"If this treasure mine appeared in the Central Province, I would never leave without extracting it all!" True Monarch Hong Chuan sighed.
"If such a treasure land appeared in the Central Continent, it would probably not be our turn!" True Monarch Profound Time spoke leisurely.
"Alright, enough idle talk, let’s take a look at how much we’ve gained this time!" True Monarch Profound Thunder interrupted everyone’s sighs, then patted his storage bag.
A foot-long wooden box appeared in front of them, filled with pieces of Thunder Element Purple Metal, some small as rice grains, others as large as pigeon eggs,
Seeing this, Zhou Xun and the others also took out all their gains,
The five of them together had harvested a total of 16 jin, 1 liang, and 2 qian!
You must know, this Thunder Element Purple Metal is no less valuable than the Profound Thunder Crystal, with each liang worth a million spirit stones,
Let alone more than ten jin,
Each person could get more than three jin, which in terms of pure value is equivalent to a high-grade defensive treasure.
"16 jin, 1 liang, and 2 qian, why don’t we each take 3 jin, and the remaining part will be collected by Daoist Zhou!"
True Monarch Profound Thunder glanced around and suggested, meaning each of them would give up about 3 liang, roughly one-tenth of their share as a payment,
"Indeed, having such a gain is largely thanks to Daoist Zhou!" True Monarch Thunder Prison also expressed agreement,
Seeing the two True Monarchs nod, True Monarch Profound Time and True Monarch Hong Chuan exchanged a glance and also agreed.
"I can’t, the Thunder Element Purple Metal is extremely precious. If I am to accept it, please accept these four pieces of top-grade spirit stones!"
Saying so, Zhou Xun took out four spirit stones and handed them over to everyone,
"Since Daoist Zhou insists, we’ll accept them then!" True Monarch Profound Thunder nodded and smiled, accepting the spirit stones,
The others did the same.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun finally collected the remaining 4 jin, 1 liang, and 2 qian of Thunder Element Purple Metal, putting them in his bag.
When the division was complete, they rested for a moment and then moved past the mine, continuing forward, twisting and turning, for about more than ten miles,
Finally, a light appeared in front.
"Finally out!" Looking at the extremely hidden cave, which was about a foot in size, True Monarch Profound Time could not help but exclaim.
They were now in a valley, and the demon beast nest was within the belly of the mountain behind them.
"Where do we go next?" Everyone looked at True Monarch Thunder Prison,
"Follow me!"
True Monarch Thunder Prison glanced around, got up and flew close to the ground, flying along the foot of the mountain towards the northeast direction,
After about half a day, they returned to the plain.
But their position had already crossed the area where the thunder beasts were located.
"Finally here!" True Monarch Thunder Prison showed a look of lonely yearning, paused, and continued,
"We should act separately now!"
He came to the Thunder Prison for his own purpose, and he naturally wouldn’t share the subsequent journey with everyone else.
This was agreed upon before coming in.
"Very well, the Thunder Prison is vast, everyone should have their own chance encounters!" said True Monarch Profound Thunder.
"Then let’s part ways here today!" True Monarch Thunder Prison nodded.
"However, while exploring the Thunder Prison, please remember a few taboos,"
"Firstly, the core area of the Thunder Prison can only be explored by those with the cultivation of a Great Cultivator or above; otherwise, it may be difficult to escape,"
"Secondly, the natural disaster in the Thunder Prison, the ’Thunder Tide,’ occurred more than two months ago, and there’s only twenty days left now,"
"Please make sure to return to where we came from before the disaster breaks out, otherwise, there is a risk of falling,"
"As for the rest, I wish you all a smooth journey and fruitful opportunities!"
"Farewell!"
Saying that, True Monarch Thunder Prison cupped his hands, turned into a stream of spirit light, and sped forward.
"I hope to see you all again in twenty-odd days!" True Monarch Profound Thunder laughed heartily, choosing a direction and departing as well.
From his expression, it seemed he also came with purpose, likely for the same reason as True Monarch Thunder Prison, targeting a specific item.
"Daoist Zhou, True Monarch Thunder Prison and True Monarch Profound Thunder have clear purposes, but Daoist Hong and I know little about this place,"
"Why not accompany us? It’s much safer, what do you say?"
True Monarch Profound Time invited.
"Thank you for your kindness, Daoist friends, but I’d like to go alone!" Zhou Xun politely declined with a smile.
Hearing this, True Monarch Profound Time nodded and did not insist,
"In that case, see you in a month!"
With that, the two of them activated their escape lights and sped away.
Zhou Xun was left alone in that place; however, he did not leave and stayed in place.
After waiting for two hours, seeing no one returned, he felt reassured.
He patted his waist, and a three-foot-long wooden box flew out, containing a set of tier-four monitoring array.
He grabbed the wooden box and tossed it into the air,
Instantly, eighteen array flags flew out, suspended in the air in a specific arrangement,
Zhou Xun formed hand signs and pointed towards the ground,
"Fall!"
The array flags fell according to their current positions and then became invisible,
He then spread his divine sense, finding nothing unusual, and nodded in satisfaction,
With a thought,
"Woosh—"
A pair of wings with a span of four to five meters spread out behind him, precisely his Thunderbolt Wings.
With this treasure, Zhou Xun could explore more places within the limited twenty-day period.
With a flap,
Thunder light flickered, and in the next moment, Zhou Xun appeared hundreds of meters away, with another flap, his whole person turned into a blue stream of light, rushing towards the way he came,
Two hours later, Zhou Xun returned to the entrance of the valley, rushing through the passage inside,
In a flash, he reached the place where they previously extracted Thunder Element Purple Metal. Here, he once obtained a thumb-sized piece of Thunder Element Purple Metal,
Seeing the unchanged rock wall, Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief,
He turned his palm, and the Extreme Blade appeared in his hand,
Gently slicing along the sword mark left by the Thunder Sword, the mountain stone was cut open as easily as tofu,
Soon, a burst of purple-golden light scattered, accompanied by arcs of thunder attacking him.
Zhou Xun neither dodged nor avoided, continuing to dig,
"Twang,"
The treasure fell from the stone wall and revealed its full form.
Surprisingly, it was a fist-sized, perfectly oval-shaped piece of Thunder Element Purple Metal, completely in blue-violet color.
Strangely, this one felt particularly heavy in hand, weighing about four to five jin, and more importantly, its blue-violet color was more profound compared to ordinary Thunder Element Purple Metal.
Suddenly, a term flashed in Zhou Xun’s mind,
"Purple Gold Thunder Core!"
It is the essence of Thunder Element Purple Metal condensed, tier-four top-grade, extremely rare, enough even for refining top-grade spiritual treasures.
Zhou Xun was overjoyed, immediately taking out a jade box, carefully placing it inside, and then putting it into his storage bag.
This was the first tier-four top-grade material he acquired, and it was thunder-attributed, certainly useful for him in the future.
After finishing all this, Zhou Xun quickly left the place,
Two hours later, he returned to the place where he parted ways with everyone earlier.
After checking the monitoring array and finding no changes, Zhou Xun sighed in relief,
Then he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, patting the storage bag at his waist,
Two beams of light flew out and landed in front of him,
One was a compass-like treasure ’Small Divination Compass!’
The other was a jade talisman of completely jade-green color, engraved with ancient script, a "Profound" character.
It was the one obtained back in the Celestial Profound Secret Realm.
Zhou Xun started chanting, forming hand signs, and pointed towards the jade talisman,
Soon an intangible aura was drawn out and merged into the compass,
After a while, the compass flashed, displaying a golden arrow pointing in the northwest direction,
"It works after all!"
Zhou Xun smiled slightly,
Earlier, he had learned from the Library of Sea Suppression Immortal City that Thunder Prison is related to the Ancient Thunder Night Sect, prompting him to think of the two talismans he held,
By utilizing their connection with the Thunder Night Sect, perhaps he could use divination to estimate the general location of a fallen Great Cultivator from the Thunder Night Sect.
This was Zhou Xun’s plan.
After completing all these preparations, Zhou Xun stored all the treasures properly,
He then thought for a moment,
The Thunderbolt Wings appeared on his back,
With a flap of the wings, his whole body transformed into a stream of light, heading towards the northwest direction indicated by the compass.
