第三百零四章 玄妙古宝

Mou Mang's eyes showed a hint of shock as he tried to dodge, but Lin Xuan wasn't about to let him. He activated his spell and the black dragon transformed from the Black Tortoise Fan tightly wrapped around Mou Mang.

Boom!

A loud explosion sent a shower of flames across the sky. The Divine Flame God Pearl hit the giant snake with full force.

The fierce snake only gave a short, pained cry before its massive head was reduced to ashes. Its remaining body was engulfed in golden flames and soon turned to ash.

A black beam shot out from the flames, about several inches long, resembling a miniature version of the fierce snake.

"Your soul has left your body. Still trying to escape at this point?"

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile as he flicked his left hand, summoning an ancient jade and releasing dozens of white light threads that formed into a giant white hand, capturing the demon snake's spirit within its palm.

Replenishing the ancient jade once more. Then Lin Xuan reached out with his hand, and the Divine Flame God Pearl flew back to him as the black dragon transformed back into the Black Tortoise Fan.

After storing away the treasures, Lin Xuan walked over to Mou Mang's remains. He waved his sleeve, extinguishing the golden flames, then stretched out his hand, fingers curling to pick up a deep red demon core about the size of a dragon’s eye.

Mou Mang had been a middle-grade third-stage beast, and his demon core was undoubtedly valuable. Lin Xuan took an jade bottle and carefully stored it away. Using his divine sense to scan the ground, he found that most of Mou Mang's body had turned to ash, but some of its back scales and several unknown parts of its bones remained intact.

Lin Xuan knelt down with a curious expression on his face. After absorbing so much of his essence energy, the golden flames released by the Divine Flame God Pearl were far more powerful than pure yang flames. These could be excellent materials for refining treasures.

Lin Xuan gathered everything and began to examine two light-blue and green protective barriers in front of him. The green barrier contained ancient treasures, while the blue one held precious mineral resources.

Even with his calm demeanor, Lin Xuan's heart raced at the sight before him. He was certain that even an old monster at the yuan婴 stage wouldn't have such a wealth.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down.

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and activated his essence energy, emitting a layer of green light on his palm. He then reached towards the barriers.

The moment he touched them, a thick electric beam about an inch wide appeared from the green barrier.

Lin Xuan felt a tingling sensation in his hand before being pushed back.

Frowning but not showing any surprise, Lin Xuan knew that such treasures wouldn't be easily obtained.

After some thought, he cast two spells with both hands and released a sword energy. However, instead of attacking the barriers directly, it intertwined, compressed, and formed into a small cone about a foot long.

"Go!"

Lin Xuan pointed his finger at the barrier, and the small cone shot forward.

A series of explosions echoed as Lin Xuan activated his Nine Heavens Spirit Shield to block the residual shock. The barrier remained intact.

Lin Xuan's face darkened. He tapped his storage pouch and summoned the Divine Flame God Pearl, exhaling a breath of essence energy that turned into pure golden flames, enveloping the protective shield.

A minute passed.

Two minutes went by.

After a stick of incense burned down, Lin Xuan withdrew the Divine Flame God Pearl emotionlessly, raising his hand to reveal a needle about a foot long.

This Green Scales Needle was given to him by an ancestor at the yuan婴 stage. He would test its power now.

He gripped the tail and infused essence energy continuously. Soon, the Green Scales Needle glowed brightly.

"Zhuo!" it transformed into a thin green beam that pierced the barrier.

The needle's power proved formidable; half of it broke through the restrictions. Lin Xuan was elated and continued to activate his spells.

The Green Scales Needle emitted a whirring sound as it shook violently before finally stopping, having only punctured a small hole in the barrier. Even more disappointing was that once inside, he couldn't control its spirit any longer—stealing chickens had cost him an ancient treasure.

Lin Xuan stopped and looked at the barrier with a gloomy expression. The treasures were right there, but how could he obtain them?

However, this barrier truly was extraordinary...

Damn it!

Lin Xuan wouldn't give up. His body emitted black light as his form became strange. Since Nine Heavens Profound Technique didn't work, he would test the powers of the魔道.

Half an hour later…

Lin Xuan panted heavily, nearly losing his mind with frustration. Despite using all his means, not only could he not break the barrier, but it hadn't even weakened at all. Could ordinary cultivators really be helpless against such a barrier?

Lin Xuan's eyes glowed as he kicked out angrily, sending an object about the size of a washbasin flying and crashing into the barrier.

Sss…

A puff of green smoke rose, causing the barrier to shake slightly.

"Hey?" Lin Xuan was surprised. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Could it be...

The object he had kicked was part of Mou Mang's head that had been smashed to pieces. Why did this thing weaken the barrier?

After some contemplation, a hint of joy flashed across Lin Xuan's face as he delved into his storage pouch and retrieved a white jade bottle.

He cast a levitation spell on it and conjured a ghostly claw with essence energy, carefully opening the lid.

Green mist seeped out from inside. This was the green fog obtained after defeating the Luo Family Twin Fiends in Tianmu Mountain, incredibly toxic, a pestilence within itself.

Under Lin Xuan's divine sense, the green mist enveloped the barrier. As soon as it touched the barrier, a puff of green smoke emerged, and the first few wisps dissipated. However, Lin Xuan was pleased, commanding more green fog to rush forward like moths to a flame.

More green smoke rose, but the barrier gradually thinned until its thickness resembled that of a bubble.

Lin Xuan's joy was evident as he quickly sealed the bottle. There was still one barrier left, and this green mist was in short supply; it couldn't be wasted.

Then Lin Xuan raised his hand, forming a sword with his fingers. Essence energy flowed through his body, concentrating all his power at his fingertips, making his palm glow intensely.

He thrust forward, and the barrier flickered as if trying to resist but ultimately broke apart.
