Everyone set off once again, flying toward the northwest.
Evil spirits still appeared from time to time, and they were becoming more and more powerful.
Previously, evil spirits were usually of the Dao Body Stage, but now, they could occasionally see evil spirits of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
"Swoosh!" A pitch-black and profound sword light that was as fast as lightning instantly tore an eight-armed evil spirit into two halves.
An Lin was already very powerful now. Even evil spirits of the Spirit Nurturing Stage couldn't withstand a single strike from him.
Yin Yu truly believed An Lin now. However, she didn't understand. They were both of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage, so why was there such a huge disparity between them?
Moreover, she was a prodigy who possessed the direct bloodline of the Dragon Tribe!
Oh, wait, 'prodigy' couldn't be used to describe herself now …
Yin Yu pinched her small, delicate face, a look of dejection on her face.
"Big Brother An, look! That giant skull in front of us should be it!"
Xiao Chou's eyes burned like torches as he pointed ahead. There was a black skull of fifty to sixty feet in size there.
This skull was similar to a human skull. From the memory, it seemed to be the skull of a general of the Purple Star Ghost Army.
An Lin's eyes lit up slightly. He landed beside the skull and walked forty-nine steps to the west before stomping forcefully on the ground.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled, and a white spatial gate appeared before everyone.
Yin Yu looked at An Lin in disbelief. "You've been here before?"
An Lin didn't reply and walked through the gate first.
Yin Yu's voice faltered, and she followed behind him angrily.
The space around them warped, and a space rich in vital energy appeared before them.
A giant skeleton of several thousand feet in length lay silently on the ground.
Grass and flowers grew all around it. The combination of overflowing vitality and desolation gave off a unique sense of tranquility and beauty.
"This is … the skeleton of a winged dragon?" Yin Yu's beautiful eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly. She could no longer maintain her composure.
Every winged dragon had an extremely high status in the Dragon Tribe, and this winged dragon was clearly a top-tier powerful being that had fallen in the ancient battlefield.
An Lin walked to the side of the skeleton's head and squatted down. After taking a glance at it, a look of joy appeared on his face.
There were ancient vines that glowed with purple light at the bottom of the dragon's head.
This was the Ancient Purple Vine he was looking for.
The Ancient Purple Vine absorbed Ying Dragon's Yin Qi and usually grew at the bottom of Ying Dragon's head.
He didn't expect that after ten thousand years, the number of Ancient Purple Vines would increase by several times.
An Lin skillfully removed all of the ancient vines and placed them into his storage ring.
After that, he went to the Winged Dragon's spine and used his Qi to open a small hole. He extracted half a kilogram of blood with a hint of gold in it.
This Winged Dragon True Blood only existed within the spine, and because of its unfortunate nature, it could still exist even after tens of thousands of years.
"You … you are tarnishing the ancestors!"
When Yin Yu saw that An Lin didn't even spare the True Blood in Ying Long's body, she was so angry that she stomped her feet.
An Lin rolled his eyes at the silver fish. "Don't worry, I've used my vital energy to check. There's still one and a half kilograms of true blood in there."
As the most valuable part of the Dragon Race, True Blood of Winged Dragons was extremely precious.
As the Heavenly Dragon Maiden of the Dragon Tribe at the time, Shen Yin had only taken half a kilogram of true blood out of respect for her ancestors.
After hearing Yin Yu's words, An Lin thought about it for a moment and felt that this was indeed not the right thing to do.
He walked over to the spine and extracted half a kilogram of true blood.
Shen Yin was a member of the Dragon Tribe, so she was naturally respectful.
But I'm a human, so why should I be so respectful to a dragon?!
M-hm, one kilogram of true blood, one kilogram as backup …
Yin Yu's vision darkened as she watched An Lin extract another kilogram of true blood. Her chest rose and fell violently, clearly having been provoked again.
"If these bones were to fall into the hands of other tribes, I guarantee that not a single bone would be left. I'm already very respectful to your ancestors, do you understand? "An Lin lectured Yin Yu with a serious expression.
Yin Yu's face flushed red, and she was so angry that she couldn't utter a single word.
Everyone walked around the space and collected a few spirit rank herbs. There was nothing else of value, so they left the space.
"We've collected the Ancient Purple Vine and True Blood of Winged Dragons. It's time to look for the treasures in the sheepskin scroll." An Lin was completely relaxed as he spread open the sheepskin scroll.
Thus, everyone began to plunder from the nearest location.
They entered the blood pool and found the third-rank immortal fruit — Dark Blood Fruit.
They trampled over the Dead Demon Realm and found the Dead Realm Flower. They went to the Black Stone Forest and found the Vajra Soul.
After that, they obtained the Ethereal Spirit Bone, Demon Blood Ball, Ice Holy Lotus, and Ghost Crystal Armor.
Out of the nine locations where treasures were predicted to appear, seven of them had appeared, while two of them had nothing. An Lin cursed the so-called High Priest many times over.
Seeing An Lin's dissatisfied expression as he collected the treasures, Yin Yu felt a little short of breath again.
Next up was the last treasure marked on the sheepskin scroll. First-rank immortal material — Reincarnation Ginseng!
This thing was marked as the most dangerous treasure, so An Lin purposely left it for last.
The Reincarnation Ginseng was located in a relatively central area of the ancient battlefield. The space there was extremely unstable, and the ground was also severely cracked. Countless bottomless ravines covered the ground, as if they were giant abyssal mouths that could swallow all living beings.
"Reincarnation Ginseng can only grow this first-rank immortal material through the cycle of life and death.
"In that war ten thousand years ago, heaven and earth collapsed, and the Dragon Court was almost overturned. The number of powerful beings that died here exceeded millions. This is one of the conditions for the Reincarnation Ginseng to grow — death.
"Then where does the other condition for the Reincarnation Ginseng to grow, life, manifest itself?"
An Lin sat on Dabai's back and held the sheepskin scroll as he asked curiously.
Seeing that even An Lin didn't understand, Yin Yu immediately interjected, "You don't understand this, do you …"
Seeing that An Lin was looking at her with an inquisitive gaze, she instantly felt like she wasn't that stupid after all. She felt a little smug in her heart as she slowly said, "Life comes from the extremity of death, but what is born is resentment, hatred, and despair from not being able to enter the cycle of reincarnation. These negative emotions can also give birth to a type of life."
An Lin blinked. "You're saying … those evil ghosts and bone ghosts are a manifestation of life?"
Yin Yu nodded. "They can actually be considered living beings, but they're not recognized as living beings. They were abandoned by the Heavenly Dao when they were alive, so they can't enter the cycle of reincarnation after death. Hence, their resentment is boundless, and they exist in this world in another quantum form. "
"Quantum … quantum form?" An Lin's lips twitched. He seemed to have heard a strange term.
"Hmm … You don't understand the concept of quantum form?" The white-clothed young woman's eyes lit up, and she seemed to have a certain sense of superiority. "Let me tell you, this involves the development of microscopic particles, space-time, and the theory of cause and effect. If you don't understand, I can give you a book on quantum theory when I return to the Dragon Palace. I'll be the teacher, and you'll be my student …"
Yin Yu was in high spirits as if she had been injected with a stimulant. She talked incessantly to An Lin, as if she had successfully made a comeback from a completely useless situation. She was overjoyed.
An Lin was also astonished. The Dragon Palace has started researching this kind of thing? There are even books!?
He had to admit, he really wanted to go to the Dragon Palace to see what those books were about.
The group flew for a while longer, and they arrived at a place where black mist lingered.
"We're here, it's nearby!"
An Lin said as he gazed at the sheepskin scroll.
At this moment, another evil ghost pounced over. Then, it was smashed into pieces by Xiao Chou's staff.
Here, evil ghosts and bone ghosts that were pure resentment roamed the surroundings.
Their auras were all extremely powerful, and there were even quite a few whose strength rivaled that of Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators.
Wisps of black mist floated up from the deep ravines on the ground.
"Big Brother An, look over there, there's a black ball!" Xiao Chou spoke again.
Sure enough, there was a black ball standing silently a thousand meters away.
"Let's go and have a look!"
An Lin flew toward the black ball, his Evil-Slaying Sword tightly in his hand.
The group arrived in front of the black ball and discovered that it was perfectly round. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, and it was about thirty feet in diameter. Aside from this, there were no other special characteristics.
"Could the Reincarnation Ginseng be inside this ball?" An Lin asked.
Yin Yu also didn't know. She had never seen the Reincarnation Ginseng before. "How about we smash it open and see?"
This was a good suggestion. An Lin immediately got to work. He sent out Gundam One and Gundam Two, and they prepared to cut it open with precision.
Right at this moment, the ball seemed to have been stimulated, and it cracked open on its own.
