Holding the unstable space fragment in his hand, Chu Xiu immersed himself in his Divine Sense, and in an instant, his consciousness entered another space.

This space was very unstable, and it could collapse at any moment. After its collapse, all the possessions of Zhang Kunlun, this Heroic Spirit, would appear in reality like an explosion of equipment.

After examining it for a while, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but click his tongue softly.

This Heroic Spirit, who had ventured in the Abyss for over a decade, could only be described as chaotic and disorganized in his Storage Space, which was packed with all sorts of bizarre artifacts.

From basic recovery artifacts to advanced mental enhancement artifacts, appearance disguise artifacts, environment adaptation artifacts, and so on, it had everything. Chu Xiu even saw a potion that temporarily changed gender and race.

This made Chu Xiu sigh; seasoned Awakened ones were indeed experienced. Although most of these artifacts were useless in most situations, they were invaluable in preventing trouble if you happened to have them when needed.

Chu Xiu had previously relied solely on his overwhelming power to bulldoze his way through, but these artifacts could significantly enhance his ability to handle complex situations.

He selected several High Tier artifacts from them and, without hesitation, claimed them for his own.

Aside from that, there was a lot of miscellaneous stuff.

Chu Xiu discovered that this Heroic Spirit actually had as many as seven identities!

An assassin for Mountain View Building, a wealthy businessman with fourteen mistresses, an underground black market manager, and so on...

In addition to the main identity, the other identities were also high-ranking and powerful, bringing in considerable invisible income each year.

"These old Heroic Spirits really know their way around."

Chu Xiu sighed.

Exploring the Abyss was still too honest; where could you find the brutal profit that came from exploitation, smuggling, and collecting protection fees?

After sorting out these identities for potential use, he quickly used his Divine Sense to classify and select the truly useful things from the mix.

Originally, Chu Xiu most anticipated acquiring a batch of Cause and Effect Points, but unfortunately, this person had exhausted them entirely to maximize his strength.

The highest value, naturally, came from the equipment on Zhang Kunlun himself.

He didn’t have Heroic Spirit Level Legends, which left Chu Xiu a bit regretful, but it was understandable. Clearly, Zhang Kunlun, though a member of the Zhang Family, was not favored, as evidenced by the fact that Divine Power Daoist didn’t even include him in the core operations of the Heroic Spirits.

Nonetheless, his Heroic Spirit accumulations were still not to be underestimated.

His weapons and robes were all Heroic Spirit Level [Ultimate], and besides those, he also had shoes, a belt, and a ring—all seven Heroic Spirit [Perfect].

Of course, as a Heroic Spirit, it was impossible for him not to have Legends; he had two King Tier Legends.

King Tier Legendary Equipment was roughly on par with Heroic Spirit Ultimate, containing slightly less power, but its effects were usually more exquisite.

Chu Xiu extracted these four powerful pieces of equipment.

They were the [Great Sword Divine Attendant Heavy Armor], [Eight Trigrams Flowing Clouds Magical Sword], [Hidden Dragon Jade Pendant], and [Qilin Cloud-Stepping Boots].

Apart from the armor, the rest seemed to be equipment passed down by Daoists, likely refined by an Artifact Refiner with a related profession in the Zhang Family, while the heavy armor was self-obtained in the Abyss.

The effects of these four pieces of equipment roughly were: the heavy armor provided defense and power enhancement, the magical sword enhanced skill power with inbuilt Wind and Cloud Divine Techniques, the jade pendant had a similar but weakened effect of the Imperial Five Dragon Crown, offering all attributes bonus and damage reduction with a Mental Protection Shield.

The final Cloud-Stepping Boots enhanced mobility speed with its wind attribute divine techniques.

Chu Xiu could equip the two [Legendary] pieces, but he couldn’t use the Heroic Spirit [Ultimate], though he could merge them into himself using the Myriad Weapons Storage Technique.

These four pieces of equipment could enhance Chu Xiu’s power further.

As for other artifacts and low-tier equipment, there was still plenty, including several billion Huaxia Coins.

Other than that, there wasn’t much else of use.

Chu Xiu thought for a moment and decided to hand the low-tier equipment and artifacts to the government to enhance the strength of Awakened ones below the Heroic Spirit level.

The value of these pieces of equipment was close to a hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points, but the government offered him a debt note for two hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points. However, after some hesitation, Chu Xiu expressed that he wanted cash, even if a bit less.

In the end, after some consideration, the government was only willing to give him forty thousand Cause and Effect Points, a difference of five times!

There was no choice. Currently, Cause and Effect Points were highly sought after across Peng City, and the government didn’t have any excess!

Even this amount was given on the condition that Chu Xiu had proved himself trustworthy, otherwise, no matter what he said, he would not have received a single point!

Chu Xiu understood the current situation, so he agreed to the transaction without saying much.

Combined with the Cause and Effect Points from previously defeating over a hundred Horned Demons, Chu Xiu’s total Cause and Effect Points now reached six hundred eighty thousand.

What needs to be done next goes without saying.

Add points!

Chu Xiu took a deep breath and began to operate the Myriad Treasures Return Technique, attempting to fuse the[Great Sword Divine Attendant Heavy Armor]into his heart!

The heart is the source of life’s vitality and the core of the entire body!

Armor-type equipment contains the most energy of all items at the same level! It couldn’t be more suitable!

Under the activation of [Perfect Refining], the Four Symbols Yin Yang Furnace simultaneously emitted furnace flames, and Chu Xiu sat cross-legged amidst the blazing fire, continuously melding this powerful equipment with himself!
