CHAPTER 353: CHAPTER 353: SPIRIT STONES

They moved forward while harvesting the herbs they found on the way. Little White made sure that they didn’t miss anything valuable on the way.

Chu Miao found that some of the herbs they found in that forest weren’t available in the forest within the soul ring and decided to transplant some there.

Thus, when she found rare herbs that had been declared extinct in ancient times, she would use her consciousness to transplant them into the forest within the soul ring.

Doing this, the resources within the space ring would only increase and that also meant that her people would have one more way of survival in case things went south.

Especially when some of the herbs are the ones listed as capable of bringing back the dead in some of the books she had read before.

As it turned out, even though she hadn’t been very diligent in studying alchemy, the books she had read to gain theoretical knowledge weren’t in vain.

As they walked forward and harvested herbs, Little White suddenly broke out in a run while shouting to its master that they were rich.

"Master master master, we have struck it rich. Master, we are rich." It kept repeating that they were rich without even explaining what was happening.

Chu Miao didn’t want to bother with it and simply pulled her boyfriend, who was holding her hand tightly and refusing to let go no matter what.

Ye Xuan had become overly protective since they entered the battlefield. For some reason, he felt that this place was dangerous, even though they hadn’t encountered any danger yet.

So, to protect his beloved, he had resolved to keep her close. And since she had the habit of teleporting even for short distances, he decided that it was better for him to hold on to her. If she decided to teleport, they had to do it together.

So when Chu Miao broke into a run after listening to the shouts of her contract beasts, they took off together.

The others weren’t to be outdone and began to run after them as well.

By this time, Little White had arrived a distance away and was scratching the ground with its claws and a pit that was almost a meter deep and a meter wide had already been dug when they arrived.

The beast was still a pup but it sure had strength that couldn’t be underestimated.

Moreover, seeing how fast it ran even with the heavenly pressure pressing on them, you could imagine how strong it was.

Chu Miao and the others still found it difficult to run and had to employ all their resistance to be able to run with a straight back.

But all this didn’t matter. What mattered at that moment was what was under the ground that the tiger was so excited to dig for.

"Little White, what is there?" Chu Hao asked as soon as he arrived at the scene and saw the pit that was becoming deeper by the second.

Little White upon hearing the question dug even faster. It seemed that what was below the earth was almost surfacing.

Before Little White could reply, a shiny red stone was thrown out of the pit together with soil.

The color was too eye-catching and hard to miss, so everyone turned to look at it. The stone had rolled a little far from where the soul landed, so everyone moved close to take a look.

The others didn’t know what that was, but Chu Miao knew. It was a spirit stone. Moreover, it was a superior grade spirit stone that was rare even in the ancient era where she lived.

As she picked it up and felt the dense energy in the stone, she could almost imagine how their sect would thrive with such resources.

She turned around to look at the pit that had become even deeper and found that Little White had dug out the even more spirit stones.

This was not something she had expected when she decided to enter the ancient battlefield. She had of course known that she would find some good stuff and opportunities in the realm but she hadn’t thought it would be so good.

"So, Bunny, what is that stone?" Chu Hao asked this because even though he had used spirit stones before, they were all of low quality.

It was the low-grade spirit stones they had found in the soul ring when they started cultivating.

Now to think that not only had they found higher grade spirit stones, in fact, they had stumbled upon superior-grade spirit stones.

"This is like the most important resource for a cultivator. They are spirit stones. Don’t look so shocked. These are superior-grade spirit stones not the same as the ones we’ve been using.

One of these superior-grade spirit stones is equivalent to one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones." Chu Miao explained what the stones were and when she saw Chu Hao widening his eyes and mouth because he was shocked, she had to calm him down.

"one hund...one hundre....one hundred thousand? That exchange rate is insane. How could the difference be so big?" Lei Ying, who had also used spirit stones before, was astonished, and so was everyone else there.

"That’s how it is. One mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones. One high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred mid-grade spirit stones and ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Then one superior-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones." Chu Miao explained once again.

She felt like the math was quite confusing, but she was happy looking at the heap of superior-grade spirit stones that her contract beasts had dug up.

After digging for about twenty minutes, Little White finally stopped but it had already dug so much that it was exhilarating.

"There are almost a thousand superior-grade spirit stones here. These are enough to help every cultivator in our team to break through to the foundation establishment realm." Chu Miao was especially happy with their harvest.
