# Chapter 822: Bubblegum-Level Spirit Technique?
Who would have thought Li Mingshan had left such a big treasure for himself!
Forget about it being a Space System technique, it was even Starlight rank?
Xia Yao, Zhong Yingxue, and the others all crowded around, their eyes full of hope!
"Little Nan, quickly see what spirit technique it is? A Starlight-rank one can't be bad, right?"
"With Platinum-rank Brother Nan already so fierce, if he tops it off with a spirit technique, haha! To the sky!"
Even Jiangnan's own little heart was pounding non-stop!
The spirit pearl inside the wooden box emitted an extremely rich spatial fluctuation!
Jiangnan closed his eyes and took hold of it, his expression gradually changing!
(｡⁼̴̤̆ꇴ⁼̴̤̆)⤖(｡˃᷄ࡇ˂᷅)⤖(٥･᷄～･᷅)
(٥▀ʖ̯▀)……
Until finally, he froze completely!
Everyone looked at Jiangnan's expression in confusion. This expression was way too conflicted, right?
What kind of skill was it?
Mila: (◔̯◔ิ｡) "Brother Jiangnan looks like he's constipated?"
Jiangnan covered his face: (ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)
What kind of crappy skill was this!
Spatial Mark: Through touch, one can leave their own spatial mark on matter or living organisms!
The mark can be maintained for 24 hours, then dissipates!
Currently, a maximum of three marks can be left simultaneously. After leaving a mark, one can sense the spatial location of the mark!
Ultimate sensing range: a radius of 100,000 meters!
Jiangnan was truly crushed!
How could this be called Spatial Mark? Might as well call it "So-and-so was here"!
Other than leaving a mark, what use was it?
The 100,000-meter sensing range was the only thing that looked like a Starlight-rank spirit technique!
As for the rest, even a dog would disdain it!
Yang Jian also looked over with hopeful eyes?
"How is it? Is it useful?"
Jiangnan: (*꒦ິ口꒦ີ) "What kind of junk is this!"
"What difference is it from bubblegum that someone else has already chewed and has no sweetness left?"
Everyone was startled. Was it really that bad?
At least it was still a Starlight-rank spirit pearl!
Seeing everyone didn't believe him, Jiangnan revealed the skill's effects!
At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
No wonder Li Mingshan didn't absorb it himself. It was too much like bubblegum!
Yang Jian smiled bitterly: "It should be an auxiliary spirit technique. It can be used in coordination with other spirit techniques!"
Jiangnan looked dejected: "It can be used with Teleportation, I guess."
"After I leave a spatial mark, even if I'm 100,000 meters away, as long as I can sense the space around the mark, I can teleport directly there!"
"But what use is that? By the time I reach Dao Heaven rank, my Teleportation's maximum distance will automatically increase as well!"
"Other than increasing the teleportation distance, Wormhole, Chain, Barrier—none of them match this mark!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Jiangnan speechlessly!
Damn, could you be any more confident?
Saying "when I reach Dao Heaven" like it's so easy, like you've got it in the bag?
Jiangnan rushed over and grabbed Yang Jian's arm, tears in his eyes!
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･)˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚
"No way, this reward doesn't count. It's too crappy. You can't just fool me! I worked so hard going down the Abyss. I even got skinny from exhaustion!"
Yang Jian was also speechless. Who knew that the spirit pearl Li Mingshan had would be such a useless one?
At first, he didn't agree to the exchange. Could it be because it was too embarrassing to take out?
"Fine, fine. Would I mistreat you? Skill slots are precious, so don't absorb this one. Later, I'll arrange for you to search in the Void Sea!"
"If this spirit pearl is useless, just give it back to me. I'll return it to Uncle Li. He..."
Jiangnan was stunned: "What spirit pearl? Isn't this my spirit pearl?"
"You want to take back a treasure that's already in my hands? Are you crazy?"
At least it was a Starlight-rank spirit pearl. Even useless, it was worth a fair amount of money.
Yang Jian: (≖_≖٥) ...
Alright, he's starting to scrape things into his own pockets again!
At the Beihai Dragon Abyss Base!
Dragon Abyss troops had long been lined up here waiting!
A strong man with a square beard and crew cut stood at the front. He was the person in charge of the Beihai Base!
And when he saw 30,000 Heavenly Cows carrying three heavily damaged giant warships flying back, his eyes almost popped out!
What kind of display was this?
As the giant warships landed!
"Boom rumble!"
With a loud crash, the three warships completely shattered, falling apart into pieces all over the ground!
They had finally fulfilled their mission!
The Dragon Abyss troops on the shore swallowed their saliva. What kind of brutal battle must they have gone through?
Shattered to pieces?
Watching the people descending from the ship wreckage!
The square-bearded strong man straightened his body, knocked his chest with his hand, and raised a salute!
∠(˘•回•˘): "Commander of Beihai Base, codename Snow Lion! On behalf of all Chinese Spirit Martial Forces!"
"Congratulating the Abyss Exploration Team on a victorious return! Brothers, you've worked hard!"
"Welcome home!"
Behind him, all Dragon Abyss troops stood at attention and saluted!
∠(･᷅∠(･᷅∠(･᷅~∠(･᷅~･᷄｡)
At once, cheers erupted from the ranks!
Ye Zi and the others' eyes moistened. They had finally made it through!
That one sentence, "Welcome home," completely broke through the explorers' defenses!
Many grown men wiped away their tears!
Ye Zi crouched down, touching the concrete ground beneath her feet, feeling an unprecedented sense of security!
"We're home!"
At this moment, Xiao Zhen, Ye Xinghe, and the others also revealed brilliant smiles!
This Abyss experience would be remembered for a lifetime!
Ling Feng and the others couldn't stop grinning either!
Everyone then looked toward Jiangnan, rushing over in a crowd, tossing Jiangnan into the air and throwing him around repeatedly!
"Southern God is amazing!"
ෆ~٩(๐⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴๐)۶~ෆ
(۶˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅)۶٩(･᷅ᗜ･᷄٩)
Jiangnan cackled with joy, being tossed around in the air, a brilliant smile spreading across his face!
"Throwing me is fine, but don't drop me, or I'll beat you guys crying!"
"Hey hey hey? Who touched my butt?"
Mountain Cat looked at Jiangnan with a gratified expression, remembering when she first saw him, that green and awkward look sitting in his classroom seat, not well-liked.
But unknowingly, he had grown into this!
(⑉❛ั◡❛ั) How wonderful～
Yang Jian was also smiling nonstop, then instructed Snow Lion: "Dao Heaven Li has returned to the country. Lift the first-level combat readiness!"
"Arrange for the Crimson Queen to receive national etiquette!"
Snow Lion looked at Mi Ye, startled: "Yes, Secretary-General!"
Yang Jian stepped forward with a smile: "Thank you for the escort all the way. You've worked hard. Hungry? Let's eat first!"
"We'll discuss the profit-sharing later!"
Mi Ye looked aloof!
(￢‸￢｡): "I wasn't escorting you. I came along to discuss business. Came along!"
Yang Jian: (٥･᷄◡･᷅) "Mmhmm! I understand! I understand!"
Being tossed in the air, Jiangnan still didn't forget to say: "Brother Jian, she likes boiled meat slices. Don't forget to arrange that!"
Mi Ye glared fiercely at Jiangnan upon hearing that: "You talk too much!"
"Didn't you hear it's national etiquette reception? I am a queen! You need to respect me!"
[From Mi Ye: Resentment +233!]
Mi Ye and Mei were taken away to be received!
As for Wang Dalei, he had to return to the Western Frontier. They couldn't do without him there!
Mountain Cat and her team were also going to leave with Wang Dalei. Jiangnan quickly teleported over!
"You're leaving already? You just got here. Stay a couple more days～"
Mountain Cat patted Jiangnan's head and chuckled: "I'll be at the forward outpost in the west for a while. There's a lot going on there lately."
"I can't keep you company. Go back and claim your rewards properly. Find me when you're free!"
Jiangnan felt a little disappointed: (๐･᷄～･᷅)
Wang Dalei also rushed over and threw an arm around Jiangnan's shoulders: "Look at your scrunched-up little face?"
"Aren't you going down to the Void Sea later? You can come by then, right?"
Jiangnan was startled: "The Void Sea is in the Western Frontier?"
Wang Dalei rolled his eyes: "You don't even know that, yet you want to go? Come on over, and I'll make sure everything's arranged for you!"
"By the way, those hand grenades of yours..."
Jiangnan: (≖ᴗ≖๑)
So he'd already tasted the sweetness?
Without another word, Jiangnan packed a basket for Wang Dalei to take away!
He reluctantly said goodbye to Mountain Cat, even stuffing a handful of White Rabbit creamy candy into her hand before she left!
The winds in the west were strong; she needed to take good care of herself!
As for the Little Niu Pi and the others, Jiangnan temporarily parked them at the training ground!
Later, they would need to be relocated to the Steel Forest Spirit Ruins in Yang Province!
That was China's only Spirit Ruins producing Spirit-Binding Iron, and a complete industrial chain had already formed!
The Spirit-Binding Iron ore transported back from the Abyss would all be sent there for processing!
Once Little Niu Pi and the others went there, it was basically retirement—no worries about food or drink!
As for the two cores, Jiangnan also handed them over to Red Dragon, who would heavily guard them back to the Jingdu Abyss Laboratory!
The follow-up work of stationing, mining, and building fortresses in the Abyss resource layer would soon begin!
Zhong Yingxue, Ling Feng, Ye Zi, and the others would go to Jingdu first with Red Dragon!
The Abyss matter was too big. Domestic media had been continuously following it, always waiting for the officials to release news!
And Jiangnan and his team had done such a huge thing that it had even shaken the international community. Even in recent days, most international headline reports revolved around the Abyss!
And China, as the ultimate beneficiary, naturally wouldn't hide it!
It was also a great opportunity to showcase strength!
With such a great achievement, rewards were a must!
But Jiangnan couldn't go; Yang Jian kept him to work!
The transfer and handover of the beast horde still needed Jiangnan's help, and most importantly, Mi Ye was still here!
The cunning old fox Yang Jian naturally wouldn't let Jiangnan leave?
The profit-sharing hadn't been discussed yet!
