Chapter 663: Inventorying the Spoils! Divine Blood Indicator!

"Thank you, without you, I would have been dead just now."

"Thank you so much! My life was saved by you, Lord Lei!"

"Here's my business card—I'm a minor manager at the Flame Corporation."

"If you need anything purchased, just contact me—I'll give you a 30% discount!"

"......"

With the arrival of the city government's strong ones, the situation on site was brought under control.

The few Tianming Sect members who hadn't escaped were all captured.

The civilians whose lives Xu Jingming had saved came forward one by one to express their gratitude.

In contrast, the Holy Cathedral side also had some who expressed thanks.

But more were asking questions.

The crowd present were no fools—they naturally saw that the Grand Hierarch had no intention of lifting a finger.

After all, these believers paid the Holy Cathedral enormous sums every day.

Yet when disaster struck, their strongest member merely stood by, showing not the slightest intention to act—this was going too far.

More importantly, this celebration was originally organized by the Holy Cathedral.

They were the ones who suffered innocent harm.

"Dear faithful believers, please listen to me—the Grand Hierarch is injured."

"That's why he couldn't act. Please, all believers, understand."

"Also, the Divine Maiden..."

The Holy Cathedral had designated personnel to explain.

Catherine on the stage looked at her own side, then at Xu Jingming's side.

A complex expression surfaced on her lovely face.

These were all Holy Cathedral believers, yet in the end, the one they thanked most was an outsider.

"I'm sorry—I originally invited you to watch our Cathedral's celebration."

"But we ended up letting you witness the Holy Cathedral's disgrace."

After the crowd around Xu Jingming dispersed, Catherine walked over, her long legs moving gracefully.

Her fair, delicate face bore sincere regret.

She sighed inwardly—Xu Jingming had always been resistant to the Holy Cathedral.

After this incident, he'd likely be even less willing to join.

"It's fine. Your divine miracle truly opened my eyes," Xu Jingming smiled.

140,000 ability points were already a pleasant surprise.

Besides, he'd gained over thirty space rings—no matter how you counted, he came out ahead.

"That's good."

Catherine exhaled slightly in relief.

With the celebration ruined by the Tianming Sect, Catherine had no face left to promote the Holy Cathedral's strength.

Besides, many follow-up matters needed handling.

Xu Jingming saw this and didn't linger—he took his leave.

Xia Lan's flight was at 1 p. m.; she went directly from Peter Square to the airport.

Xu Jingming returned to his villa to inventory his spoils.

"S-class! Quick, see what good stuff's in their space rings!"

Eva, the twin-tailed little girl, popped out of her smart bracer, eyes gleaming.

Even the thorn-sword grass coiled in the living room stretched out a tendril, clearly equally curious.

"Don't rush—I'll pull them out right away."

Xu Jingming rubbed his hands eagerly, first pulling out the space ring of the seventh-stage peak master.

Shhh—

His powerful spiritual force swept over it; the original spiritual imprint vanished.

A space of 500 cubic meters appeared in his perception.

"500 cubic meters capacity? There must be plenty of good stuff inside."

Eyes brightening, Xu Jingming quickly searched thoroughly.

But to his disappointment, over half of the 500 cubic meters was filled with blood.

The other half contained only one A-class rare herb, some pills, and similar items.

Also, three unnamed bank cards, each with a 10-billion Star Blue credit limit.

"He's a seventh-stage peak master—just this much? He's broke!"

Xu Jingming was speechless.

The most valuable items here were the three bank cards; the most useless were the bloods occupying half the space.

Yet what he didn't know was that the vast majority of Tianming Sect members.

To boost their strength, had spent all their resources on baptism rituals.

Having 3 billion Star Blue credits made one wealthy among seventh-stage masters of the Tianming Sect.

"The blood of ability users is useless to me."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming suddenly sensed a peculiar object within the space ring.

He pulled it out—it was a black device, shaped like a car steering wheel but slightly smaller.

"Oh, could this be... a Divine Blood Indicator?"

Back during the research trip at the Demon Academy, he had, by a stroke of luck, absorbed the Divine Blood that the Tianming Sect had been searching for.

And he had killed every single member of the search party; the only pity was that the Divine Blood Indicator had likewise been damaged by the other side.

In the subsequent process of carrying out the Demon Academy's Tianming Sect mission, he had gained no further harvest.

But he hadn't expected that, right now, he had actually gotten hold of one.

"Dragon-type Divine Blood is of tremendous benefit to my Doushen Shenlei Indestructible Body.

With this Divine Blood Indicator, I'll be able to search for Divine Blood on my own later in the wilderness zones."

Xu Jingming hurriedly stored the Divine Blood Indicator into his spatial ring.

Even if the Divine Blood found in the future doesn't come from dragon-type fierce beasts, it would at least still be an S-rank cultivation resource.

And if the Divine Blood concentration is high, it wouldn't be unacceptable to count it as an SSS-rank cultivation resource.

As for not being able to find Divine Blood in the wilderness zones, he actually wasn't worried about that.

The wilderness zones of Dayangzhou cover an area of over seven million square kilometers, so finding some Divine Blood is still very easy.

After all, just like humans, fierce beasts also fight and kill each other.

Even ninth-tier Beast Sovereigns are no exception; as long as there's fighting, blood will be left behind.

"That's the first good thing; let's see if there are any other things."

After a search, Xu Jingming really did find another good thing.

It was a secret manual; the cover of the manual bore four large characters: 'Divine Blood Secret Art'.

These four characters were written in some unknown pigment, a scarlet red as if made of blood.

Just looking at them, one could feel a wave of bloodiness rushing toward one's face.

"Divine Blood Secret Art?" Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised.

Back at the Demon Academy, he had more than once obtained spoils of the Divine Blood Secret Art.

But the most crucial cultivation sections inside had all been torn out, making it completely unusable.

"I wonder whether this copy of the Divine Blood Secret Art is a complete manual."

Xu Jingming flipped open the manual and quickly found the most crucial cultivation sections.

He then immediately discovered that the contents above had no omissions whatsoever!

"It's actually a complete manual?"

His eyes lit up, and Xu Jingming immediately began studying it carefully.

He still remembered, back during the research trip.

The Holy Son of the Tianming Sect had, with the aid of this Divine Blood Secret Art, had his aura skyrocket straight from the mid second-tier to the peak of the fourth-tier!

He wanted to see exactly what was so miraculous about this secret art that it could achieve such a terrifying amplification.
