Ning Yue's heart stirred slightly, and he took out the pellet from his pocket, saying, "I found this thing among a pile of bones. I don't know how much it's worth, but can I exchange it with Uncle for a few life souls?"
Although the pellet was mysterious and hard to fathom, Ning Yue didn't really need it. However, life souls were different; their value was tangible and visible. Even if Ning Yue didn't use them himself, he could bring them back for his subordinates, which would be very beneficial for enhancing their strength.
To Ning Yue, all divine weapons and tools were merely external objects; his own martial arts were the true path. In the past, when he roamed the world, he never used weapons. Even in his battle with the Wolf God Guo Kan, he didn't use any divine weapons, relying only on his protective sword aura and the Ten Directions Annihilation Technique to match the former top warrior of the world.
Even if this thing wasn't very valuable and couldn't exchange for many life souls, it could still help to build a closer relationship with Li Han'gu, which would bring many benefits.
Li Han'gu glanced at the pellet, and his expression changed dramatically. He grabbed it and used his soul power to activate it, and the pellet instantly transformed into a four-foot-long sword. The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing and almost transparent.
Just by seeing Li Han'gu's move, Ning Yue knew that he had previously not understood how to use this thing, which is why he thought the pellet's power was ordinary and no different from ordinary knives and swords.
However, Ning Yue didn't regret it and instead clapped his hands in approval, saying, "So this is how it's used. I could activate it before, but it consumed too much soul power, and the weapon it produced was just ordinary."
Li Han'gu shook his head and sighed, saying, "You probably didn't know the origin of this thing, which is why you took it out to exchange with me. This thing is as precious as the Heavenly Wolf Bone, or even more so. If it falls into the hands of someone who truly understands its power, the sword pellet's strength is unimaginable."
Ning Yue had guessed that this thing might be a divine transmission, like the sword pellets mentioned in various legends and Daoist texts. But when Li Han'gu revealed its origin, he was still greatly shocked.
"Even if this thing is a sword pellet, I don't know how to use it, so it's not very useful to me. How many life souls is Uncle Li willing to exchange for it?"
Li Han'gu laughed and said, "The twenty or so life souls I have are not as valuable as your sword pellet. However... I really like this thing, so I'll exchange it with you."
As Li Han'gu spoke, Ning Yue was quite nervous, already enhancing the Ten Directions Annihilation Technique to the extreme to deal with any possible changes.
Li Han'gu took out a crystal-like object from his pocket and threw it to Ning Yue, saying, "This martial art is not a direct transmission of the Yanxing Sect. I obtained it by chance, and it can be used to exchange for the sword pellet. Additionally, these life souls are all yours..."
Li Han'gu casually waved his hand, and the twenty or so life souls he had just collected flew out. Ning Yue used the Ten Directions Annihilation Technique to guide them, and they all flew into his sleeve.
Although Ning Yue didn't need the twenty or so life souls Li Han'gu had, he was still very pleased to suddenly obtain so many. He sent these life souls into the divine crystal fragment and then carefully examined the crystal-like object Li Han'gu had given him.
Ning Yue only needed one glance to be shocked, as this thing was extremely familiar to him. This crystal-like object was not any gemstone from the Nine Heavens, but another fragment of the divine crystal. Before Ning Yue could react, the two fragments in his hand generated a strong attraction, and even he couldn't stop them from merging quietly in his sleeve.
Li Han'gu had no idea how valuable the divine crystal fragment he had given was. In fact, not even the ten great witch spirits of the Nine Heavens knew the use of the divine crystal fragments. Only someone like Ning Yue, who had once ascended to the heavens and been enshrined as a god, and had stayed in a top divine domain like Yingzhou, could understand what the divine crystal fragments were, what they could do, and how to use them!
The two divine crystal fragments merged, creating a wondrous sensation. Ning Yue took the opportunity to activate the Ten Directions Annihilation Technique, strengthening his control over the merged divine crystal. The quality of the divine crystal fragments was unimaginably high. Without such an opportunity, even if Ning Yue's strength had recovered to his original level, it would be difficult for him to further refine the divine crystal fragments.
In the next moment, Ning Yue felt as if he had entered a grand temple. This temple was vast and magnificent, though it was damaged and incomplete, its original grandeur was still evident.
The temple floated in the void. Ning Yue, using a wondrous sensation, looked down and saw nine floating continents, each with an area equivalent to the total land and sea area of Earth, and even larger.
These nine continents also floated in the void, orbiting the temple on a wondrous path.
Ning Yue thought for a moment and realized that the divine crystal fragment he had obtained from Luo Xuan was deeply connected to the Nine Heavens, perhaps even belonging to the deity who created the Nine Heavens. That's why he was sent to one of the floating continents in the Nine Heavens.
When he obtained another divine crystal fragment and learned more secrets, he could see the true face of the Nine Heavens.
Ning Yue's spirit slightly contracted, and the grand, damaged temple disappeared from his sight. He returned to Li Han'gu, who was sitting cross-legged, still studying the sword pellet.
Ning Yue smiled and suddenly said, "Where did Uncle Li get this crystal? This thing looks extremely valuable. Uncle isn't afraid of being cheated?"
Li Han'gu put away the sword pellet, clearly satisfied with his play, and smiled, patting Ning Yue's shoulder, saying, "I've had this thing for a long time but couldn't figure out anything. I consulted a few experts, but they couldn't tell me anything. Exchanging it for the sword pellet is a good deal, not a loss. Instead, I gave all my life souls to you. If I want to earn some money for wine, I'll have to work harder."
Ning Yue laughed and didn't say anything more. He began to summon the captured Moon Demon Wolves and search for Bai Luoluo, intending to meet up with her.
Through various means, Ning Yue spent half a day figuring out the direction of the wolf pack and contacting the Moon Demon Wolves under Bai Luoluo's command.
He had Li Han'gu as a companion, and he didn't want this uncle to know many secrets, so he rarely captured more wolves on the way, attributing his control over the wolves to his sister Yan Jiu's innate talent, which fooled Li Han'gu.
Even though Li Han'gu was a powerful martial artist, Ning Yue was no weakling. As the wolf pack gradually converged, their search for Bai Luoluo became quite difficult. They almost found her several times, but the wolf pack always scattered them.
