The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1706: Chapter 1706: Peach Blossom Soul Device

Regarding whether the Soul Device can stimulate Old Yellow Bull, Fourth isn’t sure, but Ji You decides to give it a try.

Ji You immediately says: ”I need to use the Soul Device to test whether it can awaken Old Yellow Bull.”

Just as she finishes speaking, Chu Jiaojiao pats her chest and says: ”No problem, I support Ji You.”

After speaking, Chu Jiaojiao promptly takes out a Soul Device and hands it to Ji You, saying: ”I have one here, you can use it.”

Ji You is taken aback and does not immediately reach out to take it.

Chu Jiaojiao purses her lips and gives a cheerful smile, saying: ”This Soul Device isn’t made by a renowned master, but it’s not bad. Its maximum usage time is about six months, and I spent 3 million credit points to buy it.”

”3... 3 million?” Ji You opens her mouth.

The annoying thing about these rich people is that they start talking in millions, as if it’s just small change.

Ji You snorts: ”If you keep doing this, I will resent the rich, you know?”

Chu Jiaojiao raises her hand and scratches her head: ”Hehe... Actually, it’s a bit expensive. I had to tighten my belt and live frugally for a long time to buy this Soul Device.”

Ji You snorts again.

Chu Jiaojiao’s hand remains outstretched in front of Ji You, seeing Ji You hasn’t taken it, Chu Jiaojiao prompts: ”Hurry and take it.”

Having had a few mishaps where the Soul Device turned to ash before even touching it, Ji You hesitates slightly and does not act immediately.

What if she takes it and it immediately turns to ash? How awkward would that be?

Thinking about that scene, Ji You feels embarrassed, so instead, she looks down and examines the Soul Device, saying: ”Jiaojiao, just hold it and wait for my instructions.”

Chu Jiaojiao, unaware of Ji You’s internal conflict, laughs and says: ”Okay, I’ll wait for your instructions.”

Saying that, Chu Jiaojiao prepares to put the Soul Device away.

Ji You says: ”Don’t move.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”???”

Ji You’s eyes are fixed on the Soul Device, unwilling to look away, says: ”Just stand there, don’t move, and keep the Soul Device out for me to see?”

He Bi and Liu Fufeng, standing nearby, also come over out of curiosity.

The material of this Soul Device is jade, a piece of glass-type jade, with dense crystalline particles, transparent color, and very fine quality. Just standing nearby, you can glimpse a faint fluorescent glow on its surface.

The jade is carved into a peach blossom shape, with the pistil at the center. The starting point of the array diagram is engraved in the middle of the pistil and extends to the five petals. The vibrant Soul Power circulates within the array diagram, giving the entire Soul Device a special charm.

”It’s so beautiful!” Ji You genuinely exclaims.

”Beautiful, isn’t it?” Chu Jiaojiao squints and smiles, saying: ”I thought it was beautiful too, so I took a liking to it at first sight, even though it’s just a low-level Soul Device. I thought it was quite worthwhile.”

The price of low-level Soul Devices generally starts at 1 million, with a maximum of around 2 million, and the difference in price largely depends on the usage duration.

The longer the duration, the higher the price.

This Peach Blossom Soul Device has a usage time of six months, which is very long for a low-level Soul Device.

Therefore, its price exceeded 2 million.

”Very beautiful.” Ji You genuinely exclaims, pieces of glass-type jade are rare, even in the 21st century they were valued highly.

In the end, such rare treasures like jade, in the interstellar era, are merely reduced to ornamental items, not well received.

In today’s Soul Device manufacturing industry, Soul Artifact Masters using jade to create Soul Devices are very rare. One reason is that regardless of its preciousness, jade is only good for viewing, unlike other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that have nourishing benefits for the human body. Jade itself does not have other value.

The second reason is that jade’s material is very fragile; a casual toss could break it into pieces. This extremely fragile characteristic means it likely cannot withstand the spiritual power of a soul artifact maker, making it very difficult to be made into a Soul Device.

In light of this, the fact that this Jade Soul Device was successfully created indicates a very high level of skill and a maker whose strength should not be underestimated.

The peach blossom carved in jade, with its delicate pink color, looks lifelike, showcasing the maker’s clever ideas and skillful craftsmanship.

Is this—

an unknown Soul Artifact Master?

Ji You quickly focuses on the creator’s section, and finds there is no signature.

Noticing Ji You’s gaze, Chu Jiaojiao smiles and explains: ”I bought it at a small auction, without a signature, and since it’s just a low-level Soul Device and the material used wasn’t valuable, its starting bid was only 1 million. I won it for 3 million and secured it steadily.”

He Bi also keeps staring at the peach blossom, and can’t help but say: ”Could a maker who uses jade to create Soul Devices be a nobody?”

”Unfortunately, I really can’t find out who the maker is.” Chu Jiaojiao shakes her head, regrettably, saying: ”The holder of this Soul Device supposedly found it by chance when scavenging trash in the cosmos, and there’s no way to trace the maker’s information. I’ve also searched for Soul Artifact Masters skilled in using jade, but found no relevant data.”

There’s too little information, making it very difficult to judge or identify the maker.

Saying this, Chu Jiaojiao laughs and says: ”Come to think of it, this maker is quite like Green Glaze Master. He also likes using stones, wastes, and such to make Soul Devices. Could it be that Green Glaze Master made this?”

I made it myself, wouldn’t I know?

Ji You can’t help but internally joke, then she seriously says: ”Definitely not Green Glaze Master.”

Seeing Chu Jiaojiao, He Bi, and Liu Fufeng looking at her, Ji You explains: ”Green Glaze Master wouldn’t hide her name and do this kind of thing. Every Soul Device she makes is signed.”

Even with the five Grass Seed Fruit Bracelets made back then, Ji You was eager to boldly label her signature ’Qingyou’ prominently.

She later gave it up for aesthetic reasons.

In any case—

She doesn’t like being mysterious. She prefers when people say with pride and bravado that something was made by Green Glaze.

Chu Jiaojiao replies: ”Ah! It’s not Green Glaze Master, then who could it be?”

Ji You is very interested in this.

She’s genuinely interested, and if she could exchange ideas and thoughts with them, it might greatly improve her Soul Device manufacturing skills.

At this moment, Liu Fufeng, who hasn’t spoken since the Soul Device appeared, suddenly opens his mouth.
