Lin Chen wandered and explored in the swamp, and unknowingly, half a month had passed. He estimated the resources he collected, and if exchanged into spirit crystals, they would probably exceed a billion low-grade spirit crystals.
This was a huge fortune, and Lin Chen naturally couldn't bear to directly feed it to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to absorb. After all, these resources had to be taken out of the Tianliu Continent to sell for spirit crystals, allowing the cauldron to absorb in the most energetic form made more sense.
For the energy absorbed by the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron doesn't care about rarity or attribute; as long as it's energy, it will suffice.
During this half month, Lin Chen collected some materials that could be used to set up a formation, but it was far from enough to build the materials that connect to the Mysterious Heaven Continent. According to the teleportation distance, many materials were needed, and to build a solid and larger teleportation array, what had been gathered was only about one-tenth.
Continuing his exploration, Lin Chen encountered another island that day, a much larger one than all those he had encountered in this half month.
Seeing such a gigantic island before him, Lin Chen immediately grew cautious, as the experience from this half month informed him that the larger the island, the rarer and more plentiful the treasures, and correspondingly, the magical beasts would also be stronger.
Lin Chen did not dare to be careless; he immediately activated the Abyssal Eye to look towards the island, only to find that the island far exceeded the probing range of his Abyssal Eye.
However, Lin Chen spotted some familiar figures on the island, including his arch-enemies.
For example, Lei Hao from the Flying Crane Sect, Tan Yingping from the Tan Family, Tong Hu from the Tong Family, and the barely recalled green figure, He Wentao, the guard beside Tang Tianpeng whom Lin Chen had slain before.
In addition, beside Lei Hao was a woman with a cold expression, full of hostility towards the surroundings, showing high vigilance. A guard beside Tan Yingping was enveloped in a rush of sword qi, apparently a sword cultivator with considerable swordsmanship acumen.
These two individuals exuded powerful auras, making Lin Chen feel endangered.
Through observation, Lin Chen noticed several factions on this island, with the Tan Family's faction led by Tan Yingping being the strongest and having the most people.
At this moment, the people from the Tan Family were distributed in the central area of the island, which was also the place richest in resources. Several factions were collecting treasures on the island, and the Tan Family seemed to be contending with a powerful creature.
Lin Chen focused his gaze, observing through his Abyssal Eye, discovering that the Tan Family was battling a colossal grey python.
Seeing that python made Lin Chen momentarily stunned.
Understandably, this grey python wasn't ordinary, for it had three heads and a snake body spanning dozens of miles, like a winding gorge.
Without some martial artist possessing trump cards, one would feel fear and insignificance upon seeing this python, appearing like ants before such a mighty creature.
"It's actually the Qingbi Python!"
Upon discovering this giant python, Lin Chen's heart was exceedingly shocked, muttering with a soft exclamation.
It's noteworthy that this Qingbi Python was highly rare for it possessed a heaven-defying ability, its existence often symbolizing wealth.
Lin Chen, thinking of this, couldn't help but gaze at the long mountain ridge behind the python, feeling a surge of excitement.
Indeed, wherever there was a Qingbi Python, there would certainly be the existence of Green Crystal Stones, as the Qingbi Python wielded spatial techniques.
And those Green Crystal Stones are incredibly rare stones containing spatial power.
Common spatial rings are crafted with space crystal stones, while higher-end spatial treasures are made with Green Crystal Stones, since Green Crystal Stones contain spatial might several times greater than ordinary space crystal stones.
Thus, even if merely a fist-sized piece of Green Crystal Stone, the spatial treasure crafted with it could possess a space exceeding hundreds of feet, unlike a common space crystal stone that could craft a spatial ring of merely a hundred feet.
This highlights the reason for the quality variance in spatial rings.
Understandably, a fist-sized piece of Green Crystal Stone is valued around ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals, making it more precious than Flame Crystal Stones.
At this moment, Lin Chen took a glance, spotting behind the Qingbi Python a comprehensive, sprawling thousand-foot Space Spirit Mine.
If these Green Crystal Stones were mined, their value would be immeasurable.
Moreover, apart from crafting large spatial rings, these Green Crystal Stones have a significant use—they can be utilized to set up spatial formations.
This kind of material used to set up spatial formations is the best choice, without exception.
Thus, when Lin Chen initially set up the formation, he always used space crystal stones, never considering using Green Crystal Stones. Now with these Green Crystal Stones, he can save a large amount of other materials.
At this moment, Lin Chen looked at the extensive mountain ridge behind the Qingbi Python, eyes gleaming brightly.
"Lin Chen, what's wrong? Have you found another valuable treasure?"
The Little Profound Turtle, seeing Lin Chen's eyes glowing, immediately asked.
Over this period, the Little Profound Turtle had grown accustomed to Lin Chen's look; every time Lin Chen discovered a valuable treasure, this expression would emerge, though this time was more exaggerated. Although the Little Profound Turtle didn't know how Lin Chen detected the surrounding treasures, his soul power had been impacted somewhat.
"Ahead is a vein of Green Crystal Stones!"
Lin Chen replied calmly.
"Green Crystal Stones? There's actually Green Crystal Stones here, and a whole vein?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the Little Profound Turtle jumped off Lin Chen's shoulder and said in great shock.
Being a descendant of Xuanwu, it naturally knew what Green Crystal Stones were.
Previously, the Little Profound Turtle didn't care much about the value of Green Crystal Stones in spirit crystals, but now with Lin Chen's Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, the Little Profound Turtle also became avaricious; after all, Lin Chen had to acquire more wealth to light up the second layer space of the cauldron, so it could have a better cultivation environment.
Just thinking about the twelfth and even more star maps being lit in the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron made the Little Profound Turtle exceedingly eager, instantly fired up.
"Lin Chen, what are you waiting for? Aren't you going to rush over and mine them all?"
