Chapter 997: Hand Warrs in the Winter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Here, take these.”
An Jiuyue looked up at him in confusion. She did not understand why he wanted her to hold the stones.
However, she still reached out obediently and took the stones, holding one in each hand. As soon as the stones touched her hand, she understood.
“The stones are actually warm!”
They had been buried in the snow for so long, but they were still warm. Could these be warm jade?
“But this isn’t warm jade. These are Sun-Leaving Stones, right?”
Qian Jiyun nodded and answered, “Yes, these are Sun-Leaving Stones.”
The Sun-Leaving Stone was a type of alchemical material that contained a small amount of Scarlet Fla Iron Essence. It was the best material for refining artifacts.
Unfortunately, the Sun-Leaving Stone’s level was too high. No one on Wulong Mountain could extract the Scarlet Fla Iron Essence. Legend had it that there was soone who knew how to extract it, but that person was already dead.
Since then, no one needed the Sun-Leaving Stone, so few people stepped foot on Lianxue Mountain to dig for it.
“The Sun-Leaving Stone is so precious. How can it be found so easily from the ground now?” An Jiuyue was puzzled.
“There are no alchemists in Wulong Mountain who can extract the Scarlet Fla Iron Essence, so the Sun-Leaving Stones are considered useless and discarded casually. However, they can still provide so warmth for your body on Lianxue Mountain,” Qian Jiyun said.
An Jiuyue was silent.
As expected, no matter how valuable sothing was, it would beco worthless if no one could use it.
“These are good stuff. We should take more of it when we return. They’d also make great hand warrs in the winter,” she said.
Who knew? She could try extracting the Scarlet Fla Iron Essence in her space. Even if she were to fail now, she might be able to succeed soday, right?
“Okay, we’ll pick up so more on our way out.”
Qian Jiyun agreed with a smile. He recalled that she had not ntioned why she wanted to go to Lianxue Mountain.
“Jiuyue, why did you want to co to Lianxue Mountain? Are you looking for sothing?”
“You’re right.” An Jiuyue snapped her fingers and raised her eyebrows.
“But it’s not an item. I’m looking for a demonic beast called the Soul Fox. It’s also my natal demonic beast.”
At the ntion of her natal demonic beast, she seed sowhat unwilling, as if soone had drained her energy.
“Your natal demonic beast?”
Qian Jiyun led her forward and looked at her in confusion. He had never heard of anyone having a natal demonic beast.
“Is this sothing only the Demon Heart can have?” he asked.
“Yes, yes.” An Jiuyue nodded and gestured with one hand.
“The High Priest Demon Heart you saw previously also had a natal demonic beast. It’s the kind that appears alongside the Demon Heart’s successor.
However, her demonic beast had already died during a great battle to save her.
“This is also why she lost all her demonic energy. It can be considered retribution. She had personally dragged her demonic beast in front of her to take the blow for her.”
Perhaps the High Priest Demon Heart never expected the death of her natal demonic beast to lead her to her downfall.
“I have to find my demonic beast. If it’s gone, I’ll probably lose all my demonic energy like the High Priest Demon Heart and live off the Life Stone.”
However, that was not quite the case. Even without demonic energy, she still had Original Soul energy. She would not die, but there would be no place for her on Wulong Mountain..
