Chen, Sun Qingxue had something to say as well, “The Sovereign said that it is very important to thank you, and that you shouldn’t let other people see the contents.”
Yang Chen understood what she was trying to say. This was another reward from the Blue Cloud Sect for finding the Eighth Metal True Secret Art. It was not like such a big sect to owe someone and delay repaying the debt by three years. Perhaps this item was the reason.
“What is inside of it?” Yang Chen asked casually. He would naturally accept a reward that he had earned for himself. Had he not gone to the lengths of making a Heart Oath? This reward was well deserved, and the Blue Cloud Sect’s behaviour only served to prove it.
“I don’t know,” Sun Qingxue shook her head. “The Sovereign would not say, and Master would not tell me either.” It had admittedly made her feel a little wronged. She was delivering the item, but could not know what it was?
Yang Chen knew that the reward was well deserved. The Eighth Metal True Secret Art was not a common essence cultivation method. On the same level, its power was at least twice as powerful as ordinary cultivation methods. This kind of powerful method, if equipped with enough Eighth Metal True Essence, could definitely bring more masters to the Blue Cloud Sect. In some ways, the Eighth Metal True Secret Art was not much worse than even the Questioning Inner Heart Pills.
However, the jade box was tightly sealed and even Sun Qingxue did not know what was inside of it. This was a little strange. Moreover, he was told to not let other people see the contents. These “other people” should be referring to the Pure Yang Palace or the Green Jade Immortal Island, but there shouldn’t be a problem with showing it to Sun Qingxue.
Yang Chen’s spiritual power immediately activated the rune when he placed his finger on it.
Yang Chen knew that the Blue Cloud Sect would not place a trap within. Firstly, Sun Qingxue was right next to him, and secondly, he had not yet handed over the Questing Inner Heart Pills. Moreover, Blue Cloud Sect’s leadership was very cautious, and would never make such a mistake.
