Qin Shi Lei picked up the Chain of Defense again.

Chameleon (Blue): You can choose a necklace style every day, and be in a good mood every day.
Counter-Attack Defense (Green): Reflect 30% of incoming attacks.
Mental Defense (Red): Defends against mental attacks up to Silver 1-star.
Qin Shi Lei chose the Mental Defense attribute and handed it to Zhang Xiao Li.
Zhang Xiao Li happily accepted it and immediately put on the sky-blue necklace.
Qin Shi Lei then picked up the milky white stone carrying the combat skill Fleeting Shadow.

Quick Cooldown (Green): Cooldown time reduced to two seconds.
Erratic Movement (Green): When casting Fleeting Shadow, your figure will move left and right towards your destination.
Double Distance (Red): The maximum distance of Fleeting Shadow increases to one hundred meters.
Qin Shi Lei's gaze flickered between Quick Cooldown and Double Distance.
Both attributes were very useful for the combat skill Fleeting Shadow.
In the end, he chose the Double Distance attribute.
This combat skill was also given to An Qian, along with the Decoy Doll and the Fire Spirit Sword obtained from previous treasure chest openings.
An Qian learned the combat skill Fleeting Shadow casually.
As she cast the skill, An Qian instantly turned into an illusion and dashed over a hundred meters in a single second.
"This combat skill requires very high physical quality. I feel completely drained," An Qian remarked, returning to her original spot after using the skill.
"Dashing over a hundred meters in one second is indeed a heavy burden on the body. Try controlling the skill to only travel fifty meters at a time," Qin Shi Lei suggested.
"I'll try." An Qian began to practice controlling the specific details of casting the skill.
After some attempts, she could control the skill to travel between forty and one hundred meters. The consumption also reduced from one-tenth of her Qi to one-twentieth.
Once she could freely control the distance of the skill's dash, it meant An Qian had fully mastered it.
With this combat skill, which could be used for both offense and escape, An Qian's strength had greatly improved.
Heart of Spirit Wood, Giant Wood Blast, and Flying Flowers Plucking Leaves, along with two ability stones, went to Zhang Xiao Li.
Qin Shi Lei now had the combat skill Phantom Ghost Steps, a newly acquired Decoy Doll, a Thunder Spirit Orb, and a purple ultimate skill Teleportation.
He casually learned Phantom Ghost Steps.
This combat skill had no cooldown and could be continuously cast as long as there was Qi, and it could be used in conjunction with the ability Step.
If cast continuously, Qin Shi Lei's Qi could sustain it for eight minutes, enough for a small battle.
He had refreshed An Qian's Decoy Doll earlier today, but all three attributes were ordinary, so it hadn't been fixed.
Looking at the new Decoy Doll in his hand, Qin Shi Lei's mind moved, and instantly a blue, a green, and a purple attribute appeared on the Decoy Doll.
Binding (Blue): After binding, the Decoy Doll will still be effective even if placed in a spatial ring.
Transfer (Green): Upon receiving fatal damage, you can instantly designate a target to transfer the damage taken by the Decoy Doll to them.
Absolute Defense (Purple): When the holder receives fatal damage, an absolute defense shield will form around their body, capable of defending against all attacks from Golden realm and below. The shield lasts for five minutes.
Purple, he had actually rolled a purple attribute on a red item.
Currently, there was likely not even a Silver realm person on the entire Blue Star, yet Absolute Defense could defend against all attacks from the Golden realm.
This was equivalent to Qin Shi Lei being invincible for five minutes.
Choosing this attribute was like gaining an extra life.
Qin Shi Lei secretly stashed the Decoy Doll, then picked up the Thunder Spirit Orb.
Depleted Thunder Spirit Orb (Purple): A thunder attribute spirit orb born from heaven and earth, containing infinite magical power. It is now depleted. Holding the Thunder Spirit Orb makes it easier to control thunder elements and grants immunity to thunder element attacks.
Qin Shi Lei had been able to cast Devouring Thunder earlier with the help of the Thunder Spirit Orb, but that was because the thunder element on the mountaintop was extremely dense, not due to the Thunder Spirit Orb itself containing thunder element.
He could now use the Thunder Spirit Orb to summon milder divine lightning for purification or to cultivate and slowly purify the thunder element Qi within his body.

Binding (Green): After binding, you can use the functions of the Thunder Spirit Orb even if it is placed in a spatial ring.
Refinement (Red): After refinement, you can absorb the Thunder Spirit Orb into your body and, with the host's power, slowly restore the Thunder Spirit Orb's potency.
Self-Recovery (Red): The Thunder Spirit Orb can absorb thunder elements from the air and slowly recover.
Neither of the two red attributes indicated the speed or time of recovery, so Qin Shi Lei couldn't tell which one was better from their descriptions.
"In novels, aren't magical treasures usually refined? Then I'll choose Refinement," Qin Shi Lei thought to himself, making up his mind to select the Refinement attribute.
Then, with a thought, the Thunder Spirit Orb shot into his dantian.
Qin Shi Lei's face immediately turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground.
An Qian quickly rushed over to support him, "What's wrong?"
Qin Shi Lei's face was deathly pale, his breath weak, appearing as if he had been gravely injured.
After a while, Qin Shi Lei managed to control the Thunder Spirit Orb's suction, causing it to reappear in his palm.
He said with lingering fear, "I almost got sucked dry by this Thunder Spirit Orb."
Zhang Xiao Li quickly used a few buffs to revive him, "This is so wicked. Should we just throw it away?"
Qin Shi Lei shook his head, "I can barely control its suction for now, so it's manageable."
An Qian patted her chest, worried, "When I saw that spirit orb suddenly shoot into your body, I thought it was some treasure. Turns out it's a blood-sucking stone, it's truly wicked. You should put it in your spatial ring for now."
Qin Shi Lei explained, "This Thunder Spirit Orb doesn't suck blood, only Qi and mental energy. I'm mentally exhausted now, so putting it in the ring is fine."
With that, he placed the Thunder Spirit Orb into the Qiankun Ring and then picked up the ultimate skill Teleportation.

Half Consumption (Red): Teleportation consumes half the Qi and mental energy.
Double Distance (Red): The maximum distance of Teleportation increases to one hundred meters.
Instinct (Purple): Casting Teleportation becomes like a host's instinct, consuming one-tenth of the original Qi and mental energy, and the maximum distance increases to one hundred meters.
Today was truly a lucky day. Not only did he open treasure chests to get several good items, but the refreshed attributes were also excellent.
After choosing the Instinct attribute, Qin Shi Lei eagerly learned it.
With a thought, Qin Shi Lei instantly appeared on the mountainside a hundred meters away.
Then, he abruptly vanished from afar and reappeared on the mountaintop.
