Luckily, all the buildings here are made of stone, with no wood or any other materials. Otherwise, they would have rotted away long ago, no need for Ye Luo to kick them down.

Without any hesitation, Ye Luo headed straight for the places he couldn’t see through with his Clairvoyant Eye.

Relying on the power of the Lingyun Sword, it didn’t matter what was blocking the way; Ye Luo easily resolved it.

In the first room, Ye Luo found a bunch of small boxes, but when he opened them, he was frustrated because they were all books, which he couldn’t understand.

Of course, since they were so heavily protected, who knew when they might be useful? With plenty of space in his Qiankun Ring, Ye Luo didn’t mind taking them.

The second room! Still more books!

Ye Luo was really annoyed. Were the people of this city all bookworms? Why didn’t they store some treasures instead of so many books? Did they really love reading that much?

Whatever, just collect them first!

Room after room, all clearly special rooms that the Clairvoyant Eye couldn’t see through, yet all just filled with books, much to Ye Luo’s annoyance!

Ye Luo was feeling a bit numb. Could it be that all the rooms here were filled with books?

With a slightly disappointed heart, Ye Luo kicked open yet another room.

However, this time, Ye Luo had an unexpected find!

Once again, there were small boxes, but this time, instead of books, they were filled with ores!

Most of the ores were unknown to Ye Luo.

But one thing was for sure, these were definitely good things, at least good to the original inhabitants of this place!

Of course, there were some Ye Luo recognized!

"Wow, such a huge Seven-colored Spirit Stone, amazing!"

At this moment, Ye Luo held a Spirit Stone so large it left him a bit dumbfounded!

It’s well known that Spirit Stones have attributes, and the Spirit Mother Stone does too, that’s beyond doubt. But with seven colors, doesn’t that represent seven attributes?

Honestly, Ye Luo didn’t even know what the seven attributes were, but he was sure it was something valuable!

"Master, can I absorb this Seven-colored Spirit Stone?"

Suddenly, Xiao Qi’s voice came through, and this was the first time the Seven-colored Power actively wanted something, and it wanted to absorb it!

The Seven-colored Power’s strength is undeniable, and many times, in crucial moments, it was Xiao Qi who saved the day for Ye Luo.

But the growth of the Seven-colored Power could only progress as Xiao Qi grew naturally, and Ye Luo never knew there was a way to cultivate it!

This was the first time he’d heard Xiao Qi could devour something.

Ye Luo quickly asked, "Xiao Qi, can this Seven-colored Spirit Stone increase your power? What is it?"

Unfortunately, Ye Luo forgot, Xiao Qi grew from within his body, so how would Xiao Qi know what Ye Luo didn’t?

"Master, Xiao Qi doesn’t know either, but Xiao Qi can sense that by absorbing it, Xiao Qi should be strengthened!"

Indeed, of course, Ye Luo wouldn’t be stingy, and besides, the stronger the Seven-colored Power, the stronger Ye Luo would be.

So, with no hesitation, Ye Luo nodded in agreement.

Soon, a wisp of Seven-colored Power connected with the Seven-colored Spirit Stone, and simultaneously, a stream of seven-colored energy was quickly extracted by Xiao Qi.

Before long, the huge Seven-colored Spirit Stone had become a discarded rock!

After all, its power had been absorbed!

Ye Luo smiled slightly and continued opening boxes.

Who knows what surprises might be in these boxes, but please, no more books!

Ye Luo was almost speechless at the city’s original residents for keeping so many books instead of something else worthwhile!

Another box was opened, but what Ye Luo saw was a box of water!

Yes, just a box of water!

Honestly, this city’s ruins have been here for who knows how many years, how could there still be water?

But just then, the voice of the Lingyun Sword came through: "Master, may I consume this Spirit Water?"

What?

Did the water catch the Lingyun Sword’s interest too?

What can you do in such situations?

Ye Luo nodded, and immediately the water was absorbed by the Lingyun Sword!

Of course, since Xiao Ling is the Instrument Soul of the Lingyun Sword, naturally the absorption was by the Lingyun Sword.

As the Spirit Water was absorbed, Ye Luo’s only feeling was that the Lingyun Sword seemed a bit softer, but as for any benefits, Ye Luo had no clue!

On to opening more boxes!

This time, he opened a box containing strange characters, indeed, just characters, floating inside the box! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ye Luo finally realized how ignorant he was. It seemed like he had opened so many things, but not one did he recognize!

Even those books, Ye Luo only knew they were books!

Ye Luo remained calm, as he guessed another little one would soon speak up.

Sure enough, this time, it was Xiao Yue’s turn!

Xiao Yue’s voice was a bit excited: "Master, master, give me, give me, I want, I want!"

Goodness!

The Moon God Codex is at least a rather peculiar book, but does it have to be so pressing? Have a bit of self-respect, will you!

Seeing the Moon God Codex so excited, Ye Luo became interested and deliberately said, "Xiao Yue, it’s not that you can’t have it, but you should tell me what use you have for these characters. Xiao Qi wanted the Seven-colored Spirit Stone to boost power, Xiao Ling wanted the water to strengthen the Lingyun Sword, so tell me, what do you want this thing for?"

"Master, please give it to me. These characters look like symbols, but they’re actually a special kind of power. If I absorb them, I can unlock more messages!"

Ye Luo was dumbfounded, such a setup existed?

Wasn’t the information stored in the Moon God Codex displayed on the outside? Could there be sealed records as well?

This time, Ye Luo had no hesitations and handed it over to the Moon God Codex!

Quickly, the Moon God Codex absorbed the characters.

Ye Luo, with some anticipation, asked the Moon God Codex, "Xiao Yue, well, any gains!"

"Returning to Master, by absorbing these characters, I can now translate the texts of this civilization!"

Is that all it can do?

Ye Luo was somewhat dissatisfied, but on second thought, he was pleased. It seemed the Moon God Codex didn’t have extra information, it merely gained a translation function, but it was still good, sparing him from having all those incomprehensible books.

"Alright then, when we have time later, help me translate those books!"

Ye Luo said somewhat helplessly, reaching for another box.

But this time, the box felt a bit special.

Not that its design was special; all the boxes here were basically in the same odd shape, square and black, utterly lacking in aesthetics.

It was just that when Ye Luo picked up this box, he almost couldn’t hold it steady as it nearly fell, indicating how heavy the contents were!
