Chapter Five Hundred and Nine – Inventory II
The brightly burning earth fire continuously sparked as the temperature of Turtle Island quickly increased. Waves of high heat spread into the surroundings.
When the dragon of fire covered the entire red line, the Yingyang Thunder Cloud Formation suddenly activated. Lightning flashed and thunder roared among the cloud layers in an intimidating display.
Just as everyone had released a breath, a bright red cloud of fire suddenly rose out of the little mountain with a muffled bang.
Pia pia pia!
Red clouds rose up from the little mountain and seemed to fly and merge into the cloud layers of the Yinyang Thunder Cloud Formation.
If one looked from the outside, they would find the thick clouds that never dissipated around Turtle Island were becoming red.
Zuo Mo released a breath and so did the other people. The burning waves of heat disappeared and the temperature of the island slowly returned to normal.
The fire clouds were still being produced.
What Zuo Mo did not know was that after his actions, the Yinyang Thunder Cloud Formation was completely transformed. The power of the sonic lightning walnut could not compare to the Sun Shen Tree. Fortunately, thunder and fire were not in conflict so the sonic lightning walnut was not subdued by the Sun Shen Tree. However, the walnut now only made up a very small portion of power in the formation.
Zuo Mo wiped away the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear. From the beginning, he didn’t dare to underestimate the power of the Sun Shen Tree but he hadn’t thought that he would make such a great mistake. He almost created a great problem.
But they were past it!
Seeing the situation resolved, the people quickly left. No one came over to ask, even Wei Sheng left directly. Zuo Mo would always cause all kinds of situations. People were now used to it. If there was a peaceful period, people couldn’t help but wonder how Daren had been so peaceful recently.
The production of the fire clouds slowed but did not stop.
Zuo Mo estimated that the entire process would take several days. Even he did not know what the Yinyang Thunder Formation would look like in the end.
He ended up waiting by the little mountain for the entire process to finish. Bored, he could not resist the temptation and started to inspect his other spoils.
He didn’t dare to mess around with the ink jade bones. If he made another ruckus, it wouldn’t be enough even if he had another life. However, he found something strange. These ink jade bones were unable to be pieced together into a complete skeleton.
There were three bones missing.
Had he missed one? Zuo Mo was puzzled. He had searched with great care and theoretically, he shouldn’t have missed them. Zuo Mo might not know whose bones these were and what they were used for but he had a strong suspicion that these bones, carved from ink black jade, were anything but ordinary.
Zuo Mo quickly threw this riddle to one side and started to inspect his other spoils.
What he got the most of was the Sun Seed from the Sun Shen Temple. Zuo Mo knew they could help him cultivate shen power and also could be forged into “Crow Thorn” which was supposedlyextremely powerful. Even Big Brother Qing Lin had been wounded by it, but the problem was Zuo Mo did not know how to use the Sun Seed or how to forge the Crow Thorn.
After flipping for a while, Zuo Mo found to his sorrow that while these ancient treasures were good, but Zuo Mo had no inkling how to use them.
In comparison to those ancient talismans of the Sun Shen Temple that were not useful, what Shen Wu Hai and the others “gave” Zuo Mo could be used immediately. There were many high-quality talismans. Even Zuo Mo who was used to seeing good talismans brightened up when he saw them.
Jade Hook Tree, Blood Script Bell, Corpse Sea Bamboo … …
Any one of these if they were sold on to the market would be priceless!
However, what moved Zuo Mo the most was what he had taken from Shen Wu Hai, who was of Yuanying cultivation, and a Tian Huan Elder. These two qualities meant that his wealth was something that the Old Bamboo Staff Man and others could not rival.
Shen Wu Hai did not have any talisman that was below sixth-grade. Even though they were of different types, all of them were very fine. What Shen Wu Hai felt the most pain over losing was his ring. Inside were the treasures and materials that he had scrounged together over many years and with great effort. They all benefited Zuo Mo now.
Of course, Zuo Mo had his own troubles.
These numerous talismans dazzled his eyes but he could not take them out and use them directly. These were dirty. If someone got even a hint of where they came from, it would be a great calamity to him, much less using them in the open! He also did not dare to sell them. There probably were an unknown number of eyes staring at him. Any trace connection to the Sun Shen Temple would be fatal.
Tian Huan was a titan. It only needed to breathe and he would turn to dust.
Could not use them directly, could not sell them, then there was only one solution—forge them all into new talismans.
Such a vast task!
Zuo Mo gazed at the mountain of spoils and grimaced. Did he profit or lose this time after getting in so much trouble?
———
Just as Cloud Sea Jie’s xiuzhe were immersed in the incident of the Sun Shen Temple, in a deep region of the cloud sea, there was a fissure about ten zhang wide. The inside of the fissure was pitch black without any light.
Suddenly, a tall figure stepped out of the fissure.
After a while, other figures successively walked out.
The leading figure suddenly turned.
“I smell the scent of xiuzhe.”
———
Shen Wu Hai crushed the paper crane in his hand with a dark face. Below him, Li Shu hesitated and then carefully asked, “Elder … …”
Li Shu recognized the paper crane. It was a paper crane unique to the sect. Had the sect given them a punishment sentence? Had they said ugly words? Why was the elder so furious?
Shen Wu Hai was a yuanying in the end and good at keeping his composure. With a long exhale, he recovered his normal composure.
