Innate Great Emperor

Chapter 11: The Divine Effect of Equipment

Ye Jin stepped into the passage. The first iron door closed behind him.

Three iron doors protected the vault. Inside were the treasures of Ye Shouzheng's branch.

Only the current Pack Alpha and his eldest son could enter. Even the Alpha's primary wife had no right.

So even if Ye Jin killed that guard, pack law was on his side.

The chamber was built from bluestone, carved with wards against evil and beasts. Eight egg-sized night pearls lined the walls.

Each was priceless. They lit the vault like daylight. Every item was visible.

Ye Jin walked deeper. A dazzling display of jewels and gold hit him. It nearly blinded him.

He activated Spirit Eye. He scanned the piles of gold, silver, and jade.

Under the soft glow of the night pearls, the treasures sparkled brilliantly. Large chests overflowed with gold jewelry and jade pendants.

Porcelain and bronze antiques sat nearby. On the east wall stood a tall, muscular bronze statue.

The Ye Pack wasn't extravagant. But they had deep pockets. The wealth in this vault rivaled the imperial treasury.

"Activate Skill: Spirit Eye!"

Ye Jin's eyes glowed faint blue. The quality of every jewel was laid bare.

Spirit Eye was a skill he learned in the Genesis of the Gods game. It saw through traps, hidden enemies, and invisible spirits.

At its highest level, it could find dragon veins and blessed lands. He'd trained it to Level 5.

He could now roughly see an opponent's stats. He could even distinguish demonic and spiritual energy. Under his gaze, the spiritual density of each jewel was clear.

Ye Jin searched chest by chest. He pulled out a jade pendant glowing with blue-yellow light. It was cold to the touch.

A refreshing chill seeped into his palm.

"Spirit Ring Jade Pendant: Increases Will by 12. Increases Spirit by 25."

Ye Jin was overjoyed. He dug frantically. One after another, powerful accessories saw the light of day.

"Purple Crystal Bracelet: Increases Will by 18. Increases Spirit by 30."

"Blood Coral Bangle: Increases Constitution by 80."

"Purple Jade Coiling Dragon Belt: Increases Agility by 25. Increases Strength by 35."

Ye Jin's ecstasy grew. He burrowed into the pile like a mole. He dug and searched.

Effortlessly, one stat-boosting treasure after another emerged. This jewel connoisseur picked them out.

Ye Jin held the items. With a thought, they vanished. They appeared in his inventory slots.

Their stats were clearly labeled.

"Equip accessory Spirit Ring Jade Pendant?"

"Yes!"

"Equip accessory Purple Crystal Bracelet?"

"Yes!"

"Equip accessory Blood Coral Bangle?"

"Yes!"

"Equip accessory Purple Jade Coiling Dragon Belt?"

"Yes!"

"Equip..."

Golden light flashed across Ye Jin's body. The items appeared on his wrist, waist, and other slots.

He instantly became covered in jewels. A nouveau riche nightmare.

"...All equipped. I wonder what effect they'll have?" Ye Jin's eyes lit up. He felt cool air from the equipment.

His mind suddenly jolted. A powerful aura filled his body. It rushed to his brow.

"f**k yeah..."

Ye Jin closed his eyes. His mind sea lit up. The dark, blurry space brightened.

Like a white sun rising at dawn. Like the morning sun illuminating the land. His once-blurry organs became clear!

The equipment's effects grew stronger. Strands of cool air gathered. He felt a cold spring swirling at the top of his head.

"f**k yeah..." Ye Jin breathed in ecstasy.

The equipment's stats crushed his negative emotions. The world became clear. He focused.

He could now "see" his heartbeat. His alveoli expanding and contracting. His blood flowing through his veins like a rushing stream.

His spirit and will deepened. He saw his meridians—the core of his future.

Red-jade meridians. White threads of true qi racing through them.

The equipment's stats quadrupled his Spirit and Will.

"Insane bonus stats..."

Ye Jin tilted his head back. He closed his eyes and felt his spirit and qi change. He looked at the data.

In that instant, he understood. Among his five attributes, Will and Spirit determined internal cultivation!

Agility and Strength determined martial arts progress! High-level fist techniques required all five.

His Spirit was high. But his Will was always weak. He read much. He was smart. Full of ideas.

But he lacked decisiveness and courage. He was weak-willed and unsteady. No wonder his internal energy was weak.

Strong internal energy needed strong Will to control it. And strong Spirit to drive it.

Ye Jin searched the vault several more times. He found dozens of stat-boosting items. But they were all small accessories—necklaces, bracelets, rings, belts, headbands.

No arm guards, leg guards, boots, armor, underwear, cloaks, or helmets. This discovery depressed him.

Small accessories were strong. But they were a drop in the bucket. Regular equipment gave bigger boosts.

"Whatever. The Ye Pack has centuries of history. My branch produced a Martial Lord! There should be manuals here!"

He was getting anxious. "All this junk equipment and no martial arts manuals? Useless!"

The greedy Young Master Ye rubbed his brow. His eyes reddened. He paced like a hyena before the jewels.

"Wait! Maybe there are hidden mechanisms?" Ye Jin's mind stirred. He grabbed a diamond-studded gold scepter.

He paced, tapping the walls. His Spirit was high now. He could catch the slightest gap. Any difference in echo.

Clang. He tapped the bronze statue. A clear, pleasant echo rang from inside. It was hollow. Ye Jin's heart stirred.
