Chapter 1380: Little Beast
It was evident this guard’s status within the Demon-Killing Pavilion was extremely high. He was also probably the strongest here. After he had spoken, no one dared to move. If not—even if they managed to escape the Primitive Mystic Realm, they would be hunted by the Demon-Killing Pavilion; and they would be on the run for the rest of their lives.
Many looked at the unconscious worm-like figure that was Jiang Yi as a sliver of jealousy and hatred appeared in their eyes. To them, Jiang Yi was just like an ant; how was it he had been so lucky? That Primitive Spiritual Treasure must be blind. There were so many formidable martial artists and talented men among them, and it had actually chosen the weakest.
However, some also started to grow curious about Jiang Yi’s ident.i.ty. After all, to be able to consecutively enter the Primitive Mystic Realm twice meant that Jiang Yi was no ordinary person. Now, he had become the chosen owner of the Primitive Spiritual Treasure as well. Could it be there was something special about this lad? Or could it be he was actually from some special divine race? That he was a descendant of an absolute formidable martial artist, and his blood was from a powerful bloodline?
Some formidable martial artists used their divine senses to scan Jiang Yi and immediately dispelled this thought. Although Jiang Yi was still very young, his current level and soul spirit were too weak. If he was from a great family clan, he would have consumed spirit pills and elixirs from young; and his soul spirit would not be so pitifully weak now.
The majority of people around started to sit cross-legged once again. However, many divine senses were locked onto Jiang Yi. This Primitive Spiritual Treasure was a very valuable thing. It had been nurtured from the Primitive Mystic Realm for G.o.d-knows-how-many years. What type of treasure was it? How strong was it? Even just from its name, it was without a doubt this Primitive Spiritual Treasure was significantly powerful.
The Earth Domain Demon-Killing Pavilion General Pavilion Lord had previously obtained a Heaven Spirit Treasure from the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. After that, his power had increased exponentially and had grown from a normal Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d to a t.i.tled Battle G.o.d, subsequently becoming a King-Ranked formidable martial artist and now the number one among the Earth Domain Demon-Killing Pavilion. He himself had mentioned multiple times that the Heaven Spirit Treasure he had gotten was a heaven-and-earth extraordinary item that had been very helpful to him.
The Primitive Mystic Realm was one grade lower than the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm, and the Primitive Spiritual Treasure did not really seem to be that beneficial to martial artists. However, many people still craved for it, and many thoughts were entering their minds. They all wanted to see what was so special about this Primitive Spiritual Treasure.
As time pa.s.sed, Jiang Yi’s body automatically recovered. After ten Lower-Domain days, Jiang Yi groggily woke up. He patted his head and even before he could make sense of the situation, more than a hundred voice transmissions rang out in his head.
“Lad, can you sell me the Primitive Spiritual Treasure? I can offer five million divine roots as well as a supreme-grade spirit artifact!”
“Little brother, I am the Xuan Ye Battle G.o.d. The Primitive Spiritual Treasure will not be of much use to you. You could be easily targeted as well and perhaps even killed over it. If you are interested in making a transaction, I can name a price that you would be satisfied with!”
“Little brother, I am the East Evil Domain’s General Pavilion a.s.sistant Pavilion Lord. Do you wish to go to the East Evil Domain? I can bring you there and give you a city or even make you Pavilion Branch Lord. As long as you give the Primitive Spiritual Treasure to me…”
“…”
More than a hundred voice transmissions were about making a deal with Jiang Yi. At this moment, most people seemed to be in seclusion. However, they were probably still coveting the Primitive Spiritual Treasure that Jiang Yi now had. Jiang Yi was actually still feeling a little groggy before. After all these voice transmissions rang out, it was as if ten thousand ducks were quacking in his brain as he rolled his eyes and fainted again.
Yet another day pa.s.sed before Jiang Yi woke up again. This time, many voice transmissions rang out once more. Jiang Yi heard a few sentences and then decided to seal off his senses and stop accepting voice transmissions.
Jiang Yi rested for a while and scanned his body internally. He discovered that his injuries were still rather severe; it seemed that all his bones had been pressured to the point of cracking. All his internal organs also showed signs of ripping apart. These eleven days, his injuries had only recovered a little. He still required some time before he could make a full recovery.
Jiang Yi strenuously sat into a cross-legged position as he swallowed a recuperation medicine and started to heal himself. He then tried to recall what had happened.
He seemed to have won a prize?
A strange treasure had entered his body and entered his Fire Spirit Pearl? That treasure’s name was the Primitive Spiritual Treasure? His thoughts went deep into the Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand, and he swiftly found that there was an unknown guest in it.
What is this thing? How was it not afraid of burning flames? It was also absorbing the flames? It had eyes and a nose; it was actually a living thing?
The results of Jiang Yi’s investigation shook his soul spirit. There were some flames in the Fire Spirit Pearl that had been obtained from the two fire-element Chaos Beasts near the Demon Fire Mountain a while ago. These flames were of the extremely cold and extremely hot kinds. At this moment, that strange beast was curled up within the extremely cold flames.
This was a very small beast. It was only as big as a soybean. However, it was not a worm. It looked more like a young of a lizard. It had four limbs, and there was a small horn on its head. Its entire body was gold and covered with scales. Its tail was very thin but long.
This is the Primitive Spiritual Treasure?
Jiang Yi was slightly confused. He had thought that the numinous treasure was definitely a treasure. Instead, it was a little beast that was alive. Jiang Yi could feel its life force. As Jiang Yi’s thoughts concentrated on that little beast, it opened its eyes to look up but then immediately closed them and slept comfortably within the flames again.
Could this little beast had chosen me because of the flames within the Fire Spirit Pearl?
This thought floated in Jiang Yi’s mind. After he detected further, it seemed as if this little beast did not have too powerful an aura. It also did not seem particularly unique. Jiang Yi then thought about the voice transmissions before as his heart skipped a beat.
It seemed as if many people wanted to get their hands on this little beast, right? Someone had even offered five million divine roots and a supreme-grade spirit artifact? Another had promised to make him a Pavilion Branch Lord of a city or region?
Something good had fallen into his lap!
Jiang Yi was just lacking divine roots. He wanted to go and find Yi Piaopiao. Gu Mu had said that would require ten million divine roots at least to teleport there. At this moment, Jiang Yi almost recklessly ran to find that person to conclude the transaction. After all, this little beast did not seem that useful. The most important thing was his strength was too low now.
A man’s wealth was his own ruin by causing others’ greed.
Jiang Yi reactivated his senses and tried to see if anyone else was going to offer a higher price. At this moment, a cold and distant voice transmission that made him reject any thought of making a transaction rang out. That voice transmission originated from the guardian of the Primitive Mystic Realm: “Lad, you had better not sell the Primitive Spiritual Treasure. This thing had been nurtured by the Primitive Mystic Realm and is sentient. Since it has decided to choose you, this is your destiny. If you get rid of it, it would probably die; and you would suffer punishment from the heavens.
“Furthermore… Primitive Spiritual Treasures are very rare. They are nurtured from heaven and earth. Later on in life, you would understand how good such a treasure is. Rest a.s.sured that with me around, no one would dare to s.n.a.t.c.h your numinous treasure. They would also not dare to leak this news outside. If not, I will issue an order to kill that person. All you have to do now is refrain from using it until you have the ability to defend it!”
‘Many thanks, my Lord, I understand now!’
Jiang Yi opened his eyes and looked at the guardian appreciatively as he nodded slightly and his lips moved to form a few words. The guardian closed his eyes, satisfied, and became a statue once again.
At this time, Jiang Yi’s mind was once again bombarded by many voice transmissions. Jiang Yi ignored all of them. He immediately shut off his senses to recuperate as he continued to cultivate his heavenly powers.
The guardian was right. Since this Primitive Spiritual Treasure had chosen him—regardless of whether it was related to the Fire Spirit Pearl or not, this was a gift from the heavens. If Jiang Yi sold it off, he would be going against the heavens. Even if he did not suffer retribution, his conscience would not rest well. This was after all a being with numinosity.
As long as no one here dared to s.n.a.t.c.h it and the news wasn’t leaked, what did Jiang Yi have to fear?
With Mo Lingqiu around in the Earth Emanations Domain, who would dare to a.s.sa.s.sinate him recklessly as well? Furthermore, there were so many domains in the Earth Domain and so many Pavilion Branches in each domain. Everyone here came from different Pavilion Branches. Who would know that he came from the Divine Eagle City in the Earth Emanations Domain? Who would also travel thousands of kilometers to teleport to the Earth Emanations Domain, risk being killed by the Demon-Killing Pavilion to come to the Divine Eagle City, and kill Jiang Yi to steal this treasure?
What exactly is so special about this being?
After cultivating a while, Jiang Yi couldn’t resist it and went to observe that little beast again. However, that little beast was keeping its eyes shut. It was curled up and sleeping soundly. It did not seem to care about him at all.
