Eat Until Full

Chen Xuan also sensed the disturbance in the distance and immediately asked, “Brother Mu, can we keep this thing?”

“Of course we can. Put it with me for now. Have you forgotten? I can set up a spatial formation on my body.”

As Xu Mu spoke, he opened his storage space and tossed the white short sword inside.

Only then did Chen Xuan smile. “Brother Mu, look! There are cultivation techniques here too.”

Xu Mu lowered his head and glanced at the treasures scattered all around them. There were far more here than in the other areas.

“Old Chen, I’ve noticed a simple pattern.”

“What is it?”

Chen Xuan looked at Xu Mu curiously.

“Going by common sense, wouldn’t the stronger people have more and better treasures in their possession?”

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

Chen Xuan was a smart man and immediately understood what Xu Mu meant.

He lowered his head and examined the area around them. Among the pile of treasures here, there were not only a large number of spirit stones, but also cultivation techniques and plenty of ashes from heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Finally, there was even an artifact.

In the other areas, however, some contained only a few scattered spirit stones.

Others had nothing but discarded heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which could not compare with this place at all.

“I understand. We should head for the places with more items. Those are probably where the spatial rings of powerful experts were shattered.”

Chen Xuan gave Xu Mu a thumbs-up. “Such a simple principle, yet I never thought of it.”

“Let’s hurry.”

Xu Mu used his perception to scan the surroundings. This was an open area with no obstructions, so he did not need any living beings to help him search.

He no longer needed to rely on his eyes to observe spiritual resonance, either. He only had to look for places with large numbers of cultivation techniques and the remains of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

At last, he spotted another such place and immediately rushed over.

When he arrived, he saw several cultivation techniques. Judging by the strength of their spiritual resonance, the white sphere covered in writing was actually a Heaven-grade cultivation technique.

Xu Mu stored the cultivation techniques and all the spirit stones in the area inside his storage space.

He continued searching and soon found another location. However, there were only more spirit stones there and no other treasures.

Suddenly, within the range of Xu Mu’s perception, he noticed an area that seemed to contain something good.

When he hurried over, he found a vast quantity of heavenly materials and earthly treasures scattered across the ground, densely piled together.

Moreover, they were all extremely high-grade treasures.

There were only two cultivation techniques here, but after examining them, Xu Mu found that both were Earth-grade.

Of course, those were not what attracted Xu Mu. What caught his attention was a pill furnace about the size of a basketball.

The furnace was dark red on the outside, but upon closer inspection, it seemed almost transparent.

It was extremely simple in design, resembling a spittoon with a lid placed on top and three legs beneath it.

There were no other intricate features.

Xu Mu had been drawn to the furnace because, after examining it with his ability, he discovered that the spiritual resonance surrounding it was astonishingly powerful—no weaker than that of the artifact Chen Xuan had found earlier.

He tried putting the furnace into his spatial ring, but found that he could not.

The spatial formation within the ring could not envelop it at all.

“As expected, it’s an artifact. I heard before that artifacts are formed from the bones of beings above the Immortal realm. I never imagined that an Immortal could transform into a pill furnace.”

Xu Mu immediately placed the furnace into his storage space as well.

At the same time.

Hathaway had already regrouped with Raife and Sharp of the Holy Light Clan, and the three of them entered this place together.

Ying Weiyang and Xianling Nan came in with them.

When the two saw the scene before them, they were both utterly stunned.

Ying Weiyang covered her small mouth. “So many spirit stones? How many of me could all this buy?”

“This is the first time I’ve ever seen a sight like this.”

Xianling Nan also stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

“This is the Battlefield of the Gods. Why do you think those top-tier races have been constantly investigating places like this?”

Hathaway glanced at Xianling Nan. “A single treasure from the Battlefield of the Gods is enough to raise an ordinary race by several levels within ten years. If they’re lucky, they might even become a first-rate race.”

Xianling Nan looked into the distance, where spirit stones lay scattered in piles like a field of ripe wheat waiting to be harvested.

Spirit stones, top-tier cultivation techniques, and even artifacts—if the White Stone Clan truly obtained them, they could indeed greatly increase their strength within just ten years.

“We need to move quickly. Others have already gotten ahead of us!”

Raife immediately flew toward the distance.

Hathaway and Sharp followed him.

Seeing that they had all left, Xianling Nan said to Ying Weiyang, “Let’s go down as well. Try not to collect spirit stones. Look for other treasures instead. Spirit stones take up too much space.”

“Okay.”

Ying Weiyang nodded.

Xu Mu had given her a spatial ring. If she used it to store spirit stones, it would be filled in no time.

Besides, the others who had entered were not collecting spirit stones either. They were searching for other treasures.

“Xu Mu, are you there?”

Ying Weiyang spoke into the formation on the back of her hand.

“I’m here. Are you all right?”

Xu Mu’s voice entered Ying Weiyang’s ear.

“Great, I’m fine. I’ve also arrived at this place filled with spirit stones. I’m going to look for treasures now.”

Ying Weiyang continued speaking to the back of her hand.

Xianling Nan, standing beside her, was astonished. He had not expected Xu Mu to possess a technique like this.

“Go ahead. Be careful. If anyone tries to take your treasures, don’t fight them. Just hand the treasures over.”

Xu Mu’s voice came through again.

“I know.”

Ying Weiyang agreed.

Xianling Nan asked curiously, “I still don’t know what your relationship with Xu Mu is.”

“I was bought by him. I’m following him for now.”

Ying Weiyang glanced at Xianling Nan and explained.

“Bought? You mean you’re his servant?”

Xianling Nan had lived in the Inner Realm from the beginning, so he naturally knew about this. It was extremely common in the Inner Realm.

“That’s right.”

Ying Weiyang nodded with a smile. “Xu Mu treats me very well—far better than my previous buyers did. I’ve decided to follow him for the rest of my life.”

Although Xianling Nan had not spent much time with Xu Mu, he could already make a good guess about Xu Mu’s character.

Being his servant would certainly be far better than serving anyone else.

“Let’s hurry and look for treasures.”

After saying this, Xianling Nan crouched down and began rummaging through the heavenly materials and earthly treasures piled together on the ground.

…

Xu Mu was still searching for treasures alongside Chen Xuan.

As for Ying Weiyang, Xu Mu did not expect her to obtain anything significant. His only instruction to her was that if anyone tried to rob her, she should hand over the ring.

In any case, Xu Mu and Chen Xuan had already collected more than enough treasures.

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent tremor erupted in the distance.

“Brother Mu, people from Wang Hun’s side are trying to take my treasures!”

Chen Xuan immediately sent him a voice transmission.

Xu Mu took out the teleportation token and transferred himself over, arriving just in time to meet up with him.

He was no longer the same person who would be seriously wounded by a single sword strike from his opponent.

After first casting an illusion formation to alter his appearance, he instantly teleported to Chen Xuan’s side.

One of the black-robed men was attacking Chen Xuan.

Xu Mu sent a wave of Burning Heaven sword energy at him, blasting him away.

Wang Hun looked at Xu Mu as he appeared and smiled. “A teleportation formation? Looks like the two of you really do have some good stuff on you.”
