Back to Beijing
Wu Long, Xia Fei, Andre, and Charlie drove the assault boat left behind by the Black Snake Gang out of this bizarre space. They didn't encounter any danger along the way, and that terrifying giant octopus didn't appear, either. It was obvious that everything was under Soma's control.
This trip to Atlantis was a mixed bag. The good thing was that the Black Snake Gang, the strongest terrorist organization in the Federation, had been eliminated. The main reason was that the leaders of the Black Snake Gang were all wiped out. Without these people, the remaining small fries wouldn't be able to stir up any big waves in a short period of time. What awaited the Black Snake Gang was the fate of being absorbed by other terrorist organizations.
The bad thing was that hundreds of crew members on the Storm Goddess had all perished in the sea, including a few well-known scholars. This incident would probably require more effort to deal with.
However, with the Rothschild Family around, Xia Fei didn't need to worry about this matter. With their family's strength, it wasn't difficult to settle this matter. They just needed to issue a joint announcement with the government, saying that the Storm Goddess had sunk in the Atlantic Ocean, and apart from four survivors, the rest were swallowed by the vast sea. They also needed to compensate the families of the victims, and they could turn a big problem into a small one.
Xia Fei told Andre, Wu Long, and the others about what happened in the Beast Spirit Temple, but Xia Fei intentionally hid the Heart of Spirit, spatial ring, and Beast Spirit Codex.
It was a taboo for a common man to harbor treasures. Xia Fei still didn't have the strength to protect himself, so he still had to be careful.
These three items wouldn't be of much use to Wu Long and the others, so Xia Fei planned to find an opportunity to compensate them.
Xia Fei described Soma as an evil demon. Wu Long and the others had personally witnessed the terrifying octopus engulfing the submarine, so they firmly believed Xia Fei's words.
Everyone unanimously agreed that this space was an ominous place, and they must not reveal any information about this place to outsiders.
After Xia Fei parted with Wu Long and the others, he returned to Beijing alone. Although he was now filthy rich, he didn't even have a house of his own and was temporarily staying in a hotel.
Actually, it wasn't bad for a bachelor like Xia Fei to stay in a hotel. At least, there would be someone to provide him with hot meals, and he didn't need to do the cleaning and laundry himself. These housework were all Xia Fei's biggest headache.
There was a beautiful red sandalwood table in the room, and there were two items on the table. One was the Heart of Spirit, and the other was the spatial ring.
Phantom, how do I use these two items? Xia Fei asked.
The Heart of Spirit is a type of crystal that contains the primordial energy of the universe. It is sometimes used as currency in some advanced civilizations. It can be used to power spaceships, and a small piece of it is enough for a frigate to travel in space for a year.
"There are also some big forces that use these energy crystals to raise the cultivation level of their warriors. As for how they do it, it's a secret of these big families. I'm not too sure myself."
Xia Fei picked up the emerald crystal and carefully examined it under the light. Such a small piece of rock can actually keep a spaceship running for an entire year. Truly impressive. Just how much energy does it contain?
"Of course. This is the Primordial Energy Crystal of the Universe. It was produced when the universe was formed. There are only so many of them in the entire universe. This piece of crystal is not considered big. I estimate that it is worth two to three hundred million star coins. "Spiritshadow said indifferently.
Two to three hundred million! Such a small stone was worth two to three hundred million star coins. It was even more valuable than that spatial ring!
"So this is the biggest gain from this trip." Xia Fei muttered to himself.
"This spatial ring is very convenient to use. Just wear it on your hand and use your mind to open it." Phantom said.
Xia Fei put on the ring and tried it a few times. Sure enough, it was not difficult to use this spatial ring. Xia Fei very quickly familiarized himself with using his mind to operate it.
"How big is the space in this ring?" Phantom asked.
Xia Fei thought for a moment. "About four cubic meters."
Phantom nodded. "Oh, if it's four cubic meters, the market price is about 1.6 billion star coins. Not bad."
"What?!" Xia Fei was so excited that he nearly fell off his chair. An inconspicuous ring was actually worth 1.6 billion star coins. That much money could buy the entire Beijing city!
"Why are you so excited?" Phantom said nonchalantly. "Spatial rings can only be made by Legendary rank experts with spatial ability. There are very few people with spatial ability, and Legendary rank experts with spatial ability are even rarer.
"The vast majority of two-dimensional spaces are unstable and can collapse at any time. It is extremely difficult to find a stable two-dimensional space. These are the reasons why the price of spatial rings is so high. The 1.6 billion I'm talking about is the usual calculation. If you really want to buy it on the market, you definitely won't be able to buy a four-cubic meter spatial ring without 2.5 billion, Phantom said.
Xia Fei picked up a piece of cotton cloth and carefully wiped the ring before carefully putting it on his middle finger. The size was just right.
2.5 billion! It turns out that the biggest gain from this trip is you, "Xia Fei exclaimed happily as he looked at the spatial ring.
Phantom sighed. "You really haven't seen the market. Your biggest gain this time isn't this spatial ring but that Beast Spirit Codex."
"Could the value of the Beast Spirit Codex be more than 2.5 billion star coins?" Xia Fei was ecstatic.
This trip to Atlantis had yielded a total of three items, and he did not expect that each of them would be more valuable than the other. If the Beast Spirit Codex was worth 2.5 billion star coins, that would mean that Xia Fei's net worth would reach 5.6 billion star coins!
This was a shocking number that normal people would not even dare to imagine!
"I reckon that the Beast Spirit Codex should be a star-tier secret manual. How can this spatial ring compare to it?" Phantom said.
The universe's secret books and treasures were divided into six levels, in order: Human Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, Star Rank, Universe Rank, and Universe Rank.
The first three tiers could be bought with money, but from the star-tier onward, it was no longer a problem of money. Without sufficient strength and connections, it would be difficult to buy a secret manual above the star-tier even if you had the money.
After all, secret manuals involved the core strength of the major forces, so the management was very strict. Under normal circumstances, only the core disciples of the sect could learn them, and they were not allowed to be leaked.
