CHAPTER 880: CHAPTER 880: STORAGE SPACE ACQUIRED!

Mu Hanyan immediately understood. Her Mysterious Star Plate was originally incomplete, and the so-called Star Mechanism Plate that Shen Moce obtained was refined based on its incomplete fragments. Now that both Star Plates were in his hands, there was no need for her to intervene; the Mysterious Star Plate would automatically refine the fragments and repair the damaged parts, resulting in a second upgrade.

Mu Hanyan’s attention once again focused on the pendant, which now exuded a mysterious and more beautiful bluish glow than before. However, on closer inspection, it seemed that the countless stars were not yet fully repaired.

In other words, there are still other fragments that haven’t been found. How many secrets are hidden within this Mysterious Star Plate? What surprises would it bring if she found the other fragments? Mu Hanyan suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

Now that she had such storage space, Mu Hanyan naturally wouldn’t waste it and began to organize her belongings.

Silver notes, elixirs, several somewhat useful cultivation techniques, a brocade box... Taking out the brocade box gifted by Zhang Chihua, Mu Hanyan remembered she had forgotten to check what was inside.

Opening the brocade box, a multicolored stone appeared before her eyes.

"Beast Bone Relic!" Mu Hanyan exclaimed softly.

Beast Bone Relics aren’t extremely rare. Even before Mu Nan made a name for himself, he had the chance to collect a few pieces of Beast Bone Relic. But the one before her was clearly different from those Mu Nan collected. Its crystal-clear and flawless purity resembled multicolored jade.

What surprised Mu Hanyan the most was that this Beast Bone Relic faintly emanated a robust vitality and waves of spiritual essence.

Just as Mu Hanyan was surprised and puzzled, a small head suddenly darted over and bit off half of the Beast Bone Relic with lightning speed, so fast that even Mu Hanyan was caught off guard.

Mu Hanyan watched in astonishment as the little piglet crunched away happily. Although she had given it a grand name, Liu Guang, this perpetually sleepy, slow-moving creature seemed anything but deserving of such a name, causing Mu Hanyan anxiety just watching it.

Mu Hanyan never imagined in her wildest dreams that this creature could be so fast.

And its speed was all to eat!

At this moment, Mu Hanyan almost wondered if this Little Auspicious Beast had truly turned into a little piglet.

Mu Hanyan involuntarily rolled her eyes.

The little creature munched on the Beast Bone Relic, eyes squinting, a faint smile stretching across its pink cheeks, looking very satisfied.

A few days ago, Mu Hanyan had tried feeding it some elixirs, and although the little creature ate them, it never showed such enjoyment.

Mu Hanyan could even feel that after eating half of the Beast Bone Relic, the little creature exuded an aura full of vitality, seeming to even grow slightly.

Was this really a Beast Bone Relic? Mu Hanyan stared at the remaining half of the multicolored, flawless stone, feeling a bit uncertain.

"This is called a Beast Soul Relic," Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s voice sounded in Mu Hanyan’s mind as she wondered.

"Beast Soul Relic?" Mu Hanyan had only heard of Beast Bone Relics and never Beast Soul Relics, and she was a bit surprised.

"Beast Bone Relics are condensed from Exotic Beast Essence, whereas Beast Soul Relics contain, in addition to Exotic Beast Essence, a trace of Exotic Beast Divine Soul. Don’t be fooled by this one-word difference; the two are worlds apart.

The former contains Exotic Beast Essence, which also includes the innate ferocity of Exotic Beasts, making it difficult to directly absorb and refine. It’s generally only used for refining artifacts or as a Dan Guide. The latter, because it contains a trace of Exotic Beast Divine Soul, retains some spiritual nature, allowing the Heaven and Earth Rules to dispel the ferocity, and even absorb Heaven and Earth Power to enhance quality.

The Beast Soul Relic in your hand has likely formed over tens of thousands of years, and it not only contains pure and abundant Exotic Beast Essence, but it’s also extremely gentle. Using it for refining artifacts would be a waste. It can be directly used in Alchemy, and if one’s cultivation is above a Sword Saint, even direct refining wouldn’t be difficult," Star Illusion Thousand Machine said excitedly.

"Such a miraculous Beast Soul Relic, how come I’ve never heard of it before?" Mu Hanyan said, puzzled.

Beast Bone Relics contain Exotic Beast Essence and are theoretically more potent than many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Yet, they’re not worth as much compared to other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures because the Exotic Beast Essence is too ferocious. Forget about direct absorption or refining; even Alchemy is quite challenging, limiting its use to being a Dan Guide.

Yet this Beast Soul Relic can be directly absorbed and refined, making it a hundred times more valuable than a Beast Bone Relic, so much so that even the well-informed Star Illusion Thousand Machine couldn’t contain its excitement. Yet, such a strange treasure had never even been heard of by Mu Hanyan, who had lived through two lifetimes, which was indeed odd.

"What’s so strange about that? Didn’t you see how happily that little piglet was eating?" Star Illusion Thousand Machine said.

"It’s a Little Auspicious Beast," Mu Hanyan weakly corrected, feeling disheartened that even it considered the creature a piglet.

"Alright, whatever you say," Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s nonchalant attitude made Mu Hanyan feel even more downcast. But thankfully, it didn’t continue to hurt Lady Mu’s already bruised heart and quickly added, "The Exotic Beast Essence contained in Beast Soul Relics is extremely beneficial for the growth of Exotic Beasts, as they share the same roots. Human swordsmen seeking power through a Beast Soul Relic must at least refine it, but Exotic Beasts don’t even need to refine, just a few bites will do."

"What’s most important is that Beast Soul Relics have an instinctive allure to Exotic Beasts. So typically, Beast Soul Relics are consumed by other Exotic Beasts before they even form. The one in your hand, formed over thousands of years and yet not eaten by other Exotic Beasts, is nothing short of a miracle.

If I’m not mistaken, there must be an Array Sealing at the hiding place of this Beast Soul Relic, concealing its aura from other Exotic Beasts. Seeking fortune while avoiding danger is an instinctive ability of Exotic Beasts, and the stronger the Exotic Beast, the sharper this instinct. If you find the hiding place of this Beast Soul Relic, you may very well find other Beast Soul Relics," Star Illusion Thousand Machine said, smacking its lips.

"You wouldn’t want to eat this too, would you?" Mu Hanyan had long categorized Beast Bone Relics with corpses, and when she heard Star Illusion Thousand Machine smacking its lips, she shivered a little.

"Not that I can’t, but since it’s formed from Exotic Beast Essence, eating it directly seems a bit nauseating, so I’d rather not," Star Illusion Thousand Machine pondered.

Listening to those words, it did seem to have some appetite for this corpse... oh no, Beast Bone. Mu Hanyan quietly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
