Chapter 973 King-Grade Herbs and Star Core

At the bottom of the lake. 

The dragon turtle had smashed a hole in the huge Star Debris Meteorite, which became like a portal leading to the inside of the mountain-like Star Debris Meteorite.

Lin Xun was standing motionlessly before it, eyes slightly narrowed and face blank.  

Not far away from him was a fist-sized stone shining brightly like a star. 

It stung Lin Xun’s eyes with its pure white light. 

According to Little Silver, that was a true star core, the life source of a star and it was incredibly valuable!

The power that Little Silver called spirit source was contained within that star core. 

At this moment, Little Silver’s grain-sized body was laying down on the star core and wildly absorbing the spirit power inside. 

For cultivators, a star core was so valuable that even old monsters of the Saint Stage longed for one because of its use in crafting Saint treasures!

For Little Silver, the pure spirit source contained in the star core could help it advance, transform and reach the next stage of its evolution.  

In its next evolution stage, it could shed the shackles of its body and turn into human form!

Kacha! Kacha!

Muffled gnawing sounds rang endlessly, while Little Silver looked to be in extreme hunger and thirst. It crazily ravaged the star core as if it had a death feud with it. 

Lin Xun felt uneasy seeing the greedy face of Little Silver. No one is fighting with you, so why do you have to look so vicious and cruel?

It looks so unmannered as if it had never seen much of the world!

Lin Xun looked at Little Silver with disdain. 

He began to examine the tremendous Star Debris Meteorite.

Wisps of silver starlight permeated the area, and an obscure but vigorous life force filled the air. One breath of it refreshed the mind and energized the body. 

If a cultivator was able to train here, they could yield twice the result with half the effort.  

Lin Xun carefully studied the meteorite with his spirit sense, but to his disappointment, he came to discover that, although the meteorite was as huge as a mountain, it had no special aura.

He even took off a chunk of the meteorite with the Broken Blade and dissected it, but the inside was empty.

Impossible! It attracted so many half-step kings to search for it, but it has nothing inside it except for a star core.

But Lin Xun did not give up. He cut off a dozen chunks of meteorites one after another with the Broken Blade, but all, without exception, contained no treasures.

Lin Xun looked more irritated when he looked at Little Silver gnawing greedily on the star core. Did I come all the way here just so that little guy can fulfill its wish?

 

“No, when the dragon turtle escaped, it carried a mysterious ice coffin on its back. Perhaps that was taken from inside this Star Debris Meteorite!”

It suddenly dawned on Lin Xun that the tremendous Star Debris Meteorite was smashed by the dragon turtle.

Additionally, the ice coffin he took away had to be extremely special because it was inscribed with a vast and mysterious star chart. 

Could it be that the real treasure contained inside the Star Debris Meteorite is that ice coffin…

Lin Xun’s heart sank horribly.

If that’s the case, then this operation has been a waste of effort. We obtained nothing apart from a star core. 

Huh?

With this thought, Lin Xun noticed a rectangular imprint in the ground, and wisps of obscure, almost imperceptible energy was seeping out from there. 

Lin Xun’s heart pounded. The outline perfectly matches the shape of the ice coffin!

He stepped forward, crouched down, and carefully investigated it with his spirit sense power. 

Immediately, he noticed something unusual. The ground was also made of Star Debris Meteorites and as soon as his spirit sense approached it, a cryptic undulation blocked the detection of his spirit sense. 

Vaguely, Lin Xun seemed to feel that there was something mysterious inside the meteorite that could not be examined. 

“It is indeed strange!”

Quivering inwardly, Lin Xun grasped the Broken Blade and carefully dissected along the imprint left by the ice coffin.

Crack—

Stone fragments flew everywhere under the incredibly sharp Broken Blade and melted into the lake water, turning it cloudy.

Soon, a sharp-edged pit was cut into the ground, gradually extending downwards. 

Within just a few breaths, when the pit reached a depth of around twenty feet, the Broken Blade seemed to have pierced the shell of an egg as a shaft of colorful divine light burst out from the ground.

At the same time, a pure and rich medicinal aroma permeated the air. It was as cool as ice and as fragrant as wine, seemingly able to penetrate the depths of the spirit and leave people entranced.

Aeth herb?

Lin Xun’s eyes lit up. The medicinal aroma rushing into his face was so pure that even a whiff of it was enough to set his blood and qi leaping around his body. He felt as though he was soaking in a hot spring. 

He drew a deep breath to calm himself, and then he began to dissect the underground meteorite.

Soon, an aeth herb was presented to Lin Xun.

It had the appearance of a little black sapling with a stalk that was only the thickness of a thumb and nine leaves hanging from its stem. 

Each leaf was shaped like a full moon and glowed a snow-white hue. Their veins were like dao patterns, releasing an incomparably captivating medicinal fragrance. 

The snow-white nine leaves were a stark contrast to the sapling’s black jade-like body, but it radiated a perfect, pure, sacred, and ethereal charm. 

A rain of black and white light fluttered around the little sapling, like yin and yang, forming a mysterious and perfect cycle around it.

Gulp!

Lin Xun could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, fighting back the excitement in his heart because…

It was a rare king-grade herb!

At the Dao Lantern Festival, Lin Xun captured a white ginseng, but he came to find that it was an old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years.

But the king-grade herb before him was different. Although it lacked spiritual powers, the medicinal power surging around showed traces of the perfect great dao!

It was indeed a king-grade herb!

Moreover, it was a flawless king-grade herb of the superb grade. It was so rare in the world that even Life Death Stage Kings would fight to the death over it.  

“What a treasure!” Saliva almost trickled down Lin Xun’s chin. He could be regarded as someone who had seen much of the world, but even he lost his composure.

This was because the little Yin Yang Sapling was truly amazing.

Although it was impossible to know what miraculous effect it had, it was unquestionably a treasure born and bred from the blessings of nature!

Without any hesitation, Lin Xun dug up the roots of the little Yin Yang Sapling. 

To prevent it from withering, Lin Xun also chiseled out the part of the meteorites that were tangled with the roots of the sapling.

Only when the treasure was safely stored in the Nameless Pagoda did a satisfied smile spread across his face. 

If he hadn’t noticed that something was unusual, then he would have missed out on the precious king-grade herb!

“If that ice coffin was right on top of the king-grade herb, then perhaps there is some kind of living being hidden inside the coffin that needs to use the king-grade herb to cultivate…” Lin Xun said thoughtfully. 

Then, without wasting any time, he continued to dig like he didn’t want to leave anything behind, which made Little Silver, who was gnawing on the star core, stare at him, dumbfounded. Master is crazy...

Then, it also gritted its teeth, seemingly unwilling to lose, and it gnawed faster and faster on the star core. 

The faces of the two could only be described by the words vicious and wicked. How would other cultivators feel if they see them?

“What a treasure!”

Before long, Lin Xun unearthed another king-grade herb, which made his eyes glow like never before.

It was a plant as red as the rose-tinted sky at sunset like it was carved from fire jade. It was only the size of a palm with slender stems and leaves, but upon a closer look, the plant was covered with natural scale-like veins. 

To Lin Xun’s surprise, those strange veins were imbued with the mystery of the fire dao!

He realized that the herb had to be extraordinary.  

Then, he also carefully put away the flame grass. 

He became even more motivated to dig. He rolled up his sleeves and continued...

On the ground, the size of the holes continued to expand. Inch after inch of stone was chiseled away and disappeared into the lake water.

“Indeed!” Lin Xun gasped. 

He found another king-grade herb. It was a brilliantly golden wood-decay fungus that was as smooth as a gemstone and sprinkled a shower of golden light into the air. 

Chi!

A beam of light shot toward Lin Xun with astonishing speed. It was a faint blue arrow entwined with terrifying lightning bolts.

Lin Xun caught the arrow with a stretch of his hand. Gathering the power of the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer to his palm, he silently dissipated the destructive power contained within the arrow.  

At the same time, he located the attacker. It was a man dressed in a golden robe and bathed in faint blue lightning. He was approaching him from the lake water in the distance. 

He was clasping a huge bone bow in his hand and emitting an intense menacing aura. 

“My friend, I have occupied this place. I’ll give you a chance to disappear from my sight now!” The golden-robed man’s expression was cold and domineering.

As he was speaking, he glanced at the golden fungus, making no secret of his desire to take it.

“Are you from the Lightning Wing Clan?” Lin Xun raised his eyebrows.

“You have good eyes. Since you know about my background then why don’t you hurry up and get out of here?” The golden-robed man’s voice was not particularly loud, but it was full of arrogance. 

He had a slender figure and a handsome appearance. The blue lightning wings rumbling on his back made him as radiant as a lightning spirit.

“Haha, as I thought, like servant, like master.” Lin Xun chuckled. He had already guessed the other party’s identity.

Xing Yitian!

The leading figure of the younger generation of the Lightning Wing Clan who had personally received guidance from Saints. He was like a ruler of lightning, enjoying an illustrious reputation in the East Victory World. 

This was what Miss Le had told Lin Xun, so he guessed the attacker’s identity right away.

“Oh?” Xing Yitian was taken aback at first, and then his face darkened and his eyes flashed with lightning. “Are you the one who killed my servant?”
