Chapter 349 - Strange Stone
Chapter 349: Strange Stone
On the noisy street, cultivators constantly passed by, looking rather lively. The weakest among them was at the Legendary Stage, and the stronger ones had reached the Saint Stage or even the Grand Saint Stage.
If it was in the Spirit Central World, it would be almost impossible for such a scene to appear. However, it was very common in the Sacred Luo Continent.
“Brother Shi, what fiend beast are we hunting today?”
“Old Zhou, the one you mentioned last time…”
“…”
“…”
Seeing that it was already noon, the cultivators in the city gradually became active. They either acted alone or chose to team up. They rushed forward and flew towards the Fiend Beast Mountain Forest in search of their target.
As everyone knew, only experts above the Great Sage Stage could travel through the void for a long time and were extremely dangerous. Therefore, itinerant cultivators below the Great Sage Stage could only rely on hunting fiend beasts or using heavenly treasures to maintain their cultivation.
This was also the reason why fiend beasts hated humans greatly no matter where they went. Who would like to think of themselves as cultivation materials?
However, in a way, fiend beasts should hate Qin Jue more. After all, although Qin Jue didn’t use them to cultivate, he would still treat them as delicacies to eat.
At this moment, Qin Jue held a wine pot in his hand and leaned against the window, looking down at this scene with a meaningful expression. It was unknown what he was thinking.
“Master, I want to drink it too.”
Yun Xi sat on Qin Jue’s shoulder and drooled.
“No.”
Qin Jue shook his head without hesitation.
“Why?”
Yun Xi grunted coldly to display her displeasure.
“No means no.”
It wasn’t that Qin Jue was stingy, but every time Yun Xi got drunk, she would sleep for a long time. No matter how he tried to wake her up, she wouldn’t wake up. It made Qin Jue very speechless.
Seeing this, Yun Xi’s face flushed red as she hugged Qin Jue’s neck and shouted, “Ahhh! Master, I want to drink! I want to drink!”
“…”
Helpless, Qin Jue could only take out a pot of hundred-year-old spirit wine to send Yun Xi away. “Sigh, I really can’t help it when it comes to you.”
“Hehe, I knew Master wouldn’t be so heartless.”
Taking the wine pot that was even bigger than her, Yun Xi immediately opened it impatiently and raised her head to drink it.
Speaking of which, if it weren’t for Qin Jue, Yun Xi wouldn’t have become an alcoholic. Indeed, he brought it on himself.
Ten minutes later, Yun Xi was drunk as mud. She lay on Qin Jue’s shoulder and slept. From the looks of it, it would be impossible for her to wake up without a day…
“Master, where are we going next?”
Killing Dao was the first to break the silence.
Hearing this, Shi Tian also cast a curious gaze. He really wanted to eat a few more meals of high-level fiend beast meat because it wouldn’t be long before he could break through to the Legendary Stage. However, he was too embarrassed to speak.
“Let’s go out and take a look first.”
Taking a sip of spirit wine, Qin Jue stood up and said, “I wonder if there’s anything fun in this city.”
After making up their minds, the group quickly left the restaurant and arrived at the most prosperous area in the city.
Perhaps it was because it was close to the Fiend Beast Mountain Forest, the things sold here were mostly related to fiend beasts. For example, fiend beasts’ fiend crystals, flesh, bones, armor, and weapons.
Of course, there were also some healing pills.
“Come and take a look. Come and take a look. It’s the best Purple-Winged Qilin Dragon Blood Essence. With just one drop, cultivation will be twice as fast with half the effort.”
“An armor made from the bones of a divine beast descendant is indestructible…”
“Come, come. Don’t miss it. Quasi-sacred artifact, Snake Slaying Saber…”
“Young Master, there’s a heavenly light on your forehead and a spirit light in your eyes. You must be the reincarnation of an immortal. I’ve finally waited for you…”
“Clearance sale…”
“…”
All kinds of peddling sounded incessantly, almost no different from Earth. Qin Jue looked at each of the shops, but unfortunately, none of them interested him.
This reminded Qin Jue of the stories in some novels in his previous life. Those main characters often found earth-shattering treasures in such unremarkable places. In comparison, he was a little miserable.
“Eh, this is…”
Suddenly, Killing Dao’s eyes lit up as she looked at the stall on the left.
“What’s wrong?”
Qin Jue was overjoyed. He thought that Killing Dao had discovered something good and hurriedly asked.
“That stone is so beautiful.”
Killing Dao pointed at the milky-white stone on the stall.
Qin Jue :”…”
Was this really an incarnation of a divine artifact?
Was there a mistake somewhere?
Other people’s “disciples” and incarnations of divine artifacts all had their own treasure hunt function. Why was his “disciple” and incarnation of a divine artifact a foodie and a violent woman who only knew how to fight?
Could it be that he was too good at cheating, so he was forced to team up with a few useless teammates?
“Boss, how much is this stone?”
Killing Dao didn’t know what Qin Jue was thinking and picked up the stone to ask.
The boss had long heard that a Half God Stage expert had come to the city today. Seeing the dazzling halo behind Killing Dao, his legs immediately went weak, and he almost knelt down. “No… no need for money. I’ll give it to Fairy for free.”
“Really?”
Killing Dao accepted it without ceremony. “Thank you.”
“…”
It was only when Killing Dao left that the stall owner heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. His entire back was already drenched in cold sweat. Fortunately, Killing Dao only had eyes for a stone. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know what to do.
“What a beautiful stone.”
Killing Dao played with the milky-white stone lovingly. It was hard to imagine that this was actually a Half God Stage expert.
Qin Jue :”…”
“Wait!”
Killing Dao suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?”
Qin Jue didn’t care.
“This stone… doesn’t seem to be simple.”
Killing Dao frowned.
“Not simple?”
Qin Jue was stunned. Only then did he seriously observe that stone. Sure enough, he sensed something strange.
“There seems to be runes flowing inside.”
How could there be runes in ordinary rocks?
Could it be that they really found a treasure?
“That’s right.”
Killing Dao waved her hand and set up a barrier to isolate the outside sight. Then, she began to inject spirit energy into the stone.
Buzz!
In the next moment, the milky-white stone erupted with a dazzling light, condensing countless runes in midair. Then, these runes intertwined and finally outlined a complicated and obscure scene.
“This is… a map?”
Qin Jue was surprised.
“I think so.”
Killing Dao grinned. “Hahaha, I didn’t expect to be so lucky.”
Qin Jue :”…”
“The location on the map seems to be in the center of the Sacred Luo Continent. Master, should we go?”
Killing Dao looked at Qin Jue with anticipation.
“Let’s go. We have nothing to do anyway.”
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders and made a decision.
It had not been easy for him to find a treasure. No matter what was inside, he had to go and take a look first.
“Alright, let’s go!” Killing Dao said happily.
Swoosh!
When the barrier was removed, the three of them had already silently disappeared from their original spots.
At the same time, in the center of the Sacred Luo Continent, space distorted slightly as three figures appeared.
“Uh… are you sure this is the place marked on the map?”
Killing Dao looked at the scene in front of her and then at the map. She could only brace herself. “Yes… yes.”
