"What is it?" Lin Xiao asked with a frown.
Wenren Yu was a conservative person and naturally was not known to curse other people mindlessly. For him to be itching to curse as soon as he opened the Spatial Ring showed that what he saw was not ordinary.
"Check this out."
Taking out a stone on his hand, Wenren Yu grinned. Lin Xiao and Lin Yun's eyes were locked to the stone. The faint Qi that was apparent on the surface told them that the stone was not an ordinary stone.
Besides, it's shape was certainly on purpose.
"Spirit Stone?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.
Wenren Yu nodded. "Yes!"
He had been staying in Taiyi Sect long enough to see Spirit Stone with his own eyes. There was no mistake that the stone in his hand must be Spirit Stone. Damn, that woman must be very rich to be able to have so many Spirit Stone in her Spatial Ring.
Their eyes sparkled upon seeing the Spirit Stone. This is truly a treasure.
After browsing the Spatial Ring for a while more, Wenren Yu showed everything. The woman didn't really keep many things but there were a lot of gold and Spirit Stones. It seemed that the woman was very rich.
As for the weapon, she seemed to only have the one sword that she used not long ago. Of course, they didn't take it because some weapon was branded with their owner Qi and there might be people who recognized it. If they didn't want to be associated with the woman, it would be better for them to pretend that they didn't know anything about her.
"It's good that she's only someone who love money very much," Wenren Yu said after a while. They could use the money to buy other herbs and medicine that was necessary. Alchemist was a money burning occupation and obviously, he wouldn't want to earn nothing from it.
Training and creating lots of medicine to sell them again.
Lin Xiao nodded. "We'll divide the Spirit Stones. As for the herbs, medicine, and money, you can keep them Wenren Yu."
"Thanks, Boss."
Boss?
Seeing Wenren Yu gloating, Lin Yun felt his mind turned blank. If he was not wrong, Wenren Yu was complaining so badly about serving Lin Xiao. But now, he had voluntary changed the way he addressed Lin Xiao.
So fickle!
"Let's rest and continue our journey tomorrow," Lin Xiao decided and kept the Spirit Stones.
Spirit Stones are the items that contains Qi and usually used to trade between cultivators. You can also use the spirit stones to train by absorbing the Qi there. However, spirit stones are very expensive and would not be used by normal people.
Lin Xiao remembered that Spirit Stones were priced at 10 liang of gold, which was why he never thought of buying one in the past. But now he was getting a lot of Spirit Stones just from robbing a corpse.
'There are a total of 12 Spirit Stones.'
Narrowing his eyes, Lin Xiao recalled the explanation that Wenren Yu gave to him not long ago.
"You can only learn how to make Spirit Stones when you reach Golden Core Stage. At that time, you'll undoubtedly become very rich and able to trade with a lot of golds."
Golden Core Stage.
The only possibility for the woman to have so many Spirit Stones was either her family was filthy rich or because she had Golden Core Stage Cultivator protecting her. If it was the first one, Lin Xiao had to be careful in case they put on bounty. If it was the second one, Lin Xiao might need to be prepared to fight a Golden Core Stage Cultivator as soon as possible.
'How troublesome.'
However, Lin Xiao knew that if he wanted to advance, he would have to take risk. There was no benefit without taking risk.
'Now training… Lin Hu.'
'What?' Lin Hu woke up when he heard Lin Xiao called him.
'Help me train when I'm sleeping.'
Lin Hu: '…' seriously?
Taking out the Spirit Stone, Lin Xiao kept it inside his pocket and started to draw the Qi inside. He grinned. 'Help me keep drawing the Qi even when I'm sleeping, Lin Hu.'
'You lazy bastard! Do you really think that I want to….'
Severing the voice connection with Lin Hu, Lin Xiao was able to sleep peacefully. On the other hand, Lin Hu keep drawing the energy from the Spirit Stone to him. Since he and Lin Xiao were connected, it was obvious that even in his sleep, Lin Xiao would be training.
However, this method was slow and without Spirit Stone, it wouldn't provide much effect since Lin Xiao could just train for a few minutes for the same result of the entire night. But since the Spirit Stone gave a lot of Qi, Lin Hu's work was easier and it was similar with how it was if Lin Xiao was training normally.
Finally, Lin Xiao figured a method to cheat to get stronger.
A method that no one could replicate unless they also have powerful beast that could control the Qi even though they were inside their master's consciousness.
After mulling for the night, Lin Xiao finally fell asleep.
The next day, Wenren Yu and Lin Yun woke up earlier and already busy training with the Spirit Stone. Spirit Stone was not only useful for Body Training Cultivator but also Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Obviously, not a single one of them wished to miss the chance to get stronger.
"Brother, you're not training?" Lin Yun asked when he saw Lin Xiao was roasting the meat from yesterday's beast they hunted.
Lin Xiao tilted his head. "I'm training."
"But…"
Lin Xiao took out the Spirit Stone that he kept inside his pocket. After a night of training, it was already reduced to half while Lin Xiao was already halfway towards Body Training Rank 10.
Looking at the Spirit Stone in Lin Xiao's hand, Lin Yun was utterly speechless. He finally shook his hand. "You're a genius, Brother. I'm not a match to you."
