I Went Back to Poach Talent

When Zhang Yang returned to the riverbank, the fighting between Situ Mingyue and the others was still ongoing.

Especially Situ Mingyue, who had only recently become Nascent Soul Realm, while he was facing a Nascent Soul Late Stage, a difference of two minor realms. If it weren't for the Law Treasure she possessed, she might not have been able to withstand her opponent.

Zhang Yang joined the battle and quickly helped Situ Mingyue defeat her opponent.

Subsequently, the other two Nascent Soul Realm were also dealt with.

After capturing the stronghold, Situ Mingyue and the Tiger Demon immediately began cleaning up the battlefield, gathering all the rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures they had collected.

They've already helped clean up the battlefield twice, so they're quite experienced.

Qingxu, meanwhile, felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the two corpses whose heads had been blown off.

If Zhang Yang had hit him on the head, would he be in the same situation?

After all, he only realized what was happening after he was shot.

He felt like he had just Ghost Gate escaped death.

While Situ Mingyue and the Tiger Demon were cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Yang silently kept watch over his surroundings, observing any possible developments.

This is when you are most vulnerable to being ambushed.

After Situ Mingyue and the Tiger Demon finished cleaning up the battlefield and collecting all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they automatically took over the responsibility of guarding the area. Only then did Zhang Yang relax and begin to deal with the heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"Don't stand there in a daze after a battle!" Zhang Yang glanced at Qingxu. "This is the time when we need to be most vigilant. We've used this method to ambush many people before, so we can't afford to make a mistake like this."

"Yes!" Qingxu nodded.

He glanced at the item the weapon refiner was working on, then took it and started refining it himself.

Zhang Yang also glanced at the pills being refined by the Alchemist and, finding that it was just a batch of Origin-Restoring Pill, took them over and began refining them as well.

He can refine all these simple pills.

"I just noticed that your spiritual power is very profound, completely unlike that of someone in the Golden Core Realm!" Qingxu asked Zhang Yang while he was busy.

Zhang Yang nodded. "If we're just talking about spiritual power, all the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators combined probably don't have a deeper level than me."

"Oh?" Qingxu was surprised.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "My Golden Core is a bit special. It has already consumed nearly ten million Spirit Stone, as well as countless other resources."

Qingxu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

He initially thought Zhang Yang's claim of having the greatest spiritual power in the world was an exaggeration, but now it seems that spiritual power really is an exaggeration!

Ten million Spirit Stone are enough to allow someone in the Nascent Soul Realm to break through.

Moreover, there are other resources...

His expression shifted, and he hurriedly said, "Your profound spiritual power is perfect for me to research a Law Treasure!"

"What kind of Law Treasure?"

"It's a tower-shaped Law Treasure that I developed. It has five layers and is Law Treasure based on the interaction of the five elements." Qingxu said, somewhat embarrassed, "Using this Law Treasure requires an immense amount of spiritual power; even a Nascent Soul Realm can't sustain it."

"How powerful is it?" That's what Zhang Yang was really concerned about.

"Its power... is only equivalent to a single strike from an ordinary Primordial Spirit Realm."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly refine the Law Treasure!" Zhang Yang exclaimed with delight.

Qingxu glanced at Zhang Yang: "This Law Treasure requires a lot of high-grade materials. At the same time, the spiritual power required to activate it is enormous. In any case, the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul Realm Law Treasure cannot sustain it. When I first developed it, my fellow disciples laughed at me for a long time."

In their view, given the waste of so many materials to create Law Treasure usable only by those at the Primordial Spirit Realm, why not forge Spirit Artifact instead?

More importantly, this Law Treasure can only unleash the power of a single strike at the Primordial Spirit Realm. Which Primordial Spirit Realm would covet it?

Zhang Yang was somewhat stunned; this thing was indeed a bit unrealistic.

But this is Prodigy Battlefield!

The emergence of the power of the Primordial Spirit Realm is Supreme weapon of destruction!

As for the issue of spiritual energy... he'll prepare more Origin-Restoring Pill; that should be enough to replenish his spiritual energy while simultaneously activating his Law Treasure, right?

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "There are no completely useless people; the key is where they are used. Similarly, there are no completely useless Law Treasure. Even dung can unleash tremendous power at certain times."

Didn't he use excrement to subdue those Demon Lords?

"I do think that your brilliant ideas can have some amazing effects at times," Zhang Yang continued to entice Qingxu. "Your fellow disciples are just ordinary people; how could they possibly understand the ideas of a genius?"

They don't understand you, but I do!

List out the materials for that Law Treasure now, and we'll try to find it on the Prodigy Battlefield, then create it."

"Yes!" Qingxu nodded vigorously, a feeling of having met a kindred spirit welling up within him.

"I need Mithril, Wu Earth Essence, Taiyi Geng Metal, Dense Copper, Flame Crystal..."

As Qingxu presented each piece of information, Zhang Yang's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

That bastard used so many high-grade materials and only made such a thing?

No wonder they were laughed at... it's only natural!

Although he felt a bit awkward, he still nodded and said, "Let's try our best to find it!"

These things can be used in the Prodigy Battlefield for now, and then we can take them back to our Sixth Uncle to refine them into a Spirit Artifact.

Zhang Yang recalled the materials he had collected and said, "We now have Dense Copper..."

Qingxu suddenly said, "How about I go back to Thousand Mechanism Lake and see if there are any usable materials at One-Guard Monastery? They have a lot of people there, and it's an entire stronghold. Maybe we can get some valuable materials."

Zhang Yang was taken aback. Was this bastard trying to run away?

Looking at Qingxu's serious expression, he felt somewhat troubled.

What a fine working person! We just let him go like that?

However, if we don't put it back, we can't completely win over Qingxu's heart, and it won't be convenient to use it in the future!

After weighing the pros and cons, he still said, "Will it be dangerous for you to go back?"

"No one saw me with you guys. I'm still a member of One-Guard Monastery!" Qingxu said matter-of-factly. "Besides, my master is at the Dao Integration Realm. Even if they ostracize me, they wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

"Okay, we'll escort you to the edge of Thousand Mechanism Lake, and then you can go back and try it. If it doesn't work, don't force it." Zhang Yang nodded emphatically.

He agreed because if it succeeded, it would be a very worthwhile deal.

Even if we fail, at worst we'll lose a highly efficient employee and some information will be leaked.

The most crucial element, Barrett, was something Qingxu couldn't create without knowing the key rune.

As for other things, it seems there were no further losses.

"Thank you!" Qingxu said earnestly. As a highly intelligent person, he naturally knew how much trust Zhang Yang placed in him by letting him go back.

They even risked their lives to send him to the vicinity of Thousand Mechanism Lake.

This action was worlds apart from that of his fellow disciples.

He decided that he would definitely go back and find a way to get more materials!
