Chapter 1012: Flame Origin, Emerald Staff (Second update, requesting all)

The space within this ring is over ten thousand cubic meters. Logically, it should have been in a sealed state. As for why this situation occurred, I suspect that after the Assassin Demon cleared the Soul Imprint from the ring, it did not leave its own imprint behind.

Judging solely by the size of the ring, its owner most likely belonged to the rank of Pseudo-King or even King, and was very likely one of the Stronger who fell four or five years ago.

At that time, a total of one King and four Pseudo-Kings fell, and the number of Monster Tamer of the Sixth Rank and below was countless, which left Yuan Province severely wounded, and it has yet to recover to this day.

Li Zhangsheng immediately took out several tokens; if his expectations were correct, he should be able to identify the owner of the ring from them.

On the front of the first token, the image of a cute, petite cat was engraved, looking somewhat like a Cang Cat.

Li Zhangsheng could be said to be very knowledgeable about Spirit Beast with the Cang Cat Bloodline, and at a single glance, he confirmed that this was a Green Wood Longevity Cat with a Vigorous Grade Cang Cat Bloodline.

On the back of the token, a large character "Yuan" was also engraved.

"This is the Identity Token of the Gai King, Yuan Yongfu!"

After examining this token, Li Zhangsheng immediately confirmed that the King who fell here four or five years ago was indeed the Gai King, Yuan Yongfu.

However, besides this Identity Token, there was another one, and Li Zhangsheng was actually quite familiar with this one.

"The Identity Token of the previous Principal!"

After some observation, Li Zhangsheng could not help but feel a bit stirred. Like the Gai King, the previous Principal of Yuanling Academy also fell in this battle.

In addition to this, there were several high-level officials and a large number of elites from Yuanling Academy.

From the current situation, it is highly likely that both the Gai King and the previous Principal were killed by the Assassin Demon, and after the Assassin Demon broke the Mental Power imprint on this Space Ring, it likely gathered the spoils of both individuals together; it is no wonder there are several treasures in the ring.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng took out all these fine items.

The first item was a Top-Grade Soul Crystal, and after Li Zhangsheng's observation, it was a complete Top-Grade Soul Crystal, unlike the one he had obtained before which had been mostly absorbed.

The value of a Top-Grade Soul Crystal goes without saying; it can effectively increase the cultivation speed and recovery speed of his Mental Power, and also has certain effects on Restrictions, artifact refining, and alchemy.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, if this Top-Grade Soul Crystal were used to assist in cultivation, it could basically last for three months. During this period, it could increase his cultivation speed by about thirty to forty percent, equivalent to saving a month of effort.

The second treasure was also quite familiar; it was a fire-red crystal, but it was not a Fire Element Crystal or a Fire Profound Meaning Crystal, but a rather precious Flame Origin.

Flame Origin can improve the quality of Fire Element Demon Pet, and its effect far exceeds that of Fire Spirit Grass or Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill, so its value is self-evident.

Li Zhangsheng did not expect that there would be a treasure like Flame Origin here, and he did not know if it was a treasure left behind by the Gai King or the previous Principal.

It is not surprising that the owner of the Flame Origin did not have a Fire Element Demon Pet that met the requirements, or perhaps they intended to keep the Flame Origin for the time being, planning to use it at a critical moment.

Unfortunately, they were ultimately killed by the Assassin Demon, and in the end, it benefited Li Zhangsheng instead.

The third item was an Inheritance Jade Slip made of Psychic Jade. Li Zhangsheng read through it once and discovered it was a Top-tier Secret Technique called "Moving Mountains and Draining Seas".

From the name of the Secret Technique, one could see that this was a Secret Technique for forcibly changing the terrain, which was also of some benefit to Li Zhangsheng.

There were two Inheritance Jade Slips made of Psychic Jade, but Li Zhangsheng already possessed the content of the other one, because it was the incomplete version of the Top-tier Demon Taming Art—"Two Instruments Dust Demon Taming Art".

"Two Instruments Dust Demon Taming Art" is the trump card Top-tier Demon Taming Art of Yuanling Academy. Xu Wenhua practices this Top-tier Demon Taming Art, which possesses mysterious and unpredictable power.

Due to it being incomplete, the "Two Instruments Dust Demon Taming Art" can only be cultivated to the King stage.

Li Zhangsheng could be certain that this was a relic of the previous Principal, and he could not help but feel a bit emotional.

It was just a sigh, after all, he had never met the previous Principal, and at most had only heard some of his deeds.

The last item was an Emerald Staff broken into two pieces. Even broken into two, it still emitted the energy fluctuations of a Lower-Grade World Wonder.

Judging from the material, color, and size, this was the Dao-Achieving Item of the Gai King, Yuan Yongfu—the Emerald Staff.

The Emerald Staff belongs to the attack-type Strange Treasure. Judging from its fracture and numerous scars, it should have been forcibly broken by the Killing Storm unleashed by a Demon Commander-level Six-Armed Snake Demon.

A complete Emerald Staff belongs to a Mid-grade World Wonder. Li Zhangsheng did not have the intention to repair it; he prepared to use the Emerald Staff as material to re-refine a scepter to give to Ning Bizhen.

In the fierce battle with Dou Cangqiong, Ning Bizhen consumed the Taihua Purple Qi Waist Pendant using the Exotic Treasure Burial Technique, so he had to give some compensation no matter what.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng also remembered that Ning Bizhen had a scepter of unknown efficacy in her hand. The gemstone embedded at the top of this scepter had already vanished, yet it still emitted energy fluctuations of a Top-tier Heaven and Earth Treasure grade; the complete version must have reached the World Wonder grade.

Li Zhangsheng prepared to combine the broken Emerald Staff and the unknown scepter, and with other precious materials, given his current level of artifact refining, there was a significant possibility of refining a Mid-grade World Wonder.

Besides these, there were a large number of other resources, but unfortunately, they were of no use to Li Zhangsheng.

This was Li Zhangsheng's harvest this time, which could be called bountiful.

"It's a pity there are no Demon Pet corpses in the ring!"

Li Zhangsheng was still a bit unsatisfied in his heart, but as soon as he thought of the Green Wood Longevity Cat on the Gai King's Identity Token, he could not help but think of the Green Wood Longevity Cat in the Silent Forest.

Given the rarity of the Green Wood Longevity Cat, it is possible that the Green Wood Longevity Cat in the Silent Forest was once the main Demon Pet of the Gai King, Yuan Yongfu. If that were truly the case, he wondered how it managed to escape with its life back then.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng returned to the Yuan Prefecture Fortress.

Ever since the three of them appeared, it caused the demon army to collapse completely, and instead, they were hunted down by the human Stronger whose morale was high; now it had reached its end.

Li Zhangsheng first exchanged words with Qin Mingqing for a while, and the two naturally cleared up their past grievances. Unexpectedly, Qin Mingqing even secretly transmitted his voice to Li Zhangsheng, wanting to pledge allegiance.

The reason was not only that Li Zhangsheng defeated the Dark Night King, but more importantly, Qin Mingqing felt that Li Zhangsheng had a boundless future. Based on the idea that "when one person attains the Dao, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven," following him might lead to further possibilities in the future.

Li Zhangsheng naturally could not refuse, and immediately reached a Heavenly Dao Agreement with Qin Mingqing, letting Qin Mingqing continue to guard the Yuan Prefecture Fortress, while also leaving Zuo Qiulin here.

Even if two more Demon Commanders appeared from the Twin Abyss Gate, the two of them would have the strength to resist.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng left the Yuan Prefecture Fortress and, bringing Ning Bizhen, snuck to Luojing Mountain, where the entrance to the Baisheng King Secret Realm was located.
