Chapter 112 Divine Object
The moment the last spirit was absorbed into the Yin-Yang diagram, the light emanating from the diagram vanished.
"Boom!"
A sound like a pebble being thrown into a lake rang out, and then, in the middle of his hands, a round, emerald-green bead the size of a broad bean suddenly appeared. The bead was smooth and round, like a crystal-clear drop of dew, shimmering with emerald-green light.
"Kid, I wasn't lying to you! Look at what's in front of you."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan lowered his hands, activated his protective inner energy, opened his eyes, and exclaimed in bewilderment, "Huh? This... is this the so-called 'Yin Pill'?"
"What do you think?"
Chao Bufan was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and inhaled the Yin Pill into his stomach. Immediately, a faint blue halo appeared on his chest, flashing like a twinkling star before disappearing. Then, he trembled all over, and with delight, he nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Senior, it really is a good thing! I feel full of energy now, and my cultivation seems to have improved quite a bit."
"Okay, hurry up and go find that thing! It's in the room to your left in front of you."
"okay!"
Chao Bufan stood up with a smug look on his face, dusted himself off, and strode forward. Now that the ghost was gone, he walked forward with even more confidence.
There are four rooms at the end of the ship, two on each side, separated by a passageway in the middle.
The first room contained a bed, a table, and a chair. Two skeletons lay diagonally on the bed, clearly a man and a woman, embracing each other. They must have died in their sleep. Chao Bufan searched the room but found nothing of value, so he left.
The second room was filled with weapons: broadswords, axes, bows, crossbows, spears, muskets, and more. Pirates wouldn't rob empty-handed; these weapons were their powerful guarantee during the raid. However, most of them were rusted. One longsword, however, caught Chao Bufan's attention. It was a white longsword, scabbardless, three feet long, five-tenths of an inch wide, as thin as gauze, with a blue crystal inlaid at the end of the hilt—exquisitely crafted. While the other weapons were rusted, this sword still gleamed coldly. He picked it up and tested it, finding it as light as paper yet incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through iron like mud. Without hesitation, he took it.
In the third room, Chao Bufan saw dozens of boxes as soon as he entered. To his surprise, these boxes were filled with gold and silver jewelry. What excited him most were the bags containing diamonds the size of broad beans. He estimated that these diamonds were probably worth several hundred billion! There was also all the gold and silver, which added up to several hundred billion, all in US dollars. As for the jewelry, it was incalculable.
"Holy crap, what a treasure trove!" he exclaimed in surprise, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha, I'm rich! I'm rich! Senior, is there any way to take all this stuff? It's such a waste to leave so many treasures untouched!"
"I have a jade thumb ring here. You can put all these things in it!"
Suddenly, Chao Bufan felt something on his thumb. Upon closer inspection, he found it was a jade thumb ring. Moreover, a message appeared in his mind: a mantra on how to use the jade thumb ring.
Having learned how to use the jade thumb ring, Chao Bufan waved his hand at all the boxes and said, "Collect!"
Instantly, all the boxes disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he put them all into the jade thumb ring.
Such a wealth of gold and silver jewelry truly blessed him.
In the fourth room was a study. There were bookshelves against the three walls, but instead of books, they were filled with scrolls. Without a second thought, Chao Bufan collected everything from the shelves into his jade thumb ring, intending to study it later. In the center of the room was a wooden table with several books on it. Although he couldn't understand the contents, he wouldn't let them go; he took everything he could, especially since he recognized one book: the Bible. After tidying up the table, he opened a drawer. Inside was a rectangular brocade box containing a jade tube about the size of his wrist and ten centimeters long. The surface of the tube was engraved with a coiled jade dragon, and one end had a screw-on cap. Without much thought, he unscrewed the cap and poured out the contents: a cross about the size of his thumb. The cross was wood-colored, and its material was indistinguishable—neither gold nor silver, neither copper nor iron, neither clay nor jade, nor wood. The cross was covered with strange runes, like incantations. The moment it was touched, a chilling, bone-deep sensation emanated from it. Slightly startled, Chao Bufan transmitted his voice, "Senior, could this be that divine artifact?"
The old man didn't rush to reply, clearly harboring some doubt, but his words almost made Chao Bufan faint: "It seems so, yet it seems not."
"..."
Chao Bufan was immediately speechless.
"Kid, what's with that look? I've never seen this thing before, and I don't even know what it's called."
"Senior, this is a cross, one of the oldest symbols in Western countries. It has existed since ancient times and carries a great deal of mystical meaning. It can represent the sun, victory, and love, but more importantly, it can also represent death and resurrection. The most typical example in Western countries is Jesus. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, and mankind was created by God, but because mankind committed heinous sins, they left God and came into this world. But God still loves mankind, so he sent Jesus into the world to save humanity. Therefore, he chose to crucify Jesus on the cross to redeem the sins of mankind. According to Western Christian tradition, Jesus was crucified and rose again on the third day after his death, and ascended to heaven forty days after his resurrection. Therefore, ancient traditions have these interpretations of the cross: 'The cross of Christ, which I boast of, stands majestically in the universe; all its holy signs shine with brilliance, solemn and radiant for billions of years.'"
“That’s right. The only divine object that can be compared to the jade pendant around your neck is this cross, but I feel like this cross is being imprisoned by some mysterious force.”
Chao Bufan also sensed this; there was indeed some kind of mysterious power on the cross. He frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "I think I know what power is imprisoning this cross."
