32: Chapter 32 The Rate of Return for Mutations!

Deathly silence.

This Feng He probably didn't even know how he died!

Three arrows... just three arrows... three arrows from a sneak attack, and they claimed his life!

And these three arrows also allowed the people of Pingshu Town to feel a majesty they hadn't experienced in a long time.

"Is this... an official of the Immortal Dynasty?"

"A First Grade Geomancer, killed just like that?"

"How did Lord Shen know?"

Mining Team Leader Xu felt a sense of familiarity and hurried forward... he turned the corpse over, only for his pupils to shrink suddenly.

"My Lord... this... this... this..."

"This is the Geomancer who followed the Xu Family here!"

"It's actually him!"

Watching the stammering Mining Team Leader Xu, Shen Yi nodded casually...

Seeing Mining Team Leader Xu seemingly recall something, he hurriedly rummaged through the body.

Shen Yi watched with a look of disgust.

Before long, Mining Team Leader Xu removed a bronze-colored, plain-looking ring.

He ran to Shen Yi and knelt on the ground!

"My Lord... this item is a treasure!"

Shen Yi was somewhat puzzled.

Mining Team Leader Xu hurriedly explained.

"When this person came here... we were working in the mine and saw with our own eyes that he was chanting an incantation. This ring emitted light..."

"Then, a compass appeared in the Geomancer's hand."

"A Sumeru Mustard Seed? A Storage Pouch?"

Shen Yi looked closely... and was surprised to find it was made by the Tianji Pavilion!

Although it only had ten square meters of space, it was worth over ten thousand copper coins!

This damn Geomancer, how could he be so rich?

Shen Yi's mind stirred... and he injected his Official Aura into it!

The methods to open different Sumeru Mustard Seeds varied.

Sumeru Mustard Seeds made by the Tianji Pavilion could naturally be opened with Official Aura.

After all, the Tianji Pavilion was affiliated with the imperial government...

A wisp of Official Aura swirled and was injected into it... the ring itself was an ownerless object.

Stimulated by the Official Aura.

The items inside were suddenly dumped out in a scattered heap.

Shen Yi looked carefully and beamed with joy.

"One hundred and thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones? This Geomancer is quite wealthy..."

"Hmm? Sixteen-Character Landscape Geomancy Secret Technique? This item... is actually a damaged Second Grade one?"

"No wonder this person was so wealthy; a Geomancer refined by a Second Grade Geomancy Secret Technique is far stronger than a First Grade!"

"Frost Talisman? Earth Escape Talisman? Ghost Wall?"

"Are these all Talismans?"

"Concealment Talisman?"

"It seems this person used these Talismans to sneak in here..."

"Wait... this compass is actually a Magical Artifact?"

"It's just a pity... I don't have a Spiritual Root, so I can't use it!"

"Even if I could use it, I wouldn't understand the logic behind it!"

"It looks like... I should consider whether to sell this item?"

The Legacy of a Geomancer, or the Legacy of any of the hundred arts of cultivation, could be sold for a high price.

Things are precious when they are rare; a Second Grade Geomancy Secret Technique is already quite valuable.

However, Shen Yi was more inclined to find a good seedling himself and hand it over to him.

So he wouldn't be completely blind when performing geomancy in the future...

However, with his intelligence probability... he didn't seem to be afraid of sitting on a gold mine without knowing it.

Shen Yi shook his head and continued looking.

"Turtle shell... made from the molted remains of a Second Grade Spirit Turtle, not bad."

"Divine Speed Talisman..."

"Why are there so many Talismans?"

"Medicinal Pill... Yuan-Returning Pill, Soul-Condensing Pill, both are First Grade Medicinal Pills."

"Wait..."

Shen Yi looked at a grayish stone.

It looked like flint, with traces of use on the edges.

"This is... a Low Grade enlightenment stone?"

"Fair Contract? First Grade? That's interesting."

The enlightenment stone can help a Cultivator comprehend techniques and is very precious.

This item doesn't rely on grade; the larger the piece, the longer it lasts.

When a Cultivator practices techniques or seeks to comprehend the secrets of the hundred arts, there are moments when they get stuck and can't find the key... they often need a flash of inspiration.

And the enlightenment stone can help a Cultivator enter a state of deep meditation and flash of inspiration!

This item... good stuff!

This little piece must be worth two thousand copper coins!

And the Fair Contract... this item can be used to establish a contract between two parties; it is considered a kind of fair object.

If one party violates it, they will be labeled as untrustworthy by the imperial government.

And hunted down by the Inspection Division!

Good stuff!

Shen Yi smiled and tucked everything into his pocket.

Cutting weeds and eliminating roots; the appearance of this Feng He itself was unreasonable.

He didn't follow moral principles in his work, acting sneakily; killing him was justifiable!

One Storage Pouch, one enlightenment stone, plus many Talismans and Medicinal Pills.

It's simply a windfall from heaven!

Of course, Shen Yi was not too arrogant... he had merely taken advantage of the sneak attack.

This Feng He had first lost his sanity from being burned by fire, then was sneak-attacked, and on top of that, a Geomancer's Physical Body is inherently weak.

He was caught off guard, which is why he fell for it.

If it were any other Immortal Dao Cultivator at their peak, he definitely wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!

The corpse... no one managed it.

Wang Meng collected all the 'Earth Element Stone' fragments and handed them to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi smiled and put them into his Storage Pouch; with a flash of Official Aura, those things disappeared before his eyes!

"Let's go!"

The mine was still somewhat scorching; after walking for only a moment, Shen Yi was drenched in sweat.

Wang Meng and the Dao Soldiers in front were unaffected...

They moved the rubble from the tunnel... and a somewhat narrow passageway appeared.

The feedback of pure Spiritual Qi made even a Mortal like Shen Yi, who lacked Spiritual Qi, feel a wave of comfort!

The passageway was very clean and quite tall.

There were only some footprints of Stone Demons.

Wang Meng led the way... as for the commoners, they had all retreated back to Pingshu Town.

The passageway, crowded with sixty people, seemed endless.

It took about several dozen breaths of time.

The passageway reached its end.

And just at this moment... Wang Meng returned, turned around, and came to Shen Yi's side, whispering.

"My Lord... you have to come and see!"

Shen Yi nodded and hurried forward.

Looking at the end of the passageway, his pupils shrank suddenly!

The end of this passageway was just a small space of a few hundred square meters.

In this small space, there were clearly traces of manual excavation.

But judging by the traces, it was not excavated recently...

Is it... from ancient Cultivators?

Holding a skeptical attitude, Shen Yi's gaze was burning.

He looked at a shallow pond, which reflected a cluster of stalactites.

As the lush mist rose, a drop of milky white liquid condensed on the stalactite cluster.

The liquid rolled into the pond... stirring up ripples!

[First Grade Heaven and Earth Wonder: Stalactite Spirit]

[First Grade High-Quality Heaven and Earth Wonder, Stalactite Spirit Liquid!]

Not far from the pond, a giant python was undergoing metamorphosis, its stone-gray skin slowly shedding, while green scales slowly grew, coiled in one place...

[First Grade Stone Spirit (Undergoing Metamorphosis) -> Green Python Stone Spirit]

And on the surface of its skin grew extremely bloody red vines.

These vines dug deep into its flesh, causing it immense pain.

And that Xu Erniang was sweating profusely, trying to peel off the vines, but had not been able to do so for a long time...

Shen Yi's mind stirred, his breathing nearly stopped!

[On the Stone Spirit about to undergo metamorphosis, an 'immortal seeking vine' has appeared. Is it luck? Or misfortune?]

[The immortal seeking vine can be subdued and bound to the spine... by absorbing the essence of vegetation for nourishment, it can generate the special Physique 'Spirit Seeking Vine Wood Physique'.]

[Note: If the essence of vegetation is insufficient, it will consume the host's own blood Qi!]

[Rate of Return: 444%]

[Save the Stone Spirit, Rate of Return: 221%!]

"Intelligence probability... it changed again!"
