Chapter 061: Mysterious Skeleton
Heaven-Shaker · 第061章 神秘骸骨
"Rhythm God Lotus Seed!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise exploded, filled with boundless greed, but it did not come from Yang Tian.
Hearing this cry, Yang Tian was momentarily stunned, then stared at the lotus in his hand, a surge of ecstasy flooding his face, and he directly stored the purple lotus into his void ring.
In an instant, he turned to look back. Not far ahead of him, a man in yellow robes had a somewhat gloomy expression, but the greed in his eyes remained undiminished.
"Brother Yang, he is from Yellow Dragon Valley." Yun'er's beautiful eyes moved, and when she saw three characters embroidered on the yellow robe, she said softly.
"Heh, miss, you have good eyes. I am indeed a core disciple of Yellow Dragon Valley. May I ask your name?" His gaze shifting, the yellow-robed youth stared at Yun'er's ethereal appearance, which gave him a familiar feeling, but he didn't think much of it, a fiery look in his eyes as he said with a faint smile.
"Idiot..." Glancing at the yellow-robed man, Yun'er muttered. She had experienced this kind of admiration from men countless times. But now she felt an urgency, and unconsciously, two words slipped from her lips.
Though her voice was soft, every word fell into the yellow-robed youth's ears. His face gradually darkened, and he swept a lecherous gaze over Yun'er, sneered, then fixed his eyes on Yang Tian.
"Kid, hand over the Rhythm God Lotus Seed and leave the girl behind, then you can get lost. Otherwise..." With a look of arrogance, the yellow-robed youth said to Yang Tian with a haughty expression.
"Idiot..." Rolling his eyes, Yang Tian twitched the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly: "Since you're a disciple of Yellow Dragon Valley, I'll collect a bit of interest today."
"Interest?" The yellow-robed youth was momentarily stunned, then looked squarely at the two before him, his face extremely cold. As he was uncertain of their strength and pondering how to seize the Rhythm God Lotus Seed, a figure had already appeared before him.
"Bang!" Without any hesitation, Yang Tian threw a punch, his fierce blood energy bursting forth like a wild horse breaking free, roaring out and striking the youth's chest.
"Bam bam..." The yellow-robed youth was greatly alarmed, but Yang Tian's speed was too fast. Just as the protective garment on his body began to activate a trace of its power, Yang Tian's fist had already struck.
"Pfft..." Under this tremendous force, the yellow-robed youth was sent flying, his internal organs shattered. He fell dozens of zhang away, his face flushed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Who are you?" The yellow-robed youth's face showed panic. This black-robed man was too strong; he had almost no power to resist, and even the blood energy in his body had been completely dispersed.
"You want to kill me?" The yellow-robed man watched Yang Tian approach and suddenly laughed wildly: "My father is an elder of Yellow Dragon Valley. If you kill me, my father won't let you off."
"I'll wait for your father to come." With a cold smile, several blades of light danced on Yang Tian's palm. He slapped down, and the blades instantly sliced across the yellow-robed youth's neck.
"Sizzle." Blood splattered everywhere. The yellow-robed youth's arrogant smile gradually froze. Even in death, he couldn't believe Yang Tian dared to kill him.
"It's actually a Rhythm God Lotus Seed. I didn't expect such a rare treasure to appear here." Smacking his lips, Yang Tian could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, which showed on his face.
The Rhythm God Lotus Seed is a soul-type treasure, only slightly inferior to Soul Crystals. It can not only enhance soul power but also has a remarkable effect on soul bottlenecks.
Cultivating soul power is extremely slow, a fact known to everyone on the continent. Moreover, soul-type treasures are exceptionally rare. Even a low-grade soul spiritual herb often sells for a sky-high price at auction.
Especially when breaking through Blood Refining to enter the Martial Artist realm, the newly condensed soul is extremely fragile. This Nurturing Soul Lotus Seed can nourish the soul body, allowing one to avoid this period of weakness.
"Eleven seeds, one eaten by Little White. This Nurturing Soul Lotus must have grown for who knows how many years to produce twelve seeds." Licking his dry lips, Yang Tian couldn't help smacking them.
Then his gaze fell on Yun'er, who was currently collecting the spiritual herbs inside.
"Brother Yang, I don't need these spiritual herbs. You take them." Blinking, Yun'er smiled slightly and handed a void ring to Yang Tian.
Hearing this, Yang Tian shook his head slightly and divided the spiritual herbs in the ring in half: "Keep these herbs well; they are rare even outside. Take this seed when you break through to the Martial Artist realm; it will greatly help your soul power."
After some hesitation, Yun'er finally accepted. Staring at the purple seed in her palm, her brows curved into crescent moons. She had heard of famous treasures on the continent.
Noticing that Little White was still asleep, Yang Tian looked around and said, "Let's leave here first. Many people are now searching this area. The inheritance is the most important thing."
For nearly a day, the two wandered aimlessly through the vast medicinal garden, encountering many rare spiritual herbs and many extinct treasures. But the outer formations were extremely powerful; many tried to break them but all failed.
The garden had countless paths, and Yang Tian got dizzy wandering inside. They met many people along the way, and by evening, the entire garden was bustling.
After running continuously for two hours, Yang Tian finally emerged from the garden and arrived at a cluster of buildings. Many buildings had collapsed, with various battle traces preserved to this day.
A large and a small black-robed figure appeared in many people's sight. When they sensed the released blood energy, few dared to court trouble. In recent days, Yun'er's beauty had attracted many, and Yang Tian had dealt with many who came to harass them, all leaving with missing limbs.
Out of necessity, Yun'er also donned a black robe, avoiding much trouble.
"Brother Yang, look at that skeleton." As they walked, Yun'er's eyes lit up as she stared at the skeleton ahead: "The aura it emits is exactly the same as what I encountered a few days ago. Could they be related?"
"It should be the skeleton of a powerful being." Following her gaze, the entire skeleton was jade-white, with faint energy fluctuations emanating from it. Having lasted so long and still emitting energy, this skeleton must have belonged to a formidable person in life.
Just as Yang Tian was observing, Yun'er's feet suddenly began to move forward involuntarily.
"Yun'er, what's wrong?" Seeing her action, Yang Tian quickly asked. During this day together, Yun'er had never voluntarily left his side.
"Brother Yang, the skeleton seems to be calling me over." Her small head shook suddenly, then Yun'er patted her chest, blinked, and muttered softly.
"Calling you?" Frowning slightly, Yang Tian looked at the skeleton a few times but found nothing unusual, then nodded: "Go take a look. Stop immediately if anything seems off."
"Mm, Yun'er will be careful." Yun'er nodded, and the two walked forward.
Just as Yang Tian was about to approach the skeleton, the sound of breaking air came from afar, and several figures rushed toward them. Faint exclamations could be heard.
"Look, that's a skeleton! How is that possible? It hasn't weathered away after so many years."
"Idiot, that's a Jade Gold Bone. In life, it must have been a powerful expert."
"Jade Gold Bone! It can be refined into a treasure." One of them exclaimed. Jade Gold Bone is extremely hard, and this skeleton could be refined into a treasure with considerable power.
Watching the figures rushing over and hearing their conversation, Yang Tian rolled his eyes. Although Jade Gold Bone can be refined into a treasure, the person was a strong expert in life, and after death, their martial will still exists. How could they willingly be refined into a treasure? Even some masters skilled in artifact refining would have to consider whether they were qualified.
