Wang Lin then turned to the black-clothed middle-aged man’s storage bag. Within it was a yellow sheet of paper painted with black signs. Powerful bursts of chi flowed out of it.
Wang Lin recognized the yellow paper. He had once seen a similar piece of paper. This was likely an item created by a JieDan expert that was capable of utilizing its creator’s full strength exactly once. It was truly a precious dan treasure.
Holding the yellow paper, Wang Lin laughed grimly deep in his heart. Had the black-clothed middle-aged man been a bit more cautious and wielded this treasure, he clearly would not have been killed. This dan treasure was an ultimate weapon to be utilized only as a last resort. Unfortunately, when he had come across Wang Lin and his Ji Realm Divine Consciousness, the black-clothed middle-aged man had underestimated his enemy in his heart. Thus he had refrained from taking out this single-use treasure.
Apart from this dan treasure, the remaining items within the storage bag were not worthy of mentioning. After he finished organizing his spoils, Wang Lin touched between his eyebrows. The Heaven Revolting Bead slowly came out and hovered in mid-air.
Looking at the bead, Wang Lin gave a bitter smile. The Bead’s surface once again showed only the five leaves of the wood element. Wang Lin pondered for a moment. The Heaven Revolting Bead required the completion of five elements before it could exhibit its true formidable might. As of now, the water and fire spiritual element requirements had been satisfied, whereas the wood element requirement was still only half done. There were also the gold and earth element requirements necessary to complete the five elements.
Wang Lin looked forward to the day when the five elements would be completely combined. What kind of formidable power would the Bead show then? Presently, the Bead’s only benefit was the dream space. But how could such an item be so simple? After all, even Situ Nan, ZhuQue country’s number one expert, had been forced to fight over it to the point of having his mortal body destroyed.
Staring at the bead, Wang Lin’s eyes flashed. After patting between his eyebrows, he withdrew a jade strip from his storage bag. Grabbing it, Wang Lin studied the jade strip with his divine consciousness. This strip had been copied from War Shrine by Yang Xiong, and it contained within it various methods and chants used for refining.
During his journey, Wang Lin had not had a chance examine it. Now, he finally had some time to carefully study it.
At this very moment, within Huo Fen Country’s borders, countless volcanoes of all sizes released more and more concentrated black smoke. A frantic, fiery spirit force spread across all of Huo Fen Country.
Furthermore, the disciples of the four major sects had discovered the presence of the fire beasts within the volcanic craters. Shocked by this anomaly, they had rapidly used every method at their disposal to report this phenomenon.
The four major sects regarded the sealing of the volcanoes as simple task, even after they heard about the presence of the fire beasts. Only those who had achieved the YuanYing stage were able to truly appreciate this secret news and fully understand the situation.
At this time, within War Shrine’s Palace Hall sat four men and two women. The six people, separated into two sides, all frowned silently.
“Everyone, what are your thoughts on this matter?” A gray-haired old man with an ashen face seated on the left-hand side had posed the question with a gloomy voice.
“Brother Song, I have looked into the ancient records and discovered that these fire beasts are a type of spirit beast. In the ancient texts, words are always rather exaggerated and parts may be ignored. Even though we are facing spirit beasts, I believe that if the six of us join together, we can without a doubt beat them into submission. If we YuanYing masters rely on and trust each other, we can definitely subdue these trivial fire spirit beasts!” The person who had spoken was a middle-aged scholar with a face like Guan Yu’s1. He was cultured and refined, and although his voice was weak, it was filled with arrogance.
