Chapter 1672: Chapter 1704: The Little Tagalong and the Giant Spirit Soul
“Do you know information about other treasures?”
Wu Tianchou scanned Qin Shuang up and down, noting that this young lady had a high status in the Qin Family. Judging from the entourage she brought, it seemed she had sneaked out after obtaining some information.
“Naturally, I know. Let’s cooperate this time, develop a foundation of trust, and our collaboration will become smoother in the future. What do you think?”
Qin Shuang was very confident, believing her intelligence was valuable enough to captivate the four mysterious youths before her.
“The Giant Spirit Clan’s great god isn’t some minor figure. Why haven’t your family’s elders come to retrieve this corpse, and don’t tell me the Abyssal Domain’s experts don’t care for such remains anymore.”
Li Xiaobai squinted and asked.
He contemplated further. The body of this ancient deity wasn’t taken by Qin Tian, so how could they, mere outsider cultivators, easily acquire it? Perhaps there was some trap on the corpse forcing Qin Tian to stop. Right now, this girl wanted to collaborate, likely intending to deceive them.
“Young master, you may not know, but the Giant Spirit Clan naturally possesses extraordinary abilities and cannot be stored in space containers. If moved to the city, the target would be too conspicuous, so it was left here. However, the most valuable treasures have already been taken, though enjoying some leftovers is quite sufficient for us.”
Qin Shuang gently explained.
“I see. Your proposal is very constructive. Is there any danger on the Giant Spirit Clan’s body, and where are the treasures placed?”
Li Xiaobai nodded and asked the question they all cared about most.
This kind of ancient powerful being’s corpse usually bore ominousness. If unwittingly tainted by misfortune, at best, they would be unlucky, and at worst, spend the rest of their lives in endless shadows.
“The Giant Spirit Clan itself is a giant treasure trove. Their bodies are robust and indestructible. Unlike ordinary cultivators, they do not practice spells or divine skills but focus solely on the physical body, cultivating the internal organs. Therefore, each organ within this corpse is a mysterious treasure, offering endless benefits if obtained.”
“My brothers and I only need its kidney, and the rest is left to you fellows to handle. How does that sound?”
Qin Shuang proposed, offering very favorable terms.
The kidney is where essence is stored. These Qin Family disciples likely want to absorb the essence within the kidney to enhance their cultivation level and nourish their bodies.
“The heart was taken by the Heavenly Dragon first. Young friend, you acted impulsively earlier; the heart’s blood should be the most precious.”
“Since the heart has been claimed, could you kindly send me to the lungs? I’ve been coughing lately and could use a lung to nourish myself.”
“I’ll take the spleen. Send me over and, seeing your interest in various anecdotes of the Immortal Gods Realm, this book is for you.”
Wu Tianchou was quite considerate, casually tossing out a book. It also narrated various major events of the Immortal Gods Realm, but instead of a chronicle, it specifically told the histories of various sects and forces.
Li Xiaobai gladly accepted it. He needed such things to trace the footsteps of his senior brothers and sisters through these historical texts.
“Pa pa!”
Another two talismans were pasted on Wu Tianchou and Wu Dazhuang’s backs. Two golden lights flashed, and their figures disappeared.
“Does Miss Qin Shuang want to obtain the kidney, and is there a way to do so?”
Li Xiaobai asked.
“There’s a way.”
Qin Shuang nodded. She had clearly prepared countermeasures, having gathered such detailed intelligence on the Giant Spirit Clan.
“Go!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, several golden lights flickered again, leaving only Li Xiaobai in the field.
All the other cultivators were sent inside the Giant Spirit Clan’s corpse. It must be said that this Power of Space was very convenient, even bypassing defense breaking, directly entering the body to extract organ power.
“But in this way, they’re all inside the corpse. Doesn’t this mean I now have the upper hand?”
Li Xiaobai pondered, thinking that if he moved this Giant Spirit Clan skeleton into his Extreme Evil Pure Land right now, would the Qin Family disciples and the three Clan Leaders of the Wu Clan also become his captives?
This wicked thought flashed by, and he shook his head, not feeling too secure; the three Clan Leaders’ cultivation levels were unfathomable, all above the Immortal Gods Realm, and who knew if his Extreme Evil Pure Land could contain such a big trophy.
“We’re all partners. How can I kick someone when they’re down? I, Li Xiaobai, am a good person!”
Li Xiaobai muttered to himself and ran towards the head of the corpse, wanting to see what this ancient deity looked like.
The golden chariot turned into a stream of light, racing across the massive corpse. The skeleton was taller than mountains, and the head had rotted and decayed, leaving only dry bones, very hard, with no trace left by time.
If it were alive, it would probably rise and block out the sun, its power unstoppable. The one who killed it here must also have been formidable.
As he got closer to the head, an unsettling aura grew stronger. This aura was very familiar, belonging to the female ghost, and she had a peculiar heartbeat for the giant’s head, seemingly yearning for it.
Before he could react, a crimson spectral figure drifted out from him, its hands passing through that head, forcefully pulling, inch by inch extracting a complete Giant Spirit Clan soul.
Li Xiaobai’s heart skipped a beat. This female ghost was bold, intending to devour the ancient deity’s soul in one go, risking bursting from it.
He immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and fell into a dream. Before him, familiar dark space appeared, and he sat on a bed.
He saw the female ghost not far away, laboriously dragging something from the darkness. The giant’s upper body had already been dragged into the dark space, and it was just a matter of moments before the rest followed.
“Sister Ghost, mighty as always. What’s the use of pulling in this soul?”
The female ghost in red answered with action. She opened her mouth wide, revealing a set of fierce steel teeth, biting fiercely. The giant’s soul twisted and deformed, pulled into a strange shape, yet her teeth couldn’t tear it apart.
The female ghost exhausted every effort but couldn’t tear off a piece of flesh from the giant. This giant not only had a tough physical body but also a very resilient soul.
“Sister Ghost, I have a bold idea.”
Li Xiaobai thought for a moment and summoned his Visualized Item, the “Deluxe Version Li Xiaobai.”
“One can’t become a fatty with one mouthful. How about little brother storing it for you, and you slowly enjoy it later?”
The female ghost paused, nodded, and with a tug, she added the giant’s soul behind the “Deluxe Version Li Xiaobai,” making it part of the Visualized Item.
Success!
The ancient deity’s soul merged into his Visualized Item, which should have been an extremely painful process, but the System automatically blocked all mental attacks, perfectly skipping the refining process.
The female ghost was stunned, seemingly not expecting it to go so smoothly. Her original intention was to let Li Xiaobai’s Visualized Item refine most of it, leaving the remaining soul for her. Unexpectedly, it perfectly integrated in one second, her face turning murderous, eyes filled with resentment.
Li Xiaobai grinned: “Thank you, Sister Ghost, for your assistance!”
