Chapter 718: Luck Beyond Imagination

"To think a Soul Crystal would appear, how strange!" Lan Feng'er stepped forward, opening the bag. Her expression froze. "A hundred thousand Sacred Soul Crystals, and this is even a storage soul artifact. What kind of strange treasure chest is this?"

"Son-in-law, what are these other things?" Ye Nanxin hurriedly picked up the other items on the ground, checking if anything was broken, and then waved them at Lin Qian, asking curiously.

At that moment, in Ye Nanxin's hand, there was a golden crystal bottle, inside which swirled a deep purple liquid—none other than a qualification potion.

And it wasn’t just any qualification potion; it was a golden-tier potion. His father-in-law had opened a golden-tier qualification potion on the first try, while Lin Qian had opened ten chests without even pulling a bronze-tier one. This... was ridiculous luck.

What made Lin Qian even more frustrated was the other item in his father-in-law’s hand—a crystal bottle filled with a glowing, transparent liquid.

“A diamond-tier... experience potion!”

Seeing Lin Qian's slightly awkward expression, Ye Nanxin looked uneasy. "What? Are these items too poor?"

"Father-in-law, your luck... I’m amazed. That golden bottle of purple liquid is a qualification potion, perfectly suited for you. As for the other, the diamond bottle contains experience potion, which can quadruple your cultivation speed..." Lin Qian’s Empire System could easily identify the effects of the items he pulled.

"Quadruple cultivation speed? That's good, but it's not that extraordinary," Lan Feng'er took the diamond bottle from her husband's hand, playing with it casually. "The Enlightenment Qi Pill I brought back once increased Ye-ge's cultivation speed tenfold."

"But, Mother-in-law, your pill only works while meditating, and it only lasts for seven days," Lin Qian explained as he glanced at the diamond-quality experience potion. "This diamond-tier experience potion doesn’t require any meditation, and it lasts for a full ten years."

Lan Feng'er’s hands trembled as she heard Lin Qian's words, clutching the crystal bottle tightly, suddenly afraid she might drop it.

Ten years!

She had never heard of any pill that could have such an effect for ten years without the need for cultivation to absorb it! Such a miraculous item was beyond anything she’d ever known. Her eyes now burned as she stared at the remaining eighty-nine treasure chests.

"Son-in-law, you keep these," Ye Nanxin said, taking the experience potion from his wife and offering it to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian waved his hand, looking at his father-in-law with a bit of surprise. "Father-in-law, these potions are meant for you. Why give them back to me?"

"These items are so precious, I..."

Before Ye Nanxin could finish, Lin Qian interrupted him, clearly taken aback.

"These things aren’t that valuable, Father-in-law. Besides the qualification potion, I’ve got plenty of diamond-tier experience potions to spare," Lin Qian said casually, his tone calm. He wasn’t lying either—while qualification potions were scarce, experience potions were abundant in his previous life. He never ran out of them.

Realizing that his earlier surprise might have given the wrong impression, Lin Qian continued, "Father-in-law, I was just shocked by your incredible luck. Diamond-tier experience potions are among the best things a silver chest can yield. Meanwhile, I opened ten chests earlier and got nothing but junk—not even a single Soul Crystal."

Hearing Lin Qian’s explanation, Ye Xin curiously approached one of the chests. "Husband, how about I give it a try?"

"You guys go ahead. Maybe my luck is just bad today, so I’ll step aside for now." Lin Qian scratched his head, thinking back to his black-luck history.

It seemed that while he possessed the supreme imperial talent of the Fantasy Empire, it came at the cost of his luck in other areas. Any good items he ever got were always a result of sheer persistence, never pure chance.

In his livestreams back in the day, Lin Qian had even earned the nickname "King of Bad Luck."

Ye Xin nervously opened the chest in front of her, her breath hitching in anticipation. She was curious to see what would come out.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The five distinct sounds echoed in rapid succession, causing Lin Qian to arch an eyebrow, utterly floored. Just from those five special sound effects, he knew exactly what had happened.

"Five rewards?" Lin Qian muttered, stunned. Seeing the five radiant streams of light emerge from the chest, he couldn’t believe his eyes.

Five rewards was the maximum number any chest could give. His wife, Ye Xin, had just opened a chest with the maximum number of rewards on her first try?

And typically, when a chest gives the maximum number of rewards, the quality is usually exceptional.

As the glowing radiance from the five items gradually faded, everyone eagerly rushed forward to see what had been pulled.

One of the items was a pouch containing Sacred Soul Crystals, but this time there were thirty hundred thousand of them, much more than Ye Nanxin's haul.

However, it was the remaining four items that caused Lin Qian’s face to twitch uncontrollably. With a stiff neck, he turned toward his wife, Ye Xin. “What kind of luck do you have?”

“Are these things bad?” Ye Xin asked innocently, tilting her head in confusion.

Her naive question left Lin Qian speechless. "A diamond-tier qualification potion, a diamond-tier experience potion... How could they possibly be bad? Just those two alone are more than enough. But it’s these two other things that are mind-blowing."

With that, Lin Qian picked up the two remaining items. They were both crystalline objects.

“What are these?” Ye Xin asked, curious about the beautiful crystals her husband held.

"These are called Perfect Reset Crystals, and the other is a Blessing Crystal—an experience blessing at that. This is insane..." Lin Qian muttered, shaking his head in disbelief.

His wife had just casually pulled the two best items from a silver chest, while he had opened ten and gotten nothing but junk. How was he supposed to cope with this?

"Are these crystals really that good?" Ye Xin asked, still puzzled.

As September approaches, get ready for a storm of chapters. To make up for the backlog of red chapters owed to readers, I’ll be adding ninety extra chapters in September.
