Chapter 260

"Elder Alice..."

Vashak looked at Alice with some grief and indignation.

"You didn't say it was so dangerous inside! I almost lost my life when I went in just now."

"It wasn't that exaggerated."

Alice waved her hand with a giggle and added:

"You are, after all, a Demon God equivalent to the mid-stage of Refining Qi into Spirit; you aren't that easy to dissolve."

This thing, when it comes down to it, is only a mid-grade Dharma treasure. If it were a mid-grade Spirit treasure, Vashak would indeed have been in danger.

Vashak looked at the gourd in Ningguang's hand, feeling a lingering fear and wishing he could hide far away.

He even made up his mind that from now on, whenever anyone called his name, he would not answer.

The Dharma treasures of cultivators were truly too bizarre.

As he thought this, a trace of envy couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

Even after he started cultivating, he probably wouldn't be able to afford such a thing for a long time.

The reason Ningguang and the others were so wealthy was because they had gambled with their lives in the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

And now, the Nine Nether was in turmoil, and Jiang Yan had strictly forbidden anyone from venturing deep into it.

It could be said that in the short term, they probably wouldn't be able to earn any contribution points.

"Alright, alright, there's nothing left for you here. Go on."

Alice casually tossed Vashak a dozen low-grade spirit stones. The latter was stunned for a moment before hurriedly reminding her:

"Elder Alice, you gave me five too many."

"Consider it compensation for your mental distress."

Alice waved her hand, and Vashak beamed with joy; the gloom of being a test subject vanished without a trace.

If being a test subject could earn spirit stones, then he might as well do it a few more times.

156. Alice's whimsical idea: Making a Golden Cudgel to sell to Xiao.

Vashak left with a beaming smile, and before he left, he happily told Alice that if there were any experimental tasks in the future, she could call him at any time.

Alice pondered that this guy's brain might have been damaged from hitting the Purple Gold Gourd.

Ningguang weighed the Purple Gold Gourd, feeling somewhat satisfied with its effects.

A mid-stage Demon God of Refining Qi into Spirit had been accidentally sucked in and nearly dissolved.

No matter how you looked at it, this thing was a good treasure.

Even if the incantation to use it was a bit embarrassing.

"How about it? Selling it to you for 5,100 points is worth it, right?"

Alice looked at Ningguang with excitement, and the latter nodded.

"It is indeed worth 5,100 points."

"Speaking of which, the treasures of the cultivation world are truly strange. To think there is a Dharma treasure that can capture people just by calling their name?"

Alice waved her hand.

"That's nothing. I haven't even shown you the true causal law incantations yet."

"Legend has it there was a Great God who mastered a top-tier Dharma spell; with a single phrase, 'Fellow Daoist, please stay,' countless Great Gods met their demise."

"That kind of ability is truly strong."

Alice held her head high with pride, and Ningguang offered no comment.

A moment later, seeing that Ningguang didn't respond, Alice lost interest in showing off.

She said softly:

"Although Vashak was nearly dissolved by the Purple Gold Gourd just now, in reality, this isn't a normal situation."

"First, Vashak doesn't cultivate, so he has no resistance to cultivation Dharma treasures."

"Second, Vashak had no psychological preparation just now and no proper defense, so he was caught off guard."

"That's why the effect looked so powerful."

"If used against a cultivator, at most it could probably only capture someone at the mid-stage of Refining Essence into Qi."

"However, for you, it's only 5,100 points anyway, and the effect is sufficient."

"You're a rich lady, Ningguang."

Hearing this, Ningguang felt bitter.

She knew that being this wealthy would definitely make her a target for many.

Now, with the contribution points from building the Merit Hall system and the contribution points from exploring the Nine Nether Secret Realm,

plus the contribution points from the trading market she had recently finished setting up,

she was far ahead in contribution points throughout Shushan, making her the richest person in Shushan.

Currently, she had over 200,000 in total, which was far beyond everyone else.

5,100 points was indeed not an unacceptable price for her.

Moreover, this Purple Gold Gourd was truly interesting and effective.

Used against Demon Gods in Teyvat, it might yield good results.

Most importantly, this thing consumed very little True Essence, and when used in combination with her Heavenly Heart Bell, it might even ambush a mid-stage Refining Essence into Qi expert who was unprepared.

Without further hesitation, Ningguang decisively transferred the contribution points to Cloud Retainer.

While these contribution points weren't a small number for her, they weren't worth thinking about for so long.

Besides, Alice had put in the effort, and it was Cloud Retainer's proud work; 5,100 contribution points were enough to save face.

Ningguang flipped through the Purple Gold Gourd, calculating whether she should take it out to find some fierce beasts.

Ever since the world evolved and Shushan gained seven main spirit veins,

the animals of the entire Shushan world had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Now, in the Shushan world, there were no ordinary animals left.

At the very least, they were fierce beasts equivalent to Foundation Establishment strength.

There were also many spirit beasts, but they were all gathered in the Shushan area, basically that flock of white cranes.

The number of fierce beasts was also not small, and there were even tens of thousands of fierce beasts at the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi that had carved out their own territories.

It was precisely these early-stage Refining Essence into Qi fierce beasts that made the Demon God retainers who stayed in Shushan miserable.

Their strength, when converted, was at least at the mid-to-late stage of Refining Essence into Qi.

But...

They really couldn't beat the fierce beasts that cultivated.

One unit of the fierce beasts' demonic power could withstand hundreds or thousands of units of their elemental power.

Fierce beasts at the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi could beat their high-level Demon God retainers even without innate divine abilities.

If they had any innate divine abilities, Demon Gods who didn't cultivate would have to dodge.

In terms of realm, they were higher, but the quality of their energy was too low.

Currently, the fierce beasts of the Shushan world were only a threat to Barbara and Paimon for the Shushan disciples.

As for the others...

They still treated these fierce beasts as a source of food.

However, they were still somewhat vigilant in their hearts.

These fierce beasts had progressed so quickly in one world evolution; if it happened a few more times...

Perhaps this was the reason everyone was working so hard to cultivate.

Ningguang was just calculating which early-stage Refining Essence into Qi fierce beast to find to test the Purple Gold Gourd on.

Suddenly, a Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talisman automatically ignited.

Immediately, Baiwen's voice entered Ningguang's ears.

"Lady Ningguang, Yae Miko of Inazuma has been urging us for a long time. She wants to go to Shushan now, saying that Lady Ganyu invited her."

"She has already arrived at the foot of Jueyun Karst."

Ningguang sighed helplessly, picked up a Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talisman, and said:

"Tell her to wait a moment; I'm going to call Ganyu."

Having said that, Ningguang looked at Alice and Cloud Retainer, who were excitedly dividing her contribution points and calculating what pills to buy.

Without further ado, Ningguang greeted them and flew on her sword toward Ganyu's location.
