One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Seeing him unharmed, she finally let out a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

"What are you doing standing guard here?" Su Heng was somewhat surprised.

"I’ve found something incredible," Qin Shunying beckoned Su Heng over, then turned around, "Follow me."

Qin Shunying, with her star-like eyes and heroic bearing, had an impeccable figure. Even clad in armor, the curve of her long legs, slender waist, and full hips was unmistakable. Su Heng followed behind his older martial sister, her mysterious demeanor piquing his curiosity, causing him to temporarily set aside the Golden Crow Remains.

Passing through a narrow corridor, they arrived at a stone hall deep inside.

"Look!" Qin Shunying stepped aside, pointing to the golden lotus platform in the center of the pond.

"What is this!?" Su Heng was also startled, "Could it be offspring of the Golden Crow? This is incredible. A legendary-level mythical creature, once it matures, could easily be above Heavenly Deceit, and even excel among them."

"However..." Su Heng’s excitement didn’t last long as he sensed something unusual about the divine egg.

"Premature, plus tainted by the breath of demons, that’s why it’s like this," lamented Qin Shunying, "But as a divine beast, it can’t be judged by common standards. The Golden Crow sealed it here, possibly leaving behind a sliver of hope..."

"Hmm!" Su Heng nodded, "Makes sense."

"Let’s leave it here for now, don’t mess with it," said Su Heng, "Once I’ve merged with the heart of the Golden Crow, then we’ll take it with us. After we get back, we’ll study it thoroughly to see if there’s a chance to revive its vitality."

"That sounds good!" Qin Shunying nodded in agreement.

"Didn’t you say you needed the True Blood of the Golden Crow to help your master Ling Weizi heal?" Su Heng, leading the way, continued, "I battled with the Golden Crow just now and there is still some uncontaminated True Blood on it. We should be able to collect it for your master’s healing."

"Really?" A rare smile of delight appeared on Qin Shunying’s face.

But she soon pursed her lips seriously and said, "Thank you. I don’t know how I can repay you, but consider this a favor I owe you."

"No need. If you hadn’t provided the information, it would not have been easy for me to come here," Su Heng chuckled. He was not a greedy person, nor did he intend to take advantage of Qin Shunying.

"Thank you," repeated Qin Shunying.

"Hmm," Su Heng nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "What’s the story with Ling Weizi’s injury? Is it serious?"

Although Ling Weizi could be somewhat disrespectful due to her age, she was a pretty decent person.

Su Heng had a fairly good impression of her.

The smile on Qin Shunying’s face stiffened and her brows furrowed slightly, her entire demeanor turning somewhat gloomy, "The Qingzhou King practiced a Secret Technique that required seven types of precious blood. My master’s constitution is special; she was also on his list. After much of her essence blood was drawn, her cultivation suffered, and she has yet to recover."

"..."

"Does the Fiery Sun Sect have no one else? How can you let others bully you like this?" Su Heng frowned, suddenly showing some displeasure.

"I..."

Qin Shunying lowered her head, frustration in her voice, "At that time, some of the Supreme Elders in my sect were ready to confront the Qingzhou King and were prepared for a battle. But then the Skull Plain underwent a change, and on top of that, an ancestor of our sect encountered a mishap in the heavens of eternal life."

"I didn’t keep a good eye out, and my master sneaked out of the sect. After that, the whole affair just fizzled out," Qin Shunying clenched her fists, her expression forlorn, almost like a child who had erred, followed by another sigh.

"Give them five cities today, they’ll take ten tomorrow; how can one sleep peacefully at night like this," Su Heng’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he shook his head, "If he’s testing us, we can’t let him have his way. A fight has to be won decisively to prevent endless challenges."

Su Heng felt that Ling Weizi was too meek.

```

He didn’t say much more, after all, his circumstances were different and he couldn’t put himself in their shoes.

"What realm has the King of Mysteries reached?" Su Heng inquired, able to push an immortal sect to such a dire situation and swallow such a great humiliation, he indeed had some ideas. However, as the King of Mysteries was a powerhouse from outside the Jiang E region, Su Heng hadn’t heard much about his reputation.

As he expected, Qin Shunying answered earnestly, "Every Sky King in the empire exists above Heavenly Deceit."

"The King of Mysteries, naturally, is no exception."

"Does the Fiery Sun Sect have any countermeasures?" Su Heng asked.

In fact, his question was a bit over the line, touching on some of the Fiery Sun Sect’s secrets.

But Qin Shunying still answered, "The Fiery Sun Sect has a long heritage, it has indeed given birth to beings above Heavenly Deceit. Like the one who captured the meteorite and created the Bright Sun Divine Skill. It’s just that he went too far in the Immortal Heavens, and it’s not easy for him to return..."

"And as a powerhouse of the current era, coupled with the backing of the court, that’s why the King of Mysteries can act so unrestrainedly," Qin Shunying said. "There might be other considerations involved, which are beyond my understanding."

"Worthy of an immortal sect, indeed deeply founded," Su Heng calmly said. Your next read is at empire

But for some reason, Qin Shunying heard a bit of sarcasm in his words.

The two continued to move forward.

Leaving the cave, they came to the side of the Golden Crow Remains.

From a distance, the Golden Crow looked like a black sun hanging in mid-air. Now, up close, it felt even more exaggerated. The feathers on the Golden Crow’s body had almost completely fallen off, and its flesh was torn and incomplete. Only the skeleton remained largely intact.

Despite this, the aura emanating from the remains was still terrifying.

Like a volcano melting the ground, creating a depression that turned the sandy sea of the secret realm into hot molten lava, emitting trails of black smoke that were incredibly choking. And the Golden Crow, with wings spanning more than two hundred meters, lay in this lake of black-and-red lava, radiating a fierce aura.

The high temperature coming from the Golden Crow could melt soil and rocks, warp the air, and even Qin Shunying felt a clear discomfort as he approached.

But Su Heng was undeterred, having already adapted in the previous battle.

His eyes emitted faint beams of light, employing Gravity Sense to extract some of the remaining True Blood from the Golden Crow’s body. He condensed it in the air and pushed it towards Qin Shunying. The latter swallowed hard, quickly took out bottles and jars, and collected the golden True Blood into them.

After securing them close to his body, Qin Shunying finally let out a sigh of relief.

The gloomy expression disappeared.

On his fair and delicate cheeks, he couldn’t help but reveal a touch of a smile.

In front of him, Su Heng jumped forward and landed on the Golden Crow. He employed the Bright Sun Divine Skill, absorbing the incomplete flesh and blood of the Golden Crow into his body as if he were treasure hunting. The contamination brought by the demon gods had driven even divine beasts like the Golden Crow to a desperate situation, terrifyingly formidable.

But Su Heng’s constitution seemed to be even more remarkable, with no signs of the negative effects it brought.

As the flesh and blood vanished,

A moment later, a huge heart appeared in front of Su Heng.

The Golden Crow, with wings spanning more than two hundred meters, had a gigantic heart, about the same size as an intact rhinoceros.

Its exterior was pitch black, showing that the demon god’s contamination had seeped into the vital organs, beyond saving. But as Su Heng allowed his Gravity Sense to seep into it, he found that a part of the ventricle was still intact, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However...

How to integrate such a large heart into his body was a problem that made Su Heng somewhat perplexed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
