— Chapter 25 —

After confirming that I wasn’t joking about building a new academy, Liu Erlong informed us that we needed to leave the Star Dou Forest quickly and plan for the founding. However, I recalled a treasure location nearby that Manager Kun from the Merchant Union had told me about.

“We should look for the burial place for spirit beasts near this area,” I said after some thought. “Who knows that we might discover some rare treasures.”

“Treasure!” After experiencing treasure hunting in the Soul Hunting Forest, Han Yue becomes eager to find more. Of course, she wouldn’t recklessly wander around in Star Dou Forest and wait for my further instruction.

Liu Erlong frowned slightly and glanced at the sky, which showed the time was nearing sunset already. If we want to explore the burial place, we must do it quickly because the sun will set soon.

“Fine, but let’s stop when the sunset is close.”

I smiled faintly, “It wouldn’t take long. According to the info I got from Manager Kun, the burial place wasn’t big.”

Then, we walked to the muddy path near the valley’s entrance.

On the way there, I checked my status.

…

…

My eyes widened slightly when I absorbed a spirit bone from the Fallen Lightning Bamboo. Initially, I found it strange to absorb such a long spirit ring, but now my confusion has been resolved.

External Spirit Bone.

I’d have never thought I would be this lucky.

After all, this thing is second only to a 100,000-year-old spirit bone.

The best part is that External Spirit Bone can grow alongside its absorber like a life-bound artifact in many cultivation novels.

In addition to the evolution perk of External Spirit Bone, the Fallen Finger’s spirit skill is a two-step ability.

First, I can fire a condensed energy spear that combines my lightning and White Holy Lightning from my finger, a burst single-target attack. The second part involves manifesting a tangible spear, similar to the Purple-Silver Spear of Holiness from Purple Lightning Bamboo, which had previously pierced my chest.

Fuck, I really wanted to try the Fallen Finger’s spirit skill, but I don’t want to expose it to Liu Erlong. Well, I can experiment with it later.

We carefully walked along the muddy path, occasionally using Eyes of Truth to identify a suitable route. No wonder Manager Kun described this place as confusing and difficult to navigate because the terrain is too complex. The wall from the nearby valley and tall trees also made this place dark as fuck!

In fact, this muddy site would be impossible to explore without a spiritual power to sense the surrounding area because something in the center area messed with one’s senses. Walking around aimlessly for hours is possible if one is not careful enough.

An hour later. We arrived at a gloomy place full of the spirit beast’s bones. Countless dark-white grass grew on this place, giving it an eerie vibe.

I used Eyes of Truth on the dark-white grass and was stunned, “Wow, we actually discovered a treasure trove.”

“Is there something special about this grass? They are not even 10-year spirit beasts.” Liu Erlong asked casually, reaching for the nearby dark-white grass.

“Don’t touch the grass with your bare hands!” I pulled her body, making her awkwardly fall into my embrace.

Liu Erlong was stunned, unconsciously inhaling my scents, and blushed slightly as she separated herself in panic. “Why did you pull me so suddenly!”

I smiled, “The grass you’re about to touch with your hand is called Holy Abyss Grass, which contains a strong yin attribute that could render one’s spiritual sea useless, making that person an idiot for hours, if not forever.”

“How could such an absurd grass exist.” Liu Erlong stared at the grass she was about to touch in fear. She doesn’t want to become a vegetable because of touching a random grass.

Grass, what a dangerous thing.

I stared at this silly woman and explained, “Although Holy Abyss Grass is dangerous, once you refine it, the pure yin property can be a good tonic to enhance one’s spiritual power.”

“Of course, extracting it is a hassle. It would take weeks to do.”

“By the way you’re talking, you can do it, right?” Liu Erlong couldn’t help but ask.

I shrugged, “I also dabbled in medicine, remember?”

“You two explore the area. Be careful of anything, so don’t touch random stuff you don’t know!”

“I will stay and harvest this grass.”

“Okay…” Liu Erlong pouted, dragging Han Yue away.

I immediately used Sky Poison Pearl to harvest patch after patch of Holy Abyss Grass, muttering, “I’m rich, I’m rich.” every two seconds.

After harvesting all the Holy Abyss Grass, I turned around and searched for my sister and Liu Erlong, finding them in a small cave.

“Xiao Yuan, look what we found!” Han Yue’s excited voice reached my ears as she flashed to my side.

I caught my sister and looked at the spirit bone in her hand, a head-type one. My mouth hung for a second.

Using my Eyes of Truth, the information of this head-type spirit bone was “immediately” revealed.

This spirit bone originates from the Terrifying Demon Dragon, or Fear Dragon, a rare subspecies of the earth dragon family. Although it has limited combat strength, it possesses unique spiritual attributes.

After its natural death, some spiritual power is ‘innately’ preserved in its skull bone. While killing the Terrifying Demon Dragon is relatively easy, obtaining its skull bone afterward is much more difficult.

“I see… No wonder this place feels confusing. The lingering spiritual power from Fear Dragon must have permeated the area.”

“Many spirit beasts are probably buried here because Fear Dragon’s spirits protected them.”

“The Holy Abyss Grass outside must have absorbed the nutrients from the Fear Dragon’s corpses.”

“Now, the question is…”

“How many Fear Dragons died here to leave such a strong protection?”

“And there might be more spirit bones here…”

“Sister, how many spirit bones have you found?” I glanced at Han Yue.

Han Yue grinned, “So many of them! Senior Erlong and I discovered a pile of spirit bones, but she said most of them are below 10,000 years old and incomplete in shape, which weakened the effect of absorption and spirit skills.”

“She’s currently digging more for spirit bones.”

“Haha~! Hahaha~!” I suddenly laughed out loud.

“We hit the jackpot! We really hit a jackpot this time!”

Even then, I hurriedly calmed down and suppressed my greed because we should harvest everything from this treasure land as quickly as possible.

Once people from the Merchant Union know, they would do their best to get a slice of the pie. There is also the possibility of others entering this place by accident.

If I could gather more bones of Fear Dragon, I could construct a mimetic training ground for tempering one’s spiritual power and willpower, as Shrek Academy did in the second book.

Building an academy will be easy with such an advantage.

After making sure this place was hidden and safe, I decided that we would camp here tonight.

IT IS TIME FOR GRINDING!
