Chapter 343 - Huge Wind Spirit Stone
Long Chen rushed over to the skeleton and found that its clothes had long since rotted and its bones had weathered. He didn’t know if it was the previous disciple or it was earlier.
What surprised Long Chen was that one of his fingerbones had disappeared. That spot should be where he wore his spatial ring.
"The ring has been taken away, and the marks are new. The footprints are also new. Someone actually entered this place?"
Long Chen was somewhat shocked. He hadn’t thought that other than himself, there would actually be someone else who would come in. This shouldn’t be a reckless approach.
Taking a closer look at the surroundings, it shouldn’t be one person, but two or three.
“It looks like there’s more than one person who has tricks up their sleeves!”
Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh. Since he was able to enter, others might have some amazing methods. It seemed like this solo food wasn’t that easy to eat.
"Phew!"
Just as he was sighing with emotion, the wind suddenly howled as something flew towards Long Chen like a cannonball, without the slightest forewarning.
Dragon carriage was surprised. He quickly dodged to avoid the attack but found out that the attack was made out to be a stone.
"Wind Spirit Stone?"
Long Chen suddenly realized that the rock was actually the wind spirit stone that Xu Yang had shown him. He hastily reached out to grab it.
Turning his head to look, he only saw a haze that obscured his vision. He had no idea where this Wind Spirit Stone came from, nor did he sense any killing intent from it.
Thinking about it, if they wanted to kill someone, no one would be stupid enough to use a Wind Spirit Stone like this as a secret weapon.
"Could it be that there is something strange in this valley?" will they fly to the outside? "
Long Chen looked at the Wind Spirit Stone in his hand and discovered that it wasn’t too different in size from Xu Yang’s. However, he could clearly feel that the wind energy contained within it was a bit purer.
Xu Yang said that he found the Wind Spirit Stone outside of the valley. Could this thing have flown out of the valley?
“There’s one more!”
Long Chen spread out his divine sense and instantly covered a radius of several hundred meters. He immediately felt a fluctuation that was exactly the same as the wind stone in his hand.
He hastily rushed over to take a look and saw a Wind Spirit Stone lying quietly on the ground under a pile of weeds.
“There’s more over there!”
Long Chen couldn’t help but rejoice as he dug out another Wind Spirit Stone from a thin piece of soil. This caused Long Chen to be overjoyed.
To Tang Wan’er, this thing was simply a gift from heaven. If she could understand the profound meaning of the Wind Element through the Wind Spirit Stone, then her wind blade would become extremely terrifying.
Long Chen felt a bit regretful. He had walked so far just now and was too busy searching for medicinal ingredients, so he hadn’t noticed anything on the soil. He must have missed out on a lot of these Wind Spirit Stones.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too late for Long Chen to awaken. He activated his soul force and advanced forwards. Regardless of whether it was precious medicines or wind spirit stones, they were all stored in his bag.
When a fork in the road appeared in front of him, Long Chen discovered that there was a trace of a trail that led him in a certain direction.
“I reckon their luck is even worse. They don’t even recognize some precious medicines, and I don’t think they met any Wind Spirit Stones.”
Long Chen had harvested eight Wind Spirit Stones along the way. Although there were a few traces of digging, Long Chen had still harvested a dozen or so rare medicines. They were definitely the ones that had been left behind without recognition.
Long Chen planted another Soul Guiding Pill at this intersection and headed in another direction. Long Chen didn’t like to pick up dog dregs from others.
As Long Chen went deeper and deeper, more and more precious medicines appeared. Over ten thousand precious medicines filled up more than half of his ring, causing Long Chen to feel as if he were a beggar that had fallen into a vaults of gold.
After advancing for another three days, Long Chen didn’t even know how many valleys he had walked through. Since there were over a hundred types of rare herbs, Long Chen had no choice but to place some of the cheaper herbs into his Space Ring.
Long Chen’s heart ached. If these medicinal plants were placed in an interspatial ring, it wouldn’t be long before they died.
One had to know that if these medicinal herbs were alive, their value would at least double that of a dead one.
That was because many large sects had their own medicinal fields to cultivate. These precious medicinal plants could be sold to them as seeds.
As for those sects, even if they were to spend several times the price, they would still want to buy these living medicinal ingredients and plant them within their sects.
One had to know that they might be at a disadvantage in the beginning, but as time went by, after a few decades or a hundred years, those precious medicines would start to reproduce, and they would start to earn money as long as the herbs did not die.
So, there were many living precious medicines that were priceless in the outside world. Every time a living precious medicine appeared, it would stir up a ruckus within the large schools.
But there was nothing he could do about it. The space of his life ring was limited, so he couldn’t store that many precious herbs. Long Chen could only place a portion of the precious herbs into his spatial ring. In fact, Long Chen’s heart was bleeding.
However, in the past few days, Long Chen had not only obtained precious medicines, but also more than 130 Wind Spirit Stones. This was an astonishing number. Long Chen discovered that the further he went, the better the quality of Wind Spirit Stones would be.
"Hmm? “There’s wind!”
Long Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks with a surprised expression on his face. He could feel the power of the wind, but what was strange was that even though there was wind, the mist was not affected at all. It was still floating in the air.
"Phew!"
Another Wind Spirit Stone flew out from the haze and headed straight for Long Chen, who extended his hand to grab it.
"Pa!"
Long Chen grabbed the Wind Spirit Stone. However, after grabbing the Wind Spirit Stone, his hand slightly sank.
"What great power!"
Long Chen was slightly surprised. He had entered the Altering Muscle stage, and the strength of his body could be said to have reached an almost abnormal level.
Even if it was a full powered blow from a core disciple, it might not even be enough to make his palm sink. It was clear how strong this Wind Spirit Stone was.
"What a pure wind energy!"
Long Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the energy contained within this Wind Spirit Stone was several times purer than before.
Even if it was in his hand, he could see that the space surrounding the Wind Spirit Stone was warping due to the power it contained.
"There must be something strange inside!"
Long Chen put away the Wind Spirit Stone and continued forward. The further he went, the more Long Chen felt a strong wind.
The gentle breeze turned into a strong wind. The further one went, the stronger the wind became. In the end, the howling wind became so strong that it was difficult to open one’s eyes.
At this time, the valley no longer had any vegetation and was completely barren. Long Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that there were quite a few Wind Spirit Stones lying on the ground.
With a single glance, he could see more than a dozen of them. Long Chen couldn’t help but be ecstatic as he hastily ran forward and stored the Wind Assay Stones into his spatial ring.
“I’m rich, I’m definitely rich!”
Long Chen spread out his Spiritual Sense and found that within the range of his Spiritual Sense, there were hundreds of Wind Spirit Stones. This almost made Long Chen cry out in excitement.
The Wind Spirit Stone contained a strong wind energy. Apart from being used by a Wind Spirit Master, he was also an energy ore with a wide range of uses.
It was the source of energy for all kinds of flying tools. However, only those poor bumpkins who only had money could use wind stones to load their flying tools.
In any case, the Mysterious Sky School wasn’t that strong, so they definitely wouldn’t waste such precious crystals on transportation.
After half a day of intense effort, Long Chen had collected over eight thousand Wind Spirit Stones. This made Long Chen feel as if he were in a dream.
But at the same time that he was excited, Long Chen discovered that the further he went, the stronger the wind became. Even Long Chen had to circulate his spiritual energy in order to stabilize himself.
A terrifying gale could easily destroy a city wall. The surrounding ground had become as smooth as a mirror because of the constant baptism of the gale, and the two sides of the valley had also become completely bare. No matter if it was the ground or the valley, nothing could be placed further ahead.
However, Long Chen was already walking forward. He wanted to see what was going on. Where did this frightening wind come from?
After walking a dozen or so miles, Long Chen couldn’t stand still at all. He had no choice but to take out Zhan Xie. With the terrifying power of Zhan Xie, Long Chen finally felt as if he wouldn’t be blown away.
After walking a few miles, the wind was like a blade as it cut through Long Chen’s clothes. Even with Long Chen’s tough body, he still felt a sharp pain on his face as if he were being cut by a knife.
However, at this time, Long Chen saw a scene. Despite Long Chen’s fearless nature, his expression couldn’t help but change.
At the end of the valley was an open area with a circumference of a hundred miles. In the middle of this empty area was a short mountain peak that was only about one hundred feet tall.
The short mountain was like a bamboo shoot that had grown up from the ground. To Long Chen’s horror, the short mountain was formed from countless wind element stones.
However, the entire small mountain seemed to have been cast with countless wind stones, making it look extremely strange.
The thing that attracted Long Chen the most was that there was an enormous body of light on the short mountain peak. The frightening wind was emitted by it.
Looking at the glowing object, Long Chen felt as if he was about to stop breathing. It was obviously a huge Wind Spirit Stone.
However, it was different from other Wind Spirit Stones. Its entire body was sparkling and translucent like a diamond. A terrifying wind-type energy was being emitted from its body.
That huge Wind Spirit Stone was about the size of a table. Even from thousands of feet away, Long Chen still felt a sense of extreme danger.
Long Chen even suspected that if he approached the huge Wind Spirit Stone, he would be shaken into a bloody pulp by the terrifying energy.
"What should we do?"
Long Chen couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Just what kind of person was Long Chen? If he didn’t take the treasure, it would be like scratching his heart and scratching his liver.
However, this huge Wind Spirit Stone in front of him was too terrifying. With his current strength, he could not handle this powerful treasure.
Yet, to give up just like that, that was most definitely not Long Chen’s style. How could he allow a treasure to remain here all alone? This was a form of blasphemy, and Long Chen would never allow such a thing to happen.
Long Chen slowly approached the huge Wind Spirit Stone. When he was within a thousand feet of it, the pressure on his body increased.
Taking a deep breath, Long Chen didn’t choose to continue approaching. Instead, he used an arc to observe his surroundings.
“Yi, there’s actually another small mountain!”
Long Chen was stunned. He hadn’t thought that there would be a small mountain hidden behind the small mountain made of Wind Spirit Stones.
However, when Long Chen clearly saw the whole appearance of that small mountain, Long Chen’s face instantly turned as pale as a piece of paper.
