Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1948 Stealing Spiritual Energy

Just as we were chatting, a mission arrived. Zhang Liangzhi specifically said that this was of utmost importance, and we didn't even have time to think about it before getting ready to set off to find out what it was all about. It turned out that we had to go to a mountain full of spiritual energy to seize its spiritual energy. At first, I didn't think much of it, since we were going to another world, and the spiritual energy in this world wouldn't be usable there, so there was no need for us to bring it with us. But after thinking about it carefully, if we used this spiritual energy now as part of our cultivation, wouldn't it make things easier for us there? With that in mind, we all rushed to the mountain without stopping. There were many tents on the mountain, and we knew that many cultivators had already arrived. Here, some people come just to absorb some spiritual energy, to "check in." I smiled slightly; those people don't actually know how to absorb spiritual energy into their bodies. Coming here is indeed a good thing, after all, the air quality is good, which is very beneficial to the body, much better than the pollution emitted in cities. The reason this matter is being taken seriously is because, with gradual mining, mountains with spiritual energy are becoming increasingly rare. Now that they've found some, and with spiritual energy flowing out in large quantities, not wanting to be absorbed by the world, greedy humans have begun to collect it relentlessly. Many powerful individuals have used their magical treasures to absorb spiritual energy, while many others simply cannot find any at all. We were just trying our luck here. This world doesn't absorb much spiritual energy; it mainly releases the rest, which is mostly absorbed by nearby animals to cultivate into powerful demons. In this situation, we only have one option: to steal all the useful spiritual energy before they do. But we're not robbers, and we can't do that. Every time something like this happens, there are casualties and risks. We don't want to make such a fuss here. After all, we're all going to another world, and leaving such a bad reputation here isn't necessary. We set up our tents, and many people... They wanted to be on our team, perhaps because they saw our strength, or perhaps because we had more people, giving us a better chance of winning. Several people even recognized Zhou Chuxing and her group. One man approached, wanting to shake hands: "This must be Miss Zhou! I've heard so much about you. I went to your grandfather's place on some business before, and he met me in person. I brought him a fine piece of treasure, which he also examined. We can't say we've made friends, but we're acquainted." I could clearly tell the man was being modest, afraid to say "friends" for fear of being rejected and embarrassed. "Acquainted" meant they had met and interacted. Zhou Chuxing smiled slightly: "Sir, since you know my grandfather, you must be his friend! Our team is quite large. I wonder if you've come alone?" Zhou Chuxing skillfully avoided trying to ingratiate himself. Although he admitted that his grandfather knew the man and they had a relationship, he didn't want to get involved. Their team was large, and many people wanted to join. Zhou Chuxing wouldn't dare ask without everyone's permission. The man quickly shook his head: "Of course not. Our team has over a dozen people, all professional explorers. We're here to see if we have any treasures or powerful little creatures to take back for good deeds. We don't want to ingratiate ourselves with your team. We just wanted to say that if any conflicts or disputes arise later, we hope your team can help." "Help us, protect us. Our team does have explorers, but we can't compare to those skilled and strong ones. If we find the treasure, we'll split it 50/50, how about that?" Zhou Chuxing hesitated, turning to look at us. I gave Lin Zhenfei a look, and he immediately understood: "Sir, I know what you mean. You want us to provide protection, and then split the profits 50/50 if we find the treasure? That's unnecessary. Since you're Zhou Yeye's friend, we're friends. Protection is just a side thing, a small matter, nothing to worry about. If we even want that money, that would be too unfair." The man opposite him smiled and nodded: "You're absolutely right. May I ask who you are?" Lin Zhenfei smiled: "Lin Zhenfei, you probably haven't heard of me! It's not important." The man's eyes widened: "How could I not have heard of you? You sound so familiar."
