After a bout of laughter, the first thing Qi Tian did was quickly check if the items he entrusted to the Heavenly Dao Engine for safekeeping were still intact. He opened his palm and watched the spinning black hole at its center, his heart filled with an anxiety that was simply indescribable with words.

The Heavenly Dao Engine didn’t keep Qi Tian waiting. The Storage Bag and Storage Ring that Qi Tian placed in the Heavenly Dao Engine for safeguarding were quickly spat out. Following soon after, the two Innate Spiritual Treasure Level treasures that Qi Tian handed over to the Heavenly Dao Engine for safekeeping first were also spit out by the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Looking at every treasure that was undamaged, Qi Tian was greatly satisfied. He had initially been quite worried that the Heavenly Dao Engine would consume these items as fuel, if that were the case, he would have been set back tremendously. Now that everything was still intact, he could continue to cultivate methodically, without having to worry about gathering resources for cultivation.

Qi Tian first stored the Storage Bag and Storage Ring and finally set his sights on the two Innate Spiritual Treasure Level treasures. The first thing he saw was a shovel-like tool similar to an infantry spade. The moment Qi Tian saw it, he was almost certain that it was the Innate Spiritual Treasure Level mining shovel that stirred up the Southern City District of Wanjie City. He hadn’t expected that countless people in Wanjie City would go mad for it, hunting for treasures in the trash mountain, unable to find this treasure. In contrast, he found it effortlessly.

The purpose of the mining shovel is self-explanatory, it’s mostly used for mining, and is seldom used in other situations. However, even then, the power of an Innate Spiritual Treasure Level mining shovel is extremely significant. Qi Tian could also use it as a weapon if he wanted to, it’s just that doing so would be a bit inappropriate. Using the shovel for mining would maximize the value of the mining shovel.

Qi Tian then looked at the second Innate Spiritual Treasure Level treasure. This treasure looked different from typical treasures, it was a lump of damp mud, as though it had just been dug out from the mud pit, pitch-black and wet, nothing more than a puddle of mud. Such things are too common in a junkyard, easily being dug out in truckloads, little wonder why it lay unnoticed in the roadside bushes of the dump, with no cultivator willing to give it a second glance. It was only because Qi Tian possessed the Heavenly Dao Engine, which could detect Spirit Qi, that he could find it. Otherwise, even Qi Tian would have missed this priceless treasure.

What can this sludge do? Qi Tian was clueless. He had once read many classics but none of them mentioned similar treasures. However, Qi Tian was a top graduate in his previous life, with distinguished skills in logical reasoning. The first thing that came to his mind was that the mining shovel was found near the muddy sludge, both Innate Spirit Treasures were so casually laying in the roadside bushes, and it was surprising that no one found these two treasures, it didn’t add up. Plus, according to the announcement made by Wanjie Commerce, the shovel’s original owner had discarded it casually while being chased by a Nascent Soul Master. Given the altitude from which it was dropped, the shovel, an Innate Spiritual Treasure, shouldn’t have been left visible on the ground.

There were too many things that went against reason. Qi Tian pieced all of them together and, after meticulous consideration, he came up with a bold hypothesis: the reason for all these unusual circumstances was likely related to the muddle. The sludge most likely had two functions, one was to obstruct the falling trend of nearby objects, and the other was to veil the Spirit Qi surrounding the nearby treasures. Only this could explain why the mining shovel had not been discovered.

To validate his guess, Qi Tian tossed the sludge onto the ground, stood far away, aimed, and threw the mining shovel at the muddle. When he cast the mining shovel, he used a bit of force, hence the speed of the thrown shovel matched the speed of when it was dropped from a hundred meters high.

Just when the shovel was about to hit the ground, a faint light suddenly flashed over the sludge, which seemed to form a mud pit around the sludge, and the flying shovel instantly fell into the mud pit. The super-fast speed was instantly neutralized by the mud pit, and it landed firmly on the ground.

At that point, Qi Tian used methods other than the Heavenly Dao Engine to observe and sense the sludge and the shovel, but he couldn’t detect the magical attributes of the two Innate Spiritual Treasures, regardless of the method he used. Only by using the Heavenly Dao Engine could he accurately capture their uniqueness.

Qi Tian was excited, it didn’t seem like there was much of this sludge, just about the size of two fists, but, if used correctly, it could definitely play a significant role. He needed to figure out how to take advantage of the features of this sludge and turn it into his trump card.

After putting away the two Innate Spiritual Treasures, Qi Tian took out a few other things he got from Wanjie City. The unattributed top-grade spirit stones needed no examination. Qi Tian mainly focused on the thumb-sized piece of the Demon-Seeing Mirror. At the auction, Qi Tian didn’t have the opportunity to observe it naturally. Now, trapped at the bottom of the cave, with a sealing array above, no one would disturb him, so he could study it carefully.

Qi Tian first used the Heavenly Dao Engine to sense the Demon-Seeing Mirror shard and was subsequently astounded. The information transmitted to Qi Tian by the Heavenly Dao Engine revealed that this was a treasure whose Spirit Qi reaction was even stronger than the sludge and the mining shovel. In other words, despite being only the size of a thumb pad, the Spirit Qi it contained was incomparable to the total Spirit Qi in the complete state of the mining shovel and sludge, even overwhelmingly so.
