Chapter 1373

Golden-winged Great Peng brought Xiao Feng to the treasure vault of Jinpeng Dao.

This vault is the most important place on all of Jinpeng Dao, storing many good things, protected by a magic formation; only those who pass the Golden-winged Great Peng's bloodline verification can enter, otherwise even a Golden Immortal coming could only sigh.

Although the Golden-winged Great Peng never mentioned it, Xiao Feng could vaguely guess that his mother must be extremely powerful, possibly a peak Golden Immortal existence; otherwise it would be impossible to create such a mighty Jinpeng Dao that even cultivators of the Nine Provinces Immortal Realm dare not covet.

The vault was built underground in the castle; Xiao Feng did not go in, merely waiting at the entrance.

After a while, the Golden-winged Great Peng walked out holding a huge treasure chest.

"The immortal crystals accumulated over tens of thousands of years are all inside."

He set the chest down, making a bang.

Upon opening the chest, inside was filled to the brim with crystal-clear, gorgeous gem-like immortal crystals.

There were low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade ones!

There were even supreme-grade ones!

Xiao Feng stored and sorted them in his backpack, then checked the quantity.

Supreme immortal crystals: 2

High-grade immortal crystals: 32

Medium-grade immortal crystals: 429

Low-grade immortal crystals: 7629

Xiao Feng had never seen supreme immortal crystals before; he couldn't help but take an extra look.

【Supreme Immortal Crystal】: ultra-rare energy crystal, containing 100,000 points of immortal essence, usable for crafting equipment of rank 7 or higher or a Supreme Treasure.

High-grade immortal crystals are merely "rare" quality and are pure energy crystals with no other use.

Whereas the supreme-grade ones advance to "ultra-rare" quality and have a broader range of uses!

These two supreme immortal crystals, he couldn't bear to feed them to the Chaos Tree; they must be stored for later use together with the Void Realm Stone to craft supreme gear.

The total energy value of this chest of immortal crystals equals 17,119 low-grade immortal crystals.

The Chaos Tree consumes 100 low-grade immortal crystals per day; excluding the two supreme ones (which aren't counted), it could last 151 days, and adding the ones he previously purchased and those given by Yu Cixue, it could last at least half a year!

"Thank you, Island Master!"

Xiao Feng's face beamed with joy as he clasped his hands and spoke.

"No need for thanks; it was simply a condition of the exchange," the Golden-winged Great Peng said, waving his hand.

This deal was profitable for both sides; the Golden-winged Great Peng had little use for immortal crystals, Xiao Feng incurred no cost in killing people, and he also gained a hoard of treasures from the loot bag.

In this matter, the only one who lost out was the Purple Fire True Person.

But he's already dead, so he won't care!

"Come on, let's go celebrate the joy of slaying the Purple Fire True Person and summon all the brothers on the island!" the Golden-winged Great Peng called out, bringing Xiao Feng, Da Bai, the Purple Astra Spirit Crane, and others back to the main hall.

Afterwards came a lively celebration.

Xiao Feng, being human, blended in with the crowd of monsters transformed into humanoid form without feeling too out of place; on the contrary, Da Bai the bird looked rather strange.

The monsters knew his prowess; even the Island Master praised him incessantly, each wanting to cultivate a good relationship with him, to network so that when they later went to the human world to roam freely, they'd have someone to back them up.

Unfortunately, Xiao Feng had no connections and couldn't protect anyone; he was merely a passing traveler who might leave at any moment.

After over a month in the Nine Provinces Immortal Realm, he had basically accomplished everything he set out to do, and his gains exceeded expectations: not only did he obtain immortal crystals, but he also crafted several powerful pieces of equipment and acquired formidable skills.

... although he hasn't mastered them all yet.

Next, he only had one thing left to do: fulfill the woodcutter's commission.

The woodcutter's task might also bring him a lot of immortal crystals as reward, so he should take it seriously.

Once that matter is also settled, he can basically leave the Nine Provinces and go play in other worlds.

Each world's production of immortal crystals is limited; one cannot hope to gather enough by staying in a single place.

A total of ten million might require running through a dozen or even more immortal cultivation worlds!

Anyway, Blue Star is now gradually rising, it doesn't need his supervision, the myriad races' hegemony isn't coming soon, and he has plenty of time to wander about.

If the opportunity arises, visiting the worlds of Shen Chuo, Han Zichen, and others would also be nice—pick up a few skills or equipment in each world to enrich his abilities, while also making contact with alien civilizations, killing several birds with one stone.

The number of major regions of human civilization is not small; besides cultivation and magic, there are also some technological worlds whose gameplay is similar to that of the Machine Race.

Earlier in the Tower of Myriad Heavens he had encountered a player called the Earth War Zone, which is exactly this type.

Currently Xiao Feng's backpack still contains a miniature nuclear reactor that he has never used.

If he goes to such a world to look around, he might pick up some high-tech knowledge to bring back for reference for his own planet; if by accident technology leaps forward, he would be a great hero!

Xiao Feng is already somewhat impatient to go play elsewhere, but for now his swordsmanship insight is still lacking a bit, and the heavenly fire seed also needs his contemplation, so he can only be patient and stay a while longer.

He stayed on Jinpeng Dao for another two days, waiting for Da Bai to vent enough of his homesickness before returning to the Nine Provinces mainland.

This time out was not long, but the gains were not much inferior to clearing the Sword Tomb.

Xiao Feng returned to the Xiantian Imperial City, consigning to the auction house the nine supreme-grade spirit artifacts harvested this time, along with some materials and consumables he himself had no use for.

Then he ran to the third floor to retrieve the immortal crystals he had recently purchased.

The nine supreme-grade spirit artifacts were posted in advance on the notice board of the auction exhibition hall; they were quickly spread by some players, and soon many people rushed to the auction area intending to bid.

Yu Cixue also received the news, immediately contacted him remotely, and asked: "Brother Xiao Feng, you're back?"

"Mm, I was just about to look for you; where are you now?" Xiao Feng replied.

"I'm in the midst of contemplating the laws; nothing major, I'll head back right away!"

Yu Cixue immediately used a town return talisman from the market to appear at the door, then hurried upstairs to find him.

"Brother!"

As soon as they met on the third floor, she let out a joyful cry and trotted over.

Seeing her happy demeanor, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a bit dazed, as if he were reuniting with a long-lost sister.

"What are you happy about?" he asked.

Yu Cixue said: "Today I had a small breakthrough in comprehending the law, already over 400 points, so I'm happy."

"That's amazing!" Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise.

His comprehension value is only 522 points, and moreover, 500 of those points came from consuming spiritual essence...

This girl actually also has over 400, she's almost condensing a phantom of the law; it seems her talent is also not bad.

"Compared to you, you're far behind. Come on, let's go to your auction to have a look; if there's something good, I also want to compete a bit!" Yu Cixue pulled him straight up to the fourth floor.

Xiao Feng smiled and said: "No need to compete, I've already saved what you can use for you. Here, this is for you, consider it as thanks for you giving me the translocation talisman that day."

He took out the reserved unranked supreme-grade spiritual artifact 【Thundercloud Crane Cloak】 and handed it to Yu Cixue.

Upon seeing the equipment info, she first felt joy. Then she showed an expression of laughing and crying: "I only just bought your 【Azure Frost Immortal Robe】 last month, and now you're giving me clothes again... Senior Brother Dao, are you wanting to see me change outfits?"
