I Have Countless Clones-Chapter 14

Storage Jade Plate

The room returned to silence in the blink of an eye.

Lin Shen looked at the motionless Tian Dian with a solemn expression.

He only heaved a long sigh of relief after the two clones went forward to check Tian Dian and confirmed that the latter was really dead.

When he relaxed, Lin Shen realized that the clothes on his back were already drenched in a cold sweat.

He smiled bitterly, feeling lucky.

This tall and thin man was at least a Level 7 or Level 8 of the Qi Transformation Stage. If he hadn’t taken his opponent by surprise and injured him in an ambush, he might not have been able to win this battle!

Moreover, if this man had another Immobilization Talisman, Lin Shen might have been the one who died tonight!

After calming himself down, Lin Shen gestured for his two clones to separate Tian Dian from Clone 2.

The moment Tian Dian stabbed Clone 2, Lin Shen felt his heart tighten. The pain was excruciating as if an invisible hand had pinched it hard.

Although the intense pain only lasted for a moment, he still felt enlightened.

Now, he saw that Clone 2 was indeed dead.

Lin Shen sighed.

He didn’t participate in the battle and kept Clone 2 to the last just to prevent Tian Dian’s final counterattack.

It turned out that his caution was necessary.

If not for Clone 2, he would have been seriously injured, if not dead.

“I wonder if the clone can be summoned again after it dies?”

Lin Shen frowned.

If he couldn’t, he would suffer a huge loss.

Just as this thought appeared in his mind, Lin Shen saw Clone 2’s corpse suddenly distort. It looked like a reflection in a lake that had been hit by a stone and slowly disappeared.

[His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly summoned the interface. As expected, he found a new line of words on it.

[Clone 2 (Death), Remaining Resurrection Time: 23:59:59]

Lin Shen heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as it could be resurrected!

In comparison, a mere 24-hour cooldown time wasn’t worth mentioning.

“As for this corpse… What should I do with it?”

Lin Shen looked at Tian Dian’s corpse and felt troubled.

Anyone else would have handed over the corpse of a burglar to the Martial Enforcement Hall immediately after killing them. Perhaps they could even obtain a considerable bounty.

However, Lin Shen couldn’t do that. Otherwise, how could he explain that a student at the fifth level of the Qi Transformation Stage had killed a vicious criminal at the eighth level of that stage?

If he made up a random reason, he couldn’t guarantee the people from the Martial Execution Hall wouldn’t find any clues from Tian Dian’s corpse.

If the secret of his clone was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Forget it. Let me find out what this guy is here to get first.”

Unable to reach a conclusion, Lin Shen decided to search for the corpse first.

A Qi Transformation Stage Level 8 cultivator must have many good things on him.

To his surprise, after searching for a while, Lin Shen realized that Tian Dian had very few things on him. Other than an exquisite jade stone, there was nothing else.

“Don’t tell me he’s a pauper?”

Lin Shen’s lips twitched.

However, after he carefully examined the jade, he looked pleasantly surprised.

“A storage jade plate!”

The piece of jade found on Tian Dian’s body was the legendary storage jade talisman!

As the name suggested, a storage jade plate was a jade plate that had a storage function. It was similar to the legendary spatial rings, cosmos sacks, and storage bracelets.

However, the latter was a magic tool that only cultivator masters could use.

As for storage jade plates, they were created by cultivators and were used to store items for low-level cultivators.

Although its storage capacity was far inferior to magical storage tools like spatial rings, it was a very precious treasure to low-level cultivators.

The market price of a storage jade plate was as high as 500,000 spirit coins, which was more expensive than many martial arts cultivation techniques.

“Ordinary Longevity Realm cultivators can’t afford to use storage jade plates, but this guy actually has one!”

Lin Shen clicked his tongue in wonder. When he came back to his senses, he immediately focused his mind and prepared to open the storage jade plate.

Unlike magical storage tools, storage jade plates didn’t have a restriction, and anyone could open them.

The next moment.

With a crash, a large pile of items appeared on the floor in front of Lin Shen.

There was a mountain of spirit coins, a pile of bottles, four books, half a dozen weapons, and many clothes and daily necessities. Lin Shen was dazzled.

Suppressing the pleasant surprise in his heart, Lin Shen immediately examined the items carefully.

Firstly, there were 400 to 500 spirit coins. More than half of them were worth 1,000 face values, and the rest were mostly worth 100 face values.

After a careful count, the total amount was more than 330,000 spirit coins!

It was a huge sum of money!

...

“I’m rich!”

Lin Shen’s eyes were filled with joy.

330,000 spirit coins were enough for him to eat as much spirit beast meat as he wanted in the next month. His cultivation speed would definitely increase greatly!

Suppressing his ecstasy, Lin Shen looked at the other seven or eight jade bottles.

As if to prevent using them by mistake, the bottles and jars were labeled with their names and functions.

What surprised Lin Shen was that there were four bottles of Essence Tempering Pills!

This was a medicinal pill that had a miraculous effect on tempering the body and strengthening vitality. When consumed during cultivation, it could increase efficiency and speed up the improvement of one’s cultivation.

Although the effect of the Essence Tempering Pill wasn’t as good as the Origin Pill, it was still a rare treat for Qi Transformation cultivators.

These four bottles were worth at least 150,000 spirit coins!

In addition to the Essence Tempering Pills, there were also two bottles of Spring Awn Pills and a bottle of Face Changing Pills.

The former was a healing pill commonly used by cultivators with relatively good effects.

...

The latter was used to change one’s appearance. It was probably a tool that Tian Dian usually used to avoid the pursuit of the Martial Enforcement Hall.

The last jade bottle didn’t contain pills but had a poison called Melting Liquid.

Its effect could be seen from its name.

Lin Shen looked at the Melting Liquid and clicked his tongue a few times. He already had an idea. He turned to look at Tian Dian and sighed.

“Didn’t expect this thing to be used on you one day, did you?”

He picked out the clothes, food, daily necessities, and other miscellaneous items and placed them aside. The last few things were a jade plate and four books.

Lin Shen picked up the jade plate and looked at it carefully.

This thing looked like a jade stone. It was about five to six centimeters long and two fingers wide. It was lustrous, translucent, and felt slightly cold to the touch.

Jade plates were usually used to store cultivation techniques or cultivators’ comprehension of their practice. Only cultivators of the Bright Aperture Stage or above who had spiritual responses could read the information inside.

Because of this, only Bright Aperture Stage cultivators or cultivator masters would use such an item. It was extremely valuable.

“Could this be what this guy put in my shoulder bag?” Lin Shen wondered.

On second thought, that was very likely.

After all, there were only so many valuable things in the storage jade plate.

If those bottles, jars, or books were put in his shoulder bag, he would have noticed them by now.

Only small and exquisite items like jade plates were easier to ignore.

“Who cares? It’s useless to think about it now.”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen no longer hesitated and placed the jade plate back into the storage jade plate.

No matter what was stored in this jade plate, he couldn’t read it now. He had to wait until he broke through to the Bright Aperture Stage.

After that, Lin Shen turned his gaze to the four books.

One of them seemed to be a notebook. Lin Shen flipped through a few pages and put it aside, preparing to read it carefully in the future.

The other three books gave him a huge surprise.

“Shadows”, “Mortal Restrain”, and “Meltdown”.

These three books were all secret technique manuals!
