Due to Gu Yun's disappearance, the whole team suddenly became gloomy.
Although their progress was still smooth, they did not find any traces of Gu Yun along the way.
If Gu Yun really did sneak away that night, then Gu Yun would definitely be in one of the rooms that he entered.
Unfortunately, when Guhan's team was less than ten squares away from the final destination, they still could not find Gu Yun.
Either Gu Yun encountered an incident room and was forcefully teleported to another cubicle, just like how Guhan was teleported to Liunian Ling's side.
Or Gu Yun took the initiative to give up on a certain mission and chose to give up the trial and leave the trial array.
No matter which choice it was, it was an extremely dangerous decision for Gu Yun. Where was the missing Gu Yun?
"Forget it, don't worry about Gu Yun. We are only one step away from the final destination. Wait until we pass this trial array, then we can look for Gu Yun. There's no hurry!"
Guhan, who should have been the most anxious and closest to Gu Yun, took the initiative to comfort his two companions … With Guhan's consolation, the whole team finally regained some of their firepower.
"Let's see what room this is!"
Guhan walked to the small bar and glanced at the words on the small bar. He was a little surprised to find that it was actually a prop room.
Guhan had only heard about it from Liunian Ling, but it was the first time he had seen a prop room. The electronic map in Liunian Ling's hands was a prop from the prop room.
"Oh, we're finally lucky. We don't have to face those strange missions and Yuan Kou anymore!"
Seeing that it was a prop room this time, Liunian Ling also showed a rare smile. "This is the simplest grid. I didn't expect to see a prop room just a step away from the final destination. Hurry up and activate it, let's see what we can get this time."
"Okay!"
Guhan's answer was simple and clear. He lightly touched the small bar, and the surface of the small bar suddenly separated. Under the surface was a square box with nine different colors, inside the box were nine brocade sachets of different colors.
"Let's draw a brocade pouch. Whatever we draw will be the item!"
Liunian Ling, who had experienced it once, explained to Guhan. Guhan nodded. Then, he casually took out a brocade pouch from the compartment of the brocade pouch as usual.
"This pouch is actually a dimensional pocket."
As soon as Guhan put his hand into the brocade pouch, he was taken aback. This brocade pouch was actually a dimensional pocket. Furthermore, the pocket's space wasn't small. It was much larger than the dimensional pocket that the Sword Committee had given to Guhan.
The dimensional pocket distributed by the Sword Committee was a standard dimensional pocket of ten cubic meters, but this brocade pouch had more than a hundred square meters of dimensional space, which was ten times larger than the pocket Guhan was currently using.
Such a brocade pouch could completely contain the floating bus that Guhan came on. This was a treatment that only spirit sword bearers could have!
It had to be known that for something like a dimensional pocket, as the space inside it increased, the amount of materials consumed would also increase exponentially.
If creating a dimensional pocket of ten square meters required one unit of materials, then creating a dimensional pocket that was ten times larger would require a hundred units of materials.
In other words, the small brocade pouch in Guhan's hand was at least a hundred times more expensive than the dimensional pocket distributed by the Sword Committee … Guhan wasn't sure exactly how much it was worth, but in the Hero Coin Shop, it should be worth at least 100,000 Hero Coins. This was more than an ordinary ancient sword bearer's lifetime's worth of Hero Coins.
With just this small brocade pouch, no matter what the final reward was, Guhan would be able to recoup his losses from this trial. The rest would all be considered as Guhan's profit.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at this brocade pouch in a daze?"
Seeing that Guhan hadn't taken out the item in the brocade pouch, Liunian Ling was a little anxious. "What's so interesting about a small brocade pouch that's not even a cubic meter? Quickly take out the item inside and let me see."
Liunian Ling's words made Guhan feel strange. Could it be that the brocade pouch that Liunian Ling had obtained before was less than a cubic meter?
If it was only that small, then it was very much in line with the style of Zhe Tian Jiandi's era.
In Guhan's era, such a small dimensional space wasn't worth much money. Nowadays, even the factories that produced dimensional pockets didn't bother to produce such a small dimensional pocket, because no one would buy such a small dimensional pocket.
However, in Zhe Tian Jiandi's era, dimensional space technology wasn't mature enough. Wanting to create a dimensional pocket with a large space was a very extravagant matter. It was only possible to succeed by using all kinds of rare materials.
Therefore, in that era, the Sword Council didn't distribute dimensional pockets to their sword-bearers. If a sword-bearer wanted their own dimensional pocket, they would have to collect the materials themselves and ask them to help make it. They would either obtain the dimensional pocket left behind by their predecessors, or they would have to spend a lot of money to buy a dimensional pocket.
In short, dimensional pockets were definitely very rare items back then. Out of five sword-bearers, not even one would have a dimensional pocket.
At that time, dimensional pockets were basically about a cubic meter in size.
If the rewards on the bar counter were all left behind from Zhe Tian Jiandi's era, then the dimensional pocket in Guhan's hand that was a hundred cubic meters in size would be many times more precious back then. It was estimated that nine out of ten Sword Immortals didn't have such a large dimensional pocket.
Back then, Zhe Tian Jiandi just casually used it to store a small item, and then casually gave it to someone else?
Wasn't Zhe Tian Jiandi being a little too generous?
If such a dimensional pocket was given to a team of sword-bearers, they might be able to save a lot of lives!
'No, maybe the pockets in the nine compartments were all like the one that Ling got. Mine is the only one that's special!' Guhan suddenly thought.
With that thought, Guhan decided not to dwell on this problem. He probed the space inside the pocket with his mind, and found that in such a large space, there was only a small wooden box. The rest of the space was empty. It seemed to be a completely new dimensional pocket.
Guhan took out the wooden box from the pocket and put the small brocade pouch into his clothes.
Dimensional pockets were mutually exclusive, so a dimensional pocket couldn't be put into another dimensional pocket.
However, the space inside the scabbard wasn't restricted.
This was because the space inside the scabbard was protected by the Sword Maiden, so it wouldn't conflict with the space inside the dimensional pocket.
However, a Sword Maiden could only protect the scabbard that they lived in. If there were more, they would be helpless and could only hang it on their body.
"What's in this box? It doesn't look like there's anything valuable in it!"
Liunian Ling snatched the wooden box from Guhan's hands, raised it up, and put it down again.
The wooden box was a standard rectangle, and the cross-sectional area was only about the size of a book.
With such a small box, Liunian Ling probably couldn't contain anything valuable.
"Eh, there's a secret manual in it!"
Liunian Ling couldn't wait to open the wooden box, and found that there really was a book inside. It was a thin booklet that seemed to be only a few dozen pages long.
The cover was blue, and other than the title printed on a white strip, there were no other decorations. It was a very simple book, and it seemed to be a product of the medieval era.
"Let me see!"
The blood in Guhan's body boiled when he saw the book. He recognized the book. The secret manual was exactly the same as the three sword techniques that were passed down in his family.
It also had a simple blue cover with a white stripe printed with the title of the book … If the characteristics of the other ancient books were similar to this, then there was a small tadpole-shaped mark on the lower right corner of the cover, which was a special mark that no other ancient book would have.
The moment Guhan saw the small tadpole, he felt that the book was in the same series as his family's secret manual … If that was the case, then there must be a connection between the two books.
Guhan calmly took the secret manual from Fleeting Time's hands … The moment he touched it, Guhan was even more certain that the book was in the same series as his family's secret manual, because the texture of the book was the same as the other three secret manuals.
Some readers would say, "Isn't this bullsh * t?
Isn't the texture of the book the same? "
Of course not. If it was a book that had been printed in batches of hundreds of thousands or millions of copies, the texture would be the same. However, for a secret manual, the texture would be different depending on the material used, the era, and the way it was made.
If you were lucky enough to touch some of the ancient books, you would realize that the texture of almost every ancient book would be slightly different. Only the same series of books printed by the same bookseller in the same era would have the same texture.
The secret manual in Guhan's hands was different from the three secret manuals that were passed down in his family.
Most of the ancient books were printed on paper, but the secret manual in Guhan's hand was made with a rare type of silk paper. The method of making it had long been lost.
The reason why this kind of paper was called silk paper was because the books felt like silk in the hand.
The moment Guhan touched the book, he could feel the smoothness of silk. It was the same material that was used in his family's secret manual.
"Hey, what's written in this book?
Is it the story of Jiandi's love and hatred? "Song Yifei poked his head in and glanced at the title of the book.
"Yin Yang Swordsmanship." Song Yifei read the name of the secret manual.
"He looks so awesome."
