CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 221: TEAR OF SPRING BREATH

"So it was meant for baiting, huh..."

Xia Nan’s gaze swept over the wordy attribute panel before him, his expression somewhat peculiar.

Although Cash and Vireis had previously mentioned during the adventure that there indeed existed magical items in this world with effects similar to chicken ribs, and with extremely stringent trigger conditions, which, if one didn’t clearly understand the specifics, might never be triggered even until death.

But when he saw in person this weapon that appeared to be a long spear, but was actually more suitable for fishing and baiting, the "Tide Rod," he felt a bit strained.

Thanks to having the Golden Finger attribute panel, he essentially possessed an Identification Skill of the highest level, with infinite uses, no consumption, no quality cap, and no cooldown.

This was the only way to detect the Stone Spear’s efficacy.

If it were an ordinary person, or even those high-level adventurers, they might not necessarily be able to discover its special nature.

Xia Nan even suspected that its former owner, Cash, might not know its true effect.

However, even though he knew the detailed attributes of the "Tide Rod."

It seemed... rather useless?

Mist Forest is located inland, quite a distance even to the nearest coast.

Surely Xia Nan wouldn’t travel dozens or even hundreds of days just for the Stone Spear to achieve its baiting effect and go fishing at the seaside?

There are plenty of large lakes nearby, but the trigger condition for the "Tide Rod," a healthy, living cetacean, clearly isn’t something you find in a lake.

The epitome of uselessness.

It basically held no practical value for him.

Of course, looking on the bright side.

Though the "Tide Rod" has nuanced effects and strict trigger conditions.

It’s still a serious piece of magic equipment.

In this world, as long as something is related to "adventurers" or "transcendent factors," the price of any item would skyrocket geometrically.

Carrying the title of "Enchanted Weapon," it’s far more valuable than selling the "Tide Rod" as an ordinary Stone Spear or some collectible.

If he’s lucky enough to find the right buyer — say, an angler whose technique isn’t very sophisticated, desperately wanting to enhance their "fishing skills," eager for a catch or desires to brag to others.

He might sell it for an unimaginably high price.

A self-help baiting device that can last for six hours, surely it’s in demand, right?

All in all, if the "Tide Rod" could actually be sold as magic equipment.

This one item alone might cover the losses from this task.

Moreover, Xia Nan’s gains do not end there.

Without any surprises, there’s another thing, the most valuable and useful, awaiting him in the meadow nearby.

"Tap."

Thick boots, soaked with blood, mud, and grass clippings, left a deep print in the soft earth.

Post-slaughter, a blood-reeking figure bathed in the bright moonlight, quietly illuminating the grass.

Dark eyes reflected a pale, crimson body.

Xia Nan stood in the arena, before him was Mint’s corpse, which had reverted to human form, completely devoid of life.

Still and small, soaked in blood and flesh, it bore none of the previous ferocity or stature, as when the Bear man could tear iron plates like thin paper.

Compared to Cash and Vireis, she wore a single plain long robe, which had become torn and discarded like a used napkin after her bestial transformation.

No need for Xia Nan to fumble around.

Only one trophy needed retrieval.

He crouched, fingers brushing Mint’s cheek, removing the tear-shaped Green earring below her left earlobe.

Rubbing it between his fingers, the surface was smooth and flawless, cool and smooth to the touch.

Focused, staring at it.

The next second, only he could see the semi-transparent characters appearing in the void.

...

"Tear of Spring Breath"

Type: Accessories

Quality: Rare (Blue)

Effects:

1. Secondary Healing Technique (Active/First Ring): Uses natural energy to restore a small amount of health to one creature you touch (3 times/day);

From wilderness and jungle, a rare accessory that provides decent healing effects.

Remark:

—— "Spring Vein in Rotting Soil" · Volume Three · Section Seventeen

"Thank magic! Now you have ample time to regret not dying at that moment."

...

Xia Nan’s first reaction was that the half-bottle of Healing Potion he just drank seemed wasted.

Wasting twenty-five Gold Coins.

But upon careful reflection, having just finished a grueling battle, while in poor shape and strength sharply declined, yet facing the predatory beasts around, the situation was urgent, and naturally, he couldn’t think too much.

Those twenty-five Gold Coins at least scattered the surrounding beasts, so it’s not too bad.

Moreover, compared to the rare quality blue Magic Accessory in hand, these Gold Coins that couldn’t even fill a small bag are hardly worth mentioning.

Xia Nan carefully examined the equipment called "Tear of Spring Breath," his gaze deliberately scouring its attribute effects.

First, is its ability to use the Secondary Healing Technique three times a day.
