Chapter 216 - Ingenious Split (2/2)

As such, everyone thought that SongZhong was a humble gentleman who did not like to pursue materialistic items. Thus, he let them have the biggest cut. For this, they all sincerely thanked him. Some of them were even touched by this gesture.

Seeing this scene, SongZhong did not know whether to laugh or cry. In actual fact, the only reason why he wanted the corpse of the demonic beast was not because he was generous; it was because his Natal Artifact required these corpses.

Ever since he left the Mystical Sky Yard and arrived at the Eastern Ocean, SongZhong could no longer go to the Sky Ravine to collect trash. If all of the items in his Natal Artifact has decomposed and there was nothing else, his Natal Artifact will no longer have the continuous supply of dense five elements spiritual Qi. As such, the Five Elements Lightning Congregating Tower which he spent all his wealth on will be nothing more than decoration. His five elements pure water will no longer be in production. The five elements lotus will also wither in his Natal Artifact. If that’s the case, the impact to SongZhong would definitely be disastrous.

Thankfully, not only can SongZhong’s Natal Artifact disa.s.semble magical tools and magical artifacts, it is also able to decompose corpses. The one thing that there is no lack of in the Eastern Ocean are the corpses of demonic beasts. Just this mission alone, SongZhong obtained more than a hundred volcanic beast corpse. A 4th-grade demonic beast had the strength of a foundational cultivator. If he were to disa.s.semble them, they would definitely release a large amount of spiritual Qi.

Of course, although the bulk of the spiritual Qi will be of the Fire element, there will still be other elements mixed within it. But, all of these wouldn’t matter. The most amazing part about SongZhong’s Natal artifact is the ability to condense all excess spiritual Qi into spiritual stones, to ensure a balance between the five elements. Thus, SongZhong was not worried about that in the slightest and would only have to bury the corpses inside the black soil.

With a shocked expression on everyone’s face, SongZhong easily kept all the corpses of the volcanic beasts. That was a whole 100 gigantic volcanic beast! It can form a small hill if it were to be piled up. Just how big of a dimensional storage item is required in order to fit all of the corpses in? Everyone was flabbergasted at the enormous dimensional volume of SongZhong’s dimensional storage ring.

In fact, what they did not know was that SongZhong did not keep their corpses in his dimensional storage ring but directly into his Natal Artifact. Furthermore, the other eight demonic witches in his Natal Artifact also got to work immediately to bury them inside the black soil. Very quickly, a large amount of pure spiritual Qi was produced, making Little Fatty extremely satisfied.

Although Little Fatty’s actions saved them a lot of time, they were in no rush to return. Instead, they began to comb the surrounding islands for things of value. Because this place had not been visited by humans for a large amount of time, there may be hidden treasures in this place. Since it took them so much effort to get here, they decided to leverage on this trip. In the end, everyone got to work and managed to find plenty of good items. Especially SiYun and SiYu, who managed to find a reis.h.i.+ mushroom of almost two thousand years old.

The Naked Skinning Witch’s eyes turned red from jealously as she saw that and demanded that it should be sold and split evenly amongst everyone. Old Poison would naturally agree as well, but they were all admonished by SongZhong. Stone also expressed his support for SiYu and SiYun. Thus, the pair of sisters successfully kept that reis.h.i.+ mushroom to themselves.

SiYu and SiYun were naturally extremely grateful to SongZhong to the point they became a little incoherent from excitement. Seeing that, SongZhong could not help but tease them, “If you really want to thank me, why not you let me see your true faces?”

The moment SongZhong said that, SiYun and SiYu played fools and insisted that that were their true appearances. Then they giggled and ran away, making SongZhong extremely depressed.

In the blink of an eye, the day pa.s.sed and dusk came. Although they did not fight much today, they were still exhausted from running around the whole day. Furthermore, the Eastern Ocean was not safe in the night and many nocturnal demonic beasts enjoyed roaming around in the dark. As such, everyone decided to stay there for the night. Since the volcanic beasts were all annihilated already, this place could still be considered to be pretty safe.

In the night, SongZhong and gang gathered around the lava lake, enjoying wine while chatting. Although the Naked Skinning Witch seemed to have suffered a big loss, she was the one who earned the most from this trip. That large patch of high-grade herbs was reaped solely by her, and those herbs were much more valuable than the demonic beasts. Thus, her mood was also pretty good as she joined everyone with laughter, as though she completely forgot about the matters which happened today. Well, she was the only one who knows what she was truly thinking.

The next morning, everyone got up the moment the sun rose. After was.h.i.+ng up, SongZhong took out his black boat again. Everyone knew that they should not stay here for long and thus, they left before even having breakfast.

However, just when SongZhong took out his black boat, the sounds of birds chirping sounded from over the horizon. This sound was extremely loud and could be heard clearly despite the vast distance. Everyone then looked over to the horizon and saw a white line flying towards them. In an instant, that white line had travelled a large distance and was almost on top of them.

It turned out that the white light was a silverish white gigantic eagle with wings spanning over tens of feet wide. The body of the eagle was extremely skinny with thin blue lines all around it like lightning. As it saw everyone, it immediately changed its direction and flew in circles above them. At the same time, it cried out continuously as though it was sending out a message.

Seeing this beautiful silverish white eagle, SongZhong asked, “Haha, what is this demonic beast called? It is really beautiful!”
