961: Fifty-five thousand years

“With this Spirit Gathering Pill, I do indeed have the possibility of breaking through a Realm,” Jiangshan nodded seriously, then sighed slightly, “But unfortunately, within our Jiangshan City, there are no exotic beasts over 40,000 years old.”

Without exotic beasts of that age providing cards, the power to condense the Second Miracle would not be enough. If he were to forcefully break through with an exotic beast of twenty or thirty thousand years, it would ultimately just be a waste of the Spirit Gathering Pill and exotic beast resources.

After saying this, Jiangshan immediately gripped the Spirit Gathering Pill and gritted his teeth, “But Xingchen, you don’t need to worry. These two days, I will take advantage of the night to go out alone and hunt high-year exotic beasts myself!”

“Since there is a Spirit Gathering Pill, the matter of exotic beasts is not a problem!”

Jiangshan was very clear about the current situation.

If he didn’t break through his current Realm, waiting for the strong enemies outside to attack would surely lead to a tragic outcome!

At this moment, Du Xingchen had already provided the Spirit Gathering Pill, something that is incredibly rare and, in a sense, a Divine Pill. This was also his opportunity!

“The area outside the entire Jiangshan City is definitely under the surveillance of those few guys outside right now. Grandpa Jiangshan, no matter when you go out, you will definitely be discovered by them. The method of going outside to search for and hunt high-year exotic beasts is not advisable.”

Du Xingchen stated the situation that Jiangshan also understood.

Going out at this time was certainly accompanied by danger, but not going out meant there would be no high-year exotic beast cards, no way to break through, and no way to resolve the situation.

“I have a way to solve the problem of exotic beasts,” Du Xingchen said calmly.

The reason he said he had a way was naturally the reward from the System just now.

Within Jiangshan City, there were indeed no exotic beasts of 40,000 years and above.

After all, exotic beasts of that strength were not traded as frequently as common thousand-year exotic beasts.

But if the ages of two exotic beasts were combined to reach or even exceed the 40,000-year limit, there were many options!

“You have a way?” Jiangshan’s tone was surprised, but there was no look of doubt on his face.

From the moment he received the Spirit Gathering Pill, he had no doubts about Du Xingchen.

And since he said he had a way, Jiangshan was more interested in knowing how to solve this problem.

“Grandpa Jiangshan, do you have any information on the oldest group of exotic beasts currently in the city?”

“Of course,” Jiangshan nodded, then walked to his City Lord’s office, searched for a while, and then took out a stack of documents and handed them to Du Xingchen.

Exotic beasts of average age were not deliberately recorded. Only exotic beasts that were over 25,000 years old, which could threaten the existence of Grand Sage Masters, would be recorded by Jiangshan.

Exotic beasts of this age were basically captured by experts from Jiangshan City in the surrounding areas and held in Jiangshan City awaiting buyers.

There were also some private hunting teams, and the high-year exotic beasts they brought into Jiangshan City were also included in the records.

After all, exotic beasts of this level were quite dangerous, and each one entering Jiangshan City required a certain detention fee.

Flipping through the documents in his hand, after reading a few pages, what Du Xingchen saw most were exotic beasts around 26,000 to 27,000 years old.

Exotic beasts of the 30,000-year level also existed, but they only accounted for about ten to twenty percent.

And the highest-year exotic beast was a 33,000-year-old Storm Bull Demon.

An exotic beast of this level was extremely attractive to a Peak Saint Master.

After all, the race of this exotic beast itself was an extremely powerful existence, and the Soul Card it formed contained a massive amount of power!

Using it to condense the First Miracle had a very high success rate!

However.

If it were used to condense Jiangshan’s Second Miracle and break through to Supreme, the success rate would be extremely slim!

The minimum requirement for the Second Miracle was a Soul Card at the 40,000-year boundary. This was the absolute minimum!

The Storm Bull Demon simply could not cross this point!

This was also the main reason why Jiangshan had the idea of going out to hunt other exotic beasts.

If there were an exotic beast of the 40,000-year level in Jiangshan City, no matter how incompatible it was with himself, Jiangshan would definitely try it without hesitation.

But since there wasn’t, he could only risk leaving.

Putting the Storm Bull Demon’s information aside, Du Xingchen pulled out two documents from the many exotic beast records.

There were a total of 32 records of exotic beasts over 25,000 years old, but Du Xingchen only found two exotic beasts of the same species among them.

Fortunately, the compatibility of these two exotic beasts with Jiangshan’s Martial Soul was quite high and suitable!

[White Bone King Kong]: 26,000 years

[White Bone King Kong]: 29,000 years

Exotic Beast Evaluation: Beast General level exotic beast, growth limit 30,000 years, within the same level, possesses first-class strength, suitable for Saint Masters to condense the First Miracle and break through to Grand Sage Master.

The two documents recorded the same information, only the age was different.

“Grandpa Jiangshan, a Soul Card with a combined age of 55,000 years should be enough for you to break through, right?” Du Xingchen looked at Jiangshan with a smile.

...

That night.

“Rumble~”

Outside Jiangshan City.

Dull, heavy thuds continued incessantly.

Card equipment, like a large pile of gold and silver treasures, slammed onto the shield.

While transmitting terrifying energy fluctuations, it also caused the users to feel a pang of heartache.

Looking out beyond the Jiangshan City shield at this moment.

Apart from the initial four Beast Supremes, they were followed by ten newly joined Grand Sage Masters.

And behind these fourteen people, on the vast sandy ground, lay a field of corpses!

The strong smell of blood seemed to turn into steaming bloody light, staining the yellow sand and transforming it towards a blood-red color.

In the more distant areas.

Some people who had witnessed the tragic scene of the massacre during the day did not dare to stay too long and retreated from that area early.

“Teacher, aren’t we going to Jiangshan City?” In the cold desert, under the faint moonlight, the Linshan Country Royal Family’s Prodigy looked at Jiangshan City in the distance, then asked Miao Gou’er.

“Go? How to go?” Miao Gou’er glanced at the Student who asked the question, her voice carrying some displeasure, “Not to mention that with those guys attacking Jiangshan City, that old fellow Jiangshan won’t possibly open the city protection array for us. Just our current stance doesn’t allow us to appear among those people.”

“This guy Jiangshan was simply using you in Jiaolong Valley to help his juniors, and now he has put us in such an awkward situation!”

“We weren’t helping for free. Du Xingchen and the others promised to give us half of the inheritance gains,” said Iron Snail, the Captain of the Linshan Country Royal Family Prodigy team.

Hearing this, Miao Gou’er’s expression improved slightly, “It’s best if it’s really like this, but half is not enough.”

With that, the woman said to the prodigies behind her, “Let’s go. We will temporarily find a hiding place in this Outer Domain.”

“I have already written to the Royal Family about the situation here.”

“Before, the location of the God’s inheritance was uncertain, and the Royal Family couldn’t act rashly. Now that the God’s inheritance has clearly been obtained by someone from our Linshan Country, the Royal Family will definitely step in. We don’t need to worry about the subsequent matters. With the Royal Family’s experts taking action, these small fry naturally wouldn’t dare to act presumptuously!”

“That old fellow Jiangshan also needs to prepare to hand over all the gains from this Jiaolong Valley.”

Miao Gou’er’s tone still carried a hint of unwillingness.

She regretted that the inheritance had not been obtained by her Students.

The main reason for negotiating cooperation with the Lord Jiangshan before was considering the situation where the inheritance fell to these Children of the Linshan Country Royal Family prodigies.

At that time, Jiangshan could be used as a strong shield.

Now that the most important inheritance had been absorbed by someone else, the situation was basically irreversible.

This meant they could only extract more value from Jiangshan later.

He was just a Grand Sage Master. Even if he was powerful in this Realm, when the Royal Family’s Supreme Experts arrived, he would have to lie down like a bug obediently!

Thinking this, Miao Gou’er said no more and quickly left with the Students behind her.

The swirling sand continued to move forward.

However, the main color of this Desert paused in a certain area, and the calmed winds only left behind a stagnant area covered in sand.

This was Jiaolong Valley.

The Jiaolong Valley that appeared in the Desert this morning.

At this moment, around Jiaolong Valley, there were still many people gathered whose hearts were shaken.

Besides the shock, more people were clearly coveting the treasures within Jiaolong Valley.

On a mountain Peak.

Moyun was still cultivating with his eyes closed.

And in a void a hundred meters away from him, the Goddess was talking with Hemp Robe Supreme.

“Why didn’t you stop those people today?! If you had acted, the God’s inheritance would already be ours in the Divine Hall. What exactly were you doing at that time?!” The Goddess looked at the Hemp Robe Supreme in front of her with a cold face, scolding him.

Facing the Goddess’s angry scolding, Hemp Robe Supreme didn’t show much change in expression, only a slight frown.

Unlike the other Elders, although Hemp Robe Supreme’s strength wasn’t ranked high among the many Supremes in the Divine Hall, in terms of seniority, he was among the group of Old Men who followed the Prince, which was the Goddess’s Father, in conquering the world!

Therefore, when Hemp Robe Supreme saw the Goddess’s words filled with such a loss of composure and angry scolding, there was no fear in his eyes, only disappointment.

“Goddess Prince, I haven’t even asked you yet, why did Jiaolong Valley suddenly become like this? And why did that Dragon skull appear on the A Man you were following?!”

“Is this matter related to you, Goddess Prince?!”

An undisguised question came from the Old Man’s mouth.

This made the Goddess’s accumulated anger sweep away, replaced by a slight evasiveness in her gaze, “I don’t know about these things.”

“Then that A Man himself discovered the Dragon skull and did this?” Hemp Robe Supreme looked at Moyun who was cultivating in the distance, “According to the agreement between the Prince and the Linshan Country Royal Family, whichever side destroyed Jiaolong Valley would have to pay a large compensation, and if that matter was done by an outsider, that person would have to pay the price with their life.”

Speaking of this, Hemp Robe Supreme slightly raised his hand.

The terrifying aura fluctuation of a Supreme seemed capable of evolving into an extremely terrifying attack in the next instant!

“Don’t!” The Goddess shouted loudly, “I told him the secret within Jiaolong Valley!”

The Goddess shouted rapidly.

These words, which were within Hemp Robe Supreme’s expectation, caused him to let out a heavy sigh, “Goddess Prince, the Prince will be very disappointed in your performance.”
