Chapter 17: An Exchange Between You and Me

In the game “Blue Spring,” in order for players to obtain a storage space ring, aside from collecting various rare materials and finding someone to craft it, Xu Yuan also knew a place where he could get a storage space ring.

The method was quite simple.

During the early stages of the game, players would pass through a map called Tianyuan Mountain.

Players only needed to enter the innermost part of this map, where they would encounter an old man with three bloody question marks above his head in a bamboo forest.

He would give players a quest, but if they wanted the storage space ring, they shouldn’t talk to the old man. Instead, they should attack him as soon as they meet.

Everything requires a bit of risk for the sake of wealth and fortune.

As long as the player kills this old man, they have a 100% chance of obtaining a storage space ring, along with a celestial treasure ring as a bonus.

A flicker of past memories flashed through Xu Yuan’s mind, and he shook his head with a faint smile, shifting his gaze to the woman in black across from him.

Although her master had a storage space ring, it was evident that Ran Qingmo had never encountered one before. Her mesmerizing eyes stared at the ring, trying to figure out how to extract a few items from inside.

Three bottles of pills, two ancient books, and a red silk robe.

In addition to these, there were also more than ten empty jade bottles and jade boxes.

After taking out these items, Ran Qingmo looked up at Xu Yuan and blinked her eyes.

“That’s all.”

“I know.”

Xu Yuan nodded slightly and swept his gaze towards the books and bottles placed on the ground.

Compared to the game, there were a few more empty jade bottles and jade boxes in the storage space ring, but there were no differences in the other items.

A cultivation technique, a secret technique, a Blood Jade Glass Robe, and three bottles of pills with different effects.

The Nine Returning Pill, a holy medicine for healing.

The Soul Fusion Pill, used for soul fusion.

The Cataclysm Pill, a necessary item for cultivating the Blood Essence Heart Cataclysm technique.

In the outside world, any one of these items would be considered a top-notch treasure.

Xu Yuan’s gaze finally focused on those three bottles of pills.

In reality, unlike in the game, items in the storage space ring didn’t have their names written on them.

Although Xu Yuan now knows what the three types of pills are, he cannot distinguish them.

But it doesn’t matter, he now has an “elderly man” by his side to guide him.

With that in mind, Xu Yuan looked at the woman beside him and said, “Mr. Ran, I have some missing memories regarding these pills. Could you help me discern them?”

Ran Qingmo glanced at Xu Yuan upon hearing this, her expression somewhat strange and suspicious.

She found Xu Yuan’s selective amnesia peculiar, but couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was strange about it.

After pondering for a moment and unable to come up with a conclusion, Ran Qingmo nodded in agreement, saying, “Hmm, this bottle is the Nine Returning Pill, this bottle is the Soul Fusion Pill, and this bottle… this bottle…”

When it came to the last bottle of pills, Ran Qingmo’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. She stared at the small bottle without blinking for a while, but ultimately couldn’t figure it out.

“I don’t know about this bottle,” she finally admitted.

“It’s okay if you don’t know,” Xu Yuan replied softly.

Ran Qingmo didn’t know that it was normal not to recognize the Cataclysm Pill.

The Cataclysm Pill was a pill specially formulated to align with the cultivation of the Blood Essence Heart Cataclysm technique, which had been lying dormant in this cave since its creation.

It could be said that besides Xu Yuan, who had once been a player, there was no other person in this world who knew of the existence of this cultivation technique.

Approaching closer, Xu Yuan picked up two of the bottles, glanced at the remaining one, paused, and whispered to Ran Qingmo, “Hmm, you can keep this Nine Returning Pill for healing.”

Ran Qingmo immediately raised her gaze, her serene eyes shimmering slightly.

She knew the value of the Nine Returning Pill.

Biting her red lips lightly, Ran Qingmo suddenly asked Xu Yuan, “Um, can you give me a jade box?”

“A jade box?”

Xu Yuan glanced at the jade bottle and jade box and casually said, “Just take them.”

“Oh.”

Ran Qingmo nodded and took a jade box in her hand, opening it and directly reaching into her bosom in front of Xu Yuan, searching for something.

…

Reorganizing his thoughts, Xu Yuan asked softly, “What are you doing?”

Ran Qingmo didn’t say anything. Silently, she took out the Snake Heart Lotus from her bosom and placed it in the jade box.

Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised at the sight.

He remembered that he had placed the item in his own bosom before jumping off the cliff.

Most likely, when he was unconscious, this big block of ice secretly took back its spoils.

He chuckled lightly.

Closing the box, Ran Qingmo tidied her collar, stood up, and handed the jade box to Xu Yuan, saying softly, “I-I’ll take this in exchange.”

…

Looking at her sincere gaze, Xu Yuan remained silent for a moment, smiled, and did not refuse, “Alright, I’ll accept it. Please help me put it in the Spatial Ring.”

“Okay.” Ran Qingmo nodded, and with a thought, the jade box in her hand vanished.

With the words spoken, both of them fell silent, unable to think of anything else to say.

Ran Qingmo didn’t feel awkward. She glanced at Xu Yuan and began tending to her injuries in a corner of the cave, holding the Nine Returning Pill she had exchanged.

As for Xu Yuan, he leisurely picked up the Blood Jade Glass Robe and two ancient books from the ground and sat on the jade bed in the cave.

This was his cave, his bed. It was only natural that Ran Qingmo slept on the floor.
