"Ah … why are there so many?"
Hei Tian let out a sigh of relief when he finally regained his senses after sinking his consciousness into the Qian Kun Ring for a long while. If Ling Dong wasn't already far away, Erebus would have chased after him and asked if Ling Dong had made a mistake.
When he saw the huge amount of Reiki in the ring, Erebus almost thought that Ling Dong had left his entire fortune to his Master because he knew he was going to die.
The main reason was that Ling Dong had left too many Reiki in the ring. In truth, Erebus wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world. In his early years, he did have some wealth.
However, compared to what Ling Dong had given him, his wealth in the early years was nothing.
The amount of Reiki piled up like a small mountain in the ring. Erebus scanned the ring with his divine sense and estimated that there were about five hundred thousand mid-grade Reiki. It was a huge amount.
Even Erebus, the Grand Elder of the True Gang Sect, could only earn ten to twenty thousand mid-grade Reiki in a year. Even he would need forty to fifty years to accumulate such wealth, and that was under the condition that he didn't eat, drink, or even consume a single pill.
However, it was obvious that the five hundred thousand mid-grade spirit crystals were not the biggest part. The biggest part was the top grade and top grade origin artifacts. One focused on offense, and the other focused on defense. On top of that, these two origin artifacts were very compatible with Hei Tian's cultivation technique.
The most priceless item was the top-grade origin spiritual artifact. With Erebus's eyesight, he estimated that this top-grade origin spiritual artifact was worth at least five hundred thousand mid-grade Reiki. Moreover, even if one had Reiki, they might not be able to buy it. It was of a higher grade than the sect's most treasured spiritual artifacts.
Other than these, there were nearly a hundred bottles of medicinal pills. Every bottle was used for cultivation by cultivators at Erebus's level. Not only were they extremely scarce in the market, they were also extremely expensive. Usually, Erebus would not be willing to use it for his cultivation. Usually, he would only buy a bottle when he was trying to break through a bottleneck.
"It's worth more than a million, or even two million mid-tier Reiki. Where did this kid get it? Could it be that he really knows that he's going to die … "Such a thought flashed across Erebus' mind. He was so shocked that he hastily picked up the other two Universe Rings from the ground and sent his Divine Sense into them.
The moment his Divine Sense sank in, Erebus was once again dumbfounded!
This was because the items in the other two Interspatial Rings were similar to those in his Interspatial Ring.
The amount of Reiki was the same, 500,000 medium-grade Reiki. The only difference was in pills and origin artifacts.
Inside the spatial ring Huang Xiaolong had given Huo Lin, there were more or less the same number of pills as Huang Xiaolong. However, there were only two high-grade origin spiritual artifacts inside the spatial ring. From this, one could see how precious a top-grade origin spiritual artifact was. After all, a top-grade origin spiritual artifact was the closest to a legendary origin soul artifact.
Inside the spatial ring Huang Xiaolong gave Bu Yangming, there were more pills that could aid in cultivation, but their value was much lower. They were mainly used by Star Transformation Realm cultivators. As for treasures, Huang Xiaolong gave Huang Xiaolong two Universe Treasures and two mid-grade origin spiritual artifacts.
"Three Interspatial Rings are worth nearly five million mid-tier Reiki. Where did this kid get them? Even if he sold all his family's assets, he wouldn't be able to get even a tenth of these Reiki. Could this really be the kid's harvest in the Vermilion Bird Galaxy? "Erebus was very doubtful.
Recalling Ling Dong's instructions before he left, Erebus' heart finally relaxed. However, the vigilance in his heart grew even stronger.
"With such a huge amount of wealth, if the slightest bit of news gets out, it will definitely bring death to Dong 'er! I'm going to take this matter to the grave. There's also Huo Lin and Bu Yangming. When the time comes, I'll have to explain it to them! "Inside the abode, Erebus's eyes shone brightly.
"With my filial piety, the True Dipper Sect's strength is gradually increasing, and the income from the two auxiliary star realms is increasing rapidly. It should be enough for Master and the others to advance by leaps and bounds for a long time. I believe that suppressing Qing Jiu and Dan Shui won't be a problem."
After leaving the True Dipper Sect, Ling Dong urged the Cloud Piercing Ship to fly towards Pristine Ancient City. He was also thinking about this matter.
In fact, compared to Ling Dong's harvest, the amount of wealth Ling Dong took out was just a drop in the ocean. However, it was only a small portion of the treasures Ling Dong had brought out from the Heavenly Dipper Secret Realm.
Ling Dong had a lot of treasures in his hands, but the speed at which he could convert them into money was limited. That's because if any of them were to leak out from Ling Dong's hands, it would be a huge amount of wealth. It would cause people to be shocked and have crooked thoughts. The Golden Gathering Hall was a living example.
"According to the information of the sect's disciples, Ancestor Stargazer should still be cultivating in the Pristine Ancient City Spiritual Academy. I hope that he hasn't gone out to train. Otherwise, it would be a pity!" Ling Dong planned his own matters as he urged the Cloud Piercing Ship to fly.
Ling Dong was going to Pristine Ancient City mainly for Ancestor Stargazer.
Since he was going to the Central Garrison Star Field to take up the position of Sky Official, he would be fighting for the world from scratch. In that case, he couldn't do without his own subordinates.
Ling Dong's first consideration was Ancestor Stargazer. There was no need to mention Ancestor Stargazer's wisdom. Although his strength wasn't enough, he was definitely Ling Dong's first choice.
Furthermore, Ling Dong had also considered Ancestor Stargazer's future prospects if he stayed in the True Dipper Sect. In any place, there would be a distinction between close and distant. In the True Dipper Sect, the Supreme Elders and the Sect Master's personal disciples were close. Ancestor Stargazer was an ascended cultivator, so he was distant.
Unless Ancestor Stargazer was like Ling Dong and burst out with an unconcealable brilliance, it would be impossible for him to change his situation and position. Otherwise, even if Forefather Stargazer reached the peak of the Qui Star Realm, he would only be an ordinary elder with no power or influence. He would only be a consecrated elder without any power or influence.
Of course, going with Ling Dong to the Central Garrison Star Field might not necessarily have a bright future. Furthermore, there was a possibility of death, but at least there was hope.
However, this matter ultimately depended on Ancestor Stargazer's choice. If Ancestor Stargazer was willing to go, then Ling Dong would be extremely happy. If Ancestor Stargazer wasn't willing to go, then Ling Dong wouldn't try to persuade him.
On the contrary, Ling Dong had already prepared a Yin and Yang Ring similar to Bu Yangming's for Ancestor Stargazer to help him develop his cultivation. Ling Dong had always been a person who knew how to be grateful and repay kindness!
"After going to Pristine Ancient City to settle this matter, then I can directly use the Star Official Token to return to the Constellation Heaven Lord's Abode and settle that matter …" Thinking of the things he had to arrange before going to the Central Garrison Star Field, Ling Dong's brows were tightly knitted together.
A strong enemy was waiting for an opportunity to strike. He couldn't take his time arranging things one by one. He had to settle everything in the shortest time possible and then immediately go to the Central Garrison Star Field. The safety of his family couldn't be delayed!
"Time. When I go to the Central Garrison Star Field, I just need to recuperate for a few years and use the Myriad Stars House to raise the family's strength. At that time, hmph … Ah …"
Just as he was thinking, Ling Dong suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that three green lights suddenly soared into the sky from the mountain range below. They formed a ring and charged toward Ling Dong.
Ling Dong, who suddenly realized the danger, couldn't help but cry out in alarm. He quickly steered the Cloud-Piercing Ship downward. This was because Ling Dong was shocked to discover that the three green lights charging toward him were also three Cloud-Piercing Ships.
The three Cloud-Piercing Ships were charging toward his Cloud-Piercing Ship as if they wanted to perish together. Ling Dong was so shocked that he hastily dodged.
Ling Dong didn't know what would happen if the Cloud-Piercing Ships collided with each other at such a high speed. However, he would definitely suffer terrifying injuries.
The left, right, and center Cloud-Piercing Ships completely sealed off Ling Dong's path forward like a staircase. Ling Dong's Cloud-Piercing Ship was forced downward.
The moment Ling Dong's Cloud-Piercing Ship dodged downward, the Cloud-Piercing Ship at the very top quickly changed direction and chased after Ling Dong.
At this moment, Ling Dong suddenly understood that he had fallen into a meticulously prepared ambush. His reaction had all been calculated by the masters of the three Cloud-Piercing Ships.
However, Ling Dong knew that he had understood it too late. He had already fallen into their trap. If Ling Dong had charged forward without dodging, he might have received unexpected results.
"Cloud-Piercing Ship, return!" Just as Ling Dong's Cloud-Piercing Ship was about to crash into the mountain peak below because it couldn't change direction in time, Ling Dong suddenly roared. His figure flashed out of the Cloud-Piercing Ship and flipped a few times due to the immense inertia. However, the moment the Cloud-Piercing Ship crashed into the mountain peak, Ling Dong had already returned it to the Myriad Stars House!
"Which scoundrel is this? Get the hell out here!" Ling Dong was instantly enraged after being forced to somersault miserably on the mountain peak. The moment he stabilized his body, his eyes, which were as bright as starlight, suddenly turned into two balls of dancing purple flames.
The instant Zi Yan's eyes swept in all directions, the area that Ling Dong's gaze landed on suddenly turned into a sea of fire. At the same time, Ling Dong's figure swiftly flashed and dodged the three Cloud Piercing Boats that were charging straight at him.
Controlling his body to dodge the collision of the three Cloud-Piercing Ships was much easier than controlling the Cloud-Piercing Ships themselves.
The moment Ling Dong dodged the Cloud-Piercing Ships, the area several kilometres around him immediately turned into a sea of fire. It was a sea of fire formed from pure Innate Spirit Fire that was red on the outside and purple on the inside. In an instant, the three Cloud-Piercing Ships were engulfed in this sea of Innate Spirit Fire.
"Hmph, this little bastard does have some ability. Come out, don't destroy the Cloud-Piercing Ships. Be careful not to let him escape!" A cold voice filled with killing intent suddenly appeared in this sea of fire. The moment the figure appeared, Ling Dong's sea of fire was swept away like a wave.
A rather cold-looking cultivator with a somewhat superior aura suddenly appeared. Almost as soon as this cultivator finished speaking, nine figures appeared in the sea of fire with a 'shua shua shua' sound and quickly surrounded Ling Dong.
What made Ling Dong feel strange was that this cultivator with a rather cold appearance looked somewhat familiar. He seemed to have seen him before, but he couldn't recall who he was at that moment.
But the cultivation of the leading martial artist made Ling Dong taken aback.
"Level 9 … peak of the Constellation Realm?" The moment he sensed this person's cultivation, Ling Dong's expression turned extremely serious. But what made Ling Dong feel even more pressure was that the other eight martial artists surrounding him all had cultivations at the fourth level of the Constellation Realm and above without exception!
"Hmph, at least you have some eyesight!" The leader snorted, but he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. A scroll suddenly appeared in his hand. The moment he opened it, his gaze turned towards Ling Dong!
