Free Web NovelChapter 308: Chapter 307: Post-Battle Rest and Reorganization, Sorting the Spoils
On the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
Inside a spacious cabin, there was a bath.
The bath was shaped like a lotus flower, made of white bone, and inscribed with complex array patterns.
Multiple pipes surrounded it, continuously channeling hot water and Spiritual Qi into the bath.
White smoke curled upward as steam filled the air.
Su Ye’s long hair draped around him as he lay on his back in the pool, as if in a deep sleep.
Eerie blue Divine Blood flowed out from a deliberately made wound on his arm.
As the eerie blue Divine Blood bled into the water, the entire bath’s temperature plummeted, radiating a bone-chilling cold!
Specks of floating ice began to spread!
Even with the pipes continuously feeding in hot water, the trend was impossible to reverse.
After a long while.
SPLASH.
Su Ye slowly sat up, splashing water.
He glanced at the ice chunks that now filled the bath.
With a wave of his hand, he pushed them aside and stood up.
He formed a hand seal for a Technique.
His Magical Power stirred slightly.
It dispersed the steam and dried his hair.
With a flash from his Storage Ring, he summoned his clothes and dressed neatly.
"Using Divine Blood is such a hassle..."
Su Ye muttered to himself.
By now, the changes to his appearance had already faded.
His demonic, eerie blue hair and eyes had reverted to black.
After undergoing a bloodletting therapy rooted in ancient human medical wisdom,
the Divine Blood concentration in Su Ye’s body had dropped back down to 5%. The price, however, was that he had lost more than half the blood in his body.
He turned his head, his eyes shifting slightly.
The water in the bath, which was as large as a living room, had turned an eerie blue.
It was also filled with irregular shards of ice, exuding a bone-chilling, grim coldness!
For a mortal, this amount of blood loss would be a one-way ticket to the crematorium.
But as a Crystal Zhenren with Tier Three Late Stage Body Refining,
Su Ye’s constitution could handle it without much trouble.
Of course, the loss of Divine Blood meant he would be in a weakened state for the next few days.
’I probably... can’t blow up Chengying with a single punch right now.’
’Maybe... it’ll take three punches?’
Su Ye mused.
Yes, weakened.
So weakened that he would need three punches to obliterate a Crystal Perfection cultivator.
’After all, the attribute boosts from my panel don’t decrease under any circumstances... A +54 to damage is an almost overwhelming advantage against others at the same realm!’
’What’s more, I have a Tier Four Divine Sense to aid in combat and seize the initiative...’
When he had first reached the Crystal realm, he already had no fear of Crystal Perfection cultivators.
So what about now, after nearly a decade of significant progress in all areas?
Defeating two Crystal Perfection cultivators was a simple matter.
...
He adjusted his condition.
He consumed elixirs and Spiritual Objects to promote blood production.
Su Ye walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.
The sea breeze blew in, refreshing and soothing.
Gazing into the distance, the sight of Dingfeng Port appeared before his eyes.
At this moment, the United Fleet was anchored just outside Dingfeng Port.
Meanwhile, the cultivators of the United Fleet had taken complete control of the harbor.
They were currently directing the Spirit Control Sect captives to clean up the ruined and dilapidated remains of Dingfeng Port, which had been ravaged by a windstorm.
The main focus was the harbor itself, which was clogged with the wreckage of spirit ships and impossible to dock in!
A turquoise Sea Spider, as large as a reef, could be seen moving through the harbor. It spat out silk threads, acting like a tugboat to drag the wreckage of spirit ships to the outskirts.
This was Phantom Zhenren’s bonded Spirit Pet, a Tier Three Sea Silk Spider.
That’s right.
Phantom Zhenren was serving the United Fleet.
She had surrendered.
There was no other choice; she truly couldn’t win.
Two Crystal Perfection cultivators had been beaten to a pulp and crippled right before her eyes!
As a small fry at the Early-stage Crystal realm, what else could she do but surrender?
Besides, the terms Su Ye had offered weren’t too harsh.
At the very least, the personal safety of the Spirit Control Sect captives was guaranteed.
Even Jueying and Chengying, the two Crystal Perfection cultivators, were still alive and receiving proper treatment from Jiaojiao on the Ghostly Flood Dragon...
Yes.
Treatment.
—Blood Light Soul Splitting!
As their injuries were healed, a restriction was also planted deep into their very bones.
’The Gray Wall has two more diligent transport workers now.’
Su Ye was in a cheerful mood.
He didn’t hold much hatred for the Spirit Control Sect.
It was just a struggle for benefits. They had only done what any high-level cultivator would do.
This didn’t count as some deep-seated feud.
Besides, Su Ye planned to subdue the Spirit Control Sect next.
Therefore, there was no need to be overly harsh with the captives from the Spirit Control Sect.
This was good enough.
...
His Divine Sense flickered.
He confirmed that the captives were in good condition.
Su Ye returned to the captain’s cabin.
Firstly, to regulate his breathing and recuperate to restore his condition.
For the next few days, until the weakened state from the loss of Divine Blood was gone, he planned to remain docked at Dingfeng Port, using Spirit Medicine and rest to recover his strength.
’The Sun-Eating Demon Spider Emperor is a Tier Four great demon. It has a long lifespan and vast experience. If I face that monster in my weakened state, things won’t go well for me...’
Su Ye had a very clear understanding of himself.
He could crush same-realm soft persimmons with ease!
But against higher-level opponents, it was better to be cautious and careful.
Secondly, he also needed some time to sort through his gains.
The spoils from conquering Dingfeng Port were quite substantial.
’First, the Storage Rings.’
Su Ye took out two Storage Rings.
These two rings had belonged to Jueying and Chengying.
Treating captives well was one thing, but did they really expect to keep their Storage Rings?
Naturally, they were confiscated!
BZZZT!
His Tier Four Divine Sense surged, wiping away the original restrictions on them.
Su Ye took stock of his loot.
’One supreme-grade Spirit Stone, twelve high-grade Spirit Stones...’
’Premium Beast Food Elixirs, both Tier Two and Three, dozens of jars...’
’A White Jade Frost Snow Spider larva, a Celestial-grade Bloodline Spirit Beast, docile temperament, so cute you could squish it...’
’Huh... Danxia Fruit?’
’This is one of the main ingredients for the Crystal Condensing Elixir. Not bad, not bad at all!’
Besides these, there were some miscellaneous items worth about several thousand Spirit Stones.
This haul was worth a total of nearly 600,000 Spirit Stones!
Su Ye beamed with joy.
It was mainly because of the supreme-grade Spirit Stone and the Danxia Fruit.
These two were restricted resources and very difficult to obtain.
’Now that I have the Danxia Fruit, maybe I can try to gather the rest and refine a Crystal Condensing Elixir?’
’Compared to using a crystallization-type Spiritual Object, the success rate with a Crystal Condensing Elixir is much higher. It can also protect the meridians and extend one’s life. Even if a cultivator fails their breakthrough, it guarantees they won’t die...’
Getting his hands on the Danxia Fruit put Su Ye in a very good mood.
’Still, for cultivators at Crystal Perfection...’
’...the wealth in their Storage Rings is a bit lacking.’
Su Ye murmured.
However, he understood. After all, aside from Loose Cultivators, cultivators from large sects would almost never carry their entire fortunes with them when going out to battle.
As for Cultivation Technique manuals, sect Secret Techniques, and the like, it was even more impossible that they would carry those!
They even had restrictions placed within their souls to prevent them from being obtained via Soul Search.
’If I want to plunder resources, the most effective method is still to attack Spider Demon Island...’
’...and loot the Spirit Control Sect’s thousand-year accumulation!’
Su Ye said to himself.
However, Dingfeng Port also held a high-quality resource.
—The Gui Cang Wind Stone!
