152: Effects of Lingxu Jade

"spirit void jade, a space-type material?"

"And what exactly is a small space?"

The three of them truly hadn't expected that this tiny half-shard of jade...

was actually an extremely rare space-type material.

Gu Li nodded in confirmation, seemingly glancing at Black Night unintentionally.

Evidently, a good part of the commotion earlier was caused by this spirit void jade.

"That's right, this is a seventh-tier material."

"The spatial aura and Mental imprint within it won't lie."

His words were very certain.

Li Wen asked aloud, "Then, Instructor, this thing is already shattered like this, does it still have value?"

The item was a good one, but its current state clearly indicated damage.

He wondered if there would be any impact.

"You're right, there is some impact. The effect of this item is very singular."

"It's like a key to open a small space."

"If it's broken into multiple pieces, it can't open the space."

Gu Li immediately replied to this.

Seeing the somewhat bewildered expressions of Lin Shu, Chu Yu, and Li Wen,

it was clear they didn't understand the meaning of this small space.

So he continued to explain.

"Spirit Origin Level space-type beasts can create a separate space."

"This space, besides using spirit void jade, can only be opened by a space-type beast. Of course, this requires very high strength."

"Most Spirit Origin Level space-type beasts can't do it."

"Unfortunately, it's mostly incomplete now and cannot be repaired."

Gu Li spoke eloquently, and everyone suddenly understood.

They grasped the meaning within.

Lin Shu was a little surprised. This small Otherworld was almost entirely a breeding ground. What was the use of opening a small space?

Were there any secrets or treasures within it?

Clearly, everyone was interested in this small space.

They wanted to know what was inside.

Looking at the shattered jade, it seemed to be divided into four pieces.

And there just happened to be four beast tides and four leaders in this Otherworld.

It seemed there were many connections between them.

Lin Shu then tried to speak, voicing his guess.

"This shattered jade seems to be divided into four pieces."

"And there are also four locations for these beast tides."

"Presumably, there are three more leaders, and it's possible they also have fragments of this spirit void jade within their bodies."

Lin Shu's words were well-reasoned and convincing.

Since they had to clear the beast tides anyway, these two matters didn't conflict and could be done together.

If they could truly piece the spirit void jade back together, that would be for the best. If not, then it was simply not meant to be.

Just as a seventh-tier space-type material, its value wasn't too bad and could fetch a good price.

"You're right, there must be a connection between them."

"Perhaps the previous Otherworld creatures were hidden in this way."

Chu Yu echoed Lin Shu's idea, agreeing wholeheartedly.

"Don't get too excited, and don't hold too much hope."

"Just go with the flow."

"Since the beast tide in this area has been resolved, let's go back and rest."

"We'll have an answer in a few days."

Gu Li didn't feel much about it.

Actually, the battle didn't last too long.

Everyone wasn't too tired; the main thing was that Black Night needed to rest.

The few people roughly understood the meaning.

"Alright, Instructor."

Then, the group walked out of the area.

All the Black and White Feathered Beasts here were gone. Next, they would head to the other three beast tide locations.

On the way, Gu Li pulled out a pill from hisin arms.

A rich fragrance wafted from it. Just one whiff made people feel refreshed.

"This is an eighth-tier Myriad Healing Treasure Pill, specifically for healing hidden ailments."

"Although he doesn't seem to have any serious injuries, I'm afraid there might be some underlying issues."

"Have Black Night take it, just to be on the safe side."

Gu Li was extremely worried about Black Night's condition at this moment, fearing any unforeseen circumstances.

Such a promising talent in the blade path, and his student's ace beast no less, couldn't have any accidents halfway through.

His attitude was very firm, and Lin Shu found it difficult to refuse.

So he had no choice but to accept it. Black Night's stats showed no other injuries.

He was well aware of this, and using this treasure pill would be a waste, so he would save it for later... Back in the self-built house, the surroundings were unusually quiet.

Li Wen and Chu Yu, afraid of disturbing Black Night, didn't come over but instead wandered outside.

Tu Yao carried Black Night all the way. Although he wasn't light, it was still effortless for him.

He then placed him on the bed.

Ziyu, uncharacteristically, didn't ask Lin Shu for attribute points.

Instead, he shook his head, signaling to help Black Night.

Lin Shu smiled and patted his big head. He was actually so sensible now.

"Don't worry."

"I'll save Black Night now."

With that, he looked at the panel.

He checked his gains for the day.

(Proficiency: 2863)

The quantity was almost double compared to yesterday.

Ziyu's stunning performance far surpassed yesterday's, naturally leading to many more kills.

His choice yesterday was clearly not wrong.

Unfortunately, many Black and White Feathered Beasts had already escaped.

Otherwise, the proficiency could have increased by quite a bit more.

However, it was already enough. After all, there were still many beasts waiting for him in the Otherworld.

With a wave of his hand, he directly invested 900 proficiency points into Black Night.

He instantly leveled up two times, reaching Level 51.

A gentle current circulated within Black Night's body. The already faded bloodstains on him gradually healed under the energy's cleansing.

It also replenished his stamina and Mental energy.

After all, level-ups were comprehensive.

However, the effect was naturally not as practical as healing medicine; it only had an auxiliary role.

Black Night's arms trembled slightly.

Clearly, there was some movement. Ziyu and Tu Yao quickly lay on the ground, nervously watching this scene.

"Woof woof~"

The comfortable feeling made Black Night let out a soft whine.

He felt like he was in a hot spring, warm all over, a stark contrast to his previous exhaustion.

Then he suddenly opened his Ziyu.

He sprang up from the bed.

His eyes still held vigilance, as if he still thought he was in the middle of a beast tide.

It wasn't until he saw the items in the room and Lin Shu, Ziyu, and Tu Yao below him

that he finally relaxed.

At this moment, he felt better than ever before.

His perfect performance earlier must have been noticed by his master, right?

He then thought of taunting Ziyu.

But seeing the other party's unchanged worried expression,

he instantly stopped, slowly descending.

Clearly, the other party was worried about his previous injuries.

If he continued like that, it would be a bit unkind.

His sudden burst of energy was clearly due to his master adding points and healing him.

"Is everything alright?"

Lin Shu looked at Black Night's energetic state; he should be fine.

The latter shook his head, indicating he was well.

He returned to the ground, standing with Ziyu and Tu Yao.

Just like before, they waited for Lin Shu's favor, waiting for attribute points.

However, none of them fought for it; instead, they sat obediently in place, waiting for their allocation.

Lin Shu was very satisfied with this sight. These were good children.

He then spent another 670 proficiency points to raise Black Night's advanced skill - Black Night Phantom - to the 'Subtle' realm.

Black Night's speed advantage was already becoming less pronounced and needed to be boosted.

He needed to maintain a significant advantage in this aspect.

Moreover, compared to leveling up, improving advanced skills was equally cost-effective.

It could also greatly increase combat power.

From now on, Lin Shu would allocate proficiency points more towards skills.

Simply training clones wasn't as fast as before for skills above advanced level.

He also spent 1120 proficiency points to raise Ziyu by one level and Tu Yao by two levels.

183 points remained.

They reached levels 35 and 42 respectively.

The gap between everyone and Black Night was slowly narrowing.

It was no longer as huge as before.
