Chapter 296 Forbidden Artifact Fragments, An Unexpected Encounter
Inside a quiet, private room for one person.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Under the high temperature released by the moderate concentration of fiery crystals, the copper pot quickly boiled, and the fiery soup bubbled like lava, full of life energy, with a rich aroma and a numbing spiciness that made people's mouths water.
Jiang Yuan picked up a piece of tender meat, sliced as thin as a cicada's wing, and placed it in the pan. It was cooked through in just a few seconds.
One bite, and the texture is incredibly smooth and tender, the juices burst forth, and the rich life energy spreads from the stomach to every part of the body, leaving you feeling warm all over.
Jiang Yuan looked satisfied.
"Mmm...smells good."
"Waaah~"
The little blue fish swam in the mist, curiously approaching the pot, but was choked by the spiciness and fled behind Jiang Yuan as if running away, still shaken.
"Ha ha."
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, and tossed it a radiant, seventh-grade spiritual herb, saying, "You should eat this."
"Waaah!"
Lanlan's eyes lit up, her body grew larger, and she swallowed it whole.
While the person and their pet were enjoying a delicious meal.
Jiang Yuan wasn't idle either.
He opened the system panel and first replied to messages from his parents, Mo Xixi, Luo Xi, and others.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were asking him when he would be back and to be careful while he was away.
Mo Xixi sent a video. In the video, a beautiful young girl was wearing a white training uniform, sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. She was bathed and shrouded in moonlight, and there seemed to be a bright moon in the sea behind her, making her look sacred and extraordinary.
The little girl was showing off to Jiang Yuan that she had already mastered the visualization technique of "Moon in the Sea," and wanted his praise and reward.
As for Luo Xi, she sent him photos for two consecutive days, wearing different clothes, showing off her ample bosom and long legs, and asking him with a seductive look which one looked better...
In addition, there are news reports about Yan Runan, Lin Qingyan, and Principal Nan Yue.
Yan Runan asked him where he had run off to. Sikong Ye Jiuling and the others said they wanted his contact information. Should he give it to them?
Lin Qingyan remained aloof and sent a message, "When are we setting off?", referring to the national war.
The message from Principal Nan Yue carried a hint of complaint, implying that Jiang Yuan, as the newly appointed professor of the Swordsmanship Department and now a prominent figure on campus, how could he not teach a single class? Does he know how much the students are looking forward to it? I can hardly contain myself!
After replying to each one.
Jiang Yuan opened the Star Domain Network, entered the Martial Arts Forum, and checked if any new rare and precious materials had appeared. He also wanted to sell some unwanted items he had on him.
After browsing through it.
Jiang Yuan used the 1 billion life-saving money he got from Hanlongzhu to buy two skill books, a ninth-tier spiritual material, three eighth-tier spiritual materials, and a life-saving item worth 2 million - [Exchange Dead Insect Eggs].
The two skill books are for Ye and Jingu Yu, one is dark-type and the other is control-type. Both are quite effective and expensive. Although they are mid-level skill books, they have the price of high-level ones, which makes many people hesitate to buy them.
"Um?"
Jiang Yuan saw a pinned post with over 100,000 replies, which immediately caught his attention.

For Sale: [Unknown Statue Fragment]
Attribute: Unknown.
Effect: Unknown.
Status: Unidentified (This item cannot be identified by a level 9 appraiser. It is suspected that only appraisers at the King level can successfully identify it. It is confirmed that it contains King-level aura.)
Price: 15 billion Federal Dollars.
Posted by: [Warion]
Country: Russia (formerly known as the Russian Bear Country).
The posts discussing this item by martial artists from various countries total over 100,000.
Generally speaking, items that require a King-level appraiser to appraise will not appear on the forum; they will only be handled privately, and only Quasi-Kings and Kings are qualified to participate.
If it weren't for the person who released this item, but rather the King [Varion], who ranks among the top three in strength and reputation in the Russian Bear Kingdom and has descended into the King-level Abyss multiple times, many people would probably curse him out.
There are probably no more than five appraisers of the highest rank in the world, and the cost of hiring them for appraisal is enormous.
How dare they sell something that's practically unidentifiable, with no known effects or attributes, and unusable, for 15 billion Federal Credits?!
Some people were slightly tempted and wanted to take a gamble.
But 15 billion Federal Credits is no small amount; it's enough to buy an epic-level piece of equipment with special effects.
Many important figures were also eager to make a move. 15 billion federal dollars was nothing to them. Even if the item could not be appraised or used, it would be good to collect it.
As a result, martial artists around the world saw that the top ten or so people pinned to the top of this post were all world-renowned top figures.
"Something interesting. It looks like it's harboring the power of some abyssal king." — Eber, one of the most handsome kings, and president of the world's top hunter guild, the Freedom Guild.
"Those who lack the strength should not dabble in it, lest they be corrupted." — Elizabeth IX, one of the prospective kings of the Sunset Kingdom, an SSS-level talent, and the current head of the Elizabeth family.
"Shall we take a gamble...?" — Elephant Kingdom, King Elephant.
"Only a fool would want that; it's just a trick by Varion." — Medicis, the Eagle King of Australia, who had fought with Varion and was a recognized mortal enemy.
"I sensed evil in this thing." — Gandhi Washer, the drug kingpin of India.
"I'll take this for 15 billion." — Kim Sung-jae, the Sun King of Korea.
"He really is an idiot." — Yang Hu, the Tiger King of Great Xia, mocked.
"Damn it! Come to South Korea if you dare, I'll kill you!"
Ultimately, the fragment of the statue was acquired by the Sun King of South Korea. The conflict between the two kings also sparked a fierce online war of words between warriors from South Korea and Great Xia, as the two sides had long been at odds with each other.
Amidst the sarcastic and incisive insults and curses from the martial artists of the Great Xia Dynasty, which struck right to the heart.
The Korean warriors quickly broke through the defenses.
"Damn it! You Great Xia monkeys, just wait! Our Kimchi Kingdom's peerless genius, Park Jong-guk, has already reached the Lesser Grandmaster level. In the national war, he will surely wipe out all of your Great Xia geniuses and cause your national fortune to completely decline!"
Upon hearing this, many martial artists from the Great Xia Dynasty were speechless and felt aggrieved.
It's not that they lack confidence because of the summer heat; it's just that the information blockade is so severe that it makes people feel uncertain.
The lineup for the national war hasn't even been announced yet.
Moreover, Park Jong-guk is indeed powerful, enjoying the resources of an entire nation.
There are videos online of him entering the Abyss dungeon, where he single-handedly cleared a level 6 dungeon in ten minutes, and a level 6 lord couldn't even last three minutes against him.
"Sigh, I wonder who our Great Xia has chosen to send this time..."
"Hmph! I refuse to believe that we don't have any geniuses who can't compare to the little Korean country of Park Jong-guk."
"If Jiang Shen from Nanjiang City were still alive, he wouldn't have the right to be so arrogant."
"Huh? I heard that Jiang Shen didn't die and has already returned to the capital alive."
"Really?"
……
Jiang Yuan closed the forum, then took out a pitch-black fragment that exuded a chilling aura.
【Item - Forbidden Fragment】(1/10)
The items dropped when the Yin Master's clone was killed.
It looks very similar to that unknown statue fragment, like something that broke off from it.
Back then, the Lord of the Underworld was obsessed with him and wanted to hold onto him no matter what, as if he had taken something very important from him. He thought that this forbidden fragment contained his own power and authority, but it seems... that's not the case.
Jiang Yuan looked at the pitch-black fragment in his hand. Because it was a fragment, even his Eye of All Things could only barely see a clue.
He thought to himself, "The aura contained within seems to be purer and closer to the origin than the power of the Yin Lord."
It's like... a broken divine artifact!
Shake his head.
Think no more.
Jiang Yuan put it away, then picked up a piece of cooked meat, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.
at the same time,
Three men and one woman entered the hot pot restaurant.
"Master Liu, it's been a long time! Did you save me a private room?" the mature woman said with a smile, her voice gentle and charming, touching the heart.
Still reeling from his earlier shock, Master Liu looked up and said, "Hey, Chairman Luo, it's been weeks since you've dined here. You're getting more and more beautiful. Of course, I saved your private room for you. Same old spot, please?"
Luo Ningyan nodded with a smile.
