Chapter 275: Red-Eyed Stone Ape (Two-in-One Chapter)
The Mysterious Origin Ice Crystal has a slight catalytic effect on the solidification of liquid magical power.
More importantly, it can stabilize the newly condensed golden core, preventing it from collapsing due to unstable factors and reverting back to a liquid state.
This spiritual object can increase the probability of condensing a golden core by 15%, making it a coveted item for all cultivators facing the golden core bottleneck.
It is basically impossible to exchange it purely for spiritual stones.
Liu Yu maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but his heart was ablaze with excitement.
He was already contemplating that if Elder Qing Song and Azure weren't in cahoots, after obtaining the spiritual water formula and spiritual herb information, once the two parted ways, could he use the talisman treasure to launch a surprise attack and seize this spiritual object?
“It’s indeed the Mysterious Origin Ice Crystal. I have been planning for this for so long, just for this item!”
“Rest assured, my friends, as long as I acquire this spiritual object, I will immediately abide by our agreement,” Elder Qing Song said, barely suppressing his excitement as he spoke to the two.
After speaking, he touched his storage bag and sent a green flying sword toward the wall, carefully extracting the three-inch-sized Mysterious Origin Ice Crystal and bringing it back.
Once the Mysterious Origin Ice Crystal was extracted, Elder Qing Song immediately took out a delicate jade box and placed it inside to preserve its magical power. After finishing, he let out a long sigh of relief.
He couldn’t help but show a hint of joy, but quickly reined it in, as this was merely one of the objectives of this trip.
“Friend Hong, here is the formula you requested.”
Elder Qing Song waved his hand to stow the jade box, pulling out two pieces of animal hide and using his magical power to send them flying toward Liu Yu.
Liu Yu readily caught the animal hides and scanned them with his spiritual consciousness, discovering that one was something he had seen before, while the other was indeed the missing half.
Thus, the formula for Canglang Spiritual Water was in hand.
After putting the two pieces of animal hide into his storage bag, Liu Yu looked at Elder Qing Song, waiting for him to reveal the information on the spiritual herb.
“To be frank, the spiritual herb you both need, the spiritual mulberry, actually grows on the same spiritual tree,” Elder Qing Song said.
“This tree is called the Dark Star Spiritual Tree, and its fruit is the Star Ripple Fruit that Friend Hong desires, while its leaves are the Star Ripple Spirit Mulberry that Friend Azure needs.”
“The location of the Dark Star Tree is to the northwest of this Cold Pond, in a large forest between two spiritual mountains.”
“Friend Azure promised to help me deal with the yinming spirit serpent, and I promised to inform him of the location of the Star Ripple Tree and assist him in obtaining the spirit mulberry.”
“As the cost of our collaboration, the rewards from killing the demonic beasts will belong to me.”
“Since you need the Star Ripple Fruit, why don’t we collaborate once again?” Elder Qing Song said slowly.
According to him, the Dark Star Tree was occupied by a group of Red-Eyed Stone Apes, which were not easy to deal with, as there were four second-grade stone apes and dozens of first-stage stone apes in the group.
Among them, the monkey king is a second-tier high-grade demonic beast, and the other three stone apes include one second-tier mid-grade and two second-tier low-grade. It is said that they possess a trace of the extremely rare "Chaos Demon Ape" bloodline, making them physically strong and immensely powerful, and all four second-grade stone apes have innate magical spells.
From Elder Qing Song's description, the Red-Eyed Stone Ape group was quite formidable; a single foundation establishment cultivator entering would surely not return. Only through cooperation among three could they obtain the spiritual fruit and spiritual mulberry.
