Chapter 27 Spoils of War

  This is a dimly lit cave, high enough to be that high, after all, the height of Asura far exceeds that of normal humans.

  Entering the cave, Lu Yuan began to explore.

  The first time I beheaded a demon and eliminated evil, because my heart was completely immersed in swordsmanship, my heart had no joy or sorrow, so there wasn't much feeling.

  And now, after beheading the demons and monsters for the first time, they were searching for spoils of war, their spirits unknowingly became excited and thrilled.

  The cave looks empty with bare walls, as if there is nothing inside.

  But, unexpectedly, this Shura doesn't even have a single good item.

  Searching for spoils of war has its own secrets, I only learned about it when I was at Beifeng before, now it's finally being put to use. The underground demon likes to hide things under the ground, dig a hole then. My precious flying sword, Nourishing Me Sword, is far too valuable to be used for digging holes.

  He casually picked up a piece of sharp stone, poured his magical powers into it, and began digging into the ground.

  Huh?

  Ling stone! Lu Yuan looked at the small, slightly black square stone that had appeared before his eyes, and immediately judged that it was a ling stone.

  Judging from the density of the spiritual energy, it should be a low-grade spiritual stone. As for why it's slightly black, it's said that spiritual stones produced in the underground world will all have a slight black color, which is completely different from those produced on the surface, which are almost white.

  A spirit stone was dug out, and unexpectedly there were more than twenty of them.

  Made it!

  Lu Yuan immediately found himself earning money.

  Beifeng only produces ten low-grade spirit stones in a year, but this time, he suddenly earned more than twenty. This kind of demon-slaying and treasure-hunting is indeed the fastest way to obtain spirit stones, but it also comes with great risks. If you can't defeat the demons, then it's not about slaying demons, but being slain by them, which would be a tragedy.

  He carefully put these twenty-two low-grade spirit stones into his bag.

  Then, continue digging.

  After digging for a while, they finally dug up an iron fork and a hoe.

  This iron fork is not an ordinary iron fork, it's as black as coal, and should be made from the dark iron of the underworld. It looks like a weapon of the Asura, but unfortunately I use a sword, not an iron fork, so it's useless to me. I casually throw it aside and continue digging.

  After digging for a while, there were more and more strange things, such as unidentifiable fingernails, unidentifiable hair, and unidentifiable claws. It seemed that the Shura who died under his own sword was a collector. These trash would naturally be thrown away one by one.

  "What's this iron plate?"

  This iron slab, warm to the touch, was completely different from the coldness of ordinary iron. It was only about the size of a palm, and its surface was carved with all sorts of strange beasts. Each beast was extremely small, and their shapes were extremely bizarre, most of which I had never seen before. On the front side, there was a seal character.

  Is this... a spirit tablet?

  Between heaven and earth, there exists a thing called spiritual beast.

  Ling beasts are a general term for living things born naturally from the heaven and earth environment. For example, when clouds gather in the sky for a long time, they can give birth to a cloud-based ling beast. Similarly, a river that has been flowing for thousands of years without stopping can also give birth to a water-based ling beast. Flames that have been burning for thousands of years without extinguishing can also give birth to a fire-based ling beast.

  In the earliest times, when heaven and earth were first separated, spiritual beasts were most numerous, basically visible everywhere, and those spiritual beasts were often incredibly powerful. The source of these spiritual beasts was mostly born from the primordial chaos. Later on, although the postnatal environment could also give birth to many spiritual beasts, with the passage of time, spiritual beasts became fewer and fewer.

  It is said that in the era when heaven and earth first opened up, there was too much spiritual energy between them, and it only took a few years to give birth to a spiritual beast.

  However, as time has evolved to the present day, the difficulty of giving birth to a spiritual beast has become much greater, often taking thousands of years to give birth to just one.

  So, the spiritual beast became even more precious and rare, and its value skyrocketed.

  "Oh, I almost forgot to mention the role of spiritual beasts. Spiritual beasts play a significant role for cultivators."

  For example, the water-based spiritual beast is itself a collection of water-based essence. They only need to swallow a small amount of spiritual stone and can continuously spit out water-based yuan force for a considerable period of time. The water-based yuan force is also very pure. If the cultivator practices water-based skills, they can directly absorb this pure water-based yuan force, absorb it into their body, increase their magical power, and do not need to purify the heaven and earth's yuan energy themselves.

  It can be said that the water-based spiritual beast has a great benefit for the growth of the magical power of the water-based cultivator. The two basic aspects of the cultivator are the magical power and the technique, and the growth of the magical power is extremely important, so the water-based spiritual beast is very important for the water-based cultivator.

  In other words, the spiritual beasts of other systems are also very important for the cultivators of other systems.

  Its importance is extremely high.

  Spirit beasts are becoming increasingly scarce and important, so their prices are skyrocketing.

  It's just the North Peak of Mount Hua, and even someone like the Six Swords Immortal on the North Peak wouldn't have many spiritual beasts. As for the other nine elders, many of them probably don't even have a single spiritual beast in their hands. After all, the Huashan Sect is one of the five major sects in the Great Jin Dynasty, and this is the situation they're in.

  Now that the introduction of the spiritual beast is over, let's talk about the Lingpai. Cultivators all need spiritual beasts, but it's not convenient to always have them by their side, fearing they might escape or get hurt in battle and other factors. So many years ago, a powerful person created the Lingpai, which can seal the spiritual beast inside.

  Now, will there be a spiritual beast in the spoils of war's Lingpai? Lu Yuan's mood also became tense.

  "All laws return to one, seal the spirit and prohibit, seal the spirit card, enter." Any seal the spirit card is such an entry incantation, once the incantation is recited, the spirit will enter the world in the seal the spirit card. Of course, these were heard at the North Peak of Huashan Xianmen, really trying it out for myself for the first time.

  After finishing the spell, it was just an instant, and his spirit suddenly became dizzy, and he entered a green grassland. This is the world in the seal of the soul. Lu Yuan looked around and found that on the lawn not far from him, there were three snow-white rabbits. Snow-white rabbits?

  Lu Yuan immediately went to probe into the past.

  This probe is really out of control.

  It suddenly turned out that these three snow-white rabbits were actually from the Cloud Clan, which means to say, these three snow-white rabbits were the Cloud Clan's Spirit Beast, the Cloud Rabbit.

  Cloud System Spirit Beast: Cloud Rabbit!

  Cloud System Spirit Beast Cloud Rabbit!!

  Cloud System Spirit Beast Cloud Rabbit!!!!!

  I didn't misread it myself.

  I cultivate the Yun system's Yun Long Xin Fa, which requires a Yun system spiritual beast. Once I possess a Yun system spiritual beast, it can continuously provide me with Yun system yuanqi, allowing my magical powers to grow extremely quickly. It's like dry grass encountering sweet rain; with these three Yun system spiritual rabbits, my cultivation speed will increase greatly.

  This time, I really made a fortune!

  Nor did he know where this Asura got the three Cloud System Spirit Beasts, the Sealing Spirit Cards were already quite valuable, but the value of the Cloud System Spirit Beasts was even higher than that of the Sealing Spirit Cards.

  But little did he know, this Asura had obtained three spiritual beasts due to a coincidence of fate. Knowing that the three spiritual beasts were too precious, he was afraid that the news would leak out and therefore escaped from the underground world. He thought that after escaping from the underground world, as long as he didn't provoke the Five Great Sects or the Xianmen, he would naturally be safe. Who would have thought that he would fall into the hands of Lu Yuan, a beginner in slaying demons and evil spirits?

  This is a great tragedy.

  But Lu Yuan, this time made a big profit, that Jiro's adventure in the underground was transformed into Lu Yuan's body.

  ——————

  Lu Yuan sat down with his legs crossed, at this moment, he had already established a connection with the three cloud system spirit beasts in the seal spirit plate, Yun Tu. As soon as the connection was made, he felt an endless supply of pure and unparalleled cloud system yuanqi pouring into his body from the seal spirit plate. Roughly estimating, with the provision of cloud system yuanqi at this rate, his cultivation speed could basically increase to twice its original speed.

  Twice as much is already terrifying, after all, in the cultivation world, it's extremely difficult to increase one's cultivation speed.

  It has increased by twice as much all at once, isn't it frightening?

  This trip is really profitable!

  Of course, I also know that now it's just because my shallow power is still shallow, so this amount can make my law enforcement training speed doubled. Once the law enforcement is higher, the provision of this amount of yuan and yuan gas can make my law enforcement training speed reduced.

  After all, the amount of cloud-based yuanqi provided by the three cloud-based spiritual beasts is fixed and unchanging.

  At this moment, Lu Yuan felt extremely pleased. The Sealing Spirit Tablet was constantly absorbing the pure and unparalleled Cloud System Primordial Qi, which entered his body, making him feel very comfortable. His magical powers were constantly surging, and looking at the twenty-two spirit stones in his spoils of war, he wondered if he should also try to break through to the next realm. After all, he was already at the peak of the fifth stage of Qi Refining.

  Twenty-two spirit stones, all taken out, were sealed in the Ling Array to seal the spiritual energy inside. Then, the twenty-two low-grade spirit stones were crushed, and instantly, twenty-two strands of pure spiritual energy overflowed. Adding the cloud-based yuanqi transmitted from the Lingpai, the two energies worked together, making me feel that my own magical powers were stirring restlessly.

  In itself, its own Fa power has reached the peak of the Small Heavenly Circuit, and in the Twelve Great Heavenly Circuits and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, it circulates back and forth without beginning or end.

  At this time, under the influence of these two forces, I vaguely feel that my own magical powers have begun to change. The cloud system is still the cloud system, and the original magical powers were already quite rich, but now with the pressure from the two forces, the meridians are just so big, causing the magical powers to continuously condense and refine again.

  Goodbye.

  Bang!

  This sound was not from the outside, but from within his own body. Lu Yuan had already sensed that his surrounding aura had undergone a qualitative change in that instant, and this qualitative change was thorough and profound, much stronger and more condensed than his original aura.

  This is the formation of an aura through qigong practice.

  "Oh, unexpectedly, I've reached the stage of Qi Condensation. Not bad, Lu Yuan thought to himself indifferently."

  If this matter were to be known by Bi Xuchen and Bi Yiyu, the two would probably cry their eyes out. No matter how hard they cultivate, it's likely that in this lifetime, they won't be able to break through the stage of forming a spiritual aura. But Lu Yuan broke through so easily, which makes one want to cry even more.

  Those who ranked third and fourth among the top ten true disciples of Beifeng, they probably also shed tears. They were stuck in the fifth layer of the small Zhou Tian for a long time and couldn't break through to the sixth layer to practice Qi into a halo. If people knew that Lu Yuan broke through the sixth layer so easily, Ling Yu Zhu, who ranked third among the top ten true disciples, would probably be speechless with tears streaming down her face.

  Lu Yuan stretched and said, "Alright, let's call it a day."

  When I walked out of the cave, the sun was shining brightly.

  Lu Yuan's mood is also quite good, just like the current sunny weather, very bright and clear.
