Chapter 365
by fanqienovelChapter 365: Perhaps There Are Good Things
Ye Jian never expected that simply mentioning to her good friend Ling’er that her younger generation possessed spirit roots would lead to such a large chain reaction in the large group chat.
That day, Ye Jian received a message from her friend Ling’er.
“Wuwu, Ye Jian, I really am not my Dad’s child…”
Seeing her friend’s message, Ye Jian didn’t know how to respond at first.
If Ling’er wasn’t her father’s child, then it seemed Ye Jian was in the same situation.
However, unlike Ling’er, who still had loving parents, Ye Jian’s parents had long since passed away.
…
On the moon of the Abandoned Prison Star,
In a cave, Ha Mu finally used true essence to extinguish the sword energy from his wound.
In the next moment, his upper half, which was all that remained, quickly grew back into a full body.
In less than a moment, he had completely recovered to his original state.
“Damn it, damn it!”
The old man gritted his teeth, a look of anger filling his eyes.
He never imagined that a mid-Tribulation stage great emperor powerhouse like him would one day fall to a little girl in the Divine Transformation stage.
“Black Fox, come here.”
Shortly after, a man dressed in black, who was in the Late Integration Stage, entered the cave.
“Master,” the man greeted respectfully.
“Go to Tianlan Star and find the Mad Sword Emperor of the Sky Sword Sect. Tell him that the blood food in the barren prison is ready for harvest and that he should come personally,” the old man instructed the man.
“Yes, Master!” the man replied respectfully.
A moment later, a blinding light erupted on the moon.
Anyone familiar with this light would know it indicated that the interstellar teleportation array had been activated.
…
In Li Hua Village,
At this moment, Li Hua Village had already been covered by formations.
However, anyone arriving at the two road entrances to Li Hua Village would see a massive stone door.
At the stone door, villagers guarded the entrance. To enter Li Hua Village, visitors simply needed to let the gatekeeper use a jade tablet to open the door in the formation.
Inside Li Hua Village,
Ye Jian was in seclusion at the focal point of the formation, practicing her cultivation.
She had already handled most of the family matters; the cultivation resources for the younger generation had been distributed, sufficient for them to practice for a long time.
Therefore, she needed to work hard at her cultivation and strive to become powerful as soon as possible.
“Eh?”
While Ye Jian was cultivating, she suddenly heard a cracking sound.
Her divine sense quickly swept over, and she discovered that most of the spiritual energy had been drained from the superior grade spirit stones maintaining the formation.
“Hiss? Does this formation consume superior grade spirit stones so quickly?” Ye Jian was stunned.
She had just placed ten thousand superior grade spirit stones last month, and now they were almost gone.
This was absurd.
She clearly remembered Hongxia saying that this formation could operate for a hundred years on just ten thousand superior grade spirit stones.
Why was it now that ten thousand superior grade spirit stones only lasted a little over a month?
“Hongxia…”
She promptly contacted Liu Hongxia and explained the situation.
“It’s impossible! My formation can’t be faulty. It’s just an imperial level formation; it shouldn’t absorb spirit stones this fast,” Liu Hongxia replied.
“I don’t know. I just placed ten thousand superior grade spirit stones last month, and now the energy is almost depleted,” Ye Jian was equally confused.
However, she did not doubt Liu Hongxia would deceive her since there was absolutely no need for that.
Liu Hongxia was a big shot about to reach the Heavenly Immortal realm; how could she deceive a little Divine Transformation girl like her for a tiny benefit?
“Check the formation’s condition to see if something has gone wrong,” Liu Hongxia instructed Ye Jian.
Hearing Liu Hongxia’s words, Ye Jian nodded.
“Okay, Hongxia, I will check it out.”
Soon, Ye Jian began inspecting the entire array disks.
Ye Jian’s divine sense quickly spread to the whole formation.
She carefully examined each part of the formation’s operation and nodes.
Before long, she discovered something unusual.
She found that a lot of the spiritual energy from the superior grade spirit stones was being siphoned by the formation, quickly flowing deep into the planet.
It was as if something underground was drawing in the spiritual energy.
“Hongxia…”
Ye Jian then relayed her findings to Liu Hongxia.
Upon hearing Ye Jian’s words, Liu Hongxia thought for a moment and said, “You once told me you were on a planet with no spiritual energy, right?”
“Yes,” Ye Jian nodded.
“Now you find the spiritual energy is being absorbed by the land, as if something underground is attracting it.
So if I’m not mistaken, your theory is probably correct; there is likely something underground that can absorb spiritual energy. It’s very possible that the reason your planet has no spiritual energy is due to the existence of that thing.”
Upon hearing Liu Hongxia’s words, Ye Jian’s eyes lit up.
“Hongxia, do you think it could be some treasure?”
In response, Liu Hongxia lightly said, “It could be a treasure, but it might not be. I know a place that experienced a situation similar to yours.
Although your side is just a planet without spiritual energy, that other side had an entire solar system lacking spiritual energy.
In the end, it seemed my Dad visited there, and then they had spiritual energy, so I suspect he took something from there.
Unfortunately, he is currently in seclusion, so I can’t contact him. Otherwise, I could ask him and find out.”
Hearing Liu Hongxia’s words, Ye Jian’s heart suddenly burned with excitement.
Something that could cause an entire planet to lack spiritual energy must be of an incredibly high grade.
“Hongxia, do you think it could be an immortal tool?” Ye Jian asked Liu Hongxia.
“It can’t be an immortal tool. Immortal tools gradually lose their spiritual energy once they enter the mortal realm, turning into ordinary spirit artifacts…” Liu Hongxia directly dismissed Ye Jian’s thought.
However, even though she denied it was an immortal tool, she couldn’t speculate on what it truly was.
“Hongxia, I want to check underground. I wonder if the defense talismans you gave me can withstand the pressure from the planet’s core?” Ye Jian asked Liu Hongxia.
Since there might be treasure underground, she needed to go take a look.
However, upon hearing Ye Jian’s words, Liu Hongxia said, “Hold on a minute. We can guess there’s something in the Abandoned Prison Star, but others might not be so clueless.
Over the years in the cultivation world, many people must have expressed interest in going to investigate.
That thing still exists, which means it isn’t something just anyone can take. There may be danger.”
After a pause, Liu Hongxia continued, “Here’s the plan: I will give you some more defensive treasures, and then you can check. If it’s too dangerous, don’t push yourself; just escape at once.”
With that, Liu Hongxia sent Ye Jian more trading opportunities and quickly initiated a trade.
In the next moment, Liu Hongxia traded over a dozen talismans and defensive treasures to Ye Jian.
“I just traded you several green defense talismans at the immortal level, two at the human immortal level, two at the Earth Immortal level, and two at the Heavenly Immortal level. If you encounter danger, you can activate the talismans to protect yourself.
Then there are several blue immortal level teleportation talismans. If the defensive talismans can’t protect you, activate the teleportation talismans, which can take you at least a hundred thousand kilometers away…
Besides that, there’s an immortal tool, a golden bell, which contains some spiritual energy. You can activate it with spiritual energy. It will automatically protect you, and you’ll need to return it once you’re done…”
“Hongxia, set a price for these things,” Ye Jian said, deeply moved.
She never expected Liu Hongxia to give her so many valuable items because she feared for her safety.
Liu Hongxia replied lightly, “No need. If you happen to obtain something you can’t use, just sell it directly to me, and I will definitely offer you a satisfying price…”
