Chapter 384: Chapter 380: Supreme Green Wood Spirit Crystal

"Even the ultimate secret technique of the Water and Fire Spirit Flower cannot make my heart flutter as much as my own life matters!"

With a flick of spiritual power, Ye Zhen summoned a clump of cloud qi. Compressing it with his spiritual power, he cleaned off the red and white substances on his hands, and then began searching the body of Huaa Wushuang.

One would expect that the World’s No.1 Young Master, Huaa Wushuang, would bring Ye Zhen a good harvest.

However, a moment later, a hint of disappointment appeared on Ye Zhen’s face.

Indeed, the personal wealth of the World’s No.1 Young Master, Huaa Wushuang, was quite impressive, and the foundations of the Tiannan Huaa Family were also solid. Yet, among his personal belongings, there was not a single item that excited Ye Zhen.

For example, Huaa Wushuang’s storage ring was a hundred meters in length, width, and height, which is a High Grade Treasure Ring. To other martial artists, it was exceptionally precious, but Ye Zhen had one already.

Inside Huaa Wushuang’s storage ring, there were over a hundred High Grade Spirit Crystals, more than a thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, and a mere ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals. There were no golden yuanbao or silver notes to be seen, but baby fist-sized Golden Yuanbao were piled up like small hills.

These were a significant supplement for Ye Zhen’s currently empty storage ring.

The other items in Huaa Wushuang’s storage ring, such as the thirteen bottles of Ning Shen Jade Liquid, were precious to other martial artists. However, they were not so rare for Ye Zhen.

But thinking about it, all precious treasures on Huaa Wushuang had been destroyed in the previous ranking battles. High Grade Treasure Armor and High Grade Treasures—if these items were placed in the Jianghu, they would indeed instigate a bloodbath.

But on the other hand, if those two treasures hadn’t been destroyed, killing Huaa Wushuang today would have been very difficult for Ye Zhen, especially with that piece of High Grade Treasure Armor. It would have been Ye Zhen’s nightmare!

It must be said that ancient noble families like the Tiannan Huaa Clan put great emphasis on family secret techniques and martial skills. After scouring through all of Huaa Wushuang’s jade talismans and pamphlets in his storage ring, Ye Zhen didn’t find a single martial technique or secret technique.

However, obtaining a copy of the Seven-Transition Soul Nourishing Technique from Huaa Wushuang’s Divine Record left Ye Zhen quite content. Of course, he still had to take the time to verify the authenticity and completeness of this Seven-Transition Soul Nourishing Technique from Huaa Wushuang’s Divine Record.

Ye Zhen had never done something like feeding demon beast with human corpses before. With a blaze, he turned Huaa Wushuang’s body into ashes. However, he kept all of Huaa Wushuang’s personal items.

Items like the storage ring, a jade pendant with a faint energy fluctuation on his chest, and even a glowing jade hairpin used to tie up the hair, Ye Zhen kept them all.

Killing Huaa Wushuang was actually not a big deal; the key issue was how to handle the aftermath.

The Tiannan Huaa Family, who stood behind Huaa Wushuang, was an existence that even the Phantom Divine Sect would find troublesome. If they were to come after the Qiyun Sect, it could lead to the sect’s annihilation.

One problem that Ye Zhen couldn’t ignore was that after Huaa Wushuang’s death, the prime suspect would definitely be Ye Zhen.

Because not only did Ye Zhen have a grudge against Huaa Wushuang, but he also had the strength to kill him.

For the strong, they don’t need evidence, perhaps a rumor, a shred of suspicion, would be enough to make them swarm out, attack the enemy’s doorstep, and avenge their blood feud.

This was exactly what Ye Zhen was worried about.

Therefore, Ye Zhen kept all of Huaa Wushuang’s personal belongings, and a superficial plan was gradually taking shape in his mind. However, as to how exactly to execute it, Ye Zhen had not yet thought it through.

After riding the Cloud Winged Tiger back to the entrance peak of the Black Dragon Secret Palace, Ye Zhen waited for over an hour without seeing Caiyi appear and decided to leave first.

The Black Dragon Secret Palace was vast beyond compare. When the sixty-seven martial artists from the Black Dragon Ranking were scattered in, it was like sprinkling a handful of rice into the ocean—impossible to encounter anyone.

Ye Zhen wandered aimlessly, crossing pale, high mountains, and then passing through an exceptionally dark gorge devoid of any miscellaneous colors. Suddenly, a strange green mountain ahead caught Ye Zhen’s eye.

The green mountain was lush and verdant, resembling pine in some places and dripping green in others.

Stranger still, the entire mountain had not a single plant, no green trees, no grass. Yet it bizarrely exuded vitality, an extremely surging and vibrant life force.

Rather, it should be said that it’s an absurdly pure and thick wood spirit power, similar to the main wood spirit power cultivated by the Qingluo Sect.

Pure wood spirit power—Ye Zhen had sensed it from the Sect Leader of the Qingluo Sect, Wan Feng, but if Wan Feng’s wood spirit power were compared with the wood spirit power of this green mountain, it would be a million times less.

Yes, a difference by a million times.

In front of this mountain that exuded the aura of wood spirit power, Sect Leader Wan Feng’s wood spirit power of Qingluo Sect seemed like a martial artist who had just cultivated wood spirit power for the first time.

If this green mountain were a ten-thousand-year-old green wood, then Wan Feng would be like a little grass that has just sprouted.

"How could there be such intense wood spirit power?"

With that thought, Ye Zhen tried to step onto the green mountain to explore it.

Bang!

The moment he came within ten meters of the mountain’s base, still ten meters away from the strange green mountain, Ye Zhen felt a violent tremor in his body. Uncontrollably, he was flung backward, as if he were being shot out like a bolt from a crossbow cannon, and was instantly thrown back a thousand meters.

Crack!

At the moment he was blasted away, the Red Jade Spirit Armor covering Ye Zhen’s body was torn like tissue paper.

No, it would be more accurate to say it was shattered like jade blocks, instantly breaking into pieces.

Hiss!

Ye Zhen couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath of air.

His Red Jade Spirit Armor, not even the mightiest warrior at the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm could tear it so easily. This green mountain, merely with its rebound force...

Ye Zhen’s expression became exceedingly grave, "Could it be that this green mountain is related to the legendary Black Dragon or the Dragon Spirit?"

The reason he came to this conclusion was because of the behavior of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

Ye Zhen noticed that after getting close to this strange green mountain, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten in his arms began to tremble violently, and even let out abnormally fearful whines. Just a moment ago, when Ye Zhen walked within ten meters of this green mountain, he suddenly discovered that the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had stopped moving.

Ye Zhen initially thought the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had returned to normal, but unexpectedly, upon closer inspection, he found that the kitten was rolling its eyes back and had passed out.

This left Ye Zhen completely dumbfounded.

You little guy are now a Cloud Winged Tiger King, how can you act so fragile?

However, it was precisely the reaction of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten that led Ye Zhen to associate this green mountain with the legendary Black Dragon or Dragon Spirit.

Only among demon beasts does such a direct hierarchy pressure exist.

Setting the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten aside, Ye Zhen cautiously approached again within ten meters of this strange green mountain.

But he dared not move forward any further, because Ye Zhen had already sensed the terrifying wood spirit power fluctuations; stepping any closer would mean being blasted away once more.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s gaze was stunned by the sight of shiny, ink-green, chunky matter all over the mountain. His mouth spontaneously opened wide in sheer astonishment!

"Good Lord... This... Could these all be... Green Wood Spirit Crystals?"

They were everywhere, and a single glimpse revealed no less than a million pieces, all of which were the ink-green Green Wood Spirit Crystals.

Attribute Spirit Crystals also have grades, such as the Green Wood Spirit Crystals, which are divided into Low Grade, Mid-grade, High Grade, and Supreme.

Low Grade Green Wood Spirit Crystals are light green, Mid-grade ones are bluish-green, High Grade ones are dark green, and only Supreme Green Wood Spirit Crystals are ink-green.

One Supreme Spirit Crystal is equivalent to a million Low Grade Spirit Crystals, and one Supreme Attribute Spirit Crystal may be worth tens of millions of Low Grade Spirit Crystals.

And there may be millions of pieces of these ink-green Green Wood Spirit Crystals here.

Ye Zhen thought that even if he couldn’t obtain all of them, just getting ten or a few hundred pieces would be enough cultivation resources for his entire life.

Ye Zhen’s eyes immediately glazed over.

"I must find a way to get one!"

However, wishing is one thing, whether it can be done is another.

Two hours later, a battered Ye Zhen sat down next to the shivering Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, panting for breath.

In those two hours, he tried over a thousand times; the closest he got to a Green Wood Spirit Crystal was just one foot away, a piece that had rolled down to the base of the mountain.

But even this one foot might as well have been an insurmountable distance for Ye Zhen. Despite trying thousands of times, he was unable to shorten that one-foot gap at all, let alone obtain the Green Wood Spirit Crystal.

"Could it be that I have to leave this treasure mountain empty-handed?"

Ye Zhen felt unwilling to accept this outcome.

But what can he do about it?

It’s precisely because the terrifying spiritual power within this Green Wood Spirit Mountain has no offensive nature, acting similar to a Guardian Light Screen, passively protecting it, otherwise, Ye Zhen would have been shattered to pieces long ago.

Another fifteen minutes later, Ye Zhen, holding the trembling Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, reluctantly left, his eyes filled with the image of the ink-green Green Wood Spirit Crystals sparkling with bright light.

Even just one piece would have been great!

Not only could he not obtain one, but Ye Zhen also had to walk around this endlessly large, strange green mountain. Its surroundings, including the sky above, seemed like a forbidden land that was utterly impassable.

"What’s the deal with this strange green mountain in the Black Dragon Secret Palace? And the rosy clouds dragon spirit above the Black Dragon Ancient Land, could it be living inside this Black Dragon Secret Palace?"

"Dragon Spirit? Eh?"

At this thought, Ye Zhen suddenly remembered the magma storm that had destroyed everything in his Storage Ring earlier.

And it was the long Dragon Roar of the rosy clouds dragon spirit in the sky that triggered that magma storm.

After the magma storm, only three things remained in Ye Zhen’s Storage Ring—the Stone Marrow Pearl, the Blood Spirit Bead, and that strange human-head-sized black bead capable of swallowing power.

Ye Zhen wondered which of these three surviving items might be related to the Dragon Roar of the rosy clouds dragon spirit, or perhaps to the Black Dragon Secret Palace.

"Should I take them out and see?"

With that thought, Ye Zhen took out the three items that had survived the magma storm one by one from his Storage Ring.

The first one he took out was the Stone Marrow Pearl; it showed no reaction.

The second one was the Blood Spirit Bead; it emitted a bright blood light upon being taken out, but it didn’t seem to have any connection with the Black Dragon Secret Palace.

The last one he took out was the human-head-sized black Stone Bead.

Hmm?

The moment Ye Zhen took out the black Stone Bead, his face dramatically changed! (To be continued.
