Artifacts are treasures, they could be life-saving. They could be talent awakening, they could be potentially increasing and they also could be able to increase the Lifespan of a person.
They could be in form of rings, earrings, etc. And they are sold at a very high price.
There is what could be called 'Spirit Stones' The lowest grade of spirit stone is worth about 1000 gold coins, it can also be worth, ten Low-grade beast cores.
Spirit stones and beast cores are in very high demand. Spirit Stones are formed from naturally created mines, which came into being from a place with high, pure, and condensed Qi.
While beast cores are gotten from, killing beasts, they are also hard to get, to get one, a person has to be at least in the Qi Solidification Realm.
Because, the lowest beast with beast cores
has Strength a little bit higher than this realm, and with proper skills and training, almost everyone in this realm would be able to handle it.
Beasts with strength akin to a person of that realm are called Four-star beasts. They are extremely powerful and have already been able to perform the art of Elemental attacks, they are also extremely intelligent, and some species could be very cunning, and ferocious.
In this realm, the beasts would naturally learn the ability to solidify Qi forming their Doa she'll, which would raise their strength to a whole new Level.
These, two things are what you can call the Cultivator's money, and so therefore ordinary people can't afford it.
So, at that time his father had bought and stored some things that his son would probably need when he comes of age, he bought both the body Cultivation resources and resources that would help increase his Foundation in Qi Cultivation.
Unfortunately, all those things were one of the many confiscated items that were taken away from them when they got degraded their noble status.
Though he was confused, and the situation was amusing for him, his heart was telling him the opposite.
Why would he give me an artifact when I am not even a Cultivator, and cannot absorb Qi talk less of controlling and manipulating it? Just what was it thinking?
Deep down he knew there was a surprise in store for him but he did not acknowledge it.
'Maybe, he will just ask me to keep it till I can cultivate, but isn't it a waste‽'
He now decided to ask Crystal so that he will know where it is.
'So where is this spatial artifact that I am talking about'
'You are wearing it'
He tried to act as calmly as he could, but the answer he got was completely unexpected. He never thought that such a thing is possible.
Without further ado, he asked the crystal where it was.
'Where'
'On the fingers in your right hand, and it's not normal, it's higher than this world's high-grade spatial artifacts
' Holy Molly!, a high-grade Artifact, that's so rare... its creators are even rarer'
Quickly looking at the place the crystal had informed him of he was shocked shit!. How? Where? and when did this thing come to stay on his fingers?, How was it possible that he was not able to feel it? like it was already a part of him or something like that?
If he wore something, he would have known but this thing was completely different, even now, he could not feel it, if not that he is seeing it now he would not ever agree that he is wearing a ring right now.
This thing feels like his finger itself but it could not help but admit, the ring is beautiful, it was just the perfect size.
It was a manly, crystalline, or diamond-shaped ring, Its crystalline feature giving it an almost transparent form.
But Leo was confused at the fact that it was able to be in his finger without him knowing a single thing.
Sighing, he decided to ask Crystal, those questions that are trying to drive him mad. He was afraid that he had lost his sense of touch.
What would it feel like to touch something or someone without even knowing that you've touched it? Just the thought of that thing seem very unnatural to him, and he didn't want to believe that such a thing is happening to him.
As far as he knew the sense of touch and the sense of pain are related. That is for you to feel pain, you must, first of all, feel the touch.
And a person could just quietly kill him, slowly and quietly and he might not be able to feel anything, not until it was too late.
He quietly waited for his answer from the Crystal.
'Didn't you see it during the time of your awakening'
'What!'
That has been too long, as far as he knew it has been eight hours since his awakening, Since that time and even now he could not feel it. He could not help but ask himself if that ring is an illusion but he is very sure that it isn't an illusion.
But why can't I feel it‽
'So my sense of touch was not affected right, wait did this awakening thing affect my sense of touch or something like that?'
:It's not it, rather the presence of the artifact is concealed.'
'Concealed?!'
'Yes concealed, its presence is hidden so that it can't be detected.
'hmmm'
So that is what it feels like to conceal one's presence. Is this how all high-grade, ring-type spatial artifact feels, it's awesome.
'So how does this thing works?'
Leo asked quickly getting over his emotions, many things have happening today and the things he needs to do is still stockpiling. He wanted to finish this dungeon quickly so that he could go face those waiting for him.
Thinking about those people he started wondering how those people had reacted to his words before escaping.
'I am sure that they have searched thoroughly and in any way and any place they can'
But it is quite unfortunate that they can get to me in this place, they would be wondering how I was able to use an escaping artifact when I am not even a cultivator. It's all thanks to my System, I just say. as much as it is annoying, it is also helping.
'Don't call me it! I am not a thing!'
"ordering your master, huh!...quite disrespecting of you!"
Leo said in the most annoying way he could put his voice, he has been itching for a while to irritate that crystal and it seems that this was his perfect chance and he will not let it go easily.
But, their conversation brought to his mind a thing that he should have done or asked when they first met.
'Since we have known each other for quite a while now, I have been wondering why I did not ask for your name when we first met?'
