Chapter 680

"We don't have enough storage pouches, so we can't store too many things." Manager Zhang explained.

"Don't you have many cultivators' storage pouches in the city?" Wei Suo knew that for a large city of this scale like True Nether City, even if there was a cultivator like Han Tianmo, it would not necessarily be able to organize itself in a short period of time. Therefore, when the beast tide arrived, it was very likely that it would be a chaotic battle of its own. However, in a city where over a hundred thousand cultivators were gathered, even if one in twenty to thirty percent of the cultivators perished in the city, there would still be at least several thousand.

"This …?" However, what caused Wei Suo to be slightly startled was that the towering black-clothed man, who was the Dao companion of the elegant and pretty yellow robed female cultivator, immediately handed over a few storage pouches in front of him. These storage pouches were extremely damaged and didn't have anything inside.

"We've collected a few normal magical equipment, and we've also found quite a few storage pouches. However, almost all of the storage pouches we've found are this damaged." The black-clothed man, Du Wei, looked at Wei Suo and explained, "Also, we also rarely find any pills or spirit stones."

"Very few pills and spirit stones have been discovered?" Manager Qian and Manager Kong couldn't help but look at each other.

"There are many kinds of demonic beasts this time. All kinds of elixirs are refined using various elixirs and it is understandable for some demonic beasts to consume them. However, there aren't even many spiritual stones left, which makes us somewhat puzzled." Manager Zhang said helplessly.

"It's a Spirit Swallowing Beast. It seems like there's also a Spirit Swallowing Beast in True Nether City." Wei Suo's eyes flashed as he spoke.

"What kind of demon beast is this?" Other than Wei Suo, no one present had heard of this Demonic Beast. They could not help but ask.

"The Devouring Spirit Beast is a demonic beast that can devour a cultivator's physical body, spirit stones, and even the Jindan of a great Jindan Stage cultivator to increase their strength …" Wei Suo unhurriedly explained the Devouring Spirit Beast in detail.

"There's actually such a demonic beast? How strong would it be if it devoured the flesh and spirit stones of many cultivators?"

After hearing what kind of demonic beast the Swallowing Spirit Beast was, the faces of all the cultivators present paled. This was because even if the devouring spirit beasts were of low grade seven, how many cultivators' flesh and spirit stones could they devour if a city was destroyed? How much stronger would this spirit devouring creature be for every city he pa.s.sed by?

"This is the Water Pill that we have on hand. It's not easy for everyone to escape with their lives. Gathering together is fate, so Fellow Ji doesn't need to bring anything to exchange for it." The tower-like black-clothed man, Du Wei and the rest took out a dozen demonic cores that emitted a watery aura and handed them over to Wei Suo.

Du Wei's level of cultivation at Level 1 was already the highest among this batch of lucky survivors. Although he looked stiff and unsmiling, his current words and actions were standard, giving Wei Suo a good impression of him.

"We have all obtained quite a few Demonic Cores. As long as we can escape danger, our harvests have never been seen before. How can you be so shameless as to use things to exchange for these water type Demonic Cores?" Shopkeeper Zhang and the others also took out the water type beast cores that they had and gave them to Wei Suo. Adding them all up, there were more than 20 water type beast cores above level 5.

"If you guys have an empty storage bag, you can go to the valley at the back and pack some things. Otherwise, when a large number of cultivators arrive, those things would definitely not belong to us. "Now, I can put as much as I want. I just need to be careful not to encounter any demon beasts." Manager Zhang said again.

"Old Kong, my Golden Spirit Bee is probably going to die in a day or two. How about we go to the valley behind the city with my Golden Spirit Bee?" When Shopkeeper Qian heard Shopkeeper Zhang's words, he was slightly moved.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, what do you think?" Manager Kong looked at Wei Suo and asked.

"You guys go, I'm going to use all my strength to heal my injuries." Wei Suo smiled. At this moment, he could already feel that the closed acupoints in his body were about to open. With his cultivation base not yet restored, it was safer to not go out and run around. After his cultivation recovers, he will collect the demon beast corpses. In any case, the number of demon beasts that had been cleared out of the city was surely extremely shocking, and it was certainly impossible for shopkeeper Qian and the rest to store them all.

"Fellow Daoist Ji is also injured?" Shopkeeper Zhang and the others looked at Wei Suo in surprise because from the outside, he didn't seem to have any signs of injuries.

"Fellow Ji was. .h.i.t by a savage beast and his internal organs were injured. When we found him, he couldn't even move." Manager Qian explained.

"Damage to the internal organs? I have a Jadefallen Pellet. I wonder if it will be of any use to you, Fellow Daoist Ji? " Hearing Shopkeeper Qian's words, the yellow robed female cultivator, Xia Yubing, glanced at Wei Suo and asked.

Because Wei Suo had used a Blood Crystal to treat Yang Feng in the beginning, Xia Yubing and the others had a favorable impression of him.

"Many thanks, fellow Daoist Xia. However, there is no need for that. I only need to focus on recuperating for two days, and I should be able to recover most of my power." Wei Suo knew that the Jadefallen Elixir was a medicine specifically used to boost the vitality of the internal organs of ordinary cultivators. Wei Suo knew that the Jadefallen Pellet was specially used to promote the vitality of the internal organs of other cultivators.

"Since Fellow Daoist's injuries aren't too serious, it can't be better." Xia YuBing glanced at Wei Suo, a trace of undetectable doubt flas.h.i.+ng through her eyes. This was because Wei Suo was clearly a cultivator at the first level of the Circulatory Cycle Realm. However, the aura he exuded made her feel that he was not something an ordinary cultivator could compare to. Furthermore, Wei Suo's skin seemed to occasionally flash with a layer of silver radiance.

However, they had only met by chance, she naturally felt embarra.s.sed to ask Wei Suo some questions that involved private secrets.

"If that's the case, then Fellow Ji, you can stay here to heal your injuries while I head to the valley behind the city with Keeper Kong." If we see a water-type demonic pill, we will try our best to bring some to Fellow Daoist Ji. "

"I'll help you lead the way. With more people, it'll be safer to take care of them."

Following that, they spoke a few more sentences before Shopkeeper Zhang and the others, along with Shopkeeper Qian and the others, left for the valley at the back of the city. Only Zhou Yu Ge, Xia Yu Bing, Du Wei, Yang Feng, and Xiao Lin were left in the tortoise sh.e.l.l. For a moment, the entire place was silent.

Wei Suo sat cross-legged in a corner of the gigantic turtle sh.e.l.l, not saying anything. He only closed his eyes to feel the situation within his body.

The Hidden Dragon's Beads Technique was extremely strange. He didn't know whether the cultivator who created this technique specially created it to completely conceal his cultivation level, or if he just wanted to be able to gather all of his cultivation level for a single strike. During the period of time he was using the Hidden Dragon Bead Technique to arrive at True Nether City, even Wei Suo could not sense that he was a great Aurous Core stage cultivator.

When he broke through to the Aurous Core stage, he had only created six points to store his true essence. As for the rest, they had all closed up and disappeared.

Wei Suo could be sure that during this period of time, even if a great cultivator with a higher cultivation than him used the qi technique, or even a true essence probing, they wouldn't be able to discover his true cultivation. Wei Suo could be sure that during this period of time, even if a great cultivator with a higher cultivation than him used the qi technique, or even a true essence probing, he wouldn't be able to discover his true cultivation.

Right now, Wei Suo could feel that his cultivation was about to recover. After calming his mind and observing himself, he felt that the changes in his body were extremely mysterious.

At this moment, the six remaining Divine Sea acupoints in his body had already started to slowly shrink. However, the true essence stored within them automatically flowed towards the ten thousand or so closed acupoints.

"Pfft!"

This process lasted for approximately the time it takes to burn an incense stick. Wei Suo's body trembled slightly, and a strong wind blew around his body. All of the closed acupoints in his body opened up at the same time.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, are you alright?"

Within the turtle sh.e.l.l, Du Wei and Xia Yubing were slightly startled, but soon after, they couldn't help but let out a low cry of alarm.

This was because after such a strange phenomenon had occurred in Wei Suo's body, he gave off a feeling like a deflated ball. The spirit energy and true essence within his body seemed to rapidly dry up, giving people a feeling as if they were about to run out of oil.

"It's nothing, I just lost too much primeval essence." Wei Suo's eyes flickered, and a trace of surprise seemed to flash across his face. However, there wasn't much of a change in his expression. After saying this, he quickly took out several Zhen Yuan recovery pills and swallowed them. At the moment, only Weasel himself knew what was going on.

After the more than ten thousand closed acupoints in his body opened, he changed to the Water Emperor's Devouring Day Spell. The place where the core was formed within his heart seemed to have turned into a whirlpool, sucking in true essence from every part of his body.

The waves of Essence Qi seemed to have suddenly appeared as they swirled around his Magic Treasure, giving off a very clear feeling. It was as if as long as enough Essence fused with these waves of Essence Qi, his Jindan would be reborn.

Fortunately, there wasn't enough true essence in his body at the moment, and the flow of true essence he absorbed was not terrifying. Otherwise, it would have caused some of his wounds to rupture.

Right now, within Wei Suo's body, there was still the fragment of a wondrous tree. The spiritual energy that was continuously generated could quickly replenish a large amount of primeval essence. At this moment, he just needed to swallow a few ordinary pills that could replenish primeval essence.

It seemed that in the past dozen days, Wei Suo had already acc.u.mulated a lot of Yuan Qi required to reform the Gold Core. Or rather, when he used this art, all of the True Essence in Wei Suo's body was drained away, but the essence of the Gold Core was left in his aperture, only transforming into various Yuan Qi that Wei Suo could not sense before.

"Done!"

It was faster than Wei Suo had expected. In less than an hour, the energy in his heart meridian suddenly jolted, and countless amounts of Essence Qi instantly shrank as it once again gathered together with his Magic Treasures.

In the inner circle, there was a giant golden pellet, about the size of a wheel. It was s.h.i.+ning brightly in the aperture, emitting an unparalleled multicolored light.

His Aurous Core had finally reunited, regaining the cultivation base of a Golden Core stage cultivator!
