I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 173

Chapter 173 - Unrivaled Wealth

Luo He nodded as she continued, "According to legends, in ancient times, the Cloud Beasts were split into two camps, the G.o.dly Beast and the Vicious Beast. The Cloud Beasts were extremely powerful, and countless talented experts appeared on both sides."

The Golden Lion King was one of the Divine Beasts. Among the Divine Beasts, the latter was considered below average and not considered a strong talent.

Furthermore, the status of the Mustard Seed Heaven Devouring Bug in the Fierce Beast race was not ordinary. It was one of the three great kings of the Fierce Beast race, and possessed an absolutely lofty status as well as overwhelming strength.

According to legend, the Mustard Heaven Devouring Beast had once single-handedly killed three of the G.o.d race's kings. Although it had fallen in the end, its battle caused the G.o.d race to suffer heavy losses.

After the rise of the human race, the seven great Hierarchs of the G.o.d Realm suppressed the experts of the Divine Beasts and Magical Beasts races and wrote down the rules of the Seven Stars Continent, which was why the human race flourished in the Seven Stars Continent.

If it was ranked according to its seniority in the ancient times, the Golden Lion wouldn't even be fit to carry the Heaven Swallowing Worm.

This Spirit Swallowing Worm was a cloud beast that had the bloodline of a Mustard Swallowing Sky Worm. Not only could it rely on the Cloud Swallowing Beast to raise its strength, it could also fuse with the Cloud Swallowing Beast Crystals and advance without any side effects.

"It's so strong!"

"Hahaha!" Luo He coldly laughed as she continued.

"As the cultivation of the Sky Swallowing Worm's Cloud Beast increases, it will continuously shed its sh.e.l.l and become smaller and smaller. If it is able to reach the level of an Sky Swallowing Worm, it would be as small as a mustard seed and could hide in a crack in s.p.a.ce."

"Once this fierce beast appears, it can devour a part of the world! Of course, the chances of reaching that stage are practically zero. "

Xiang Yun had become somewhat dazed. He had been completely shocked by Luo He's description of the tyrannical strength of this Heaven Swallowing Worm. It was as small as a mustard seed, yet it was able to devour a part of the world.

If this insect was still alive, wouldn't it be able to swallow the entire country of Feng Yun in one bite? When that happened, the hundreds of millions of citizens of the country of Feng Yun would all die in the stomach of a bug.

When Xiang Yun thought of that scene, he immediately felt chills run down his spine. The vicious beasts of ancient times were indeed terrifying.

To think that this enormous beast possessed a trace of the bloodline of the Insect Devourer. It was no wonder that it was able to release such a frightening black tornado. It truly possessed the might to devour everything.

"It seems that the body of this Spirit Devouring Beetle is also very precious. I'm afraid that it isn't much weaker than the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion." Xiang Yun said with a little sigh.

When Luo He heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes.

"Do you know what price this Devouring Spirit Bug's beast crystal can fetch in the Alliance Auction?"

Xiang Yun was at a loss. After hesitating for a moment, he guessed, "The crystal of a king level Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion costs five million cloud crystals, and this is a peak demoted beast. Moreover, this beast has an extraordinary background, I'm afraid it would cost three to four million cloud crystals."

"Pfft!"

Luo He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Three million Cloud Crystals, do you really think that the Spirit Devouring Beetle's Beast Crystals are so cheap?"

Xiang Yun's old and embarra.s.sed face immediately turned red. He always acted like a country b.u.mpkin in front of this Luo He, as if he knew nothing at all. Still, he was not convinced and argued.

"But it's a commander level cloud beast after all. The value of its cloud crystal shouldn't be higher than that of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion, right?"

Luo He stared at Xiang Yun, "Why can't it be higher? Three years ago, at the auction at the Allied Trade a.s.sociation, there was an auction that auctioned a Spirit Devouring Beetle Beast Crystal of the early rank of the general level. Do you know how many Cloud Crystals were auctioned?"

"How much?" Xiang Yun also stared with wide eyes, his face full of curiosity!

"Hmph!" Luo He sneered as she extended a finger!

"Ten million cloud crystals?" Xiang Yun stared at Luo He in disbelief!

"One hundred thousand!"

"Huh?"

"Medium-grade Cloud Crystal!"

"What?" Xiang Yun really did not know how much a middle-grade Cloud Crystal was worth.

"Ten million ordinary cloud crystals!"

Luo He, who was not afraid of death, revealed the final price!

"What!"

Xiang Yun was shocked, this price was beyond his imagination!

"How is this possible? No matter how amazing this Spirit Devouring Beetle is, it wouldn't be so ridiculously tall right?" Xiang Yun felt that the price Luo He offered was truly shocking.

However, Luo He had long since expected Xiang Yun to react in such a way. He leisurely waved his hand, signalling Xiang Yun, who had already stood up in shock, to sit down.

"Don't make such a fuss. The Cloud Beast Crystals of the Spirit Swallowing Worm may not be of much use to ordinary people. At most, they can be used as an auxiliary medicine for alchemy or as a reserve energy source for the Cloud Crystal Cannons."

"But you don't know how important the beast crystal from the Spirit Swallowing Worm is to those martial artists that specialize in demonic path cultivation methods!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing these words, Xiang Yun immediately understood that there was a reason that he did not know of.

"Brother Wei, you don't know that the Cloud Beast Crystals of the Spirit Devouring Beetles are absolutely precious treasures to those martial pract.i.tioners who practice demonic techniques."

"They can refine these Cloud Beast Crystals and forcibly merge them into their own bodies with some of the innate abilities of the Spirit Devouring Beetles. When combined with their demonic arts, they will be able to unleash a terrifying power!"

"Three years ago, at the auction in the southwest part of the continent, the number one sect of the Devil Sect, the Elder 'Xinghe', in order to practice his' Spirit Devouring Demonic Technique ', finally bought the Spirit Devouring Beetle Beast Crystal, which was at the initial rank of a general with one hundred thousand mid-grade cloud crystals."

"Eh, it's really worth so many Cloud Crystals!"

Seeing Luo He's affirmation, Xiang Yun no longer had any doubts.

"This Spirit Devouring Beetle is very rare to find, and even if I find it, I won't be able to catch it. Moreover, the beast's crystal is very unique, so it is very important to those devil warriors. So, the high price is also reasonable."

"At the very least, that Old Devil Xinghe, after absorbing this beast crystal, his cultivation had increased dramatically in just ten short years. He has even surpa.s.sed the previous generation experts of the Heavenly Demon Sect and has become one of the top experts of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

Xiang Yun nodded seriously, but his heart was thumping wildly!

"Motherf * cker, so the beast core in my body is actually that valuable? Furthermore, my beast core is at a higher level. Wouldn't the Spirit Devouring Beetle Beast Crystal, which has been demoted to the peak, be even more valuable?"

All of a sudden, Xiang Yun wanted nothing more than to reach into his stomach and pull out that Spirit Devouring Worm's beast crystal. If he were to exchange it for a cloud crystal, he would immediately be as rich as a nation!

However, the true energy of the Heavenly Dragon's true energy had already been absorbed by the Spirit Devouring Worm and the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion's crystals. Xiang Yun could do nothing about them now that they had become the divine dragon's eyes.

As he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly thought of something. His eyebrows rose as he turned to look at Luo He, sizing her up from top to bottom!

Upon being stared at by Xiang Yun, Luo He's originally indifferent face actually turned slightly red. The latter immediately turned his head away and actually spoke in an unnatural manner.

"You … why are you looking at me like that?"

"That's not right," Xiang Yun just said a thoughtless sentence.

"What's wrong?" Luo He's heart tightened as she crossed her arms, her arms covering her chest in a seemingly natural manner.

"Luo He, where did you come from? Don't tell me you're a disciple of some famous sect or else how would you know so much?"

Xiang Yun had suddenly discovered just now that he had overlooked a problem. That was, Luo He had given him so much information without end.

First, the origins of the Jade-Eyed Crimson Flame Lion and Spirit Devouring Worm were recorded in the ancient books.

However, the Spirit Swallowing Worm was a rare cloud beast. The latter was actually able to tell the bloodline of this cloud beast as if it was a treasured item, and even the auction price of two cloud beast crystals was very clear.

As for the elder who auctioned the Cloud Devouring Spirit Insect Beast Crystal, it could be said that Xiang Yun had never heard of it before. The latter even knew of the Devil Arts his opponent cultivated, which caused Xiang Yun to be curious about Luo He's ident.i.ty.

Could it be that this person was a disciple of some great sect that had seen so much?

Upon hearing these words, Luo He's expression slightly changed. Only then did she realize that she had said too much and hurriedly waved her hands as she said.

Brother Wei, please excuse me, I am not a disciple from a famous sect, my father is just a businessman who is travelling far and wide, making extensive trips to the north and making many friends from other countries. I have heard a lot of things from their friends, and then when I came back, he told me, it was all hearsay, it was really shameful!

Luo He spoke very calmly, her eyes clear, not at all like she was lying.

Xiang Yun thought back to Luo He's cultivation. It didn't seem to be that high, unreachable, and powerful. It seemed it was exactly as Luo He had said. This was what he had heard from his father.

"Brother Luo He, I'm sure your father is a knowledgeable elder. If I have the chance in the future, I'll definitely find him and have a drink. Let's have a nice chat!"

Xiang Yun had predicted that Luo He's father would definitely be someone with many stories. Drinking with such a person meant that he would never feel lonely.

Luo He, on the other hand, wore a somewhat strange expression when she heard this. The latter smiled bitterly to herself in her heart. "You silly boy, there are many stars in the entire Tianxuan Continent that want to drink with my father. How many people have the qualifications to do so?"

Soon after, Luo He consoled herself in her heart, "He said that my father is a merchant and he didn't lie to him. After all, they just met by chance and I'm afraid that we won't meet again in the future."

At this moment, Luo He smiled, "Fine, if there's a chance in the future, I will definitely introduce my father to Brother Wei. When the time comes, all of you can drink to your heart's content."

The longest reunion in life was' next time ', and the longest waiting was' next time '. Luo He thought that she would never see the martial arts world again, but she didn't know that there would be a time when they could meet again.

Fate was often so ingenious. Unknowingly, a seed had already been planted.

"Cough, cough!"

Just as the two of them were laughing and talking harmoniously, Luo He suddenly let out a violent cough. Her originally white face suddenly flashed with a strange light purple glow!

Immediately after, Luo He's legs gave way, and she was about to fall backwards. Xiang Yun's hands moved quickly and instantly arrived beside Luo He. He reached out a hand to grab her waist!

"Don't touch me!"

Before Xiang Yun's hand could even reach Luo He, the latter had already moved at lightning speed, flicking away the hand Xiang Yun was extending with her right elbow through her sleeve.

With his other hand, he pointed at the stone wall behind him and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Throughout the entire process, Xiang Yun had only stood there in a daze, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the palm that had bounced back!

A thin layer of ice formed on the palm of Luo He's elbow!
