Deep-Sea Sunken Silver Mother Lode, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape!

"I don't have that thought."

After pondering for a moment, Qian Renxue said:

"Our lives have indeed become much more stable recently. We have shelter, food, and even methods to cultivate our Magic Power."

But that doesn't mean life will always be comfortable.

"On the contrary, the higher we explore, the stronger the Spirit Beast we encounter."

Qian Renxue glanced around.

"In a place like this, any opportunity to improve one's strength should not be wasted due to trivial concerns."

Qian Renxue spoke seriously, not at all like she was discussing matters between men and women.

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow.

So what I value most is actually insignificant to Qian Renxue?

People's pursuits are indeed different.

I'm still too mundane.

"Then what?"

Chu Xiu asked, "You can't sell the same thing for twice the price."

"If this was your own choice, does that mean it can't be used as a condition for recruiting me in the future?"

Qian Renxue nodded, remaining calm as she said, "Cultivation is cultivation, and the previous conditions are the previous conditions; there's no need to confuse the two."

"Since the condition for consuming this Immortal Herb is sexual intercourse, then as long as you have no objections, we can try it together when we get back."

"As for whether you will help me strengthen the Spirit Hall after we leave the Deserted Island, that's another matter, and it's still up to you to decide."

"Of course, if you devalue me because I've already given you my virginity, I can add other bargaining chips."

"In short, as long as you sincerely assist me, I will never let you suffer any losses."

Chu Xiu was completely convinced.

This woman's thought process is definitely different from that of normal women.

If it were Ning Rongrong, she'd probably be blushing and cursing herself for being a scoundrel right now.

Qian Renxue, however, was able to analyze this matter in a serious manner as a plan to improve her strength.

but...

He likes it!

Anyway Chu Xiu didn't care about expanding the Spirit Hall.

Now that there's an extra Yin-Yang Harmony Grass, he doesn't need to deliberately drag it out for a few more days.

Before Chu Xiu could agree, Ah Yin, standing beside him, had already spoken up on Qian Renxue's behalf:

"Chu Xiu, although I don't know what kind of deal you made, Qian Renxue is the Angel Young Master of the Spirit Hall's Angel Sect. You must seize the opportunity to assist her."

How could Chu Xiu not see through Ah Yin's little scheme?

This woman doesn't know how to please Qian Renxue herself, so she wants me to do it for her.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Chu Xiu was originally going to agree, and why wouldn't he want to gain Ah Yin's favor in the process?

"Alright, let's continue searching for ore first, and discuss consuming the spiritual herbs when we get back..."

Chu Xiu carefully dug out the spiritual herb and put it away.

Then the group continued forward.

The main purpose of going up the mountain today is to search for Spirit Tier metals.

While the Meteoric Iron is decent, it's only of Mortal Tier. It's good enough for practice, but if you want to combine it with the Starlight Sapphire to create a true Space Soul Tool, it's clearly a step too low.

As Chu Xiu walked, he continuously Earth Vein Sense.

As he broke through to the Qi Refining Level One, his perception range also increased significantly, from ten meters to about 20 meters.

"Got it."

Chu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he changed direction, walking to the right.

Ah Yin and Qian Renxue didn't ask any more questions and immediately followed.

The three of them walked around a rocky area and finally stopped in front of a bare, gray-black rock wall.

"Here?"

Qian Renxue reached out and tapped it.

It looks like an ordinary stone.

Chu Xiu, however, had already picked up his tools.

There's something down there.

The pickaxe struck, and chunks of rubble were cleared away.

While Wolverine Claws are useful, they are not suitable for digging; specialized tools are more convenient.

This iron pickaxe was specially made by Chu Xiu before he came. It was much more comfortable to swing than to dig with his hands. He dug nearly two meters deep and finally a silvery-white color appeared in the rock strata.

The object looked somewhat like ordinary silver, but its surface had fine, water-like patterns, and even without sunlight, it faintly shimmered with a silvery light.

[Deep-Sea Sunken Silver Mother Lode]

Grade: Lower Spirit Tier

Mutation: Silver Light

Effect: Possesses extremely strong energy conductivity and resilience, making it suitable for inscribing Core Array.

"Is this Deep-Sea Sunken Silver?"

Qian Renxue had clearly seen this material before.

Although the use of Douluo I Soul Tool is still relatively rare, the Martial Soul Shop has collected many treasures, including Deep-Sea Sunken Silver.

but...

"This isn't ordinary Deep-Sea Sunken Silver; it must be mother-of-pearl."

Chu Xiu dug out the ore.

The entire piece of silver mother-of-pearl was about the size of two fists, which was quite a large find.

Is it very precious?

Ah Yin asked.

"Extremely precious."

Qian Renxue nodded. "Deep-Sea Sunken Silver is one of the most important conductive metals in high-level Soul Tool, and silver mother is the purest part of it."

"Its Soul Power conductivity is extremely high, and its toughness far exceeds that of ordinary metals, making it very suitable for inscribing Core Array."

"This material is widely used in some of the ancient high-level Soul Tool collected by the Spirit Hall."

Chu Xiu also laughed.

The Starlight Sapphire is responsible for spatial properties, Deep-Sea Sunken Silver Mother Lode is responsible for transmitting and amplifying power.

The two together are a perfect match.

The top-tier materials that can be used to forge Level 9 Soul Tool in the Douluo Continent are only Spirit Tier materials on this Deserted Island.

Moreover, they are currently at a location that is less than a tenth of the way up the mountain.

At higher elevations, there are almost certainly even better supplies.

Chu Xiu suddenly had an urge to sneak up and take a look.

Just then, Ah Yin, who was standing next to her, suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Not good."

"Danger!!!"

Ah Yin's face turned pale instantly, and a dense layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

An unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly struck her, a feeling stronger than any Spirit Beast she had ever encountered before.

Just like the time when Qian Xunji and his men found them.

"It's a matter of life and death!!"

Ah Yin's voice was stiff, she was breathing heavily, and her heart was racing.

Qian Renxue immediately looked towards the depths of the mountain forest.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

The chirping of insects and birds that I could hear just a moment ago have all disappeared without me noticing.

Chu Xiu did not hesitate.

"Got the stuff, let's go."

However, before they could turn around, Chu Xiu suddenly felt his footing sink.

Bang!

A shallow pit was dented in the ground beneath his feet, and it felt as if a huge boulder had suddenly pressed down on Chu Xiu's shoulder, making it difficult to even breathe.

What happened?

Ah Yin also swayed.

Qian Renxue's expression changed instantly.

"It's Gravity Domain."

She turned her head sharply to look behind her, her bright eyes widening suddenly.

"It's Titan Giant Ape."

Chu Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

The next second.

Boom!

A loud crash suddenly came from the distant forest, and a huge tree, as thick as several people could hug, collapsed.

Then the second one.

The third one!

It looked as if some enormous creature was rampaging through the forest.

The earth began to tremble.

The heavy footsteps grew closer.

In just a few breaths, a huge black figure crashed through the trees and appeared in the three people's sight.

It was a giant ape as big as a small mountain.

Its entire body was covered in black fur, its shoulders were exaggeratedly broad, and its two thick arms almost reached the ground. With each step it took, the ground would tremble noticeably.

What's most terrifying is the oppressive feeling it exudes.

Even if they are hundreds of meters apart.

Chu Xiu felt a tightness in his chest.

"One hundred thousand years..."

Ah Yin's face turned pale.

She was once a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so she was very familiar with this aura.
