Chapter 203: Spiritual Plant

Wang Yu looked at the black "Lei Zhu" in the silver box, feeling somewhat tongue-tied.

This was just a little bit of lightning automatically released by the bead when no one was controlling it. If one could pour out all the lightning power inside in one go, the power would be unimaginable. I'm afraid even a Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be able to escape unscathed from this bead.

But what kind of treasure is this bead?

It looks a bit like some kind of thunder-attribute monster core, but it's more like a specially refined one-time consumable artifact!

Just like the blue round bead artifact he refined for Gu Lian.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu carefully opened the silver box again, let out a low shout of "Overclocking," held the box up to his eyes, his eyes flashing with crystal light, and stared carefully at the black round bead in the box.

The faint black Qi on the surface of the black round bead condensed and did not dissipate, and wisps of electric light flashed inside incessantly.

After a good while, he seemed to have seen something from the surface of the bead. After a flash of joy on his face, he pinched a spell with one hand and carefully transmitted a wisp of magic power into the Lei Zhu from a distance.

The black Qi on the surface of the black round bead rolled slightly, and a low roar was vaguely heard inside, but no electric arc shot out. However, as the injection of magic power increased, dense silver spiritual patterns gradually appeared on the surface of the "Lei Zhu."

Wang Yu's pupils shrank. Relying on his astonishing eyesight and refining experience, he instantly distinguished the number of spiritual pattern symbols on the surface of this bead, which actually numbered as many as twenty-four!

This meant that this round bead was a genuine second-rank artifact.

Wang Yu suppressed the horror in his heart, carefully withdrew the magic power from the round bead, immediately closed the lid again, and pasted the two restriction talismans from before. Only then did his heart relax slightly.

But for such a terrifying one-time second-rank artifact, that demonic path true disciple who knew transformation techniques hadn't even had time to take it out and activate it. One could imagine how stifled he must have been when he died in his hands!

Although with his terrifying escape speed of the Wind-Fire Wheel, the opponent using this Lei Zhu might not necessarily have been able to truly seriously injure him, it would at least have forced him back temporarily, leaving the opponent a chance to activate the Blood Escape Talisman and escape.

It seems that after this person transformed, there was indeed a high probability that he could not activate other artifacts at the same time.

Wang Yu showed a thoughtful expression and put the things on the ground into his storage bag. Although he didn't find the cultivation method for the opponent's skin-transformation, his interest in this secret technique didn't decrease by more than half.

But the astonishing harvest of two consecutive storage bags made Wang Yu greatly look forward to the storage bag of the Black Soul Sect's tenth true disciple, who had also died in his hands.

Although the opponent's ranking among the Black Soul Sect's true disciples wasn't very high, his true strength was definitely far above his ranking.

Wang Yu fished the white storage bag from his bosom, urged it with magic power, dumped it onto the ground, and after looking at it, couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed.

On the ground was piled a dense, large pile of various sizes of white bones. Among these bones lay a dozen motionless Bone Human Demons.

Apart from this, there were only some medicine bottles, talismans, and a dozen mid-grade spiritual stones.

Although there were more than a dozen artifacts, they were all bone-type, non-entry-rank artifacts like bone bows and bone shields, which were clearly for the Bone Human Demons to use.

Even the Blood Escape Talisman only had one left.

But thinking about it, it made sense. The black-robed youth had previously released over a hundred Bone Human Demons in one go and had also cultivated a Yin Soul Banner close to the second rank and a giant skeleton more than ten times larger than an ordinary Bone Human Demon. How could he have had the energy to purchase any other artifacts?

As for the secret technique for refining the giant skeleton, although he was also very interested, the opponent clearly hadn't put the refining method into the storage bag, so he could only feel slightly regretful.

After Wang Yu checked the medicine bottles and ordinary talismans and found no other unexpected discoveries, he put all the bones and other things on the ground into the storage bag with the largest space.

After he cleaned up everything, he no longer stayed in the tree hole, left the forest silently, and continued toward the center of the mountain range.

However, this time, he didn't go to find Tian Junzi and the others, nor did he release the spiritual boat to fly, but instead deviated slightly from the direction, trying his best to find some remote and secret paths, moving forward slowly without haste.

This time, for some reason, after walking for nearly half a day, nothing happened. Not only were there no demonic path disciples, but even the people of the Four Sects were nowhere to be seen.

This instead made Wang Yu feel somewhat uneasy.

Could it be that everyone else had run ahead of him, or had something else major happened?

Just as he was pondering, he passed through a pile of rubble, and a small mountain hollow suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The entrance to this mountain hollow was not large, and on both sides were dense bushes full of sharp thorns.

He glanced at it and originally intended to bypass this mountain hollow, but just at this moment, a fresh fragrance suddenly emanated from the mountain hollow.

"This is..."

Wang Yu sniffed with his nose, felt his spirit perk up slightly, and couldn't help but stop his footsteps.

Just at this moment, on the hillside not far away, a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps came, followed by a dozen large trees on the hillside collapsing one after another. It seemed that some behemoth was rushing toward this side rapidly.

Wang Yu's gaze flashed, he pinched a spell with one hand, a few wisps of white clouds flashed on his body, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the original place. At the same time, his figure flickered, and he retreated silently back into the pile of rubble.

"Huff, huff."

A brown wild boar with red eyes, two zhang long, with a mouth full of tusks, rushed down from the hillside like a heavy truck, emitting strange grunts while rushing into the mountain hollow without looking back.

"Boom." A loud noise.

It crashed head-on into the mountain rocks at one side of the entrance to the mountain hollow, directly smashing the rocks to pieces, then shook its head and rushed into the mountain hollow again.

Not long after, grunts of the wild boar and continuous crashing sounds came from the mountain hollow. The entire mountain hollow was shaking slightly; it seemed this giant beast was rampaging inside.

But apart from this, another kind of "hissing" low moan came from the mountain hollow; it seemed there was something else in the mountain hollow as well.

Wang Yu's figure flickered, and he stepped into the mountain hollow silently. The place in front was clearly not very large. After walking only a dozen steps, he saw the entire mountain hollow clearly.

As a result, he saw two huge monsters fighting each other on a patch of grass dozens of zhang away.

One head was precisely the giant wild boar that had charged in earlier, while the other was a green, bowl-thick, monstrous python with an even more massive body.

This strange python was four zhang long, with golden pupils and a large fleshy lump on its head. With a flick of its tail, it could directly slap the giant wild boar out several zhang away, causing it to fall heavily onto the nearby mountain rocks.

The wild boar, covered in thick brown fur, had its mane standing up like steel needles. On its two largest tusks exposed outside, flames were burning. No matter how many times it was slapped by the giant python, it would immediately grunt and crawl up again, continuing to lower its head and rush toward the strange python.

However, at this moment, apart from these two huge monsters, what attracted Wang Yu's gaze the most was a small tree that was pale white all over at the end of the mountain hollow.

This small tree was only half a zhang high, but it was covered with flat, long leaves as white as snow. These leaves were emitting waves of alluring, fresh fragrance. ===== CHAPTER 204 =====
