Chapter 3169: The Best Grinder
Inside the box were twenty Great Dao crystals neatly arranged.
One can never have too many Great Dao crystals. The more the better.
Counting these twenty Great Dao crystals, Lin Moyu now had 150 in hand, enough to guarantee he could cultivate at 100 times speed for 150 years.
For other realms it's hard to say, but at least from third-level to fourth-level Dao Venerable, Lin Moyu would only need 3,600 years.
Compared to other Dao Venerables who took several thousand or tens of thousands of years to cultivate, Lin Moyu's cultivation speed was simply godlike.
The eighth box and ninth box were opened in turn, resulting in two more Dao fragments.
Now Lin Moyu had a thousand Purple Lightning Dao fragments in hand.
Ten had been refined, and all were from the same hand.
"I really don't know how many Dao fragments that person refined," Lin Moyu couldn't help but grumble in his heart.
If only these Dao fragments could be exchanged for Great Dao crystals, that would be so much better.
After all, Great Dao crystals were tangibly useful. Whether Dao fragments would be useful in the future was unknown. At least they were useless now.
Lin Moyu steeled his heart and threw ten Dao fragments into Skeleton Hell.
"Grind them to powder!"
His mind moved. He didn't let the hell fiends eat them, but had them use their teeth to grind the Dao fragments into powder.
Even Lin Moyu felt this request of his was bizarre.
But if it worked, he would obtain a large amount of Great Dao crystals.
At least he wouldn't have to worry about future cultivation.
Regardless of whether Skeleton Hell could successfully grind them to powder, Lin Moyu had already opened the tenth box.
Fortunately, the tenth box wasn't Dao fragments again. It was another twenty Great Dao crystals.
The total number of Great Dao crystals reached 170.
Then the eleventh box, another twenty Great Dao crystals.
Looking at the last box, Lin Moyu muttered, "Last one, at least let it be Great Dao crystals."
Actually, what Lin Moyu wanted most was still that strange jade from before, the jade that could revive the Thousand Stars Dao.
Unfortunately, such jade was extremely rare.
He had asked Lord Wentian. This kind of jade was called Great Dao Essence Jade, a very rare item.
Even in that era back then, Great Dao Essence Jade was very rarely seen. Even if there was any, it was basically used up. Those that could be preserved were even fewer.
Being able to obtain one was already an incredible stroke of luck.
For Great Dao realm beings, Great Dao Essence Jade could directly increase cultivation without any side effects. Great Dao realm beings would use it directly without hesitation.
At that level, one's own cultivation strength was absolutely the top priority, indisputably.
But Great Dao Essence Jade had no effect on people below Great Dao realm. It couldn't be absorbed or utilized.
Besides this, it had another use - repairing damaged Daos.
Great Dao Essence Jade contained the Dao's origin power and could quickly restore damaged Daos.
But it had no use for already shattered Daos.
The Thousand Stars Dao was severely damaged but hadn't shattered. Using Great Dao Essence Jade to repair it was very suitable.
Although the Thousand Stars Dao still couldn't be converted into any combat power, Lin Moyu had high hopes for it.
He believed that one day in the future, the Thousand Stars Dao must be able to bring him extremely strong power.
As the talisman fell, the twelfth box also opened in response.
There was no Great Dao Essence Jade inside, only twenty Great Dao crystals.
The Great Dao crystals in Lin Moyu's hand reached 190, enough to maintain 100 times cultivation speed for 190 years.
Great Dao Essence Jade was still too rare. Being able to get one before was already very fortunate. Lin Moyu didn't have extravagant hopes.
Putting away the boxes, he turned his attention to Skeleton Hell.
The hell fiends were still gnawing on the Dao fragments, one bite after another. Hell fiends truly deserved the title of eating anything. Even refined Dao fragments could be gnawed on.
Many marks had been ground onto the Dao fragments, with many scratches appearing.
At the same time, a large amount of powder had been ground off.
The hell fiends completely followed Lin Moyu's orders and didn't touch this powder. They had truly become the best grinders.
Lin Moyu collected the Dao powder. The powder was still powder and hadn't turned into Great Dao crystals.
"Is something still missing!"
Lin Moyu pondered in his heart. Lord Wentian certainly wouldn't deceive him. There must be some problem somewhere, something missing.
This problem was too high-level. Lin Moyu only thought for a while before giving up directly. With his current realm of understanding, it was impossible to figure this out.
He summoned the Lightning Lich and handed the ground powder to it. "Can you eat this?"
The Lightning Lich looked at it in confusion for a while, then shook its head, indicating it couldn't eat it.
Lin Moyu had no choice but to find a box to put the powder in, then took back all the Dao fragments.
The powder was useless, so there was no need to continue the hell fiends' grinding work.
With the mystery boxes opened, Lin Moyu was free again. He came to the top of the palace, set up a tea table, and directly cultivated and drank tea on top of the palace while enjoying the scenery.
From here, one could see the entire Nine Tails City and also other mountain peaks.
Exquisite palaces stood on each mountain peak. One could see many Celestial Fox clan members coming and going in the palaces.
Looking at Nine Tails City, it was even more bustling with people coming and going.
Nine Tails City was incredibly huge. Even the capitals of the other nine royal clans combined couldn't compare to Nine Tails City.
It was precisely because of this that Nine Tails City was called the first city of the Origin Continent.
This city was enough for Little Mist and the others to play for a while. There was no need to worry about them for now. Let them relax for a while.
One must both cultivate and relax. In the world of rules, Lin Moyu brought out purple lightning to let them enjoy lightning strikes. The three's cultivation increased rapidly.
Now temporarily stopping cultivation to play for a few days, then they would have to suffer.
Removing the Dao poison from their souls wouldn't be pleasant.
Thinking of this, Lin Moyu showed a slight smile. He was somewhat curious how the three would react.
In Lin Moyu's soul world, the fifty-fifth dao pattern had already condensed halfway.
At any time, even during the most intense battles, condensing dao patterns had never stopped. At the same time, research and study of formations also hadn't stopped.
When multitasking became a habit, Lin Moyu no longer needed to divide his attention. Whatever he did wouldn't be affected.
Enjoying the scenery, the Sun Origin gradually disappeared, its light beginning to dim.
This also meant that the time for the Moon Origin's rule was about to come.
The colors of the earth gradually darkened. Lin Moyu suddenly saw a sword standing between heaven and earth among the distant mountains.
The sword was taller than the mountain peaks, reaching into the clouds, disappearing into the mist.
Earlier when the Sun Origin covered the forests, Lin Moyu hadn't noticed it. Only now did he see it.
"Seventy-two Swords!"
Lin Moyu softly recited, his mind instinctively searching for information.
The Seventy-two Swords were distributed throughout the Origin Continent. Each of the four continents had eighteen swords. This sword in the Celestial Fox clan's territory was called the Fox Tail Sword, one of the Seventy-two Swords.
The Seventy-two Swords weren't evenly distributed. The distance between each sword varied, seemingly without pattern.
Some powerhouses had investigated before, finally concluding that the Seventy-two Swords formed an extremely special formation.
The Origin Continent once had nine regions. Later the nine regions shattered, and the Divine Region Cauldron that suppressed the earth veins also disappeared with them.
Without the Divine Region Cauldron, the Origin Continent's earth veins became unstable. Later some powerhouses took action, descending the Seventy-two Swords, distributing them throughout the four continents to stabilize the earth veins.
Although the earth veins were stabilized, the Seventy-two Swords weren't as good as the Divine Region Cauldron and couldn't completely stabilize them.
In places without Origin Spirit Veins, the terrain of the Origin Continent would still undergo drastic changes.
