Chapter 460: Chapter 157: Bountiful Harvest

Upon seeing the colored light clusters entering his body, the Puppet Guild Leader hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique, increasing the cyan light around him, hoping to force the colored light clusters out of his body.

However, the cyan light, despite becoming increasingly dazzling, was futile.

This was because once the colored light clusters had entered the body of the Puppet Guild Leader, they dispersed again, spreading throughout his body and clinging to his meridians, making them impossible to expel.

Seeing this, the Puppet Guild Leader immediately panicked, quickly wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said to Lin Jing,

“Lin Daoyou, please show mercy…”

“I know of a cultivation technique that matches your Five Elements Divine Art perfectly.”

“The technique is known as the Immortal Five Elements Technique, and I know where it is. Just spare me, and I’ll tell you.”

Lin Jing had no intention of letting the Puppet Guild Leader off.

However,

concerning the Immortal Five Elements Technique, Lin Jing still decided to inquire, so he spoke,

“Say it now, or I’ll detonate the Five Elements Power inside you this instant.”

After Lin Jing’s words fell, the Puppet Guild Leader looked at Lin Jing and said,

“Lin Daoyou, if you swear on your Soul Spirit that you won’t kill me, I’ll tell you immediately.”

Lin Jing snorted coldly and retorted,

“Hmph…!”

“Thinking of negotiating terms at this point, keeping you is of no use.”

As he finished speaking, Lin Jing directly deployed the Five Elements Divine Art again and provoked an explosion of the Five Elements Power within the Puppet Guild Leader’s body.

One could see the multi-colored divine light beaming directly out from the Puppet Guild Leader’s body, and under the illumination of the multi-colored divine light, his body began to slowly dissipate.

Seeing Lin Jing make a merciless move, the Puppet Guild Leader panicked, no longer daring to negotiate any terms with Lin Jing, and hastily blurted out,

“Lin Daoyou stop, I’ll tell you…”

“The Immortal Five Elements Technique is on Yue Tian Island…”

Before he could finish speaking, he could no longer hold on, and his entire being dissipated into the multi-colored divine light…

After his complete disappearance, the Space Ring on his body fell to the ground with a “clatter”.

The Puppet Guild Leader was finally dealt with by Lin Jing.

……

After dealing with the Puppet Guild Leader, Lin Jing picked up the Space Ring that fell to the ground, as well as the shield and the golden whip he had discarded earlier.

Then…

Lin Jing looked around the cave a bit longer, ensuring nothing was overlooked. Only then did he destroy the formation, break the giant black rock at the entrance, and leave the place.

After getting rid of the Puppet Guild Leader, everything else became easier…

Lin Jing then flew onwards, breaking the giant black rocks at the entrance of each Puppet Guild cultivator’s cave, bypassing the blood corpses and leaving swiftly.

Leaving behind the Puppet Guild cultivators who had lost their puppets, facing the bloodthirsty blood corpses and Devouring Spirit Shadowy Spirits.

Since their puppets had all gone to besiege Lin Jing, they were now left to face the blood corpses alone.

In fact…

Most of the cultivators could not react in time when Lin Jing broke the black rocks and were controlled by the Devouring Spirit Shadowy Spirits, subsequently dying at the hands of the blood corpses.

Only a few three or four managed to fight the blood corpses for a while before being defeated, some dying on the spot and others becoming living corpses due to the exhaustion of their spiritual power.

After these people died, Lin Jing collected all of their Storage Bags and Space Rings.

Next…

Lin Jing made another round outside, destroying the formations that had surrounded his cave, and then returned to his own cave.

Near his own cave, a dozen puppets lay scattered on the ground.

These were left behind by those Puppet Guild cultivators.

Since Lin Jing’s attack was sudden and unexpected, these people had not had time to react before being attacked.

Therefore, these puppets were abandoned here.

These puppets, all made from various rare materials, were each incredibly valuable.

Naturally, Lin Jing did not overlook them. Upon seeing these puppets, he collected them all into his Space Ring.

Even if Lin Jing did not use these puppets himself, they could be sold for a good amount of Spirit Stones once he got out.

Lin Jing collected the puppets from outside and then returned to his previous cave.

By that time, the cave had already been dismantled by the puppets of the Puppet Guild cultivators, having lost its ability to fend off the blood corpses.

However, Lin Jing still had the System Space.

He then directly entered the System Space at the location of the cave.

This venture had brought Lin Jing considerable gains…

The Heaven Concealing Qiankun Robe, puppets at the Golden Core Peak stage, and several Magical Treasures from the Puppet Guild Leader, as well as Storage Bags from other Puppet Guild cultivators…

It was estimated that even the Spirit Stones alone amounted to a large sum.

Then, Lin Jing, accompanied by the Golden Core Peak puppet and the Heaven Concealing Qiankun Robe, entered the Alchemy Room.

Once in the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing pulled out the Storage Bags of the Puppet Guild Leader and the other Puppet Guild cultivators, as well as their Space Rings.

He still needed to inventory the treasures inside these people’s Space Rings and then categorize them anew.

“`

Following that, Lin Jing broke all the restrictions on the Storage Bags and the Space Ring.

These restrictions were mainly for blocking cultivators of a similar level; to forcefully break them, one needed Divine Sense.

Since Lin Jing’s Divine Sense was far stronger than theirs, he didn’t have to expend much effort and forcefully broke all the restrictions on the storage spaces.

After breaking the restrictions, Lin Jing first picked up the Space Ring of the Puppet Guild Leader, inserting his Divine Sense into it.

Upon probing into this Puppet Guild Leader’s Space Ring, Lin Jing immediately noticed that it was filled with treasures.

Truly befitting the Puppet Guild Leader…

In the Space Ring, Spirit Stones were piled up in heaps, and there were also plenty of other materials and Magical Treasures…

These must have been obtained by him within the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm.

There were so many Golden Core Cultivators in this Devouring Spirit Blood Realm, many of whom had some influence outside, possibly as an Island Master of some island.

Or perhaps they were upper echelon members or Elders of some forces, who originally possessed no small amount of Spirit Stones and treasures.

Yet, they perished miserably within the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm.

Their Storage Bags or Space Rings, including the treasures within, naturally fell into the hands of others.

Since the Puppet Guild had an infamous reputation, it naturally had committed numerous deeds of murder and robbery, so it made sense for them to have these treasures.

After scanning the Space Ring, Lin Jing began to take inventory of everything inside.

Just the Medium Grade Spirit Stones in this Puppet Guild Leader’s Space Ring numbered over fifteen million, and there were also about sixty or seventy thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

Besides the Spirit Stones, there were also plenty of high-grade materials and Spirit Plants.

There was even a Fifth-Rank Spirit Plant, the Yin Quan Jade Spirit Ginseng, contained inside a jade box.

This Yin Quan Jade Spirit Ginseng was an auxiliary ingredient for refining the Cleansing Spirit Elixir, something Lin Jing had seen before on the elixir recipe given to him by the woman in white.

He never expected to find one here, which was a pleasant surprise for him.

After that, Lin Jing continued to check the contents of the Space Ring.

It was not until he probed into a corner of the Space Ring that he found several books and a Jade Slip.

One of the Jade Slips had the words ‘Puppetry Technique’ boldly inscribed on it.

This should be the complete Puppetry Technique practiced by the Puppet Guild Leader.

At this time, Lin Jing did not look through the Puppetry Technique, but directly continued to probe further.

It was some time later that he finished investigating the Puppet Guild Leader’s Space Ring.

There were quite a few Magical Treasures inside, but not a single Dao Tool.

It made sense, as they were all Golden Core Cultivators; obtaining one Dao Tool was already against the odds, and finding a second one was essentially impossible.

Even the shield and the golden whip the Guild Leader had used before were only top-quality Magical Treasures.

These Treasures, presumably, had been obtained from other cultivators as well.

After finishing with the Puppet Guild Leader’s Space Ring, Lin Jing set it aside and started investigating the Storage Treasures of the other Puppet Guild cultivators…

It took quite some time before Lin Jing finished taking inventory of the remaining Storage Treasures.

He then spent another four hours organizing these items and sorting them accordingly.

This time, Lin Jing obtained almost thirty million Medium Grade Spirit Stones, with more than half coming from the Puppet Guild Leader alone.

In addition, there were also a hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

As most Golden Core Cultivators used Medium Grade Spirit Stones for cultivation or trade, the number of Superior Grade Spirit Stones was not very high.

The Superior Grade Spirit Stones of these dozen or so people combined were still less than what the Black Shark Gang Leader had by himself.

This was actually quite normal.

Besides these, there were some Magical Treasures and various materials for Spirit Plants.

In one of the Space Rings, Lin Jing found a Nirvana Flower.

Now that he needed to refine the Nirvana Elixir, with this Nirvana Flower, Lin Jing did not have to force the ripening of the Nirvana Flower in his own Spirit Field.

He could save a lot of Harvest Points.

Apart from the Nirvana Flower, there were no other Spirit Plant materials that Lin Jing was interested in, not to mention the Elixir Medicines.

The Devouring Spirit Blood Realm was most lacking in Elixir Medicines and Spirit Plants for refining elixirs, so they didn’t have many of those either.

After sorting these items, Lin Jing also collected the Golden Core Stage Puppet, which could be studied slowly later.

What Lin Jing was most interested in now was the Heaven Concealing Qiankun Robe.

That robe was a good item.

It could even forcibly take away others’ Magical Treasures.

Lin Jing had to research it thoroughly…

Then,

Lin Jing picked up the Heaven Concealing Qiankun Robe and inspected it closely—it looked rough on the outside but was incredibly smooth on the inside, made from an unknown material.

He also tried tearing at it a few times and found that the robe was extremely tough.

Even with Lin Jing’s strength, he couldn’t damage it in the slightest.

After testing, Lin Jing directly stimulated his Divine Sense, attempting to refine the Heaven Concealing Qiankun Robe…
