Through the fog of the night, Wei Suo, who had walked out from the conveying array, looked to the mountain range in the distance. In the mountain range, there were ruins of buildings and flickering lights.
The ruins left behind in the mountain range were all remnants of the ancient past. They were all extrely old. Many of them were already weathered, eroded and had beco impossible to determine their original appearance. Nurous ruins exist in the five to six mountain ranges of the Sheep Bone Mountain. In the ancient tis, this place was likely a big city or a strategic town. As for the flickering lights within the mountain range, they ought to be the light from the Heaven’s First Sect’s Slting Crystals Mine.
Slting Crystal was a special kind of crystal stone. They would imdiately lt when encountering fire. However, after the lted Slting Crystal solidify once again, not only would it be able to withstand a bigger amount of heat, it would also beco much more firr than many essence tals. It was precisely because of its property of being malleable and extrely firm, that the Slting Crystal ended up being used in crafting artifacts quite frequently. This was especially true for defensive artifacts.
Surrounding the Spirit Peak City, there was only a single Slting Crystal Mine. The mine was located in the Sheep Bone Mountain and controlled by the Heaven’s First Sect. Furthermore, the Heaven’s First Sect would only dispatch experts at Heavenly Circuit Stage or above to protect this mine. There were many low level cultivators and ordinary mortals assisting the Heaven’s First Sect in mining the Slting Crystals day and night.
Although Wei Suo felt that it was shaless for the Heaven’s First Sect to occupy the entire mine like a tyrant, there was nothing he could do even if the entire mine was given to him. That was because the translucent white colored Slting Crystals that turned black colored after slting were extrely small and mixed with lumps of various rocks. Only through a large amount of manpower would they be capable of acquiring the necessary amount of Slting Crystals. Furthermore, the flickering lights gave comfort to Wei Suo in this pitch-black mountain range.
After walking for over an hour in the pitch-black forest, Wei Suo finally arrived at the Rock Maggot Karst Cave’s entrance.
The entrance to the Rock Maggot Karst Cave was several tens of square feet big. It appeared like an enormous opened mouth on the process of swallowing people into it.
Seeing that there was no trace of Nangong Yuqing in the surrounding area of the cave, Wei Suo did not beco flustered and directly took out one of the three Transmission Jade Talismans. After he instilled so True Elental Energy into it, all three Transmission Jade Talismans he carried with him began to shine brightly. In rely a short mont, Nangong Yuqing who wore a red skintight soft leather armor rapidly walked out from the cave.
“You’re pretty smart. To think that you know such a thod to inform that you’re here.” Once Nangong Yuqing saw Wei Suo at the entrance of the cave, she imdiately said to him. “I had already called for you with the Transmission Jade Talisman several tis already. It was because I really could not wait any longer that I rushed over here first. What took you so long to co?”
“Do you have sothing urgent? Why did you search for at such a ti?” Wei Suo looked at the soft leather armor that Nangong Yuqing wore with a slight disappointnt. That was because he discovered that the cuts on her soft armor have all been nded. Not even a trace of them could be seen. Thus, he was unable to see anything at all. Seeing Nangong Yuqing’s slightly anxious expression, he imdiately offered words of explanation. “I have gone to the Cyan Deep Mountain today. I reckon that my Transmission Jade Talismans were unable to see your call because I was too far away.”
“How many Fireball Talismans do you have on you?” Nangong Yuqing directly asked.
Wei Suo was confused. He took a glance at Nangong Yuqing. “I still have about eighty or so?”
“Eighty or so?” Nangong Yuqing seed to be surprised by the amount of Fireball Talismans Wei Suo had on him. She was slightly startled. “Ti is of essence, I’ll let you know what’s going on while we walk.” However, she imdiately turned around and began to lead the road. For so unknown reason, although Wei Suo had made her wait for a long ti and she had also called for other mbers of the Iron Policy in fear that Wei Suo would not be able to get here on ti, she did not think that Wei Suo would deliberately not co.
“What? Jade Cloud Mushroom?” Wei Suo followed behind Nangong Yuqing and walked into the Rock Maggot Karst Cave. The Karst Cave was filled with stalactites and was extrely humid. After hearing just two sentences from Nangong Yuqing, Wei Suo was imdiately shocked.
It turned out that the reason why Nangong Yuqing was in such a rush to find Wei Suo was because she had chased after a level three Five Colored Centipede all the way into the Rock Maggot Karst Cave. While in the Rock Maggot Karst Cave, she discovered in a side passage of the cave a soon to be mature Jade Cloud Mushroom.
For many treasures born from the heavens, they must be plucked at a certain ti so as to not lose their Spiritual Energy. If one was to miss the timing to pluck them after they grow mature, their Spiritual Energy would be completely lost in a short period of ti. The Jade Cloud Mushroom was one such item. The Jade Cloud Mushroom was a white colored lingzhi mushroom. They were sparking, translucent and pure. At night, they would emit a jade-like brilliance. The most important usage of this sort of Spiritual Herb was that it was capable of making level five or lower demonic beast advance to the next level!
In other words, if a level five or lower demonic beast was to eat a matured Jade Cloud Mushroom, it would receive the sa effect as a cultivator below the Thought Division Stage that ate a United Void Pellet concocted by Ji Ya and imdiately level up.
To cultivators, this sort of Spiritual Herb was extrely aningful. That was because nowadays, many sects like the Golden Eagle Sect that Li Honglin belonged to, were capable of taming demonic beasts. If one was to feed a tad level four high-level demonic beast a Jade Cloud Mushroom, that demonic beast would level up to level five demonic beast. That would also be equivalent to the cultivator’s own strength increasing. After all, a level four mid-level Single Horned Thunder Viper had already almost caused Wei Suo to et his maker.
To these sects and cultivators, this sort of Spiritual Herb was a priceless treasure. Furthermore, due to the fact that the Jade Cloud Mushrooms were rare to begin with, their ti of maturity was only a single day and night and would imdiately wither and lose all Spiritual Energy afterwards. The Jade Cloud Mushrooms were things with no fixed price. However, one thing was for certain. The Jade Cloud Mushrooms were definitely sothing that could be given to the Golden Jade Pavilion to auction off.
“There’s two mushrooms.” As if sensing Wei Suo was insufficiently shocked, Nangong Yuqing who was hurriedly leading the way added.
“Holy shit!” Wei Suo was truly shocked. Two Jade Cloud Mushrooms. In that case, wouldn’t that an that if one was to feed a level four mid-level demonic beast the two Jade Cloud Mushrooms in succession, it would instantly beco a level five demonic beast? However, Wei Suo also knew very well that this sort of demonic beast’s United Void Pellet treasure would definitely have a powerful demonic beast surrounding it, waiting for it to mature. Due to the fact that the demonic beast’s operation range was much bigger than that of cultivators, would go to any filthy place, possessed better sense of sll and better perfection of Spiritual Herbs than cultivators, Wei Suo imdiately asked right away. “What level demonic beast is guarding those Jade Cloud Mushrooms?”
“It’s a level four high-level Wind Spirit Eagle.” Nangong Yuqing rapidly answered.
“Are you kidding, another level four demonic beast?!” Wei Suo scread. The Wind Spirit Eagles were a kind of large demonic beast with an external appearance like that of a large eagle. However, it had four claws and a long monkey-tail like tail. Not only could they send forth powerful and extrely sharp Wind Blades, they were also capable of shooting out their feathers like arrows. The most important aspect was that as it was a level four high-level demonic beast, it was also capable of spraying out its Demon Pellet like the Single Horned Thunder Viper.
Nangong Yuqing seed to be confused by what Wei Suo said. She slightly turned her head around and looked at Wei Suo. “Don’t worry, leave the matter of handling this Wind Spirit Eagle to .”
“Mn mn.” The extrely confident expression that Nangong Yuqing displayed caused Wei Suo to rember her Magical Treasure Fragnt that was capable of directly and easily killing a level three demonic beast. He imdiately nodded in understanding. However, after a mont, he asked, “Since you can handle that Wind Spirit Eagle, then why do you need ? Could it be that you felt it would be too lonely for you to be by yourself in the endless night?”
“Lonely your ass! You’re actually in a mood to joke around in such a ti?” Nangong Yuqing stared at Wei Suo. “Other than us, there are about thirty or so Ice Snow Mantises that were interested in these two Jade Cloud Mushrooms. They only didn’t dare to enter because they fear that Wind Spirit Eagle. They were all located outside in a cave and at a deadlock with that Wind Spirit Eagle.”
“Holy fuck! Big sis, you’re joking, right? Thirty plus Ice Snow Mantises? Exactly how many pieces do you wish for to be cut into?” Upon hearing what Nangong Yuqing said, Wei Suo nearly turned around to run away.
Being with the green gowned old man for a long ti, Wei Suo also ca to know now that there were not this many demonic beast several tens of thousands of years ago. It was due to the battle between two almighties in the past where one of the almighty deliberately attracted stars and shattered a lot of spatial tunnels did there beco this many various demonic beasts. Later on, all of these demonic beasts were given nas by the cultivators. For example, this ice elental demonic beast Ice Snow Mantis looked like a half man-sized mantis. That was the reason why it ended up having such a na. However, the Ice Snow Mantises were, without a doubt, level three high-level demonic beast. Not only were they capable of spraying out Ice Cold Energy, its two forelimbs that looked like machetes were extrely sharp weapons capable of dismbering others easily. If Wei Suo was to handle one or two of them, then it would definitely not be an issue for him. However, if thirty plus of them were to charge at him together, then Wei Suo could only stand there and obediently be cut apart by the blades.
“What are you scared for? Did you think I called you here just so that you could throw your life away?” Nangong Yuqing gave Wei Suo a side-eye. “I have already checked them multiple tis now. Those thirty plus Ice Snow Mantises were constantly located in a cave outside of the location where the two Jade Cloud Mushrooms were growing and at a constant stalemate with the Wind Spirit Eagle. Although the cave where they’re at was pretty big, the tunnel connecting that cave with the cave where the Jade Cloud Mushrooms are at and the tunnel connecting that cave with here, are not spacious at all. With the two of us, we should be able to block the tunnel. Furthermore, for ice elental demonic beast like the Ice Snow Mantises, their resistance against fire elental skill techniques are going to be weaker. As long as we block the exit and you continue to cast Fireball Talismans nonstop, they would likely only have two options to choose from. They would either be burned to death by you by staying in the cave or they would rush to the other tunnel toward the cave where the Wind Spirit Eagle was and fight it.”
“In that case, you should’ve told that earlier. You’ve made my heart so scared that it was jumping and pounding.” Wei Suo ‘he he’’ laughed. “Casting Fireball Talismans, they’re what I’m most proficient in.”
Right when Wei Suo was saying this to Nangong Yuqing, the conveying array of the Sheep Bone Mountain shined. Two cultivators walked out from the conveying array. One of the cultivator, a young male who wore a red colored gown, had a helpless expression on his face. Beside him was an extrely charming young woman. As for her, she had an excited expression on her face. As for this excited young woman, she wore a silver colored robe. It was the girl who had been snatched two Rock Tailed Wall Lizards by Wei Suo, Han Weiwei.
