Chapter 217: Chapter 217 - Striking It Rich, Over 100 Natural Treasures

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Rumble!!!

In the endless void, countless world fragments made of eternal sand floated about.

Countless ruins were hidden within.

Moments later, blood clouds that stretched billions of meters gathered at the top of all the world fragments.

The sea of clouds raged like a roaring thunder dragon.

The blood-colored lightning clouds were like a swarm of locusts as it swarmed over.

Crack—

Everything in the sky was swallowed by the blood-colored lightning clouds, crushed, and shattered into nothingness.

In the ruins, Lin Hai and the others who were cultivating were directly pressed to the ground by the terrifying pressure. Not to mention breaking through, even their ability to think was interfered with.

“My god, this is the Blood God Lightning Tribulation. This is a tribulation that can only be encountered when a top-notch false Golden Core realm cultivator makes a breakthrough. Why would it appear now?” Little White was dumbfounded.

Even it might not be able to survive a lightning tribulation of this level.

“Don’t talk. Why do I feel like the blood cloud is looking for something? Its scanning waves have swept over our heads several times.”

Lord Zi Yang had a suspicious look on his face as he glanced at the arrogant Lin Ye.

Was it him?!!

A thought flashed across his mind.

On the other side, Little White seemed to have realized something as well. It stared at Lin Ye in a daze.

“Why are you two looking at me?” Lin Ye turned around and smiled.

“Sect Master, the blood cloud outside is looking for you?” Lord Zi Yang forced himself to calm down and asked.

Such a matter was basically only known by the person undergoing tribulation.

“I think so. I broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement, which translates to the Class 6 threshold of the cultivation system in the outside world. Something mysterious has told me about it.” Lin Ye smiled nonchalantly.

As he spoke, rumbling thunder exploded.

As if locking onto the location of the ruin, blood-colored lightning fell from the sky.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A huge commotion broke out outside the remains as a large number of golden spirit patterns appeared.

Among them was a black waning dragon spirit that let out an ear-splitting roar at the billions of blood clouds.

After a long stalemate, the blood cloud seemed to be tired of killing.

Perhaps it was because the tribulation clouds had a fixed amount of lightning, but it ended its rally after striking down a while.

When the blood clouds disappeared, Lord Zi Yang’s face turned pale and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of spiritual light.

This was the spirit blood of a spirit body.

It looked invisible but was especially precious. Every mouthful of it contained his soul fragments.

If he vomited too much of this, he might become a fool.

“Senior, are you alright?” Lin Ye was shocked.

“No, I’m fine. However, if Sect Master were to do it again, I’m afraid you’ll have to bury my corpse.” Zi Yang’s face was as pale as paper as he said with a miserable smile.

Lin Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Lord Zi Yang could still speak.

It was fine as long as he didn’t die.

However, in the blink of an eye, he shook his head and sighed. “What a pity. I was still thinking of breaking through one more class.”

“!!!” The corners of Lord Zi Yang’s mouth twitched as he wanted to say something rude.

“Senior’s injuries look serious. I owe you a favor this time. Don’t worry. Tomorrow, I’ll get you a carrier. When you’re revived, I’ll get Tru to invite you to the underworld to experience the nightlife there. It’s awesome.” Lin Ye winked, showing an expression that all men understood.

“Sect Master, can I treat this as a promise?”

Lord Zi Yang’s eyes turned green. Then, he saw Little White’s disdainful gaze and realized that he had lost himself for a moment.

He coughed lightly and hid it. “I’m mainly curious about these special industries. Yes, purely curious.”

“Understood.”

Lin Ye smiled and pointed at Lin Hai and the others who were gradually regaining their freedom. “What about them? Can they still break through to Class 5?”

“As long as they’re not a genius on the same level as Sect Master, it shouldn’t be a problem for a few hundred thousand of them to break through to Class 5 in here.”

Lord Zi Yang said generously.

“Alright, I’ll send an army of 100,000 in here later. I’ll leave this matter to you guys.” Lin Ye was overjoyed.

“I…” Lord Zi Yang stumbled and almost fell.

Looking at Lin Ye’s silhouette, he wanted to cry but no tears flowed out.

Lin Ye didn’t care about this. In any case, he would definitely bring an army of 100,000 in here to break through. The spiritual energy here was much stronger than the outside world. When it came to cultivation, the cultivation speed in here was like riding a rocket. He would be a bastard for not taking advantage of this situation. He immediately waved his hand and said, “Lin Hai, all of you, come here.”

“My lord, what happened just now? I was about to break through when I was forced back by that spiritual pressure.” Lin Hai asked suspiciously.

“Yes, it’s too scary. I even feel like my consciousness is being suppressed. I can’t imagine what happened.” This was Li Xinyi. She was about to break through to the next class, but she was interrupted like Lin Hai.

“It’s a small matter. I merely did an experiment.” Lin Ye smiled and casually made an excuse.

“The place where I just cultivated can speed up your cultivation by more than ten times. Since we have time now, hurry up and break through.”

“Ten times?!!” Upon hearing this, the eyes of Li Xinyi and the rest lit up.

All of them rushed over eagerly.

Soon, screams rang out continuously.

“My god, the concentration of spiritual energy here is so high that it is about to turn into liquid!”

“This is… this is the aura of a top-grade spirit stone. Oh, but the energy level has dropped to that of a high-grade now.”

“So be it if it’s a high-grade one. The effect will also far exceed a low-grade one!”

“And this smell of incense. It’s so magical. I feel like I’m going to transcend just by smelling it. It feels so good!”

….

Amidst the chattering, the group entered the cultivation space.

From the looks of it, it would take at least two to four hours for the entire core team to break through. As for Bai Yitong and Wang Qiang, who were still in the Inheritance Pagoda.

They should take a while longer. He wouldn’t be able to see them in the short term.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye looked at Little White and said, “I’ll leave first later. Is there anything I can take from the Mechanical Beast Sect?”

“Of course.”

Little White nodded. “You are the acting Sect Master now. All the mechanical beasts below Class 5 in the Beast Pagoda will be under your command.”

“Class 5? This means that I have mechanical beasts under my control that are at Class 5!!” Lin Ye was excited.

Level 5 was the limit of the first zombie wave, and there were many Class 5 mechanical beasts in the Beast Pagoda.

100xReward.

Oh my god, the outcome was going to be incredible.

“Yes, but don’t be too happy too soon, Sect Master. We have many Class 5 mechanical beasts, but we don’t have many spirit stones. Regarding spirit stones, we can only provide you with 100,000 low-grade spirit stones at most. As for the rest, you need to think of something yourself,” Little White said.

“Enough, that’s enough. Thank you so much!” Lin Ye laughed loudly and said excitedly, “Let’s go, let’s go. Hurry up and bring me to get the mechanical beasts. That’s right, the incense I used when I was cultivating just now was quite useful. Give me a hundred and eighty of them. I’ll continue using them when we get back.”

“I!!”

Before Little White could say anything, Lord Zi Yang staggered and fell to the ground.

“Senior, are you alright?”

Lin Ye frowned. Could it be that his injuries had worsened?

“No, cough cough. But Sect Master, please don’t say such things in the future. I can’t stand it.” Lord Zi Yang couldn’t help but sight.

“Is it very valuable?” Only then did Lin Ye come to a realization.

“Of course it’s valuable. That incense just now cost at least 100 top-grade spirit stones.” Lord Zi Yang said a shocking number.

100 top-grade spirit stones was equivalent to 10,000 high-grade, 1,000,000 mid-grade, and 100,000,000 low-grade spirit stones.

This was equivalent to spending 100 million gold coins in the Nine States.

No, it should be tens of billions. A spirit stone should be worth at least 100 yuan.

If he calculated it this way, the price would be too high.

However, to Lord Zi Yang’s surprise, not only did Lin Ye not show a pained expression, he even rejoiced. “Senior, quick, give me a few more sticks of incense. Hurry, I’m rich, I’m rich, hahaha.”

“Sect Master, don’t you understand what I mean?” Lord Zi Yang was a little dissatisfied.

This new Sect Master was good at everything, so why didn’t he know how to be thrifty? He had given the Sect Master an opportunity to use it on account of this was his first time cultivating the White Emperor Heaven Splitting Technique.

But what did the Sect Master mean when he said that he wanted more? The wealth of the Mechanical Beast Sect was not something that came easily. The previous Sect Master was unwilling to use one of it even until his death.

Yet, this acting Sect Master asked for more the moment he finished using one. He even asked for a few sticks at a time.

“I understand. Don’t ask why. I’ll return it to you later.” Lin Ye’s eyes lit up as he urged.

“Will you really return it to me?” Lord Zi Yang raised his voice in doubt.

“It’s not like I can beat you here. Hurry up. Also, bring me the spirit stones. What are you looking at? As the Sect Master, even if I’m just the acting Sect Master, don’t I have such benefits? Shouldn’t I get one top-grade spirit stone a day?” Lin Ye said confidently.

“Take it that I’m afraid of you.” Lord Zi Yang shook his head and snapped his fingers.

As the light fell, one could vaguely see that the brand new building that appeared in front of them was the complete opposite of the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion.

This building was carved meticulously. The tiles, golden pillars, and windows were all made of top-class luxury goods.

“Treasure Pavilion?”

Looking at the three large words at the main entrance, Lin Ye’s heart thumped. He asked, “Little White, as the Sect Master, does this Treasure Pavilion belong to me?”

“That won’t do. This will have to wait until you become the true Sect Master.” Little White shook its head repeatedly.

Good lord, he had yet to officially take up his post but he was already squandering. How could it allow him to do that?

“Stingy.” Lin Ye rolled his eyes. He had made up his mind. Not giving it to him? But he could borrow it, right?

They were family. At most, he would use his left hand to get the hundredfold reward before returning it to them.

Whoosh—

Soon, Lord Zi Yang returned with a pale gold space ring in his hand.

He reluctantly handed it to Lin Ye and said, “Sect Master, there are more than 3,000 Class 5 mechanical beasts here, as well as 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, a piece of top-grade spirit stone, and 10,000 Level 4 spirit talismans. Take it that I, Old Zi, am giving you some special benefits.”

“Where’s the incense?!” Lin Ye blinked. This was the main event, and it was worth 100 top-grade spirit stones.

After his 100xReward, it would be 10,000 top-grade spirit stones.

No, he promised to take a few, so that would be tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones.

His eyes burned at the thought.

“There’s not much left, only three. I’ve already said that you have to return them to me after looking at them.” Lord Zi Yang said warily.

“No problem!” Lin Ye agreed.

With that, Lord Zi Yang flipped his palm, and three incense sticks that emitted four colors appeared.

It was the same as the one that he had lit previously. He handed it over.

“You have obtained three mid-grade natural treasures—Heaven God Incense!”

100xReward.

1. 100 sticks of Heaven God Incense

2. 1 high-grade natural treasure—1 stick of Goddess’ Incense

3. Random rare natural treasure
