Three golden Earth Grade items were displayed before everyone. After seeing them, the crowd turned their envious gazes towards Ren Lan.

Lin Jichen couldn't help but marvel at Miss Frenzy's luck. All three golden Earth Grade items were usable by her.

Moreover, there were no other Body Cultivators in the team, so these three items rightfully belonged to her.

"Hahaha~ Little Lin, are you really giving them all to me?" Ren Lan beamed with joy.

Lin Jichen smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, they're all yours. Take them."

"Hehe, then I won't be polite. I'm invincible now!"

Ren Lan didn't hesitate, collecting all three golden Earth Grade items, equipping the armor, wearing the gauntlets, and learning the spirit skill!

The Dragonback Battle Armor was crimson red, making Ren Lan look like a valiant female general.

Although the armor was heavy and slowed her down, as a Body Cultivator, speed wasn't crucial. On the contrary, the armor's attributes were a perfect match for her.

High defense and a powerful damage reflection effect were a Body Cultivator's dream.

Besides the three golden Earth Grade items, the other loot from Tie Yehai's Soul Burial Mound was relatively ordinary, but having three Earth Grade items was already enough.

Next, only Ti Wushen's Soul Burial Mound remained.

Lin Jichen walked over and opened the Soul Burial Mound of this late-stage Gathering Spirit boss, but unfortunately, there were no Heavenly Grade items.

There were Earth Grade items, though—five of them!

Three gold and two purple. The women were almost numb from excitement, having never seen so many Earth Grade items in one day.

The first golden Earth Grade item was the ink blade from Ti Wushen's hand, with excellent attributes. The second was an ultimate blade technique book, but no one could use these items for now, so Lin Jichen put them away for later.

The third Earth Grade item was surprisingly a skill book.

[Earth Grade Skill · Formation Mastery Book]: After learning, one can become an entry-level Formation Master, able to learn and deploy any formation below Earth Grade without obstacles.

Note: Formation Masters require a large amount of mid to high-grade Spirit Stones. It is not recommended for those without substantial wealth.

Seeing this skill book, Lin Jichen learned it without hesitation.

The book even had a friendly reminder, bluntly stating that the poor shouldn't learn it, as it would be useless.

In his previous life, Lin Jichen would have been too poor, but now, he was quite wealthy.

At least with his current income, learning a few Mysterious Grade formations was no problem, and Earth Grade formations were also within reach.

Besides the three golden Earth Grade items, the remaining purple Earth Grade items were all part of the Soul Heaven set.

[Earth Grade Armor · Soul Heaven Gauntlets]: Strength 60, Critical Hit 30, Defense 35, Heart Protection 20.

Soul Heaven set series: Each additional piece increases all effects by 5%.

[Self-Taught]: Can forcibly learn one Body Cultivator skill, including Spirit Skills and Martial Arts Techniques, but only once. After use, it becomes invalid.

[Body Cultivator's Spirit]: Body Cultivator skill damage +10%, cooldown -5%.

Requirements: Golden Core Realm Cultivators.

....

[Earth Grade Armor · Soul Heaven Cloak]: Defense 40, Evasion 20%, Toughness 5%.

Soul Heaven set series: Each additional piece increases all effects by 5%.

[Golden Cicada Shedding]: Can leave a decoy to escape an opponent's attack without charging. The decoy deals 20% damage to nearby enemies. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

[Skywalking]: Art of flying effect +150%.

Requirements: Golden Core Realm Cultivators

Although there were no golden Earth Grade items suitable for him, Lin Jichen was very satisfied with obtaining two more pieces of the Soul Heaven set.

Now, with four pieces of the Soul Heaven set, the equipment effect was 20%, which was already comparable to a full set of golden Earth Grade items.

Besides the five Earth Grade items, there were many Mysterious Grade sets, all in gold!

There were golden Mysterious Grade flying swords, golden Mysterious Grade armor, and more, which Lin Jichen distributed among the group.

Su Wanling received the golden Mysterious Grade flying sword, and the other armor and equipment were also distributed. With the previous equipment, everyone averaged two to three pieces of equipment from this Secret Realm trip.

Even Zhao Baige got two pieces of equipment. Although she couldn't use them yet, she could keep them for when her realm advanced.

This Snowstorm Prison trip was quite fruitful.

The biggest beneficiaries were Lin Jichen and Ren Lan, followed by Jiang Luoyu.

Of course, the three of them were the main characters of this Secret Realm, so it was only natural they gained the most.

On the other hand, Gu Qiuxue and Niu Naitang didn't get anything particularly good. Although they had no complaints, Lin Jichen decided to take them to other Secret Realms later to get some good loot for them.

"Are you... a disciple of the Crimson Flame Fist Sect?" Suddenly, Qiu Changsheng asked Ren Lan.

Ren Lan was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes."

Qiu Changsheng laughed heartily and handed Ren Lan a letter, saying, "When you return to your sect, give this to the Grand Elder. He will grant you a great opportunity."

After speaking, Qiu Changsheng left.

Everyone marveled at Ren Lan's luck, getting an extra quest at the end. She was truly blessed with great luck!

Then, they found the remaining prison keys in the Soul Burial Mound and opened all the cells, releasing the prisoners.

This marked the successful completion of the Secret Realm!

A server-wide announcement immediately rang out...
