The Sky Spirit weapon had already transcended the typical meaning of weapon grades; its power was terrifying.
With a few swipes of the sword, the black bands in front of him fluttered in the air like shredded paper. This sight left the two fellows dumbfounded.
“Big brother, what on earth is going on? He can actually sever our soul strips so effortlessly!” LaoEr exclaimed.
“How the hell should I know, it’s damn confusing.” The elder brother scolded angrily.
“Brother, should we just retreat for now?”
“How can you call it retreating, it’s a strategic withdrawal, understand?”
“Brother is so mighty!”
“LaoEr, let’s get out of here.”
After their idiotic conversation ended, they looked at Jiang Xiaobai with an expression of annoyance.
Then they saw the two men’s black bands wildly dancing in the sky. By the time it all ended, the dim-witted brothers had disappeared, and Jiang Xiaobai, even with his divine consciousness fully spread, could not sense them.
For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai stood blankly in place, looking at the longsword in his hand in silence.
What on earth had he run into?
“This cultivation world is truly strange. Not only are there such characters, but despite their mental issues, their attacking methods are so unique.”
Jiang Xiaobai put away his sword and murmured, “That’s right, what did these two guys want from me? Did I steal something from them?”
He was clueless, until he finally remembered the mysterious key he found in the abandoned cave. That was the only possibility.
Originally, he had no thoughts about the mysterious key, but now it seemed that others were also looking for it. Although he did not know what it was for, it must be something good.
Having figured that out, an idea sprouted in Jiang Xiaobai’s mind. If he could capture these dumb brothers alive, he might learn the truth about the key through interrogation.
However, those two ran away too fast, and Jiang Xiaobai currently doesn’t have any good means of tracking them, so he could only give up.
But Jiang Xiaobai knew they would most definitely return once they had their money, and he wasn’t in a hurry.
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t take this matter to heart.
The two big monsters in the South Mountain were already killed, but he didn’t hear the system notification for completing the mission. Clearly, there were other monsters in the South Mountain.
At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai began searching for monsters all over the mountain, aiming to purge this place first.
Despite not being a large mountain, it must be said that there were quite a few monsters on this mountain. Jiang Xiaobai spent two hours killing more than thirty monsters before the area was finally cleared.
Upon completing the mission, the system notified him about the reward.
It was a randomly generated Dividing the Gods talisman, and he was not informed immediately what he had won after he completed the reward, but he had to check it himself.
He didn’t have time for that right now. After completing the mission, he spread his divine mind completely and began looking for clues in the surroundings.
Jiang Xiaobai finally discovered that the only place in the South Mountain with unusually thick aura was the cave where the two big monsters were.
Back in the cave of the black bear spirit, Jiang Xiaobai took out the
“Meandering Veins Record.” The book slowly floated in the air, then opened on its own, followed by a flash of golden light.
A real-time map then appeared in Jiang Xiaobai’s mind. One glance at it, and he was grinning from ear to ear.
A large red dot appeared on the map, even larger than the one he had seen in the ruined cave, and the red dot’s color was incredibly vivid.
If he wasn’t mistaken, there was indeed a Divine Stone mine underneath. Furthermore, the size and quality of the mine were quite impressive.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai immediately burrowed underground and soon found the location of the mine. He created a cavity around him and then carefully examined the massive divine stone in front of him.
The density of aura in the divine stone was very high, at least at the level of mid-grade divine stones. After discovering this, Jiang Xiaobai laughed with joy.
Indeed, heaven aids the diligent. He had finally found something good.
Subsequently, he excitedly began to inspect the entire mine and discovered that the quality of the divine stones in the mine was generally high. The raw stones that could be made into top-grade divine stones occupied one third of the mine!
What a pleasant surprise!
At the same time, the size of the divine stone mine was also very satisfying. Jiang Xiaobai roughly estimated that its worth was at least several ten million top-grade divine stones. This thing could serve as a life-saving trump card even if he didn’t use it and gave it to Dragon Valley.
Having found the divine stone mine, Jiang Xiaobai felt more relaxed. No matter what the ancient clan intended to do in Dragon Valley, he had the ability to protect himself.
If it really came down to it, he could pull everyone down with him by using up all his humble merits; it would probably be enough.
Don’t underestimate how little merit he’d gained from Five Lotus Mountain, remember, even the slightest bit of merit could trigger Divine Punishment.
He could use those merits to summon one such powerful thunder.
Once assured, Jiang Xiaobai prepared to use another feature of the
“Meandering Veins Record.” He discovered this feature the first time he found the abandoned mine.
This “Meandering Veins Record” could even absorb the divine stone veins, or the land veins, into it!
As expected of a Sky Spirit treasure, it was truly terrifying.
Just as he was about to collect the vein, his brow furrowed, his gaze penetrating the soil layer and looking ahead.
He sensed a powerful aura fluctuation. Though it was strong, it only appeared for an instant and disappeared almost as soon as Jiang Xiaobai noticed it.
Immediately, Jiang Xiaobai used earth escape to rush towards its source. While moving, he was observing carefully, and not long after, the fluctuation of spiritual power came again, with only a dozen minutes or so since the last.
Thus, Jiang Xiaobai kept determining its location based on the fluctuation and ultimately found a sapphire stone in the center of the vein. The palm-sized stone was very neat and emanated a vast aura.
Before Jiang Xiaobai figured out what it was, the “Meandering Veins Record” in his hand suddenly opened on its own, stopping on a certain page.
Looking down, Jiang Xiaobai saw an image depicted vividly on the page. It was the sapphire stone he held.
Not only that, there was also a footnote next to it.
“This is actually a celestial stone!” Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed.
According to the “Meandering Veins Record, ” this thing was a celestial stone, which contained not spiritual energy but celestial energy, which was a higher tier power beyond the understanding of ordinary cultivators!
Upon this discovery, Jiang Xiaobai was overjoyed.. He didn’t expect to come out looking for a lifesaving undercard, only to find the ace up his sleeve!
