After a month, the two sides didn't fight after all.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect paid a hefty price, including two first-grade flying swords and nearly a thousand Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires. They also agreed to only practice within eight hundred miles of the west side of White Bone Peak and didn't dare to go against the Four Divine Sect anymore. That was why the Four Divine Sect didn't pursue the matter further.
Qin Di felt that the real reason was that the Four Sacred Sect didn't have enough disciples to occupy the East, West, and West Peaks at the same time. Instead of driving away the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and having to face an even more powerful enemy sect, it would be better to keep the Ten Thousand Sword Sect as a barrier for the Cloud Dream Swamp. After all, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect wasn't that much of a threat and their forces were still under control.
Iron Void Continent took out half of the flying swords and Spirit Fires and wanted to give them to Qin Di, but Qin Di rejected him.
He didn't care for such low-level Spirit Treasures. As for Spirit Fires, he didn't lack them and had collected quite a lot from the Sacred Fire Lake.
He cultivated beside the Sacred Fire Lake for two years and asked the Ancestral Patriarchs about the places to go further up the Tongtian River.
Iron Void Continent gave him a simple map and said, "This is the information we collected. It's mainly about the nearby areas. We can only go as far as the Cloud Dream Marsh. We don't know anything further."
Qin Di took the map and left this place with Feng Er. They rode the white tiger and headed west.
After more than a month, Feng Er got tired of the scenery and went to the grotto-heaven to chat with Shi Babao.
Three months later, Qin Di arrived at a place called "Arrow Mountain". The top of the mountain was bare of white rocks, but there was a ten-zhang wide hole that ran diagonally through the mountain, as if it had been pierced by an arrow. Thus, the locals called it "Arrow Cave".
Beside the Arrow Cave, someone cut open the mountain and built a sect named "Godly Arrow Sect".
The Godly Arrow Sect wasn't small. Through the little peach tree's divine sense scan, Qin Di knew that there were three Nascent Soul Perfected Cultivators in the upper echelons, more than ten Golden Core Perfected Cultivators in the middle, more than a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and thousands of Qi Refinement Cultivators.
At the foot of the Arrow Mountain were two large wood veins and one earth vein. Therefore, it was rich in Spirit Qi. Many trees grew around the mountain, most of which were Golden Nanmu. Some of the Gold-Rimmed Nanmu trees have been growing for many years. After they died, they fell down and rolled into the river at the foot of the mountain and were buried at the bottom of the water. After a long time, they became gloomy wood, also known as ebony.
When Qin Di arrived, he saw many Qi Refinement Cultivators digging in the dry riverbed.
He went over to take a look, and found that some of the sunken wood was exactly the same material as the six ebony arrows he used, and could not help but be amazed.
He took out the third level ebony arrow of the highest grade and put it in his sleeve. "Ah 'Jian, take a closer look. Don't you find this place familiar? Can arrows made from these gloomy wood reach your level? "
After a while, a voice came from the ebony arrow. "Master, you guessed right. I feel a sense of familiarity with this place. It's as if I smell the air here and I've seen the rivers and mountains here before. I suspect I grew up here a long, long time ago. "
Qin Di was a little shocked because the ebony arrow was not like other spiritual treasures. It was more difficult to upgrade it, and it could not be roasted by celestial fire. It could only be slowly upgraded by the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi of the Purple Kingdom. It would take thousands of years to upgrade it. In other words, the grade of a spiritual treasure like the ebony arrow was almost entirely determined by the quality of the spiritual materials. If one could find ebony of a higher grade, it was possible to make ebony arrows of a higher grade.
Therefore, when Qin Di saw the ebony buried in the riverbed, he couldn't help but be tempted.
From afar, he watched as the Aura Refining disciples dug out the ebony and each and every one of them shouted and shouted in excitement. Thereupon, he also walked over to take a closer look.
He was not the only Perfected Cultivator watching, and there were many people talking about it.
"This piece of ebony is too good! It has a diameter of four feet, the outside is pure black, but the inside is golden yellow. Using this kind of ebony to make an arrow can at least reach the standard of a seventh grade spiritual arrow. "
"The kid who dug out this piece of ebony is going to be rich! This ebony is worth at least ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, or one hundred thousand sect points! "
"Wow, this wood is too valuable! My heart is itching just looking at it. Brother, can I ask, is it only the disciples of the Godly Arrow Sect who can dig it? Can we outsiders do it? "
"Hehe, where did you come from? Quickly go to the side of the arrow hole and take a look. There is a stone tablet there. The stone tablet says that no matter who you are, you can go down the river to dig. If you dig out a high-grade ebony, you need to hand over seventy percent of the spiritual materials, or convert them into spirit stones or secular world gold and silver to get the remaining thirty percent as a reward. "
"You need to hand over seventy percent? That's even more than renting a spiritual field? Isn't the Godly Arrow Sect too stingy? "
"Hmph! What do you know, kid? This is a business without any capital. If you dig it out, it will be a big harvest! The Godly Arrow Sect occupies this place, and they are counting on this ebony to make godly arrows! How can they let you take the biggest share? "
Qin Di listened for a while, and then walked towards the arrow hole on the mountain.
Sure enough, he saw a stone tablet next to the arrow hole. On it was written: "Gong Gong touched the sky to mend Nuwa, and Hou Yi shot the sun to destroy nine birds. It is said that in the past, Hou Yi shot the sun ten times in a row, and shot down nine golden birds. The tenth arrow fell from the sky, pierced through the arrow mountain, and left the arrow hole. Its soul did not disperse, and its essence did not vanish. Its soul existed forever, and turned into ebony, which can be used to make arrows. Today, the Godly Arrow Sect has announced that anyone who can dig out a high-grade ebony can take thirty percent of it, and can join our sect and become a disciple of the Godly Arrow Sect. "
Qin Di was very surprised. Here, he saw familiar names again. Gong Gong hit the mountain, Nuwa patched the sky, and Hou Yi shot the sun. This made him wonder if the world under his feet was the ancient earth? Or was it a very similar parallel space?
This world was too wonderful. Could it be that all of the prehistoric worlds were just a mirror, leaving behind the images and footprints of the great gods of the heavens?
He didn't understand, so he didn't think too much.
Once again coming to the foot of the mountain, he urged the little peach tree to search for the buried ebony.
Unexpectedly, this request was refused by the little peach tree.
"I only have a strong reaction to objects with spiritual energy. The ebony is buried at the bottom of the water, without a trace or shadow. Its vitality is cut off, just like stone or soil. Only after digging it out will it absorb Yang energy, and revive from the dead. So I can't see the buried ebony! "
Qin Di could only turn his head, and activate the third grade ebony arrow: "Ah Jian, I can only rely on you now. Use your heart's reaction to see if there is any high-grade ebony buried underground. "
The ebony arrow replied: "Master, I do have some feeling, just like my family members are buried underground."
"Very well, then we'll walk around nearby. You just need to tell me where there are high-grade spiritual materials that can be made into third grade spiritual treasures like yours, or higher grade spiritual treasures, and how deep these spiritual materials are buried underground. Just know these. "
So, Qin Di started to walk by the river, following the direction of the river, and continuously searching downstream.
In the beginning, he could still hear the ebony arrow's report: "There is a piece of ninth grade ebony here, it can be made into a ninth grade spiritual arrow. There is an eighth grade spiritual wood here, it can be made into an eighth grade spiritual arrow. "
Who knew that later, the more he went downstream, the lower the grade of the ebony he encountered.
He knew that the direction was wrong, so he turned around and walked upstream.
He didn't limit his search to the riverside, because after tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, the world had changed into mulberry fields. Where there was originally a river, now it could become a forest.
He looked around unhurriedly. As he walked, he suddenly heard the ebony arrow's voice. "Two thousand feet below, there's a second-stage Spirit Immortal level ebony. With it as a material, it can be made into a second-stage spirit treasure."
Qin Di's heart stirred, and he hurriedly made a mark on it.
He didn't start digging, because it was buried two thousand feet underground, it couldn't be dug out in a short time.
Qin Di continued to search, and along the way, he encountered several pieces of third and fourth grade Spirit Immortal level ebony, which he made a mark on.
He knew that even Heaven Immortal level trees had a limited lifespan, let alone Spirit Immortal level trees. These trees would fall to the ground when their lifespans ended, and after a long time, they would become ebony when buried underground. There were also some trees that fell before their lifespans ended, and after being buried underground for many years, after turning into ebony, they absorbed the Yin energy underground, and instead brewed vitality.
