With the two heavy tools in hand, Ye Chen arrived at the cave that was allocated to him and began his shopping.
Ever since he parted ways with Bai Yijun, he had been immersed in a frenzy of slaughter. In the debris of the stars C-0986, he had already slaughtered three of the four caves of the Demonic Beasts!
Other than that, he had also hunted down many Soulless to slaughter. Among these Soulless, there was no lack of Demigod realm experts and people from various civilizations.
After fifteen days of frenzied slaughter, he had refined the useless corpses of the Demonic Beasts, extracting the unique light substance within them and fusing it into the Divine Flame Set. Although the unique light substance within the bodies of the Demonic Beasts was no longer enough to compensate for the loss of the Divine Flame Set, it was still better than nothing.
After slaughtering a large number of Demonic Beasts and Soulless, through the refinement of the Soul Crystals, his Constitution had soared by 5,000, reaching 55,000!
In terms of demonic energy, he had also accumulated a lot. From the bodies of the Soulless, he could sometimes find some precious herbs, top-grade Ghost Stones, armor, and Demigod artifacts!
These ghost stones and precious herbs all entered his mouth. As for the demigod artifacts, he used the protective flames of the Divine Flame Armor Set to refine them into demigod power and store them into the Divine Flame Armor Set. This increased the power of the Divine Flame Armor Set and made it immune to the attacks of high level Demigods!
With the Divine Flame Set and Ye Chen's strength, he could easily dominate the entire C-grade debris of the stars. Even though his Constitution was weaker, after activating Superman Mode, he could completely turn the tables around!
Only some Demigod realm Soulless would be difficult to deal with. As soon as he activated Superman Mode, the other party would do the same as well.
The only thing that gave Ye Chen the upper hand was that even though the other party's Superman Mode was powerful, he could still dodge them with the Lightning Superman Mode. When the other party's Superman Mode ended, he still had the Ant Superman Mode!
Ever since Ye Chen came to the Ancient Era, he had gradually realized the importance of Superman Mode. Most of the descendants of the prehistoric civilization had undergone a safe Superman Mode Awakening Ceremony since they were young. Almost everyone had Superman Mode, and it was of an extremely high level. Many Demigod realm experts had Superman Mode 3!
Some demigod powerhouses could even activate Transcendent Fourth Order!
In addition, the Demonic Beasts of the Primordial World had even stronger genes. They were all rare species from the Primordial Age. For example, the Dark Devil Beast from the Dark World was an ancient ancestor of the Ant. When it reached the fifth stage, it could increase one's strength by 1,000 times!
On the other hand, the Ant Superman on Earth could only increase his strength by 400 times after activating the Tier 5 Superhuman Mode!
"When I have the time, I'll look for the third gene!" Ye Chen thought to himself. He swung the hoe, gathered all the strength in his arms, and smashed it down.
The rocks and sand on this mountain were extremely heavy. Even though this hoe weighed over ten million jin, it only managed to dig out a fist-sized hole!
Ye Chen couldn't help but be startled for a moment. Then, his eyes flashed and he revealed a thoughtful expression. "These mountains can float freely in the air without any gravitational force. But there is a gravitational force on the mountains. Could it be that there are anti-gravitational and anti-gravitational devices inside the mountains?
So on the mountain, we feel the same gravity as on the ground. "
Ye Chen shook his head and threw away these thoughts that he couldn't figure out. He buried his head in mining.
After swinging the hoe seven or eight times, Ye Chen suddenly felt that he had hit something hard. He couldn't help but be startled. Then, he quickly squatted down and used the mining shovel to dig up the soil. He saw a black stone with many water chestnuts that contained a majestic energy.
"This is the Ghost Stone Mineral?"
Ye Chen took a look and felt the majestic energy inside the Ghost Stone. His eyes flickered slightly. "This Ghost Stone Mineral can't directly absorb the Ghost Qi inside because there are many impurities in the Ghost Qi. If you accidentally absorb it, your body will explode and you will die!"
"So the foremen only prevent people from taking it out and selling it privately. They don't fear that people will be blind enough to absorb the Ghost Qi inside the Ghost Stone Mineral."
"This Ghost Stone Mineral needs to be taken to the Ghost Stone Processing Factory to be smelted, picked, and cut. Then, it will be made into Ghost Stones of the same size. It will be easier to absorb the Ghost Qi inside."
Ye Chen held the Ghost Stone Mineral. His eyes flickered as he pondered. "It's just the first day. I still don't know the situation here. There's still a long way to go. I'll familiarize myself with it and then devour this Ghost Stone Mineral!"
"If it were others, they wouldn't be able to absorb this unprocessed Ghost Stone Mineral and could only stare at it. But in front of the devouring force, all energy is nothing!"
Thinking of this, Ye Chen's mind became active. He quickly dug out the Ghost Stone Mineral and then continued mining.
Once, twice …
Sweat flowed from his body and arms and dripped onto the ground, leaving a faint black mark before disappearing into the soil.
While he was mining, Ye Chen's mind didn't stop as he cultivated the Ghost Qi.
On the mountain of the Ghost Stone Mineral Vein, the Ghost Qi was extremely rich. The cultivation speed was four to five times faster than other places!
Moreover, cultivating in this place filled with Ghost Qi would also slowly increase one's physique!
On Earth, energy was thin. Even if some people exercised every day, the amount of energy their muscle cells could absorb was extremely small. But in the Tomb of the God of Xuan Yuan, as long as one cultivated, when the muscle cells were hungry, they would automatically devour the divine energy in the air as nutrients. It was completely possible to rely on some fitness activities to increase one's physique to a high level!
On Earth, at most, it could only increase the strength of seven to eight people or one level of physique. For example, the ancient God of War Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, Guan Fei and the others all had physique strength of around two levels.
This was already the limit on Earth!
At this moment, in this place filled with Ghost Qi, when Ye Chen's arm was sore from digging, his genetic cells would be like starving children, greedily absorbing the Ghost Qi in the air and undergoing a transformation. This would cause his strength to increase at a slow but rapid pace.
Ye Chen couldn't help but think that if mining could increase one's physique, then the other Herbal Halls would be even more comfortable. He only needed to smell the medicinal power of the herbs when watering them and his physique would undergo a transformation. No wonder the burly middle-aged man said that the Ore Hall was a tough job …
Very quickly, a day passed.
When Ye Chen and the rest returned, they were inspected. In the end, one of them was found to have hidden a small piece of Ghost Stone ore in his clothes. He was found out on the spot and was given a big demerit as a punishment!
This incident didn't cause much of a stir. After Ye Chen returned to the Scarlet Fall Sect's headquarters in Jade Water City, he went to the Blue Moon Lake to soak his body.
The Blue Moon Lake was extremely spacious, like a small ocean. The waves were surging and countless figures were swimming in it. There were at least a few million people, and it was a hubbub of voices.
Ye Chen found a secluded lake and soaked himself in it. Although there were millions of people swimming in the Blue Moon Lake, there were no impurities at all. It was extremely pure, and there was a refreshing fragrance to it.
As he soaked in the lake, the icy cold lake water was like countless little hands that wriggled into his body through his pores. It caressed every inch of his skin, causing the fatigue in his body to dissipate. He felt a little intoxicated.
After soaking for a short while, just as Ye Chen felt that it was about time and was about to leave, suddenly, two figures walked over from afar. Their boots stepped on the surface of the lake. The surging lake water didn't even wet their boots. These two people were Nan Tian and You Yue.
"Junior Brother!"
You Yue looked at Ye Chen and smiled wholeheartedly, "I finally found you. I haven't seen you for so long, I really missed you. Are you used to living in the outer sect?"
Ye Chen looked at his fake smile and frowned. He said calmly, "What's the matter?"
You Yue saw that Ye Chen didn't want to be courteous and smiled. He came over and said, "Junior Brother, last time you said that when you came back, you would give me a copy of the secret manual."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. He pointed his finger and the ghost aura in his body surged out. Countless runes flickered and slowly condensed into a thin little book. "This is it."
Ye Chen casually threw the little book to You Yue.
You Yue's eyes lit up as if she had received a treasure. She hurriedly took it carefully and flipped it open. A paragraph of ancient text imprinted into her eyes. There was an outline and specific cultivation method inside.
You Yue roughly read it from beginning to end. Suddenly, she frowned and closed the little book. She looked at Ye Chen with displeasure and said, "Junior Brother, are you teasing me?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Teasing?"
You Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light, "This secret manual is too simple. Although I haven't learned it yet, from the description, I can see that even if I complete the cultivation, I can only burst out five times my combat strength at most!
The secret manual you used at that time could increase your combat strength by thirty times! "
Ye Chen nodded and said, "That's right."
You Yue saw Ye Chen admit it openly without any awareness of admitting his mistake. She couldn't help but be furious. Her face was ashen as she said, "Are you teasing me?
What I want is a secret manual that can increase my combat strength by thirty times, not this! "
Ye Chen slowly raised his head and glanced at him, before he said, "A secret manual that can increase one's battle prowess by five times is considered a top secret manual in Jade Water City. You can even buy it with Pseudo Divine Stones!
You gave me two top grade ghost stones and an elementary level Demigod talisman. At most, you can only exchange it for a secret manual that can increase combat strength by two times. I remember that you lent me a helping hand when I needed it. Although your intentions are not pure, I will still give you this secret manual. If you don't want it, then I won't force you. "
As he spoke, the little book condensed from ghost aura immediately collapsed into ghost aura and was absorbed into his body.
This secret manual was actually the first level of the Nine Palaces secret manual and made some modifications. It could summon a ghost aura clone that could increase one's combat strength by 0.5 times. After self-destructing, it would increase one's combat strength by five times!
You Yue saw the secret manual in her hand disappear and flew into a rage. Her body trembled with anger as she said coldly, "You dare to tease me!
Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you entered the outer sect of Crimson Fall? "
Ye Chen looked at her coldly and didn't say anything.
You Yue snorted coldly and stretched out her hand. Her voice was low and filled with anger as she said, "I'll give you one last chance. Give me the secret manual!"
Ye Chen's expression was calm as he spat out a word, "Scram!"
