Chapter 624: Chapter 624: A Wide Variety of Things
In short, the cave-dwelling was virtually teeming with treasures in all shapes and sizes, offering something for every persuasion.
Lin Yi’s eyes went wide at the sight, wishing he could haul everything here back with him.
“This Black Mountain demon is simply too wealthy!” Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel profoundly moved.
You have to understand that the elixirs Lin Yi carried were at least of the Nascent Soul Stage, a kind not particularly rare, yet still immensely precious, and beyond the reach of ordinary Body Refinement Cultivators.
But now, in the lair of the Black Mountain demon, there was an abundance of such coveted elixirs.
This Black Mountain demon was indeed overtaken by greed.
...
Lin Yi thought to himself secretly.
As Lin Yi rummaged through the belongings of the Black Mountain demon, he quickly looted some treasure.
However, Lin Yi’s looting was not without cost, as he needed to pay a price, like handing over a century-old Black Lotus.
Lin Yi took out a century-old Black Lotus and handed it to Zhang Fei.
“Junior Brother Lin, what’s this?” Zhang Fei asked in surprise, not quite understanding Lin Yi’s gesture.
“Take this Black Lotus and consume it. I believe that with your talent and resources, you will certainly break through to the Nascent Soul Realm,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“Black Lotus?!,” Zhang Fei exclaimed with his mouth agape, “Junior Brother Lin, where did you find such an amazing thing?”
“Well, Senior Brother Zhang, I’ll be frank with you. I entered the cave dwelling of the Black Mountain demon from outside and obtained a lot of treasures, so I collected some to give to you,” Lin Yi said as he handed over the Black Lotus.
“Wow, Junior Brother Lin, you’re really incredible to have such a heaven-defying opportunity. I’m so envious! If I had as great fortune as you, I probably would have broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm long ago,”
Zhang Fei said enviously, his eyes full of longing and admiration.
“Alright, alright, stop flattering me now. I’ve got things to do. I’ll take my leave,” Lin Yi said, waving his hand and turning to leave.
“Hey, Junior Brother Lin, wait for me.”
Zhang Fei hastily followed after him.
“Senior Brother Zhang, I’ve still got things to attend to. Let’s chat another day.”
Zhang Fei, with no other choice, shook his head helplessly and followed Lin Yi back.
Upon returning to the cave dwelling of the Black Mountain demon, the two resumed their search.
“Eh?! There’s a piece of black jade here!”
“This black jade is rather peculiar!”
“Eh? What’s that?”
“The surface of this black jade seems to contain an exceptionally dense spiritual energy!”
Lin Yi discovered a piece of black jade, which was pitch-black as ink, radiating a thick, black glow.
“What kind of black jade is this?”
“So strange! This black glow seems to have a demonic nature!”
Lin Yi remarked in astonishment as he looked at the black jade.
“Don’t know, I’ve never seen such black stones either,” Zhang Fei shook his head, clueless about what it was. However, this black stone seemed to be beneficial to his physical body as well, and he also desired to claim it.
“`
“Junior Brother Lin, this black stone is also useful to me. Do you think this stone has any effect?” Zhang Fei inquired.
“Hmm, this stone is beneficial for you, it is called a Heavenly Thunder Stone, which can attract heavenly tribulation, benefiting your physical cultivation,” Lin Yi explained, and then added, “However, I advise you to give it up. This stone is too valuable; it’s simply not something a cultivator of my cultivation can possess.”
Upon hearing these words from Lin Yi, Zhang Fei was momentarily stunned, feeling very disappointed; he hadn’t expected the black stone to be so powerful.
But then again, it made sense. How could anything referred to as a treasure by the old demon of Black Mountain be ordinary? It was no wonder Lin Yi had said so.
“I’ll take this black stone then, thank you, Junior Brother Lin.”
“Sure, Senior Brother Zhang. You take it. This stone doesn’t have much effect on you, and I don’t want to take advantage of you,” Lin Yi said, shaking his head.
“Alright, since Junior Brother Lin is so generous, I’ll accept it,” Zhang Fei said with a relieved smile and then stored the black stone away.
As the two continued their search for treasures on their journey, they finally reached the cave dwelling of the old demon of Black Mountain after half a day.
Protected by a barrier, they could only observe the cave from a distance.
Countless Spirit Grasses and some materials hung on the walls of the cave dwelling.
Inside the cave, there were many spiritual beasts, some of low rank, some of intermediate rank, and some of high rank; there were even a few Demon Beasts.
Seeing these spiritual beasts and Demon Beasts, Lin Yi couldn’t help but marvel at the wealth of the old demon of Black Mountain, owning so many high-rank spiritual beasts and Demon Beasts.
In the cave dwelling of the old demon of Black Mountain, there were also Pill Furnaces, Magic Artifacts, and other items, some of which Lin Yi had previously acquired.
“Senior Brother Zhang, there are some Elixirs here; take them for your own use,” Lin Yi said, handing several bottles of Elixirs to Zhang Fei.
“Junior Brother Lin, how could I accept this? I came here just to help you refine the black stone; it’s rightfully yours since you obtained it,” Zhang Fei hastily declined.
“Haha, Senior Brother Zhang, don’t be polite. I acquired these from the cave dwelling of the old demon of Black Mountain. You can take them without any reservations. Moreover, you should keep these Elixirs for your own refinement; they will help with your cultivation,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
After thinking it over, Zhang Fei felt that Lin Yi had a point and accepted his gift.
“Well then, Junior Brother Lin, I shall gratefully accept.”
“Haha, Senior Brother Zhang, let’s go in.”
Entering the cave dwelling, they found a small square surrounded by a variety of weapons: swords, knives, axes, bows and arrows, hammers, and more.
“Junior Brother Lin, you take your time to choose; I’ll stand guard outside,” Zhang Fei said before retreating from the cave dwelling to stand at the entrance, vigilantly watching for any creature that approached.
Just as Zhang Fei stepped out of the cave dwelling, he noticed a three-meter-long black Flood Dragon nearby, its body pitch-black as ink, with three pairs of giant fleshy wings gliding within the cave dwelling.
This three-meter-long black Flood Dragon had reached the Seventh Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Spotting the black Flood Dragon, Zhang Fei was shocked and thought, “The old demon of Black Mountain, damn it, this serpent is his spirit pet!”
Seeing this three-meter-long black Flood Dragon, Zhang Fei was horrified and hastily retreated out of the cave dwelling.
“Roar!”
No sooner had Zhang Fei retreated from the cave dwelling than he heard a roar from within, and the black Flood Dragon pounced at him with incredible speed.
“This black Flood Dragon is a spirit pet, but its combat power is not weak; its attack power can even be compared to a cultivator at the peak of the Ninth Level of the Nascent Soul Realm!” Seeing the Flood Dragon lunging at him, Zhang Fei was shocked, his face turning pale.
“Run!”
The thought flashed through Zhang Fei’s mind, and he immediately turned and ran, sprinting toward the distance. He dared not clash head-on with the black Flood Dragon, not believing himself to be its match, so he could only flee.
