"The person who killed Elder Luo, their strength and origin must be no simple matter."

Another elder spoke.

"Great Elder, what should we do now?"

The gazes of the elderly men all shifted to the elder seated in the center.

"Elder Luo was one of our people from the Spirit Pavilion, and we must investigate thoroughly, no matter who killed him."

"Find the murderer, bring them down, and let it be known that the might of the Spirit Pavilion cannot be challenged."

"As for the matter of the East Sea auction, Fifth Elder, you go personally with people."

The Great Elder of the Spirit Pavilion Outer Pavilion said in a deep voice.

"Yes!!!"

An elder immediately stood up and spoke. It was, in fact, the Fifth Elder of the Spirit Pavilion Outer Pavilion.

Meanwhile, in this cave,

After Chu Feng extinguished this man, he began to collect these Spirit Crystals.

As for the Little Black Snake, it directly hugged a Spirit Crystal and began to devour it.

"You can also absorb soul power?"

Seeing this, Chu Feng looked at the Little Black Snake with surprise on his face.

In the blink of an eye, the Little Black Snake had emptied the energy from one Spirit Crystal.

The Spirit Crystal turned from milky white to transparent.

Then the Little Black Snake, appearing still unsatisfied, swallowed ten more Spirit Crystals before stopping.

Afterward, the Little Black Snake returned to Chu Feng's arm.

"You rascal, you ate one of my Blood Lotus Seeds before."

"And now you've gulped down so many of my Spirit Crystals in one go."

"You're really a glutton!!!"

Chu Feng said to the Little Black Snake somewhat irately.

Squeak squeak squeak!!!

The Little Black Snake made squeaking sounds, and suddenly its body shook.

A strong aura burst forth from it.

The body of the Little Black Snake suddenly grew larger,

Doubling in size compared to before.

Its pupils shone with a cold and eerie light.

And Chu Feng felt a dangerous aura emanating from the Little Black Snake.

After absorbing the Blood Lotus Seed and those dozen or so Spirit Crystals, the Little Black Snake had undergone some sort of transformation.

Subsequently, the Little Black Snake entered Chu Feng's sleeve and hid on his body once again.

Next, Chu Feng gathered all the Spirit Crystals.

To collect these Spirit Crystals,

Chu Feng had no choice but to remove his clothes and use them to carry the Spirit Crystals.

"It would be great if, like in the novels, I had a storage ring to avoid all this hassle!!!"

Chu Feng couldn't help but lament.

He had read "Strongest Expert of the Beautiful CEO" before.

The protagonist, Xiao Yifeng, had a storage ring,

Which could store anything at any time.

At this moment, Chu Feng wished he had such a treasure.

It would have saved him a lot of trouble.

Wait?

However, after Chu Feng had gathered all the Spirit Crystals,

He noticed a dark hole beneath them.

And in that hole grew a white four-leaf grass.

"What is this?"

Looking at the white four-leaf grass, a puzzled expression flickered in Chu Feng's eyes.

"Such a strong soul aura!"

Chu Feng felt a rich soul aura coming from the four-leaf grass.

The soul power within the grass was stronger than all the Spirit Crystals he had just collected combined.

"Could this be the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures containing soul power that the old man mentioned before!!!"

A look of shock crossed Chu Feng's face as he looked at the four-leaf grass.

At that moment, the Little Black Snake's head also popped out,

Its little eyes fixed on the grass as if it wanted to devour it.

"You get back, you can't eat this!!!"

Chu Feng quickly slapped the Little Black Snake's head, making it retract.

Then, Chu Feng carefully extracted the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures containing soul power and packed them away.

If Chu Feng consumed this treasure,

He believed his spiritual power would definitely surge to an extremely high level.

However, Chu Feng had no plans to take it just yet.

After all, the auction was set to begin tonight.

He would consider refining this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure after the auction ended.

This trip into the mountains had proven to be the right choice for Chu Feng.

Not only did he obtain hundreds of Spirit Crystals that could enhance soul power, but he also secured a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure containing soul power.

It could be said to be a massive harvest.

If word of these items got out, countless Strong People would probably come to vie for them.

It might even draw out the legendary Primordial Spirit Realm Experts.

But unfortunately, these treasures ultimately belonged to Chu Feng alone.

One couldn't help but say his luck was incredibly explosive.

Meanwhile, by the river bank of the East Sea.

Miao Miao sat alone, gazing at the incessant flow of the river before her.

Her expression was one of immense pain and desolation.

The only family she had left, her grandfather, had died.

And her lifesaver turned out to be the killer of her grandfather.

This predicament left Miao Miao's heart in immense pain and struggle.

At this time, two old women wearing Miao clothes and Miao Clan head ornaments, both with indifferent expressions, appeared behind her.

"Holy Maiden!!!"

The two old women called out to Miao Miao.

Miao Miao turned her head to look at the two, saying, "It's the Miao Clan again?"

"Holy Maiden, we are here by the Great Elder's command to take the Holy Maiden back to the Miao Clan," the two old women said.

"I am no Holy Maiden," Miao Miao retorted.

"With one of the Miao Clan's three great Emperor Gu Worms, the Golden Silk Gu, within you, you are our Miao Clan's Saintess," they insisted.

"Please return to the Miao Clan and take on the great responsibility of revitalizing our clan!!!" the two old women urged Miao Miao.

"I just want to forget all the pain right now, I don't want to be any Holy Maiden," Miao Miao said coldly.

"Want to forget the pain? That's easy," one of the old women said.

"There is a Gu Worm in the Miao Clan that, once ingested,"

"lets one forget everything before, including all previous pain."

The other old woman spoke.

"Really?" a look of surprise flashed in Miao Miao's eyes as she looked at the two old women.

"That's right," they nodded in confirmation.

"Fine, I'll go back with you!!!" Miao Miao's gaze flickered, and she nodded.

"Goodbye!!!" She then turned her gaze towards the direction of the East Sea and muttered to herself.

Afterward, Miao Miao followed the two Miao Clan old women back to the Miao Clan, beginning a new transformation.

At the same time,

at the Imperial Capital Yan Mountain, where the Sky Pavilion was located,

the two Sky Pavilion Masters who had been frightened by Chu Feng the night before returned here.

On their return, they immediately met with several leaders of the Sky Pavilion.

They reported that Jiangzhou Young Master Chu was none other than the Son of the Mad Dragon.

And that he had also slain Bai Xia, who was at the Grandmaster Realm's Fourth Grade.

"What?"

Hearing their words,

the Sky Pavilion leaders were all taken aback, pupils contracting.

They all showed an incredibly shocked look.

"The Son of the Mad Dragon has returned, and he's become a Grandmaster Realm Super Strong People?"

"How is this possible?"

"Are the two of you certain there's no mistake?" the Sky Pavilion leaders said in disbelief.

Clearly, the news was hard for them to accept at the moment.

After all, the Son of the Mad Dragon was known to all the major forces within Hua Country as a martial arts dud, incapable of cultivation.
