Chapter 628 - 262: Spirit Rice Puppets, Qi Swordsmanship_2

Ji Mingyue took the small puppet and glanced at the table, seeing that there were still more than nine of them. Her face lit up with joy, and she said with a smile, "Seventh Brother, there are ten intact ones here. On that day, we captured three hundred with slight damages to their Profound Secret Armor. I can repair them..."

"You like tinkering with these things, so I’ll leave this Puppet Book to you for research. Let’s see if we can make our own."

Chen Ping’s heart gladdened as he quickly handed over the ten small puppets along with a book he took out from his storage bag.

It was rare for Ji Mingyue to be interested in something.

He thought, perhaps these were used by that Huang Shengong in his usual studies and research. The Profound Secret Armor is indeed useful; it can turn ordinarily not-so-strong soldiers into mighty ones. If the numbers grow, leading troops to battle would naturally be invincible.

If Han Xiaoru knew about this, and that there are more than 300 sets of Profound Secret Armor to add 300 more peak Unity Realm subordinates to her command, she might go crazy with joy.

Unfortunately, Senior Sister is now leading forces sweeping through cities, possibly close to the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass, and not by my side at this moment.

The two storage bags obtained from the battlefield were larger than what we had taken from Situ Yun that day, especially the pitch-black bag embroidered with lotus from Huang Shengong, which was like a massive warehouse. It contained more than 300 spirit stones of various colors and six gem cubes that shone even brighter and were a hundred times more powerful.

Chen Ping recognized them as low-grade spirit stones, and those with a more lustrous hue and stronger energy were likely middle-grade spirit stones.

No wonder he’s a commanding general; he has an abundance of resources.

Besides these spirit stones, Chen Ping even found tens of thousands of catties of rice and grains inside the storage bags.

He took a handful out and saw the gleaming yellow rice grains resembling jade crystals, each the size of a little finger, with a robust and fragrant aroma that made his mouth water.

"Could this be..."

Ji Mingyue hadn’t left yet, and upon seeing this handful of rice, she couldn’t tear her eyes away, "Is this spirit rice?"

"You know about it too?"

"Yes, I heard from Sister Qingzhu that she’s had it a few times in the Purple Bamboo Forest, and it’s delicious. Usually, her master wouldn’t let her eat her fill, only to taste it a bit."

"This is Tier One Jade Crystal Rice, and possibly one of our greatest harvests."

Chen Ping sighed.

He gazed upwards at the sky.

The Nine Demon Suppression Halls truly live well. No doubt about it, these tens of thousands of catties of Jade Crystal Rice stored in the bags were used by Huang Shengong for training his troops.

One can imagine how strong and formidable his direct subordinates have become.

Even if they don’t eat spirit rice every day, having it occasionally could still make their cultivation soar.

Unlike our subordinates, who celebrate like it’s New Year when they eat a few Qi Blood Pills.

He sensed that the energy contained in a single grain of Jade Crystal Rice was significantly stronger than that of a Qi Blood Pill, and the energy was gentle and harmless, with no harm to the body at all...

"Instruct the kitchen to prepare spirit rice today. It’s a shame Qingzhu is stuck in Guangyun City and doesn’t want to move. If she and Xiaoyu were here, they’d surely be thrilled."

Thinking of those two foodies made Chen Ping chuckle.

Old Han’s culinary skills were indeed formidable, producing dishes that people never tire of eating. Once the battle situation stabilizes, he must be brought over.

Ji Mingyue, carrying a hundred catties bag of spirit rice, went out with a cheerful grin.

Chen Ping continued to carefully examine the treasures he had obtained.

"There are quite a few miscellaneous items, with most of them having an unknown usage. The bottles and jars can be set aside for now, to slowly test their medicinal properties.

These large chunks of beast meat should be the meat of Tier One bred spirit beast Soros Beasts, and there’s over tens of thousands of catties of it. Combined with spirit rice, we could train an elite force."

"Hmm..."

Chen Ping suddenly noticed a piece of purple-black wood, about a palm’s length and three fingers wide, with a fine texture, looking extraordinary.

He picked it up and instinctively used his Divine Sense to probe it.

Suddenly, there was a chill in the air, biting cold. A phantom with sinister laughter rushed toward his forehead.

He could sense the frantically joyous emotion emitted by the shadow.

"Hmm..." Chen Ping’s eyes narrowed, a vertical eye faintly appearing between his brows, and a seven-colored soul light suddenly emerged.

The shadow charged violently and couldn’t stop itself, crashing heavily onto the tip of the prismatic seven-colored soul light.

A piercing wail echoed within Chen Ping’s mind.

The shadow shattered into fragments, scattering in all directions and vanished.

"What happened?"

Ji Mingyue’s figure flashed in through the door crack like a stream of light, long sword in hand, eyes sharp.

"It’s nothing, just a minor accident. There was a spirit hidden within the wood intending to possess me... You can go back to your work."

Chen Ping knew that this girl had an exceptional level of Enlightenment.

Her telepathy was akin to bright moonlight, with Sword Heart Clarity developed, hence even the slightest negative disturbance could be sensed by her.

It was not surprising, so he merely comforted her with a smile before continuing to study the peculiar piece of wood.

"That must be Soul Nourishing Wood."

Ji Mingyue nodded knowingly, determinedly said.

"You know this too?"

Chen Ping was surprised.

"From the Immortal Chronicles."

Ji Mingyue covered her mouth with a light laugh.

She had a good relationship with Han Xiaoru, so good that the big girl would show her some of the miscellaneous books she had collected since childhood, as if presenting a treasure.

It was part of Han Xiaoru’s fond childhood memories.

Such as [Immortal Chronicles], [Records of the Three Emperors], [Decomposition of the Water Classic], [Qianluo Chronicles of Strange Phenomena], and more.
