Chapter 754: Ling Xue's Trail
"I wonder how Qin Hao and Ling Xue are doing."
Chen Futu has not yet informed Ling Xue that the three-year agreement no longer needs to be continued, because during the last battle at the Dragon Emperor Pavilion, Lin Tian was punched into the earth's veins by Xiao Bai and disappeared.
With that thought in mind, Chen Futu headed to the ancient battlefield.
Along the way, he took out a piece of finger bone that Liu Shenmiao had given him and asked the system, "Can this thing be exchanged for points?"
The system scanned the finger bone in its mind and replied, "This finger bone is special and does not belong to this world."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Futu's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the treasure given by the Jia clan must be something special, but he hadn't expected its origin to be so astonishing.
The system said, "According to the system's detection, it contains a higher level of energy. If the host can study it thoroughly, there may be unexpected gains. If the host wants to sell it, this system can buy it back for 10 billion points."
"Forget it then."
Chen Futu wasn't stupid. According to the system's recycling rules, the recycling of a Martial God's corpse should be worth tens of billions. In other words, this small finger bone was equivalent to a Martial God's corpse, and there must be a big secret inside. Returning it to the system would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it would be gone forever, and it would definitely be recycled at an extremely low price.
For the rest of the journey, Chen Futu lay on the flying boat studying the finger bones. Even the dragon sparrow that had used materials to leap through time could not leave the slightest mark on the finger bones. That's right, not even a scratch.
"Good heavens, whose bone is this?"
The dragon sparrow is already made of divine material, and it only needs the rules of the divine realm to complete the leap. Even so, it cannot damage the finger bones in the slightest. In other words, this thing was most likely cut off from a powerhouse stronger than a martial god.
No wonder the system said that finger bones do not belong to this world.
"Could it be that there really is an upper realm in this world, where one can break through the void and ascend to immortality by cultivating to the highest level?"
"The system doesn't know."
The dog system is playing dumb again.
Chen Futu frowned and withdrew his finger bone, then tried to contact Qin Hao and Ling Xue, but as always, there was no response.
These two have been traveling and honing their martial arts skills, and have forgotten about their master.
Qin Hao's cultivation level was almost at the Great Sage level last time. Given the bug in the Devouring Heaven Blood Demon Art, it won't be long before he steps into the Emperor Realm. Chen Futu's only worry is that his progress is too fast and his foundation is not solid enough, which may breed inner demons.
As for Ling Xue, she is aloof and relatively calm, and she also possesses a wisp of the Moon God's destructive rule, so she should not encounter any great danger.
Several days later, Chen Futu returned to the shattered ancient battlefield, searching for the enormous white bones.
"System, can it be recycled?"
Chen Futu stood in front of a skeleton the size of a small mountain and asked a question.
The system replied: "The target is the ancient beast Cripple, with the cultivation level of a quasi-Emperor. Because too many years have passed, its life essence has been almost completely lost, so the recycling price will be halved."
"Even at half price, it would still be fifty million points, right?"
"Yes."
"Recycle!"
"Recycling successful. Host has gained 50 million points."
As the system voice faded, the white skeleton, the size of a small mountain, vanished.
Chen Futu beamed as he looked at the points that had been credited to his account. He then swept through the rotten skeletons of the entire ancient battlefield like a whirlwind. Most of them were Saint-level, a few were Quasi-Emperors, and a few were Great Emperors. Unfortunately, there were no remains of Martial Gods.
After a thorough search, Chen Futu obtained approximately two billion points from this ancient battlefield.
Chen Futu lost his initial excitement, because these skeletons were all those who died fighting for the continent, and their stories were just as admirable as those of the Xuanyuan clan.
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; their bones can still become a barrier protecting the continent.
Chen Futu spent a sum of points to obtain their names and each person's aura from the system, and then personally erected inscriptions for them.
Looking at the densely packed graves, Chen Futu sighed and waved his hand to set up incense and wine offerings in front of each tombstone.
“The dead are gone, grief is useless. I will teach those filthy creatures from the ley lines a lesson with my fists.”
This is the oath that Chen Futu made to his predecessors.
As if sensing something in the darkness, the incense smoke rising from the gray tombstones seemed to conjure up many shadowy figures looking this way, each with a different form, some human and some ancient beasts.
Chen Futu was able to sense the ancient aura lingering among the tombs, and finally set up an array to protect the peace of this place.
After leaving the ancient battlefield, Chen Futu headed to his next destination according to the map.
For a full six months, Chen Futu visited six ancient battlefields in the Central Region, accumulating a total of about 13 billion points. He even went to the Sea of Bitterness, but unfortunately, the ancient monk's corpse that had sunk in the Sea of Bitterness had been destroyed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation of Lady Pingxin, and he didn't get a single hair from it.
"Master, your disciple is in Jinsha City in the Southern Region."
One day, Chen Futu finally received Ling Xue's message near the Southern Region.
It turns out she was in the Southern Region, too far away to be contacted.
Jinsha City is not far from Dafeng City. Last time, Xiao Ling'er caused a scene at the Xu family. I wonder how Xu Mingzhu, the born supreme one, is doing. Logically speaking, she understands my Dao Heart, so she should be reborn from the ashes, right?
Three days later, Chen Futu arrived at Jinsha City. This city was very special, as it was golden in color because it was rich in gold sand, which was a major feature.
Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.
Near Sands Cotai Central is a sandy plain and lakes of varying sizes left by the erosion of the Wuwang Sea.
Like gold being sifted from sand, the reserves of gold are extremely abundant, perhaps due to special circumstances.
Chen Futu was dressed in a blue robe, with his hair tied up and a bamboo hat in his hand. At first glance, he looked like a young knight-errant wandering the world.
"Indeed, Xue'er has reached the peak of the Saint realm, mastered the Law of Frost, and has grown increasingly beautiful."
Chen Futu sat at a small tea stall in the city, ordered some snacks and wine, and immediately spotted Ling Xue, hidden in a black robe, participating in an auction at a local auction house.
What she wanted to seize was a fragment of a map. Although she didn't know what the fragment was, many powerful figures were bidding against it, and a small fragment of the map was worth tens of millions of gold coins.
"Tsk tsk tsk, there are still more rich people in the Great Domain. Compared with the forces here, the aristocratic families of Great Xia are still too low-end."
Chen Futu watched the bustling auction with a smile.
In the vast majority of the Great Domain, there are no dynasties. In a world where only force prevails, the accumulation of primitive capital is rapid. It is a business with no risk and huge profits. The Great Xia does not have this kind of environment. Chen Futu would also not allow incidents of burning, killing and looting to occur within the territory of the Great Xia.
"Fifty-three million!"
Ling Xue is very rich now, and can be considered a small-time rich woman.
"What's money? I'll give you a Great Sage Weapon!"
The bidding war among powerful forces drew gasps of surprise; the strongest force in Golden Sands City on the surface was the Great Sage.
There are detailed classifications among sacred weapons, such as ordinary sacred weapons, sacred king weapons, great sacred weapons, and ancient sacred weapons.
