Taking Stock of the Harvest
Chapter 1504 Taking Stock of the Harvest
After Liu Changxu killed the five Mahayana stage Blue Demons, the lower-level Blue Demons, having lost their top combat power, immediately scattered like sand. The Liu family cultivators seized the opportunity to counterattack, their sword light and spells weaving together to form a net, annihilating the remaining Blue Demons one by one. The sea area near Golden Ring Island quickly returned to calm, leaving only dissipated demonic energy and residual bloodstains.
Liu Changxu waved his hand to collect all the spiritual treasures. Then, his right hand landed on the head of a captured eighth-order blue demon. He then released his divine sense to probe into the other's sea of consciousness and used the Soul Searching Technique. Fragments of chaotic memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
A moment later, he withdrew his divine sense; the eighth-tier blue demon had already died. Liu Changxu frowned slightly and said to his wife, Wu Xuege, who had gathered around him:
"This Blue Demon army comes from the distant Rainbow Demon Star."
"Rainbow Demon Star?"
Wu Xuege asked in confusion:
"Exactly."
Liu Changxu nodded slightly and said in a solemn tone:
"According to Soul Search, the Rainbow Demon Star was invaded by the Zerg. The Blue Demon Clan fought desperately, but almost the entire clan was wiped out by the Zerg. They were the survivors who managed to escape and wandered in the universe for nearly a hundred years before accidentally arriving at Taibai Star."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this. No one had expected that this sudden crisis was related to the Zerg catastrophe.
Wu Xuege, clutching her still throbbing head, said in a deep voice:
"The scourge of the Zerg has spread to such distant places... Although these Blue Demons are deserters, they also carry the news of the destruction of the Rainbow Demon Star. It seems that the situation in the cultivation world of the universe is more severe than we expected."
Looking at the distant starry sky, Liu Changxu said helplessly:
"Pass down the order to strengthen vigilance and prevent sudden invasion by other alien races."
"We obey!"
Then, Liu Changxu put the five corpses of the Mahayana stage blue demons into his storage bracelet and returned to Peach Blossom Peak with his wife, Wu Xuege.
Back at the main hall of Peach Blossom Peak, Liu Changxu noticed that Wu Xuege still looked tired, and the exhaustion from her injury to her primordial spirit was hard to hide. He asked with great concern:
"Xuege, how are your injuries?"
Wu Xuege forced a smile, her voice weak as she said:
"Your Majesty, my primordial spirit has suffered a minor injury and is still in great pain. If you had arrived even a moment later, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to hold on."
Liu Changxu frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, said:
"The Blue Demon Clan specializes in the path of the spirit and soul, so they should have spiritual items that can heal the spirit and soul. I'll look for them."
As he spoke, he took out a deep blue bracelet from his waist. This was a storage bracelet that he had seized from a blue demon in the Mahayana stage.
He concentrated his energy and used his divine soul power, comparable to that of a late-stage Mahayana cultivator, to envelop the bracelet, gradually erasing the divine soul imprint left on it by the original owner.
After a short while, the blue light on the bracelet trembled slightly, and the original owner's mark completely dissipated. Liu Changxu then imprinted his own soul mark on it, gaining complete control of the storage bracelet.
He released his divine sense to examine it carefully, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face. Although there weren't many spiritual items inside the storage bracelet, they were all rare items of the eighth rank or higher. When his divine sense swept over the corner, he had a slight thought, and a deep blue jade bottle appeared in his hand.
Wu Xuege's gaze was instantly drawn to the jade bottle, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. The jade bottle was smooth and lustrous, radiating a faint blue light, and was actually made of mid-grade ninth-rank Blue Soul Jade.
The jade bottle itself is highly beneficial for nourishing the soul, so one can imagine that the spiritual objects contained inside must be extraordinary.
Liu Changxu recognized the Blue Soul Jade. He carefully unsealed the jade bottle, and a clear and mellow fragrance immediately filled the air, like a refreshing spring cleansing the soul. Even his primordial spirit felt a pleasant tremor. "It's Blue Soul Elixir!"
A glint flashed in Liu Changxu's eyes as he immediately recognized the spiritual object. This liquid was a treasure of the Blue Demon Clan, capable of greatly enhancing the soul power of Mahayana cultivators and possessing remarkable effects in repairing primordial spirit injuries. Even a single drop was precious enough to make Mahayana cultivators fight tooth and nail for it.
The only pity is that there is only one drop of Blue Soul Elixir left in this jade bottle, and it is only a low-grade ninth-rank eleventh ...
However, just this one drop of Blue Soul Elixir was enough to restore Wu Xuege's damaged primordial spirit.
Without any hesitation, he handed the jade bottle to Wu Xuege and said gently:
"Take it quickly. With the help of this spiritual liquid, your primordial spirit injury will be healed in less than three days."
Wu Xuege accepted the jade bottle, feeling very grateful, and thanked her gently:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and passionately kissed Liu Changxu.
Perhaps because she hadn't been intimate with her husband for quite some time, Wu Xuege showed unprecedented passion today, kissing Liu Changxu for a while before reluctantly leaving due to the pain in her primordial spirit.
After Wu Xuege went into seclusion to heal her injuries, Liu Changxu entered a secret room to carefully count the spoils he had obtained from the five Mahayana stage blue demons.
This inventory made Liu Changxu overjoyed.
The storage bracelets of the five Mahayana-stage Blue Demons contained an enormous number of spiritual items, all of which were fourth-tier or higher spiritual items that the Liu family desperately needed. With these spiritual items, the overall strength of the Liu family would undoubtedly be significantly enhanced.
What delighted him most was the considerable quantity of the ninth-tier spiritual items he desperately needed: thirty-one ninth-tier spiritual herbs, eight ninth-tier spiritual fruits, one hundred and eighty-nine pieces of ninth-tier spiritual jade, three hundred and ten pieces of ninth-tier spiritual gold, fifteen ninth-tier spiritual treasures, and fifty-three other ninth-tier spiritual items. Such abundant reserves were clearly the accumulation of the entire Blue Demon Clan over tens of thousands of years.
Among all these ninth-tier spiritual items, Liu Changxu valued the bottle of top-grade ninth-tier Blue Soul Spirit Liquid the most. Although there were only seven drops, it was enough to truly elevate his primordial spirit to the late Mahayana stage, which was extremely important to him.
At the same time, Liu Changxu also obtained a ninth-grade superior Sun Fruit. With this Sun Fruit, he would have the opportunity to break through the bottleneck of the late Mahayana stage, which was also great news for him.
Of course, Liu Changxu hadn't decided whether to take these two spiritual items to enhance his strength, because once he raised his cultivation to the late Mahayana stage, the chances of him being forced to ascend to the Immortal Realm would greatly increase.
Although ascending to the Immortal Realm is the dream of the vast majority of cultivators, Liu Changxu was extremely unwilling to leave his wife and children now.
Therefore, he would never consume these two spiritual items that could advance him to the late Mahayana stage unless absolutely necessary.
However, with these two spiritual items, he felt more confident in facing an even harsher future.
After taking inventory of the spiritual items, Liu Changxu categorized them and placed them into different storage bracelets.
Liu Changxu first put the spiritual items he had reserved for himself into his storage bracelet. Then, he selected several spiritual items for all his wives and children and put them into different storage bracelets, intending to give them to them. Finally, he put the remaining spiritual items into a single storage bracelet, intending to send them to the family treasury.
