Purple Spirit Crystal in Hand

"Wouldn't that be letting him off too easily?"

"Don't act rashly. If a fight breaks out here, everything will have been for nothing."

As the two of them became alert, little did they know that Chen Mo's back was already drenched in cold sweat. What background did he have? He was completely bluffing.

The moment they started fighting, his lie would be exposed.

To be safe, Chen Mo added, "Don't think you can take me out quickly. Since I could see through your trump card at a glance, I naturally have a way to deal with it. It's just that by then..."

Chen Mo's tone turned cold. "It'll be a fight to the death!"

"What family's brat are you? You talk awfully big. Didn't your elders teach you that the most important thing when roaming the world is to keep a low profile?"

Elder Ya floated out of the ring Xiao Yan wore, putting on an imposing air. Stroking his white beard in his soul form, he carefully sized Chen Mo up from head to toe. He paid particular attention to the Dou Qi Gauze Robe Chen Mo wore, which had been formed from Nether Qi.

It doesn't seem like a method of the Soul Hall, but why does it make me tremble? How strange! Unable to figure it out, Elder Ya simply stopped thinking about it. He could hardly lower himself to ask a junior, so he said in a slightly mocking tone, "Do you know that only Purple Spirit Crystal can obtain Accompanying Purple Crystal Source?"

"Is that so?" With his little scheme exposed, Chen Mo did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he took two steps closer. "Tsk, tsk. Such a large piece of Accompanying Purple Crystal Source is indeed extremely rare."

Elder Ya and Xiao Yan frowned at the same time.

"I, Chen, keep my word. If I said I only want Purple Spirit Crystal, then Purple Spirit Crystal is all I want." Seeing their reactions, Chen Mo smiled and swept his gaze around the area. "Once we find the Purple Spirit Crystal and break it open, I take the Purple Spirit Crystal, and you take the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source. Wouldn't that settle it?"

As Elder Ya was still considering it, Xiao Yan took over. A teasing smile tugged at his lips as he said, "There's clearly no Purple Spirit Crystal here. I imagine it must be in the other passage. Now the question is, who's going to get it?"

"The other passage?" Chen Mo could not help frowning. Although he knew the general plot of Dou Po, he did not remember every single detail.

He knew the Purple Spirit Crystal was inside this cave, but he did not know exactly where in the cave it was.

However, the Purple Spirit Crystal had been shed by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, so it was surely kept in the safest place. Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was nowhere to be seen here, so it had to be in the other passage.

With that thought, Chen Mo replied with the same teasing tone, "Of course I have no problem with that, but..."

Before he could finish, Chen Mo did not know whether he was still putting on an act or not, but he left the passage without the slightest hesitation.

After he had gone far enough, Chen Mo silently confirmed it in his heart.

That had been his plan when he took those two steps forward.

Ding! Spending 300 Fortune Points to Plunder Accompanying Purple Crystal Source. Due to the great distance, the Plunder speed will be reduced. Please wait patiently.

Damn, this thing even has a progress bar?

Chen Mo only learned later that the Plunder function could only detect items within ten meters of him.

Once an item had been detected, it could be marked by the system. As long as the marked item was no more than one kilometer away from Chen Mo afterward, it could be Plundered at any time.

The farther away it was, the more Fortune Points it cost to Plunder, and the slower the process became.

"That's fine too. They probably won't notice for a while." Chen Mo quickened his pace.

"Teacher?"

"What the hell were you thinking?" Elder Ya was rather speechless. "You don't want the Purple Spirit Crystal anymore?"

"Teacher, don't you have a way to break it open?" Under Elder Ya's astonished gaze, Xiao Yan scratched his head and said, "I thought you were bluffing him."

"Bluffing my ass. Hurry up and follow him."

"Teacher, you never told me."

"You dare blame your teacher?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Xiao Yan hurriedly followed after him.

His body pressed tightly against the cave wall, and he did not dare let down the Aura Concealment Technique for even a moment.

At that moment, Chen Mo noticed the movement behind him and said with amusement, "You're here?"

Xiao Yan did not want to acknowledge him and merely rolled his eyes at him.

Elder Ya, on the other hand, gave Chen Mo an approving look and believed a little more of what Chen Mo had said earlier.

After walking through the passage for a while, Chen Mo's view finally opened up again.

This cave chamber was more than twice as large as the one on the left. It was almost completely filled with purple crystal stones, and in the center, a smaller Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was sleeping soundly.

Ding! A Third Rank Purple Crystal Winged Lion King has been detected. You may spend 1,000 Fortune Value to Plunder its cultivation.

Could you be any more expensive? Chen Mo complained inwardly.

A Third Rank magical beast was as strong as a human Da Dou Shi. Besides, this was the magical beast's home ground, so Chen Mo did not dare wake it.

"You doing it, or am I?" Chen Mo asked Xiao Yan.

"Watch and learn." Perhaps because he had lost ground earlier, Xiao Yan desperately wanted to win some back.

Just like in the novel, Purple Smoke Fruit paired with the powerful laxative Xiao Yan had made himself.

When Xiao Yan took out those strange jars, Chen Mo's expression shifted. Between him and Yun Yun, the only thing missing had been a jar.

Everything went smoothly, without any other mishaps. The Purple Smoke Fruit was successfully swallowed by Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Next came the search for the Purple Spirit Crystal.

Ding! A spiritual item, Purple Spirit Crystal, has been detected. You may spend 260 Fortune Points to Plunder it.

"Two hundred and sixty points? That expensive? I'll do it myself!"

Following the system's guidance, Chen Mo went directly behind a purple crystal stone near the edge.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and tapped on more than a dozen nearby purple crystal stones.

During that time, Chen Mo had already pried open a stone slab, and a streak of purple radiance instantly shot out.

"Why does this feel so familiar?" Xiao Yan was utterly bewildered. It felt as though Chen Mo had returned to his own home.

"Is that important? Hurry up and get to work!"

Chen Mo had just picked up the Purple Spirit Crystal.

Ding! You are in close contact with Purple Spirit Crystal. You may spend 1 Fortune Point to Plunder it.

"It can do that too?"

Another strange feature had been added to the list. Chen Mo decided he needed to find time to study it properly.

He did not Plunder it yet. Holding it in his hand, he headed outside the cave chamber.

"Let's go." After restoring the stone slab to its original position, Chen Mo waved his hand.

The three returned to the cave chamber where the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source was kept.

At the crystal platform, Xiao Yan greedily stared at the purple sphere, unaware that both its temperature and the amount of source inside had changed.

Elder Ya sensed that something was off, but he had been watching Chen Mo from beginning to end. Clearly, Chen Mo had not caused it.

Crack. Chen Mo smashed open the purple crystal sphere, and a considerable amount of purple crystal source still flowed out.

"Quick, quick! That's Purple Crystal Source! Use the Jade Bottle to collect it!"

Under Elder Ya's urging, Xiao Yan swiftly sprang into action.

"How strange. Why is it dwindling so quickly?"

"I don't know either. It's my first time seeing one broken open too."

Then, under their dumbfounded gazes, Xiao Yan pressed his mouth to a small depression in the stone and began sucking it up directly.

"Well then, since both sides have gotten what they wanted, I'll be leaving first." What a joke. If he did not leave now, even what Xiao Yan had collected in the bottle would be gone.

Xiao Yan and Elder Ya did not stop him. After all, Chen Mo had not caused any trouble along the way.
