Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect

Of course, the possibility of finding Immortal Gold is relatively low.

However, the quantity of Spirit Gold is quite large, and its combined value is not insignificant.

As soon as he encounters a Dragon Beast, he immediately hides in the Chenzhong Cave Heaven.

Until Li Qian arrived inside a gigantic nest.

When he saw a stalk of Dragon Saliva Spirit Grass, his eyes lit up.

"It's definitely Dragon Saliva Immortal Spirit Grass...."

A hint of joy appeared on Li Qian's face.

He suspected that the Dragon Beast living in this dragon nest should be of the Heavenly Immortal Level.

Without hesitation, he began harvesting.

Including many other fifth-tier Dragon Saliva Spirit Grass.

Of course, he did not overlook the Spirit Gold in this nest, and he even discovered two pieces of Immortal Gold.

One piece was quite substantial.

After leaving the nest, Li Qian became bolder.

After all, with the Chenzhong Cave Heaven, he could avoid risks perfectly.

Taking advantage of the agitated dragons, now was the best opportunity for a big harvest.

"The place where the first dragon roar was heard should be around here."

Li Qian quietly approached a gigantic Spirit Wood.

This Spirit Wood was much larger than the Cangwu Spirit Wood he had seen in the Cangwu Secret Realm.

Its canopy was like an umbrella, blocking out the sky, with numerous air roots hanging down from above.

And at the very top of the canopy, a dragon nest could be faintly seen...

To establish a nest on such a massive Spirit Wood, it must either be a flying Dragon Beast or one above the Heavenly Immortal Level.

However, with a Spirit Wood this large, the Dragon Beast residing here must be extremely powerful.

This area was quiet, with no traces of any Dragon Beast activity, as if they had all left.

Li Qian immediately rode the Spirit Sword, flying up to land on the top of the tree canopy.

The center of this canopy was actually recessed, forming an opening about several tens of meters in diameter, which spiraled downward, revealing an entirely different space within.

Li Qian put away the Spirit Sword, restrained his aura, and dared not be careless.

Although he didn't sense any danger, if the powerful Dragon Beast residing here returned, it would be troublesome.

Upon entering the interior of the canopy, the space was exceptionally vast, large enough to accommodate a gigantic dragon hundreds of meters in size.

And within this canopy, quite a few Dragon Saliva Spirit Grass were indeed growing.

Among them, there were more than twenty stalks of Dragon Saliva Immortal Spirit Grass.

Li Qian's eyes gleamed, as the value of Dragon Saliva Immortal Spirit Grass far exceeded that of Jade Immortal Spirit Ginseng.

After all, these belonged to the sixth-tier of Immortal Spirit Medicines.

One stalk of Jade Immortal Spirit Ginseng is worth several hundred Immortal Realms, whereas a stalk of Dragon Saliva Immortal Spirit Grass is worth several thousand Immortal Crystals.

These more than twenty stalks of Dragon Saliva Immortal Spirit Grass together exceed fifteen thousand Immortal Crystals in total value.

If refined into Dragon Soul Immortal Elixirs, the value would multiply several times over....

After collecting the Dragon Saliva Immortal Spirit Grass and other fifth-tier Dragon Saliva Spirit Grass, Li Qian turned his eyes to a large pile of Spiritual Gold Immortal Gold, his eyes glowing.

This was truly a massive fortune.

I truly don't know where the owner of this dragon nest collected so much Spiritual Gold Immortal Gold from.

So, he waved his hand, storing all the Immortal Gold Spirit Gold into Chenzhong Cave Heaven.

Suddenly, Li Qian glanced toward a corner, where there was something resembling a stone slab.

As Li Qian's Immortal Sense scanned it, he felt the Frosty Seed begin to stir restlessly.

"Is this the missing Strange Book?"

Li Qian's eyes glowed.

He hadn't expected to find the missing Strange Book in this dragon nest.

At the Ascendant Immortal Sect, he had researched information about the missing Strange Book.

Unfortunately, there was little information, just some words and phrases, all stating that this item was extremely dangerous.

Indeed, very dangerous.

If it weren't for Li Qian having Chen Bell, the powerful will within the missing Strange Book would be enough to destroy his consciousness.

Li Qian picked up the stone slab and tossed it into Chenzhong Cave Heaven without hesitation.

Just as he was about to leave the dragon nest, he suddenly heard movement from outside the nest.

He hurriedly entered Chenzhong Cave Heaven immediately.

Within Chenzhong Cave Heaven, he could perceive the outside world...

However, if he released his Immortal Sense, any powerful entity present would be immediately aware of it.

Therefore, while in Chenzhong Cave Heaven, Li Qian did not use his Immortal Sense, instead relying solely on his hearing to listen to the outside movements.

It felt like listening to sounds from a world apart, with a great sense of distance.

As long as sounds were within a certain range, he could still hear them clearly.

Not long after Li Qian entered Chenzhong Cave Heaven, a phantom-like figure descended upon the tree canopy, elusive without any aura.

This shadowy figure entered the canopy space directly.

Suddenly, seeing the empty canopy space, he was taken aback.

He hurriedly began to search carefully.

After a long while, having found nothing, his entire aura flared up intensely.

"Damn it, where's my missing Strange Book?"

His expression was grim.

But just then, a furious dragon roar came from afar, rapidly approaching.....

"How did it return so quickly? What a waste..."

He was extremely anxious.

Losing the missing Strange Book, that would be a great loss indeed.

The missing Strange Book is extremely precious, the best nutrient to promote the Principle Seed's forming and sprouting.

However, the terrifying will within the missing Strange Book is incredibly difficult to erode and requires the use of a special grand formation to do so.

If it wasn't for obtaining the Azure Dragon Egg that the Azure Dragon just laid, he wouldn't have brought out the missing Strange Book.

Even though the dragon egg was now in hand, was it worth losing the missing Strange Book?

This is undoubtedly a great loss.

Perhaps when the Azure Dragon was chasing someone, it took the missing Strange Book with it?

Impossible...

The will inside the missing Strange Book is incredibly terrifying, that Azure Dragon couldn't have forcibly carried it around; it must've been left in the nest.

But where did the missing Strange Book go?

Aside from himself, no one else could've come here....

Wait....

Suddenly, the shadowy figure glanced at the nest, seeing nothing.... the Dragon Saliva Immortal Spirit Grass was all gone.

And that huge pile of Immortal Gold Spirit Gold was also missing.

He recalled that when he traded the missing Strange Book with the Azure Dragon, everything was still here.

It's impossible that the Azure Dragon took these things when it left.

Dragon Beasts have a habit; even if that Azure Dragon lost its Dragon Egg, it wouldn't take the treasure along with it during its flight.

Someone must have sneaked into the Azure Dragon Nest ahead of him and took everything in one swoop.

"Who on earth could it have been that sneaked up to the Azure Dragon Nest before me and took everything?"

Who would dare come near the Azure Dragon Nest while the Dragon Beast is still around?

That's just courting death, isn't it?

That guy needs to get out of here as soon as possible now that the angry Azure Dragon is probably coming back.

Just the thought of the lost missing Strange Book made him feel like he had taken a significant hit.

Without it, he could barely leave the place so easily.

But just thinking about it makes him madder.

Unless... someone really snuck into the Azure Dragon Nest and swept everything away before he did.

"How can that Azure Dragon have returned so quickly? Imbecile..."

He was utterly flustered.

He had to leave immediately if he didn't want the Azure Dragon to catch up with him.

But thinking about losing the missing Strange Book, he was livid.

It's extremely valuable, the best nutrient to foment the germination of a Principle Seed.

He had only brought it out to trade for the Azure Dragon Egg just laid by the Azure Dragon. How could he lose it?

Just as he was berating himself, his body shook with a sudden shiver, and he vanished into the void with a burst of light emanating from him.

The tree crown shook violently, accompanied by a strong wind howling through the area, as an enormous blue-gray dragon squeezed into the canopy space and saw the body, letting out an enraged roar.

It ferociously stormed into the canopy space, saw the corpse, and let out an angry roar, wanting nothing more than to smash it to pieces.

But in the end, it forcibly held back.

It then found a Storage Device on the corpse and opened it quickly, only to find it without the Dragon Egg inside.

In the Chen Bell Grotto Heaven, Li Qian could sense the Azure Dragon had indeed returned.

But who exactly was that voice from earlier?

Could it be someone with a deep vendetta against the Unrivaled Daoist?

....
