**Chapter 2287: Yu Qingrou Sells Herself**

Ancient runes flowed on the ancient box. These runes were very old, true ancient runes. These ancient runes evolved from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, finally engraved on the box, allowing it to withstand the passage of time without damage. However, the material of the box itself was also very high-grade, otherwise, it would not be able to bear the ancient runes. Such boxes were very precious in ancient times and were generally only used to store rare items; ordinary items did not qualify to be placed inside.

With Lin Moyu's current realm and understanding of runes, the ancient runes on the ancient box were no longer difficult for him. After carefully examining the box from all angles for a moment, Lin Moyu already knew how to open it. He let his soul power flow and drew an ancient rune with his fingers. This ancient rune was not complicated and corresponded exactly with the ancient runes on the ancient box. Once drawn, the rune also turned two-dimensional and flew onto the box. The rune Lin Moyu drew merged with the runes on the box, causing the box to emit a brilliant light. With a click, the box opened, and a sharp sword light shot out from it.

A world of rules appeared, and Lin Moyu summoned his own world of rules, enveloping the cultivation room and completely blocking the sword light. The sword light impacted the world of rules, causing it to shake continuously. Lin Moyu was shocked, "Sure enough, not just anything can be placed inside." The strength of this sword light almost surpassed a full-force strike of a Saint Sovereign. If it were a weaker Saint Sovereign, their world of rules might not be able to block the sword light. The power of the sword light contained spatial power, and the space around Lin Moyu was completely sealed, as if the spatial laws had come to a halt.

Lin Moyu's gaze was complex; he had already guessed what was inside the box. The first box he opened came from the Starry Sky Fishman Clan, containing a sword, only the size of a palm, a soul treasure. The sword's body was crystal clear, exuding a strong sense of spatial laws. Communicating with the small sword through his soul, the small sword instantly turned virtual and appeared in the soul world.

[Fishman Sword: Can kill all members of the Fishman Clan, regardless of their realm or strength, with one strike!]

Lin Moyu looked at the information brought by the Fishman Sword, confirming his guess that this sword was meant to control the Starry Sky Fishman Clan. Besides the Fishman Sword, there was also a jade token in the box. Lin Moyu took the jade token and read its contents.

"My name is Space Heavenly Sovereign. I extracted the essence of flying fish from the Boundary Sea and merged it with human blood to create the Starry Sky Fishman Clan. A great war is about to start, and the clan I created is still weak and not suitable for the battlefield. The outcome of this war is uncertain, and I cannot guarantee my survival, so I left this item to control the clan."

Lin Moyu learned the origin of the Starry Sky Fishman Clan, created by the Space Heavenly Sovereign using the essence of flying fish from the Boundary Sea and human blood. However, the clan was too weak when created and did not participate in the war. The Space Heavenly Sovereign feared he might not survive the war, so he left the Fishman Sword to control the clan. The ancient box could only be opened with runes, which only humans could master, so the Space Heavenly Sovereign was not afraid of the box falling into the hands of other races. Ironically, the box ended up in the hands of the Starry Sky Fishman Clan, who unknowingly handed it over to Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu smiled lightly, teasing, "Qingrou, did you sell yourself?" He put away the jade token and looked at the second box. This box was left by the Saint Rune Heavenly Sovereign, who left two ancient boxes in the inheritance land. Lin Moyu was curious about what was inside. After some research, Lin Moyu knew how to open the box. Each box required different runes, but none were difficult for Lin Moyu.

With a soft sound, the box opened. Brilliant rays of light flew out from the box, accompanied by various auras. "Treasures, more than one!" Lin Moyu sensed many auras, indicating that there were multiple items inside the box. These auras intertwined, strong and chaotic. When the box was fully opened, Lin Moyu found another ancient rune inside, which expanded the internal space of the box. In the expanded space, over a hundred various items lay quietly.

"These are materials needed for making ancient rune warriors!" Lin Moyu recognized at a glance that these items were materials for making ancient rune warriors. Many of these materials were already extinct, and even with twelve core ancient runes, it was difficult to create ancient rune warriors as powerful as those from ancient times. The materials in the box were only a small part of what was needed, less than a third. However, Lin Moyu could see that the materials left by the Saint Rune Heavenly Sovereign were very precious, even in ancient times. In the current era, they were even more priceless. Most importantly, these materials were hard to find substitutes for. Lin Moyu suspected that these materials were leftover scraps from when the Saint Rune Heavenly Sovereign made ancient rune warriors. What were scraps back then were now extremely precious.

With these materials, combined with twelve core ancient runes, the combat power of ancient rune warriors could be significantly enhanced. "The ancient rune warriors of the past could fight against peak supremes. With twelve core ancient runes and these materials, I wonder if they can rival supremes."

Lin Moyu thought to himself, filled with anticipation for another ancient box. Since both were left by the Saint Rune Heavenly Sovereign, there might be more surprises. Lin Moyu opened the third box again. As soon as the box opened, a peculiar aura spread out. "Artifact spirit?" Lin Moyu sensed the aura of an artifact spirit and found it strange. Why did the Saint Rune Heavenly Sovereign leave an artifact spirit in the box? When he saw the item inside the box, he realized he was mistaken. It was not an artifact spirit but a rune spirit. Inside the box lay an ancient rune, permanently solidified like the twelve core ancient runes, never to dissipate. On the ancient rune, a small creature was sleeping soundly. Half of its body floated on the ancient rune, the other half inside, looking very cute.

The ancient rune had developed intelligence, like an artifact spirit or an array spirit, which was very rare. Only extremely perfect ancient runes had a one in a billion chance of developing intelligence and becoming a rune spirit. Even for the Saint Rune Heavenly Sovereign, obtaining an intelligent ancient rune was very difficult. Over the years of constructing the world of rules, Lin Moyu had drawn countless ancient runes, each perfect, yet none had developed a rune spirit. The array spirit from previous arrays was purely a stroke of luck.

Communicating with the ancient rune, information about the rune spirit flooded into Lin Moyu's soul. This rune spirit could manipulate any rune, including ancient rune warriors. With its presence, ancient rune warriors would become more agile, and their combat power would increase by at least thirty percent. As Lin Moyu received the information, he heard the somewhat annoying voice of the Saint Rune Heavenly Sovereign again!
