Chapter 1285 Value Of Immortal Stones　　Xiao Yang had already finished half of the flowers in the garden which alone was a large number. There were easily over a hundred flowers in the garden which would be a terrifying number if they were brought to be sold. The Ten Apertures Blood Vein flowers were something that could actually be sold for tens of Immortal Stones.

Immortal Stones were similar to spirit stones, but contained Immortal qi instead of spirit qi. One could say they were an upgraded version of spirit stones and were only found in Immortal worlds and above. They were a lot more valuable than spirit stones.

Even if someone had a million high grade spirit stones, they might not be able to exchange it for a single low grade immortal stone. It wasn’t even a matter of cost, but rather the change it could bring forth.

Even if Spirit qi cultivators couldn’t make use of Immortal stones, they could still use it to power some Immortal weapons. There were some lucky individuals in the myriad of worlds who held immortal weapons while they themselves were below the immortal realm.

With such weapons under their control, they could reign supreme for a long time. Even a Nascent soul realm cultivator might kill entire armies with the swing of an immortal weapon and slay Immortal Ascension realm cultivators. It was the equivalent of having a nuclear bomb.

Of course, such a thing only applied to the spirit cultivators who didn’t have any immortal qi of their own and needed to depend on the Immortal stones to utilize such weapons.

For a false immortal who had not yet survived his first Immortal tribulation, he could still kill a spirit cultivator with an immortal weapon. The transaction of spirit stones to immortal stones would only be done between spirit cultivators after all, and for immortals it was needless to even consider.

In Lin Mu’s case, Immortal stones would be quite useful for him. Even if he didn’t have any immortal weapons, he could still utilize the Immortal stones in the most basic way: Currency.

Money was something one would need everywhere, and in the Rust Sky world, Lin Mu would definitely need it when he entered normal civilization. He would also need it to exchange for several resources that he couldn’t get otherwise.

The Ten Apertures Blood Vein flowers would be a good way to kick start his venture into this world.

~Phew~

”Forty three… I managed to save forty three flowers.” Lin Mu plopped down feeling rather scared.

He felt like he had almost lost a lifetime of a fortune but had still managed to grab back a handful. Lin Mu looked at the culprit behind his anxiety and saw him casually crawling back to him.

”Had your fill?” Lin Mu asked, unable to get angry at the child.

~Hiss~

Xiao Yang nodded his head as if to answer him before slithering up his arm and hiding under his sleeve to sleep. The other twin Xiao Yin had already fallen asleep after getting some Yin Spirit qi from her brother beforehand.

’Hmmm… They’re getting stronger already…’ Lin Mu sensed the bodies of the twin snakes.

The Dao shells of the twins had already become half solid. This progress was really shocking and had been achieved in less than three days. If anyone from a mortal world were to see this, they might just die out of envy.

”If they keep this pace, they might end up leaving Little Shrubby in the dust in terms of cultivation base…” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

The twins had great potential and talent, such that Lin Mu even wondered if they would reach the Immortal Realm before him.

”I won’t be that slow, will I?” he wondered.

Regardless of whatever it might be, Lin Mu didn’t mind it in the long term. The twin snakes would forever be attached to him, and the stronger they were the better it would be for Lin Mu.

After all, they were attached to him through the beast taming technique which couldn’t be broken.

”Still… how can there be so many Ten Apertures Blood Vein flowers growing here? The condition here are less than ideal for them to grow.” Lin Mu felt confused.

According to the memoirs of the Lost Immortal, the Ten Apertures Blood Vein flower needed a steady supply of blood along with rich amounts of qi. 

The current location didn’t seem to have any source of blood anywhere, and the closest source would be across the void in the Rust Sky world.

’Were they nurtured through some other method?’ Lin Mu couldn’t help but wonder.

But after thinking for a bit, he realized that it was unlikely for the Ten Apertures Blood Vein flower to have been cultivated by someone. The flowers were growling in a random pattern thus it was not possible for some herbalist or alchemist to have planted them here.

If someone intended to plant them, they would do so in a specialized and spaced out field that would give the best possible conditions to the Ten Apertures Blood Vein flower.

The more Lin Mu thought about this entire place, which was basically an asteroid, they more confused he got.

’An underground office with rooms alternating between flooding and burning. A garden filled with over a hundred Ten Apertures Blood Vein flowers as well as a membrane that protects it from the volatile energy of the void.’ Lin Mu analyzed.

No matter what he thought, the scenario was just to strange for him to figure out an explanation. 

”Guess I need to continue exploring…” Lin Mu reckoned.

With that in mind, Lin Mu moved away from the garden. The asteroid was several kilometers in size and thus there was plenty of space for Lin Mu to explore. Picking a random direction, he started to walk.

About ten minutes of walking later, Lin Mu saw a new structure appearing in front of him. 

It was similar in design to the underground palace he had see, but seemed to be greatly damaged. Plus it was situated on the surface instead of underground.
