335 The Burial Ground’s Treasure (2)

“This is also a species of ancient old beasts!” the black sword’s voice rang out. It was also a little surprised. “This Burial Ground is different from the legends. Why are there so many giant skeletons? The burial ground of a Saint is entrusted with his own great cultivation. It is one and transcends all things. It exists for the sake of revival and rebirth. It won’t accommodate external things for long. These bones don’t conform to the sacred art. Logically speaking, they shouldn’t exist in such a place.”

Jiang Ming’s eyes moved slightly. He leaped into the air and rose high into the sky. He only stopped when the wind was blowing above his head and an inexplicable pressure came from it.

Jiang Ming looked at the scene in front of him and revealed a shocked expression.

As far as the eye could see, there were endless mountains and rivers, filled with a vast and ominous aura. On this vast land, huge skeletons stood one after another. There were more than a dozen of them, and the tallest ones almost reached the clouds. It was a magnificent sight.

The black sword could not see this. However, when it heard Jiang Ming’s description, it was also shocked by this scene and did not know what to say.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Jiang Ming exclaimed softly.

“What’s wrong?” the black sword hurriedly asked.

“Their heads seem to be facing the same direction, as if they are gathering at the same place!” Jiang Ming said in surprise. “According to their location, they should be at a place hundreds of miles away, where they will converge.”

“Go take a look, perhaps?” the black sword asked.

“Yes. Perhaps this is an opportunity to leave,” Jiang Ming agreed immediately.

Jiang Ming returned to the front of the second ferocious skeleton and smacked. He continued to collect the origin bones.

There was a total of fifteen origin bones on the second skeleton.

Jiang Ming continued to shatter all the skeletons.

“This is the sixteenth skeleton. It should be the last one!”

Jiang Ming shattered the last skeleton and obtained the origin bones.

He had obtained almost two hundred origin bones from the sixteen skeletons. Jiang Ming would be richer than a grotto-heaven if he were to sell all of them.

“Next, we’ll see what exactly is at the end of these skeletons!”

Jiang Ming muttered to himself. He held the black sword in his hand and walked forward slowly.

The terrain in front of him was flat, and it was a plateau with dense forests. The mountains and valleys behind him were all under his feet. If he looked back, it was as if all the mountains and rivers were bowing to this plateau.

Gradually, smoke and clouds rose under his feet. Jiang Ming walked into a green grassland. It was quiet all around him. It was as if this place was completely detached from the world.

Clouds of spiritual energy swirled around. It was almost tangible. It was so dense that it seemed to be unable to dissipate. It made Jiang Ming’s cultivation, which had just increased by a lot, become restless again and slowly increase.

“What pure spiritual energy. The quality is terrifyingly high. The so-called grotto-heavens and blessed lands are probably far inferior to this place.”

Jiang Ming sighed. He was suddenly shocked, however. He realized something and quickly looked down.

“Is this spirit-dissolving grass?”

He was stunned.

Beneath his feet, there were patches of green grass that only grew to his ankles. They looked ordinary. However, if one looked carefully, one would be able to discover that the spiritual energy was emerging from the tips of the blades of the green grass and merging into the void.

Even the black sword was shocked.

Although the spirit-dissolving grass did not have any special medicinal properties, it was hellishly strong. Its roots were extremely vigorous, and it could absorb the essence of the earth veins deep underground and transform it into pure spiritual energy of extremely high quality. It had a huge effect on the cultivation of immortal cultivators.

However, the spirit-dissolving grass was extremely rare and required a huge number of resources to grow.

In addition, this grass was almost impossible to transplant. In addition, it was extremely difficult to bloom and bear seeds, making it even rarer in the cultivation world. Even the grotto-heavens and the blessed land did not have much of this grass.

In fact, even for a top immortal cultivator, if they could plant a small patch of this grass in their cave abode, they would be set for life. Every day, they would cleanse their cultivation with pure spiritual energy. Over time, they would be able to transform themselves, and the quality of their spiritual energy would far exceed that of cultivators of the same level.

“Unfortunately, I can’t take it away” Jiang Ming sighed and greedily absorbed the pure spiritual energy between heaven and earth. He circulated the Burning Spirit Scripture with all his strength and absorbed it into his spirit base to refine his spiritual energy.

“That’s not necessarily true!” the black sword suddenly said. “The spirit-dissolving grass rarely blooms and bears seeds. However, there is so much of it here. It’s also more than ten thousand years old. I’m sure you’ll be able to plant it. If we can find enough grass seeds, we might be able to recreate a treasured land like this.”

“I can’t afford to grow it even if I can find seeds.” Jiang Ming rolled his eyes. He was not a Saint. Although he had a lot of money, he probably would not be able to grow a few feet of this grass even if he invested all of his money into planting it.

“I’ll be satisfied if I can find some seeds!” Jiang Ming muttered as he expanded his spiritual energy to the limit, searching for the grass seeds that might be buried underground.

“Hmm? What’s this?” In just a moment, Jiang Ming’s eyes moved.

With a wave of his hand, he swept up a large bit of soil. There were dozens of light-yellow grass seeds the size of rice grains in the soil. If one did not pay attention, they would not be able to see them clearly.

“It seems to be rather average in terms of quality.” Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. However, he did not throw it away. He found a jade box and sealed it inside.

Then, he continued to walk forward. Just as the black sword had said, there were indeed many grass seeds to be collected. However, most of them were of average quality.

“Hmm? My luck is pretty good.” Suddenly, Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up. He quickly walked to a stalk of spirit-dissolving grass.

On its stem was a white flower that was about to wither. Dozens of crystal-clear grass seeds, that were filled with spiritual energy, were in the flower.

Grass seeds of this quality were much more valuable than those that fell into the soil.

A moment later, Jiang Ming saw seven or eight more stalks that had not yet fallen, and he carefully sealed them all.

“This trip was really worth it!”

Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed. The value of these origin bones and grass seeds was immeasurable. They would be of unimaginable use to his future cultivation path.

In the world of immortal cultivation, many magical tools and secret techniques could no longer be bought with spirit stones. They often needed to be exchanged for items. The rarer the item, the more priority it had in exchange. The origin bones were already amazing. However, the grass seeds could buy him anything he wanted.

“Alright! We’re here!”

Suddenly, the black sword’s solemn voice sounded.

Jiang Ming was shocked. He quickly gathered his thoughts and looked forward carefully.

Although the black sword’s range of visibility was not as far as his, its ability to detect certain mysterious and unique auras was still extraordinary.
