329 A Stranger Passing By (3)
Although the corrosive power of the water continued, it was a good thing that it was a slow erosion instead of a violent attack. This allowed Jiang Ming to maintain the power of the indestructible origin light to repair his divine soul at all times. Therefore, it was not too painful.
“Hmm? The deeper we go, the more Soul Jade there seems to be!”
Jiang Ming looked down. The frequency of the golden light appearing seemed to be higher, and he immediately continued to sink without hesitation.
Suddenly, a violent corrosive force attacked, causing Jiang Ming’s divine soul to feel as if it was being stabbed by needles.
“It’s here!”
Jiang Ming did not panic at all. Instead, he was delighted. He quickly checked his surroundings and circulated the spiritual energy in his body, ready to attack at any time.
Wherever the Soul Jade was, the power contained in the water would increase exponentially. This was a great misfortune for other cultivators. However, for Jiang Ming, it was a sign that he had found the Soul Jade.
A magical wave flashed past Jiang Ming like lightning.
However, Jiang Ming was already prepared. His figure shot out, and he grabbed something.
Bang!
Something warm and smooth fell into his hand. Jiang Ming quickly looked down. Threads of golden light flowed out from between his fingers. There was a small piece of jade in his palm. It was extraordinary.
“Is this Soul Jade?” Jiang Ming sensed the extremely pure energy in it. The golden light flowed over his body, and he felt more vigorous.
Jiang Ming put it into his storage ring without hesitation. Then, his body continued to sink, looking for the area with the densest pieces of Soul Jade.
He did not know when he would come here again. Thus, he naturally wanted to make a fortune.
Soon, Jiang Ming sank to a depth of more than a hundred feet. However, he still did not touch the bottom of the river. Regardless, the number of pieces of Soul Jade here had greatly increased. He could grab two or three pieces of Soul Jade every few minutes.
However, Jiang Ming continued to sink.
Finally, when Jiang Ming sank to about five hundred feet, he finally stepped on a layer of fine sand.
At the bottom of the river, Soul Jade could be seen everywhere. It was like a meteor shower.
In just a moment, Jiang Ming had obtained more than ten pieces of Soul Jade at the bottom of the river.
“However, this river is too strange.” Jiang Ming’s eyelids twitched. The Soul Suppressing River was ridiculous. It was so deep. However, where did it come from, and where did it lead to? Why had no one ever found out?
A river of such a scale had suddenly and mysteriously appeared in the Black Rock Ruins. It was ridiculous.
“This sand doesn’t seem to be normal!” Jiang Ming bent and grabbed a handful of fine sand. He used the light of his spiritual energy to look at it carefully.
There seemed to be nothing at the bottom of the river except for these grains of sand. Each grain was the same size and was round and crystalline. It was unknown what material this sand was made of.
“Forget it! I’ll take it away first.” Jiang Ming did not hesitate. He did not want to act like a stranger passing by. He wanted a piece of everything. He could not let go of anything.
While he was preparing to grab the Soul Jade, he took out a total of ten storage rings and began to shovel the fine sand at the bottom of the river into them.
As for the river water, Jiang Ming tried to collect it as well. However, after the river water was poured into the storage ring, it would turn into ordinary water.
“Just as the information stated, the water of the Soul Suppressing River cannot leave the river,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself. The mystery of this river lay in itself, not the water.
Soon, Jiang Ming filled up ten storage rings and captured hundreds of pieces of Soul Jade.
“It should be about time.”
According to ancient records, pieces of Soul Jade had a limited effect on strengthening one’s soul sea. Jiang Ming’s hundred pieces of Soul Jade were enough for dozens of cultivators to use.
“It’s time to leave!”
Jiang Ming was satisfied. These pieces of Soul Jade were rare treasures that could be exchanged for many rare cultivation techniques or spirit herbs in the outside world.
“However, it is still not enough. Let’s get some more.”
Finally, after collecting more than three hundred pieces of Soul Jade, he finally stopped.
“This time, no matter what, it should be enough!”
Jiang Ming muttered. However, just as he was about to leave the river, his gaze suddenly focused.
“What the hell is that?”
Ahead of him, in the darkness, there were strands of colorful light flowing, and the corrosive power in the river seemed to have become much more intense.
