The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 434

Chapter 434: Chapter 430: Harvest Chapter 434: Chapter 430: Harvest The Ghost World Treasure Compendium he had bought at the Ghost Market had mentioned this Yellow Springs Crystal. This item was harvested from the Nether River and had many uses; it could concoct elixirs, assist in cultivating illusory powers, and refine dazzling magical instruments. Although it was not as rare as Netherworld Bamboo, it was still extremely precious.

As he toyed with the Yellow Springs Crystal in his hands, he was reluctant to part with it.

However, in the next moment, he cut off his reluctance.

After all, no matter how precious this item was, it could not compare to his life-extending elixir.

Shen Luo put down the Yellow Springs Crystal and turned his gaze toward the three luminous white skeletons.

Strong waves of Yin Qi emanated from the skeletons, far surpassing the material for his previous Ghost Wailing Ring.

These three Jade bones didn't have anything special about them, they were just extremely hard and top-tier Artifacts Refining materials. They were suitable for creating yin attribute magical instruments, and estimating from their quality, they could be sold for twenty to thirty pieces of immortal jade.

Shen Luo quickly moved his gaze and picked up two medicine vials. A white vial contained a Yinling Pill he had taken once before, and a black vial held a mysterious green elixir.

When submitting the task, Zhong Kui briefly explained the name and effect of this green elixir. It was called the Yin Zhe Pill which, after consumption, made one's breath non-existent and the body cold, as if dead. The effect lasted for thirty-six hours.

“These are all good items, best to save them for later use,” he muttered to himself, then stored the two vials and other items away.

Then he took out a silver ring, which was Hu Yong's storage magical tool.

“There should be quite a few good things in a late-stage Soul Condensation cultivator's storage tool,” Shen Luo muttered to himself, then injected his mana into the ring and quickly refined it.

The space inside the silver ring was not very big, only about half the size of a room, much smaller than the Linlang Ring.

There were many things stored inside the ring, among which most were immortal jade, actually amounting to seven to eight hundred pieces.

“Such a lot of immortal jade, old man Hu Yong was really wealthy!” Shen Luo was overjoyed in his heart.

Shen Luo quickly moved his focus from the immortal jade to a few other items.

A half-human-height Apricot-Yellow Flag, embroidered with a Wind Beast pattern using black silk. A Green short axe, two white vials, twenty to thirty yellow talisman papers, a purple book, and a gray wooden box.

Shen Luo waved his hand and took these items out for a careful inspection.

Hu Yong had used the Apricot-Yellow Flag and Green short axe before; they were powerful magical instruments.

He held the two magical instruments in his hands and activated the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique to sense, quickly figuring out their grades.

There were six prohibition layers contained within the Apricot-Yellow Flag, making it a mid-grade magical instrument, while the Green short axe contained eight prohibition layers, making it a top-grade magical instrument.

“Nice! Gained a mid-grade and a top-grade magical instrument!” The corners of Shen Luo's mouth lifted.

Although the Apricot-Yellow Flag was only a mid-grade magical instrument, it could launch rare wide-ranging attacks, which he had been lacking.

As for the Green short axe, it was a thunder attribute magical instrument. He had felt its power firsthand, it almost split him into two – its attack power was incredibly strong.

Shen Luo waved his hand to collect the two magical instruments into the Linlang Ring, planning to refine them later.

He continued to check the other items. The two white bottles contained a milky white pill. Judged by its medical aura, it was likely a pill for healing injuries. The twenty or thirty yellow talisman papers were the puppet talismans Hu Yong had used before, which could transform into black silhouettes.

The purple book recorded Hu Yong's cultivation technique “Thunder Shock Technique.” Though this technique was excellent, since Shen Luo already had the Nameless Cultivation Technique, he wouldn't practice it.

However, behind the Thunder Shock Technique were some explanations of Thunder Techniques. After reading, he gained a deeper understanding of the Small Thunder Talisman and Thunderfall Talisman.

Shen Luo quickly put down the purple book and picked up the last gray wooden box, exerting force in an attempt to open it, and a black light suddenly emerged from the box.

At the back of his mind, sudden alarm bells rang, and with a change in his countenance, he immediately threw the gray wooden box away with unparalleled speed.

Just as his hand barely left the box, a black flame rose from it, burning silently.

The burning box tumbled onto the table and, after a mere screaming sound, the black flame astonishingly burned a big hole right through the table in the blink of an eye.

Shen Luo took a sharp breath, the black fire was dangerously malevolent, had he let go a little slower, he might have been engulfed by the black fire and even if he didn't die, it would have disabled him.

The burning wooden box fell through the table and hit the ground.

As the black fire billowed, a black pit was instantly burned into the ground. However, the flame suddenly flickered and extinguished quickly.

The gray wooden box inside was revealed and astonishingly remained unharmed.

Shen Luo wore an indicative pondering expression, without rashly approaching the box, he performed a magic spell.

A stream of water shot in from the window, forming into two palms, lightly tapping the gray wooden box.

The box showed no reaction, and the terrifying black fire did not reappear.

Shen Luo furrowed his eyebrows and changed the magic spell in his hand, the water palms grasped the box with the intent of opening it with force.

A black light flashed on the box, and the black fire suddenly emerged once again, immediately engulfing the two palms.

With a hissing sound, the two water palms disappeared instantly, turning into wisps of smoke lingering about.

The gray wooden box once again fell to the ground, burning another pit into the ground.

Just like before, the black fire remained for only two or three breaths before it disappeared again.

“What a formidable black fire, it can even instantly melt water!” Shen Luo's heart turned cold. He racked his brains for information about this black fire, pondering over potential solutions. But after considerable thought, he still couldn't find any.

However, he could feel the chilling ghostly Qi exuding from the black fire, somewhat similar to the fire from the Ghost World.

“How could I forget, the Netherworld Bamboo can absorb Ghostly Qi, it could perhaps restrain this black fire.” A thought flashed through Shen Luo's mind, and he retrieved the Netherworld Bamboo, placing it on the gray wooden box.

He then shaped two water palms once more and opened the wooden box.

A black light flashed, and the black fire reappeared again, melting the water palms in the blink of an eye and also enveloping the Netherworld Bamboo within.

However, rather than disappearing like the water palms, the Netherworld Bamboo remained perfectly intact underneath the licking of the black fire.

Not only that, but the bamboo also turned black rapidly, emitting a force of devouring.

The surrounding black fire began to fluctuate, slowly converged on the Netherworld Bamboo, and slowly melted into it.

Seeing this, Shen Luo instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, the Netherworld Bamboo could restrain this black fire. Otherwise, he really had no other means to break this black fire's prohibition. If he had attempted to blast open the wooden box with raw force, he feared that he would have destroyed everything inside as well.

Though the Netherworld Bamboo could absorb the black fire, whether it was because the black fire was too powerful, the absorption speed was really slow. A full quarter of an hour had passed before all the black fire was completely drained.
