"Eh, look at that brilliance. This is … a Star Halo Stone?"
While searching in a deep stream, Ling Dong's gaze suddenly focused. On the steep slope to the east, there were a few oval-shaped stones scattered all over. What was amazing was that on the oval-shaped stones, there were actually circular patterns that looked like stars.
Those patterns looked very ordinary at first glance, but if one looked closely, especially when there was a flash of brilliance, they would emit a circle of brilliance that looked like starlight. It was very beautiful.
However, this brilliance appeared for an extremely short period of time. It could be said that Ling Dong's luck was pretty good. The moment he turned his head, he happened to see the Star Halo Stone flash. After attracting Ling Dong's attention, the Star Halo Stone instantly dimmed and became no different from the other stones. If Ling Dong didn't turn his head coincidentally, he might have missed this treasure.
"One piece, two pieces, three pieces, a total of four pieces!" After searching the slope carefully, Ling Dong only obtained four pieces of Star Halo Stone.
Although the quantity was very small, the value of four pieces of Star Halo Stone made Ling Dong very happy. This was because the harvest of these four pieces of Star Halo Stone was already more than half of what he had obtained in the past ten days.
One piece of Star Halo Stone could be exchanged for one value. Four pieces meant four values. The value was very high. These Star Halo Stones were also ranked tenth in the Big Dipper Talisman. They were extremely valuable.
After thinking for a while, Ling Dong put two pieces of Star Halo Stone into his Myriad Stars House. The other two pieces were thrown into his Blessed Soul Bag.
Similar actions happened many times in the past ten days. As long as there were more than two pieces of treasures that Ling Dong could find, regardless of their ranking in the Big Dipper Talisman, or whether Ling Dong knew their specific uses, Ling Dong would take one out and put it into the Myriad Stars House.
Even though Ling Dong wouldn't be able to use most of the treasures in the short term, they would be of great use to Ling Dong in the future.
Over the past 10 days, Ling Dong had found 13 types of treasures. However, the most valuable ones were the star core and the Starhalo Stone in front of him.
Including the treasures obtained from killing the guy who used Ling Dong and today's harvest, Ling Dong had only obtained 11 points. Furthermore, half of these 11 points had been thrown into the Myriad Stars House by Ling Dong.
In other words, the number of treasures Ling Dong had placed in the Blessing Soul Bag was less than six points. If Ling Dong wanted to take all the treasures in the Myriad Stars House, he would have to work hard to find them. Otherwise, he would just be doing hard work for Ling Dong.
Ling Dong carefully searched the hillside and didn't find anything. Then, he got up and headed south again.
First, Bai Yuhan and Shi Qianbi were both heading south. Along the way, Ling Dong also found the specific markings that Bai Yuhan and Shi Qianbi had left for him.
However, after confirming the direction, Ling Dong wasn't in a hurry to catch up with Bai Yuhan and Shi Qianbi. After all, after meeting up with them, Ling Dong would still have some influence if he wanted to hide the treasures.
Furthermore, according to Inspector Di Nankun's instructions, the first 25 days in the Tian Gang Secret Realm were relatively safe. Under normal circumstances, the cultivators who entered to search for treasures wouldn't casually act. Even if they met, they would just pass by in a hurry.
However, after 25 days, they had to be extremely vigilant. Even if they met a lone cultivator, they had to be extremely careful. The first 25 days were called the fattening period by Di Nankun.
They had to fatten the chickens first before slaughtering them.
During these 25 days, even the most unlucky cultivator would be able to collect 30 to 40 marked treasures. A chicken with a marked value of 30 to 40 marked treasures would be considered fat. Slaughtering it at that time would yield the most income.
Of course, it was hard to say who would be the chicken and who would be the butcher.
Perhaps when one fancied a fat chicken and went to slaughter it, one would suddenly discover that the fat chicken was actually a fighting chicken with a sharp blade. It would be hard to say who would be the one to kill who.
Because of this tacit understanding of fattening, the first 25 days in the Tian Gang Secret Realm were called the fattening period. Under normal circumstances, no one would act.
This was because the number of cultivators who entered the Tian Gang Secret Realm was limited. There were only 288 cultivators, so there would be one less cultivator to kill. Furthermore, the Tian Gang Secret Realm wasn't considered big, but it definitely wasn't small either. It was at least 10,000 miles wide. If less than 300 people entered, even if they deliberately searched and hunted, it was hard to say how many cultivators they would encounter.
Therefore, in Ling Dong's plan, he would search alone for the first 20 days. During the last few days, he would meet up with Bai Yuhan and Shi Qianbi to ensure his safety.
Furthermore, the reason Ling Dong had chosen to head south was because Ling Dong had vaguely sensed a trace of fire energy in the south. That was the power that belonged solely to flames.
Ling Dong's comprehension of the Fire Law had already reached the second level with the help of the Vermilion Bird Matriarch. His perception of the power of fire had also reached a terrifying level.
Just by standing in the southern part of the Tian Gang Secret Realm, Ling Dong could vaguely sense that there was an extremely abundant power of fire in the far south.
Originally, no matter how strong the power of fire in the far south was, it wouldn't be of much use to Ling Dong. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was abundant. Furthermore, it hadn't even been a month, so his cultivation wouldn't have improved much.
Despite that, Ling Dong suddenly had an idea after killing the Earth-attribute beast. He wanted to further increase his strength.
Ling Dong had obtained an extremely practical secret technique from the Star Demon Inheritance. It was called Illusory Formation Spirit. Even with Ling Dong's current conditions, he had only cultivated it to the second level.
Previously, he had also used it against enemies and its power had been acceptable. However, what really moved Ling Dong was the third level of the Illusory Formation Spirit. If he could cultivate the third level of the Illusory Formation Spirit, whether it was Ling Dong's Innate Spirit Fire or the extremely powerful Scarlet Spirit Purple Flame, their power would increase by more than 50%.
At that time, if he used the third level of the Illusory Formation Spirit to kill a cultivator like Huang Hou, he wouldn't need to use two Scarlet Spirit Purple Flames. One Scarlet Spirit Purple Flame was enough to extinguish the soul of a cultivator like Huang Hou.
If he wanted to cultivate the third level of the Illusory Formation Spirit, aside from the cultivation method and the comprehension of the Law of Fire, he would need one more thing.
This kind of thing was extremely rare outside the Heaven Star Secret Realm. It required the soul of a pure Fire Attribute Dire Beast. Furthermore, this Dire Beast's cultivation couldn't be lower than the Constellation Stage.
The soul of a Dire Beast was extremely difficult to find outside the Heaven Star Secret Realm, especially in the Vermillion Bird Star System. Pure fire-attribute Demonic Beasts were most likely related to the Vermilion Bird Matriarch.
Ling Dong also found one that met the requirements. It was the mount of the Right Minister of the Vermillion Bird Ancestor. It was extremely suitable. However, it was the Right Chief Minister's mount. Not to mention Ling Dong, even if the Patrol Inspector Di Nankun had more guts, he wouldn't even dare to have such thoughts.
Now that he had entered the Heaven Star Secret Realm, Ling Dong thought about how the Heaven Star Secret Realm only opened once every thousand years. Therefore, he guessed that there might be an extremely pure Fire Attribute Dire Beast in a place where the Fire Attribute Dire Beast was extremely abundant. The Earth Attribute Dire Beast that Ling Dong couldn't kill previously gave Ling Dong such an idea.
If he could find one or two Dire Beasts and obtain their souls to help Ling Dong cultivate the third level of the Illusory Formation Spirit, then Ling Dong's combat strength would definitely increase greatly. If Ling Dong was able to cultivate the third level of the Illusory Formation Spirit, then if he were to meet someone like Lie Fen Tian who cultivated a fire attribute cultivation method that was on par with him, or even stronger than him, winning would be a piece of cake.
Moreover, the third level of the Illusory Formation Spirit wasn't as simple as a Divine Art. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been recorded in the Star Demon's inheritance.
"At my current speed, I'm afraid I'll reach the place where the Fire Attribute Dire Beast surges in another ten days." After carefully sensing for a while, Ling Dong's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation. His Divine Sense once again spread out to the ground like water. His whole body swept up like a fish as he flew at a low altitude to search.
Time flowed like water, and for cultivators who had reached the Qui Star Realm, it was normal for them to not rest for ten days to half a month. Even if they were tired, they could just meditate and cultivate for a few hours to recover.
In order to save time, Ling Dong had only occasionally drank some water, ate some rations, and rested. The rest of the time, he was searching hard.
Putting aside the fact that he had to search for treasures worth 100 to complete the mission and save his life, Ling Dong felt that it was worth it for him to throw the Star Core and the other treasures into the Residence of Ten Thousand Stars.
It had to be said that Ling Dong's luck had been somewhat good recently. Ever since he found the four Star Halo Stones on the hillside, Ling Dong's good luck hadn't stopped.
The next day after finding the Star Halo Stones, Ling Dong casually waved a wisp of Innate Spirit Fire while roasting meat. He found about fifty kilograms of Flame Essence in the big hole, which made Ling Dong overjoyed.
Every ten kilograms of Flame Essence was worth one point, but fifty kilograms could be worth ten points. Now, Ling Dong believed that most of them could complete the task of accumulating one hundred points.
In the next eight or nine days, Ling Dong's good luck continued to surprise Ling Dong. Every day, he would find a dozen or so treasures. The most he found was twenty points. However, Ling Dong didn't find any of the top ten treasures in the Big Dipper Treasure Talisman.
Even so, over the past few days, Ling Dong had accumulated one hundred and forty points, and this didn't include the Star Core.
Excluding the half that Ling Dong threw into the Myriad Stars House, Ling Dong's current Blessing Soul Pouch had accumulated seventy points. It could be said that he wasn't far from the target of one hundred points.
"It's the twenty-first day. It's time to meet up with Yu Han and the others. However, after these days of chasing, I shouldn't be too far away from Yu Han and the others, right? " After looking into the distance, Ling Dong continued to fly at a low altitude. He spread out his Divine Sense to search for possible treasures.
Every time he flew at a low altitude for about five kilometers, Ling Dong would use the special technique recorded in the Big Dipper Treasure Talisman to sense the Number One Divine Stone.
Ling Dong didn't know how the Number One Divine Stone was to other star fields, but it was extremely important to the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's residence. Among the more than one hundred treasures, only the Number One Divine Stone had a special sensing technique recorded behind it.
When he used this sensing technique, as long as there was a Number One Divine Stone within a ten-kilometer radius, regardless of whether it had been dug out or not, as long as it hadn't been placed in the Blessing Soul Pouch, he would be able to sense it. Moreover, this sensing ability had different effects depending on the Divine Soul cultivation of the user.
Therefore, every seven or eight kilometers, Ling Dong would slightly use the sensing technique of the Number One Divine Stone. Ling Dong was also hoping that he would be lucky enough to find one or two Number One Divine Stones. After all, the Number One Divine Stone was a heaven-shaking treasure worth one hundred points. The value of such a treasure couldn't even be exchanged for a corner of an Auxiliary Astral Boundary.
Just as Ling Dong was looking forward to his good fortune, he raised his eyebrows and revealed a look of surprise. "Eh, Number One Divine Stone?"
"I actually have such good luck? Just as I was looking forward to it, good luck came! " Ling Dong was a little surprised by his good luck over the past few days. Could it be that he was a little lucky?
