Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 111 The Treasure Trove of the Earth Demon Old Ghost

"You even know about different kinds of fire? What use would an ice cultivator have to know so much?"

Wang Ming directly took away the Earth Demon Old Ghost's storage ring, and then called out to Hai Bodong.

"Old Hai, come quickly and freeze this guy's remains. The remains of a six-star Dou Zong are a valuable item."

Hai Bodong's lips twitched as he flew over: "I'm like that handyman, being bossed around by you, old man. Seriously, is it really necessary to make such a fuss over a corpse?"

"Hey, it really is that serious. You'll understand why Dou Zong is a dividing line once you reach Dou Zong. Dou Zong remains are valuable items." Wang Ming said with a smile, then looked through the Earth Demon Old Ghost's storage ring.

"Hey! Good stuff! Old Hai, you've struck gold! This old demon is cultivating ice-attribute battle qi, look!" Wang Ming tossed several scrolls filled with icy energy to Hai Bodong.

Hai Bodong was also shocked when he received it: "The intermediate-level Earth-rank cultivation technique 'Thousand Illusions Ice Mirror' and its matching low-level Earth-rank combat skill 'Thousand Illusions Ice Spike', and the high-level Profound-rank combat skill 'Ice Condensation Sword Technique'."

Good heavens! A mid-level Earth-rank combat skill, "Blood-chilling Frostbite." I've struck gold! Hahaha, thank you, Old Man Wang!

Hai Bodong put away these volumes of ice-attribute cultivation techniques and combat skills. When he had free time, he would switch to cultivating techniques and practicing combat skills!

It's no wonder Hai Bodong was so excited. On the Dou Qi Continent, ice Dou Qi, lightning Dou Qi, and wind Dou Qi are all relatively rare Dou Qi. Obtaining these techniques and skills is much more difficult than obtaining fire or water attributes.

Hai Bodong has only cultivated to the point of mastering advanced Xuan-rank techniques and using advanced Xuan-rank combat skills. Advanced Xuan-rank combat skills are already showing signs of fatigue at the Dou Huang level.

Therefore, Hai Bodong created the powerful fighting technique Xuanbing Dragon Soar, and the power of Xuanbing Dragon Soar will increase as Hai Bodong's own strength improves.

Now that he has acquired a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique and an Earth-rank combat skill, Hai Bodong has completely transformed his abilities.

"Hehe, with these, we'll definitely beat that old devil Jia Xingtian to a pulp! We'll make him suppress the Mittel family while I'm away from the capital!"

Hai Bodong felt a surge of joy. Among the Douhuang experts of the Jia Ma Empire, Hai Bodong was not the strongest. He was overshadowed by Yun Shan and Jia Xingtian, and Wang Ming was above him. Only Yun Ji was weaker than him.

Now that Wang Ming and Yun Shan have both broken through to the Dou Zong realm, and Wang Ming is also a seventh-grade alchemist, Hai Bodong plans to follow Wang Ming so that he will also have the opportunity to break through to the Dou Zong realm.

Because of the huge gap between Wang Ming and Yun Shan, Hai Bodong turned his attention to Jia Xingtian, firstly because Jia Xingtian was a troublemaker.

If it weren't for the enemies outside the Jia Ma Empire, Yun Shan and Hai Bodong wouldn't have tolerated him for so long. Now that Yun Shan has broken through to the Dou Zong level, there are no Dou Zongs in the surrounding neighboring countries.

With Yunshan protecting the Jia Ma Empire, that's enough. It's time to settle the score with Jia Xingtian.

"Old man, what are you laughing at? Your smile is so ugly." Zi Yan's crisp voice came, bringing Hai Bodong back to reality from his fantasy.

Hai Bodong noticed the stares around him and felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't care, since all his acquaintances were there anyway.

"Girl, it's up to you now. Your treasure-hunting talent can be put to good use," Xiao Li said with a smile, patting Zi Yan's head.

"You stinky Xiao Li, don't touch my head, or you'll stunt your growth!" Zi Yan said angrily.

At this moment, Demon Flame Valley was in complete chaos. Everyone inside was scattering and fleeing. Their strongest valley master had been killed instantly. Why wouldn't they run away?

The Valley of Demon Flame was already empty without even needing to be cleared out.

After Zi Yan led the way into the depths of Demon Flame Valley, they entered a tunnel. After walking in the tunnel for a few minutes, they saw a stone wall covered with weeds.

Zi Yan looked at the stone wall, clenched her fist, and slammed it directly into the stone wall.

Peng!

Amidst the flying debris, a crack appeared in the stone wall. Zi Yan used her small fists to strike the stone wall again, and after a moment, she forcefully blasted open a tunnel that was ten meters deep. Then, everyone saw a dark, deep hole hidden deep within the stone wall.

"That old devil has been hiding quite well."

The stone wall is just a short tunnel, and at the end of the tunnel is a long stone staircase.

The group slowly descended the stone steps, and after about ten minutes, they reached the end, where a heavy, tightly closed stone door appeared before them.

The stone gate was entirely black, covered with moss, giving it a sense of weight and solemnity.

"Why is it Shimen again? Just how much does this old guy cherish his stuff?" Xiao Li complained.

Zi Yan wanted to rush up and smash the stone door again, but Xiao Li pulled her back.

"Don't act rashly here. If there are any restrictions here, triggering them will destroy everything inside."

"Oh~"

At this moment, Wang Ming stepped forward: "I'll do it."

Wang Ming slowly pressed his palm onto the stone door, closed his eyes, and sensed it for a moment, only to find that there were no restrictions.

Then his eyes suddenly sharpened, and a surge of powerful battle qi erupted from his right hand, slamming fiercely against the stone door.

boom!

Amidst the flying debris, the stone gate shattered instantly and collapsed with a deafening roar. Suddenly, a blinding beam of light burst forth from within.

laugh--

Several cyan flying swords flashed by, cutting the creature behind the stone door into several pieces.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a fifth-tier snake-type magical beast. At this moment, the snake was completely dead. Although its body was still twitching, it had indeed breathed its last.

"How insidious! They actually put a snake here. But what can a mere fifth-tier snake protect?" Yunshan said calmly, and the cyan flying sword at his fingertips disappeared.

Before them stood a rather spacious warehouse. Inside, the lights were extremely glaring. The warehouse was entirely constructed of hard black steel stone, making it appear as if it had been carved out of a black steel stone vein.

"Ink steel stone, this stuff is of good quality and there's so much of it. If we refine it, we should be able to forge a few sturdy weapons."

Elder Hai, Elder Yun, Grandpa, Teacher, do you have any weapons you'd like to have forged?" Xiao Li tapped the black steel stone. Since we're already here, let's pack these things up and take them with us.

At this moment, Wang Ming, Yun Shan, Hai Bodong, and Xiao Ting ignored Xiao Li. Their eyes were all on the shelves in the warehouse. On the shelves, rolls of paper were neatly arranged. On the other side, there were also many crystal cabinets. Inside the cabinets, one could vaguely see many rare medicinal herbs carefully placed.

"That old demon is quite wealthy, no wonder he's been a long-established power in the Black Corner Region for so many years," Wang Ming remarked. He then looked at Yun Shan.

"Old man Yun, how does this old demon's collection compare to your Yunlan Sect's?"

Yunshan's gaze was drawn to several scrolls on the shelf: "Sigh~ The Yunlan Sect has quite a bit of money these days, but the sect's treasury doesn't have this many cultivation techniques and fighting skills. As expected of the Black Corner Region, there are so many good things here."

Xiao Li was completely ignored; only Pei Yuhan, Pei Yurou, and Zi Yan stayed by his side.

"I feel like I've been forgotten. Oh well, whatever. Let's look at the baby."

Xiao Li squeezed in and looked at the steps: "Everything here is categorized. It seems that this old demon is a perfectionist. Everything is arranged so neatly."

There are so many low-level and mid-level Xuan rank cultivators! How should they be categorized?

Xiao Li himself certainly wouldn't care about these Xuan-level items, but he had the Xiao family behind him to support, so the more cultivation techniques and fighting skills he had, the better. The same was true for Yun Shan, who also had a sect behind him, so the more cultivation techniques and fighting skills he had, the better.

Hai Bodong stroked his chin: "How about this, Xiao Li and Old Man Yun, you can pick some good ones and leave them for the Xiao family and Yunlan Sect, and I'll take the rest back to the Mittel family for auction."

"Then how many of us will split the proceeds from the auction? There are a lot of Xuan-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills here; it will take some time to sell them all."

Wang Ming chimed in, "As expected of a businessman, your mind works fast. I think it's fine. Anyway, we don't need these Xuan-level gadgets."

Everyone nodded.
