Chapter 609: A Crystallized Eye

The situation here was about the same as when he had left a few days ago.

But for the sake of safety, Lin Zhangqing still released the Purple Crystal Scorpions, letting them enter the caves to scout again.

After confirming there were no problems, he walked in himself. He looked at a dozen or so caves and found that many caves were connected to each other.

This was also good; he wouldn't be blocked by anyone casually.

So he directly chose the deepest cave and found a suitable position inside to serve as his place for closed-door cultivation.

He set up the two formations he had on him and activated them all.

Then he sent all the Purple Crystal Scorpions out, scattering them around the small valley, letting them hide and act as his guardians.

After doing all this, he finally felt a bit of security. It was truly the case that moving casually would lead to encountering Third-Stage demon beasts.

Especially Third-Stage thunder-attribute demon beasts; every time they suddenly gave him a divine thunder from far away, he was truly a bit scared.

If he hadn't been cautious and had numerous defensive spiritual artifacts on him, someone else would have died long ago! However, Lin Zhangqing couldn't rest yet.

Because from last night until now, he was covered in injuries, and it was injury upon injury.

So he began to check his body and found that all of them were lightning strike injuries.

He hadn't expected that as a thunder cultivator, the injury he received the most was actually thunder-attribute damage. He was truly speechless!

Of course, this also proved the formidable nature of thunder techniques from another angle: rapid attacks and powerful lethality. It was indeed worthy of being the number one killing method in the cultivation world.

He took another Spring Return Pill and operated his cultivation method to absorb it, only then feeling his body a bit more comfortable.

Just like this, five days passed without knowing it!

These past few days, Lin Zhangqing had been healing with all his might. Thanks to the powerful recovery ability of a body cultivator, as of today, he had finally completely recovered.

And Chu Yi's condition was also much better. It was worthy of being a spirit beast; its recovery ability was indeed strong. Its recovery was even better than what Lin Zhangqing had predicted at the time.

Now its wounds had grown some new flesh, but the injuries it had suffered this time were indeed relatively serious, so it still needed time to recover slowly.

And today happened to be the sixteenth day Lin Zhangqing had entered the secret realm, so he still had about two and a half months of time he could use for cultivation.

However, before officially starting cultivation, he still had one thing to do, which was to process the corpses of the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape and the Black-Feathered Mystic Thunder Bird.

So he released them from the spirit beast bracelet. Unfortunately, many days had passed, and the blood on their bodies had already coagulated.

Because time had been tight at the time, he hadn't collected their blood first, which was equivalent to wasting a lot of spirit stones in vain.

The processing of the Black-Feathered Mystic Thunder Bird wouldn't be mentioned; it was the same as before: take the demon core, pluck the feathers, and keep the remaining skeleton and demon beast meat to feed the spirit insects and spirit beasts.

The most important thing was the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape. One had to know that at the time, Lin Zhangqing had been draped in the light gauze magic treasure, traveling in the forest after turning invisible.

Although he had more or less left some traces around when passing through,

the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape had been able to accurately judge his position and, after locking onto him, gave him a Wu Earth Divine Thunder.

So Lin Zhangqing suspected that it was still that third eye of the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape that had seen through his invisibility. Of course, this was just his own speculation, so he prepared to take out the third eye of the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape this time to check it.

To see if this eye was also a spiritual material, Lin Zhangqing immediately set to work, first taking out its demon core.

The fur on this Thunder Ape had been riddled with holes by the Purple Crystal Scorpions, so it didn't have much use.

Finally, there were the four fangs, one and a half feet long, growing in its mouth. These things were clearly Third-Stage spiritual materials.

They could be used to forge a set of Third-Stage flying sword magic treasures. Lin Zhangqing packed them separately in a jade box, preparing to handle them when he had a chance later.

After finishing all this, only the eyes remained. However, in order not to damage the eyes, he chose to break open the entire skull.

And then he took out all three eyes. Among them, two eyes were very ordinary and had no utilization value at all.

While the other eye was slightly larger than those two, and the entire eye had already completely crystallized!

This crystallized eye was about the size of half a fist, shaped like a round ball, and inside the ball, there was a vertical pupil.

Although this eye had now become a spiritual material, when looking at it, there was still a very sharp feeling, as if being seen through by it.

Seeing this situation, Lin Zhangqing was overjoyed. He hadn't guessed wrong. It was just that he didn't know its specific function yet.

But it didn't matter; there would always be a chance to know. If it really didn't work, after entering the Heavenly Water Sect in the future,

he could also find a chance to ask a high-level artifact refiner; surely someone would know the function of this thing.

After playing with it for a while, he similarly found a jade box and packed it up.

Now Lin Zhangqing already had three Third-Stage demon cores in his hands, as well as several kinds of Third-Stage artifact refining materials.

He had already placed these things in the spirit beast bracelet and packed them properly.

Next, Lin Zhangqing took out a jade box. Upon opening it, inside were nine black-purple Thunder Extreme Fruits with their own thunder runes!

These were things Lin Zhangqing had obtained at the risk of his life. He picked up each one and sensed it carefully.

He discovered that he actually had no way to sense if there were fruit pits inside. If he hadn't guessed wrong, they should have been blocked by the layer of thunder runes on the outside.

As a Second-Stage Spirit Plant Master, he had originally thought about sensing it. If he could sense the fruit pits inside,

he would keep the Thunder Extreme Fruits that were well-developed and likely to sprout and survive for his own use. There was no other way, so he could only try his best to pick the large ones to keep.

He picked out three of the smallest Thunder Extreme Fruits and packed them in a suitable jade box.

These three were to be taken out and handed over to the Myriad Sect Island. Only with them could he obtain the quota to enter the Heavenly Water Sect.

As for the remaining six, he casually kept one, and packed the other five in a jade box and put them away! In fact, it was mainly because Lin Zhangqing was very curious about the efficacy of the Thunder Extreme Fruit. Anyway, he still had several on hand, so he wanted to try it himself.

After all, he was also a body cultivator, and he also wanted to experience the feeling of strength growing rapidly.

And this thing was also a thunder-attribute spirit fruit, so Lin Zhangqing always felt that this thing was very suitable for himself.
