Qing Lian's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she asked, "Gujin, do you not have a treasure that can contain it?"
"That's right, it seems I need to specially craft a treasure for it!"
Duan Gujin replied.
"I have a bracelet here, I'll give it to you!"
Qing Lian stretched out her left hand, and immediately on her smooth, snow-like skin, a white jade bracelet appeared.
With a thought, the bracelet instantly enlarged, and she gently removed the now larger bracelet.
She handed the bracelet to Duan Gujin, then taught him a set of spells to help him learn how to control it.
Duan Gujin took the bracelet and scanned it with his Divine Sense.
After a moment, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "Unexpectedly, you have a Divine-level bracelet!"
"Yes, this was given to me by Zhao Wuji. He said we share a bond like siblings, so he specially crafted two bracelets and a necklace for me. I'm giving you this bracelet now. Inside this bracelet is a small space spanning ten kilometers, and it can contain living creatures! Moreover, you can control the bracelet, letting it meld with your arm bone, so others won't see it!"
Qing Lian explained.
"I see!"
Duan Gujin accepted the bracelet Qing Lian gave him, and absorbed the Divine Thought she transmitted.
Moments later, he had completely mastered the way to control the bracelet.
Following Qing Lian's instructions, he placed the Elixir of Eternal Life and a piece of wood into the bracelet.
"Ling'er, you can go in now!"
He signaled Ling'er to enter the bracelet, and upon hearing his words, Ling'er's body transformed into a stream of light and was absorbed into the bracelet.
"Haha, from now on, I can live here and no longer worry about the wind and rain. Master, please prepare more food for me, preferably some live birds and beasts!"
Ling'er communicated to Duan Gujin from within the bracelet's space.
As the owner of the bracelet, Duan Gujin could hear Linger's voice inside and also observe her every move within.
Although he had the ability to craft a treasure that could contain living beings, his current Spiritual Power and Cultivation level were not enough to create such a high-level treasure.
In the Yuanzhen Continent, treasures like this were rarely seen.
Even if they existed, the ones crafted by the Artifact Refining Masters of Yuanzhen Continent had very small internal spaces, not even a hundredth of the size of his current bracelet's space.
Only a Divine-level Profound Weapon could have a spatial area of ten li within the bracelet.
"Let's go to the nearby city to buy some birds and beasts!"
Duan Gujin said excitedly.
"Alright!"
Qing Lian immediately guessed that this was likely a requirement from Ling'er.
Without witnessing it firsthand, she wouldn't have believed that the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat truly had such a miraculous treasure-finding ability.
They had only just caught the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, and it had already helped them find an Elixir of Eternal Life and an unfamiliar piece of wood, filling her heart with great joy.
Soon, they had bought out all the chickens, ducks, and geese in the local market of the nearby city, and Duan Gujin placed the purchased birds into the bracelet.
Once everything was settled, they headed to a local inn together with Qing Lian.
After entering the inn, he asked the waiter for a private room and ordered a table full of roast pork, roast chicken, roast duck, and roast goose.
The innkeeper, seeing the two of them ordering so much food, feared that they might dine and dash, so he requested them to pay upfront.
Duan Gujin immediately asked the innkeeper to calculate the bill. Once the innkeeper did so, he handed over the money for the meal.
Upon noticing that he had actually paid, the innkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the two before him weren't out to dine and dash.
"Dear guests, I'll prepare your meal right away!"
The innkeeper, not daring to slack, had the waiter lead the guests to a private room by the window on the second floor, where they could eat and view the Golden Mountain Lake outside.
"This is the famous Golden Mountain Lake! Look over there, someone is hosting a Martial Arts Competition for Marriage today. If you're interested, feel free to watch!"
The waiter immediately introduced the local customs to them.
Duan Gujin chuckled, "No, with a formidable wife at home, I dare not participate in a Martial Arts Competition for Marriage!"
"I understand, I understand, men, right?"
The waiter gave an ambiguous smile.
Qing Lian, hearing their conversation, let out a dry chuckle.
In high spirits, Duan Gujin quickly gave the waiter ten Yuanzhen gold coins and said, "This is your tip, take it, but don't let your boss find out!"
The waiter, seeing the ten Yuanzhen gold coins on the table, widened his eyes, almost unable to stand steadily.
"Thank you, dear guest. If you have any requests, just let me know. My name is Hua Zhen!"
"Alright, take it then!"
Duan Gujin immediately sent the waiter away, then brought Ling'er out from the bracelet and placed it on the table.
Hua Zhen soon started serving them dishes one after another.
When he saw the rat in Duan Gujin's hand eating roast chicken, duck, and goose, his face filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. He now understood why Duan Gujin had ordered such a large spread - apparently, it was for feeding the rat when he couldn't eat it all himself.
"Damn! Even the rats kept by rich people eat better than me!"
Hua Zhen retreated, and after a while, he overheard some of the diners inside discussing animatedly.
Upon closer listening, he learned that a fight had broken out on the Martial Arts Competition platform, where the son of the local richest man had his bride-to-be snatched away by someone named Li Shisan.
Many diners quickly finished their meals and rushed to the platform to watch the spectacle.
Hua Zhen then brought more wine and dishes to Duan Gujin and Qing Lian.
Duan Gujin noticed the platform outside was very lively, seemingly indicating a brawl had occurred.
His curiosity piqued, he immediately asked Hua Zhen what was happening outside.
Hua Zhen promptly relayed what he had heard earlier to Duan Gujin. Upon hearing the name Li Shisan, Duan Gujin took a sharp breath.
He then remembered that Zhan Huantai once had a capable subordinate named Li Shisan.
"Could it be such a coincidence? I haven't found Zhan Huantai yet, but instead I've found his capable subordinate?"
He was overjoyed and immediately went with Qing Lian to see the martial arts competition on the platform.
Duan Gujin wanted to know if the Li Shisan mentioned by Hua Zhen was the same Li Shisan who was the capable subordinate of Zhan Huantai in his past life.
They swiftly made their way to the front of the platform, with his eyes wide open and Divine Sense scanning.
After a while, he spotted someone on the platform.
From the person's facial features, Duan Gujin determined that it was indeed Li Shisan.
"Doesn't that person look like Li Shisan?"
Duan Gujin asked Qing Lian beside him.
"It should be him!"
Qing Lian, like Duan Gujin, recognized the young man standing on one side of the platform as Li Shisan.
"What a coincidence!"
The thought flashed through both of their minds simultaneously.
