"Hmph, this kind of spatial treasure is refined using an extremely small piece of space fragment. It is also a special treasure, but it doesn't have many uses. Especially since the space inside this piece is only a few hundred zhang wide, it's too small. At most, it's only equivalent to a movable, small-scale cave dwelling. It can't be called a Sumeru Grotto Heaven."
"In the Spirit World, there are many powerful clans that can refine independent spaces that are hundreds of miles wide, or even tens of thousands of miles wide. That can be called a Sumeru Grotto Heaven."
Hearing what Blue Sparrow said, Zhang Ling rolled his eyes.
He wouldn't dare to imagine an independent space tens of thousands of miles wide. Looking at the stone in his hand that could lead to the Sumeru Grotto Heaven, the joy in his heart didn't diminish by half.
With a thought, he immediately separated a wisp of his divine sense and carefully probed the stone.
As soon as his divine sense landed on the stone, he immediately sensed a hazy cloud of mist, blocking his vision. This obstruction wasn't too strong; he increased the strength of his divine sense and passed through it.
Suddenly, his vision opened up, and Zhang Ling saw a dilapidated small mountain appearing before his eyes.
This small mountain was the one they had entered before, but it had already collapsed for the most part, with ruins and broken walls everywhere.
Why is it this scene? Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment. He thought of how they were trapped inside before and fought fiercely. When they came out, the mountain had already been shattered by them.
It was exactly the scene before him.
Zhang Ling thought to himself that it seemed the things inside the Sumeru Grotto Heaven were the same as the outside world. Once the things inside were destroyed, they were truly destroyed.
Controlling his divine sense to transform into a faint clone, Zhang Ling wandered around the dilapidated mountain and discovered that although the mountain body was broken, the spiritual power on it hadn't weakened much.
Zhang Ling controlled his divine sense clone and entered the mountain body. After a while, he arrived at a stone cave in the mountain belly, which was only a dozen zhang wide. But he could hear the gurgling sound of water bubbles, and a faint layer of white mist shrouded it, emitting amazing heaven and earth spiritual energy.
In the center of the stone cave, there was a spirit eye spring surrounded by pebbles, and a half-zhang tall, emerald green small tree grew inside.
"Spirit eye spring, spirit eye tree, and three or four spirit eye stones. They all look like top-grade ones. No wonder this small mountain is so rich in spiritual energy. Haha, these alone make this trip worthwhile." Zhang Ling revealed a happy expression and whispered.
As long as this mountain is repaired, it can be used as a top-grade spiritual vein cave dwelling.
Blue Sparrow was playing with the top-grade gold spirit stone in her hand. Hearing his laughter, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"This time, getting the top-grade gold spirit stone counts as completing the task. Those few top-grade spirit stones of his, you can't let them fall behind. You have to collect them all for me within a hundred years."
"Don't worry, Senior." Zhang Ling also withdrew his divine sense and responded with a chuckle. Finally, he turned his eyes to the strange Gold Devouring Beast again.
"What should be done with this beast? Senior, are you going to keep it with you all the time?"
"That's natural. It's just that to keep this beast by my side, I have to constantly feed it gold spirit objects. I'll have to rely on you for this."
"Oh, what are the benefits of this beast? Will it cause any trouble?" Zhang Ling nodded, still planning to ask clearly about the use of this beast.
This Gold Devouring Beast is so special that it sounds like it can't be driven by beast-controlling methods like blood curses. Keeping it by his side might be a hidden danger.
After all, just now, the Gold Devouring Beast backfired on Blood Demon Sanren. Otherwise, even if this person was somewhat injured by his divine soul attack, and with Blue Sparrow's cooperation, without the help of the Gold Devouring Beast,
Zhang Ling would never have thought of dealing with such a late-stage Nascent Soul monster.
Even with so many helpers, he was almost taken away by this person's self-destruction.
Looking at the Black Tortoise next to him, which was still in a state of serious injury, the battle just now was extremely dangerous.
"Gold Devouring Beast, a heaven and earth exotic beast. It likes to devour gold spiritual energy. This beast can spew out Golden Fiend Evil Wind. You've probably already seen the power it has in battle. If this beast can help, trapping Nascent Soul cultivators like you wouldn't be a problem.
This is only secondary.
The greatest use of the Golden Fiend Evil Wind is to cleanse the cultivator's physical body. Moreover, this beast can produce Golden Marrow Jade Liquid in its body, which is also a rare spiritual liquid for marrow washing and hair cutting. It can also quickly repair meridian damage. In other words, with this beast by your side, even if you practice a body refining technique, you'll definitely get twice the result with half the effort. This kind of exotic beast is an opportunity that countless body refining cultivators fight for."
As Blue Sparrow explained, Zhang Ling's interest in this Gold Devouring Beast grew stronger and stronger.
"Alright, I consumed a lot in the battle just now. I need to rest for a while. I'll leave this little guy to you."
After Blue Sparrow finished speaking, she yawned, and a look of exhaustion immediately appeared on her face. Looking in the direction of the Black Tortoise, she saw that the Black Tortoise also sensed something and opened its mouth to spit out the black Two-Yi Gourd.
Blue Sparrow turned into a ray of spiritual light and entered it. Only the Gold Devouring Beast, swaying and constantly flying around, was left in place.
"While this little thing is greatly injured, feed it more gold spirit objects to get closer to it. Maybe you can find some Golden Marrow Spiritual Liquid. As long as you refine one or two drops of essence spiritual liquid, your physical body strength can be enhanced by several levels in a short period of time. By the way, the intelligence of this kind of exotic beast is not very high."
Blue Sparrow transmitted her voice to him before entering the gourd. These words made Zhang Ling's expression change slightly, and he immediately looked at the Gold Devouring Beast with a smile.
The Gold Devouring Beast seemed to have reached some agreement with Blue Sparrow and didn't reject him.
But it didn't approach him either. Instead, it curiously flew to the Black Tortoise's side and flew around the Black Tortoise up and down.
It seemed to be wondering what the Black Tortoise was doing.
Zhang Ling smiled helplessly, and suddenly flipped his hand and took out a sparkling golden spirit stone, tossing it up and down in his hand.
It immediately attracted the attention of the Gold Devouring Beast. This was a top-grade gold spirit stone.
The Gold Devouring Beast hesitated for a while and called out to him, "Goo goo." The blood-red light spots on the ball moved a few times, seeming to be asking for the gold spirit stone.
Zhang Ling was naturally very generous and threw the gold spirit stone over. The Gold Devouring Beast instantly turned into a golden light, and in one fell swoop, it bit the spirit stone in its mouth and crunched it.
This made Zhang Ling's mouth twitch. He secretly said that this beast was indeed talented. Gold spirit stones were originally the hardest of the five elements spirit stones, and the hardness of top-grade gold spirit stones was definitely not weaker than ordinary fine iron magic weapons.
The Gold Devouring Beast chewed the gold spirit stone in a few strokes.
After the Gold Devouring Beast finished eating the gold spirit stone, it flew over, "Goo goo." It circled around him a few times, and Zhang Ling smiled and took out a few more gold spirit stones.
The Gold Devouring Beast excitedly opened its mouth. Its body, like a ball, instantly bulged out, and it spewed out a golden mist, rolled up a few gold spirit stones, and swallowed them into its mouth.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling couldn't help but secretly say that with such a way of eating, he was afraid that he would hardly be able to bear it.
Fortunately, after the Gold Devouring Beast ate a few spirit stones, it seemed to be a little tired. It directly landed in his hand and bumped into the stone in Zhang Ling's hand that opened the Sumeru Grotto Heaven.
"You want to enter inside." Zhang Ling immediately understood what this beast meant.
Zhang Ling smiled and nodded. The Gold Devouring Beast directly turned into a golden light, approached the stone, and instantly merged into it, disappearing.
There were no restrictions on this stone. Originally, as long as he had a thought, he could enter it. The role of this stone was more like a teleportation array. It directly transmitted the cultivator into the interior of the space fragment it led to.
A wisp of Zhang Ling's divine sense also entered it with the Gold Devouring Beast at this time. The Gold Devouring Beast wandered around inside the Sumeru Grotto Heaven and directly rushed into the spirit eye spring inside the body.
It directly turned into a crystal ball and fell to the side, seeming to fall into a deep sleep.
A spiritual light flashed in Zhang Ling's hand, wanting to put this stone into the storage bag. But the stone didn't react at all and was still grasped in his hand.
He immediately thought that this type of space treasure generally couldn't be put into the storage bag. This could be considered a small shortcoming.
Shaking his head, he could only insert this stone into his sleeve. Getting such a treasure naturally made Zhang Ling feel great.
After going back, he had to carefully study how big the space inside this Sumeru Grotto Heaven was. There was only that small mountain inside, but it didn't occupy the entire space, leaving a small half of the area.
Using it as a large storage bag would definitely not be a problem.
Although his Two-Yi Gourd could also be used as a space treasure that purely belonged to items, and it was not a problem to put living things in it.
It was similar to this kind of virtual treasure.
But the gourd was not a true space treasure after all. Most of the things put inside would be corroded by the green and white qi inside over time, which was the Five Aggregates Spiritual Light.
Only things that were stained with his qi and blood would not be affected when put inside. And only his natal magic treasure, Heavenly Star Sand, and seven flying swords would not be affected at all.
Even when going out, in order to hide the existence of the Black Tortoise, he would only let the Black Tortoise stay inside temporarily.
Once he stayed inside for a long time, the Five Aggregates Spiritual Light would have a certain impact on the spiritual energy of the living beings themselves.
Similarly, only he himself was not affected. This might be the reason why Blue Sparrow said before that the Two-Yi Gourd was not suitable for refining into a natal magic treasure.
Zhang Ling had already discovered these special situations. It's just that he hadn't taken it seriously all along.
And the Five Aggregates Treasure Technique that Blue Sparrow passed on to him before also had an introduction to this. So he knew more about the characteristics of the Two-Yi Gourd.
A blood light flashed beside him, and the blood qi gradually became thinner. The injuries suffered by the Black Tortoise had been repaired almost, and the bloody and blurred two hands and feet had also grown out again.
As soon as the blood light dispersed, the Black Tortoise opened its mouth again and spat out a black ice block the size of a foot. At the same time, the Black Tortoise's body stretched out and instantly turned into a human form again.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Ling nodded and said.
The Black Tortoise also opened his mouth expressionlessly and muttered to himself, "I am one with you."
Although the second primordial spirit hadn't left him for a long time, such a dialogue still made Zhang Ling feel a little different in his heart.
Therefore, he had to assimilate with the second primordial spirit every once in a while.
Although it was very troublesome, the Black Tortoise controlled by this second primordial spirit was of great help in the usual battles.
Especially this time, if the Black Tortoise hadn't blocked most of the power of the Blood Demon Sanren's self-destruction, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be seriously injured.
Sensing the Black Tortoise's current state, although the Black Tortoise had a regenerative body, and it wouldn't die even if a large part of its body was missing.
But it wasn't that there was no consumption. This time, it consumed a lot of origin, especially the blood qi power consumed to repair the body.
Zhang Ling took out a black jade bottle and threw it to the Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise directly opened the jade bottle and poured the blood-colored pills inside into his mouth.
This was the fourth-grade pill, Blood Condensation Pill, that he had refined to replenish blood qi.
Refining these pills, the Black Tortoise could recover as before in two or three months of recuperation.
Zhang Ling waved his hand and grabbed the ice block that the Black Tortoise spat out in his hand. Inside, it was sealing a piece of irregular gold and white iron sheet.
This iron sheet was the fragment of the spiritual treasure controlled by the Blood Demon Sanren. At the last moment of this person's self-destruction, this person controlled this iron sheet and launched a terrifying attack.
At that time, it cut Blue Sparrow's body in half at once, and even attacked the Black Tortoise with undiminished momentum, cutting off the Black Tortoise's two arms.
If Zhang Ling hadn't moved his mind and let the Black Tortoise mobilize a large amount of ice-cold spiritual power in his body at all costs, freezing this iron sheet,
Zhang Ling himself didn't have enough confidence to block the attack of this thing.
Just now, it seemed that Blue Sparrow's body was fine. He didn't know how this guy escaped.
Zhang Ling suddenly had this thought in his heart and smiled bitterly. It seemed that this Blue Sparrow probably had many hidden methods.
He tapped the storage bag lightly, and Zhang Ling had another piece of gold and white iron sheet sealed in yellow light in his hand. This was the iron sheet that he had trapped the White Tiger Demon Spirit transformed from before.
At this time, it seemed that the two iron sheets could be said to be exactly the same. The material and the spiritual light on them were extremely similar, only the size was slightly different.
But it was obviously a fragment from the same treasure.
It's just, how could these two pieces of spiritual treasure fragments appear in this abandoned spirit mine and turn into White Tiger Demon Spirits.
It seemed to have a great relationship with the Blood Demon Sanren, maybe it was the treasure in this person's hands.
Zhang Ling frowned slightly and thought. The Blood Demon Sanren had already self-destructed his Nascent Soul, and his divine soul had dissipated. Even if he wanted to use the Soul Searching Technique to find out these secrets, it was impossible.
At this time, a tiger roar entered his ears.
The two iron sheets suddenly reacted, and at the same time, they shook and turned into two mini white tigers, attacking the yellow light and black ice that sealed them.
The two iron sheets were full of spirituality and could turn into White Tiger Demon Spirits to act on their own.
Zhang Ling quickly pinched the magic formula and added a few layers of seals on it to prevent the two iron sheets from escaping.
However, as soon as he acted, a golden light rushed out of his sleeve again, turning into a soft golden flying sword. It was the somewhat special flying sword that was found under the remains of the ancient cultivator in the mine before.
Zhang Ling revealed a surprised look, wondering why this strange thing also reacted.
The soft golden small sword flew into the air and released a dazzling light.
The two spiritual treasure fragments in his hand seemed to be attracted and let out a tiger roar, shaking even more violently.
The two iron sheets turned into small tigers, releasing white traces like sword light and sword qi, constantly pouncing on the yellow light restriction and black profound ice that sealed them.
The yellow light made a "poof poof" sound, which was extremely unstable. The black profound ice also cracked a few cracks.
Zhang Ling shook his hand expressionlessly and sprayed a thick condensed light on the iron sheet sealed by the yellow light, which added several layers of seals.
The Black Tortoise also opened his mouth and spat out a cold air, repairing the profound ice that sealed the iron sheet.
