522 Digesting His Rewards! (1/2)
An outer sect disciple's storage bag contains so much valuable stuff. An inner sect disciple contains more. If we continue down that line of thought, the core disciple inside the cave abode should have countless treasures in his storage bag! Wang Baole's eyes shone brightly. His heart raced. He had noticed that while he had found quite a few valuable items in these storage bags, he hadn't seen a single cultivation technique.
Wang Baole was intrigued by this. He didn't understand why this was so. He could only conclude that the cultivators he had gotten the storage bags from weren't of sufficiently high rank. It wasn't a very satisfactory explanation, though.
There must be cultivation techniques on the core disciple. Something strange is going on if there aren't any to be found… Wang Baole took a deep breath and set aside his thoughts. He still couldn't let go of his desire for what rested in the mountain peak. He knew that the land in the sword body underwent transformations every so often, so the mountain peak might not stay where it was for long.
It would be an incredible loss if it shifted away, never to be found again. Wang Baole couldn't bear the thought of watching such incredible wealth slip through his fingers, right before his eyes. He grew frustrated when he thought about how powerful the hex had been, though. The sense of powerlessness made Wang Baole sigh repeatedly.
So be it. It's clear I'm not destined to have them… Wang Baole sighed again. He inspected his injuries and confirmed that he was recovering smoothly. Then, he left the deserted island and flew towards the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
At least my gains from this trip are still acceptable. Wang Baole continued to comfort himself during his journey back. He teleported five times, and finally returned to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
The entire trip went smoothly, and he didn't encounter any dangers. His mood lightened as he approached the main Vast Expanse Dao Palace island. He sped up, shot out as a beam, and arrived inside the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
He had intended to return to Green Fire Island first. However, he realized that he had numerous items in his storage bag that required appraisal. That was why he had chosen to come to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace first. He was worried about the authentication process. He knew how one's possession of immense treasure might get an innocent man into trouble. He wouldn't be as troubled if what he had wasn't that valuable. However, should there be something of incredible worth amongst what he had picked up, there was no doubt of the danger he would face then.
That was why Wang Baole didn't immediately seek someone out to appraise his items on his own when he arrived at the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Instead, he headed for the library and did some independent research. Even though he might still miss something during the actual authentication, this was the best solution he could think of at the moment.
Wang Baole spent two weeks in the library. When he emerged from the pavilion, it was with joy in his eyes and excitement in his heart. While he wasn't able to ascertain with full confidence the nature of the pill that the seven young spirits had given him, after browsing the materials in the library, he was quite certain that there was a high chance of the pill being a Universe Pill!
I've got to keep this. This is going to be the best supplementary pill for advancing from the Core Formation realm into the Nascent Soul realm!
And that runic soldier… the five copper coins are indeed runic soldiers. Even though there isn't much information recorded in the library, based on the information in the jade slip found on the inner sect disciple, if I can unleash the full power of all five copper coins, each one of them would rival a Nascent Soul realm cultivator! This was what excited Wang Baole the most. He made up his mind to do more in-depth research on the runic soldier.
He had done some research on the other items as well. Wang Baole decided not to let anyone know he had those in his possession. There were also a few pills that Wang Baole had done a brief study on. He was unclear of what most of them were used for. There were three bottles, however, that he was certain were Cultivation Containment Pills that could be taken by Core Formation realm cultivators!
One pill cost something like two thousand battle credits in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, and it had great effects for a Core Formation realm cultivator. Wang Baole also read from some of the books that when taken with other pills, it could also help a Core Formation realm cultivator with healing.
Wang Baole did his calculations. He had found six or so of these Cultivation Containment Pills. He shoved down the immediate impulse to exchange his identity tokens and left the Vast Expanse Dao Palace with fire in his heart.
There's no rush to exchange credits. I've just returned. I'll settle down and handle all my matters first, then get my credits in a few days. At that thought, Wang Baole sped up. He dashed out of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and headed straight for Green Fire Island.
Green Fire Island appeared in his sights soon. When Wang Baole saw his own island and felt the rich Spirit Qi spreading from the island, his heart brimmed with happiness. He arrived at his cave abode. As soon as he entered his cave abode, he activated the array formation and shut the gates to his residence. He entered the area meant for seclusion and pulled out the five copper coins.
