Chapter 112 - 81: Gold Everywhere

Chapter 112: Chapter 81: Gold Everywhere

It was like a giant vortex. A ceaseless stream of Pigmen swarmed out from this gate of light, pouring into this space like a bursting dam!

’Two gates of light?!’

In that instant, based on the information sent back by the Mosquito Avatar, Lin Yi’s mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning.

He instantly connected all the clues!

’So that’s how it is! This isn’t the Pigmen’s world at all!’

’This place... it’s a gap created by the collision of two worlds! It’s a transit station connecting Blue Star and the Pigman world! Or rather, it’s a space independent of both—the Star Realm!’

’A Star Gate has appeared on both Blue Star and in the Pigman world. Both gates lead here, to this strange space called the Star Realm! It’s through the Star Realm that two completely unrelated worlds have been linked!’

As he pieced it all together, alarm bells went off in Lin Yi’s mind.

He instantly understood the strategic importance of the Star Realm.

’The Star Realm! This is an absolutely critical strategic location!’

Whoever controls the Star Realm controls the initiative in the war!

On the offense, you could invade through the enemy’s Star Gate at any time.

On the defense, you could use the Star Realm to build a line of defense, keeping the war from your own soil!

’Although the Star Gate only allows beings of the First Grade Realm to pass through for now, who can guarantee it won’t be upgraded in the future? Once beings of a higher realm can pass through, the consequences...’

Lin Yi didn’t dare to think too deeply, but his resolve was set.

’I must take the Star Realm! At any cost! Only by keeping the enemy outside the Star Realm can I ensure the safety of Blue Star itself!’

He didn’t have his Mosquito Avatar risk passing through the unknown gate of light that led to the Pigman world.

Instead, he immediately changed its direction.

It began a full reconnaissance of the Star Realm at top speed.

This Star Realm space wasn’t particularly vast.

It was only about thirty kilometers in diameter.

There was no sun, moon, or stars in the sky.

Yet, a constant, soft light shone down from some unknown source.

It kept the entire space in a state of eternal daylight, bright but not glaring.

The effect was both eerie and mysterious.

What delighted Lin Yi even more was that...

...the Spiritual Qi in the Star Realm was so dense it was almost tangible, allowing the land to nurture an incredible abundance of Spirit Medicines!

Many rare Spirit Medicines that were extremely scarce and priceless on the Spiritual Qi-deprived Blue Star were as common as weeds here!

A faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air, and just taking a breath made one feel their Qi and Blood faintly growing stronger.

’A land of gold! This is practically a natural treasure trove!’

Lin Yi was ecstatic.

Everywhere the Mosquito Avatar passed, it saw countless freshly dug pits where the faint fragrance and weak Spiritual Qi of Spirit Medicine roots still lingered.

’Damn those Pigmen! A plague of locusts!’

Lin Yi cursed under his breath.

The Pigman army had arrived in the Star Realm half a day ago and had clearly swept through the area, stripping the surface of almost all valuable Spirit Medicines.

But Lin Yi didn’t give up.

With a single thought,

his LV8 Tracking skill instantly activated!

Invisible waves of detection spread out from the avatar, covering a sixteen-kilometer area.

The Tracking skill could not only lock onto the energy signatures of living beings but could also keenly detect the unique energy fluctuations emitted by Heavenly and Earthly Treasures containing Spiritual Qi!

’There’s no way you could’ve been that thorough!’

Sure enough!

Before long,

the map provided by his Tracking skill lit up.

In a hidden valley, a dense cluster of vibrant green dots appeared!

They formed a small patch, emitting alluring fluctuations of Spiritual Qi!

’Found it!’

Lin Yi’s spirits soared. He immediately controlled the Mosquito Avatar, sending it flying toward the valley indicated by the dots like an arrow loosed from a bow.

It passed through several jagged rock walls,

and entered a quiet valley concealed by natural rock formations.

When he got a clear look at the small patch of plants at the bottom of the valley, which flickered with specks of golden light,

Lin Yi was so excited he practically trembled!

’HISS! Golden Radiance Grass! There’s so much of it?!’

On the ground, more than twenty strange herbs were growing vigorously. Their bodies looked as if they were cast from pure gold, with a faint golden light flowing along the edges of their leaves!

This was the very same Golden Radiance Grass that was priceless and practically unavailable on Blue Star, a single stalk of which could sell for five hundred thousand Huaxia Coins and served as a core ingredient for refining Third Grade Pills!

And here, they were growing in a patch!

’More than twenty stalks... that’s over ten million! I’ve struck it rich overnight!’

Lin Yi’s heart pounded wildly.

The Mosquito Avatar immediately got to work.

Using its razor-sharp wings, it carefully cut the stalks.

Then, using its slender appendages, it pulled them up one by one, roots and all.

It quickly gathered them into a small pile that resembled a miniature mound of golden hay, radiating both an alluring Spiritual Qi and the gleam of wealth.

However,

as he gazed at the priceless treasures,

Lin Yi faced a dilemma.

The Mosquito Avatar did indeed possess an Invisibility Superpower, but the Spirit Medicines themselves couldn’t turn invisible!

How was he supposed to get them through the Star Gate and back to Blue Star?

Lin Yi sighed, left with no choice but to make the most prudent decision for the time being.

Hide them on the spot!

’I can only hide them for now and wait for my real body to come and get them!’

The Mosquito Avatar immediately transformed into a diligent excavator.

Its pair of forelimbs, hard as refined steel and shaped like sharp blades, swung at high speed, acting like the most precise drill as they rapidly dug into the hard ground in the most hidden corner of the valley.

Dirt and broken stones flew everywhere.

Soon,

a narrow, deep pit, seven to eight meters deep and just large enough to hide the Spirit Medicines, was dug out.

Lin Yi controlled the avatar, carefully placing all the Golden Radiance Grass at the bottom of the pit, then quickly refilled it with dirt and meticulously concealed the traces, ensuring it was virtually undetectable from the surface.

Just as he finished patting down the last handful of earth,
