Chapter 978: How Did You…
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The girl hesitated for a few seconds. As she did not know how to open it, she sliced the top off with her sword and broke the plastic bottle.
Then, she took out a silver needle to test for poison. After confirming that there was no poison, she took a sip.
Soon, joy and excitement appeared in her eyes as she drank a few more mouthfuls.
She had been staying here all year round, eating medicinal herbs. As she had never tasted such things from the outside world, it was natural for her to be shocked.
After all, the people of the Kunlun Mountains only knew how to cultivate, while the people outside did not know how to cultivate. They could only focus on developing civilization, which included delicacies.
“This… How was this thing refined? Could it be the holy water that Master mentioned?”
Ye Chen almost fell to the ground. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Thanks to food, Ye Chen became more familiar with the girl.
“How many more of these do you have? You took away my medicinal herbs, which would feed us for several months. It’s not worthwhile to exchange them for this thing.”
Ye Chen knew that he had a bargain on his hands, so he took out a large box and gave it to the girl.
When the girl saw the big box, her breathing quickened. With a light tap of her finger, the box disappeared. It was obvious that she had put it into her storage space.
“Since that’s the case, we don’t owe each other anything. I don’t need those herbs anymore. After all, this is not my only herb garden. You can go back to where you came from. As for the three favors, I don’t care for them. That’s all.”
The young lady was afraid that Ye Chen would change his mind, so she turned around and quickly walked into the depths.
Naturally, Ye Chen would not let her leave. After all, this girl was the only person Ye Chen knew here.
If he wanted to find Shi Zun, he needed someone who was familiar with this place.
“Miss, wait!”
The moment Ye Chen finished speaking, the young lady turned around and said with hostility, “Are you trying to change your mind?! Master said that once the deal is done, you can’t change your mind. Otherwise, you’ll be regarded as despicable in the martial world.”
Ye Chen shook his head and said directly, “Miss, my name is Ye Chen. I came here by accident and am not familiar with this place. The one who dragged me here is a demonic beast called Shi Zun. Its body is covered with huge rocks, and the scales on its surface are all stone. It has a huge body. I wonder if you’ve seen it before?”
The young girl exhaled and her brows relaxed. “I know who you are talking about. About five thousand steps to the north, you will see a cave. That cave is the residence of that demon beast.”
“However, this demonic beast seems to be injured. When I came, I saw that it was bleeding. I reckon that it has gone crazy…”
Ye Chen’s eyes lit up, and quickly headed north.
For Ye Chen, the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword was the most important thing.
“Hey, hey, why are you looking for that guy?”
“Even Master doesn’t allow me to get close to that fellow, so I’ve never dared to meet that fellow for so many years, yet you’re actually going to look for it directly?”
Ye Chen ignored her. The young girl glanced at Ye Chen’s back and hesitated for a few seconds before following him.
…
Five minutes later, Ye Chen saw the cave that the girl had mentioned.
The surface of the cave was covered with giant stone patterns, which were simple and unadorned, but also ancient.
The entrance of the cave was dripping with blood, and there were even angry roars coming from inside.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He took out a few of the medicinal herbs he had just picked and consumed them.
His body was suffused with golden light, and his injuries began recovering very quickly.
Then, he took out the Nine Nether Sky Spear and headed deep into the cave.
“Who is it?”
A furious roar was heard as a pair of cold eyes appeared in the darkness of the cave and looked straight at Ye Chen.
It was Shi Zun!
Ye Chen felt his breathing quicken.
However, he could sense that Shi Zun’s injuries were extremely grave, so it was definitely in no condition to put up a proper fight.
“Little b*stard, it’s actually you! This is my cultivation abode! How did you find it?!”
Before Shi Zun could finish its sentence, the Nine Nether Sky Spear shot out with a cold glint, crackling with divine lightning.
As Shi Zun was in a weakened state, it instantly tore a hole in its body.
“You lowly human, how dare you hurt me! When I recover, I’ll definitely turn you into ashes!”
An angry roar rang out.
Ye Chen snorted. “If I’m not wrong, you’re in no condition to resist at the moment. The blood energy flowing on the surface of your body should be healing your body. However, once it’s removed, I wonder what will happen… To be honest, I’m really curious.”
When Shi Zun heard Ye Chen’s words, a hint of fear appeared in its eyes. “What do you want? My bloodline and body are special. You can’t kill me.”
“Where’s my sword?” Ye Chen asked coldly as he scanned his surroundings.
Shi Zun rolled its eyes at Ye Chen. It had never expected that this guy had chased it down the cliff for a sword!
Was he crazy?
It opened his huge mouth and spat out a large ink-black rock.
The rock shattered and the dull Dragonslayer Heaven Sword appeared in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen’s eyes lit up. He clenched his fist and the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword appeared in his palm.
He could feel a faint connection to the sword. Although he had found it, the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword had been severely damaged, so it was unusable for the time being.
Fortunately, Ye Chen was proficient in weapon forging. As long as he had enough materials, repairing it was not too difficult.
“Now that you’ve got what you want, you can leave. If you want to kill me, you can try. However, you should think about the price you have to pay!”
Ye Chen put away the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword and was about to speak when a voice came from the Samsara Graveyard.
“There’s a hidden compartment on the left! Open it!”
Ye Chen was stunned. It was Xue Qiye’s voice.
He walked to the left wall and knocked a few times. Sure enough, he found a secret compartment. When he opened it, Shi Zun’s expression turned ferocious.
“What are you doing! How did you know about that place?”
It wanted to get up and attack Ye Chen, but soon realized that it was in no condition to do so.
Ye Chen ignored it and reached out to grab the item in the secret compartment.
It was a crystal clear gourd with patterns on its surface. It did not seem to be man-made. It gave Ye Chen the feeling that it was naturally formed or created.
“What is this?” Ye Chen asked Xue Qiye.
This time, Xue Qiye answered quickly.
“Kid, this is a good thing. Not only can it heal your injuries, but it is also beneficial for your cultivation! This item is known as the Stone Spirit Calabash. These Stone Spirit Calabashes have been around for ten thousand years and were nurtured from the spiritual energy of the world. It is a heavenly treasure that is in no way inferior to some powerful medicinal pills in the slightest.”
“If others were to find out about this Stone Spirit Calabash, they would fight each other to the death!”
“I can even say that the value of this Stone Spirit Calabash is even more valuable than all of the herbs you obtained outside just now!”
“If you don’t believe me, you can open the gourd and have a drink. Then, you will understand what I’m saying!”
Ye Chen did not know much about the Stone Spirit Calabash, but Xue Qiye’s words were definitely correct.
He no longer hesitated. He opened the lid of the Stone Spirit Calabash and was about to take a sip when a beautiful figure appeared in front of Ye Chen.
“You can’t drink that! You mustn’t!”
The young woman grabbed the Stone Spirit Calabash unceremoniously. Naturally, this was the young woman he had met in the herb garden earlier.
