Forget about rare and precious materials.
Just as Lin An had guessed, the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree had plundered all the rare and precious materials in Black Mountain, hoping to use them to break through to the Platinum Realm.
Unfortunately, before he could truly break through, Lin Xiao broke through to the Platinum and attacked.
Lin An took out the crystal core of the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.
My gaze fell upon the roots of the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree, where drops of white liquid were falling.
Lin An's eyes lit up; he sensed that the liquid contained extremely pure spiritual energy.
"This should be the spiritual liquid that the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree hadn't had time to absorb after refining all the rare and precious materials."
At this moment, Lin Xiao came over and said, "The reason why the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree and the Shadow Night Owl were able to unleash Platinum Realm power in such a short time is because they used this spiritual liquid."
"Can we Human Race absorb this spiritual liquid for cultivation?" Lin An asked.
"Of course, this is possible. This spiritual liquid is extremely rare. It has already been refined once by the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree. If we Human Race were to consume it, the refining difficulty would be very low, even better than taking pills."
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I just don't know how much spirit liquid the opponent used in the previous battle, and how much they have left."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao One Saber Slash, severing the roots of the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree.
Suddenly, a large amount of spiritual liquid appeared. Lin Xiao moved his palm slightly, and the spiritual liquid slowly flew out.
"I didn't expect there to be so many. It seems the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree started preparing decades ago," Lin An said.
There's enough of this elixir to fill a bathtub; it's perfect for soaking in.
With these spiritual liquids, he should be able to break through to the Gold Ninth Grade, or even the Platinum Realm, much faster.
After searching carefully again and confirming that there were no other valuable items left behind, the two decided to leave.
" An'er, wait here first. I will carry the body of the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree back to Shenglin City, and then I will come back to retrieve the corpses of the other Gold Realm Sin Beast," Lin Xiao said.
If the corpses of the Gold Realm Sin Beast are left unattended, they will be devoured by other Sin Beast, and before long, Gold Realm Sin Beast will reappear in the Black Mountain.
"Father, rest assured, there is nothing in these Black Mountain that can threaten me now," Lin An said with a smile.
This is a good opportunity for him to kill some Sin Beast.
Although at his current level, killing Sin Beast wouldn't grant him attribute points, he could use them to increase the number needed for title upgrades.
[ First Blood - Ten Thousand Sin Slaughter ]: A unique title across the entire server, increasing damage dealt to Sin Beast by 20%.
His current title is merely " Ten Thousand Sin Slaughter." The next upgrade requires slaying 100,000 Sin Beast Sin Beast, and he only needs a few thousand more to meet that requirement.
Lin Xiao nodded. He naturally believed what Lin An said. Without saying a word, he carried the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree and flew towards the outside of Black Mountain.
After the other party left, Lin An also took out the Sin-Luring Crystal and dashed into the mountains and forests.
In half an hour, Lin An attracted tens of thousands of Sin Beast.
One Saber Slash!
Lin An unleashed his full power once more, unleashing a sword beam a thousand meters long that instantly killed countless Sin Beast.
[You have slain 100,000 Sin Beast. Congratulations on obtaining a new title: Hundred Thousand Sin Slaughter.]
[Player detected to possess the title ' First Blood '. The 'Hundred Thousand Sin Slaughter' title has been automatically merged, and your title ' First Blood ' has been upgraded.]
[ First Blood ]: A unique title across the entire server, increasing damage dealt to Sin Beast by 25% and critical hit chance by 5%.
"Added a critical hit bonus?"
Lin An's eyes lit up.
There's no critical hit attribute on the panel, but critical hits do exist.
For example, attacking a target's weak point can easily result in a critical hit.
However, the title now grants a 5% increase in critical hit chance, meaning that even if he doesn't attack the target's weak point, he still has a chance to deal critical hit damage.
"With my current combat strength, even Platinum First Grade or Rank 2 expert shouldn't be able to withstand my full power."
"What if I get a critical hit..."
Lin An smiled, but his hands didn't stop moving. Since he had nothing else to do, killing more Sin Beast would help him level up his title faster.
It took Lin Xiao more than five hours of searching before he finally found Lin An.
"You really can't stay idle," Lin Xiao said.
"Anyway, nothing's wrong."
Lin An smiled and asked, "Have the corpses of the Sin Beast all been disposed of?"
"Yes, I had Elder Qian and the others come along to escort these Sin Beast back with us," Lin Xiao nodded.
The other five Sin Beast were all quite large, and even if he were a Platinum Realm expert, it would be impossible for him to bring them all back at once.
Lin An nodded, then killed thousands of Sin Beast with another slash before leaving with Lin Xiao.
Upon arriving outside Black Mountain, Qian Hai and his group were already waiting. One carriage after another escorted the Sin Beast towards Shenglin City.
When they returned to Shenglin City Shenglin City, the streets were already packed with people, who cheered when they saw the enormous Sin Beast.
"The city lord is too amazing; he actually slew so many Sin Beast."
"I heard that these Sin Beast had all reached the Gold Realm and were the overlords of Black Mountain, but now they have all been killed by the City Lord."
"When the city lord returned carrying a giant tree over a hundred meters long, I was quite startled, thinking that Sin Beast had come to attack the city."
"That must be the young city lord. I heard he's already reached the Gold Realm, and he's accompanying the city lord into Black Mountain to slay the Sin Beast."
"That's great! With the City Lord and Young City Lord in charge, our Shenglin City no longer needs to worry about the Sin Beast Invasion."
"..."
Cheers erupted from both sides of the street, and the prestige of the City Lord's Residence reached its peak at this moment.
Amidst the cheers of countless people, everyone returned to the City Lord's Residence.
Lin Xiao was busy dealing with the corpses of the Sin Beast, while Lin An returned to his quiet room in his courtyard.
"The crisis in Shenglin City has now been resolved. Although there are still many Sin Beast in Black Mountain, they are no longer a threat. They can be gradually eliminated later."
"I've accomplished my first goal since returning from this rebirth. Now I can focus on quiet cultivation and strive to break through to the Platinum Realm as soon as possible so I can head to the Upper City."
Thinking this, Lin An's mind stirred, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand, containing the spiritual liquid he had obtained from the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree.
Upon opening the jade bottle, a refreshing and pleasant fragrance wafted out, and Lin An immediately consumed it.
As the cultivation technique was activated, the power within the spiritual liquid was rapidly refined and transformed into his own spiritual energy.
"It's truly a valuable item; it's several times faster than refining pills."
Lin An's face lit up with joy. With the help of this spiritual liquid, his cultivation level would be able to improve rapidly.
"But it can be even faster."
Lin An took out a 10x Cultivation Card and used it immediately.
[You have used 10x Cultivation Card. Your training speed will be increased tenfold for 24 hours.]
A pop-up window appears, displaying a 24-hour countdown.
Lin An nodded in satisfaction and entered into cultivation.
