Chapter 166: Chapter 151: The Transfer of Supplies_1

After Dong Tianze disappeared.

Looking at the numerous saplings and the faintly glowing seeds of plants and flowers, Pang Jian furrowed his brows and muttered, "Not a bit of manners, I hadn’t even finished speaking."

He had intended to ask by what means the Dark Ghost communicated and traded with the Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm.

One of the reasons he had reactivated the Ghost Altar was to understand more about the Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm through the Dark Ghost and Dong Tianze.

He wanted to know how the Dark Ghost and the Yin Spirit Temple behind Dong Tianze viewed the Alien Tribes below.

Unexpectedly, just as the trade concluded, Dong Tianze showed no interest in conversation and simply left.

"Is this Dong Tianze an idiot?"

Having watched at the cave entrance for a while, Luo Hongyan couldn’t hold back her giggles any longer and, laughing, she said, "I really didn’t expect him to accept your demand to open the Ghost Altar, and even collect so many... saplings and flower seeds for you, for no apparent reason."

"Pang Jian, how could you be so sure that he would respond to you?"

Luo Hongyan was very puzzled.

Hesitating for a moment, Pang Jian seriously replied, "Don’t you think there’s something wrong with his head? I’ve noticed that once he becomes irrationally violent, his mind becomes confused, clearly not quite right."

"Uh..."

Luo Hongyan’s beautiful eyes first showed surprise, then she laughed incredulously, "Do you really think he’s an idiot?"

Pang Jian nodded and continued, "I’ve always felt that there’s something off about him. He seems to lack a sense of recognition and behind his mad and bloodthirsty temperament, there seems to be some kind of psychological defect."

"I wasn’t completely certain that he would be willing to trade with me through the Ghost Altar; I figured there was no harm in trying."

"Alright then," Luo Hongyan smiled, and immediately looking at the saplings and seeds scattered inside the cave, her eyes showed a different color as she asked, "Can you now tell me, what exactly do you plan to do with these things you’ve asked him to purchase?"

Tree saplings and flower seeds worth a total of ten thousand Spirit Stones really baffled Luo Hongyan; she couldn’t fathom Pang Jian’s intentions.

But she still chose to support Pang Jian unconditionally.

"It’s not that I need them, but... it does."

Pang Jian took out a copper badge shaped like a door from his clothing, not avoiding too much prying, and said solemnly, "It’s the one that needs the saplings and all sorts of seeds."

Luo Hongyan’s eyes brightened, and she asked no further questions, very tactfully leaving the cave entrance.

Having been with Pang Jian for so long, she was already aware of the copper badge’s mysterious and magical qualities. Since it was the copper badge that longed for the saplings and seeds, she felt that everything made sense.

In the cave.

Pang Jian, holding the copper badge, sat amidst the saplings and seeds, his brows knit in deep thought.

"I could put these saplings and seeds into the storage ring, then return to Fragment Land where the Mysterious Turtle is, and use it to return to its origins in Cloud Marsh."

"But..."

Pang Jian appeared somewhat troubled.

He could reach the Dark Giant Python through the Corrosion Boundary Vine, and in the same way, return to the location of the Corrosion Boundary Vine.

Since this was the case, he believed that the four mystical objects nurtured by the copper badge, once they left the badge one by one, should be able to locate him and transfer him together with the copper badge.

Now, the problem in front of him was that he needed to first return to Fragment Land where the Mysterious Turtle was, in order to give the saplings and many seeds to the Corrosion Boundary Vine of Cloud Marsh.

Then, he would return to where the Mysterious Turtle was, and return to the Third Realm in the same manner.

This would consume a great deal of his time, and his plan to go to the territory governed by Cao with Luo Hongyan would be forced to stop.

"Is there a possibility that allows me to directly use this copper badge..."

He thought hard about it.

The copper badge rested in the palm of his left hand, and with the fingertips of his right hand, he pressed against the front of the badge, trying to communicate with the Corrosion Boundary Vine in a focused manner.

Soon, he sensed the Corrosion Boundary Vine in Cloud Marsh, acquiring the vine’s perspective.

"If the transfer of objects can work with the Ghost Altar, perhaps the copper badge could do it as well..."

Once he made the connection, he silently recited, wanting to see if he could trigger something extraordinary.

He suddenly felt a chill in his palm!

An Ice Crystal filled with space Alien Power quietly froze the copper badge, and an enigmatic circle of crystal light spread from his palm, much like the Mirror Tunnel he knew.

In his perception, the Mirror Tunnel on the surface of Wulan Lake, looking like an Ice Crystal, had suddenly formed in his palm!

Previously, within the tunnel that resembled the Ice Crystal atop the lake, many deep green alien lights and lines intertwined to shape the Mysterious Turtle.

At this moment, it enveloped that piece of mysterious copper badge!

"Perhaps it really could work!"

Pang Jian picked up the sapling closest to him, threw it toward the bright waves of light emitted above the copper badge in his palm.

"Whoosh!"

A sapling vanished into thin air!

At the other end, in Cloud Marsh.

The very sapling that disappeared shot out from the increasingly thick stem of the Corrosion Boundary Vine.

Pang Jian was suddenly overjoyed!

Without any more hesitation, he picked up each sapling and flower seed collected and purchased by Dong Tianze, and one by one, threw them toward the bright waves of light above the copper badge in his palm.

Saplings and seeds vanished one after another!

The Fourth Realm.

Under the dim Sky Curtain that had become a land forbidden to life, a unique tree that stood only slightly taller than the other trees, had seedlings and seeds continuously flying out from its branches and roots!

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Dozens of saplings and nearly a hundred seeds of various plants and flowers appeared out of thin air in an inconceivable manner!

The Corrosion Boundary Vine excitedly displayed its magic.

"Whoosh!"

Each and every one of its branches shone with a mystical, green luminescent brilliance.

Iridescent green rivers of light flowed graciously from its branches, like streams suspended above Cloud Marsh, meandering in all directions.

Within the ethereal green streams, crafted from the pure alien power of plants, floated countless saplings and glowing seeds of flowers and herbs.

What was most magical was that the saplings and seeds floating in those eerie green streams had actually begun to grow at an accelerated rate!

The saplings gradually grew stronger!

The seeds, small as pebbles, nourished by the alien power of plants, burst their soft shells, revealing tender sprouts!

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!"

Centered around the Corrosion Boundary Vine and extending through the air towards all parts of Cloud Marsh, the mysterious rivers nurtured an alternative vitality.

The rivers not only nurtured the saplings and seeds within them but also delivered them to every corner of Cloud Marsh.

Ten miles, thirty miles, a hundred miles!

In the Fragment Land of Cloud Marsh, now devoid of ferocious beasts due to the contamination of Filth Alien Power, a magical scene directed by the Corrosion Boundary Vine unfolded, a pity that it was witnessed by none.

In this very ordinary daytime.

The Corrosion Boundary Vine transported out the many sprouts of flowers and trees, intending to transform Thousand Miles of Cloud Land into a magical world under its dominion.

It also kept conveying feelings of gratitude and joyous closeness to Pang Jian.

Initially just hoping to find ordinary saplings and seeds, it never expected that Pang Jian would provide it with seeds of spirit plants and exotic herbs.

This greatly surpassed its expectations, giving it an immense surprise and moving it deeply.

The sapling, which had only recently developed consciousness, realized how much these spirit plant and exotic herb seeds would aid its growth.

Incapable of expressing itself in too complex a manner, it simply kept transmitting its joy, and its gratitude towards Pang Jian.

Inside the cave dwelling.

"It actually worked..."

Only after the last batch of plant seeds vanished within the bright waves emitted by the Ice Crystals, and feeling wearied, Pang Jian finally severed the connection and silently took a Calming Pill.

The sapling’s joyous surprises and frequent expressions of gratitude brought a rare smile to Pang Jian’s face.

"Dong Tianze, that fellow, gave me a surprise and allowed me to give it a big surprise in return."

In the cave from which Luo Hongyan had departed, Pang Jian’s lips wore a faint smile, nodding gently and murmuring to himself.

Suddenly, he had a strong hunch that due to the transportation of these saplings and seeds, Thousand Miles of Cloud Land would undergo an astounding transformation!

The sapling named Corrosion Boundary Vine would also grow more rapidly, eventually becoming one of the sources of Filth highlighted by Li Yuqing... a terrifying one.

He believed the sapling, which showed him immense trust and closeness, would surely repay him well once it grew sufficiently.

"The Mysterious Turtle and the sapling are far more loyal than that Rebel Kid..."

With a light snort in his heart, Pang Jian, as the effects of the Calming Pill dissipated, habitually established a connection with the Dark Giant Python.

...

Fifth Realm.

"In our Fifth Realm, there will never be Thunderous Lightning, where would you find Thunderstrike Wood, huh?"

"Only mountains blessed with sunlight, and inside the mines, is there a small chance for Sun Essence Stone to form. Above us in the Fourth Realm, neither day nor celestial bodies are visible, and even warriors that reach the Fourth Realm would hardly find Sun Essence Stone."

"Then there’s Gold Friday Stone, which is also scarce in the Fifth Realm."

"Alas, never seeing the light of day, the Fifth Realm at the bottom has its inherent flaws, what to do, what to do..."

"..."

The Goddess of the Alien Tribes caressed the forehead of the Dark Giant Python, gazing at a bare stone mountain ahead with a frown and a heavy sigh.

"Thunderstrike Wood, Sun Essence Stone, Gold Friday Stone..."

Pang Jian, listening clearly through the Dark Giant Python, discovered that the Alien Tribes’ Goddess coveted Thunderstrike Wood and Gold Friday Stone, two items he just happened to still possess.

These two types of Spiritual Materials came from individual cultivators who died at Ice Rock Island, leftover from his trade with Dong Tianze.

After pondering for a moment, an idea flashed through Pang Jian’s mind, and he immediately attempted to act on it.

Maintaining the connection with the Dark Giant Python, he silently recited in the same way he communicated with the Corrosion Boundary Vine.

Quickly, the copper token was once again enveloped in Ice Crystal’s embrace, releasing another wave of bright light.

"It worked!"

Pang Jian, from his storage ring, nonchalantly tossed the remaining pieces of Gold Friday Stone and Thunderstrike Wood towards the light wave, resembling a Mirror Tunnel, and watched as the materials disappeared one by one.

He continued to maintain the connection with the Dark Giant Python.

Suddenly, he felt a swelling pain in his abdomen!

He immediately realized that the pain did not truly originate from him, but from the Dark Giant Python in the Fifth Realm!

"Ouch!"

The Dark Giant Python of the Fifth Realm was overcome by a baffling agony, its pitch-black eyes filled with terror.

Crawling on the ground, it rolled and writhed continuously in its struggle.

As it tossed and turned in its struggle, it sensed the pain stemmed from its swollen belly, and so it started retching with howls of distress.

"Plunk!"

Chunks of glittering stones and branches laden with natural thunder patterns were agonizingly vomited out by the creature.

...
