Shangguan Hong Refused to Give Up, Jade Mystic Stone Marrow
The battle involving four Golden Core Force came to an end, but the aftermath of this event was only just beginning to unfold.
At the Goldwater Sect's temporary headquarters, Shangguan Hong was truly shocked by the news reported by her scouts. She hadn't expected that Yang Tianyou, the Great White Blade, would have such strength, defeating Lin He, who was also a False Core cultivator, with such ease and effortlessness.
Moreover, according to Spirit Sword Master of the Yi Sword Sect, this person actually comprehended the Major-Completion Blade Intent, and his talent was no less than that of the Seven Heroes of Luochuan in previous generations, and his combat strength was even greater.
"What should we do, Senior Brother Shangguan? Should we still seek revenge on the Yang Household?" A Goldwater Sect disciple at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage asked.
His face still held a hint of fear, clearly intimidated by Yang Tianyou's terrifying combat prowess.
The other disciples of the Goldwater Sect also changed their expressions and hesitated.
"Revenge! Of course we must take revenge!" Shangguan Hong glanced around, gritted her teeth, and said fiercely.
"How do we report this? Yang Tianyou alone is an insurmountable problem! Does Senior Brother Shangguan really have the confidence to stop him?" A Foundation Establishment Great Perfection disciple frowned and spoke with considerable dissatisfaction.
Shangguan Hong glanced at him, then turned and paced back and forth, saying, "Don't forget, the Yang Household now has two tokens, and with the Wang Household's one, that makes three Elder Tokens!"
"Think about it, two mere Golden Core Forces have occupied half of the six Elder Tokens. Hmph, what will the other forces think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Foundation Establishment of the Goldwater Sect changed their expressions. Some of them had bright eyes, feeling that what Shangguan Hong said made a lot of sense.
"What should we do then? Who should we join forces with? The Flamefrost Sect, the Corpse Yin Sect, and the Seven Absolutes Sect each hold an Elder Token; under these circumstances, they shouldn't take any more risks."
"Then let's go find other forces: the Feng Household in Dragon Valley County, the Three-Leaves Sect in Xinkou County, and the Cloudglow Sect in Silver River County. And the Lin Household in Huangshan County, who just suffered a great loss at the hands of the Yang Household. I know Lin He; he's vengeful and will never tolerate this!"
Shangguan Hong rattled off a long list of faction names, and the other Foundation Establishment from the Goldwater Sect didn't say anything more, agreeing to his plan.
On the other side, Yang Tianyou sent out a Communication Talisman and entered the Jade-Profound Stone Mine with the Wang Household.
Jade Profound Stone is a rather precious Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Material, usually used to build meditation rooms or to refine special magical Law Artifacts such as the Yang Household's Heart-Questioning Hall and Trial Tower.
The meditation room built with jadeite can not only calm the mind and help one comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth, but also purify Spiritual Qi and help cultivators improve their cultivation.
However, jade stones will be damaged during this process; otherwise, they wouldn't be so precious.
The Jade-Profound Stone Mine in front of us is a medium to large-sized vein. If it were fully mined, its value should be around 500,000 Spirit Stones.
They don't have much time right now. Even with the Wang Household's help, the violent mining has decreased, but they still haven't paid much attention to some peripheral areas, abandoning them altogether and focusing their efforts on digging towards the core.
The two companies worked together, and the excavation progressed quickly. In just two hours, they had already reached the core of the ore vein.
A rich Spiritual Qi rippled out as Yang Tianyou, Wang Qingshan, and the others stepped into the core cave. Looking up, they saw a small pool, no more than three feet wide, nestled among a large number of high-purity jade stones.
The milky white pool water was very viscous, and the rising Spiritual Qi transformed into mysterious and complex special Spirit Mark half a foot above the surface.
"Millennium Jade Mystic Stone Marrow! I never imagined that this vein would contain such a treasure!" Yang Tianyou took a deep breath, in high spirits.
The Millennium Jade Mystic Stone Marrow is a Third-Tier Lower-Grade Spirit Items. Drinking a sip of it can enhance the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator for several months without causing any weakness.
If we were to talk about drinking from this pool, it would probably take hundreds of sips to finish it.
Besides improving cultivation level, the reason Yang Tianyou valued this treasure the most was that, after being refined using special methods, it could enhance Body Cultivator Aptitude.
It should be noted that Yang Tianyou initially used four strands of Qi of Creation to enhance his Body Cultivator Aptitude, but he is already finding it difficult to cultivate to his current level.
According to his original estimate, his Body Cultivator Aptitude could only support him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and as for the Golden Core Realm, it would be very difficult!
However, with this pool of Jade Mystic Stone Marrow before him, things are different. His Body Cultivator Aptitude can definitely be raised to the Golden Core Level.
No longer needing to waste time searching for treasures to improve Body Cultivator Aptitude, this saved Yang Tianyou a lot of trouble.
"It seems that this Millennium Jade Mystic Stone Marrow is very much to Brother Yang's liking. Then I will give up my Wang Household's 20% and give it all to Brother Yang!" Although Wang Qingshan was honest and simple, he had lived for so many years and still had the ability to read people's expressions.
Seeing Yang Tianyou's delighted expression, he guessed that this Millennium Jade Mystic Stone Marrow must have some special effect on the former.
If the goal is simply to improve cultivation level, there are all sorts of Pills in the Cultivation World to help. The Millennium Jade Mystic Stone Marrow is only considered good; it is far from irreplaceable.
"I won't stand on ceremony with you, Brother Wang. This treasure is indeed of great use to me. But as friends, I certainly can't let you suffer a loss. How about this: apart from the Millennium Jade Mystic Stone Marrow, let's not split the other Jadeite Stones 20/80, but 50/50? What do you say?"
"Haha, alright, I'll listen to Brother Yang!" As their friendship deepened, Wang Qingshan had a basic understanding of Yang Tianyou's personality, so he stopped being polite and readily agreed.
Then, Yang Tianyou stepped forward, carefully put away the Millennium Jade Mystic Stone Marrow, and continued to dig the vein.
Three hours later, the Formation surrounding the Jade-Profound Stone Mine slowly dissipated, and the Yang Household and Wang Household disappeared.
Underground, on the back of Giant Mountain, Wang Qingshan was stroking the thick cowhide with a look of fascination.
For the Wang Household, who love mining, there is no more suitable Spirit Beast than the Earth Vein Rock Rhino.
"Daoist Friends, if your Spirit Beast ever gives birth to offspring, you must reserve one for my Wang Household. The price is negotiable, and I will never let you suffer a loss!" Wang Qingshan said, holding Yang Tianwang's hand with some excitement.
"Well... alright!" Yang Tianwang grinned and agreed.
Seeing this, Yang Tianyou smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, he was holding a Communication Talisman in his hand. The owner of the Talisman was none other than his close friend, Hong Qing!
Thousands of miles away, in a dense forest shrouded in clouds and mist, the Cloudglow Sect group was entrenched.
Shen Luoyu, who was leading the group, looked at Hong Qing in front of her and smiled sweetly, "Junior Brother Hong, has the Communication Talisman been sent out?"
"It's been sent out, and Brother Yang has received it. He said that as long as we are willing to make Heart Demon Oath, sign a contract, and agree to the conditions he proposed, we will hand over the Elder Token with both hands!" Hong Qing said, his face beaming with joy.
"Okay, reply to him that I agree to all these conditions, and the action plan can proceed according to his suggestions!"
"Yes, Senior Sister Shen!"
