"puff!"
After his clone died at Xuanmen Slope outside the city, Jiang Yuan lay in a secret cultivation chamber, coughing up blood.
The power of the Transformation Pill in creating a clone is not only due to the pill's power, but also to his flesh and soul. Only in this way can he pass for the real one in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Therefore, the death of this clone caused him great side effects.
However, no matter how great the side effects were, they couldn't compare to the gains of this trip: five million top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals, and the Light and Dark Dao Source that he couldn't even understand.
"Although this woman isn't the brightest, she has indeed helped me a lot!"
Jiang Yuan had been using Wei Yue since Hancheng, using her ink sword and appearance to deceive the beastmen. He then gave her the heart of Zhu Yan to incite a bloody war between the two tribes. Even now, when he asks her for the Beast King's Token and is demanding ransom, all he has paid is probably some compensation for emotional distress. After all, the pressure of carrying a sickly woman is unimaginable.
Moreover, when she finally faced Wei Shitian, she truly did not intend to die. Although she had a selfish desire to take him to the Holy Spirit Mountain, that was enough.
"Let's move to a different location first, and then carefully examine what we've gained this time!"
Jiang Yuan was unsure whether Wei Shitian and the others would risk being hunted down by the entire city to kill him, so he had to take precautions in advance.
After employing a strategy of having multiple burrows, Jiang Yuan finally stopped at an entertainment venue. The reason he chose this place was because it didn't require an ID card and was a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it the best place to hide. At the same time, it also had its own unique channels for various rumors, which helped him understand the overall situation in Ancheng.
"Hey buddy, what would you like to drink?"
Jiang Yuan ignored all the beautiful women throwing themselves at him, and instead ordered a private room and went inside.
"It seems like I haven't been to that bar in the Apocalypse World for three days!" Jiang Yuan said, moved by the scene.
He hadn't rested since he left Luocheng for Ancheng, and it wasn't very safe here either. After all, entering the Apocalypse World required leaving his physical body behind, and he didn't want to take too many risks here, so he didn't go into the Apocalypse World to absorb attribute treasures at night.
Upon entering the private room, Jiang Yuan didn't let his mind wander. Instead, he took out the Light and Dark Dao Source that Wei Shitian had given him.
Insight could not effectively identify the source of light and darkness, but Jiang Yuan had seen countless treasures, and with the eyesight he had accumulated from his previous Heavenly Eye, he could tell at a glance that this black and white halo was of great significance.
"This thing should be a treasure that enhances attributes!"
Jiang Yuan used his divine power to probe into the black and white halo, but the only information he obtained was two extremely opposing attributes: light and darkness. He had never seen such a high concentration of attributes before. Even when he activated the Nine Spirits Demon Heart and used his infinite divine power, he could not compress such a high concentration of attribute power.
After some research, Jiang Yuan was unable to find a way to use the Light and Dark Source, and there was no information about the Light and Dark Source on the entire Apocalypse Network. Even if he wanted to look up information, he had no way of knowing.
"Buzz!"
Jiang Yuan's body trembled. He looked warily at a silver box in his storage ring. The one that had made the sound was the Receiving Magic Box.
"Hmm? Something has been sent over?" Jiang Yuan took out the magic box and placed it on the ground.
The sound just now was made when the teleportation box was transmitting items. He had only used this set of boxes twice, and the last time he hadn't even had a chance to use it before it fell into Wei Shitian's hands.
"Could it be a trap?"
He hesitated. If the other party transmitted some random stuff, his situation would be dangerous. After all, his opponent was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, a mortal who was about to reach Nascent Soul Realm, whose strength far surpassed his own.
"Two hours have passed and they haven't come looking for us, so they must have given up the chase. Therefore, at this point, the only person who would put something into the magic box is Wei Yue!"
Jiang Yuan guessed that the two-hour timeframe matched Wei Yue's conflicted feelings, and that she might spend two hours writing a farewell letter to herself.
"It's best to be careful!"
He did not act rashly; he still separated a portion of his divine power to open the Pandora's Box, and whenever there was danger, he would "cut off his own arm" to protect himself.
With a crack, the receiving magic box split open. After using up its three chances, the magic box was ruined. Inside the cracked magic box was only a dagger, the very one that the clone had used to commit suicide.
"Is she sending me a knife to mock me?" Jiang Yuan was speechless. He walked over, picked up the dagger, and muttered, "This crazy woman at least sent the whole dagger! She could have at least sent the scabbard too!"
The dagger is a Xuan Shen-level weapon, a rare treasure, but to give away the dagger without the sheath shows a clever person.
"It's so dangerous to leave this knife unsheathed. And this crazy woman, she gave me the knife but won't even give me the sheath. What a bizarre thought process!" Jiang Yuan thought to himself.
However, as he was studying the array patterns of the Xuan Shen-level weapon with the knife, a picture suddenly appeared on the energy-storing gem at the hilt.
"Don't get excited, this is a gift for you!"
Jiang Yuan thought Wei Yue had something on her mind and was about to throw away the dagger, but Wei Yue seemed to have guessed his intentions and explained her purpose in advance.
"The Light and Dark Dao Source I gave you is for reforging the Light and Dark attributes. Although the success rate is very low, if you have enough talent, it may allow you to reach the top in one step and give birth to the perfect attribute."
The projected image of Wei Yue glanced at Jiang Yuan and then explained, "The method of using the Light and Dark Dao Source is very special. You need to find the Bright Heart of Light and the Dark Earth Vein separately. The Bright Heart of Light will appear in Zhongzhou during the next total solar eclipse. You will only have three minutes. Within these three minutes, you must capture the Bright Heart of Light so that you can absorb the Dao Source of Light from the Light and Dark Dao Source. As for the Dao Source of Darkness, it's the same. The Dark Earth Vein will appear regularly at the foot of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. As long as you find the Dark Earth Vein, you can also absorb the Dao Source of Darkness."
