61: overwhelming wealth

Wu Mao Mountain.

At the bottom of the cliff valley.

Rip.

Jiang Chen tore off a piece of tattered sleeve and wiped his 1,300-jin saber with it.

He cleaned off all the sticky bloodstains.

However, several places were already blunted, but it didn't affect the effectiveness.

Towards the end, he basically relied on the saber's own weight to smash things.

【Enemy Slaying Value: 197 points】

【Cultivation Value: 950 points】

That is to say, Jiang Chen had just slain over a hundred demons.

These demons were originally in an environment rich in demonic Qi. Although their Realm was not high, their strength had increased significantly, both in terms of physique and vitality.

"Next, activating the martial arts scroll three times will require sixty, seventy, and eighty points respectively, for a total of two hundred and ten points."

"It seems I'm not far off."

His Cultivation Value also reached nine hundred and fifty points.

Of course, the main providers were the five Tian Po Sect members he had just slain, each giving eighty points of Cultivation Value.

Most of the demons below were in the Body Tempering Realm.

But their combat power was comparable to the Acquired Realm.

Jiang Chen's clothes were torn, but there wasn't a single scratch on his Physical Body.

This was the power of the Myriad Times Physical Body.

If he had cultivated some Body Refining Martial Skills.

Then Jiang Chen's defense and combat power would be even more terrifying.

Jiang Chen killed all the demons in the valley.

Over a hundred of them was truly a large number; their corpses piled up into a small mountain.

If it were an Xiantian Realm Martial Artist like Chu Yun.

She would probably be exhausted after killing a dozen or so.

And if they couldn't be killed in one blow, these demons recovered incredibly fast.

This was merely a rudimentary Yellow-Grade Demon Lair.

What kind of scene would a Profound-Grade, or even a more powerful Earth-Grade or Heaven-Grade one be?

Jiang Chen arrived before the rolling, swirling Qi vortex gate.

He could vaguely see countless fierce gazes on the other side of the dim Qi vortex gate, filled with savagery and murderous Qi. Some even smelled Jiang Chen's flesh and blood and frantically tried to extend their claws.

Clearly, these demons were already impatient to break out.

Although Jiang Chen really wanted to release these demons and then kill them to accumulate Enemy Slaying Value.

But in that case, these terrifying demons would flatten the cities and villages within thousands of miles.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and flicked his finger.

He threw the Demon Suppression Talisman inside.

As the Demon Suppression Talisman flew into the Qi vortex gate.

The next moment, it was like a bomb.

With a loud hum.

It released streams of Talisman Light crystal arrays, which, like a spider web, sealed off the entire Qi vortex gate.

Crack!

After this black Qi vortex gate was sealed by the Talisman Light crystals, the black Qi in the sky finally stopped falling.

Finally, the first crack appeared.

The Qi vortex gate before him shattered with a clang.

It transformed into some pure energy crystals, which fell one after another.

These were Demonic Crystals.

Yellow-Grade Demonic Crystals.

Demonic Crystals are also a very precious forging Material. Even the lowest Yellow-Grade Demonic Crystals can be used to forge Grade-three Spiritual Artifacts.

As for how much a Yellow-Grade Demonic Crystal could sell for, Jiang Chen didn't know.

Generally speaking, Black Yamen members who complete the Seal of a Demon Lair can receive half the number of Yellow-Grade Demonic Crystals produced.

After all, the Demon Suppression Talisman is also a consumable item.

In reality, the value of the Demon Suppression Talisman far exceeded the Yellow-Grade Demonic Crystals scattered all over the ground.

Jiang Chen counted them; there were roughly one hundred and fifty. If he handed over half, he would still get seventy-five.

He would see if he could find someone to help forge a precious saber then.

When Jiang Chen collected all the Yellow-Grade Demonic Crystals on the ground.

The Demon Lair finally completely dissipated at this moment.

The demonic Qi beneath the valley also began to disperse, purified by the surrounding Heaven and Earth power. The low-hanging dark clouds in the sky quickly dissipated, returning a clear sky to Wu Mao Mountain.

Outside Wu Mao Mountain, Zhao Jintian and the others looked up at the sky.

When they saw the dark clouds gradually dispersing, Zhao Jintian and the others trembled violently.

"Holy moly, what's going on? It succeeded!?"

"The Demon Lair has been Sealed!?"

"It must be Lord Chu and Jiang Chen's credit! Good heavens, this kid Jiang Chen, when he goes back, his rank will probably be higher than mine!"

Zhao Jintian grinned, not jealous in the slightest.

With such strength, he was bound to shine eventually.

"This bad guy actually did it..."

In the Immortal Cave, Chu Yun sat cross-legged, circulating her Qi to heal her injuries. She looked up at the dissipating gloom in the sky, a smile appearing on her face.

But then she remembered the promise she made to Jiang Chen after returning, to reward him well... How should she reward him? Would he act improperly? If he did, should she hide? What if Jiang Chen was really uncomfortable and couldn't hold back... Amidst her wild thoughts, Chu Yun felt her Qi becoming chaotic, and she quickly collected her thoughts, suppressing her Qi.

If he couldn't hold back, she would just help him.

Chu Yun settled on the final thought in her heart.

A ray of sunlight spilled into the deep valley abyss.

Jiang Chen also let out a slight sigh of relief.

Finally, he could go back and properly study his martial arts scroll.

However, this time he had to go to the more Advanced Shangwu Pavilion to exchange for some more powerful Martial Skills. Otherwise, while he could suppress people of average strength with absolute power.

If he encountered a strong individual whose Realm was similar to or even higher than his own.

He might not be able to withstand the offensive they unleashed.

Jiang Chen had such a smooth journey of killing precisely because there weren't many truly formidable experts.

"Ding... Cultivation Value + 5000"

As the last wisp of dark cloud dissipated.

Jiang Chen suddenly heard a System prompt.

The content instantly made Jiang Chen freeze.

"Eh?"

Jiang Chen quickly checked.

【Enemy Slaying Value: 197 points】

【Cultivation Value: 5950 points】

"It's true!"

"This... Could it be a reward for destroying a Demon Lair?"

"What immense fortune!"

Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

At the same time, he was fantasizing.

If it had given five thousand Enemy Slaying Value, he would have been thrilled on the spot.

But just as Jiang Chen had previously guessed, Jiang Chen could only obtain Cultivation Value by slaying demons or people with demonic power, so Cultivation Value was actually related to the demonic Qi Jiang Chen purified.

Now, sealing a nascent Yellow-Grade Demon Lair actually rewarded a full five thousand Cultivation Value.

Enough to allow Jiang Chen to Breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm on the spot!

However, as the demonic Qi beneath his feet dispersed, a huge crystal wall suddenly appeared in front, drawing Jiang Chen's attention.

To be precise, it was a crystal gate.

This glistening crystal seemed to have a calling sensation for Jiang Chen's Physical Body.

"The power within this crystal can be used for Body Refining!"

A thought flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

At the same time, he looked at this path, which seemed somewhat familiar.

"Isn't this..."

Jiang Chen pulled out the sheepskin map he had found from Wu Dingxiong earlier from his in arms.

He compared it and walked around a few times.

He found that the map depicted the bottom of the valley after it had been scoured by demonic Qi.

"What a coincidence?"

"This should be that Immortal Cave."

Jiang Chen's heart was filled with joy.

He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.

In such a powerful individual's Immortal Cave, he might be able to find some Advanced Martial Skills!

Just as Jiang Chen was about to investigate.

Suddenly, a piercing whooshing sound attacked him.

He saw a massive cylindrical tree stump attacking from above his head.

At the other end of the tree stump, a figure stood with his hands behind his back, one foot resting on the tree stump.

When he got close to Jiang Chen, he suddenly exerted force with his foot, and the tree stump instantly emitted a sharp whistling sound.

Clearly, he intended to smash Jiang Chen into a pulp.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen raised his hand and struck with his palm.

Boom!

The tree stump instantly exploded into pieces.

From beneath the flying wood chips came a surprised voice.

"Four Severing Palms?"
