Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 299 Returning Home, Taking Stock of the Gains, Top-Grade Spirit Stones
Therefore, Chen Yushu used his mental power to envelop the entire dragon egg.

Then he forcefully stuffed it into the storage bag.

The dragon egg trembled violently, as if it sensed the impending life-or-death crisis.

But to no avail.

Chen Yushu's mental strength was incredibly powerful, far surpassing that of this dragon egg.

With a pull of Chen Yushu's mental power, the dragon egg instantly transformed into a stream of light and landed directly in the storage bag.

He forcibly stuffed the dragon egg inside.

Storage bags are not for storing goods. As soon as the dragon egg entered it, its life force weakened rapidly almost instantly.

It's like an ordinary person falling into deep water and being unable to breathe; they can only survive for a very short time.

The dragon eggs at this time are the same.

At first, it was shaking violently inside the storage bag, as if trying to break free.

But soon, things stopped inside the storage bag.

And it was completely reduced to a dead egg, with no possibility of revival.

"The hatching of dragon eggs into baby dragons, and then their nurturing, is certainly something to look forward to."

A divine dragon pet is absolutely cool and something countless cultivators dream of.

But the troubles that come with it are numerous.

With so many powerful figures watching, my current frail body couldn't withstand it.

Chen Yushu was perfectly lucid.

He knew that a living dragon egg was far more valuable than a dead one. Even if he didn't need it himself, he could give it to some top experts, just like Chen He and others did. The benefits he would receive would definitely not be less than the value of the dragon egg itself.

But he also had his own considerations.

He doesn't need to curry favor with anyone.

With his cultivation speed, as long as he continues to cultivate step by step, he will become his own greatest support and will inevitably grow into a top-tier expert.

He naturally wanted to avoid any possibility of dealing with top-tier experts, to avoid being nipped in the bud.

All he needed to do was quietly cultivate, step by step, until he reached the highest level, cultivated to the Soul Refining Realm, and became a True Person.

Therefore, it would be better to directly absorb the energy within the dragon egg and transform it into your own cultivation resources and energy, thereby improving yourself as quickly as possible.

There's not much difference between dead and live eggs on the left and right.

After putting the dragon egg into his storage bag, Chen Yushu quickly emerged from the water and noticed someone at the spot where he had fought the Azure Dragon. He guessed that it might be Chen He and the others who hadn't gone far. Of course, he wouldn't show himself, but instead turned around and walked in another direction.

Fortunately, he always had the habit of using the Concealing Fragrance Technique, so it was really difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect his whereabouts.

After an incense stick had burned for a while, Chen Yushu appeared in Jianghuan Town.

At this time, the sky was beginning to lighten, and some early risers had already started their day's work.

Little did they know that tonight they had escaped a tremendous disaster.

Chen Yushu entered Jianghuan Town and immediately saw Zuo Zongheng, the guardian deity of the river, who was waiting in Jianghuan Town and looked a little nervous.

Upon seeing Chen Yushu and Xiao Hong, it breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to greet them.

"Senior Zuo!"

Chen Yushu cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"grandfather!"

Xiao Hong, beaming with joy, skipped and hopped over to greet him.

"It's good that you're back safe and sound, it's good that you're back."

Zuo Zongheng also muttered repeatedly, saying, "No one expected that this matter would escalate to this point."

Luckily, I was quick-witted and escaped immediately when I sensed trouble; otherwise, I would have had a real hard time getting away.

However, the many gods and spirits within Jianghuan Town suffered the consequences.

More than ten spirits and deities were summoned this time, and so far, besides me, only two have returned. They both look terrified and probably won't dare to leave the house for the next three to five months.

As he spoke, Zuo Zongheng shook his head repeatedly.

He had witnessed the might of the dragon this time and made up his mind that from now on he would never go near the Dragon Abyss.

"really.

"After you came back, has anything happened here?"

Chen Yushu then asked.

"have!

The green dragon in the middle seemed to have been circling around for a while.

However, it made no sound, so I didn't dare to disturb it, fearing that it might actually bring down a flood and submerge the entire Jianghuan Town.

Fortunately, it only lingered for a while before flying away.

In addition, the river god Liu Kong of Qinghe County is now also entrenched here.

He is currently recuperating in the temple of the deceased water god of Jianghuan Town.

Zuo Zongheng was taken aback at first, then quickly spoke up.

"Oh?"

Chen Yushu raised an eyebrow, guessing that after his battle with the other party, the Azure Dragon had to retreat because it was afraid that the Azure Dragon was still near the Fallen Dragon Abyss. As the nearest town, Jianghuan Town would naturally pass through this place.

As for lingering here, perhaps it was out of resentment and a desire to launch another flood as revenge, but for some reason, it retreated.

However, this is also a good thing for him.

This at least proves that the Azure Dragon still has reason and knows fear.

Otherwise, if it really ignores the situation and launches another flood, then while it will eventually perish, the people of Jianghuan Town will also suffer a major disaster.

As for the river god Liu Kong, he had little contact with him and had never thought of dealing with him.

Although the opponent's methods of controlling ghosts were quite good, they were not very effective against him, as he was in the middle of a river.

After chatting with Zuo Zongheng for a few more minutes and learning that there hadn't been any major changes in the county, Chen Yushu turned and walked towards a courtyard.

That was the house he had previously arranged for his parents.

Now they have all moved here to live. Of course, the house in Beijiao Village is still preserved. After all, it is the ancestral home, so it is not usually left completely empty. Every once in a while, they will go back to clean it.

As soon as he got closer, Chen Yushu finally realized why he had been delayed in instructing the Liu family pharmacy to send someone to escort his parents back.

Because his mother was about to give birth.

My belly is already very big, making it very inconvenient to walk around. I estimate that I will give birth in a few more days.

Under such circumstances, it is certainly not suitable to go out.

Even though Jianghuan Town is not far from Qinghe County, this is still the case.

"Yushu, it's you, you're back?"

Upon seeing Chen Yushu, Chen Baihe was quite surprised. He then patted Chen Yushu on the shoulder and looked him over closely.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Hehua, heavily pregnant, quickly came out and looked at her eldest son, saying repeatedly, "You've grown taller and stronger, but your face is a little pale. Have you not been eating well?"

She had intended to say she had lost weight, but upon closer inspection, she realized she hadn't lost weight at all; in fact, she had gotten quite bulky. So, she changed her answer to say she looked pale. "No, I'm perfectly fine."

Chen Yushu shook his head. As for why his face was so white, it was because after cultivating, all kinds of impurities were expelled, so his whole body was clear and transparent, and his flesh and skin looked as white and tender as a newborn baby.

But it is actually very tough and can hardly withstand ordinary knife cuts and sword thrusts.

“That’s good, that’s good.

Why are you back so early this morning? Are there any merchant ships coming at this hour? Or did you return yesterday?

Then, Zhao Hehua asked another question.

"No.

I just happened to have something to take care of.

Chen Yushu shook his head, naturally not saying that they had "flew" over overnight. Such a thing was still a bit of a fantasy for his parents, who had always been ordinary people.

Then he looked at his mother and said, "The reason I came here this time is actually to take you to Qinghe County."

I bought a house over there; it's spacious, and I'd like you to move there too.

Compared to Jianghuan Town, Qinghe County naturally has a better environment and more abundant resources.

"Let's not move then."

However, after saying this, Chen Baihe hesitated for a moment and said, "We received your letter before, but firstly, your mother is almost nine months pregnant and about to give birth, so she can't bear the impact."

Secondly, we've always been used to living here.

Moving from Beijiao Village to Jianghuan Town is alright, there are familiar people around here.

But we didn't know anyone in Qinghe County, so we felt a bit awkward going there.

So we discussed it and decided to stay here.

"But……"

Chen Yushu was taken aback upon hearing this and hurriedly wanted to speak, but Zhao Hehua, who was standing to the side, also said, "We know that your status is different now. If you want us to go there, it's because you want us to enjoy a life of luxury."

But aren't we enjoying ourselves here too?
The maids do all the laundry and cooking, so I'm always idle and don't feel comfortable.

We were just discussing setting aside a plot of land in the backyard to grow some vegetables. We weren't worried about the money at all. The money you sent us is so much that we don't even know what to do with it..."

Zhao Hehua kept nagging, mainly because she was a little scared.

When the poor suddenly become rich, they instinctively hide their wealth.

They still need an adjustment period.

Chen Yushu understood this.

In the past, even if his parents were unwilling, he would have tried to persuade them, since the threat from the Azure Dragon had not yet been eliminated and he was not at ease.

However, after yesterday's battle, he knew that the Azure Dragon had actually been defeated, otherwise it wouldn't have lingered around Jianghuan Town before retreating.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Chen Yushu still planned to stay here for a while, just in case.

In particular, since he took the dragon egg away, it's hard to guarantee that the Azure Dragon won't become enraged again and cause a natural disaster.

After having breakfast with his parents and giving his mother several more amulets to help with pregnancy, Chen Yushu left home and headed straight for the Liu family's pharmacy.

Now that he was in Jianghuan Town, he naturally needed to go to Liu's Pharmacy to see his master.

However, he soon returned from Liu's pharmacy.

Previously, he wrote a letter asking his master and parents to go to Qinghe Town together. His parents did not go, but his master listened to the advice and rushed to Qinghe County, and already had the idea of ​​staying in Qinghe County for a long time.

Chen Yushu actually felt somewhat gratified by this.

If he had to say who he was most grateful to in Jianghuan Town, it would be his master, Su Ming.

If it weren't for the other party's help and teaching him martial arts, he would hardly have achieved what he has today.

Go home.

After casually setting up an array, Chen Yushu sat down cross-legged and began to take stock of his gains from the Azure Dragon's Nest.

"This time, I gained quite a lot in the Fallen Dragon Abyss."

Chen Yushu poured out all of his spoils from his storage bag, piling up large and small spirit stones into what looked like a small mountain.

These spirit stones dissipated, and in that short time, the amount of spiritual energy released reached an astonishing level, increasing the surrounding spiritual energy concentration by four or five times.

"These spirit stones come in various sizes."

The smaller ones can yield hundreds of low-grade spirit stones.

Some of the larger ones can even yield thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, among these spirit stones, there are many of excellent quality ones, whose internal spirit stones contain even more spiritual energy, reaching the level of mid-grade spirit stones or even high-grade spirit stones.

Especially this part..."

Chen Yushu looked at them one by one, making calculations, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Especially when he saw the largest piece, a spirit stone shaped like a large millstone, his face showed amazement.

If this piece of raw spirit stone is cut, at least three thousand low-grade spirit stones can be extracted from it.

But what amazed him most was the incredibly high concentration of spiritual energy contained within it.

It can be said that the concentration of spiritual energy in this one piece alone is more than the total concentration of all other spirit stones.

According to his estimate, at least thirty mid-grade spirit stones, seven high-grade spirit stones, and one top-grade spirit stone could be cut from it...

It should be noted that a top-grade spirit stone contains the same amount of spiritual energy as ten high-grade spirit stones, a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten mid-grade spirit stones, and a mid-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten low-grade spirit stones.

In other words, one top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

The key point is that top-grade spirit stones, known as the source of spirit stones, are inexhaustible. Even if the spiritual energy inside is completely consumed, as long as they are placed in a place with relatively abundant spiritual energy, they will automatically store spiritual energy for people to use again.

It can be said that a top-grade spirit stone is worth far more than ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

It is so rare that it is priceless and unavailable, even in the ancient world of cultivation.

Not to mention nowadays, spirit stones are scarce, and each one used is one less available.

"Unexpectedly, a top-grade spirit stone can be extracted from this pile of spirit stones."

Just a pity.

In today's environment, it is almost impossible to find suitable spirit stone veins.

Even the finest spirit stones, without replenishment, will only turn into ordinary waste stones... Perhaps only when the world changes again and spiritual energy revives will there be a possibility of them being restored.

Chen Yushu sighed, but still carefully put it away.

"After some calculations."

The spirit stone harvest alone, converted, amounted to nearly 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Chen Yushu's face.

These spirit stones are definitely a huge fortune. If sold, the resources obtained would be enough for a cultivator to go from nothing to the Dao Entry Realm, or even the Soul Refining True Person Realm.

Not to mention.

Besides spirit stones, there are also many spirit ores.
