Chapter 190: Mystifying Green Crystal
The ergence of these ginseng fruits dawning a scene of tri-colored cloud of sunset hues was extrely miraculous. Even Han Weiwei who hailed from an alchemy clan hadn’t seen such a special spirit dicine before.
In this instance, everyone’s gaze was dazzled by this plant. Nobody paid attention to that skeletal remains of a cultivator.
“Wei Suo, it seems like there’s sothing amongst the grass of that Golden-Spotted Ginseng.” The Old Man spoke with great suspicion.
Wei Suo was alard and proceeded to inspect carefully. Indeed, the Old Man was spot on. Within the grassy shrubs near the ginseng, faint erald glitters could be seen.
“Careful.”
After casting a solemn expression and nodded towards Han Weiwei, Wei Suo first activated two layers of divine light screen. Then, he slowly approached the Golden-Spotted Ginseng.
No accidents occurred in the end.
“This is?”
When he reached the front of this miraculous Golden-Spotted Ginseng, Wei Suo realized there was nothing amongst the grassy shrubs around it. Yet those mystifying green glitters continued sparkling 2-3 inches around the plant in a square radius.
The erald glitters truly resembled the brilliance of a certain formation array. Yet talking about formation array, wasn’t it too tiny to just encompass several minute inches?
“What exactly are those erald glitters?” Han Weiwei couldn’t resist the urge to inquire.
Yet her asking was in vain, because not even ntioning Wei Suo, even the green gowned Old Man had no clue about it.
After shaking his head, Wei Suo retrieved his ordinary silver knife. Then, he started to poked around the erald glitters to probe.
Not a single reaction. The erald glitters offered zero hints of resistance or reaction.
When his silver knife contacted the grass, nothing happened either.
Being one who upheld safety as his primary attitude, Wei Suo hesitated as his hand hovered in midair. Then, he swung his gaze towards the skeletal remains.
Ever since coming to Duanlong Cliff, Han Weiwei and gang had been wholeheartedly following Wei Suo’s instructions. They had long identified Wei Suo as their leader. Upon observing him swinging his attention over, their gazes similarly shifted towards the white skeletal remains.
When their gazes congregated onto the white skeleton, their eyes flickered with stars and could no longer shift their gazes away.
The skeleton was completely intact, and seated in a ditative posture. There wasn’t a single trace of fracture, and seemingly appeared like the person died in this seated position. At the bottom of the skeleton’s right hand, was a tiny silver hatchet. There was also a gorgeously colored, green and red blended jade talisman.
The tiny silver hatchet was adorned with abstruse unknowable talismanic patterns, that perated with brilliance. It also emitted an extrely rich wind spirit aura.
The impression it issued was clearly a Spirit Class artifact. Furthermore, it wasn’t a low-grade Spirit Class artifact, but minimally a mid-grade Spirit Class or above.
As for that archaic gorgeous talisman, Wei Suo hadn’t seen its pattern before but he could tell it was no ordinary object.
“Could those forbidden restrictions outside be this cultivator’s deeds?” Han Weiwei batted a confused look at Wei Suo. She couldn’t resist the urge to reach forth to pick up the item for a look.
“Wait!” Instead, Wei Suo once again pulled away her hand.
“Is this brat attempting to take advantage of ?” As her face flushed with red, such a notion floated up in her heart.
“Seems like sothing is amiss.” Wei Suo followed up with this statent.
Han Weiwei remained puzzled. “What’s amiss?”
“Look, this skeleton is clearly in a seating posture.” Wei Suo took a deep breath and continued. “But for ordinary cultivators, even if they trained in this seated posture, the cultivator should still be carrying certain possessions. Especially for cultivators with mid-grade Spirit Class artifacts, they should at least possess a Treasure Receiving Pocket right? How could it be just two of those?”
“What if others had co and looted those?” Zhen Chongming contemplated and interrupted.
“……..” Not only Wei Suo, but even Han Weiwei was utterly speechless. Perhaps grass really grows in his block head? We clearly just broke through the Vajra Five Elents Barrier, and besides, if this person died before that barrier was erected, would others leave such clearly valuable treasures behind?
Han Weiwei decided to ignore Zhen Chongming. Instead, what caused her to nearly faint from vexation, was Zhu Xiaochun’s gifted reply while he nodded. “Mn, that should be the case.”
Fortunately, there was still a Wei Suo here. Otherwise, Han Weiwei would start to question her own intelligence. After finally regaining her composure, Han Weiwei glanced at Wei Suo and asked, “Are you suspecting a trap?”
“We’ll know if its safe after testing.”
Wei Suo too couldn’t confirm. His eyes flickered slightly as he retrieved several demonic beast carcasses, before tossing it by the skeleton.
After tossing the demonic beast carcasses over, not a single reaction happened.
“Retreat a little.”
Still, Wei Suo wasn’t at peace and instructed Han Weiwei and gang to retreat 60 tres away. Following that, Wei Suo even summoned out his set artifact shields and his Scarlet Shell Shield.
Next, he conjured out a streak of Xiantian True flas which barrelled towards the tiny silver hatchet.
If it was genuinely a mid-grade Spirit Class artifact, its quality would have no problems in withstanding the heat of the Xiantian True flas.
Yet at the instance the Xiantian True flas connected with the silver hatchet…..boom! A sonorous explosion resounded as the silver hatchet unexpectedly exploded with silver flas!
Not only did that silver tiny hatchet exploded into smithereens, even the white skeleton and the gorgeously colored jade talisman was utterly destroyed. In their wake, was a tre deep pit.
Han Weiwei subconsciously widened her mouth as her tongue dangled out.
The devastation of this explosion wasn’t inferior at all to mid-grade Spirit Class artifacts.
A notion instantly jolted through Han Weiwei’s mind. If she had picked up that silver hatchet, it would’ve exploded in her hand, and she would’ve simply disappeared from this world.
One could confirm now, that that treasure which appeared to be a true Spirit Class artifact, was in fact, a trap. Because the explosion only affected a small plot of land, the Golden-Spotted Ginseng several tres away wasn’t affected by the shockwaves.
Wei Suo shook his head and strolled to the Golden-Spotted Ginseng before offering a wry smile.
As he observed the erald glitters beneath the Golden-Spotted Ginseng, his hesitation grew due to the tiny silver hatchet’s explosion.
Nevertheless, he made a resolution. Gritting his teeth, he retrieved his silver knife and started digging into the soil to excavate the ginseng.
As he pushed away layers of soil, the erald glitters turned richer and richer. After digging 30 centitres deep, the source of the erald glitters was finally revealed.
It was actually three unremarkable looking erald crystals. They appeared exceedingly tough but only the size of a goose egg.
Wei Suo fixated his gaze onto the three erald crystals. Evidently, there wasn’t any formation array infused into them, and the erald glitters naturally ca from these three crystals.
Because the Old Man hadn’t co across these crystals before, Wei Suo could only take a deep breath as dug down with his knife with utmost cautiousness. After affirming nothing else was below, Wei Suo then poked one of the erald crystals with his little knife.
Nothing happened. Thus, Wei Suo clenched his teeth and retrieved one crystal with his knife.
“Wei Suo, look at those seven ginseng fruits!”
Han Weiwei abruptly exclaid. When Wei Suo retrieved a single erald crystal, the other two crystals displayed no reactions at all. Instead, those seven ginseng fruits that were producing a cloud of sunset hues effect, suddenly turned ripened; as though they were about to drop from the plant.
Such a scenario definitely wasn’t a false hallucination. Without hesitation, Wei Suo imdiately pulled out a white jade bottle and stored those seven ginseng fruits within.
“What’s going on?” The Old Man cawed in amazent.
“Could it be those erald crystals were able to allow a spirit dicine like the Golden-Spotted Ginseng, that had already reached maturity, to continue absorbing spirit energy and prolong its growth?” Such a possibility arose in Wei Suo’s mind.
If that was the case, the dicinal powers of these seven ginseng fruits were definitely enhanced, and its effects would be increasingly potent.
But would these erald crystals work on other spirit dicines? Wei Suo could only experint with it before knowing. Furthermore, he couldn’t tell if these three erald crystals were natural miraculous crystals or artificially created.
After excavating and storing those three erald crystals, Wei Suo dug a clump of soil and stored it as well.
Reflecting on all these, he wondered if a certain redoubtable cultivator had discovered this Golden-Spotted Ginseng 1,000-2,000 years ago. After realizing the ginseng fruits were still maturing, he placed many forbidden restrictions and prevented other cultivators from harvesting it. However, after expending much efforts, that cultivator t with an accident and couldn’t return to harvest the ginseng fruits. As a result, the Golden-Spotted Ginseng had continued growing, until the day Wei Suo entered.
Although there wasn’t a Blood Dragon here, he still managed to reap a similar level Demonblaze Dragon. As such, his goals were roughly t.
Moreover, the individual who established so many forbidden restrictions here definitely surpassed Wei Suo’s expectations. Who knows, there may be other forbidden restrictions that had been installed as well.
Hence, Han Weiwei grumbled and Wei Suo guaranteed that he wouldn’t explore other regions of this valley. With the Old Man guiding the way, he slowly withdrew into the Ninesongs Yellow Wind Formation and finally exited.
When they arrived back at the stone pillars of sky-toppling Black Drillworms, Wei Suo’s heart stirred. He then produced a ruby ball that had sealed many Black Drillworms, before hurling it towards one of the stone pillars.
“Perhaps, those Black Drillworms would propagate rapidly and hinder other cultivators in the future.”
Furthermore, if Wei Suo manages to learn of gardening thods to grow the Golden-Spotted Ginseng and Firecloud Mulberry Trees, he could return to extract them. Similar to that cultivator who laid so many forbidden restrictions, he wasn’t the one who laboriously planted but rely a later generation that cools in the shade.
