Jiang Changkong couldn't pull out the middle-aged man's soul when he used the Soul-Controlling Art against him.
These Astral cultivators had some control over their souls.
Now that his strength had increased, it shouldn't be a problem to beat him half to death.
The old man looked at him and his body changed until it became transparent. An invisible wave of astral power pulled out an illusory Star Demon.
Soul!
More than one star body!
The old man was shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Changkong's strength to be more than this.
Jiang Changkong crushed the soul and searched through the spatial equipment.
"Soul Reaper, you actually know the lost Soul Reaper Art …"
The huge Star Demon screamed in fear, its body trembling.
Jiang Changkong pulled out the soul again and the second Astral Star Demon died.
He searched through the spatial equipment and found a large number of star crystals.
Although it couldn't compare to the people from the Immortal Palace, two Astral Star Demon added up was a lot.
There were also the other Star Embryos and Star Demon. They would be another source of income.
Jiang Changkong rushed into the mountain. Some of the Star Embryos and Star Demon died in the aftermath, while others were heavily injured.
He killed them all and took their star crystals.
After thinking for a bit, Jiang Changkong decided to take the instruments with him. Professor Yun and the rest were coming. If he kept these instruments, he could save some money.
After that, Jiang Changkong turned into a ball of holy light and found the old man. "You're the old man of the Jiang family?"
The old man cupped his hands. "Yes, thank you for saving my life. How should I address you?"
Jiang Changkong said indifferently, "I'm your neighbor, Jiang Changkong. Wasteland number 53 is now mine."
"So you're my neighbor. We should visit each other more often in the future." The old man was excited. "I'm Jiang Jiuqiao."
"Let's go. We'll talk about it later. Let me tell you first, my friend killed your second son."
Jiang Changkong told him what happened.
Jiang Jiuqiao's face was full of anger. "That unfilial son. I shouldn't have given birth to him."
Jiang Jiuqiao's accident was also due to his second son's efforts.
It was also because of this that he felt at ease to say it. The father was kind, the son was filial, and he would not cause trouble for himself by saving people.
Jiang Changkong said lightly, "You'd better go back to the Jiang Clan to take a look first. After that, come to my place. I have something to ask you. Also, Lin Nanfeng is now my man."
"Alright, I'll look for you as soon as I'm done with the Jiang Family."
Jiang Jiuqiao knew what he wanted to know. It was nothing more than research.
Watching Jiang Jiuqiao leave, Jiang Changkong returned to the palace. Lin Nanfeng had yet to settle his affairs.
Jiang Changkong had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and destroy the Star Demon.
"Move all these palaces and instruments back."
Jiang Changkong took the space equipment he had plundered and left first.
Lin Nanfeng could handle the rest of the trivial matters. Otherwise, what was the point of keeping him around?
After returning to the palace, Jiang Changkong began to count his harvest.
Rank 7 Star Crystal, Low Grade, 230,000 pieces.
Middle-rank, 140,000.
High-grade, eighty thousand.
Top-grade, 30,000.
The Rank 8 Star Crystals were actually more than the Immortal Palace's harvest. Low Grade 40,000, Mid Grade 20,000, Top Grade 10,000, Top Grade 5,000.
A hundred and thirteen pieces of Lower Grade Ninth Rank.
Not counting the Rank 9 Star Crystals, total essence, breath, and spirit: 21.7 million!
"This group of Star Demon is actually so rich."
Jiang Changkong was a little excited, but he felt relieved in the blink of an eye.
The two old Stellar-level Star Demon had been developing here for god knows how many years. It wouldn't make sense if they didn't have this bit of resources.
Even Lin Feng was a little too miserable. He didn't even accompany these Star Demon to carry their shoes.
This harvest was enough for three of his martial arts to reach the peak of the Astral Body. He still had 100,000 left.
And these Star Crystals were all handled. He really had to thank the Star Demon for knowing how to use Star Crystals and instruments.
Extracting essence, breath, and spirit to upgrade three martial arts.
White Cloud Nine Layer Sutra, Tyrant Blade, Advanced Star Array.
Majestic astral power fluctuated, and the Celestial Body began to transform. Mysterious patterns coiled around his body.
With the upgrade of the Advanced Battle Body Star Array, Jiang Changkong's Force Pattern Celestial Body became more complex.
Although he had just reached the peak, his defense and strength had greatly improved.
Although his defense and strength hadn't doubled, they had increased by several times.
White Cloud Body, White Cloud Transformation!
Tyrant Blade Celestial Body, invisible blade aura, injuring people from the inside out!
With all eight martial arts reaching the peak of the Astral Body, Jiang Changkong's strength took another big step forward.
Jiang Changkong: Peak of the Astral Body
Advanced Mid-Grade Martial Arts:
Three-foot Golden Body: Peak 1/43.2 million
Tai Chi Yin Yang Art: Peak 1/43.2 million
Tyrant Blade: Peak 1/43.2 million
Holy Sun Art: Peak 1/43.2 million
God-Controlling Art: Peak 1/43.2 million
Bright Moon Art: Peak 1/43.2 million
White Cloud Nine Layer Sutra: Peak 1/43.2 million
Advanced Mid-Grade Array:
Battle Body Star Array (Incomplete): Peak 1/43.2 million
Essence, breath, and spirit: 1138185.4
Seeing that each martial art required more than 40 million essence, breath, and spirit, Jiang Changkong didn't panic at all.
Two early-stage Star Body Star Demon provided 20 million essence, which was half of it.
He killed four of them and perfected one martial art. In this way, 32 early-stage Star Body Star Demon should be enough.
If he wanted to panic, he would have to wait until he reached the late-stage Star Body Realm.
The next time he faced an early-stage Star Body Star Demon, he could kill it directly.
Lin Nanfeng came back. He wrapped the palace in his astral power and flew back.
Jiang Changkong said grumpily, "Don't you have any spatial equipment?"
"I'm worried that I'll crush the instrument. There's important data in it," Lin Nanfeng explained.
He paused for a moment and said, "Congratulations, my lord. You've obtained a large Star Crystal vein."
Jiang Changkong was stunned. "Uh, what large Star Crystal vein?"
Lin Nanfeng was stunned. "The Star Body Star Demon has a large Star Crystal vein. You don't know?"
"Well, I was busy killing the Star Demon and counting the harvest, so I didn't pay much attention."
Jiang Changkong was a little embarrassed. "Let's go and take a look."
Lin Nanfeng put down the palace and went deep into the mountains with Jiang Changkong again.
When they came to the battlefield again, the mountain had collapsed and it was a mess.
Lin Nanfeng brought him to a collapsed place. The astral power shattered the rocks and soil, revealing a mine.
"It's here." Lin Nanfeng walked in first.
Jiang Changkong probed it with the Soul-Controlling Art. It really was a Star Crystal vein. However, most of it had been mined, and there wasn't much left.
There were at most a few thousand pieces left. They were of good quality, eighth-grade.
"You should've told me earlier next time." Jiang Changkong was a little dissatisfied.
Lin Nanfeng said aggrievedly, "You can't blame me. It's common sense. The territories occupied by the Star Demon all have Star Crystal veins. Without Star Crystal veins, the Star Demon would migrate. They would even prefer to wander around. "
"Okay, tell me where the ruins are." Jiang Changkong changed the topic.
"Look at his spatial equipment. There should be a golden stone that can sense the ruins."
Jiang Changkong took out the Star Demon's spatial equipment. There really was a golden stone with intertwined patterns inside.
He infused it with astral power. A special feeling welled up in his heart. There seemed to be something in front of him on the left, calling him forward.
"The other Star Demon doesn't have such a thing. Doesn't he have ruins?" Jiang Changkong frowned slightly.
Lin Nanfeng's body stiffened. "How many Star Demon did you kill?"
