C1086 Find Them Some Trouble
Without the Soul Stone, any battle would be meaningless to Ye Bufan. Instead of wasting time and energy here, he might as well search another place. Perhaps he might find something.
Thinking of this, Ye Bufan no longer eavesdropped. He quietly stuck his head out and looked into the cave.
Sure enough, the cave was extremely spacious. There were only two cultivators fighting in the middle of the cave.
It was obvious that these two people did not have any rules. They were fighting with weapons in their armor. Give it to me, I'll give it to you. It did not look like a fight between cultivators, but like two street thugs fighting.
Looking at the fight between these two cultivators, Ye Bufan almost laughed out loud.
He felt that even if there were no traces of the Soul Stone here, he still had to teach these two fellows a lesson. These two fellows were really too shameful for cultivators. They didn't deserve to be called cultivators.
Even if it was a fight between ordinary people, it would still be more exciting than the two of them.
Thinking of this, Ye Bufan prepared to walk out and teach these two fellows a lesson.
But just as he lifted one of his legs, before he could even take a step out, he pulled it back.
No, that's not right. These two cultivators were indeed acting funny, but wasn't it too much of a coincidence? Were there really such funny cultivators?
Ye Bufan suddenly felt that something was not right.
He recalled the situation when he was in the state of Thought Transformation. At that time, he was deeply moved. Only by possessing a certain obsession, a firm conviction, and a persistent pursuit could the Thought Transformation succeed.
And could such a person be so funny?
Although there was no lack of Hong Wu's son among the cultivators who had his Thought Transformation broken, it was still an extremely rare exception.
He had already met Hong Wu on the way, so how could he meet another two exceptions in the cat-eared cave?
The more Ye Bufan thought about it, the more shocked he became.
If these two jokers were not really jokers, but pretended to be jokers to trick other cultivators, if he rushed forward to teach them a lesson, wouldn't he become a joker?
When he thought of this possibility, Ye Bufan immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
He didn't expect this possibility. He almost walked out of the room just now.
Ye Bufan rolled his eyes and came up with a plan. Since these two idiots pretended to be funny and attracted people here, they must be plotting something. There was no need to think too much about it. They must be plotting against the other cultivators.
If this guess was the truth, Ye Bufan couldn't be fooled. Not only would he not go out, he would also find a way to teach these two cultivators a lesson. Of course, it wouldn't be like what he had planned. He would go out and beat up these two idiots. Instead, he would bring back some trouble for these two sinister and cunning people.
Ye Bufan had already made up his mind. If his guess was correct, these two cultivators would pretend to be funny and attract other cultivators. Then, there wouldn't be any more Soul Stone in this cave.
Without the existence of the Soul Stone, Ye Bufan wouldn't have the interest to continue exploring.
However, in order to punish this pair of cultivators who almost fooled him, Ye Bufan wanted to give them some trouble, which would make them feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Ye Bufan quietly left.
Of course, before he left, he didn't forget to carve a mark on the stone wall outside the cave.
It was an arrowhead that pointed in the direction of the cave. On top of the arrowhead were two big words, 'Soul Stone'.
Along the way to the tunnel most likely for cultivators to pass by, Ye Bufan left behind an arrowhead that indicated the path. If they followed the direction of the arrowhead, they would eventually walk into the cave. Then they ran into the two cultivators who pretended to be funny, but in fact, they were setting up a trap.
Ye Bufan did not interact with the other cultivators. As long as he could hear the movement of another cultivator from afar, he would immediately dodge. However, he would leave the arrows in the tunnel that the cultivators might pass by.
In a short two hours, Ye Bufan had drawn hundreds of arrows. He was sure that more than ten cultivators had seen the arrows he drew.
As more and more arrows were drawn, he was getting closer and closer to the exit of the cat-eared cave. More and more cultivators would be able to see his arrows.
Even if one-tenth of these cultivators saw the arrowheads and followed the direction indicated, it would definitely cause huge trouble for the two idiots.
Perhaps the first person would be killed by the two cultivators who set the trap and take away the gold and silver materials. However, as more and more cultivators appeared, if the two cultivators didn't quickly escape... The outcome was bound to be very tragic.
Ye Bufan didn't feel guilty about this at all. Since they dared to set up a trap to deal with someone else... They had to have the resolve to let someone set a trap to deal with them. Whatever the reason was, the result would be the same. The law of Karma might not be the fundamental law of the world, but it was definitely a law that was widely applicable.
Seeing that the arrowhead had almost been drawn, Ye Bufan did not take any unnecessary action. Instead, he returned to the second level and continued his exploration.
If he missed out on the cave that might have the Soul Stone, Ye Bufan would not have a specific target. He could only follow the flow and explore wherever he went. He would never let go of any place that might contain resources along the way. He hoped that he could use quantity to make up for the quality.
In reality, this was the normal way for cultivators to explore the cat-eared cave. Just like how Ye Bufan had headed straight to the cave, it was very rare to see him there.
It turned out that the method most people used might not be the best way, but it was definitely the most effective way.
After another four hours of searching, there were already a lot of spiritual herbs in Ye Bufan's Sun Space.
Three red cloud flowers, one plum blossom in a stone, three stone blood vines, and two golden fruits.
These were Ye Bufan's harvests, they were all spiritual herbs. The Red Cloud Flower and the Stone Blood Vines could be used to refine the Blood Strengthening Pill for healing injuries and replenishing Qi and blood. The Plum in the Stone was a supplementary ingredient in the Spirit Condensation Pill. The Golden Fruit could be eaten directly. The effect of recovering one's physical strength was very obvious.
However, all of these things added up couldn't compare to the value of a single Soul Separating Grass.
Not to mention comparing it to a Soul Stone.
However, Ye Bufan did not have any disheartening thoughts. Originally, using this kind of method to search for materials depended on luck. It was considered not bad to be able to gain something, but every time, it had to be something good. That was too whimsical.
Another cave appeared next to him. Ye Bufan walked in and began to check the cracks between the rocks and the gravel, hoping to find something.
He really found something. On the wall of the cave, there was a crystal the size of a fingernail.
"What is this?" Ye Bufan walked over and prepared to take a closer look.
He looked at it for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Ye Bufan's expression changed from confusion to surprise. This fingernail-sized crystal was actually a Soul Stone.
This was the first time he had seen a Soul Stone in real life. His understanding of the Soul Stone in the past was completely based on the records in the Soul Refining Hand. There were only words and simple images that were slightly different from a real Soul Stone.
The difference was that the Soul Stone in the Soul Refining Hand Record was a complete Soul Stone. A complete Soul Stone that was separated from its production environment was generally similar to a thumb's length and thickness. It was in the shape of a shuttle. The surface was crystal clear, like a crystal.
However, the fingernail-sized Soul Stone that appeared in front of Ye Bufan was embedded in the stone wall. It was a raw stone that had yet to be mined. That was why Ye Bufan repeatedly confirmed that it was real.
This discovery made Ye Bufan very happy. If it was just a fingernail-sized Soul Stone, it would be fine, but if he dug deeper, he would be able to find even more Soul Stone.
If he discovered a Soul Stone mine, Ye Bufan simply did not dare to imagine how rich he would be.
As long as he took out a portion of the Soul Stone and gave it to a sect, that sect would be able to guarantee that he would become a transformation state cultivator!
However, before he started digging, the first thing Ye Bufan wanted to do was to see if there were other cultivators around. If there were people nearby, he would have to think of a strategy to deal with them.
After walking around the cave once more, Ye Bufan found that there was no movement around him. Obviously, there were no other cultivators around. This made him happy. He quickly started digging around the Soul Stone.
As the stones around the Soul Stone were dug out, the soil was dug out, and the entire scene was finally revealed.
This was a complete Soul Stone. It was the size of a thumb, and it was crystal clear. It was emitting a faint green light, and it looked very cute.
"A good grade Soul Stone, it's actually a good grade Soul Stone!" Happiness came too suddenly. Ye Bufan looked at the green Soul Stone in his hand. He felt that the time he would advance to the sensing stage was not far away in the future.
There were different grades of Soul Stone. After all, the Soul Stone was formed by the powerful divine soul of a cultivator or mutant beast. Each divine soul was unique, and the strength of each divine soul was different. In addition to the environment that formed the Soul Stone, the terrain changed after forming the Soul Stone. More than a dozen factors were affected by the formation of the Soul Stone. In the end, there were good and bad things between the Soul Stone and the Soul Stone. Some were of average quality, while others were of better quality.0
The classification of Soul Stone was very clear. One glance was enough to tell the difference. This was because all kinds of different grades of Soul Stone had different colors.
A colorless, transparent, crystal-like Soul Stone was an ordinary Soul Stone. Above that was a green quality Soul Stone.
Above it were high-grade, precious, and supreme grade Soul Stone. They corresponded to blue, purple, and orange, and above the supreme-grade Soul Stone were even more precious soul crystals!
The Soul Refining Hand's description of the soul crystals was unclear. It only said that when a cultivator saw a soul crystal with their own eyes, they would naturally understand what a soul crystal was.
Therefore, to Ye Bufan, who had never seen a Soul Stone before, soul crystals and the like, he really didn't know what kind of awesome thing they were.
Ye Bufan wasn't satisfied with digging out a complete Soul Stone. Who didn't want to get a Soul Stone mine? Unfortunately, even though he dug deeper, he dug out a three foot wide pit. Besides the Soul Stone, he didn't even manage to find the fragment of the Soul Stone.
Sighing, Ye Bufan stopped. Although he was unwilling, he knew that he wouldn't find anything.
He looked at the cave one last time and turned around to leave. He walked towards the exit of the cat-eared cave.
