Chapter 155 - Beauty Doing Hard Labor
After Jiu Shen removed the array carvings on the stone coffin, the bright golden radiance it emitted suddenly died down, making it look like an ordinary stone coffin. Although Jiu Shen had already deactivated the array formation engraved on this stone coffin, he still didn’t lower down his guard since there might be a trap laid inside.
Without looking at Xia Xinyue, he said to her in a calm voice. "Elder Xia, move back a bit. There might be sothing dangerous inside."
Xia Xinyue nodded her head gravely when she heard Jiu Shen’s words. She then took a few steps backward while looking curiously at the stone coffin.
Jiu Shen fixed his gaze on the coffin and muttered to himself. "The main material used in making this stone coffin is the Purple Obsidian Rock which can block the use of spiritual perception. With my current spiritual power, my spiritual perception still can’t penetrate this stone coffin made from Purple Obsidian Rock."
Jiu Shen tried using his spiritual perception to get a glimpse of what’s inside the coffin, but an invisible power seed to block his sight. In the end, he could only pry it open to see what is inside this stone coffin.
Jiu Shen slowly pushed open the lid of the stone coffin causing it to emit a sound similar to the grinding stones. He relaxed his guard after seeing that there was nothing wrong with the stone coffin. And when he saw what was inside, Jiu Shen’s eyes revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
Inside the coffin was a partially dried-up corpse dressed in embroidered purple robes. The corpse’s hands were resting on its chest where an intact book with glittering silver cover can be seen.
Jiu Shen ignored the book since he had already seen what it was. It was a book about Array Formation, and it was definitely the book that cultivated this deceased expert into a high-level Array Formation Maker. Although it was precious, Jiu Shen had already read countless books that were many tis better compared to that one. However, he would still take a look at the book on the corpse’s hands later as it might contain a piece of precious information about array formation. Finally, Jiu Shen’s gaze rested on the space ring on the corpse’s left index finger.
"The God Crystals should be inside this space ring. After getting it, my mission here will be done." Jiu Shen smiled as he reached out his hands on the space ring.
Xia Xinyue was nervously looking at Jiu Shen as he took the space ring from the corpse’s hand. After seeing that nothing went wrong, she sighed in relief. "Good thing this expert still had so conscience before he died..."
Jiu Shen inspected the space ring and saw hundreds of God Crystals inside. There were also so miscellaneous items such as Earth Weapons, Divine Weapons, cultivation pills, and etc.
Seeing this Jiu Shen felt a bit excited since the system had already ntioned that the God Crystals could help him in increasing his cultivation level. Although this amount of God Crystals was minuscule in his eyes, it was still a good harvest for the current him as it had many uses. However, he will keep it to himself since he had already planned to break through to the Nascent God Realm.
He then took a casual glance at the book on the corpse’s hands and read the contents of the book only to be disappointed. "Book of Array Formation. What a low quality trash! This can be found in every sect of the Primordial God Realm... Hm, I can give this to Sulan so that she can train a few Array Formation Makers for the sect."
Without hesitation, he placed everything inside his space earring, including the contents of the space ring owned by the deceased expert. He then tossed the empty space ring to the curious Xia Xinyue and said calmly. "The contents of the ring are useful to , so I can only give this to you. Although it looks shabby, it is still much better compared to the common space rings in Nuar."
Xia Xinyue caught the space ring with a surprised look. She beca even more stunned when she realized that the space ring could actually increase the circulation speed of her true essence. It must be noted that if one’s true essence circulation is fast, the ti one needed to cast their techniques will be much lower compared to those with slower true essence circulation speed. With this, she would gain an advantage if she fought against cultivators with similar levels of strength, and even if she encountered cultivators that are much stronger than her, she could still escape from them. Aside from all of this, the space inside this ring was also many tis bigger than the one she owned right now. The value of this space ring wasn’t small just from the space inside. Not to ntion its ability to increase its owner’s true essence circulation speed.
Xia Xinyue felt grateful in her heart as she looked at Jiu Shen’s expressionless face. She didn’t do anything during the entire cave exploration and she was even a burden to Jiu Shen, but he still gave her sothing with great value.
"Lord Sect Master, thank you for your gift." She said as she bowed her head respectfully. In her heart, she had already vowed to follow Jiu Shen’s orders faithfully.
Jiu Shen didn’t know that he could gain this beautiful lady’s loyalty with just a space ring that he deed as trash. He nodded his head at her and said in an indifferent tone. "Since we’ve already completed our mission here, we should leave this place now."
Xia Xinyue bowed her head in obeisance. "Yes, Lord Sect Master, but what about the corpse of this expert?"
Jiu Shen thought for a mont before looking at the corpse inside the stone coffin. "Since we have already taken his possessions, we should give him a proper burial."
Xia Xinyue nodded her head in agreent. "Yes, Lord Sect Master. I will get this done imdiately."
After saying those words, she imdiately closed the stone coffin before looking for a spot to dig. After finding the perfect spot, she started digging using her sword. Of course, she used her true essence as she dug out the ground, making the digging process fast, but looking at the scene of this beautiful woman doing hard labor, it would surely elicit anyone’s sympathy and pity, but Jiu Shen rely glanced at this with a poker face.
He then took out a chair from his space earring and watched Xia Xinyue with a look of interest after taking a seat on his chair. "This woman isn’t that bad. She knows what to do..." He muttered with an amused expression.
- Ding!
- Side Mission: Gather God Crystals in the mysterious cave. Completed!
- Loading Rewards!
- Received x2 Fruit of Cultivation!
Jiu Shen heard the system’s notification for completing his mission, making him let out a faint smile. "With the help of the two Fruits of Cultivation and the God Crystals, I wonder how strong I would beco..."
His cultivation level was now at the late stage of the 9th-rank Saint. Although his strength is comparable to a Nascent God Realm expert with his Seamless Deity Physique and Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword, he would still have to use a bit of effort when fighting against them. He might have defeated the puppet earlier but its strength was only comparable to an early stage Nascent God Realm expert. Not to ntion that so of its strength was greatly eroded after the long passing of ti.
Just that, what kind of lightning tribulation would he encounter especially because he has the Seamless Deity Physique? Even Jiu Shen had no idea about it.
