“Yi?” His eyes lit up all of a sudden. There was actually a ring on the finger of this corpse.
If a powerful warrior such as this person was still wearing this kind of adornment, then one thing was clear. This ring was definitely a treasure!
It could be a Spiritual Tool, or could be a support-type treasure that could help one meditate and rest, but the biggest possibility of what it could be was—Spatial Ring.
It could create a dimension of its own that was a space for storage.
Ling Han removed the ring, used his divine sense to scan over it, and could confirm that this was definitely the Spatial Ring that he had always wanted.
‘What a huge reward!’ He thought. Even if he did not get anything else out of this journey, it was a big enough reward to have gotten this Spatial Ring.
“Your grin looks so terrifying, what is it?” Li Si Chan said, feeling a bit crept out. The grin currently on Ling Han’s face was really too scary.
Ling Han laughed and said, “Let me show you two a magic trick.”
He slipped the Spatial Ring onto his finger, then removed a pill bottle from his pocket. He waved it around a few times, indicating for the two girls to watch clearly. Then, with a ‘Xiu’, the pill bottle had disappeared.
“Yi!” The two girls gasped in unison. How could a solid pill bottle just disappear like that?
“Aren’t you going to give me some applause?” Ling Han asked with a smile.
“Yi, how did you make the thing disappear?” Li Si Chan’s eyes were wide open in a stare. If it was not the fact that Ling Han was male and she was female, she really wanted to search all over Ling Han’s body.
“It would not be interesting if I tell you the trick to it,” Ling Han laughed. He took out the pill bottles and monetary notes from his pockets and, one by one, stored them into the Spatial Ring.
It truly was the Spatial Ring that once belonged to a Heaven Tier warrior. The space inside was about as big as a whole house, so it could store a lot of things. The benefits of the Spatial Ring was not only the fact that it was convenient. Another advantage of it was that it could hide things very well. Unless the Spatial Ring was snatched away, there was no way the things stored inside would be found.
In this tiny little Rain Country, probably no one else knew how to use the Spatial Rings, so Ling Han was very reassured.
What Ling Han thought disappointing was the fact that the Spatial Ring was completely empty. There was nothing inside at all.
There was no way an ultimate warrior of Heaven Tier could be this poor, of course. Ling Han deduced that this warrior of Heaven Tier was well aware that he was going to die in this battle, so he had left behind all the good stuff he owned to his descendants. The Spatial Ring most possibly only contained things like some alchemical pills that could replenish his Origin Power or heal his injuries, as well as his Spiritual Tools.
Thus, the alchemical pills were used, and the Spiritual Tools were taken out to be used in battle, so there was naturally nothing left inside the Spatial Ring.
Forget it, one can’t be too greedy.
Ling Han buried the corpse of this warrior, feeling a bit of sorrow as he did. How rare and powerful was a warrior of Heaven Tier… yet in the end, there wasn’t even a person to collect his remains. One really has to sigh at this.
“Let’s go!” They continued to advance forwards.
Those who had walked ahead of them had also discovered a corpse. Yet they were not as lucky as Ling Han, who had managed to obtain a Spatial Ring. They only saw a pile of white bones, that shattered into dust upon a single touch.
The remains of powerful warriors of Heaven Tier should not be so feeble, but the appearance of the Bone Eating Grass has changed everything. The nutrients and essence of these bones have all been absorbed by the grass so they had become the same as those of a mortal, thus it was natural that they were unable to withstand the eroding powers of time.
If Ling Han had come just a bit later, then the corpse he had discovered would not have been as intact. The essence of the bones had not yet been completely absorbed by the Bone Eating Grass, so naturally the bones were still able to maintain their sturdiness.
The Bone Eating Grass was a very odd kind of plant. It could only grow on the remains of powerful warriors of at least Deity Transformation Tier, yet it did not have any value by itself. The essence that it had sucked out would be directly returned to nature.
It could be claimed as the garbage collector of nature.
Ling Han’s face became more and more somber. Just the way that he had passed, he could see no less than twenty corpses of these powerful warriors.
Twenty corpses!
When have Heaven Tier warriors become so cheap?
“Yi, what is that?” Liu Yu Tong asked, suddenly pointing at a spot.
Ling Han looked in the direction she was pointing at and saw that there was a white flower growing all alone there. The flower stem was like jade and its bud was about the size of a human fist. There was light glowing all around it. He suddenly gaped in shock, a disbelieving expression on his face.
Even he, someone who had once been an ultimate warrior of Heaven Tier, was very shocked—it was proof that this flower was definitely extraordinary!
That was natural, because the light flickering around the flower was the same as the light that shone from the Light of God.
A Level Ten Spiritual Medicine; this could be claimed as a medicine of the gods!
“This is a big bonus, a really big bonus!” A strange light shone from Ling Han’s eyes. In his last life, he had only heard of Level Nine treasured medicines, and had hoped at least to see such an item once in his lifetime, yet had never thought that he would be able to come upon a Level Ten godly medicine in this life.
Could this kind of godly medicine in front of them allow one to immediately become a deity, and directly shatter the void to become a god?
Ling Han did not know, but such a godly medicine was right in front of him. There was no justification to him simply passing by, ignoring it.
He immediately walked towards the godly medicine, his expression unable to hide the excitement he was feeling.
“Stop right there!” There was a cold humph, and four men were racing over. Obviously, they had also discovered this stalk of godly medicine—though they did not know its true value.
How could Ling Han bother to pay them any attention? However, these four people were not just fast, they had also shot out a long-distance attack. “Xiu,” a flash of light from a saber swept over, a dominating pressure emanating from it.
Liu Yu Tong drew her sword and, “ding,” managed to block this saber attack.
“All who manage to find the natural treasures of this world have a share to it. Let us first discuss how we are going to divide it among ourselves!” A middle-aged man said as he neared them.
“Huang Zi Tao!” Liu Yu Tong’s elegant brow wrinkled into a slight frown, showing a sliver of dread in her expression.
This man was a clansman of the Huang Clan of the Eight Great Clans. In terms of age, he was older by Liu Yu Tong by about ten years, and was in his early thirties. He was in the fifth layer of Gushing Spring Tier and was definitely not someone to be underestimated.
“We take ninety percent, and you guys get ten percent. No disagreements, right?” Huang Zi Tao said haughtily.
…If he knew that this was a stalk of godly medicine, then he most probably would not be talking about this kind of division method, and instead immediately kill them off to keep them from divulging the secret, and making this godly medicine his own.
“No disagreements your sister!” Ling Han directly gave him the middle finger.

“Damn!” Huang Zi Tao and his companions were stunned for a while before finally reacting. They all brandished their respective weapons in a very aggressive manner.
They had already long disliked the look
of Ling Han. He was only a single person but he had managed to obtain the hearts of both Twin Pearls of the Imperial City. Hearing his provocative reply now, how could they hold themselves back anymore? They all brandished their respective weapons in attack and charged towards him.
“Bullying those who are younger than you, don’t you feel the slightest bit of shame?” Ling Han snorted, his feet placed in the movements of Exiting Cloud Steps, his sword quivering, shooting out flashes of cold light.
Not all of Huang Zi Tao’s party were powerful elites. The other three were only in Element Gathering Tier, and they had only dared to charge because Huang Zi Tao was there to hold up the lines. Ling Han thus placed his focus on these three people. The Exiting Cloud Steps was a quick and strange movement, allowing him to dodge every single one of Huang Zi Tao’s attacks. His Sword Qi danced unhindered, shooting towards the other three men.
His battle prowess was enough to dominate an ordinary martial artist in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier, plus he had also formed six flashes of Sword Qi, so his attack power was definitely domineering. “Shua, shua, shua,” the torn pieces of cloth flew everywhere as if they were butterflies, and the three men suffering the brunt of his attacks shrieked. The clothing on their bodies was continuously being slashes into pieces, leaving behind one wound after another.
“Brat, face me directly if you dare!” Huang Zi Tao shouted furiously.
“Is something wrong with your brain?” Ling Han snorted. “I’m only in the sixth layer of Element Gathering Tier, yet you’re in the fifth layer of Gushing Spring Tier, and you still want me to face you directly? Have you become an idiot from too much martial arts practice?”
“Damn!” Huang Zi Tao once again cursed, and shouted loudly, “Step back, all of you!”
These three people were not able to help him—on the contrary, they were hindering him, making him unable to fully use his abilities. They were even sometimes used as human shields by Ling Han, forcing him to withdraw his saber in the nick of time quite a few times.
After the other three had stepped back as per his command, Huang Zi Tao waved his saber, and indeed, the area of effect of his attacks expanded. The light of the saber was bitingly cold, and like pouring water, surrounded Ling Han completely. In such a situation, he was indeed very much at the advantage, suppressing Ling Han to the point that he was unable to fight back in any way at all and could only dodge to the best of his abilities.
Yet Liu Yu Tong did not fling out any attacks of her own. Instead, she took advantage of the opportunity to continue to advance nearer to that stalk of godly medicine. This was the plan that Ling Han had decided on from the start. He would be the one in charge of detaining Huang Zi Tao, while Liu Yu Tong would be responsible for plucking the medicinal herb.
As long as Huang Zi Tao was unable to free himself to stop her, then how could a few martial artists of mere Element Gathering Tier be able to match Liu Yu Tong?
“Oh, no!” None of the three were idiots, so they very quickly discovered Liu Yu Tong’s movements. They hurriedly pounced, intending to stop her. However, they had moved a little too late, and added with the fact that all three were only in Element Gathering Tier, how could they manage to catch up to her?
Liu Yu Tong moved without turning up any dust, quickly making her way to that stalk of godly medicine.
Just when she saw that she was only about ten metres away from her target, “shua.” A flash of Sword Qi swept towards her, forcing her to stop her advance.
A white-robed young man wielding a sword approached them. His face was like crowning jade, and he had black hair. Every step he took was as if he was performing some kind of amazing rhythm of nature, inadvertently attracting the eyes of everyone in the area, becoming the target of everyone’s attention.
“Sun Bu Ren!” Liu Yu Tong’s eyes narrowed a bit, revealing an expression of deep dread.
Sun Bu Ren, the most outstanding clansman of this generation of the Sun Clan. Though he was not one of the Core Disciples of the Hu Yang Academy, he was still among the ten strongest True Disciples, having the ability to break into the ranks of the Core Disciples.
His name was originally Sun Ren, yet he later changed his name to Sun Bu Ren. Apparently, he has always admired the merciless character of Xiao Xiong, and the way he would use all ends to achieve his means. Thus, the name Sun Bu Ren was born. [1]
Third layer of Gushing Spring Tier, with unfathomable depths to his battle prowess—he should be at least able to reach five Stars.
“Yu Tong girl, could you yield this treasured herb to me? How about it?” Sun Bu Ren wore a smile on his face, as warm as a gust of wind in spring. Yet those who were familiar with him knew very well that this person was of fickle character. In one instant, he could be all smiles, but in the next, his face could change completely as he made a move to kill you.
“I don’t agree with that!” A light laughter was heard, and another person appeared. This newcomer was quite tall, with a handsome appearance, and in terms of aura, was not beneath Sun Bu Ren.
“Hu Feng Yue!” Sun Bu Ren’s expression tensed.
Hu Feng Yue was also one of the ten strongest True Disciples of Hu Yang Academy.
“Me neither!” Another young elite appeared, yet this one was a little fatty. His figure was as round as a wine barrel, yet his appearance caused both Hu Feng Yue and Sun Bu Ren to frown.
Qian Wu Yong, also one of the ten strongest True Disciples.
All right, then. The area was quite empty just now, yet in a few moments, so many elite martial artists have appeared.
Ling Han and Huang Zi Tao naturally both ceased fighting. There were too many elite martial artists here, and whoever made the first move was definitely an idiot.
“Hehe, none of you want to make a move? Then this Spiritual Medicine will belong to me!” Qian Wu Yong shot forward. Though he was exceptionally plump, he was also exceptionally fast, and within moments, he had reached the stalk of godly medicine.
“Insolence!” Sun Bu Ren, Hu Feng Yue, and Huang Zi Tao all acted at the same time. Saber Qi and Sword Qi flew forward in unison, creating a terrifying sight.
Qian Wu Yong could not help but turn over in midair to dodge the attacks of these three people. Even he would not dare to clash head-on with the united attacks of three such elite warriors.
However, the deadlock was broken, and the four of them attacked each other. They would be stopping each other from snatching away the treasured herb, while also trying their best to first get their hands on the treasured herb. All of a sudden, the scene was in a complete mess.
Ling Han did not move. Instead, he simply stood at one side. When the victor was finally decided, he would only need to just take out his treasured saber to snatch back the godly medicine.
Huang Zi Tao and the other three had been worried at first that the shock waves from their battle would be too powerful and damage that stalk of treasured herb. But after their battle had gone on for a while, they realized that all the energy of their attacks would be blocked from advancing further by the light surrounding the herb once it reached it. The shock wave was unable to spread any farther than that.
Now, they were even bolder, and their movements were even more without care. Sabers and swords flashed as Origin Power gushed forth.
As Ling Han watched, he gave a light nod. Aside from Huang Zi Tao, all the other three were extremely powerful. If it was not for the fact that Huang Zi Tao had the advantage in terms of cultivation level, he would have been forced out of the battle by the other three long ago. Even so, Huang Zi Tao was the weakest one of the bunch. There was not much difference whether he was there or not.
Sun Bu Ren managed to form three flashes of Sword Qi, while Hu Feng Yue had three flashes of Saber Qi. The little fatty used claws, and similarly had three flashes of Qi. The three of them could be said to be evenly matched, and it was difficult to decide who was the stronger one.
“They are all among the ten strongest True Disciples
of the Academy. As for the question about who is stronger, none of them have revealed their true prowess before, so there is no basis for judgment,” Liu Yu Tong whispered to Ling Han.
Ling Han smiled faintly, and said, “Within three months, you will definitely be able to surpass them!”
If these words were heard by someone else, they’d definitely laugh themselves half to death.
One has to know that the reputations of Hu Feng Yue and the other two in Hu Yang Academy have all come from the many battles they have fought. They had also spent quite a few years before finally managing to attain the positions they had today. How could they simply be surpassed as easily as that?
Yet Liu Yu Tong was absolutely confident. Her talent was real, plus she was cultivating a Heaven Grade cultivation technique and using the alchemical medicines that Ling Han had concocted; there was also the Black Grade high level martial arts technique that she was learning. All these factors added together would definitely allow her to be completely transformed into a new person in three months’ time.
