Chapter 511: Chapter 500: Cultivators Exist (Two-in-One)
Xu Lingjun’s expression remained unchanged.
Yet in his heart, waves of shock were surging.
Spirit Stone?!
Others might not know what a Spirit Stone is... but coming from another world, even though he had never seen the physical object, could he still be unfamiliar with this name?
So the Blizzard Empire came for the Spirit Stones?
Before Han Yun City could speak, Xu Lingjun immediately interjected, "Do you have such so-called Spirit Stones that you can show me?"
The Ancient Tree has survived for a thousand years, and even though Xu Lingjun tried hard to appear nonchalant, how could he hide it from her eyes?
She asked, "You know about the Spirit Stones?"
"I’ve heard of them, but I don’t know if they’re the same as what I know."
"This kind of stone is very precious, containing a high purity of Spiritual Qi, far surpassing the Spiritual Qi in the air..."
As she spoke, a crack slowly appeared in the center of the Ancient Tree.
Inside, a stone embedded in it was revealed.
It was called a stone, but in fact, it was dazzlingly colorful, and although it wasn’t as crystal clear as a crystal, there seemed to be liquid flowing faintly inside. Even an outsider could tell that this thing must be extremely valuable.
Especially with its appearance.
A sudden shock appeared in Xu Lingjun’s eyes...
The Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique within him suddenly started to operate frantically.
Having reached the Profound Realm, the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique could absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the body.
This was the reason why Xu Lingjun’s power could increase to such a degree in such a short time.
But the cultivation technique had been operating automatically to absorb, never as it did now...
Xu Lingjun could even feel the desire of the cultivation technique.
A dead cultivation technique now had a living desire.
Even though Xu Lingjun was far from the Spirit Stone at this time...
Just its faint scattering, under the crazy absorption of the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique...
Even from a great distance, he could feel a completely different kind of Spiritual Qi than Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi entering his body, being ground into Blood Qi, and finally becoming part of the True Qi.
Feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Although his strength had not greatly increased, just this tiny sliver of True Qi...
Made Xu Lingjun feel like Sun Wukong being freed from the Five Elements Mountain after five hundred years buried under it.
Feeling like a gentle breeze had brushed his cheek, a sensation beyond words.
Get it!
He must get it!
A sudden impulse surged in Xu Lingjun’s heart, unprecedented, and not even exaggerated to say that only when he first held Wang Qingya wholly in his arms, intending to completely possess her, did he feel such intense emotions.
At this moment...
What damn Grandmaster, even if a Creation Grandmaster appeared and offered to exhaust all his power to help Xu Lingjun break through the Grandmaster Realm, Xu Lingjun wouldn’t consider it.
Xu Lingjun asked, "How many of these Spirit Stones do you have?"
"Not many, but not too few either!"
The Ancient Tree said, "These stones are miraculous, embedding them into my body greatly enhances my sensing capabilities, allowing me to control all the flora within the Secret Realm."
She explained, "I cannot move, and I survived the Spiritual Qi mutation tribulation due to this reason... But because of this, I have the ability to see desired information through surrounding plants. Normally, I can only see less than one-third of the Secret Realm’s range, but with the amplification of these Spirit Stones, I can see everything."
"So upon discovering these Spirit Stones, I immediately ordered my subordinate Demon Beasts to search for the whereabouts of these Spirit Stones with all their might..."
The Ancient Tree said, "I am almost sure that the existence of Blue Star and these Spirit Stones have a great connection, possibly even these Spirit Stones protect Blue Star."
"So the Blizzard Empire colluding with the Mysterious races of the heavens is actually to obtain these Spirit Stones..."
Han Yun City had just spoken halfway when Xu Lingjun straightforwardly said, "How many of these Spirit Stones do you have exactly, I want them all, I’ll resolve your crisis for you, what do you say?"
Han Yun City was shocked, looking at Xu Lingjun, obviously not expecting him to take on so much.
The Ancient Tree fixed her gaze on Xu Lingjun for a while.
Said, "You know how to use these Spirit Stones, don’t you?"
"I don’t know yet, but I’m sure, if mankind’s Martial Tao is to progress, it might need the help of these Spirit Stones."
"Giving them all is impossible, but we can share!"
The Ancient Tree said, "As I mentioned before, there’s no deep hatred between humans and Demon Beasts. It can be confirmed that these Spirit Stones can only be produced within the Secret Realm, meaning they are only on our land. I can negotiate with my family to allow you to enter the Secret Realm to mine these Spirit Stones without harming the environment, but that’s all."
"That’s acceptable, but the Spirit Stones you currently have on hand, I want them all."
Xu Lingjun said, "As long as you hand over all these Spirit Stones to me, I can guarantee... to resolve the Secret Realm crisis within three months!"
Han Yun City was speechless, "Old Xu, don’t brag so big."
Xu Lingjun glanced at Han Yun City and said, "Were it not for considering the bigger picture, I could destroy the Chi Yu mysterious clan well within a year. It’s just dealing with an army, three months is already more than enough."
