第一千六百二十章 大收获与短暂停留

Feeling the abundant fire essence energy within, Lin Xuan's eyes flickered with a hint of fervor.

The exact age of this item was hard to pinpoint, but roughly estimating, it must have been at least two or thirty thousand years old.

Lin Xuan reached out and gently stroked the surface of the treasure, a warmth passing through his palm into his dantian.

His eyes flashed with an unusual light as he felt both joy and surprise. This ten-thousand-year-old fire coral was older than he had imagined. Even if used for refining celestial treasures, it would be more than sufficient.

Logically speaking, its spirit intelligence shouldn't have been comparable to a puppy's.

Could it be... A thought raced through Lin Xuan's mind. The only possibility was that this fire coral wasn't just any ordinary treasure; it was of extremely high quality. Generally, the higher the quality of a treasure, the harder it was to make it sentient.

With a smile on his lips, Lin Xuan began carefully extracting the treasure. The process wasn’t complicated and wouldn’t take long.

Soon, he had the fire coral in his palm.

"Wang wang."

A white light flashed as the puppy reappeared, staring at him with big eyes, its expression filled with longing. Drool dripped from its mouth.

The puppy's intention was clear. Lin Xuan shook his head; dealing with this gluttonous creature was a challenge. But he had no intention ofshirk payment (defaulting on payment).

That small thing really wasted the resource, swallowing the crystal whole like a giant date fruit.

But the puppy seemed to enjoy it, its eyes closed in pleasure. Its white fur even turned slightly red, resembling a drunk human. It wobbled and stumbled, barely able to stand.

Lin Xuan sighed, bent down to pick up the puppy, and with another flash of white light, he integrated it into the ten-thousand-year-old fire coral.

Later, Lin Xuan took out an jade box, placed the treasure inside, affixed twoprohibition seal talisman (restraining talismans), and put it in his waistband.

A green glow enveloped him as he flew off.

The space remained unchanged, still a white expanse with no alterations.

Lin Xuan hovered mid-air, closed his eyes, and released his spirit sense. After a full quarter of an hour, he opened his eyes again.

There were no other discoveries, but Lin Xuan wasn't disappointed. Hisharvest (gains) had been rich enough; originally, the goal was just to find the ten-thousand-year-old fire coral, but unexpectedly, he discovered traces of the Moon Black tribe's ruins: a ring, ice marrow, and ten-thousand-year-old cold energy.

Even if any one of these wasn't as good as the fire coral, they were still comparable. What more could he want?

After thoroughly searching without finding anything missing, Lin Xuan left the place.

A white light flashed, and he appeared above the magical array.

Next, he searched through the Moon Black tribe's palace again but found nothing new.

However, this time, he didn't leave immediately.

After a moment of hesitation, he reached out and snapped his fingers. A blank storage bag appeared before him.

He opened it, aimed at the statue, and said, "Quick!"

A green glow shot from the bag, wrapped around the statue, and shrunk it into the storage bag.

Although this statue of the celestial witch goddess didn't seem like a treasure, Lin Xuan still took it. The space inside the bag was ample enough.

After leaving the ruins, Lin Xuan searched the entire area but found nothing interesting in the vast underwater realm. He shook his head; pondering ancient matters was futile. Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of lightning and flew toward the surface.

Since there were no dangers, he arrived quickly. Within half an hour, he emerged from the sea.

Sunlight bathed the water's surface, creating shimmering waves. The area was remote, with no signs of cultivation energy within a thousand li.

Thanks to his soul probing technique on the snake demon, Lin Xuan knew where he was.

The chaotic seas were more violent here, but it suited him well. His immediate goal was to find islands where cultivators gathered.

Through soul probing, Lin Xuan discovered several small islands not far away, roughly in the southeast direction.

With this information, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of lightning and flew toward the southeast.

Several hours later, an arc-shaped island came into view.

The island wasn't large; though it lacked cities, there was a bustling market town.

Lin Xuan naturally landed hisfleeing light (concealed light). He needed a map to navigate the chaotic seas. Otherwise, he would be lost in the east or west. Cultivation was nothing but a joke without direction.

For half a day, Lin Xuan rested and replenished supplies at the market town's inn. The market was simple but had everything one might need. Maps were available, and Lin Xuan bought several books detailing the chaotic seas. While he knew some through soul probing, it wasn't detailed enough. He spent more crystal than expected but considered it trivial.

He then went to a winehouse in the market town, ordered a private room, and enjoyed good food while reading the books.

The descriptions were similar to what he had learned from soul probing, just more detailed. The main hall of the Nine Immortals Sect was on a large island, which was vast enough to be considered a small continent rather than an island compared to human regions like Youzhou.

Nearby, there were nearly a hundred islands. Some belonged to the Nine Immortals Sect, while others were controlled by other sects or families. With many outsiders, the chaotic seas were a mix of dragons and snakes.

Here, as long as one had crystal and power, they could live freely, especially in the market town of the Nine Immortal City, where all kinds of materials and treasures from the ruins sea could be found.

Of course, prices were exorbitant. Many treasures could only be obtained through barter with crystals. (To be continued)
