Chapter 541 - 202: Spirit Stone 3
Although Tengshe Mountain has planted a large number of precious herbs, these herbs are of no use to half-demons or even demon martial artists.
It’s simply not worth their time to attack here.
"You go back first, and rest within the magic formation."
"If you can’t hold the area you’re responsible for, just let it go," Gu Ye said.
"Alright."
"Senior Sister, please be extra careful."
Lin Zheyu reminded her, then turned and left.
Without the erosion of demon essence, he felt his body was much more comfortable.
The golden qi blood circulated, and the hideous wound on his back quickly healed.
To show he had narrowly escaped from the half-demon, he deliberately didn’t use source power to recover.
The magic formation on Tengshe Mountain starts from halfway up the mountain and covers the summit.
Lin Zheyu arrived at the halfway point and saw Men Liuyuan standing on the observatory, hands behind his back, looking at the distant sky.
"It’s good that you’re safe."
"Go back and rest well."
Men Liuyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Zheyu.
He saw the distress signal too, but because he had to control the entire magic formation to respond to any crisis, he couldn’t spare his attention.
"Thank you, Uncle, for your concern. It’s just a minor injury, a little rest will do."
"Uncle, hasn’t any strong fighter come to close that temporal node yet?"
Lin Zheyu arrived at the observatory, looking at the sky in the distance that seemed oppressed by dark clouds, and asked softly.
Previously, it was just like a giant black donut cloud, now it’s continuously expanding, covering the whole sky.
"They have arrived."
"At the moment the temporal node was broken, the Observatory detected it."
Men Liuyuan looked at the pitch-black sky and said calmly.
His eyes slightly narrowed, showing some seriousness.
"They’ve arrived?"
Lin Zheyu was a bit surprised.
He had just been chased by demon martial artists and half-demons and hadn’t paid attention to the movements at the temporal node.
But looking from here, he could only see a dark mass, unable to discern what’s happening there.
"Cultivate well, without reaching the Innate Realm, joining in there is nothing but courting death."
Seeing Lin Zheyu’s curiosity about the place, Men Liuyuan spoke up.
"Yes, Uncle."
Lin Zheyu nodded.
He watched for a dozen minutes on the observatory, only able to see occasional flashes of light from the dark clouds, with nothing else visible.
Eventually, Lin Zheyu lost interest.
Leaving the observatory, he returned to his residence.
On the way, he saw no one; everyone had gone to battle. Some injured disciples were sent to the clinic for treatment.
Lin Zheyu returned to his room, closed the door, and finally had the leisure to check the items obtained from that demon martial artist.
From that person, he had gathered three bottles of elixir, two purple egg-sized stones, and some miscellaneous items of no use.
"What are these stones?"
"Spirit stones?"
Lin Zheyu looked at the stones in his hand, guessing silently.
Holding the stone, he could sense the powerful energy within, similar to the spiritual liquid given by Senior Sister Gu Ye.
But aside from the powerful energy, it also contained a rich, sinister evil aura.
This aura was very familiar to Lin Zheyu, it was the power of dark energy.
"This should be the spirit stone that Senior Sister Gu Ye mentioned."
Lin Zheyu concluded.
Zhang Mo, as a demon martial artist, wasn’t afraid of the dark energy inherent in the spirit stones, thus could use them directly.
Other martial artists, even when obtaining spirit stones, couldn’t use them.
They need to extract spiritual liquid from the spirit stone, purify the contained dark energy before use.
"The energy contained in the spirit stone, compared to the bottle of spiritual liquid that Senior Sister Gu Ye gave me, I wonder which is more."
Lin Zheyu pondered.
After studying the spirit stone for a while, there was no discovery.
Lin Zheyu then put away the spirit stone well, planning to use it as energy for source power enhancement once his injuries healed.
"This bottle is for healing elixirs."
"This bottle seems like an elixir similar to Strengthening Elixir."
"Hmm, this bottle of elixir contains rich dark energy aura, somewhat similar to Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder."
"No, the dark energy contained in it is even more intense than in Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder."
After inspecting the three bottles of elixir, Lin Zheyu found the last bottle contained extremely rich dark energy.
The herbs used to refine the elixir must have grown in a place dense with dark energy.
"The elixirs used by these demon martial artists are not of much use to me."
"Next time during source power enhancement, dissolve them all in water as energy for source power enhancement," Lin Zheyu contemplated.
Many useless elixirs obtained from the enemy were handled this way.
After absorbing any useful medicinal power in the elixir, he would discard the leftover residue.
After checking all the items.
Lin Zheyu attended to his wounds, changed his clothes, and went up to the top of Tengshe Mountain.
Although he couldn’t see the battle at the temporal node clearly, he still had a strong curiosity about it.
The distant sky became increasingly darker.
Boom——
From time to time, terrifying rumblings erupted from within, followed by lightning-like flashes slicing through the pitch-black clouds.
Swish——
Suddenly, Lin Zheyu stood up sharply, his eyes widened in astonishment as he looked towards the distant sky.
There, a figure was flying over at an astonishing speed from the sky!
