The reason Yao Yue was certain that there were two primal stones was not only because he had used the Elemental Inquiry Technique, but he had also used the Flaming God's Eye to see through the source of the stones.
Back then, Lil 'Six was able to find primordial stones because of this pair of godly eyes, allowing him to find them inside the old stone.
Any Essence Seeker who had the Flaming God's Eye would be like a tiger that had grown wings. The chances of finding a primal stone would reach 100%.
With the Flaming God's Eye, Yao Yue could be considered a true Essence Seeker.
However, an Essence Seeker was not only capable of finding primal stones, but also capable of setting up primal formations, fixing primal veins, and many other knowledge related to the primal arts. Only then could one be considered a grandmaster Essence Seeker.
"Are there really two primal stones?
Which two? "the blind old man asked excitedly.
Yao Yue picked out the two primal stones and placed them in front of the blind old man. "These two."
"Alright, let me take a look." The blind old man answered and immediately sent out two palm strikes.
The two palm strikes did not seem to contain much power, but they were able to shatter the two primal stones that weighed several hundred kilograms.
Two primal stones of different sizes were revealed. One was the size of a human head, while the other was one-third smaller. Both were quite valuable.
If not for the fact that Yao Yue was used to seeing primal stones, he would have cried out in shock.
The blind old man might be blind, but his senses were extremely sharp. He immediately sucked the two primal stones into his palm. When he sensed the pure energy within, he laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad. Primal stones have really come out. Kid, you're really something."
"Old Blind, where did you get these primal stones?" Yao Yue asked with a smile.
"What? You want to take advantage of me?
Dream on! "
The blind old man said. He then added, "Kid, you have some skills. You can actually tell which primal stones have come out. Could it be that you have learned a few Essence Seeker techniques?"
Yao Yue replied, "Old Blind, I do know some elemental searching techniques. If you can tell me where the old stone came from, we might be able to work together to find the elemental vein."
To be able to casually pick up a few old stones that could produce vitality, he guessed that there might be vitality veins in the vicinity of the old stones that the blind old man found. That was why he said that!
Yao Yue only said this because he wanted to take advantage of the situation and find more primeval stones. He just wanted to see if this blind old man was willing to tell him the location!
I can cooperate with you, but we have to beat back those Asura Devil Cultivators first. That place is at the border between my dynasty and the Asura Dynasty. I can only sneak over there and occasionally get a few old stones. If I make a Yuan vein there, those Asura Devil Cultivators will definitely know about it. At that time, the gains will not make up for the losses! "The blind old man said.
"So that's how it is. Then we must drive the Asura Devils back to their territory as soon as possible!" Yao Yue replied.
"That's easier said than done!"
The blind old man sighed. He then continued, "Alright, stop nagging. Hurry up and return. Otherwise, that brat Jiao He will still be looking for you. He's worried sick!"
Yao Yue nodded and said, "Yes, Old Blind!"
After saying that, he summoned Huo Ming and rode him back to Bei 'an City with the blind old man.
However, when they arrived near Bei 'an City, the blind old man left alone. Perhaps he was looking for another place to rest and did not want to enter the city.
After Yao Yue returned to Bei 'an City, Jiao He, Guan Changyun, Zhang Mengfei, and many other generals came out to welcome him.
"Brat, I thought you were dead. It's good that you're back!" Jiao He laughed heartily as he looked at Yao Yue.
The past few days had given him a fright. If anything happened to Yao Yue, he really did not know how to explain it to General Longwu.
If not for Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei personally witnessing Huo Ming taking Yao Yue away, he would not have been able to sit quietly in the city. He would have come out to search for Yao Yue long ago.
"Boss, you're finally back. You've made us worried to death!" Guan Changyun said.
Zhang Mengfei said, "I knew big brother was blessed. Nothing will happen to him!"
The other generals also expressed their concern and praised Yao Yue.
Yao Yue had already gone through a series of great battles, letting everyone know of his formidable strength, receiving their respect and reverence!
"I've made everyone worried. The Asura Devils are still unable to kill me!" Yao Yue said with a warm feeling in his heart.
The feeling of being cared for by others was not bad at all.
Jiao He was overjoyed by Yao Yue's return and immediately held a celebratory feast.
The feast should have been held a few days ago, but it was delayed because of Yao Yue's absence.
Winning two consecutive defensive battles and killing nearly thirty thousand enemies was a great contribution. Even Lord Taijun personally came to Bei 'an City to reward Jiao He. He even ordered someone to send a letter back to the imperial city to ask for their reward.
Not long after, those who had rendered meritorious service on the battlefield would be promoted!
After the celebratory feast, Yao Yue returned to his residence and talked to Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei.
He took out two spatial rings and handed them to the two of them, saying, "Keep these spatial rings well. There are some origin stones and spiritual herbs that are useful to you inside. Also, each of you will get a bottle of thousand-year-old spirit spring water and a drop of Spring of Life. These things are extremely precious, so don't let others know about them."
Apart from the spatial bracelet, Yao Yue already had three spatial rings. Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei were both Kings and had the ability to protect themselves. Thus, he was not stingy with giving them spatial rings and some spiritual items to make it easier for them to carry their belongings.
Guan Changyun gulped and asked, "Boss, are … are these really for us?"
Spatial rings were too rare. They were too shocked when Yao Yue suddenly took out two of them. They could not accept this fact.
"If you don't want them, I can take them back," Yao Yue said with a smile.
Guan Changyun hurriedly took one of the rings and said, "Of course I want them. Gifts are like spilled water. How can I take them back?"
Zhang Mengfei also took one of the rings and said solemnly, "Big brother, you are too good to us!"
"In this lifetime, we are three brothers. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?
Don't say anything else. Cultivate well and become stronger. There will be even more good things waiting for us in the future! "Yao Yue patted their shoulders and said.
Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei were so touched that they became muddle-headed.
Up until now, Yao Yue had always given them extremely precious items. These were items that even ordinary Kings desired to obtain!
Now, they had everything. They did not know how to express the generosity they felt towards Yao Yue.
If there was a day when Yao Yue asked them to die, they wouldn't even bat an eyelid!
Yao Yue asked the two of them to go back and recuperate while he summoned Duan Tao.
"Greetings, Young Master!" Duan Tao respectfully greeted Yao Yue.
Now, Duan Tao had led two hundred volunteers to settle down in Bei 'an City. They could do anything they wanted!
"How are the brothers?" Yao Yue asked.
"Everything is fine. A few days ago, we received a message from Young Master. We cooperated with the army and killed many enemies. Only a dozen brothers were injured. There were no casualties," Duan Tao replied.
"Very good. If this continues, they will become a true cavalry!"
Yao Yue praised. Then, he took out the Blue Moonflower and handed it to Duan Tao. "Break through to mid-grade Yuan Monarch as soon as possible!
I need you to become stronger! "
Duan Tao happily received the Blue Moonflower and replied, "Duan Tao will definitely not let Young Master down!"
"Alright. You may leave first and find a good place to break through. Don't let anyone disturb you!" Yao Yue said.
Duan Tao looked at Yao Yue gratefully and nodded before leaving.
After doing all this, Yao Yue began to recuperate. He wanted to heal his injuries as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. Yao Yue had fully recovered from his injuries with the help of the Nirvana Art. Moreover, his demonic energy and elemental energy seemed to have increased slightly.
It was easiest to increase one's strength in a battle of life and death.
After Yao Yue recovered his strength, he prepared to carry out his next plan. He wanted to investigate the situation of the Shura army and understand their strength and movements. He wanted to make the best arrangements and do his best to chase them out of the Northern Plains Dynasty!
Yao Yue brought Huo Ming out of Beian City and arrived at a desolate area outside the city.
"Huo Ming, look around and see if you can find any eagle companions. Help me gather them!" Yao Yue said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Huo Ming replied and immediately flew into a forest.
Not long after, Huo Ming returned with a few high-tier intermediate demonic eagles.
Huo Ming was a fire eagle. It was too easy for him to make them submit.
"Your Highness, they are the strongest demonic eagles in the area," Huo Ming said to Yao Yue.
The demonic eagles looked at Yao Yue in confusion. They clearly thought that Yao Yue was a human. How did he become their prince?
Yao Yue glanced at the demonic eagles and released his powerful demonic aura. The demonic eagles immediately prostrated themselves in fear and cried out, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
They were all speaking in beast language. Others might not be able to understand, but Yao Yue could hear them clearly.
"Do you know which species of demonic beasts are the most abundant in this area?" Yao Yue asked them in beast language.
One of the demonic eagles replied, "Your Highness, I know that there are the most groundhogs. There are also quite a number of ant demons."
Another demonic eagle said, "There are also quite a number of snake demons. However, their levels are not high."
"Very good. Go with Huo Ming and capture the strongest demonic beasts. I have something to tell them," Yao Yue ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The demonic eagles replied in unison.
Then, they brought Huo Ming and flew towards the mountain range.
Not long after, Huo Ming returned with a groundhogs and a giant ant in his claws and a huge python in his mouth.
These three demonic beasts were all great demons. It was rare to see them in such a barren wasteland.
However, in front of this Demon King Huo Ming, they simply could not raise any ability to resist at all and were captured and brought over.
Since Yao Yue had captured them, he naturally had a use for them.
This unexpected strategy would determine the outcome of the battle between the two armies!
