Chapter 422: Spirit Essence of the World Serpent (Second Update, requesting everything)

Because Cai Yangqian had refined the Prohibition Hub of the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin, Li Changsheng had to first erase Cai Yangqian's Mental Power imprint if he wanted to refine the Prohibition Hub himself.

Li Changsheng took out a bottle and poured the liquid inside onto the Prohibition Hub.

This was a special potion specifically for erasing Mental Power imprints.

Sizzle~

A sound like corrosion rang out, and the Mental Power imprint belonging to Cai Yangqian within the Prohibition Hub slowly dissolved.

It was also at this moment that Cai Yangqian slowly opened his eyes and gradually regained consciousness.

At this time, Cai Yangqian was bound hand and foot and was unable to use his Mental Power; he did not struggle, but instead sat on the ground with a face ashen like death.

"Kailan, Hypnosis Powder!"

To prevent Cai Yangqian from committing suicide, Li Changsheng commanded Kailan to use the Hypnosis Powder.

A white powder appeared, and under Kailan's control, it forcibly surged into Cai Yangqian's mouth and nose.

Cough, cough~

Cai Yangqian coughed hard twice, and immediately after, his consciousness rapidly became blurred, and he fell directly into a deep sleep.

Two or three minutes later, the potion successfully erased the Mental Power imprint belonging to Cai Yangqian from the bead.

Compared to before, the bead had become more transparent.

The next moment, Li Changsheng forced out a ball of blood, completely wrapping the entire bead; under the influence of his Mental Power, the bead floated up and down in the void.

Soon, Li Changsheng established a connection with the bead, though this connection was very weak, giving one the feeling that it could be interrupted at any time.

At this time, Li Changsheng controlled his Mental Power to slowly permeate the bead, beginning to strengthen the connection with the Prohibition Hub.

After a few breaths of time, Li Changsheng stopped his movements; he had initially refined the Prohibition Hub, and in the future, he would only need to spend some more time to fully refine it.

Li Changsheng tried to control the Prohibition Hub; light flowed across the surface of the bead, and the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin flew up, hovering in front of Li Changsheng.

"Move it up!"

Under Li Changsheng's command, several Flying Demon Pets moved the iceberg that was freezing Di Zhuo over.

After being cut, the iceberg could barely fit into the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin.

The Cold Jade Rabbit replenished the freezing air of the iceberg from time to time; Di Zhuo was already at the end of his rope, and being unable to recover within the iceberg, he simply could not break out of it.

Besides Di Zhuo, there was also the sleeping Cai Yangqian; every once in a while, Kailan would infuse him with Hypnosis Powder.

"Let's go!"

After making preparations, Li Changsheng recalled most of his Demon Pets and landed in the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin.

In an instant, the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin flew up at an angle and soon reached high altitude, but Li Changsheng did not return to Luo City; instead, he flew in the direction of the Cai Clan Manor.

If you don't pull up the roots, the spring breeze will make them grow again!

The rest of the Cai Clan members were easy to deal with, but Cai Yangqian's second son had to be eliminated; furthermore, the Cai Clan Manor also held some secrets, and Li Changsheng, possessing the Patriarch Token, naturally could not let this opportunity pass.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later, otherwise, when the Cai Clan discovered it, they would definitely change the Authority of the Patriarch Token immediately.

To avoid being discovered by people coming from Liyang City, Li Changsheng had to control the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin to take a wide detour, taking about half an hour, and when he was nearly ten miles away from the Cai Clan Manor, he landed in a small grove.

The Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin was too conspicuous; after moving Cai Yangqian and the iceberg down, under Li Changsheng's control, the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin suddenly underwent a change, shrinking at an extremely fast speed until it finally turned into a miniature coffin.

Li Changsheng reached out and summoned it, and the miniature coffin landed in his hand.

After putting away the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin, Li Changsheng did not immediately head to the Cai Clan Manor, but instead leaned against a large tree and began to check his harvest this time.

The corpses of several Demon Pets went without saying, the most precious of which was the corpse of the Behemoth, but these would have to wait until Li Changsheng mastered the *Book of Bloodlines Part One* before he would refine them, otherwise it would be too wasteful.

Without hesitation, Li Changsheng impatiently released all the items in his Space Ring.

A large pile of items appeared beside Li Changsheng, looking like a small hill.

With the help of his Mental Power, Li Changsheng quickly finished classifying these items.

First, Li Changsheng began to count the Soul Crystals, which were the most numerous.

After scanning with his Mental Power for a few seconds, Li Changsheng obtained the accurate value.

This pile of Soul Crystals numbered in the hundreds, among which there were over a hundred Medium-grade Soul Crystals, three Superior Quality Soul Crystals, and the rest were all Low Grade Soul Crystals, totaling about 50,000 Soul Crystals.

The second most numerous were the Demon Cores, numbering nearly a hundred; the quantity did not seem large, but their quality was high, with the lowest grade being Upper Rank Demon Cores and the highest being two Lord-level Demon Cores.

The third most numerous were various materials; most of these were precious materials from Spirit Beasts, and there were also some medicinal herbs, ores, soil, and the like.

In addition, there were dozens of bottles and jars of various sizes.

Li Changsheng casually opened a bottle and saw a pile of blood placed inside—no, Spirit Essence!

When the bottle stopper was opened, some blood energy condensed into a miniature turtle image; this turtle had scales and armor, and a snake was coiled around its body.

"Basalt Essence Blood!"

Li Changsheng recognized it at a glance; Basalt is one of the Four Spirits of Heaven, as famous as the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird, also known as the Turtle-Snake, which governs Water Attribute in the Five Elements, symbolizes the Old Yin in the Four Symbols, and winter in the four seasons.

Unfortunately, this was only a small bottle of Basalt Essence Blood, which could at most allow a Water Attribute Spirit Beast without a bloodline to obtain a sparse Xuanwu Bloodline.

Since obtaining the *Book of Bloodlines Part One*, for these three-plus years, most of Cai Yangqian's energy had been focused on hunting wild Spirit Beasts and extracting the Spirit Essence from their bodies.

Among these Spirit Essences, only a small portion was kept for his own use, and the rest were mostly stored by Cai Yangqian in his Space Ring, but in the end, it all benefited Li Changsheng.

"Eh, World Serpent Spirit Essence!"

In the process of checking the Spirit Essence, Li Changsheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise; he did not expect that Cai Yangqian had also collected the Spirit Essence of the World Serpent.

The World Serpent, also known as the World Snake, has its mouth biting its tail, head and tail connected, hermaphroditic, representing the cyclical phenomena of the natural world; it is both the beginning and the end, symbolizing 'everything', 'perfection', 'Reincarnation', and 'yin/yang'.

At the same time, the World Serpent can also be said to be the largest Spirit Beast; this giant snake, with its head and tail connected, could fully encircle a relatively small plane.

The world of Spirit Beasts belongs to the category of Small Thousand World, and in terms of area, it naturally far exceeds ordinary planes; even so, this is enough to prove the hugeness of the World Serpent.

Of course, volume does not represent combat power; the World Serpent is large, but it also has a fatal weakness, which is that it lacks the agility of ordinary snake-type Spirit Beasts, and can even be described as sluggish, which is also a consequence of its excessive size.

Even so, even if only relying on its size, the World Serpent's frontal assault capability is extremely strong, and it is also the best meat shield, ranking among the Top-tier Divine Beasts.

Unfortunately, this is only a small bottle of World Serpent Spirit Essence, which is of no great use.

Soon, Li Changsheng finished his inspection.

The most numerous were the Spirit Essence of various Quasi-Gods; the difficulty of collecting them was far less than that of Divine Beasts, with the Spirit Essence of Red Dragons and Wind Civets being the most abundant, each having two large jars.

"Yuangungun can finally evolve!"

Li Zhangsheng revealed a smile; he already had enough Fei Spirit Essence, and combined with this Wind Civet Spirit Essence, it was enough for Yuangungun to evolve once again.

Among the Divine Beast Spirit Essence, the Spirit Essence of the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast was the most abundant, totaling a full jar; one could only wonder how many Spirit Beasts containing the bloodline of the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast Cai Yangqian had killed.

"I will give this jar to Bizhen; this time, being able to defeat Cai Yangqian, the Three-Legged Fire Crow and the Cold Jade Rabbit deserve the greatest credit!"

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng decided the fate of this jar of Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast Spirit Essence.

Among these Spirit Essences, there were also several types that Li Zhangsheng needed, such as White Tiger Essence Blood, Phoenix Essence Blood, Azure Cat Spirit Essence, and so on, though the quantities were relatively small.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng took out many bottles and jars from his own Space Ring.

Just like Cai Yangqian, he was also consciously collecting and purifying various types of Spirit Essence.

Spending some time, Li Zhangsheng placed identical Spirit Essences into the same containers and attached labels to them, finally bringing this to a close.

Li Zhangsheng began to inspect the remaining items; after discarding the personal effects belonging to Cai Yangqian, six items remained before him: a bottle of Alchemical Pill, a piece of Rainbow Garment Treasure Armor, a Top-Grade Treasure, two Jade Slips, and a square Jade Box.

Inside this bottle of Alchemical Pill were two glowing green pills, faintly emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance; these were Snow Soul Life-Saving Pills, which belonged to the ranks of top-tier Alchemical Pill and could save one's life at a critical moment.

The example was Cai Yangqian; even though his Life-Bound Demon Pet and five blood-bound Spirit Beasts died, he still withstood the backlash, though the price was a bit high.

But compared to one's life, the side effects of the Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill could be ignored.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng picked up the brightly colored Nishang Inner Armor; this was an inner armor that was soft in texture but actually exceptionally tough, and it could change size, could negate a certain degree of attacks, especially piercing attacks, and could effectively improve the survival ability of a Monster Tamer.

Of course, the premise was that Li Zhangsheng was willing to cross-dress.

Li Zhangsheng naturally had no desire to cross-dress, not to mention he himself already had a Gold Silk Inner Armor, and he had also recently been attempting to craft a Dragon Scale Treasure Armor sewn from the dragon scales, dragon skin, and dragon tendon of an ancestral black dragon.

"Better give it to Bizhen!"

Li Zhangsheng was unwilling to cross-dress, so Ning Bizhen naturally became the best candidate.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng picked up that Top-Grade Treasure.

This was a green crown, which seemed to be carved from a single piece of jasper as a whole, with a large number of pearls, jades, and gemstones inlaid upon it, and they were connected by Secret Silver.

What attracted the most attention was a dark green gemstone; it was not the most vibrant or dazzling gemstone, nor was it the largest in volume, but Li Zhangsheng was still involuntarily attracted by this gemstone.

Gulp~

Li Zhangsheng recognized this dark green gemstone, and his heart could not help but beat violently, because this gemstone itself was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of the Heavenly Essence Grade.
