Chapter 2551: Chapter 2554: Power and Wealth Both Gained: The Greatest Beneficiary
What does the quantity of Spirit Stones in the Storage Ring mean?
It’s easy to understand with a comparison.
Generally, Martial Artists with the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Seventh Layer Hell Cultivation, at their peak may have around a million Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
Having tens of thousands of Upper-grade Spirit Stones is already affluent.
But Ling Xiao now possesses ten times, even a hundred times that amount.
He’s become a wealthy tycoon all of a sudden.
Originally, Ling Xiao was worried about needing a large amount of supplementary medicinal materials to refine Blood Spirit Pills and Thunder Flame Mango Pills.
He didn’t want to waste time gathering them and would need to buy them.
Some of these medicinal materials can only be bought with Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
He was worried he might not have enough Spirit Stones.
But now there’s nothing to worry about at all.
Handling the items from the Storage Ring, Ling Xiao didn’t take the ring with him but used Divine Fire to melt it down.
Hoping it could accompany its previous owner eternally.
After all, having received so much benefit from others, yet unable to repay anything, this could be considered a small compensation.
Leaving the place, he returned to his previous study room.
At this moment, Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang were there, cross-legged, cultivating.
Ling Xiao didn’t disturb them and collected the remaining Martial Arts Secret Books.
Whether they are cultivated or not isn’t significant; what’s important is these secret manuals can enable Yuhua Town to quickly rise, even surpass any Sect in Eight Immortals County City.
That’s the key.
"Ling Xiao!"
"Brother Ling Xiao!"
"Did you pick out all the secret manuals?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"Yes, selected already, but it’s a pity there is too much time, temporarily unable to comprehend them."
Lin Ruoxian replied.
"No worries, let’s get out of here first. The Bull God Labyrinth contest is likely nearing its end; indeed, there’s no time to cultivate here."
Ling Xiao plans to let Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang leave first while he searches for the Netherworld Yellow Springs Golden Crow’s Broken Soul alone.
But after going outside, the two women stubbornly refused.
They insisted on sharing the blessings and enduring the hardships together.
Ling Xiao didn’t have time to persuade them, so he directly took the corpse of the Purple Lightning Thunder Bull into the Mountain and River World, and then transformed it into the Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Beast Soul.
Embedding it onto the Bull God Divine Rank.
The Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Beast Soul ranks higher than the Nine Serpents General Beast Soul, reaching First Transformation Nine Times Life-taking!
Ling Xiao undoubtedly found it hard to use this Beast Soul skillfully, but fortunately, the Bull God Beast Soul held ground on the Divine Rank, enabling Ling Xiao to use the Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Beast Soul.
Though it’ll still be unable to exert its full power, it definitely won’t be weaker than the Beast Soul of the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Layer Hell.
Of course, the Steel-armored Bull Demon Beast Soul is no longer useful, Ling Xiao simply devoured it, making it a part of his own strength, which isn’t bad.
The special ability of the Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Beast Soul is called "Earthquake and Mountain Shaking."
This can directly make the ground tremble, even altering terrain; it’s a terrifying capability.
Whether in one-on-one situations or outnumbered conflicts, it’s very effective.
Though its lethality is insufficient, it can stun opponents.
Although the Divine Inscription of the Purple Lightning Thunder Bull has been taken away, this body was still repurposed by Ling Xiao, becoming his powerful support.
Just a pity there’s no energy left, cultivation levels ultimately cannot break through.
Despite this, Ling Xiao felt he should be considered the luckiest this time.
On the way to the suppressed site of the Nine Nether Huangquan Golden Crow’s Soul Fragments, he calculated this harvest.
Firstly, he acquired the Bull God Beast Soul, which is the greatest gain. The Bull God Beast Soul will not only make him incredibly strong in the future, but it can also strengthen the Beast Souls on the Bull God Divine Rank.
With energy from the Bull God Beast Soul infiltrating his cells, the potential amassed within him has once again significantly increased.
Whenever encountering intense battles, his cultivation level will escalate rapidly;
Secondly, he received the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree and Thunder Flame Mango Tree.
The Blood Spirit Fruit Tree, needless to say, when refined into Blood Spirit Pills, means having many life-preserving pills, also capable of fortifying the body.
The toughness of the body has no limit. Even though Ling Xiao knows his physical body is very strong, comparable to Immortal Spiritual Tools.
But as long as others are strong enough or possess Divine Spiritual Tools, they can still harm him.
Thus he needs to be even stronger.
As for the Thunder Flame Mango Tree, it can not only enhance the power of his Lightning Battle Form but also possibly evolve it into the Violent Thunder Battle Body;
Thirdly, the true inheritance of the Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor.
Whether it is the Soul Thunder Light Shield or Celestial Thunder Divine Guard, they are complete versions, capable of being cultivated to Transcendental Realm.
While what Lin Yuetian obtained as the so-called Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor’s inheritance isn’t the complete version, at most cultivated to Great Success and stopped there.
The current Soul Thunder Light Shield possesses Immortal Rank First Layer Heaven level.
The defensive power is obviously strong beyond measure, even surpassing top-level Lightning Battle Forms.
The Celestial Thunder Divine Guard needs no further statement.
Currently, it is the Immortal Rank Second Layer Heaven Secret Technique.
Once cultivated, it can condense the Celestial Thunder Divine Guard, currently Ling Xiao’s most formidable move.
At Small Success flame, it can have five-tenths of Ling Xiao’s attacking power, capable of condensing one Divine Guard!
Proficient flame is six-tenths of attacking power, capable of condensing two Celestial Thunder Divine Guards.
Great Success flame is seven-tenths of attacking power, capable of condensing four Celestial Thunder Divine Guards.
Perfection flame is eight-tenths of attacking power, capable of condensing eight Celestial Thunder Divine Guards.
At the Transcendental Realm, it becomes terrifying, possessing nine-tenths of attacking power, capable of condensing thirty-two Celestial Thunder Divine Guards.
Thirty-two!
Possesses nine-tenths of Ling Xiao’s own attacking power, how monstrous is that?
And one amongst the thirty-two Celestial Thunder Divine Guards can possess ten-tenths of Ling Xiao’s combat power!
That’s even more terrifying.
Of course, the Celestial Thunder Divine Guards cannot be equipped with Magical Treasures and must continuously drain Ling Xiao’s inner strength, so the more avatars released, the greater the consumption, Ling Xiao needs to find a balance in the future.
Aside from these three benefits, the abundance of Spirit Stones, along with the Nine Serpents General Beast Soul and Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Beast Soul’s possession, greatly aids Ling Xiao.
"In legend, the Netherworld Yellow Springs Golden Crow is a black sun on Xuanwu Continent!
The glow it emits feels cold, akin to the Underworld’s water.
Yet in reality, it isn’t cold.
Its burning capability equally matches the other nine Golden Crows.
It can also roast the earth, causing all plants to wither!"
This was prior information Lin Ruoxian had read; since they had idle time on their way, she recited it to Ling Xiao.
She wouldn’t want Ling Xiao foolishly stumbling into something without any defense.
"Don’t worry too much, the Nine Nether Huangquan Golden Crow suppressed within the maze is only a part of the Soul Fragments."
Ling Xiao chuckled lightly and said: "If there’s indeed danger, I will naturally give it up, but if because of fear I’m too scared to even peek, that would be a shame."
Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang were both silent.
No matter how, if there were true danger, they’d drag Ling Xiao away no matter what.
Because in their view, Ling Xiao’s life is the most important, everything else is just an illusion.
