Seeing that the trouble in front of him was over, Charcoal jumped down the gravel slope without permission. He ran to the deep pit and jumped in.
This time, Miao Yi didn't stop him. He knew what Charcoal was doing. This gluttonous guy must be thinking about the nine people's Resentful Spirit Orbs.
He was lucky this time. Charcoal found four Resentful Spirit Orbs that weren't burned. Then, he saw Miao Yi jump down to collect the nine people's belongings.
After silencing Duke Wang, Miao Yi was relieved. He wasn't in a hurry to continue his journey.
He stayed in the deep pit and organized the belongings of these people, including Duke Wang and the Tranquil Lake Goddess. To Miao Yi, there wasn't anything valuable. There were no Orbs of Will, nor were there any Basic Immortal Pills. Other than Duke Wang's armor, there wasn't anything that caught Miao Yi's eye.
However, he did collect quite a few Resentful Spirit Orbs, Fiend Spirit Orbs, Dead Spirit Orbs, and Killing Spirit Orbs. Miao Yi threw a few of the last three to Charcoal to try. Charcoal really didn't have any inhibitions. He rolled up his tongue and swallowed them. He wasn't afraid of getting sick. After he finished eating, he stared at the ones in Miao Yi's hands.
Miao Yi wanted to throw them to Charcoal as well, but he felt that these things might be useful. He took out the bronze mirror and summoned the Black King's subordinates who were trapped inside.
As soon as the person appeared, he saw Duke Wang's armor and weapons on the ground. He was shocked and looked at Miao Yi in fear. He asked, "You killed our Fort Master?"
Miao Yi nodded. "He was the one who came looking for death. Do you think I should let him go? Duke Wang is dead. Are you willing to surrender? "
'Do I have a choice?' The person sighed. He didn't expect Duke Wang to be dead. He smiled bitterly. "I am willing to surrender!"
Miao Yi asked, "What's your name?"
The person replied listlessly, "My name is Huan Da."
"Resentful Attainment …" Miao Yi pondered over the name for a moment, then grabbed a handful of spiritual beads of various colors and asked, "Let me ask you. Aside from helping your cultivation, do these Resentful Spirit Beads and the like have any other uses?"
Huan Da sighed. "Milord, of course they are used to replenish the energy in the transcendent artifacts. This place was not like the outside world. There were no conditions or resources to refine artifacts here. The Dharma artifacts were left behind after the intruders were killed. Ever since the Heavenly Court sealed this place, the source of Dharma artifacts had been cut off. In addition, the Heavenly Court had wiped them out twice. There weren't many magic tools left in the Ancient Desolate Land. Similarly, the source of Core Formation to replenish the magic tools was cut off, so they could only use Spiritual Beads as energy. But relatively speaking, using Spiritual Beads had its advantages. My Lord has fought with us before, so I'm sure you know that normal direct attacks can't kill us. "
Miao Yi was taken aback for a moment. He raised the spiritual orbs in his hand and asked cautiously, "From what you're saying, could it be that I can only kill you by using these spiritual orbs?"
Yuan Da shook his head. "Not all Spirit Beads have this effect. For example, the Resentment Spirit Bead has no effect on us Resentment Spirit Bodies. The four types of Spirit Beads have a restraining effect on each other. Once a different Spirit Bead weapon is used to injure us, it's like mixing dirty water into clear water. It will cause quite a bit of damage to us. If our bodies want to recover, we must first get rid of the impurities. Otherwise, we won't be able to recover. If a Spirit Bead weapon that restrains us hits our vital parts, it'll be the same as you humans getting hit in your vital parts. We'll also die. "
Miao Yi suddenly understood. He nodded his head and said, "I see!"
Yuan Da added, "Spirit Bead weapons are more harmful to other cultivators."
Miao Yi nodded his head to show that he understood. This was natural. If a weapon was mixed with the power of Spirit Beads. Once injured, the consequences of the evil aura entering the body could be imagined. The effect would probably be similar to the Blood Fiend aura.
Thinking of this, Miao Yi grabbed the Inversed-Scales Spear and shook it in the air. A hazy Blood Fiend aura immediately appeared on the body of the spear. He pointed at Yuan Da and asked, "Can the Blood Fiend aura in my spear hurt you?"
Yuan Da was so shocked that he subconsciously took a step back. He didn't expect Miao Yi to have such a thing in his spear. He nodded and said, "Of course it can. But I'm afraid it won't have any effect on a Tormented Spirit Body."
Miao Yi understood. This Blood Fiend aura was only formed from the lotus core in the Blood Core. The Blood Core's Blood Core's Blood Core was naturally not as dense as the evil aura of an Evil Spirit Body that had already cultivated to perfection. Not to mention the side branch of the Blood Fiend aura, it naturally couldn't suppress the pure Blood Fiend aura of a Tormented Spirit Body.
Looking at the Four-Colored Spirit Bead in his palm, Miao Yi felt it was a pity. This thing couldn't be controlled directly with transcendence arts. Otherwise, he could just put it into the Inversed-Scales Spear and use it. This was because his Inversed-Scales Spear already had five spaces that Yao Ruoxian had refined to control the Five Extremities Crystal. The armor he wore also had the same reserved space.
Of course, it wasn't completely useless. Other transcendent artifacts could devour the energy of Spirit Beads. Naturally, his Inversed-Scales Spear could do the same. However, the effect was probably no different from the Blood Fiend aura in the spear. It could also only deal with three types of Evil Spirit Bodies, so there was no need to change it.
However, there was one thing he could try. He put away the Inversed-Scales Spear and waved his hand. Six Meteor Arrows lined up and floated in front of him.
Why were there six Meteor Arrows? Naturally, it was because he had two Transcendence Bows. Each Transcendence Bow was equipped with three arrows. Naturally, there were six Meteor Arrows. If he wasn't worried about being found out that he had too many Transcendence Bows on him, let alone two, he could even have ten thousand Transcendence Bows.
Standing respectfully to the side, Huan Da saw these six Meteor Arrows, and his expression twitched violently. He could roughly guess what Miao Yi wanted to do.
"Coincidentally, I've used this Meteor Arrow a few times, and it just so happens that I need to replenish its energy. It shouldn't be a problem to replenish it with Spirit Beads, right?" Miao Yi glanced at Huan Da and asked.
Huan Da nodded with a stiff expression. "Of course it's not a problem. With this, Milord's Transcendence Bow's destructive power will definitely be stronger."
"I was thinking the same thing," Miao Yi replied. He picked a Spirit Bead of a higher grade and grabbed a Meteor Arrow. Invoking his arts, he opened the energy replenishment port and placed the Spirit Bead inside, allowing the Meteor Arrow to devour and replenish its energy.
He picked four types of Spirit Beads to replenish the energy of four Meteor Arrows. As for the remaining two Meteor Arrows, he randomly picked two types of Spirit Beads to replenish their energy.
After he was done, Miao Yi smiled in relief. "This is great. No matter what kind of Evil Spirit I encounter, my Transcendence Bow will be able to deal with it."
He tilted his head and looked at the eager Charcoal. He thought to himself, 'I can't let him eat to his heart's content anymore. If I can leave the Ancient Wastelands, I have to get more Spirit Beads. If anyone dares to be arrogant later on, I'll let them taste one of my arrows.'
"Yes!" Huan Da laughed dryly, but he felt a chill in his heart. With the power of this Meteor Arrow, coupled with the four types of Spirit Beads, it wasn't hard to imagine the consequences once he was injured.
Putting away the five arrows, Miao Yi grabbed a Transcendence Bow and placed a Spirit Slaying Arrow on the bowstring. He suddenly pulled the bowstring. As the treasured light flowed, the body of the arrow was bursting with a bloody murderous aura. He turned around and aimed the tip of the arrow at Huan Da. Huan Da was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back and said in horror, "My lord …"
Miao Yi chuckled. Seeing how terrified Huan Da was, he assumed that Huan Da wasn't lying. He slowly pulled the bowstring and the treasured light faded away. The bloody murderous aura on the arrow also slowly dissipated. He couldn't help but click his tongue. "If I encounter someone who doesn't know what's good for him, I must test its power." He casually put the weapon away and didn't scare anyone anymore.
Huan Da, who was so scared that his scalp went numb, let out a heavy sigh of relief and said, "My lord is right. If I encounter someone who doesn't know what's good for him, I must teach him a lesson."
"Harrumph!" Charcoal sneezed and said in disdain, "He has Xu Tangran's strength of character!"
Huan Da was stunned. He didn't know who Xu Tangran was.
Miao Yi cast a sidelong glance at Charcoal. He knew that Charcoal was calling Huan Da a bootlicker. Xu Tangran was really a bootlicker. As long as it was someone close to Miao Yi, he wouldn't let it go, including Miao Yi's mount. When he saw Charcoal, he would always greet him with cupped fists and call him 'Brother Charcoal'. After knowing that Charcoal liked to eat fresh fish and prawns, he would never come empty-handed.
Miao Yi naturally didn't need to explain who Xu Tangran was. "Alright, let's get down to business. There's something I haven't asked you in detail before. Where is the specific location of the dragon's cave and phoenix's nest?"
Huan Da cupped his fists and replied, "I have never been to the dragon's cave and phoenix's nest. I don't know the specific location either. I only know the general direction. It's the direction that Lord Xiang pointed out before."
Miao Yi, "You should know where it is located, right?"
Huan Da nodded. "I know. The dragon's cave is located in the 'Eternal Heaven Valley', and the phoenix's nest is located in the 'Ancient Ice Fields'."
"Eternal Heaven Valley … Ancient Ice Fields …" Miao Yi muttered and memorized the names.
Huan Da couldn't help but feel strange. He tried to ask, "Lord, why are you going to the dragon's cave and phoenix's nest?" He could already tell that Miao Yi wasn't someone from the Ancient Desolate Land. He was obviously a cultivator from the outside world. He was a little tempted by Miao Yi's physical body, but he knew that he wasn't Miao Yi's opponent. If he didn't want to die, he could only be more obedient.
At the same time, he also understood why Lord Wang wanted to catch Miao Yi, but he wasn't willing to bring more people. He even used the excuse of 'failing to protect the Lady' as an excuse to kill all the servant girls. It turned out that he had a purpose. He was afraid that if Lord Wang really achieved his goal, he wouldn't be able to go back alive.
Miao Yi didn't explain why. He took out the bronze mirror and invoked his arts to enlarge the mirror's surface. He tilted his head towards Huan Da and signaled.
Huan Da understood what he meant. He felt a little helpless and obediently jumped in, disappearing into the mirror.
The bronze mirror shrunk and Miao Yi casually put it away. He grabbed the Inversed-Scales Spear and jumped onto Charcoal's body. As soon as his feet landed on the spikes on both sides of Charcoal's armor, Charcoal immediately sprinted and jumped out of the deep pit. He continued to gallop towards the depths of the vast desert.
The terrain of the desert wasn't very uneven. The terrain was too spacious, so it was difficult for evil aura to gather. It would easily disperse with the wind, so naturally, it wouldn't attract evil spirits. Thus, their journey was rather safe.
After another half a day, Charcoal, who had been galloping non-stop, slowed down his pace. He slowly came to a stop and looked ahead with Miao Yi. They had finally arrived at the edge of the desert.
What was strange was that there was actually a pitch-black 'oasis' in front of them. There was a grassland, and behind the grassland was a large forest.
The vegetation of the Ancient Desolate Dead Lands had long been destroyed by the evil aura. It was strange that there were grasslands and forests in front of them. Moreover, they were black grasslands and forests. Even Charcoal could see that something was wrong. "We should be in the territory of the Forest of Gloom. What should we do?"
