Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 644: Chapter 524 Picking Up an Opportunity_1

“`

At least, his guess about the cause of this Foundation Establishment True Person’s death probably wasn’t far from the mark.

Even if there were discrepancies, they likely weren’t significant.

After surmising the cultivation level that the skeleton had possessed when alive, He Song casually waved his hand.

The storage bag lying next to the corpse immediately lifted into the air.

Subsequently, a large number of items fell out of the storage bag and appeared in front of the two of them.

Over a hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Numerous miscellaneous items.

And the giant corpse of a Foundation Establishment demonic beast.

As these items emerged before them, An Ning, who had just noticed the presence of a corpse, was now staring with wide eyes.

When huge piles of spirit stones so blatantly appeared before her.

When the giant corpse of a Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast suddenly fell out of the storage bag.

An intense visual shock made her heart tremble all at once.

However, upon seeing He Song’s figure at her side, the astonishment in An Ning’s eyes receded.

In its place was a hint of realization.

“So this is what true opportunity looks like.”

“The last time I came here in person, I only regarded the remaining spirit mines that had not been taken by others as a chance.”

“Looking back, I realize how narrow my vision was.”

“I never expected that beyond this sealed mining tunnel, such a vast cavern would exist.”

“Within the cavern, a Foundation Establishment Master had even perished here.”

“The entire possessions of a Foundation Establishment True Person must be extremely valuable.”

“The corpse of a Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast is also highly prized.”

“With these two opportunities present, those untouched spirit mines are merely trifles.”

“In fact, they hardly qualify as trifles.”

“So this is what real opportunity looks like.”

As she looked at the over hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, numerous miscellaneous items, and the corpse of a Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast that He Song had dumped out, An Ning felt a wave of emotions washing over her.

But even after seeing these items, she didn’t develop any covetous thoughts.

She just marveled to herself about how she had been short-sighted before, focusing only on minor gains while overlooking the greatest opportunity here.

If not for He Song, she probably wouldn’t have found this place no matter how many more times she came, let alone witness the opportunity before her.

In such a situation, An Ning naturally wouldn’t harbor any designs on these items.

Meanwhile, He Song carefully examined the corpse of the Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast before casually putting it into the storage bag.

The Cultivation World was rife with all sorts of demonic beasts.

He Song didn’t recognize this beast, and thus couldn’t determine its value.

But now that he had seen it, He Song naturally wouldn’t discard it.

The body of a Foundation Establishment demonic beast could still be sold for a substantial amount of spirit stones.

Besides the demonic beast’s corpse, He Song also collected the spirit stones from the ground.

But he only briefly examined the miscellaneous items on the ground before losing interest.

He only handed An Ning a few jade slips from among the miscellaneous items.

Those jade slips contained records of Foundation Establishment Secret Techniques, which held some value for An Ning.

For He Song, however, they were worthless.

Giving them away didn’t matter to him.

After handing the jade slips to An Ning, He Song quickly turned and began to explore other parts of the cavern.

After searching around inside the cavern,

He Song found more traces of battle.

There were scorched ashes from flames, broken Artifacts, torn spirit amulets, and numerous spread out jade bottles.

There were also torn demon beast furs and so on.

The appearance of these items solidified He Song’s speculation that the skeleton had certainly experienced a great battle before its demise.

Besides that, this vast cavern seemed to be the lair of the Foundation Establishment demonic beast.

He Song also found the entrance to the lair on another side.

Unfortunately, the lair’s entrance led downwards, eventually plunging into an underground river.

Seeing this, He Song chose not to continue exploring further.

At the same time, he speculated as to why the Foundation Establishment Master had not left through this lair entrance.

Perhaps there were other dangers in the underground river, or maybe the injuries were too severe and there was no strength left for a long journey out through the underground river.

After such speculations flashed through his mind, He Song was no longer puzzled.

After carefully combing through the cavern once more, He Song quickly left the place with An Ning.

Although within the vast lair of the Foundation Establishment demonic beast, He Song only gained the beast’s corpse and the possessions of a Foundation Establishment True Person,

it was still an unexpected boon for him.

These items, for He Song who never had much greed for the fortunes of this place to begin with, were simply a windfall.

The gain of at least a hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones made his mood notably better.

However, it was regrettable that

when He Song once again explored other mining tunnels blocked by boulders, he found no further rewards.

The tunnels blocked by rock and debris that He Song cleared led, at most, to only some Golden Spirit Sand being discovered.

Beyond that, not the slightest opportunity could be found.

Regarding this, He Song was calm.

He had come here primarily to find a place for secluded cultivation.

As for these external objects, he didn’t place much importance on them.

But An Ning, who was constantly by his side, felt a bit impatient upon seeing such results.
