Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Ye Dai and Bei Wen were a bit taken aback after hearing Young Master Shirong's words, but they did not question it. They had already healed a majority of their injuries that had been caused by the backlash of regressing in their cultivation in these past two days.

Looking at Young Master Shirong's condition, they could tell that it was the same with him and he even seemed to be in high spirits for some reason.

The three of them were interrupted by the servants while they were leaving as they asked them where they were going. Shirong simply told them that they were going for hunting and the servants quickly moved, letting them pass. If it was just hunting, then there was no reason for them to be worried.

The three of them rushed to the exit of the city before flying from there.

"Why the sudden desire to hunt, Young master?" Bei Wen asked, feeling curious.

"I just have a few things that I needed to test out and the beasts would serve as the perfect subjects," Shirong answered.

They two didn't know what to think of this and simply continued flying onward. Soon the three of them reached the Millennium forest and started looking for beasts. This was a different part of the millennium forest and was in the opposite direction from the forbidden area.

After their previous experience, they definitely did not want to go to that place again.

It didn't take them long to find beasts either, as all it took was a sweep of Shirong's spirit sense. The beast they had found was a common fierce beast called as the long limbed lizard. As its name said, it had long limbs and that was all there was to it.

The beast was at the seventh stage of the body tempering realm and was quite easy for any of them to kill, which was why Ye Dai was a bit confused. He was about to speak, but then saw Young Master Shirong withdraw the green crystal spear from his spatial storage ring.

The beast had still not noticed the three of them as they were flying in the sky and was quickly killed without a noise. The spear pierced through its body swiftly ending its life.

Shirong furrowed his brows but then saw the body of the best rapidly drying.

"Young Master... this?" Bei Wen questioned with shock.

But Shirong did not answer and simply pulled out the spear from the body of the beast.

"Hmm, as I thought. Only the spirit beasts are worth hunting." Shirong muttered to himself.

He then found the next closest spirit beast and flew towards it, with Ye Dai and Bei Wen filling behind him.

The beast he found this time was called a purple furred coyote. It was an early stage qi refining realm beast and was similarly killed in a swift manner. The spear pierced the chest of the beast and rapidly started sucking on the spirit qi and vital energy from the beast.

Ten seconds later only a dried out husk of the beast was now left behind.

"Hmm, Yes this is it," Shirong said as he absorbed the spirit qi the spear gave him.

The quantity this time was much smaller than when he killed the drunk man, about four drops of liquid spirit qi. But Shirong did not mind it, as he had kind of expected it.

'There is quite a difference in the spirit qi obtained from beasts and cultivators.' Shirong thought to himself.

The two followers Bei Wen and Ye Dai were left dumbstruck. They had no idea what was happening and why was the corpse of the beast all dried out now.

"Young Master Shirong, that spear... what is it doing?" Ye Dai asked, unable to hold back anymore.

"The spear can absorb the spirit qi from the beasts and give it to me," Shirong answered simply.

"What!" Both Ye Dai and Bei Wen exclaimed.

They could guess what this entailed and knew that the value of the green crystal spear was elevated even more. They had never heard of any spirit weapon that could do the same, even if it was a pseudo immortal too.

"I want you to go around and capture spirit beasts for me to kill," Shirong ordered.

"As you wish, young master." The two of them replied together before flying away to do the task that was just given to them.

"Let's see how much you can give me today..." Shirong muttered and then began to hunt more beasts on his own.

About thirty minutes later, Ye Dai and Bei wen had captured about ten spirit beasts and total and brought them to Young Master Shirong. Shirong himself had hunted about seven of them on his own and was clearly happy with his gains.

~Shing~

~Slick~

The grows and cries of the beasts could be heard melding together as they saw their companions being killed one by one. The beasts were loud at first but then seeing what was happening to the beasts that were being killed along with the pressure that excluded from the three men, made them silent in fear.

Soon Shirong was done killing all the beasts and draining them of the spirit qi.

"Ahaha! Two hundred... an entire two hundred drops of spirit qi!" Shirong laughed out loud.

Ye Dai and Bei Wen were shocked upon hearing this. They had not expected that the gains of their Young Master would be so good. This was much more than a peak grade spirit stone, and that too at a fraction of its cost.

After all, peak grade spirit stones were quite rare, but the spirit beasts were countless. The cost could not even be compared.

'Seems like a pseudo immortal weapon like this green crystal spear has many more mysteries than we through.' Ye Dai through to himself.

Shirong closed his eyes for a couple of minutes as he focused on absorbing all the spirit qi that he had been given.

'Hehehe, this time should be right!' Lin Mu thought to himself.
