Chapter 554

~12 min read 2,293 words

In an uninhabited mountain cave, the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon lay silently on the mountain rocks.

Inside the mechanical cabin, Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes.

He exhaled a long breath of turbid air, feeling refreshed, and all the injuries on his body had healed.

For one thing, Ning Zhuo's own injuries were not severe. The Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts, after all, wanted to capture him alive, so they held back in many places.

For another, he also had to thank Lin Bufan. The Ten Thousand Medicine Sect was itself a sect of physicians, and Lin Bufan, as the leader, was the most excellent physician. Having him personally treat Ning Zhuo's injuries naturally had better results than Ning Zhuo just taking elixirs.

After scanning his whole body with his spiritual sense and confirming there were no errors, Ning Zhuo stood up and opened the cabin door.

He came to the dragon head cabin and met up with Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong was boredly manipulating the mechanisms inside the dragon head cabin, looking from time to time at the storage bag placed on the table.

Seeing Ning Zhuo arrive, Sun Lingtong jumped up happily: "Hahaha, Little Zhuo, you're here, that's great. Let's open the storage bag and take a look."

A sense of warmth couldn't help but arise in Ning Zhuo's heart.

Over the dozen years in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, similar situations had happened many times.

Sun Lingtong would never check the things he stole alone, but would share the spoils with Ning Zhuo and enjoy the fun of the unknown.

The two sat cross-legged together and placed the storage bag in front of them.

Sun Lingtong began to rub his hands.

Ning Zhuo also responded with expectation. There was no help for it; this was the lifelong accumulation of the Heaven Ghost, a dignified Nascent Soul-level powerhouse—what exactly was his wealth?

Of course, before Tian Shuang left, he had taken the magic treasures and such that could be used for combat with him.

Even so, this was enough to be worth looking forward to.

The storage bag itself was enough for Sun and Ning to study for a little while.

This was a Nascent Soul-level storage bag; the surface was snow-white, silk-textured, glowing with a cold light, and the quality looked very good at first glance.

Speaking of which, Sun and Ning had also captured a Nascent Soul-level storage bag before.

But it was locked, coming from a transport team of the two kingdoms, and Sun Lingtong had tried many times but failed in the end.

Tian Shuang's storage bag, because it was voluntarily gifted by the original owner, was naturally in an open state.

The two opened the bag's mouth and channeled their spiritual sense together, seeing that the bag was full, filled with all kinds of treasures.

The largest portion was spirit stones.

Spirit stones!

So many spirit stones, so many that when Sun and Ning used their spiritual sense to check, they couldn't count them for a while.

Then there were various precious materials.

For example, Mysterious Yin Cold Jade, Ice Silk Mushroom, Frost Spirit Vine, Extreme Cold Point Snow, Yin Soul Flower, Ghost Soul Grass, Resentment Stone, and so on.

There were also Snow Ghouls, Ice Wolves, and Cold Prison Crying Souls, Snow Bone Rakshasas, Ice Crystal Ghost Souls, etc., captured and sealed in tokens.

Sun and Ning widened their eyes and then checked carefully.

The underworld's fine wine Yellow Spring Nectar, the Ghost Path Guide Pill used to guide the way, the Yin Silkworm Soul-Shedding Pill used for Ghost Path cultivation, the Underworld Spirit Soul-Restoring Pill to repair the soul body and increase spirituality...

There were also talismans that could teleport to stations within a certain range—Yin Station Road Guides, Crying Wall Talismans used to trap people, Death Absorption Talismans to increase the absorption of underworld energy...

A Yin Pulse Comb made of white bone, specifically used to comb the stagnant and disordered Yin energy in the soul body.

The Forgetful River Boat that could cross the underworld Yellow Spring.

A Soul-Nurturing Box used for soul body cultivation that could increase the foundation of the soul.

A Yin Chessboard where the chess pieces were condensed skulls.

A large amount of paper money—Underworld Crossing Money, used to travel to and from the ghost market.

A Soul-Shaking Bell to control a large number of ghosts.

A Rebirth Sedan, specifically for ghost cultivators to possess bodies, with the possibility of a new life...

Although Tian Shuang had taken away the treasures used for combat, he still left behind a large number of treasures. These treasures were all for daily cultivation or daily life needs.

"Tian Shuang is really not bad; to prevent us from not understanding the functions of these things, he even thoughtfully provided brief introductions in the jade slip," Sun Lingtong sighed.

Ning Zhuo: "Let's count the spirit stones first."

Regarding this point, Tian Shuang had not made it clear in the jade slip.

Tian Shuang was an expert among Nascent Soul cultivators and had many spirit stone reserves. They were basically mid-grade spirit stones, with a minority of high-grade and low-grade spirit stones.

Generally speaking, Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment level cultivators mainly use low-grade spirit stones. Jin Dan and Nascent Soul levels use mid-grade spirit stones.

By the Soul Transformation and Void Refinement levels, the spirit stones reach high-grade, which is the most efficient to use.

Sun and Ning made a rough estimate and found that the spirit stones in Tian Shuang's storage bag, converted to mid-grade, had already exceeded one hundred million.

Over one hundred million mid-grade spirit stones!

"This is the first time I've seen so many spirit stones."

"Truly worthy of being the assets of the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts."

Sun and Ning were amazed.

The two looked at each other and discovered the surprise in each other's eyes.

Originally, Ning Zhuo wanted to find an opportunity to retrieve his mother's relics by participating in this battle to pacify the two kingdoms; he didn't expect to gain so much in the process, far exceeding his expectations!

"Before, we raided the battlefield and obtained spoils worth over ten million mid-grade spirit stones. I didn't expect this time to be even more!"

"But thinking about it this way, one hundred million isn't that much. At most, it's just nine more times of us playing the Shi Zhong Old Monster and raiding spoils,"

Sun Lingtong didn't care on the surface, but his hands were already on his hips, revealing his smug little mood.

Ning Zhuo was calmer: "Actually, the opportunities for us to play the Shi Zhong Old Monster and raid spoils are not many."

"We haven't encountered any since then. It can even be said that playing the Shi Zhong Old Monster has become a very dangerous thing that will attract suppression from two Soul Transformation-level powerhouses."

"Tian Shuang's active gift is absolutely a rare opportunity."

"Because even if I fill others' divine seas with Buddhist thoughts in the future, others may not necessarily be like Tian Shuang, who was determined to fight to the death and gifted his family assets before the battle."

"And this time, I also took advantage of the situation. I first used the divine ability Human Life Hanging by a Thread to connect with the Tian Shuang ghost mask, and then indirectly influenced Tian Shuang through the connection between the ghost mask and the true body."

Sun Lingtong nodded, acknowledging Ning Zhuo's analysis, and the joy on his face decreased a lot.

The two continued to check.

The rest were jade slips, jade discs, and other items.

These items recorded a large amount of intelligence, cultivation methods, spells, and even divine abilities, etc.

For example, a lot of internal information about the Soul-Devouring Sect, records of the improvement of the Soul-Devouring Technique, the refining method of the treasure Ghost Gate Pass, the raising of Snow Bone Rakshasas, Earth Melting Ghosts, Ice Corpses, etc.

Also, for example, the cultivation method Tian Shuang mainly practiced was "Nine Prisons Cold Soul Record," the cultivation method Earth Ghost mainly practiced was "Burning Evil Melting Soul Sutra," and their Heaven and Earth combined attack technique.

"What a pity, they are all mainly for Ghost Path cultivation. They don't have much relevance to us; at most, they increase our understanding of the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts, etc., and broaden our horizons," Sun Lingtong said with a regretful expression.

Ning Zhuo reminded him: "Boss, don't forget, there are other people's spoils of war."

The Heaven and Earth combined attack performed by Tian Shuang and Earth Gray was absolutely powerful, causing space to shake and become chaotic, killing nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators on the spot.

Only three escaped, and the rest lost their lives.

And the treasures left behind by these people on the battlefield were not picked up by the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts and eventually fell into the hands of the Three Generals Camp.

The Three Generals Camp took some away when they returned to report their mission this time, and the rest were handed over to Ning Zhuo.

On one hand, the Three Generals Camp and Ning Zhuo had an agreement, and Ning Zhuo himself owned 30% of the spoils. On the other hand, in this battle with the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts, Ning Zhuo held the main credit, so the vast majority of the spoils belonged to Ning Zhuo.

True Person Lieyang's Great Sun Patrol Sky Banner.

This treasure banner only had half left; the banner surface depicted a yellow sun in the sky, and shaking the long banner could trigger sunlight and flames.

Yin Yang Scholar's Taiji Yin Yang Cloak.

The black and white cloak hid mysteries; the white side depicted the stars of the universe, and the black side embroidered the nine springs of the Yellow Spring. Unfortunately, only 30% remained.

Empty Valley Zither Immortal's Cloud Light Heart-Protecting Mirror.

It was a magic treasure-level mechanism, with twelve pitch reeds built inside; once it suffered an attack, it could burst out sound waves to offset the damage.

But it was also broken beyond repair.

These spoils picked up on the battlefield all had one thing in common, and that was damage.

After all, if they were intact, their owners would have been the victors long ago, instead of being dead or injured.

Even so, these broken magic treasures were quite valuable.

For one, the magic treasures that could remain in the Heaven and Earth combined attack were all extraordinary. For another, they are broken now, which doesn't mean they will remain broken in the future. Finding a suitable refiner and a suitable refining method can make them shine with new life.

Third, even if they are not repaired, they can be sold. Broken and damaged magic treasures also have a stable market.

Sun and Ning checked these spoils one by one but did not delve into them deeply.

"If their storage bags, storage belts, etc., could all be left behind, how good would that be!" Ning Zhuo sighed.

"Hehe, keep dreaming. Under the Heaven and Earth combined attack, most cultivators don't even have bone dregs left, let alone these things," Sun Lingtong rolled his eyes.

Then, he continued: "However, this time, the Three Generals Camp returned to the main camp, they brought some spoils, and this time we defeated the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts. The battle achievements this time are worth looking forward to."

The second to last harvest was the Tian Shuang ghost mask.

This ghost mask was specially left by Tian Shuang as a gift to Ning Zhuo.

Finally, there was the Fire in Wood.

After Lin Bufan met up with Ning Zhuo, he briefly explained his own encounter to him. Finally, he handed the Fire in Wood to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo checked the Fire in Wood initially and then put it away.

This was the first time in his life he had harvested such a precious fire seed.

In the past, he would definitely have studied it carefully.

But now, it was not a good time to study it. He had to replenish his mechanical puppets as soon as possible and restore his own combat power!

"The battle with the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts is very likely to be the Heaven Ghost recovering, the two reuniting, and coming to find trouble with me again."

"After all, although there are many Buddhist thoughts, they have become a source without water. Without me replenishing them at any time, once the normal thoughts in Tian Shuang's divine sea reach a certain scale, he will be able to think normally."

"Earth Gray knows his situation very well, so he only needs to contain, consume, and conduct a long-term battle to drag it out until Tian Shuang recovers his original state."

Ning Zhuo had never been optimistic about Tian Shuang chasing after Earth Gray.

But he couldn't persuade him.

Tian Shuang's divine sea was full of Buddhist thoughts, and he was determined to redeem himself; Ning Zhuo couldn't stop him at all. Once Tian Shuang had some normal thoughts, the risk to Ning Zhuo would be too great.

Tian Shuang was determined to chase after Earth Gray to redeem himself; Ning Zhuo couldn't persuade him and could only let nature take its course.

In this way, Ning Zhuo had to take advantage of the time before the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts killed their way back to improve himself with all his might.

"I cannot estimate the time for the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts to kill their way back."

"Therefore, staying in this battlefield for a longer time is more dangerous."

"Sigh, when will the opportunity to attack the Six Caves Sect finally appear?"
