Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at Duanmuqing and Ji Changkong, who were chasing him. A boundless flame started to burn in his right eye. Finally, it turned into a purple light. With a 'pu' sound, a flaming cloud appeared and burned half the sky, blocking the two people behind him.
After the flaming cloud scattered, Xiao Chen could no longer be seen in the sky. Ji Changkong landed on the ground with a loud 'boom'. The footprint of Xiao Chen's footprints on his face had yet to disappear.
The few Martial Saints of the Ji Clan quickly rushed over. When they saw the ashen and furious Ji Changkong, they did not dare to say anything.
Ji Changkong said in an ice-cold voice, "Search the entire forest. If we cannot find Xiao Chen, I will not return to the south."
At the periphery of Savage Forest, Xiao Chen held a Qi Returning Pill in his mouth. He continuously used the Lightning Evasion and rushed towards the illusion formation. After a while, he finally arrived in front of everyone and entered.
After entering the illusion formation, Xiao Chen saw the familiar Zhuang River and the rocks by the shore. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He pushed off the ground and leaped onto the surface of the Zhuang River.
Xiao Chen circulated the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art and sped across the surface of the water. With a loud 'boom', he broke through the waterfall and arrived at the strange rock behind the waterfall. He immediately sat down cross-legged.
Qi Returning Pill, Blood Replenishing Pill, this type of fast recovery medicinal pill had significant side effects. If taken for a long period of time, it would leave behind a serious dependency.
Today, Xiao Chen had consumed more than ten Qi Returning Pills. At this moment, he did not dare to be careless. He circulated the Essence in his body, trying to force out the remnant medicinal energy in his body.
The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation circulated in his body over and over again. The remnant medicinal energy in his meridians was continuously washed away. After the Essence circulated for a great cycle, it returned to the Martial Spirit. The Blue Dragon Martial Spirit absorbed all the Essence.
Slowly, it sank into the clear water. "Hu!" A moment later, an even purer wave of Yuan Qi flowed from the Martial Spirit to all the major meridians in his body, then seeped into Xiao Chen's flesh and bones through the meridians.
Xiao Chen repeated this process for a total of eighty cycles of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. After that, a black viscous substance slowly flowed out of the countless pores in Xiao Chen's body. The medicinal dregs that had been lingering in his body for a long time were all forced out.
After the medicinal power was forced out, Xiao Chen only felt that his body was incomparably weak. Moreover, the black viscous substance on his skin was very uncomfortable.
Xiao Chen hurriedly jumped out of the waterfall. With a splash, he jumped directly into the turbulent Zhuang River. The black sticky substance on his body was immediately washed away by the river water.
Xiao Chen came out of the water and took a deep breath. He felt very refreshed. Although his body was still very weak, he was very spirited and full of energy.
Bang!
Xiao Chen's body leaped gently in the water like a flood dragon coming out of the water. He created a long splash as he landed firmly on the riverbank.
Xiao Chen took out a set of clean clothes from the Universe Ring and changed into them. He did not do anything else. He found a comfortable place and lay down to sleep.
Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east. The melodious chirping of birds in the forest woke Xiao Chen up. He opened his eyes reluctantly.
Xiao Chen slowly stood up and stretched. He felt very comfortable; his body and mind had returned to their peak state.
Smiling faintly, Xiao Chen took out all the Spatial Rings of the noble clans' disciples from the Universe Ring. Although he did not obtain the inheritance of the Sage or the Heavenly Emperor's Heavenly Flame in this trip to the underground palace, his harvest was not small.
First, Xiao Chen took out Duanmuqing's Spatial Ring and poured all the things in it on the ground. Immediately, a large pile of Spirit Stones, Battle Armor, Spirit Weapons, and Medicinal Pills fell to the ground.
Xiao Chen looked carefully and counted. There were more than a hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, twenty Medial Grade Spirit Stones, two Superior Grade Earth Ranked Battle Armor, two Earth Ranked Spirit Weapons, ten-odd Medicinal Pills above Rank 4, and finally, an ancient Martial Technique manual.
"It looks like the wealth of those Martial Sages has been divided among them. Otherwise, even if they are noble clans, they would not have so many treasures on them," Xiao Chen said softly.
Xiao Chen did not hesitate and searched for the Spatial Rings of the noble clans. With a 'hua la la la' sound, the ground was covered with Spirit Stones and Spirit Weapons.
"I have struck it rich this time. With so many Spirit Stones, Spirit Weapons, and Medicinal Pills, it will be sufficient for me to cultivate to Martial Saint," Xiao Chen was wild with joy. He had obtained all the gains of the noble clans in the underground palace.
The value of these things added together was equivalent to the wealth of half a noble clan. To anyone, this was a huge treasure.
Xiao Chen started to reorganize the items. He had obtained a total of three hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, eighty Medial Grade Spirit Stones, five Earth Ranked Spirit Weapons, three Superior Grade Earth Ranked Battle Armor, six ancient Martial Techniques, and countless Medicinal Pills.
"Dong!" Xiao Chen pushed aside a pile of Spirit Stones and a small, exquisite, silver warship appeared in Xiao Chen's vision.
"Damn! Someone really found an Ancient Era Secret Treasure in the underground palace, "Xiao Chen said in astonishment as he held the silver warship in his hand.
Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into the interior of the silver warship. Instantly, he felt like he had entered a huge world. However, this world was very damaged.
A piece was missing from a corner of the warship. The formations inside were not complete and were severely damaged. This caused the silver warship to be completely devoid of Spiritual Energy. Most people would not be able to discover that this was a Secret Treasure.
After withdrawing his Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen looked at the silver warship in his hand. He felt that it was a pity. After all, tens of thousands of years had passed. It was unavoidable for the Secret Treasure to be damaged.
Furthermore, the offensive formations in it were completely damaged. There was no possibility of repairing them. Even if they could repair them, they could only be used as a transportation tool.
However, Xiao Chen still decided to repair it. With his current strength, it would be impossible for him to refine such a Magic Treasure. Not to mention his cultivation realm, he would not be able to complete the task of finding the materials without a few years.
Now that there was a nearly complete Magic Treasure before him, it would be inexcusable if he did not make use of it. As for the offensive formations on it, he could wait until his strength increased before he could carve another one.
The most important thing was that this should be a Secret Treasure refined by a Sage. After tens of thousands of years, the Sage's imprint had already taken root in the interior of the silver warship. It was as firm as a boulder.
"From the looks of it, the Secret Treasure refined by an ancient Sage is a hundred percent certain to be a Magic Treasure from the Compendium of Cultivation," Xiao Chen muttered to himself. Could the Compendium of Cultivation be related to this world?
Xiao Chen shook his head and recollected his thoughts, no longer thinking about this question. Xiao Chen placed the Spirit Stones and Battle Armor on the ground into his Universe Ring. Then, he executed the Gravity Spell and soared into the air, heading for the mountain wall with the waterfall.
The wind howled on the mountain wall. The strange rocks were sharp and there was an old tree growing on the cliff. Xiao Chen looked up and saw an even taller mountain peak in front. Clouds shrouded the peak, making it look hazy and mysterious.
"It should be there," Xiao Chen said softly and continued flying upwards.
A biting cold wind blew past him. Xiao Chen's clothes fluttered and his long hair fluttered non-stop. The higher he went, the fiercer the cold wind became. It blew so hard that he could not open his eyes.
After a long time, Xiao Chen landed on the mountain peak with a 'hu' sound. If he stretched out his hand, he would be able to touch the white clouds. The surrounding Spiritual Energy was incomparably dense, giving him a faintly discernible sense of spirituality.
Xiao Chen found an empty space and took out the Inferior Grade Spirit Stones from his Universe Ring. He prepared to lay down a small Spirit Gathering Formation and gather the Spirituality of the silver warship.
Actually, if he used Medial Grade Spirit Stones to lay down the Spirit Gathering Formation, the effects would be more obvious. However, Xiao Chen could not bear to part with these Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
A Medial Grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to a hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. However, no one would be foolish enough to exchange for one. This was because Medial Grade Spirit Stones were too rare in the Great Qin Nation.
After a while, a small Spirit Gathering Formation appeared. Xiao Chen placed the silver warship in the center of the formation. Then, he slowly infused his Essence into it. A faint light flowed along the formation lines and started flowing slowly.
The dense Spiritual Energy in the surroundings poured in wildly. Within the formation lines, the surrounding Spiritual Energy was like a mist. After a while, it actually gathered into droplets of Spiritual Energy.
"Pu Ci!"
A resplendent pillar of light suddenly lit up in the center of the formation and rushed to the sky. The small silver warship quickly rose up from the pillar of light. The body of the warship flickered with two different lights.
Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense into the silver warship. The formation lines carved on the silver warship spun rapidly, continuously absorbing the horrifying Spiritual Energy contained in the pillar of light.
After half an hour, the Spirit Stones on the ground started to crack. Xiao Chen said in astonishment, "Not good! The amount of Spiritual Energy required by this silver warship is too horrifying. A small Spirit Gathering Formation would not be able to satisfy it."
This fellow's appetite is too big, Xiao Chen thought hatefully. The Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth driven by a hundred Spirit Stones could not even last for two hours. This completely exceeded his expectations.
Xiao Chen took out the Golden Lion King's Spirit Core from the Universe Ring. He looked at the silver warship in the sky hesitantly, feeling reluctant to part with it. This golden Spirit Core contained the Spiritual Energy that the Golden Lion King had absorbed for hundreds of years.
It was incomparably pure. No matter what attribute a cultivator had, they would be able to absorb it. If one placed it in the Spirit Gathering Formation, it would instantly raise the rank of the Spirit Gathering Formation to Medial Grade.
However, Xiao Chen was reluctant to part with it. He planned to keep it for when he advanced to Martial King. Martial King was a hurdle. If he could pass it, he would immediately stand at the peak of everyone. If he could not, he would only waste his life.
In the end, Xiao Chen put it away and took out the Medial Grade Spirit Stones. The value of this Medial Grade Spirit Stone was not inferior to the Spirit Core at all. Furthermore, it had great practical value. It was a hard currency everywhere. Xiao Chen placed it on the formation runes. His heart felt like it was bleeding.
Forty Medial Grade Spirit Stones used up close to half of Xiao Chen's collection before he finished laying the Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Formation. Xiao Chen formed a hand seal, and a strong wind blew. All the Spiritual Energy within a kilometer surged over in an endless stream.
"Di Da! Di Da! "
The Spiritual Energy turned into water droplets and fell from the mountain peak like rain. These were all the essence of Spiritual Energy. Xiao Chen did not want to waste it. He took out a spatial Magic Treasure jade bottle and placed it at the side. Then, he collected all the water droplets that fell from the sky.
The pillar of light in the center of the formation became even more resplendent. The silver warship started to give off a boundless radiance. Xiao Chen could clearly feel the Sage Daoist Charm in the warship slowly awakening.
