Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Treasure Hunt

After listening, Lin Jing pondered for a while.

He decided not to go to Yuebaolou, but to head directly to that place to have a look and search for the soil he had left behind.

As soon as he thought of it, he did it…

Then, Lin Jing made his way out of the outer Fang Market,

Upon leaving the Fang Market, Lin Jing rose on his Flying Sword and flew towards the Night Mist Mountain Range.

On this journey…

He occasionally encountered groups of cultivators flying past on their swords.

And since their direction was similar to Lin Jing’s, it seemed the news of the Golden Core battle had already spread.

These people were probably also heading to the battlefield to observe the aftermath of the Golden Core cultivator’s fight.

Or perhaps…

To see if there was an opportunity to scavenge any leftovers…

The Flying Sword Lin Jing was using this time was the Medium Grade magic artifact he had recently purchased.

The characteristics of the Flawless Sword were too conspicuous, not suitable for exposure to others.

But this Medium Grade flying sword was different; it was very ordinary and wouldn’t attract attention.

After not much time, Lin Jing arrived at the battlefield.

He surveyed the scene, a complete mess.

The dense jungle that was there just yesterday was now nothing but a bare clearing.

On the ground, the few standing trees that were left were broken, their splintered remains mixed with stones, scattered everywhere.

It looked extremely disordered.

At that moment, on the chaotic ground…

Some were rummaging among the broken stones and wood chips, apparently searching for something.

Others were even using their Divine Sense, which puzzled Lin Jing even more.

There didn’t seem to be anything worth searching for here.

Lin Jing knew that there weren’t any rare Spirit Plants in the area and even with an intense battle, it was unlikely any rare items like fragments of Magical Treasures would be left behind.

Then, shaking his head and sighing, Lin Jing stopped paying attention to those people.

Instead, he scanned the area from the sky, trying to recognize the spot where he was the day before.

After identifying it approximately, based on some distant scenery, Lin Jing confirmed his position from the previous day.

Then…

He came to a spot full of ruins on the ground and landed, retracting his flying sword.

This place should be where he had previously entered the System Space.

Lin Jing could be sure that even if there was some discrepancy, it wasn’t significant.

The ground here was ravaged as if it had been turned over by someone.

Furthermore, just now there were two cultivators on the ground discussing what they were searching for.

From their conversation, Lin Jing learned…

That this was the very spot where the final decisive battle had taken place.

It was here, in the market, that the Golden Core cultivators had slain the Demon Cultivator.

Initially, Lin Jing had felt this place was not safe, so he had taken the opportunity to flee.

Now, it seemed his decision was indeed justified.

Next, Lin Jing, like the others, started to search the ground.

However, what he was looking for…

Was the black soil that had clung to the roots and stem of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, which was harder to find than what others were seeking…

After searching for over half an hour, Lin Jing still hadn’t found any trace of the black soil.

It figured…

After all, there was only a small amount of that black soil initially, and after the Golden Core cultivators’ battle, the ground had probably been completely overturned.

If it were so easy to find, that would be the real surprise…

Fortunately, the soil here was a yellowish-brown, starkly different from the black soil, making it somewhat easier to distinguish.

Otherwise, Lin Jing would have probably left long ago…

Lin Jing continued searching like this…

As he flipped a piece of broken stone, suddenly…

Lin Jing saw a black granule stuck on a piece of broken wood beneath it.

He quickly picked up the piece of broken wood and then took the black granule off.

Next, Lin Jing pinched it between his fingers, and that texture…
