After wasting 3 Bamboo Void Breaking Talisman, Shang Pei finally opened Feng Chenyi’s Spatial Pouch! 

When the aunt and nephew duo looked at the bunch of items on the ground, their look of expectation quickly turned into shock. Glancing at each other, Shang Xia quickly turned away as his face heated up slightly.

There were at least 10 cubic feet of space contained in the Spatial Pouch, and it could be considered one of the lousiest Spatial Pouches in existence. Even so, it was larger than anything Shang Xia and Shang Pei had seen before.

A bunch of female products lay on the ground before them and Shang Xia could only chuckle in embarrassment, “I should have known… After all, ladies need to bring a lot more stuff during their travels outside…” 

With a strangely suspicious look on her face, Shang Pei turned to glare at Shang Xia. “Oh? Looks like you know a lot about the items ladies would have to bring when they go out adventuring?” 

“No…?” Shang Xia shook his hands desperately before him and tried to explain, “How would I…” 

“Don’t pretend… Do you really think that I don’t know anything?!” Shang Pei snorted coldly before addressing Shang Xia, “You’re no different from your father…” 

Shang Xia felt his heart trembling slightly when he heard her bringing up his father but before he could ask, Shang Pei had already turned around to toss the Spatial Pouch at him. “Here. it’s yours.” She started to pick out treasures from the ground after tossing the Spatial Pouch over to Shang Xia.

Holding the pouch, Shang Xia seemed to have recalled something and he decided to give it back to her. “Aunt, I already asked someone to head out to the Beyond Heavens Pavilion to craft me a Spatial Pouch. You should keep this one.” 

Shang Pei glanced at the feminine-looking pouch in Shang Xia’s hand that clearly did not suit his looks and she chuckled, “You don’t want it? Have you thought it through? If you’re sure, I’ll keep it.” 

She didn’t pretend to reject Shang Xia’s gift. Eventually, she kept the pouch in her sleeves before turning back to the treasures.

“Hey, look at that. She’s an enforcer of the Divine Capital Sect alright… She has some good stuff with her!” 

She took out a pair of low-grade weapons that looked like crescent hooks before keeping it for herself. “This looks pretty suitable for Sixth Sister Gu. It’s hers now.” 

It was true that the quality of those hooks wasn’t bad. It might not be comparable to the pair of blades Shang Xia gave Shang Xi in the past, but it wasn’t that far off.

Naturally, Shang Xia wouldn’t care about low-grade weapons and let Shang Pei do what she wanted. Thinking a little, he asked, “Aunt, do you know how many Abyssal Seals will be produced before the secret region appears?” 

Shang Pei was picking out treasures from the ground and she replied without looking up. “How would I know? We entered the secret region with 2 Abyssal Seals 20 years ago. I didn’t detect anything else 10 years ago and I thought that the other seal was trapped in there.” 

Shang Xia nodded slightly and recalled the strange properties of the Cloud Water Gorge. There shouldn’t be many people who entered the region and the possibility of someone finding the second seal was pretty low.

It was even possible that no one entered the secret region the previous time it appeared.

A strange thought formed in Shang Xia’s mind, but before he could ask, Shang Pei yelped softly before taking out a case that was almost a foot long. “Guess what this is!” 

Shang Xia glanced at the broken spiritual seal on the case and muttered, “Could it be a high-level spiritual herb?” 

Shang Pei opened the case and saw 24 glass tubes arranged neatly within. There were 7 empty ones but the remaining 17 were filled with a strange amber liquid. There was a small bean-like ball of light flickering within like a tiny candle.” 

“What is this? Could it be a set of advancement medicine?” Shang Xia asked.

“Do you think someone will carry so many sets of advancement medicine on them?!” Shang Pei rolled her eyes at Shang Xia before explaining, “This is called the Divine Fire Wine. To be more exact, it’s called the Divine Capital Divine Fire Wine. it’s a rank four treasure that is even better than your Hundred Flower Spiritual Wine!” 

“Really?! Is it really that impressive?” Shang Xia’s eyes lit up and he gestured to Shang Pei. “Give me half of them as a finder’s fee.” 

“What the hell for?.” Shang Pei closed the case and explained, “You can only use one tube every month and this should be every Divine Capital Sect enforcer’s two year supply.” 

Any disciple in the Divine Capital Sect would be promoted to an enforcer the moment they entered the Martial Extermination Realm. Feng Chenyi clearly possessed the qualifications to hold on to so many of them.

Shang Xia pouted indignantly, “Give me a few of them at least!” 

Opening the case again, Shang Pei took out a single tube and pointed at the flame flickering within. “Do you see that? Every tube of Divine Fire Wine contains fire essence. The treasure is for experts who cultivate the fire element. Are you sure you can use them?” 

Shang Xia might not know what element he was cultivating exactly, but he felt that he could most probably make use of it. After all, his Mirroring Sun Extermination Origin had ‘Sun’ in its name. It was probably of the fire element, right?

However, Shang Xia knew that rank four treasures were hard to come by, especially something like the Divine Fire Wine. He might have some rank four Monkey Wine and rank four Hundred Flower Spiritual Wine, but he didn’t really plan to use them before he came up with his rank four martial art.

Since Shang Pei wanted to keep the wine for herself, Shang Xia knew that she had other uses for it. He wouldn’t go overboard by asking for a lot of them and he knew that Shang Pei wouldn’t really shortchange him.

He observed the flickering flame within the tube and asked suddenly, “Aunt, do you think the flame in the Hexagonal Lantern uses the same fire essence contained in the wine?” 

Shang Pei raised her eyebrows slightly and tossed the tube over. “Test it out later.” 

After she spoke, she picked out a few other articles of clothes and undergarments from the pile. Shang Xia stood there awkwardly as he didn’t know what to do or say at that moment.

“Hmm, these clothes are of pretty good quality. They’re made from reasonably precious materials and they possess some defensive properties when worn…” Shang Pei mumbled to herself. “Too bad someone has already worn these. Hmm. Alright. I’ll give them to Sixth Sister Gu and the rest and they can split them however they like.” 

Shang Xia pretended to not hear any of that. Thinking back to a question he had earlier, he couldn’t help but ask, “Aunt, do you think the Cloud Water Gorge is the only entrance to the secret region?” 

“How would I know?” Shang Pei sneered before picking out several handkerchief-like items on the ground. “All I know is that we didn’t detect anyone else in the secret region when we entered.” 

The fuck? How are you supposed to detect anyone while escaping the blade light? 

Obviously, Shang Xia buried the thought in his heart. He wouldn’t run his mouth like a dumbass in front of Shang Pei.

Her voice rang through the air again. “Instead of thinking about all things that might or might not happen, why don’t you focus on dealing with the blade light? Of course, you can never be too careful. When you enter the secret region, you better bring the lantern with you…” 

She seemed to find something interesting among the items Feng Chenyi left behind and she gasped suddenly to interrupt herself. “Look! Look at what this is!” 

She raised a copper flask and shook it slightly to hear sounds of sloshing coming from within.

Shang Xia’s divine perception locked onto the flask immediately and he discovered a familiar feeling coming from it. He couldn’t help but ask, “This should be an artifact members of the Divine Capital Sect use to collect extermination qi. Could it be something similar to my Spirit Extermination Gourd?” 

Shang Pei shook the flask happily while replying, “There might be a complete strand of extermination origin within.” 

Shang Xia felt a trace of excitement bubbling in his heart. “What extermination origin is it? Can you use it?” 

Shang Pei shook her head and sighed with a little disappointment, “I’m afraid not. However, I hope Fifth Uncle Cen can make use of it to break through to the Martial Extermination Realm in the future.” 

“Hmm… You should start making your preparations now then. The institution or the clan wouldn’t reveal a rank four advancement formula to him when he tries to advance. At the very most, they will provide him with a set of advancement medicine.” Shang Xia thought out loud.

Agreeing with him, Shang Pei no longer spoke of the matter. Instead, she started to walk towards Shang Xia. 

“What’s wrong? Did nothing else catch your eye?” Shang Xia burst out laughing. 

She tossed him several wooden cases and instructed suddenly, “Bring these back for me.” 

Opening the cases slightly, Shang Xia noticed several intricately designed golden accessories within and joked, “Aunt, why are you giving these to me? Shouldn’t you give them to my future wife directly?”

Shang Pei’s expression sank and she growled softly, “I told you to bring them back for me, I didn’t tell you they were for your future wife. Help me give them to Min’er and Yuanyuan…” 

Shang Xia nearly jumped in fright as he responded quickly, “Oh yeah, alright, alright! I’ll give it to them once I return…” 

Glaring at Shang Xia, Shang Pei smacked Shang Xia’s face with the handkerchiefs she picked up earlier before taking her leave.

With a slightly confused look in his eyes, he asked, “Do you also want me to bring these handkerchiefs to them? It’s just several pieces of cloth…” 

“Are you blind? Can you even call yourself a rank four Talisman Master? Take a good look at them. Those pieces of cloth should be enough for you to turn them into rank four talisman paper…” Shang Pei replied without turning her head.

Carefully examining the cloth, Shang Xia revealed a joyful expression as he stuffed them into his sleeves.

However, he froze the next moment as the Abyssal Seal emerged from the same place he stuffed those handkerchiefs. It hovered in the air in front of him while spitting out faint white gas.

Shang Xia could feel that the Abyssal Seal seemed to be resonating with something, and the feeling became even stronger than before. It was as though something was about to appear!

“What’s going on?” Shang Pei quickly turned around and her gaze landed on the Abyssal Seal.

Shang Xia glanced at the seal as he replied calmly, “It’s nothing special. The secret region is probably about to appear.”
