Chapter 263 5 Bounty

Chen Yang had by now roughly figured out that spiritual treasures could be roughly divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow!

This Earth-rank spiritual treasure, the Three Fiends Soul-Suppressing Bell, was far more powerful than Chen Yang had imagined. After all, even Chen Yang's own spiritual power was intimidated by this Earth-rank spiritual treasure. An ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would have no chance against it!

Chen Yang opened the panel and glanced at it:

[Ding! Host can spend 100 million spirit stones to upgrade the Earth-rank spiritual treasure, the Three Fiends Soul-Suppressing Bell, to the Heaven-rank spiritual treasure level!]

Chen Yang swallowed hard. One million spirit stones was indeed a lot, but if he could get a Heaven-rank spiritual treasure, that would be awesome!

Chen Yang glanced at his system panel; his remaining spirit stones were 48.

Chen Yang felt a pang of pain when he saw the number—he was spending money way too fast! When he left Zhou Fen, he still had a million spirit stones on him, and now he had already spent more than half of them!

Chen Yang casually closed the system panel.

At this moment, Li Yalan picked up a ring from the ground, walked towards Chen Yang, and said, "Chen Yang, this is Gao Miao's storage ring."

Chen Yang took the ring, opened the space to check, and his pupils shrank immediately!

This storage ring has a surprisingly large capacity!

A normal storage ring is only about one cubic meter in size, but the reason why my storage ring has a large space is because it has been upgraded.

However, the storage ring that Gao Miao was wearing already had a space of 5 meters in length, width and height!

Inside the storage ring were thousands of blood-red agate fruits—the very fruits he had refined from the corpses of those Golden Core Realm cultivators!

At this moment, Chen Yang understood that Gao Miao was an elite plant-type demon, which was why she could control the spores in the air to suddenly germinate and grow, turning the corpses of cultivators into nutrients to grow those disgusting fruits!

Besides these blood-red fruits, there were actually over 10 spirit stones in Gao Miao's storage ring! This was beyond Chen Yang's expectations.

Chen Yang said to Li Yalan, "I didn't expect Gao Miao to be so wealthy, with so many spirit stones, and she even has a low-grade spirit treasure! It's unbelievable!"

Li Yalan then spoke up, "I think these things were left behind by dead cultivators. Whether it's spirit stones or the spiritual treasures of their Eastern Island Kingdom, they're all controlled by Gao Miao. I think Gao Miao must have discovered that cultivator's cave and then taken all the good stuff for himself."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "That's true! By the way, do you know exactly where a cultivator's cave dwelling is?"

Li Yalan chuckled and nodded, saying, "I know! I've already inquired. The cave dwelling is not far from the Prime Minister's residence, deep underground. Actually, everything in that cultivator's cave dwelling has been emptied out. Everything is in Gao Miao's old room, including this storage ring, which I think most likely belongs to that cultivator!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately said, "Let's go take a look!"

Chen Yang collected the corpses of the eight holy demons, intending to give them to Tiger Eagle later.

As for the fruits cultivated with the flesh and blood of demonic beasts, Chen Yang asked Li Yalan if she wanted to eat them. Li Yalan naturally refused, and Chen Yang himself would not eat them either—after all, the flesh and blood and spiritual energy extracted directly from humans were highly polluted!

Although it works very well, it will inevitably leave some unknown hidden dangers in the body. Whether it pollutes one's spirit or depletes one's potential, it will eventually erupt at some point in the future!

Chen Yang and Li Yalan jumped onto the golden-armored tiger-headed eagle and headed straight for the Prime Minister's residence.

At this moment, there were no other threats from this island nation, so Chen Yang didn't need to care about other people's opinions at all!

The hawk swooped past and arrived at the Prime Minister's residence in just a few minutes.

Li Yalan stroked the tiger eagle's head with delight, unable to put it down.

Chen Yang pulled Li Yalan aside and said, "Alright, alright, stop touching it, you're making it shy! Tonight I'll let you touch my tiger head!"

Li Yalan chuckled and then the two quickly entered the Prime Minister's residence.

Next to the Prime Minister's residence was Gao Miao's room. At this moment, everyone was extremely respectful to Li Yalan. They would kneel down when they saw Li Yalan and did not even dare to look directly at her!

After entering Gao Miao's room, Chen Yang pushed open a hidden door. Inside the secret room was a skeleton, with some scrolls beside it. As for the spirit stones and spirit treasures, they had all been taken by Gao Miao.

Now it seems that the Golden Silk Thousand Seal Net and the Three Fiends Soul-Suppressing Bell were indeed left behind by this cultivator!

Chen Yang walked over and carefully examined the skeleton.

The man had been dead for an unknown period of time; his entire body was soaked in seawater toxins, and his internal organs were long since rotten and shriveled, still emitting a foul stench. However, the material of his clothes was quite good; although the body was somewhat decomposed, the clothes were still intact.

At this moment, Li Yalan pointed to his clothes and said in surprise, "Look, are the three characters 'Tianhaimen' embroidered on those clothes?"

Chen Yang looked at the small insignia on his waist, and sure enough, it had the three characters "Tianhaimen" on it!

Chen Yang was taken aback and said, "Could it be that people from the Tianhai Sect died here?"

Chen Yang lifted the garment and searched it, but found no other markings.

Beside the corpse were some scrolls and plaques—these were probably taken out of Gao Miao's storage ring and thrown here, since Gao Miao considered them useless!

Chen Yang picked up the two signs next to him:

One of the signs was cyan, with the words "Tianhai Sect" on the front and "Inner Disciple" in smaller print on the back.

Chen Yang exclaimed in surprise, "He really is an inner disciple of the Tianhai Sect! I wonder why he died here?"

Below this cyan sign, there is a blood-red sign about the size of a palm.

Chen Yang picked up the sign. The front of the blood-red sign depicted a building that looked like a prison, with the words "Six Doors of the Immortal Dynasty" written below it. On the back of the sign were the three smaller characters "Enforcement Envoy".

Chen Yang was a bit confused when he saw the sign: "The Immortal Dynasty's Six Doors? What kind of organization is that? How come this guy is both a disciple of the Heavenly Sea Sect and an enforcer of the Six Doors?"

While they were still pondering, Li Yalan pointed to a parchment scroll and exclaimed excitedly, "Chen Yang, look! This is an arrest warrant!"

Chen Yang picked up the parchment scroll. It contained only one page with very simple writing:

[Wanted Person: Ma Wenyuan]

Current strength: Late Foundation Establishment Realm (Note: May break through at any time)

This person, hiding within the Tianhai Sect, is a blood relative of the Enforcement Elder. He has committed a heinous crime, privately massacring an entire city and wiping out his entire clan; his crime deserves death!

[A bounty of five million spirit stones is offered for the capture of this person, dead or alive!]

Upon seeing the words "five million spirit stones," Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat. He excitedly stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "Damn! This is a real big spender! This is the place that truly suits me! Zhongzhou is indeed wealthy! Ma Wenyuan is worth a fortune; I hope he's still alive, haha!"
