Chapter 216: Great Harvest!

  "Hmph!"

  "Han Feng, you deserve what's ing to you."

  Looking at Han Feng, who was silently r with a fierce expression ihe Bck Pearl, the shadow sneered.

  Although he had no personal grudge against Han Feng, for some reason, the shadow instinctively felt a strong hatred towards those who "betrayed their teachers aroyed their aors."

  Perhaps it had something to do with the many disciples uhe shadow's sect.

  Just imagine, if one of his disciples were to betray their teacher aroy their aors, what would he do?

  No matter where in the world, he would hunt them dounish them severely!

  "Those who betray their teachers aroy their aors should all be killed!"

  With a gleam of intense murderous i in his eyes, the shadow collected the Bck Pearl taining Han Feng's soul.

  Then, the shadow's eyes caught sight of the deep blue s on Han Feng's finger, which emitted a faint blue light. This indicated that this s was different from ordinary low-level ones.

  "No wonder he's the leader of the Bion; he even wears a high-level s."

  The shadow smirked and unceremoniously removed the deep blue s from Han Feng's finger.

  Ss also had different levels of rarity. High-level ss were extremely rare, and even in the Bain's au houses, they were highly sought after. Over the years, the shadow had never worn a high-level s himself and had made do with mediocre low-level ones.

  Previously, the shadow didn't have high requirements for ss because of the existence of the system's space. If something couldn't fit, he could simply store it in the system's space.

  However, ever since he had obtaihe Space Heart from that high-level s he gave to his disciples st time, he had started paying more attention to ss.

  The Space Heart could create spad expand it with the user's strength. Such a valuable item was impossible for the shadow to ignore, even though he already possessed many treasures.

  He specuted that if he were to give this high-level s to one of his disciples, he might gain some extraordinary space-reted treasure iurn.

  With this thought in mind, the shadow was filled with anticipation.

  As he examihe deep blue s in his hand, the shadow's spiritual power tentatively tried to e, but he was surprised to find that the s rebounded his spiritual power.

  "No wo's a high-level s; it has this kind of protective fun."

  With a wry smile, the shadow uood that high-level ss allowed their owo set soul imprints. This meant that even if someone else obtaihe s, they would o erase the soul imprint to access its tents. The owner would be alerted in such a situation. This nearly autonomous prote fun was uo high-level ss and one of the main reasons for their high value.

  Currently, Han Feng was essentially dead, so the shadow had no worries about beied by him.

  Therefore, with a fierce surge of spiritual power, the shadow forcefully erased Han Feng's lingering soul imprint a his own mark. In this way, this high-level s officially ged ownership.

  As the shadow removed the s's imprint, Han Feng's soul within the Bck Pearl seemed to sense something a out another heart-wreng, silent roar.

  The shadow paid no attention to this and was satisfied as he wore the deep blue s on his finger. He then effortlessly allowed his spiritual power to ehe ring.

  The iigation only sted a moment before the shadow slowly withdrew his sciousness from the s. At this moment, there was a hint of undeniable surprise in his eyes.

  Over the years, Han Feng had collected an incredible amount of treasures in the Bain. The s tained numerous rare herbs that were extremely rare outside, and various martial arts and bat skill scrolls were casually pced within it. Clearly, these were items exged by those who sought his alchemical expertise.

  Although the shadow only took a quice, the riess of the tents within the s excited him. This time, with all of Han Feng's wealth and the treasures stored in this deep blue high-level s, it would drive every powerful figure in the Bain crazy.

  "Hehe, no wonder he's a sixth-grade alchemist; he's truly swimming in riches!"

  The shadow chuckled and then suddenly stopped, a hint of frustration on his face.

  Why was he, a seventh-grade alchemist, living in such dire circumstances?

  Why did he have to resort to acts of robbery to achieve his dream of beihy?

  Sighing softly, the shadow transformed into a mysterious bck mist and disappeared into the dense forest.

  ...

  A moment ter, in the same ordinary tavern, the figure of Gu He suddenly appeared out of thin air.

  "Let's take a break for a few days."

  After five secutive days of a, the entire Bain was in chaos. After careful sideration, Gu He decided to temporarily stop his activities.

  While it was good to take advantage of the fusion, it was also easy to get into trouble when stirring up trouble.

  Those who had thrived in the Bain for so many years were not to be uimated.

  Now that they were on guard, it was not suitable for him to tiaking the initiative.

  Therefu He decided to y low for a while and wait for the situation to calm down.

  Moreover, he had been ag uhe identity of Wuhu Hufa for some time now, and he feared that he had attracted the attention of the Soul Pace.

  "Although it's been a bit tough, the harvest has been quite substantial..."

  Thinking of the treasures he had acquired during these days of looting, Gu He's eyes revealed a trace of excitement.

  , Gu He's sciousness ehe system's space, and he began to iory his gains from these days.

  To make it easier to sort through, Gu He categorized all the items he had looted.

  After a moment, all the items were ly anized into piles.

  Among them, the most numerous were spirit herbs and magic cores.

  And then there were magic cores, ons, martial art scrolls, and more...

  After categorizing everything into piles, Gu He began to t one pile at a time.

  Naturally, his first choice was his favorite, spirit herbs.

  Looking at the piles of spirit herbs stacked like small mountains before him, Gu He felt a sense of aplishment.

  From now on, he could finally have the freedom to use spirit herbs as he pleased.

  These spirit herbs were gathered from the colles of six major powers, including Han Feng, the Medie Emperor. The variety of herbs was enough to dazzle anyone. Even with Gu He's strong herb identification skills, it took nearly half an hour to t most of the spirit herbs.

  , he started naming each precious spirit herb aloud.

  The herbs he recited were at least of the sixth or seventh grade, and he suddenly stopped at a snow-white jade stone, narrowing his eyes.

  "Is this... Earth Core Jade Mother?"

  The object was about half a yard tall and as wide as an arm's length. Such a rge piece of Earth Core Jade Mother was extremely rare iside world.

  Earth Core Jade Mother was a miraculous jade formed by the densation of the Earth's energy over tless years. Due to its uability and thiess, this Earth Core Jade Mother recious item for cultivators. When used in cultivation or alchemy, having a seat cushion made of Earth Core Jade Mother would signifitly suppress the violent energy within the body. With this item, the ces of going berserk during cultivation would be greatly reduced.

  This effect was somewhat simir to the Lotus Seat that Gu He had obtained when he acquired the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire. However, the Earth Core Jade Mother was even more valuable in parison.

  "Hehe, a truly remarkable treasure!"

  Looking at the size of the Earth Core Jade Mu He couldn't help but nod in approval. He withdrew his hand, only to find that it was covered in a sticky, faint jade liquid.

  "This..."

  Staring at the sticky jade liquid, Gu He was momentarily puzzled. After a while, he suddenly came to his senses and, with his strong self-trol, his eyes narrowed. His gaze shifted to the Earth Core Jade Mother, and he murmured, "This Earth Core Jade Mother has actually produced Earth Core Soul Marrow inside?"

  Earth Core Jade Mother was extremely difficult to form, ah Core Soul Marrow was an even rarer substance.

  In that instant, a surge of indescribable excitement filled Gu He's eyes. He formed a thin bde of fire with his hand and swiftly moved it across the surface of the Earth Core Jade Mother.

  Swoosh!

  The fire bde lightly passed over the surface of the Earth Core Jade Mother, causing a piece of jade about the thiess of a thumb to fall off. It revealed a walnut-sized cavity, from which a faint white mist emanated. Gu He took a deep breath a a soothing sigh deep within his soul.

  Hiss! Hiss!

  Gu He's face revealed excitement as he transformed his hand into a fiery bde and rapidly carved away yers of the Earth Core Jade Mother. When the height of the Earth Core Jade Mother was reduced by about half, a pit about the size of a head finally appeared in his line of sight. His gaze fixed on the white liquid withi, which was less than half a finger deep.

  "Indeed... it's Earth Core Soul Marrow!"

  Gu He stared at the viscous white liquid with a bnk expression, and his joy surged to its peak in that moment.

  Earth Core Soul Marrow was aremely rare and precious treasure of heaven ah. For alchemists like him, it had an irresistibly attractive quality because it could temper the soul.

  To temper the soul meant to refine and cultivate it. In other words, Earth Core Soul Marrow could se the impurities from the soul. Fu He, who had heard of the Earth Core Soul Marrow's reputation but had never entered it in all these years, this was a great stroke of fortune.

  This treasure had a signifit role to py in his current situation. With it, Gu He could have a fifty-pert ce of breaking through to the Spiritual Realm. His alchemical skills would also advao the eighth-grade alchemist realm.

  "Hahaha, ihis trip to the Bain has been worthwhile, all thanks to these spirit herbs!"

  Thinking about his immi breakthrough to the Spiritual Realm, Gu He couldn't help but burst into hearty ughter.

  , it took him another half a day to finally tally up his gains from this period.

  Among them:

  - Fifty types of seventh-grade spirit herbs!

  - Three huypes of sixth-grade spirit herbs!

  - Over a thousand types of fifth-grade spirit herbs!

  As fic cores:

  - Teh-grade magic cores!

  - One hundred and fifty sixth-grade magic cores!

  - Hundreds of fifth-grade magic cores!

  - Oh-grade elixir!

  - Over ten sixth-grade elixirs!

  "Hahaha, it's a real bonanza this time!"

  Gu He stared at his harvest in amazement, uo tain his joy.
