Chapter 175: Ch 175- Primordial Qi Stones

Mo Yuan stared at the strange black circle that had appeared on his wrist.

For some reason, an uncomfortable feeling suddenly spread through his entire body.

Goosebumps rose across his skin and he felt as if someone was watching him.

"What the fuck..."

Mo Yuan quickly looked around.

His Origin Sense spread out in every direction, carefully searching the surroundings.

Nothing.

There was no one nearby.

After a few seconds, the strange feeling suddenly disappeared.

Mo Yuan frowned and looked back at his wrist.

"What should I even do with this?"

He touched the black circle with his finger.

"And how the hell did killing that bull cause me to get this weird mark?"

His expression slowly became serious.

’Could this be something used by that creature?’

Mo Yuan remembered the mysterious creature that had brought the Shadow Bull into this Secret Realm.

’Could this mark be a way of marking anyone who kills the bull?’

If that was true, then perhaps the creature would come looking for him.

Thoughts quickly ran through Mo Yuan’s mind as he tried to figure out how to get rid of the mark.

"Let’s try removing it."

Mo Yuan pulled out his saber.

He took a deep breath before cutting the skin around his wrist.

Blood immediately flowed from the wound.

He threw the piece of skin to the side and immediately activated his Ultimate Regeneration Talent.

The wound healed almost instantly and the skin returned to normal.

Mo Yuan looked at his wrist.

There was nothing and the black circle had disappeared completely.

A relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Thank goodness it..."

He suddenly stopped.

His eyes widened as he saw the black circle slowly appeared on his wrist again.

Mo Yuan’s smile disappeared.

His expression became helpless.

"Just what did I get myself into?"

He stared at the mark for a while.

There was no pain and there was no strange energy he could sense from it.

He could not even tell what it was supposed to do.

After thinking for a while, Mo Yuan finally decided to ignore it.

"Since I can’t do anything about it, I’ll ask some Sovereign Realm cultivators later."

There were powerful humans outside the Secret Realm.

Surely someone would know what this strange mark was.

Mo Yuan then looked toward the corpse of the Shadow Bull.

For some reason, anger suddenly rose in his heart. He actually had the urge to resurrect the bull and kill it again.

"That stupid bull..."

Mo Yuan sighed and shook his head, there was no point thinking about it anymore.

He waved his hand and stored the Shadow Bull’s corpse inside his storage space.

Then he spread his Origin Sense.

He quickly found Golden Mouse still standing far away from the battlefield.

"Oh, not bad."

A smile appeared on Mo Yuan’s face.

"I thought it might have run away."

He raised his voice so that it could reach the mouse.

"Come here. I’ve taken care of the bull."

Five minutes earlier, Golden Mouse had been standing far away from the battlefield.

Its tiny body was trembling.

’I hope Senior can take care of that bull.’

It had considered running away.

But every time that thought appeared, it remembered Mo Yuan’s terrifying strength and how he had survived the Shadow Bull’s previous attack.

’If I run away, who knows if Senior will find me later and kill me too.’

The mouse shivered.

"I really made the worst decision."

It sighed in its heart.

’Instead of getting this useless treasure-finding talent, I should have gotten a Luck Talent.’

Suddenly, a huge boom came from the distance.

Boom!

The ground trembled beneath its feet.

Golden Mouse’s face became pale.

’Senior must have started fighting.’

It could only wait nervously.

A few minutes later, Mo Yuan’s voice finally reached its ears.

"Come here. I’ve taken care of the bull."

"Taken care of the bull?"

Shock appeared in Golden Mouse’s eyes.

It had only been a few minutes since Mo Yuan and the Shadow Bull started fighting.

’It’s already over?’

Golden Mouse quickly rushed toward Mo Yuan.

When it arrived, it saw a massive crater in the ground and there were traces of blood inside but there was no sign of the Shadow Bull.

The mouse immediately understood.

The bull was dead.

Its respect for Mo Yuan rose to another level.

"Senior, I knew you could take care of that bull! Humph! How dare that stupid bull fight Senior over Primordial Qi Stones!"

Mo Yuan could not help but smile.

"Okay, okay. Quiet down."

Golden Mouse immediately became silent, the Mo Yuan looked toward the ground with smile on his face.

"Now, it’s time to collect the fruits of our labor."

He raised his saber and swung it toward the ground.

Boom!

The earth exploded and a deep crater appeared.

Mo Yuan did not bother digging carefully. He simply relied on his overwhelming strength and smashed the ground apart.

Boom!

Another strike and then another.

After several strikes, the ground had been turned into a huge crater.

Suddenly, several faintly glowing stones appeared among the dirt.

Golden Mouse’s eyes immediately lit up.

"Senior! Those are low-level Primordial Qi Stones!"

Mo Yuan nodded.

He bent down and picked one up.

The stone was small but he could clearly feel the dense Primordial Qi inside it.

’This is the same as the one I got from senior David.’

Mo Yuan immediately began collecting them.

He spread his Origin Sense through the ground and carefully estimated the number of stones buried below.

’There should be at least ten thousand.’

A smile appeared on his face.

He only needed one thousand Primordial Qi Stones to upgrade his Copy and Paste Talent.

As for the remaining stones, he would decide how to use them later.

Mo Yuan looked toward Golden Mouse.

"Start collecting."

Golden Mouse nodded excitedly.

"Yes, Senior!"

The two immediately began working.

Mo Yuan continued creating huge craters with his overwhelming strength. Since he had no time to slowly dig through the ground, brute force was the fastest method.

Golden Mouse, on the other hand, used its Treasure Finder Talent to locate the Primordial Qi Stones hidden beneath the earth.

Whenever it found a group, it quickly dug them out and brought them to Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan stored every stone inside his storage space.

One man and one mouse continued working together.

The more they dug, the more Primordial Qi Stones they found and for Mo Yuan, the mysterious black mark on his wrist was temporarily forgotten.

Right now, there was something much more important on his mind.

His Copy and Paste Talent was finally about to become even stronger.
