After storing away the corpse of the green sky maelstrom, Xu Yan looked at the black clouded swamp bubbling with poison, as well as the collapsed black rock mountain. After a moment’s hesitation, he turned and entered the collapsed mountain.
There should be high-grade spiritual medicine there.
Some remnants should remain.
However, after some exploration, Xu Yan discovered that the remaining treasures within Black Rock Mountain had already been thoroughly looted.
He thought of the crystal snake.
Since there were no more treasures, Xu Yan didn’t linger, and promptly left the Black Cloud Swamp.
News of the corruption of the Green Sky Maelstrom’s tomb would soon spread, and even the Refining God Heavenly Man might descend. His current strength was no match for a Refining God Heavenly Man.
Shen Haizhou also turned to leave at this moment.
While pondering his next move, the corpse of the Green Sky Maelstrom was already in his hands. He had obtained both the Blue Maelstrom Tree and Dragon’s Eye Fruit. However, he was still somewhat short of accumulating enough foundation to break through to the Divine Intent State.
Xu Yan considered, the next step should be to further understand the Spirit Realm, and learn about Yuzhou.
“Let’s go to the city and see if there are any shops selling spiritual objects. I still have some Spirit Crystals, and I will try to gather all the spiritual objects needed to cultivate myself as soon as possible.”
It may seem wasteful that the spiritual medicine hadn’t been made into pills and was swallowed directly.
However, in order to accumulate enough resources to break through to the Divine Intent State in the Spirit Realm as soon as possible, Xu Yan didn’t care much about this little wastage.
As long as he had enough Spirit Crystals, he could always buy Spiritual Medicine.
“There are no pills in the Spirit Realm. If my junior sister comes to the Spirit Realm and the Chang Qing Pavilion develops here, it will accumulate quickly.”
The Spirit Realm truly is a place of cultivation. The fifth-grade spiritual medicine that is rare in the Inner Domain is just a middle to low-grade spiritual medicine in the Spirit Realm.
The gap between the Inner Domain and the Spirit Realm is indeed quite large. No wonder the Spirit Realm Powerhouses look down upon the Inner Domain, considering it to be a place of inferiority.
As soon as he entered the Spirit Realm, right after he learned about the tomb of the Green Sky Maelstrom from Dai Yingying, he rushed over straight away, afraid he would miss the chance to enter.
Therefore, he hadn’t been to any town in Zheng Country before. Now that the incident with the Green Sky Maelstrom’s tomb was over, and the fact that the Green Sky Maelstrom had turned into a corpse would certainly cause a sensation.
The actions of various forces associated with the powerful heavenly geniuses could only be grasped by going to the city.
“Since I have taken the Green Sky Maelstrom, I might get targeted, and I should hide myself to avoid being discovered.”
Xu Yan pondered.
“My skill of merging with the world can avoid attention from the powerful. As long as I hide properly, even a Refining God Heavenly Man can be evaded.”
As he looked up, the surroundings were a desolate landscape.
The tomb of the Green Sky Maelstrom was located in a desolate area. After Xu Yan left the Gate of Lingyu, he followed the direction indicated by Dai Yingying and came all the way to his destination–the Black Cloud Swamp.
He hadn’t seen any city along the way.
At this moment, Xu Yan was unsure which direction to head towards to enter a city.
“I was careless, I should’ve asked Shen Haizhou earlier.”
Xu Yan was slightly annoyed.
After some thought, he chose a direction and prepared to go.
All of a sudden!
A beam of light shot out!
The speed was so swift that it was like a sword, closing the distance on him in an instant.
Xu Yan’s eyes turned cold as he unleashed a powerful aura, sending out waves of dragon might. A giant, golden dragon head blasted out from him.
His eyes sparkling, he glared fiercely at the incoming light!
“I could tame even a dragon, and easily subdue a Green Sky Maelstrom. How dare an insignificant snake act recklessly!”
Xu Yan sneered in his heart.
The approaching Crystal Snake suddenly became soft midway through its journey; the entire snake was trembling. The mighty power radiating from him incited fear in it, a fear that came from deep within its bloodline, from its very soul.
The entire snake became weak, unable to muster any strength at all.
Xu Yan caught hold of the crystal snake by its neck with one grab. The snake’s mouth was wide open, its forked tongue lolling out.
The next moment, it was about to be choked to death!
The crystal snake was frightened out of its wits, blurting out in a hurry: “I’m here to bring treasure!”
Xu Yan, who was about to choke the snake to death, loosened his grip slightly upon hearing that it was there to deliver treasure. He stretched out two fingers, kneading the little bulge on its head.
“To deliver a treasure, you should have said so earlier!”
The crystal snake nearly burst into tears; it had had a narrow escape!
Thankfully it reacted quickly. If it had been any slower, it would have been choked to death by now!
“Where’s the treasure?”
Xu Yan asked, releasing his hold on the crystal snake’s neck. But his dragon might was still suppressing it.
The crystal snake opened its mouth and spat out a storage bag.
Xu Yan opened the storage bag and saw that it was filled with the spiritual medicine from the Green Sky Maelstrom’s tomb.
After tucking the storage bag away, just as the Crystal Snake was about to heave a sigh of relief, Xu Yan grabbed it by the neck again.
“The Green Sky Maelstrom was captured by me and I am the victor, these are rightfully mine. Seeing that you returned my rightful possessions, I will forget about your theft.
“However, your attack against me in the tomb is a crime you cannot erase.”
One thing at a time, the crystal snake’s attack on him in the tomb could not be ignored.
“The treasures I mentioned were not these!”
The snake, its mouth forced open and its forked tongue sticking out from being choked again, hastily retorted.
“Oh, there’s more treasure?”
Xu Yan let go slightly and looked at it leisurely, “If you’re lying to me, I will make snake soup out of you!”
“No, no!”
The crystal snake wagged its tail, and flickered its forked tongue, completely submissive.
“Where’s the treasure?”
Xu Yan asked, squinting his eyes.
“The… the treasure isn’t on me… Oops!”
The snake’s neck was grabbed again by a hand, which almost choked it to death.
