Upon seeing a mysterious purple crystal ore in the shape of a giant python, permeating the entire cave dwelling.
The purple crystal ore was covered with various rare spiritual plants, all used by the Demon Race.
Jiang Fan didn’t recognize most of them, but there was a patch of azure blue plants resembling flames, with a small section of the rhizome exposed, astonishingly in the shape of a baby.
This is the Demon Infant Fruit!
A heaven-defying divine fruit capable of enhancing cultivation in the Demon Emperor Realm, extinct in Taicang State for a thousand years.
Back in the Divinity Transformation Relics, he had only managed to acquire a few.
Yet now, under the nourishment of the crystal ore, they grew like wild grass, numbering at least a hundred!
And these were merely spiritual plants casually planted by the Black Dragon Venerable.
The true treasures were within the crystal ore.
The long crystal ore had been carved into individual crystal chambers, each protected by powerful magic restrictions.
A glance revealed nothing but rare treasures.
Most of them were Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, some exuding such strong spiritual pressure that it was the most Jiang Fan had ever seen in his life.
Presumably, they were great supplements for Demon Monarchs at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Let alone the Demon Race, even Jiang Fan, a member of the Human Clan, was moved.
Soul Shadow Demon Lord’s eyes were already burning, and his breathing was rapid, as he said:
"This is a celestial crystal ore that Black Dragon Venerable accidentally obtained."
"It possesses incredible abilities, able to store Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, preserving their spiritual essence for millennia."
"When Black Dragon Venerable acquired the crystal mine, it already contained many powerful heavenly materials from the outer world, which helped him rise from an ordinary Demon Monarch to rivaling Jinlin Venerate!"
Jiang Fan was secretly astonished.
There really are so many great things from the outer heavens!
The Jian Family also obtained an arena from the outer world, thereby establishing a familial legacy comparable to the Three God Sect and the seven great sects.
The Star Mountain in Returning Ruins State also occupied an Immortal Mountain from the Immortal Realm, establishing the leadership of the Human Clan in that state.
Currently, Black Dragon Venerable also relied on the mysterious crystal mine from the outer heavens to become the supreme of a state.
Soul Shadow Demon Lord, gazing at the array of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, said fervently: "Most of the outer world’s materials have already been used by Black Dragon Venerable."
"But there’s still one material left that Black Dragon Venerable has been reluctant to use."
Saying this, he gazed eagerly at the Little Black Snake in Jiang Fan’s hand.
Jiang Fan understood, puzzled, "You want to take Black Dragon Venerable’s treasure?"
"That is not a wise decision; if you take his things, he can track you through his senses."
"No matter where you flee, even to the ends of the earth, it won’t help."
The Divinity Transformation Venerables have a terrifyingly keen sense for auras.
Back then, when he took True Word Venerable’s life-saving lotus, she could track his aura from Taicang State to the Great Wilderness State, and then again to Hunyuan State.
True Word Venerable had such capability, let alone Black Dragon Venerable?
If Soul Shadow Demon Lord dared to take it, it would be a dead-end.
Soul Shadow Demon Lord didn’t explain; rubbing his hands, he said:
"Do me this favor, and I’ll immediately tell you the whereabouts of those two girls."
"And I can also provide them with a fortuitous encounter."
Jiang Fan frowned slightly.
This guy really is greedy.
Having a Black Lotus of Tribulation lotus seed wasn’t enough, he had to covet Black Dragon Venerable’s treasures.
But time was pressing; Black Dragon Venerable could return at any time, and he had no time to argue further.
He said in a deep voice, "Three items at most!"
Soul Shadow Demon Lord was overjoyed, saying, "Three will be enough!"
"Follow me!"
He flickered to the far end of the crystal mine.
There was a rather spacious crystal chamber, with a water pit in the middle filled with pure, clear liquid.
Despite the crystal ore and restrictions, Jiang Fan could smell the rich, verdant aroma of herbs and plants.
"Just fill this up!" Soul Shadow Demon Lord handed Jiang Fan a palm-sized gourd.
"With the Little Black Snake in your hand, you can ignore the restrictions and enter."
Jiang Fan didn’t take it but instead handed the Little Black Snake to him: "Go in yourself."
Soul Shadow Demon Lord hurriedly backed away, not daring to touch the Little Black Snake, exclaiming:
