in the courtyard.

Bailu stood in front of the tall barbarian statue, with a look of surprise on his face.

And not just because of the high energy value it provides.

And it is also the type of sustainable absorption.

Putting your palm on it, you can clearly feel that strands of Yin Qi are pouring into your body.

The speed and efficiency are much better than that of the bone stick.

Just a moment later, Egret removed his palm and looked at Alai who was beside him.

"This sculpture is not bad. As for the others, keep those few and get rid of the rest."

Randomly pointing to a few sculptures that looked pleasing to the eye, Bai Lu picked up the barbarian sculpture and placed it directly in the inner courtyard.

Then he spoke to Ali again.

"Continue to send people to search for some ancient sculptures. In addition to sculptures, some decorations of other objects handed down from ancient times can also be collected."

"By the way, the price doesn't have to be expensive, as long as it takes a long time."

"Uh... well."

Alai nodded in confusion.

Although I don't understand why His Royal Highness is interested in these things.

In her opinion, these things are nothing more than useless things.

But Alai responded immediately.

"Alright, then, His Highness the Ninth Prince, I'll give you an order. It shouldn't be long before I think I'll be able to gain something."

Soon, Alai turned around and retreated.

Meanwhile, Egret rubbed his chin and looked at the stone statue of the barbarian in front of him.

After he came to the barbarians, he discovered a problem.

That is, the energy value attached to these relics of the barbarians is basically quite strong.

Compared with the antiques in Dayu, the richness is more than a little bit stronger.

Even the lowest stone sculpture can provide fifty energy points.

Such a value almost exceeded 90.00% of the nine antiques he saw in Dayue.

And this is the stone sculpture with the lowest energy value.

Like the barbarian stone sculpture in front of me, the energy value it can provide is conservatively estimated to be around [-] points.

The gap between the two is too huge.

"So, what exactly is causing this?"

Egret murmured to himself while carefully looking at the stone statue in front of him and several other statues beside him.

I just looked at it for a while, but didn't find anything unusual.

Bailu set his sights on the barbarian stone statue again.

I want to start with this statue with the highest degree of Yin Qi.

He reached out and groped inch by inch on the statue.

There are system prompts flashing by from time to time.

[Energy value +1, energy value +, ...]

The prompt tone frequency is quite high, and it will sound almost every few minutes.

When the egret's palm was close to the sculpture's chest, it paused.

【Energy value +3】

Seeing the sudden prompt on the panel, Bai Lu narrowed his eyes.

According to normal circumstances, the supply of energy value is constant.

However, there are some problems in this situation.

The egret's eyes fell on the weird pattern on the barbarian's chest.

The next moment, he stretched out his palm and grabbed it into the barbarian's chest.

With a strong movement, a large piece of rubble was scattered on the statue.

The grey-white hard substance was exposed.

Looking at the barbarian in front of him, Bai Lu showed a look of surprise on his face.

After the thick rubble on the surface was scattered, a statue was actually exposed again.

Without the cover of the outer stone layer, the stone carvings in front of me are extremely exquisite in workmanship, and their facial expressions are lifelike. Apart from the color, they are actually like living people.

The statue lowered its head, staring fixedly at its own chest, and could clearly see the frightened look on its face.

Now the whole body of the statue is gray and white, only the strange pattern exposed forward is as black as ink.

It was actually the same as the pattern on the surface of Cai Cai that looked like a human but not a beast.

Seeing this scene, Egret narrowed his eyes, and with a flick of his fingers, he shattered the shoulder of the statue, revealing the inside which was obviously paler than the outside.

"This is……"

Seeing this, Bailu's eyes flashed with astonishment, as if he understood something.

The gray and white statue in front of him was not a stone sculpture at all, but a living barbarian.

Seeing the current appearance, it is obviously a person from ancient times.

The body has already assimilated with the rock outside the body.

"Just why is it sealed in the clay sculpture?"

Egret was a little puzzled.

The line of sight moved down to the barbarian's chest, on the strange engraving.

"Maybe that's where the problem lies."

He stretched out his palm to cover the mark.

Soon the reminder should sound.

[Energy value +5...Energy value +5...]

The speed of absorbing energy is actually several times faster than before.

Egret's fingers inserted into the center of the imprint, completely tearing open a hole the size of a human head.

Flicked some gray and white bits and pieces, leaving only a pinch of black viscous liquid exuding a strong yin energy that could not reach the fingernails.

It is said that it is liquid, but under the baptism of years, it has become semi-solid.

It feels slightly elastic to the touch.

With the touch of the egret, the prompt information in the ear suddenly changed.

【Energy value +200】

Immediately, Egret suddenly felt the elasticity of the black irregular thing in his hand disappear quickly.

There is no more Yin Qi surging in it.

Seeing this scene, Egret's eyes flickered.

"It seems that the source of the so-called Yin Qi is these unknown black substances."

There was some shock in his heart.

After coming to this world for a long time, I have dealt with things like Yin Qi many times.

It's not that he didn't want to find out why there is Yin Qi on those objects with Yin Qi.

Is it just because it has some contact with evil spirits?

If this is the case, then these yin qi are too worthless.

After all, red moons appear frequently, and evil spirits emerge in endlessly. It can be said that there are definitely not a few things related to it.

But even so, there are more than tens of thousands of things he ordered to collect, but very few of them have Yin Qi.

He had also studied those antique objects with Yin Qi, but he didn't find anything.

Until they came to the barbarian area, whether they encountered stone carvings or weapons with energy values, their yin energy was quite strong, far exceeding that before.

This made him want to investigate again, but he didn't expect to find something.

As for what this black substance is, it is impossible to know.

After checking again, it was confirmed that the black thing was useless. Bai Lu turned it into flying ash with a flick of his fingers, and then smashed the stone statue of the barbarian in front of him into pieces, and then turned back in the room.

Although I don't know what's going on with this barbarian, but it's better not to make more troubles when you can't protect yourself.

If you really accidentally involve some unnecessary troubles, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Just after Bailu entered the room, it was on top of a high-rise building outside the mansion.

Nagu also slowly retracted his gaze.

"What the hell is this kid doing?"

He had some doubts in his heart, for these stone carvings, in his opinion, there was nothing worth spending time on.

Even when Alai transported these stone sculptures to the mansion, he checked them quietly, but found nothing.

"Could it be that he really likes these ancient things!?"

A thought flashed through Nagu's mind.

Thinking that the other party's information seemed to be quite keen on collecting some antique objects, he didn't care too much, knowing that it was Bailu's personal hobby.

Three days later.

Rainy.

As soon as spring came, there was spring rain, which was a bit rare on the endless grassland.

In the residence, Egret looks through the window at Alai who is wantonly carrying rainwater in the yard, walking in the water with bare feet, twisting his waist and dancing the barbarian-style tribal dance, which is quite artistic.

He was holding a bone stick in his left hand, and a domino the size of a human face in his right hand, and there were various strange gadgets on the table in front of him.

There are wine glasses polished with the skulls of unknown animals, there are pitch-black metal necklaces, and there are decorations that look like round monsters with potholes...

From a rough look, there are as many as seven or eight pieces, both big and small, and the stone table is fully occupied.

Egret's gaze was a little distracted, and he seemed to be admiring Alai's dance, but in fact most of his attention had already fallen on the panel in front of him.

On the panel at this time, a series of prompt characters are appearing.

All are records of energy value entry.

The things in front of him were selected from the many things Alai collected in the past two days.

The yin qi contained in it is all good, and the energy value of several things has been recorded as nearly a thousand points.

And the domino in his hand is a rare item that can continuously provide energy.

As for the bone stick, the yin energy in it has been absorbed for a few days, and there is very little left.

Finally, after the bone rod provided a little energy value again, there was no movement at all.

Seeing this, Egret was not surprised and put it aside.

Put your hands together to hold the dominoes in your hands, and then slowly increase the strength in your hands.

As the power gradually increased, the dominoes suddenly made an overwhelmed clicking sound.

Soon, it completely shattered.

A small ball of black matter fell out and was firmly caught by a big hand.

【Energy value +100】

Seeing the system prompt, there was no surprise on Bai Lu's face.

The black substance in his hand was significantly smaller than the volume in the barbarian's body before.

Feeling the complete dissipation of the yin energy of the black substance, the egret twisted lightly, and the dark red energy surged, instantly burning it into nothingness.

At this time, Alai's dancing in the yard also stopped.

Seeing the white egret looking at him, Alai was overjoyed, his face flushed slightly, and he walked to the egret's window with snow-white jade feet, and spoke softly.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, how is Alai's dancing?"

"Don't have a sense of beauty."

Egret smiled.

"By the way, Your Highness Nine, some of the antiquities that can be collected in the royal city in the past two days are basically here. If you want to collect them, you can only start from other cities."

"However, it will take a lot of time, after all, the distance between the several big cities in the tribe is quite far."

"how long will it takes?"

Hearing this, Egret asked.

As a royal family, the blood wolf tribe is naturally more than just a city in the royal city.

In addition to the royal city, there are three other big cities and several small cities.

It's just that the Endless Grassland has a vast area, and the distance between them is not close. It really takes a long time to transport the stone carvings and other things he needs from other cities.

"Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that it will take half a month. If some elite masters in the royal city are sent to deliver it in person, the speed will be much faster, and it will be back in less than a week."

Alai thought for a moment before saying.

"A month?"

Hearing this, Egret groaned for a moment, but still spoke.

"There is no need to dispatch elites for some hobbies, one month is one month."

"Okay, I'll give orders now."

Hearing this, Alai retreated in response.

Watching Alai leave, Bailu sighed softly in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't want to send elites, but that it's too ostentatious.

Although he is His Highness Ninth Prince in name, but in reality...

Thinking in his heart, Bailu's eyes swept across from a certain direction.

From time to time in the past two days, he felt a sense of being watched.

Although it is extremely subtle, but at his level, it is impossible for any hallucinations to appear.

So of course someone was following him.

Although he also felt this way before, it only appeared when he wanted to go out of the city, and he was not under surveillance almost all day like he is now.

And yesterday Nagu also came over, on the surface in the name of guidance, but in fact he was checking his own practice.

However, as Bailu tried his best to control his qi and blood, the other party didn't notice anything.

At this time, the energy value on his panel was already in the early three thousand.

In a month, if you can bring enough antiquities, and if you are lucky, you will have enough energy to enter the account. During your stay at home, you can harvest some scattered things in the royal city, and you may be able to gather together many times to break through the cultivation realm of the demon blood technique , or even the possibility of breaking through the blood child's immortality.

"I just don't know what happened to Qingyi?"

Bai Lu looked in the direction of Dayu, the focus spread, and he felt a little worried.

Now he has been away for two months. Although it is not that long, the situation in Dayu is not clear. If something happens, it will be a little troublesome.

But thinking of Xia Houwu's shrewdness, Bai Lu's worries dissipated a little.

Although my father-in-law's cultivation base is not very strong, his scheming and intelligence are definitely top-notch, and he can handle any situation he thinks he will encounter.

I can only comfort myself in this way.

Bailu understands his current situation, if he is not able to handle it well and waits until the other party tries to meet him, he will die.

"Strength, as expected, is still weak..."

Thinking in his heart, Egret's eyes became steadfast again, and he regained his resolute appearance.

"Huh? Have you completed the body swallowing technique on the first level? Not bad, not bad..."

At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded beside him.

There was a touch of surprise in the voice.

Falling into the ear of the egret, the half of the body that had just turned around suddenly twisted, the hairs all over stood on end, staring closely at the tall figure that suddenly appeared in front of it.

That Yuan Hong! !

He was startled that Yuan Hong could quietly appear in front of him, but he didn't notice it.

What was even more shocking was that the other party could detect his disguise at a glance.

This situation terrified him.

Taking a deep breath, Bailu tried to suppress the tsunami-like vibration in his heart.

He lifted his gaze to meet Yuan Hong's red pupils with a different kind of excitement.

"That's right, I have realized something today, and I am worthy of stepping into the first level."

"Good, good, good..."

Hearing Bai Lu's confession, Yuan Hong uttered three good words in a row, and the excitement on his face subsided after a long while, returning to the usual indifferent look, but the fishy glow in his pupils was still strong.

"As expected of a top-notch physique, such a speed...is really unimaginable!!"
