“What is this thing?” Chen Mu curiously looked at the Divine Will Talisman that had appeared in the Jade Seed.
He glanced at the grey walls.
A new entry appeared out of nowhere.
Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique: 9976/10000/Second Rank;
A vast epiphany instantly flooded into his mind.
It took a while for Chen Mu to regain his clarity.
“Seven Souls Return to Origin can actually snatch the secret technique talisman of a magical weapon?” Chen Mu was astonished.
He glanced again at the Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique, which was about to advance, and his lips curled up involuntarily.
“This is not just a power bank, it’s an experience pack!”
He didn’t act as the Wood Spirit Boy anymore, he scrambled to the surface, piloted the flying kite, and arrived at a dense forest at the foot of the mountain.
“Triple Yin Slaying Demon!”
Hum!
Stay updated with empire
Eighteen semi-transparent, ghastly green blades of cold light suddenly materialized in front of him.
Crescent-shaped Qi Blades formed a Blade Net, covering a tall tree over ten meters high.
Schlick!
A light sound followed as the Blade Net tumbled.
A thick, sturdy tree instantly got chopped into fist-sized chunks.
A human-head-sized rock at the base of the tree was scraped by the Blade Net and suddenly split in half.
“Such sharp blade light!” Chen Mu was startled, then immediately overjoyed.
He had been thinking of finding a new secret technique to learn.
Now, however, he had gotten a nearly Second Rank Perfection offensive killing secret technique for free. How could Chen Mu be anything but happy?
Looking at the secret technique about to advance, Chen Mu’s enthusiasm for grinding experience surged.
He released the Five Ghosts to monitor the surrounding environment.
He immediately began to release the Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique repeatedly.
Half an hour later.
Hum!
Thirty-six blades of light materialized out of thin air in front of him, forming a Blade Net two men tall in diameter.
The blades roared and tumbled forward.
Approaching a large rock protruding from the ground and about one person tall, the Blade Net suddenly contracted.
Zing, zing, zing…
A series of sounds like swords being drawn rang out.
The whole rock was instantly sliced up!
Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique: 6/10000/Third Rank;
“Good!”
…
Three days later.
In a dense forest thirty miles southwest of Peng Yue Mountain.
“I still need to trouble the brothers and sisters to scout,” said Shang Huan, wearing a black cloak and holding a white mask, his small eyes squinted with a flattering smile.
“It’s part of our duty,” Lu Ku said with a smile, looking at Shi Xian.
A pitch-black sphere rapidly expanded from Shi Xian’s hands, spreading like a light breeze in all directions.
After a good while, Shi Xian opened his eyes. “There’s an ambush.”
Shang Huan’s face turned bitter. “Looks like we’ll need to change people again.”
As time passed, the effects of the Wood Spirit Boy became apparent.
The complementary Spiritual Pulp began to attract attention; this was the third ambush discovered tonight.
“Money moves hearts.” Lu Ku laughed in agreement.
“It’s that person from last time. They’ve brought the Wood Spirit Boy with them again,” Wu Ruo suddenly spoke.
Lu Ku’s face remained unchanged, but his right hand subtly made a gesture.
Yu Lin stepped forward without a sound, blocking Shang Huan’s line of sight.
Hidden behind Yu Lin, Wu Ruo immediately closed his eyes.
…
Five or six miles away, behind a towering tree reaching into the clouds.
Zhang Jin frowned and looked down, enveloped by a pale mist.
The small wooden horse tied at his waist suddenly started shaking.
He took the wooden horse off his belt and threw it on the ground. Watching the horse hop and stop, Zhang Jin’s mouth turned up in a smile.
“The informant has arrived, hasn’t he!”
The wooden horse moved intermittently, constantly changing direction.
“This insider doesn’t want to reveal their identity!”
Zhang Jin wasn’t in a hurry at all, leisurely following behind the wooden horse.
He wasn’t interested in the identity of the insider; he just wanted to find that Artifact Refiner.
Gradually, he followed the wooden horse into a dense forest.
The wooden horse’s movement and speed slowed down, and Zhang Jin lightened his footsteps accordingly.
“Have we arrived?”
…
Within the forest, Shang Huan, with a white mask and carrying a big bundle on his back, stepped unevenly under the moonlight, walking deeper into the forest until he arrived at its center where he stopped.
He jumped onto a big tree, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
He stayed crouched in the tree for half an hour, ensuring there was no activity, before he finally jumped down from the tree and came to the edge of a grassy area.
He reached out, lifted the turf, revealing a hollow space underneath, Shang Huan didn’t hesitate any longer and leaped into it.
Four meters underground, an egg-shaped cellar was brightly lit.
Most of the space was occupied by rows of wooden racks filled with sealed bamboo tubes, each as long as a forearm and as thick as a fist.
Shang Huan checked each rack one by one, to prevent the bamboo tubes from rotting or cracking, which could cause the Spiritual Pulp inside to leak.
The damp and stifling environment quickly made him sweat profusely.
But this could not stop the joy on Shang Huan’s face.
After checking the bamboo tube, he unraveled the package he had just brought and poured it into the wooden basin at his feet.
Splash…
A large bag of White Jade fell into the wooden basin.
“Haha! Counting money, counting money…”
Crack!
A light sound came from above his head.
Shang Huan, who had been counting excitedly, suddenly stiffened.
He sprang to the entrance leading to the ground above and looked up to see the wooden board covering the hole being slowly pushed open.
Gulp!
Shang Huan couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Then he saw a face fatter than a pig, like a rabbit’s, squeezing through the entrance.
Shang Huan: “…”
Where the heck did this pig-rabbit come from!
You’re scaring me to death!
…
Ten miles away, in the dense forest.
A small wooden horse leaped into a pool of water.
Splash!
A big toad with red skin and brown warts suddenly leaped out of the water.
It shot its tongue out at Zhang Jin on the shore.
Whizz!
A dense mass of pitch-black arrows materialized from thin air, piercing the red-skinned toad through.
Zhang Jin’s face was extremely grim.
“Good! Very good!”
Whizz!
Another thick swarm of Yin Sha Secret Arrows appeared. The already-dead toad was instantly turned into mush!
…
Outside the camp of the Third Pioneering Team in the Bingchen District.
“Why suddenly stop us?” Lu Ku looked at Xu Rao, puzzled.
Xu Rao’s face, usually gloomy, was filled with a strange expression.
Worry, excitement, gain, and loss.
“See for yourself!” He didn’t explain and simply gestured towards a spot not far away.
“Three Yin Slaying Demon!”
Whizz!
Thirty-six Qi Blades materialized and a rolling Blade Net surged forward, shattering grass, wood, and stone into bits wherever it passed.
“The Slaying Demon Technique has returned.”
“And I’ve broken through the bottleneck I’ve been stuck at for a year!”
“Not only did Gongsun Sheng not plunder your secret technique,” Yu Lin said incredulously, his honest face filled with disbelief: “He actually helped you upgrade?”
Is there such good luck?!
The other five exchanged glances.
It seemed that following Gongsun Sheng was indeed very promising!
“This isn’t fair!” Ai Ji’s eyes bulged round with indignation.
“Why is it always my spirit that is drained, yet Xu Rao is upgraded first!”
The five others looked at Ai Ji with a strange expression.
Such an unlucky fellow…
…
In the Yiyou District, in front of the long corridor outside Chen Mu’s wooden house.
A rocking chair was placed under the east side window.
Chen Mu slumped in it, leisurely swaying as he gazed at the sky.
“Wood Spirit Boy really does make money.”
“But it’s also truly bothersome!”
A power bank could replenish the spirit, but Wood Spirit Boy’s Artifact Refining Technique had reached its peak. Although there were still faint insights, he couldn’t see the experience points, which annoyed him.
“Endure it.”
“Making money, what isn’t difficult?”
He switched to the gray wall. Looking at the Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique still obediently sitting atop it, Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.
Inside the Jade Seed, a brand-new Talisman floated and drifted amidst the smoky mana fog.
“Still, my own Talismans are more pleasing to the eye.”
The essence of a Talisman is mana, and the essence of mana is the Three Elements Unification of Vital Energy, Divine Energy, and Earth Spirit Vital Energy.
Plundered Talismans, though usable, ultimately bear another’s imprint.
If someone else used the Seven Souls Return to Origin, they could probably only plunder, like cutting and pasting a file.
“But I have a cheat!” Chen Mu chuckled.
The gray wall helped him record the structure of the Secret Technique Talisman.
Even if the plundered Talismans were returned, he could quickly reconstruct them using mana.
“Like copy and paste.”
This is the real experience pack!
Chen Mu eagerly stared at the seven bright pearls in the mist outside the Jade Seed, as if looking at a collection of exquisite blind boxes.
Although he didn’t know what was inside, there was definitely something, and it was from high-quality blind boxes.
“You better cultivate some good secret techniques!”
