Chapter 503: Strength Surges Again

Although the vast majority were empty inside, they did indeed find quite a few things. The most were various spirit herbs, about eight hundred or so.

A small part were artifact refining materials, mostly Second-Stage, and a small amount of Third-Stage, and they also opened seventy or eighty jade slips.

Many of these jade slips were introductions to the trial secret realm and some cultivation experience notes of cultivators, and there were no particularly precious things.

Lin Zhangqing took the opportunity to mix the refining method of the Imperial Soul Shield into it. He did this because, with their current abilities, it was very difficult to refine such treasures!

And Chen Zi Ya's divine soul defense ability was very poor, which could be said to be basically non-existent, so he wanted to take this opportunity.

To ask his great-grandmother to come forward and refine a few soul-protecting shields so that everyone could use them, which could also reduce a shortcoming! When Chen Zi Ya saw the refining jade slip of the Imperial Soul Shield, she was also very happy and excited, sharing the thing with Lin Zhangqing at the first opportunity.

It was just that she didn't know that this thing was actually shared by Lin Zhangqing to her.

However, when she carefully read the specific materials needed for refining, she realized that this was not a simple matter!

Because the soul-system main materials inside, even for Golden Core cultivators, were considered quite precious and rare things, and they were not so easy to get! At the very least, with their Foundation Establishment level, it was quite difficult to get these things! So after the two discussed, they decided to find an opportunity to hand over the refining method to his great-grandmother.

He believed that if it could really be refined by then, the two would naturally have their own share!

And although Lin Zhangqing already had one soul-protecting shield, who would dislike having too many such treasures! Even if he didn't use it himself, it would be good to give it to his family!

The remaining things were a pile of messy sundries and clothes, which actually filled three whole storage bags.

These useless things would be dealt with when there was a chance. Finally, over one hundred and thirty identity jade tokens were collected.

This could be considered meat on the chicken crown, belonging to the extra ones. However, after the two discussed, they decided not to exchange them all.

At most, they would exchange eighty or ninety, because both of them didn't want to attract the attention of the high-level Qingyun Sect.

Worried that Chen Zi Ya's departure from the Qingyun Sect in the future would cause unnecessary trouble, so both of them decided to handle it low-key!

In this way, this harvest was all counted, and the two also had a count of the resources obtained.

Most of the medium-grade spirit stones, about half of the pills, and all the spirit herbs were with Lin Zhangqing.

The remaining half of the pills, over six hundred spiritual artifacts, and some messy things were with Chen Zi Ya.

By the time Hu Yunna helped deal with them, the resources obtained would also be handed over to Chen Zi Ya to handle.

After all, by that time, Lin Zhangqing would definitely have gone out to travel and wouldn't have time to manage these things.

Because it took about half a month to fly over last time, the return journey was estimated to be about the same.

On the second day on the treasure ship, because besides normal cultivation, there was nothing else to do on the ship, but he didn't want time to be wasted like this.

So after discussing with Chen Zi Ya, he decided to take out the remaining two Thunder Bird eggs and continue refining them, converting these precious resources into his own strength! But this time he wasn't so anxious, and the two Thunder Bird eggs were absorbed and refined over twelve days.

Because he wasn't in a hurry this time, doing so wasn't as painful as last time, and he successfully opened fifty-six more thunder apertures for himself.

Plus the forty-two that had been opened before, he had now opened a total of ninety-eight thunder apertures.

And by this time, his body refining cultivation had surged again, equivalent to the late stage of Second-Stage body refining! Although his body size didn't increase or become stronger, he felt that his strength should be at least fifty thousand jin or more!

It was just that he was still on the treasure ship returning to the Jiyun Mountain base, so it was inconvenient to test it!

However, because his strength suddenly surged, he didn't continue to cultivate for the last two or three days, but specially used it to adapt to his body with surging strength.

In the last few days, Lin Zhangqing had accidentally crushed three or four teacups. Chen Zi Ya's favorite tea set was now finished! Fortunately, after adapting for these few days, he could finally basically control his body's strength. He only needed to practice for a period of time, and he would definitely be able to achieve perfect control!

And today was the fifteenth day of the return journey. They would soon return to the base. The two snuggled together to drink tea again, but this time, they used Lin Zhangqing's tea set!

At this time, a majestic but clear voice spread throughout the treasure ship.

"All disciples participating in the trial listen carefully. The rewards promised this time can be collected at the Affairs Hall in three days! Those who use the identity jade tokens of other sects to pay for treasures can go to the Sect Treasure Pavilion to exchange them within ten days. It will not be accepted after the deadline. I hope all disciples are aware! This time, all disciples who completed the trial can be considered to have obtained some opportunities."

"But the price paid, you have all seen with your own eyes! The immortal path is difficult, and the Great Dao is only for competition! So I hope everyone will properly grasp this trace of opportunity this time and strive to go further on the immortal path."

"And in the future, you can become the backbone of the sect and contribute your strength to the inheritance and continuation of the sect. That's it!"

After this voice that shocked the divine soul disappeared, Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya looked at each other.

Knowing that it was Ancestor Lieyang of the sect just now, speaking to all of them, summarizing the follow-up arrangements for this trial.

It also let them feel the power of the Nascent Soul True Monarch at close range again. Just a normal sound transmission shocked everyone! The two spent a little time digesting this newly obtained information.

At this time, the treasure ship had just returned to the sect square in Jiyun Mountain.

After the two got off the treasure ship, the voice of his great-grandmother came to his ears again.

Telling them to rest for a day and meet at the peak tomorrow morning! After the two agreed, they accompanied the only surviving female cultivator of the Chengxia Peak lineage and returned to their residence together.

This surviving Senior Sister, named Li Xiangzhu, had obtained an opportunity and now had the cultivation of the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

However, at this time, she was not happy at all, because the two senior brothers who were very close and familiar to her had all fallen into the trial secret realm.
