The Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword and the Dragon Soul Magical Sword were both the accompanying swords of the Sword Holder back in the day.
Among them, the Dragon Soul Magical Sword was refined by him into a Sword Embryo and a Lifebound Flying Sword; this Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword was its true companion.
The scarlet Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword was unsheathed, and Shen Wen’an imdiately transford into Sword Aura, rging with the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword. Using the terrifying suction of the vortex, he shot up in an instant!
The Pig Demon Leader watched in horror as a terrifying Sword Aura headed straight for its mouth, imdiately wanting to stop the vortex, but it was clearly too late!
Puff!
The speed of Shen Wen’an, who had achieved Human-Sword Unity with the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword, was extrely fast. In just the blink of an eye, he pierced through the vortex and flew out from the back of the Pig Demon Leader’s head, which had swelled several tis in size!
The Sword Aura dissipated, and Shen Wen’an appeared at the top of the stone roof behind the Pig Demon Leader, holding his sword.
The surging Demon Essence within the Pig Demon Leader slowly beca chaotic and disordered, and its giant head returned to normal.
But a huge bloody hole appeared at the back of its head.
It staggered as it turned around, looking at Shen Wen’an with a hint of reluctance in its eyes, and then it fell to the ground with a loud crash.
Feeling the vitality within it completely dissipate, Shen Wen’an flashed from the stone roof to in front of it, and with the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword in hand, precisely cut open a gash in its abdon, reaching in to extract a fist-sized purple Demon Essence.
"Hmm?"
After extracting the Demon Essence Pill, he suddenly sensed another object emitting spiritual power fluctuations within the Pig Demon Leader’s body.
Sensing where the object was, the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword swiftly pierced out, directly extracting a blood-stained item from the Pig Demon Leader’s body.
"This is..."
Seeing the item, Shen Wen’an’s gaze faltered slightly.
A Bronze Fragnt!
The object inside this Pig Demon was actually another Bronze Fragnt!
This one was twice the size of the one obtained from that Hundred Beasts Mountain disciple and noticeably had so curvature, resembling the neck of a bottle.
After picking up the Bronze Fragnt, Shen Wen’an tore off the rag from the Pig Demon’s waist and wiped the bloodstains clean. Upon careful examination, he found that the patterns on this Bronze Fragnt were indeed very similar to those on the one he had obtained before.
He surmised that the two Bronze Fragnts should be from the sa Magical Artifact.
Pocketing the Bronze Fragnt and the Demon Essence Pill into his Storage Bag, Shen Wen’an began to carefully scrutinize the surroundings.
The Pig Demon Leader’s claim should be true.
This indeed is an abandoned spirit ore. The surrounding stone houses and nurous collapsed huts should have been left by humans who mined the Spirit Ore back then.
It is unknown whether the reason for abandonnt was the depletion of the Spirit Ore,
or so other unforeseen event that forced them to abandon it.
He slowly released his Divine Sense, preparing to conduct a thorough search first.
The Power of Divine Sense slowly extended, and suddenly an extrely dense fluctuation of spiritual power emanated from beneath the stone slab where the Pig Demon had been lying!
Shen Wen’an paused for a mont, then imdiately approached the stone slab, swung his sword, and unleashed Sword Aura to cleave it open!
As the dust settled, pieces of crystal-clear stones exuding rich spiritual Qi appeared in the secret groove beneath the stone slab!
Spirit Crystals!
In the stone groove, which was about ten feet long and more than a foot wide, there were over a hundred intact Spirit Crystals piled up!
Furthermore, atop these intact Spirit Crystals, there were so half-eaten Spirit Crystal Fragnts and so tiny spirit sand of various sizes!
It was clearly the handiwork of the Pig Demon Leader!
Such waste of heavenly materials!
Seeing this scene, a thought instantly arose in Shen Wen’an’s mind!
The Spirit Crystals from this secret groove, God knows how many were wasted by the Pig Demon Leader, just to achieve the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing cultivation.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, he hurriedly collected all the Spirit Crystals from the secret groove, along with those Spirit Crystal Fragnts and spirit sand, into his Storage Bag.
After a bit more searching, he soon found two Jade Scrolls.
Inserting his Divine Sense into them, Shen Wen’an finally understood why those Pig Demons and their leader possessed so peculiar techniques.
It was all because of these two Jade Scrolls in hand.
Among them, one Jade Scroll contained the "Mist Flood Dragon Nourishing Vein Technique".
Based on this, it can be inferred that this Spirit Ore should have originally belonged to the Dragon Taming Clan.
This Jade Scroll with the "Mist Flood Dragon Nourishing Vein Technique" should have been carried by a Dragon Taming Clan mber to cultivate while guarding the Spirit Vein.
As for the other Jade Scroll, it recorded so techniques and cultivation insights.
Shen Wen’an didn’t study them carefully, planning to take them back to the Black Water Pavilion and hand them over to his father, Shen Yuan, later.
After putting away the two Jade Scrolls, he continued forward and soon found a cave sealed by boulders and an array.
The rocks by the cave clearly showed signs of bludgeoning, apparently from the Pig Demon Leader attempting to open it by brute force, not understanding the array.
Standing at the cave entrance to sense for a mont, Shen Wen’an confird that there were still Spirit Crystals in the ore vein and finally abandoned the idea of violently breaking the array, turning instead to fly with Sword Control to the outskirts of the Black Pine Forest.
"Uncle?"
In the forest thirty miles outside the Black Pine Forest, Shen Chongming and four others were quietly waiting with a hundred Shen Family Soldiers.
Upon suddenly seeing Shen Wen’an flying in with Sword Control, they stood up and shouted.
"Uncle, how’s the situation inside?"
"Was the Pig Demon killed?"
Looking at Shen Wen’an in front of them, Shen Chongming asked in quick succession.
Shen Wen’an nodded, hesitated slightly, then spoke:
"Follow ."
After leading Shen Chongming to a location away from the others, Shen Wen’an whispered:
"Let Shi Miao lead the others to leave first, you and Zhao Tuan stay on the periphery."
