As Maiko continued the search for the hidden room, Alex and Luna sat at a bench and made some tea
for themselves, enjoying the drink as they chatted.
Luna said, âRemember what Herschel and Dominique said? Herschel said that he only achieved
Nascent Soul after obtaining the secret of Spiritual Valley Dungeon. It would seem that some old spirit
managed to steal from Herschel when he was in this very valley.â
Alex replied. âSo youâre saying the valley isnât safe and that something in there could pose a bigger
danger to us?â
âYep. If Herschel is on Nascent Soul, that old spirit must be of a higher rank. Good thing he must be a
remnant soul. His spiritâs most likely been heavily damaged before, something thatâs to your
advantage.â
âNo wonder he was that powerful. I thought all Nascent Soul cultivators are that powerful!â
Luna had a scornful expression, gawking at Alex as if she was looking at a complete fool. âHow
powerful do you think Nascent Souls are? A little more than you, a Core Formation cultivator, perhaps?
Iâd let you know that you are so wrong! True Nascent Souls are stronger than him!â
âNo way?â
âThe powerful ones are tens or hundreds of times stronger than Herschel.â
âHoly s⦠Then wouldnât one Nascent Soul be able to kill all of us with just their power alone? Thatâs
way too shocking, youâve got guts.â
âIf Herschel could beat you to death, wouldnât that mean you have a death wish for trying to kill a
Nascent Soul?â
Luna said, âYou canât say that. Even if it were to be a normal Nascent Soul, we both can still put up a
battle. Besides, the two mystical tools on Herschel went beyond my expectations.â
Alex nodded. âI noticed that a while ago too. That guyâs defense mystical tool is way too powerful. We
couldnât even land one hit on him. Itâs more powerful than my Mystic Armor! Oh right, where are those
mystical tools now?â
Thud!
Luna took out a bag the size of a wallet, her beautiful, star-like eyes fixated on Alexâs expression.
âThis⦠This isâ¦â
Alex was shocked, reminded of the legendary tool.
âA storage purse!â
âDo you know what this is?â Luna asked.
Alex nodded.
âDo you want it?â
Alex nodded again.
Although a storage purse, a space related treasure, was considered a low-level mystical storage tool,
this was the first time Alex had ever seen one.
âThereâs a mysterious flow of energy around it. Thatâs probably the power of space within!â
Transportation circles require the power of space as well. They require a higher power of space
compared to a storage purse. However, the power within transportation circles only appears when itâs
activated. On the other hand, the power within storage purses will always be surrounding them.
Lunaâs eyes curved up in glee. âAnd what should you call me?â
âMy queen!â
âMassage my legs too!â
âYes, my queen!â
Although he was massaging Lunaâs tender thighs, Alexâs eyes were fixated on the purse instead.
Luna then said, âHmm, I donât have a storage purse either, but since youâre such a good boy, itâs yours
now!â
âThank you, your grace.â
Alex took the purse, thinking, âThis was well too worth it! I donât mind calling her a queen as long as I
get to have this treasure. This thing is absolutely priceless, a must for traveling too.â
Luna didnât have one, yet she was willing to give it to Alex just like that, which was very generous of
her.
Alex then inserted his spiritual conscience into the area within the storage purse and realized that it
was around ten cubic inches, a rather large space considering it was just a purse. Most were just a few
cubic inches after all.
If one only had one cubic inch, the owner could only store some important personal items. Surprisingly,
a sword and a worn-out talisman were inside.
The sword was the Soul Harvesting Sword. The worn-out talisman, however, was an unknown item.
âCould this be the reason why Herschel had such a strong defense?â
Just then, Maiko came back to him. âMaster, I found the hidden room!â
