Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 330: A great harvest and new goals!

The thing that Ding Chen used most of his blood to carry his soul was Huang Zhongyan's storage ring.

The deputy leader of the Hehuan Sect really has some stuff. In addition to a number of lower-grade Xuan-level elixirs and talismans, he also has more than a dozen "mid-grade Xuan-level" items suitable for cultivators who have just entered the Earth Crystal Realm.

In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

And more than 3,000 pieces of "mid-grade spirit stones" with better appearance and more precise surface patterns!

The exchange ratio between medium-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones is usually 1:100.

In other words, one complete middle-grade spirit stone is enough to offset one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

It’s not because the spiritual content of the “mid-grade spirit stone” is a hundred times higher than that of the low-grade spirit stone.

Rather, it is because the spiritual energy quality of mid-grade spirit stones is better and more suitable for people with a high level of Xuan cultivation.

Take the Earth Crystal Realm cultivators as an example——

Suppose that they can get 10 points of "experience" by absorbing a low-grade spirit stone through the "Spirit Extraction Formation".

Then, a medium-grade spirit stone of the same mass and volume can bring him an increase of 800-2000 experience points!

The specific amount difference depends on the level of the cultivator himself.

For example, for Huang Zhongyan at the second level of the Earth Crystal Realm, the "experience points" he could gain by absorbing the energy from "low-grade spirit stones" were not much different from those gained by absorbing "medium-grade spirit stones".

But if it were Wei Sanniang or Liu Sisi, cultivators at the fifth level of the Earth Crystal Realm, one hundred "low-grade spirit stones" could only buy 850 experience points at most.

However, a piece of "medium-grade spirit stone" can directly increase the experience points of them who are at the fifth level of the Earth Crystal Realm by 1000 points!

It is easy to see which is better.

But it is undeniable that low-grade spirit stones are still the most widely used "currency".

One reason is that most of the mineral veins that can produce "medium-grade" and above spiritual stones are controlled by extremely powerful sects.

Among them, the vast majority of mid- and high-quality spirit stones were consumed internally by powerful sects, and only a few were circulated to the outside world.

On the other hand, the number of people who can reach the "Earth Crystal Realm" in the realm of Xuan cultivation is ultimately small.

For cultivators below the "Earth Crystal Realm", lower-grade spirit stones are sufficient.

Instead of paying more, taking greater risks, and going through all the trouble to get a few "medium-grade spirit stones"...

It would be better to use the same resources to get more elixirs, talismans, puppets, hidden weapons, etc., which are things that can more easily and directly improve combat power.

After all, not everyone has the strength and ambition to reach the "Earth Crystal Realm".

For the vast majority of Xuanhai Realm cultivators, the "Calm of the Earth" with a success rate of less than 10% is a taboo that they are unwilling to touch at all costs before their life span is about to end!

Because of this, usually only cultivators who have officially entered the "Earth Crystal Realm" from the Xuan Cultivation Realm begin to come into contact with and use "Middle-grade Spirit Stones"...

After taking inventory of the resources in Huang Zhongyan's storage ring, Ding Chen couldn't say he was particularly surprised. It could only be said that it was just average!

Next, it’s Liao Rujia’s storage ring.

Although Master Liao had previously given the ring to Wei Sanniang, the girl was quite sensible. She turned around and presented the ring to her owner.

Liu Sisi saw her actions and was filled with envy.

Just because this "teacup cat girl" also wants to gain favor in front of Ding Chen!

"Om~"

After dripping blood to transfer the soul, Ding Chen extended a trace of spiritual consciousness into the ring space, and all kinds of resources were visible at a glance.

Generally speaking, the resource reserves of this "Inner Sect Grand Elder" are comparable to those of the Deputy Headmaster Huang Zhongyan.

The only difference was that there was a tattered copy of the "Hehuan Sutra" left in her storage ring.

The first and second halves of the scripture were all burned, leaving only a dozen or so pages in the middle.

Ding Chen took a quick look and found that this was a fragment of a heavenly-level martial arts technique recorded on the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain of the Hehuan Sect.

Unfortunately, this thing is of no use to him.

However, it is after all a unique copy of a heavenly-level martial arts technique that contains the "book soul". If it were to be auctioned, it would still be worth a lot of money.

Then, Ding Chen turned his attention to Gongsun Xue's storage ring.

It must be said that this old woman is always worthy of her status as the "Supreme Master";

The number of spirit stones in her storage ring is more than that of Liao Rujia and Huang Zhongyan combined!

In addition, she also has several mid-grade Xuan-level elixirs, talismans, and even Xuan weapons!

"Huh? There's actually a copy of the Hehuan Sect's [Array Control Key] here?"

Ding Chen raised his eyebrows.

[Secret Key to Control the Array] is a magical tool that controls the core of the mysterious array.

Usually, each sect would set up formations in important locations such as the sect’s secret realm.

In addition to the occasional additions of bricks and tiles, and recharging of energy and spirits by the formation masters;

The responsibility of opening and closing, and controlling the normal operation of the formation often falls on the shoulders of the supreme master.

But even if they are the leaders of a sect, not everyone is necessarily good at formations.

What's more, the Supreme Master is not a celestial being and he simply doesn't have that much time and energy to spend on the sect's formations.

Therefore, the formation masters will work together with the weapon refiners to create a magical weapon that can easily control the core of the mysterious formation.

This is the [Secret Key to Array Control]!

As long as you have the [Secret Key to Control the Array] in your hand, with just a few simple clicks, you can single-handedly perform extremely complex and precise control of the sect's array.

Now, Gongsun Xue has handed over the [Secret Key to Control the Array] to Ding Chen, which means that as long as Ding Chen wants, he can shut down all the arrays in the [Hehuan Sect] at any time.

Including a large protective formation guarding the mountain gate!

From this point of view, Gongsun Xue's attitude of admitting her mistakes and atonement is quite correct.

She was even willing to hand over the [Secret Key to Control the Array], which was equivalent to handing her lifeline to the other party.

In response, Ding Chen just smiled calmly: "Oh, if I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

Then he picked up Ge Lin and Shi Youfeng's storage rings and dripped blood to cross their souls.

As cultivators at the seventh level of the Earth Crystal Realm, the spirit stones that these two had stored in their storage rings were all of "mid-grade".

All together there are 45,000 of them.

If converted into low-grade spirit stones, it would be a huge amount of 4.5 million!

In addition, there are a number of mid- and high-grade Xuan-level elixirs and talismans in the ring space of the two.

As for weapons, since they have fire spirit attributes, they are not suitable for Wei Sanniang and Liu Sisi to use.

Ding Chen himself didn't think much of it, so he just put it aside for the time being.

When there is an opportunity, I will re-melt these two mid-grade Xuan-level weapons and strive to make them top-grade Xuan-level before using them.

Finally it’s Wan Xuanhe’s storage ring’s turn!

It must be said that this young palace master is indeed worth a lot of money, which can be seen from the grade of his [storage ring] alone -

The storage rings of other cultivators are all spiritual-level items.

Only Wan Xuanhe’s was the “lower grade Xuan level”!

Whether in terms of the size of the storage space, stability, or privacy, it far exceeds that of a top-grade spiritual ring.

This made Ding Chen more excited about the resources in the ring.

"Om~"

With a wave of Ding Chen's hand, the soul-transferring process of blood was completed.

All the wealth in the ring space entered the sea of consciousness——

More than two hundred and thirty-six thousand medium-grade spirit stones!

Xuan-level elixirs and several talismans!

The flesh, bones, blood, crystal cores and other items of the Beast King and Beast Emperor were piled up like a small mountain!

And two mid-level and top-level fire-related profound skills...

Compared to these, what really caught Ding Chen's eyes was a palm-sized, unremarkable gray-yellow jade slip.

Ding Chen poured a wisp of spiritual consciousness into it, and a map and some words immediately appeared in front of him.

It turned out that this was an invitation letter.

A force called [Tianci Pavilion] has invited Wanya Palace to attend the Tianci Wanbao Auction on the tenth day of next month.

Ding Chen suddenly realized: "No wonder Wan Xuanhe has such abundant resources on him. He is even far ahead of the two cultivators at the seventh level of the Earth Crystal Realm!"

"I guess he plans to go directly to Tianci Pavilion to participate in the auction after the Miaohu Fudi Incident is resolved, right?"

Ding Chen actually guessed it right.

However, Wan Xuanhe never expected that the huge amount of auction money he brought with him on this trip as entrusted by his father would be used to help the Ding Chen people...

"Among the 'high-end auction items' listed in the invitation letter, there are actually three mutant elemental spirits: thunder, wind, and water?"

"Isn't this exactly what I need!"

Thinking of this, Ding Chen raised his lips slightly, his eyes bright, "It seems that it is necessary to go to [Tianci Pavilion]."
