That was distinctly a fist-sized Spirit Stone, except this one was peculiar, with its entire body shimmering in gold, and the naked eye could see the immense Spiritual Energy flowing within it!
"Spirit Stone... is it a superior-grade Spirit Stone? Such a large one at that?"
The Mysterious Yin Demon Girl couldn’t help but be shocked.
Spirit Stones, only birthed after long eras and in places abundant with Spiritual Energy, contain vast amounts of Spiritual Energy. Inferior-grade Spirit Stones are most common, while middle-grade ones are already quite rare.
As for superior-grade Spirit Stones, they are formed only in Cave Heaven and Blessed Lands with highly concentrated Spiritual Energy over an extended period.
"Such a large superior-grade Spirit Stone, as big as a fist... Converted to standard inferior-grade Spirit Stones, it would be worth tens of thousands!"
The Mysterious Yin Demon Girl’s exotic eyes were also brimming with heat. Spirit Stones were valuable to them, useful for cultivation or setting up Kill Arrays for their sects, and a high-quality superior-grade Spirit Stone like this was particularly precious – nobody would think they had too many!
"Do those Wind Beasts contain superior-grade Spirit Stones inside them?"
Su Changkong also saw this scene, and his eyes immediately lit up.
No matter how many Spirit Stones he had, Su Changkong would never think it too many. He mastered the Guiding Technique, which could condense Spiritual Energy into Innate Qi, and the energy from a superior-grade Spirit Stone like this—his gains would be considerable!
"Roar!"
The Wind Beasts, formed from Spiritual Energy and Hurricane, came from the depths of the fog with the wind, their roars incessant. But in everyone’s eyes, they were just treasures delivered to their doorstep!
Su Changkong stepped forward, using Shrinking into Inches to appear in front of a massive tiger-formed Wind Beast. His right fist hammered down, with the power of White Tiger Roars and Kills concentrated at his fist.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The moment his fist struck, a series of explosive sounds erupted, causing shockwaves and disintegration. The giant tiger’s body burst apart inch by inch, transforming into violent wind blades that scattered and charged in all directions.
Su Changkong immediately dodged with agile movements, and with a grasp in the air, he performed Demon Ape Capturing Space!
Among the wind blades exploding in the air, he caught a half-fist-sized pale-golden superior-grade Spirit Stone and pulled it towards him.
"Is this really a superior-grade Spirit Stone? This Spiritual Energy is so rich! A single one could be compressed and refined into dozens of strands of Innate Qi!"
Su Changkong, holding the superior-grade Spirit Stone and feeling its rich Spiritual Energy, couldn’t help but exclaim. This was also his first time obtaining a superior-grade Spirit Stone.
"Try to get as many as possible!"
Su Changkong was fired up. He set out again and again, weaving through the Hurricane, slaying one Wind Beast after another, each containing a superior-grade Spirit Stone of varying sizes!
"This Long Family is indeed wealthy! Giving away so many gifts just upon entering?"
The other Martial Artists did not want to be outdone, actively hunting the Wind Beasts to obtain the superior-grade Spirit Stones within them. They were all amazed by the wealth of the Long Family.
But this was normal. The Long Family, once the ruler of a country with control over a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, could continuously produce all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, with Spirit Stones being only one of them!
With the fall of the Long Family, this Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky had not been opened for two to three thousand years. Over such a long period, the newly formed resources within the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky went uncollected and unused, naturally accumulating to the point where treasures were everywhere!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The ten people who entered the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky all used their skills to hunt the Wind Beasts within the Hurricane, even Gu Lie of the Heavenly God Imperial Dynasty, the Gold-armored God General, took action one after another.
Resources and treasures—no one would think they had too many. Even if they themselves didn’t need them, they could give them to their relatives, disciples, which was always a good thing!
The strength of these Wind Beasts was actually quite formidable, each comparable to an Innate Martial Artist at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, but the ten individuals who entered the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky were top powerhouses from all over.
These Wind Beasts posed little threat to them and were subsequently killed one after another, revealing the superior-grade Spirit Stones they carried.
"Huff!"
With the last Wind Beast shattered, the howling winds coming from ahead gradually stopped, and no new Wind Beasts emerged.
"Is it over?" the Heavenly Corpse Old Man smacked his lips, feeling somewhat unfulfilled.
"15 superior-grade Spirit Stones of various sizes, all refined into Innate Qi, enough to condense three or four drops of Mysterious Turtle True Yuan!"
Su Changkong’s gains were significant, obtaining a total of 15 superior-grade Spirit Stones.
At this moment, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man looked towards Su Changkong and chuckled, "Brother Blade, these Spirit Stones seem useful to you, but to the likes of me now, they’re of no use. If you don’t despise them, please take them!"
With a flick of his sleeve, the superior-grade Spirit Stones floated up, big and small, totaling 13 pieces, obtained by the Heavenly Corpse Old Man when he hunted those Wind Beasts.
Su Changkong was slightly surprised at the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s generosity, but after a brief thought, he understood his intention.
In the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, the only ally of the Heavenly Corpse Old Man was Su Changkong.
After all, there was no deep hatred between Su Changkong and Mo Junling, but the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had a real life-and-death grudge against him. The Heavenly Corpse Old Man might not be able to defeat Mo Junling alone, not to mention the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl, another leader of the Demon Path.
Facing the two of them, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had no chance of winning. Therefore, what he could do was to win over Su Changkong. Only if the two of them joined hands, in a two-on-two battle, would they have a chance of victory.
Furthermore, with the Heavenly Corpse Sect wiped out, the superior-grade Spirit Stones weren’t of much use to the Heavenly Corpse Old Man, which is why he was willing to give his gains to Su Changkong in exchange for trust and alliance! 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"Then I shall accept them!"
Understanding the intention of the Heavenly Corpse Old Man, Su Changkong did not hesitate and, with a wave of his hand, gathered all the superior-grade Spirit Stones into the Bag of Book Fragrance.
When he had time to refine the superior-grade Spirit Stones into Innate Qi, then absorb and transform them into Mysterious Turtle True Yuan, increasing the quantity of his True Yuan, his strength would increase—thus, the more the better for Su Changkong!
Furthermore, with the ruthlessness and retributive nature Mo Junling showed in wiping out the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s Heavenly Corpse Sect, and the fact that Su Changkong had previously interfered with his pursuit of the Heavenly Corpse Old Man and his raid on the Evil Sect, he had already made an enemy.
If it came to a fight, Su Changkong would eradicate the problem at its root—to eliminate any future threats!
