Chapter 427: The Second Wood Element Crystal (First Update, seeking all)

When Aixi appeared, a violent storm swept through the surroundings, whipping up dust and fallen leaves from the ground into a sky-filling dance, significantly reducing visibility in the area.

At the same time, light cyan Wind Element energy emerged on the surface of Aixi's body, draping it in a beautiful Wind Cloak.

Roar—

At this moment, Aixi let out an angry roar, and a concentrated, invisible Pressure spread out, enveloping the Thunder Cloud Tiger.

As both were of Leader level, the Thunder Cloud Tiger was naturally affected by Aixi's Pressure; its abilities, already impacted by aging, dropped by another ten percent, leaving it with only seventy percent of its peak strength.

The Thunder Cloud Tiger revealed a wary look, but as the Shouhuling of the Cai Clan, it had no choice but to bite the bullet and engage in battle.

"Aixi, finish it off!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Aixi braced itself and charged head-on toward the Thunder Cloud Tiger.

In an instant, the two collided fiercely.

Boom—

A dull sound of flesh colliding rang out; Aixi's strength and weight clearly held the advantage, forcefully knocking the Thunder Cloud Tiger back.

The Thunder Cloud Tiger dug its four limbs into the ground, carving out deep tiger-claw marks, and only managed to come to a stop after retreating nearly ten meters.

The difference in strength was immediately apparent!

Roar—

However, the Thunder Cloud Tiger still did not give up. Seeing Aixi charging again, crackling, concentrated electric currents emerged on its body. Propelled by the electricity, its speed surged by a large margin as it charged head-on toward Aixi.

Unfortunately, just as the two were about to collide, Aixi's massive tiger body spun like a top, brushing past the Thunder Cloud Tiger.

The Thunder Cloud Tiger's attack hit empty air, and the attached electric currents dissipated rapidly. Before it could finish turning around, Aixi had already pounced from behind.

Boom—

Another dull sound of flesh colliding rang out. This time, the Thunder Cloud Tiger was caught off balance and was knocked directly to the ground by Aixi, smashing hard into the solid mountain face and leaving a huge dent in the rock.

The Thunder Cloud Tiger shook its head, trying to stand up, but Aixi would not let this opportunity slip. It pounced again, using its sturdier tiger body to firmly suppress the Thunder Cloud Tiger, giving it no chance to stand back up.

In an instant, the fangs exposed by Aixi extended by an inch of golden light, biting fiercely into the Thunder Cloud Tiger's soft abdomen; the sharp fangs pierced directly through the fur on the belly and stabbed deep into its body.

Roar—

The Thunder Cloud Tiger let out a pained roar, and its thick, long tiger tail emitted a piercing sound of breaking air as it lashed out viciously at Aixi's head.

Slap—

Aixi shook its head, barely affected. This tail-whip from the Thunder Cloud Tiger was at most using fifty percent of its power and could not cause much damage to Aixi at all.

At this moment, Aixi tore forcefully, rapidly widening the wound on the Thunder Cloud Tiger's abdomen.

Countless amounts of blood sprayed out, but before it could touch the ground, it was collected by Li Zhangsheng using his Mental Power.

The White Tiger Bloodline Imprint within the Thunder Cloud Tiger was limited, and Li Zhangsheng naturally could not waste it in vain. Moreover, once he fully mastered the complete Book of Bloodlines and extracted the White Tiger Essence Blood from this Thunder Cloud Tiger, Aixi would likely be able to evolve again.

Roar-whimper—

The Thunder Cloud Tiger let out a mournful cry, its momentum clearly dropping a few notches compared to when they first met, giving off a sense of weakness.

However, it still did not cease its desire to live, continuously attacking Aixi with its tiger mouth, paws, and tail.

Aixi kept biting down without letting go, continuously widening the wound on the Thunder Cloud Tiger's abdomen.

In the span of just two or three breaths, a huge wound several feet long had been torn into the Thunder Cloud Tiger's abdomen.

With such a large wound, some internal organs flowed out directly. As the blood rapidly drained away, the Thunder Cloud Tiger's struggles became increasingly feeble, until it stopped moving altogether.

Aixi stood up from the ground; the Thunder Cloud Tiger's death-throes had only caused it to suffer some minor injuries.

Seeing the corpse of the Thunder Cloud Tiger, the corners of Li Zhangsheng's mouth could not stop curling upward. What he valued most was its Concentrated Grade White Tiger Bloodline, which could be considered a decent harvest.

In order to pack up the Thunder Cloud Tiger's corpse, Li Zhangsheng had to discard some sundries and larger, less valuable items.

Li Zhangsheng continued to contract the High Quality Fairies in the Beast Taming Garden, sweeping up all the High Quality Fairies in the entire Cai Clan Royal Beast Garden.

Unfortunately, although the Cai Clan Royal Beast Garden raised High Quality Fairies, apart from this Thunder Cloud Tiger, the rest were all Medium Grade wild Spirit Beasts.

But this was also normal, wasn't it? If there really were Superior Fairies, they would likely have been contracted long ago.

Carrying a bit of regret, Li Zhangsheng continued his looting spree.

The next target was naturally the Cai Family Treasure Pavilion, which could be said to be the place Li Zhangsheng was looking forward to most.

Even if they were only a newly promoted County-level Clan, the number of treasures in their Treasure Pavilion would surely far exceed that of the Li Clan, and perhaps he could find treasures useful to Li Zhangsheng.

It took about five minutes for Li Zhangsheng to finally find the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion was also a three-story building, and here, too, a Cai Clan Elder was stationed year-round, though its area was not as large as the Library Pavilion.

Similar to the scene in the Library Pavilion, the Cai Clan Elder stationed at the Treasure Pavilion subconsciously assumed Li Zhangsheng was a clan member, just a very unfamiliar face.

Before this Cai Clan Elder could react, Li Zhangsheng skillfully took him out with a hand-blade, fed him a sleep pill specially made by Kailan, and casually took his Space Ring and Monster Pet Bag.

Just like the classification in the Library Pavilion, the treasures in the Cai Family Treasure Pavilion were also divided into three grades: basic treasures, fine treasures, and heavy treasures.

Li Zhangsheng immediately projected his Mental Power, encompassing the entire first floor of the Treasure Pavilion. In an instant, dense light spots appeared in his mind, numbering in the thousands.

Most of these light spots were dim, with only a few being relatively bright, but they were still far from reaching Li Zhangsheng's standards.

If nothing went wrong, the first floor basically contained low-level materials, medicinal herbs, ores, Demon Cores, and similar items, and not a single one reached the level of a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object.

Li Zhangsheng did not let these few brighter light spots go; he found them one by one and tucked them away.

Without wasting much time, Li Zhangsheng strolled to the second floor.

This time, from the feedback of his Mental Power, over a hundred relatively bright light spots appeared, yet still not a single treasure reached the level of a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object.

Of course, there were also some treasures that possessed no energy themselves, but that did not mean their value was low; these would have to wait until Li Zhangsheng returned to be slowly appraised.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng packed them all up and took them away.

Unlike the entrance to the second floor, the staircase entrance leading to the third floor was locked by an extremely thick refined iron door, which had a groove on it.

Li Zhangsheng carefully compared it and found that the shape and size of the groove were exactly the same as the Cai Clan Leader Token.

Click, click, click—

After placing the Cai Clan Leader Token into the groove, the sound of the mechanism activating rang out, and the heavy refined iron door slowly opened, revealing a portal that only one person could pass through.

Li Zhangsheng lifted his leg and stepped into the third floor; unlike the previous two floors, there was only one small room here, less than one hundred square meters in size, and the entire room contained only one bookshelf, upon which were placed over a dozen sealed boxes.

These boxes varied in size, and their materials were also different, including wooden boxes, stone boxes, iron boxes, and even jade boxes, yet every single one was wrapped in a layer of energy restriction.

This gave one a feeling similar to the Treasure Pavilion Third Floor of Yuanling Academy, though compared to the Treasure Pavilion Third Floor, the grade of the Cai Family Treasure Pavilion third floor was certainly much worse.

Additionally, there were no restrictions here that limited Mental Power.

Li Zhangsheng slowly stepped forward; the Cai Clan Leader Token was practically a universal key here, and in front of this Clan Leader Token, the several Important Areas of the Cai Clan had no resistance whatsoever.

Using the Clan Leader Token, Li Zhangsheng closed all these restrictions and casually opened the nearest jade box, revealing a water-drop-shaped, water-blue stone, roughly the size of an infant's fist.

Beside this stone, there was also a small card recording the information for this item.

Water Origin Stone: Can be absorbed by Water Attribute Demon Pets to increase their breakthrough probability! Note: It is only effective for up to Elite Demon Pets, and the higher the rank of the Demon Pet, the smaller the increased breakthrough probability; non-Water Attribute Demon Pets must not use it.

Simply put, this was a treasure similar to Yaohua Gold Jade, only it corresponded to Water Attribute Demon Pets, and it could barely reach the category of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object.

After putting away the Water Origin Stone, Li Zhangsheng began to shift his target, checking the remaining treasures one by one.

Fire-Radiance Stone Scepter: Advanced Treasure, enhances the power of Fire Element skills.

Thunder Meteor Wood: For Thunder Attribute Demon Pets to absorb, with a certain probability of assisting the Demon Pet in comprehending a second trait. Note: The comprehended trait can only be related to the Thunder Attribute.

Advanced Stamina Food Recipe: Long-term consumption by Demon Pets can effectively increase their stamina.

……

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng finished looking through these boxes.

All in all, it was quite good!

Among them, there were a few items that also had a certain use for Li Zhangsheng, and what made him happiest was a green crystal the size of an adult's fist.

Among these treasures, this green crystal was also the only treasure that reached the Heavenly Essence Grade.

"Wood Element Crystal, Kailan is in for a treat!"

With the size of this Wood Element Crystal, Kailan had a not-insignificant possibility of completing an evolution.

Without any surprises, Li Zhangsheng packed up all these treasures and took them away.

However, upon arriving at the first floor, Li Zhangsheng's ears twitched, and he faintly heard a noisy sound, which had a tendency to grow louder.

If there were no surprises, it was likely that the Cai Clan had already discovered that someone had broken in.

"Only discovering it now, it's too late!!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head; he had already ransacked the three most important Important Areas of the Cai Clan.

With the Cai Clan's current power, how could they possibly stop him?

Li Zhangsheng still had to go to Cai Yangqian's residence; while cutting weeds and eliminating the roots, he would take the opportunity to see if there were any other gains there.

Cold air is coming, everyone remember to keep warm; in these extraordinary times, keeping warm is very important!
