Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 359 - 338: Spiritual Energy Thief

Putting the storage pouch in front of him, Wang Wu’s Level 15 Spirit Essence, Danger Perception, along with the four knuckleheads, were all present.

But as expected, the appraisal information they provided for this storage pouch was zero. Without dismantling it, there was no information available for reference.

However, what Wang Wu wanted was to claim this storage pouch as his own, because the storage space inside was definitely vast.

"Grandpa Tree’s information library issued a warning! Greed for small gains will lead to big losses, do not mislead yourself."

"Xiong Pi Clan’s information library issued a warning, indeed, human hearts are sinister, demon hearts are also sinister, your great-grandmother wouldn’t deceive you."

"Peacock Clan’s information library issued a warning, I’m just joining in for the excitement."

"The attribute bar issued a warning, never forget your original intention, and you will achieve your goal. Be vigilant, vigilant, vigilant!"

——

Damn!

Alright, Wang Wu revised his thoughts. Even if there was a one in a billion chance that this storage pouch could be traced and discovered, he could not keep it.

The way of survival lies in consistency.

Wang Wu learned, he cannot be complacent, absolutely cannot be complacent.

Then it became simple; dismantle it.

Wang Wu directly released the Pale Fire, carefully touching a corner, but the astonishing scene left him dumbfounded. From Liu Zongbai’s storage pouch emerged a similar mass of Pale Fire, accompanied by a gust of Evil Wind, and finally, a strike of Yang Thunder fell.

How fierce!

Wang Wu endured the strike of Yang Thunder, which knocked out 10,000 points of health even with his instant conjuration of the 100-Layered Ice and Fire Shield, but it felt refreshing, because just that strike increased his Yang Thunder Resistance by 1 point.

As for the mass of Pale Fire, it was instantly absorbed and engulfed by him, truly too little.

Including that sliver of Evil Wind, Wang Wu didn’t give a damn!

But this was exclusive to Wang Wu.

Try it with someone else attempting to dismantle this storage pouch, they would genuinely lose their life.

And after disarming the trap, Wang Wu reached out again, and the storage pouch opened by itself.

Well, it seems the outside world has become so formidable, using Yang Thunder, Yin Fire, and Evil Wind as a safe, tsk tsk tsk, he suddenly had a bold idea...

Also, this ratio, one thunder, two fires, three winds, will need to study it well when time permits, these three forces woven together form a stable state...

However, for now, wow!

At this moment Wang Wu’s heart was truly overjoyed, his eyes twinkled with little stars, he struck it rich, struck it rich, struck a great fortune!

No, he needed to calm down, too excited, he felt like a penniless wanderer suddenly acquiring a large mansion, two luxurious sports cars, plus three girlfriends, directly overwhelmed by the fortune dropped from heaven.

After taking three deep breaths, Wang Wu managed to stabilize his state of mind, with a sincere heart, he reached in again, what a huge space, one was enough to be equivalent to ten.

Well, starting with what he recognized first.

Refined Profound Iron, taking up the most space as well as being the most abundant.

Occupying a full two-thirds, no way, why is there so much Profound Iron?

Wang Wu was astonished, he couldn’t fathom, the guys coming from the outside world to trial in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison, actually brought so much Profound Iron...

"Grandpa Tree’s information library suggests this could be the true reason Spirit Essence in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison decreases each year."

"These foreign experimenters’ true purpose is to steal the abundant Spiritual Qi resources from the Great Wilderness Sin Prison, which is common and almost overflowing."

"But this inversely proves that the outside world’s Spiritual Qi resources are either concentrated in the top-tier Cultivation Sects and Families, or there’s not much in total."

A few lines of information passed by, alright, everyone was eager to answer first.

But this answer could very well be the most accurate.

"Damn, these guys, truly, truly thieves!"

Wang Wu sighed endlessly, because ordinarily, as long as there are no outsiders, Spirit Essence in the Great Wilderness is constant. A First-Grade Great Demon would either sacrifice themselves or be caught and drained, converting all their cultivation into Spirit Essence, forming a cycle that is not perfect, but certainly sustainable for a long time.

Now it’s broken by outsiders.

Could it be that the outside world has already entered the End of the Dharma Era of Spiritual Qi depletion?

Wang Wu was startled, it was hard not to think this way.

But the next moment, he discarded this thought, because in the storage pouch, he discovered a total of six hundred and thirty-seven mysterious little stones, some of them vibrantly colorful, extremely dazzling, and with his Level 15 Spirit Essence, one glance led to a sudden realization.

Because these are likely the legendary Spirit Stones.

Judging by their luster, by their Spiritual Qi storage, even the lowest grade gray Spirit Stone contains as much as ten thousand points of Spiritual Qi, with six hundred pieces, that equals six million points of Spiritual Qi.

The white Spirit Stones follow, containing a hundred thousand points of Spiritual Qi each, with twenty pieces in total.

All of these contain ordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The remaining four kinds: five pieces of cyan Spirit Stones, each storing 1 million points of Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi.

Five pieces of red Spirit Stones as well, storing Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

Five pieces of blue Spirit Stones, storing Ice Spiritual Qi.

The last type being golden Spirit Stones, storing Refined Gold Spiritual Qi.

Thus, Liu Zongbai alone was carrying about 25 million points of Spiritual Qi.

Alright, this placed in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison, it’s merely the profit of a five hundred-mile manor in one month.

These so-called foreign experimenters are truly Spiritual Energy Thieves!

Wang Wu felt somewhat conflicted; the outside world is probably even harder to survive in.

This jailbreak wave, I bet over eighty percent will regret it in a few days, especially those below Third Grade. Breaking out just makes you a sitting duck.

Only those above Third Grade might evade hunting and adapt over time.

But to think they could live as comfortably as in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison, that’s definitely impossible.

Sigh!

With a slight sigh, Wang Wu continued to search the source of his happiness.

This time he really found it, a gigantic Dragon Scale the size of a basketball court, but it’s not just some top-grade material; it’s a Cultivation Technique!

Yes, such a large Dragon Scale records in detail a cultivation technique called the Five Elements Heaven Repairing Technique.

The method to inspect it is to continuously infuse Spiritual Qi, requiring ten thousand points of Spiritual Qi per second to view, it’s simply insane!

After despising it for a while, Wang Wu suddenly realized, it’s likely not because the technique is too mysterious and must be recorded on a Dragon Scale, but this is clearly an online payment model.

It’s just like on Earth, when you buy a membership, do you think you own that TV show or song for life?

No!

No, it’s just a yearly membership, a monthly membership.

Now this cultivation technique is the same, pay up to view, don’t finish it, not my problem.

Damn it!

Wang Wu felt nauseous all of a sudden, but also incredibly lucky, he almost mastered the Five Elements Heaven Repairing Technique, so next, he’d at most skim through it casually.

This Dragon Scale better not have any ads, huh?

Throwing the Dragon Scale aside, Wang Wu finally found another source of joy, that is more knowledge carriers, but none as exaggerated as the Dragon Scale, because this time they were all Jade Scrolls, and he could even use the Level 15 Spirit Essence to examine them.

There were a lot of these Jade Scrolls, a full eighteen. Really, comparatively speaking, this is quite a lot.

Just that the content was relatively ordinary.

Among them, twelve were Liu Zongbai’s diaries; does any decent person keep a diary?

But these can be kept for future reference; the key is the remaining six Jade Scrolls, which are more valuable.

Among them, two are maps, incomplete and fragmented, probably need the diaries and chronicles to verify.

And two record pill formulas, Wang Wu skimmed through them, unfamiliar, but high-level because both pill formulas required Sixth Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill as a guide.

These can be studied later when there’s time.

As for the last two Jade Scrolls, they are bona fide cultivation techniques.

No, they should actually be called the Daoist Skill General Outline.

Inside are detailed, elaborate, comprehensive records of five systems of Daoist Divine Techniques, a total of about three thousand.

And this is just the first volume.

So, there are still middle and lower volumes?

"Keep it, study it slowly in the future."

Wang Wu’s gaze fell again on the next item, a small box, not large, no mechanisms, and inside lay precisely one hundred Divine Talismans.

And there were five more boxes like this.

Among them, three were empty, only three were full.

Without a doubt, the three empty boxes had been filled with Defense Type, Overlord Body type Divine Talismans, but unfortunately, Wang Wu had busted them with plain A-claw method.

Among the remaining four boxes, they actually contained three types of Divine Talismans.

Waking up the four tacticians and identifying them was actually easy.

"You obtained one hundred Forgetfulness Talismans; after use, people who have seen you will gradually forget your image over time, forget your existence. This talisman is highly effective against those weaker than you, and vice versa."

"You obtained one hundred Concealment Talismans; after use, you will gain an active invisibility effect, which can be referenced to the Level 18 passive invisibility effect. However, note to avoid enemy vision locks, perception locks during use, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"You obtained two hundred Dragon Tiger Essence and Spirit Talismans; after use, you will become vigorous and robust, suitable for nourishing, suitable for refining your Lifebound Flying Sword."

...

"Not bad, so Madam Lu was using the Forgetfulness Talisman, click, click, what’s this lady pretending to be so pure for, I thought she really had an extraordinary background, fairy descent, turns out using technology and cunning tricks!"

Wang Wu suddenly realized, disenchantment achieved, so the outside Cultivation Realm seems just like that.

Right then, he looked at the last pile, not Spirit Pills, nor Spirit Grass or Spirit Medicine, but a large number, no less than ten thousand, of Spirit Plant saplings.

Alright, this time he truly understood.

Spiritual Energy Thief confirmed.

Bringing so much Refined Profound Iron wasn’t enough, even brought so many Spirit Plant saplings, addicted to gathering Spiritual Qi.

Wang Wu thought, thank goodness the Snake Emperor and others broke out, otherwise being sneakily stolen by these Spiritual Energy Thieves every day, maybe in another ten thousand years, the Great Wilderness Sin Prison would become a spiritless End of the Dharma Era.

Without Spiritual Qi, everything would die, unable to maintain normal operation, it’s just a cold coffin.

"So, nothing to regret. Breaking out was the right choice."
