627 The Star Emperor’s Successor (2/2)

Mo Wen had not understood this earlier, but now everything was becoming clear to him. The sense of familiarity had nothing to do with him but was because of the Inferno Star Lord, or rather, because of the inheritance he had received from the Inferno Star Lord. The three tail feathers from the Seven Star Heavenly Fire had sent him this feeling.

Furthermore, the place that Mo Wen was now in was probably part of the same space as that in which the Inferno Star Hall was located. Or, one could say, they belonged in the same space fragment. In the past, the space had fragmented for an unknown reason, causing the current situation. If the fragments were pieced together, they would definitely belong in the same space.

With this thought in mind, many doubts in Mo Wen's mind were solved. This ancient city must have belonged to the Inferno Star Lord. That was why all the citizens in the ancient city had respected him so much and crowned him as emperor.

Clack! As Mo Wen was immersed in his thoughts, a sudden soft sound was heard.

Mo Wen looked down to see a cloth pouch rolling out from the ancient corpse's clothing. It was rather odd, but it rolled and stopped at Mo Wen's feet. Mo Wen looked down at the object and was very confused.

In a normal situation, a cloth pouch would not be able to roll several dozen meters to his feet. It must have been done deliberately by the ancient corpse. It had given him the cloth pouch intentionally. What were its intentions?

The shriveled corpse was an extremely strange and unpredictable creature. Mo Wen did not dare to simply pick up something which had come from it. God knows what would happen to him if he did.

It was also clear to Mo Wen that the ancient corpse must have been a complex character in its day. From its attitude towards the Inferno Star Lord, it probably would not intentionally harm him Mo Wen now.

The material of the cloth bag was from an unknown type of silk. It was smooth and cool to touch. A sense of coldness penetrated his body. Mo Wen was shocked and his mind cleared greatly.

At first glance, Mo Wen thought that the bag was a storage space pouch. However, he later discovered that it was just a normal cloth pouch. However, the material of the cloth pouch was not plain. He undid the string on top of the pouch and poured out several items.

A round object rolled out from the cloth pouch and Mo Wen was immediately attracted to it.

A Spiritual Stone!

One, two, three, four, five…there were seven spiritual stones!

Mo Wen would not have been so surprised had they been normal spiritual stones. However, the spiritual stones in front of him were all medium grade spiritual stones. They were definitely better than low-grade spiritual stones. Even in the immortal cultivation world, medium grade spiritual stones were important resources. They were much more valuable than low-grade spiritual stones.

Even though the comparative value of low-grade spiritual stones and medium grade spiritual stones was 1:100, the people in the immortal cultivation world were rarely willing to use this ratio to make exchanges. Even if they were to make exchanges, the ratio would be far higher than 100. The reason for this was because the practical use of medium grade spiritual stones was more than a hundred times of low-grade spiritual stones.

For example, only medium grade spiritual stones could be used in some stratagems in the immortal cultivation world. Low-grade spiritual stones were unable to provide the energy flow required for slightly higher level stratagems. Only medium grade spiritual stones could. Some rare immortal cultivation materials, when there were not many differences, could be bought with medium grade spiritual stones but not with low-grade spiritual stones.

It was the same for puppets. Medium grade spiritual stones could definitely provide stronger energy than low-grade spiritual stones.

Mo Wen's Black Gold puppet was powered by a low-grade spiritual stone right now. That meant it could only have the power of an ancient martial arts practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. However, if Mo Wen used a medium grade spiritual stone instead, then the puppet would have the power similar to that of a human martial arts grandmaster.

Receiving seven medium grade spiritual stones in one go was a pleasant surprise for Mo Wen. At first, he had thought that he would never be able to obtain medium grade spiritual stones. That was because the immortal cultivation world greatly valued such stones. No matter how wealthy Huatian Palace was, they would not allow medium grade spiritual stones to end up in the ancient martial arts world.

”If I use the medium grade spiritual stone on the Black Gold puppet, and also use them with a few other treasures, I might even be able to fight martial arts grandmasters.”

A look of excitement appeared in Mo Wen's eyes. He was usually a steady person, but he could not control himself this time because he needed power way too much right now. Both the human martial arts grandmasters and the seven beast kings of the Fire Domain all posed a serious threat to his life.

In such a situation, his power was insufficient and his very survival was in question. It was a much greater problem that the possibility of fighting with the other powerhouses for the spiritual fire.

Now that Mo Wen had the medium grade spiritual stones, it meant that he the protection of a martial arts grandmaster. Furthermore, it was a martial arts grandmaster that could use spiritual power and shared his thoughts.

Mo Wen waved his hand excitedly. There was a flash of black light and the Black Gold puppet flew out from the medicine spiritual ring. It was the size of his palm before it was activated. However, Mo Wen knew that immortal cultivators had set up prohibitions on it that could shrink the size of the puppet, enabling them to bring it along with them easily. The true height of the Black Gold puppet was at least three meters.

He hit the Black Gold puppet with his palm and held a spiritual stone in his other hand, transmitting the spiritual power. The Black Gold puppet immediately shone with a black light and grew bigger in the blink of an eye. When fully grown, it was about the same size as Mo Wen, and even their body structures were about the same.

Mo Wen placed all seven of the medium grade spiritual stones into the Black Gold puppet so that it would have a sufficient energy source in case of any unforeseen incidents. He did not want the puppet to lack power. Even though there were only seven medium grade spiritual stones, they would be sufficient for the Black Gold puppet to operate for a long period of time.
