Chapter 3868: Acknowledged Master
Yi, what was going on here?
After taking a look at the Celestial Cauldron, they were calling him Master?
“Why do you address me as Master?” Ling Han asked.
The leader of the Sand Maidens was incredibly respectful, “According to our ancestral teachings, if we encounter someone who has cultivated a stone Celestial Cauldron, and is not affected by our Soul Extinguishing Technique, that would be our Master!”
Who had created this setting?
Ling Han pondered for a moment, before asking, “Who are you people?”
“We don’t know where we come from either. We’ve only lived here for generations, guarding a key,” the Sand Maiden in the lead said.
A thought flashed in Ling Han’s head. The White Lotus Holy Emperor had said before that there was an ultimate fortune in this Mystery Realm. Could it be that it was opened by this key?
“What key?” Ling Han asked.
The leader of the Sand Maidens immediately turned around, and with a swoosh, melted into the wall.
Ling Han couldn’t help but grumble. Since you guys can pass through sand as if it was air, then why did you have to build a house? Wasn’t that superfluous?
He had just finished complaining, when he saw that the Sand Maiden had returned, and as expected, she was holding a key in her hand.
She walked in front of Ling Han, knelt down on one knee, and respectfully handed him the key.
Ling Han caught it, and couldn’t help but feel his hand sink.
So heavy.
What kind of power did Ling Han possess? Yet, the key actually felt heavy in his hand? This was a clear sign of just how heavy this key was.
What material was it made of?
Ling Han examined it carefully. At first glance, this key looked like it was made of bronze. It should be extremely ancient, and there were even spots of rust on it.
Would Divine Metal rust?
Yes, but that would require an astonishingly long time, and this key was incredibly heavy. The materials used should be considerably precious, and it was very possible that they were Four Stars, Five Stars or even higher grade. To make this kind of Divine Metal rust, how many years would it take?
Ling Han sent his divine sense into it, but there was no reaction.
This most likely wasn’t a Spirit Tool, but rather a key forged from a high-level Divine Metal. Whatever it was, he would put it away first.
Ling Han placed the bronze key into his Spatial Spirit Tool, then asked, “Where are the people you guys kidnapped?”
“In reply to Master, we did not hurt those people. We were only using them to breed,” the leader of the Sand Maidens said.
Br-breed?
Ling Han couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. Could she not use such strong words? He was curious, “Don’t you have any male members?”
“No,” the leader of the Sand Maidens replied. “If we mate, we’ll only give birth to a girl.” “Then what if there are no men?” Ling Han’s desire for gossip burned. This Mystery Realm would only open once every million years, and even Saints would die of old age. How could you guys hold on for a million years until a new batch of men came?
“After we die, a life core will be left behind, nurtured with the energy of the land’s heart, and a new life will be formed,” the leader of the Sand Maidens replied. She was really telling him everything she knew.
Asexual reproduction? How boring.
However, this kind of life was really amazing. If there were men, they would copulate, and if there were no men, they would die and come back to life.
Of course, life couldn’t be duplicated. If one died, that was the end.
“Will a new life maintain its previous memories?” Ling Han asked. This was the key.
“No.” The leader of the Sand Maidens shook her head.
That’s right. All beings only had one life. Even if they reincarnated from the dead, they would only have the same body, and their souls were completely two different people.
“What about those men?” Ling Han asked.
“They are here. Master, please follow me,” the leader of the Sand Maidens said.
Ling Han followed her, and soon arrived at a very, very large house. He saw that there were multiple men lined up neatly on the ground. However, they were all naked.
Er, were they being treated like a stud pig?
“Master, we won’t hurt them. After mating, we’ll send them back to the surface,” the leader of the Sand Maidens emphasized.
Ling Han mocked internally. If these men knew who he had “mated” with, just this kind of damage alone would be enough to leave a psychological scar in their minds for the rest of
their lives.
However, thinking about how these Sand Maidens were quite pitiful, and how they called him Master, Ling Han decided to pretend that he didn’t know about this.
“You guys have always lived in the desert. Do you know how big this place is?” Ling Han asked.
“Master, it’s actually very simple to leave the desert,” the leader of the Sand Maidens said.
“Oh?”
“We only need ten minutes to leave if we set out from here,” the leader of the Sand Maidens said. Then, she drew a diagram for Ling Han.
As it turned out, this desert was indeed astonishingly huge. Furthermore, the sand was still flowing. It looked like you had been walking forwards, but in truth, you could possibly be walking in circles. Thus, whether you could walk out or not actually depended on luck.
If you were lucky, you would be able to walk out in one or two days, but if you were not, trapping you for a few months would be no big deal.
However, if he directly went to the end from underground, that would only be a matter of ten
minutes.
Of course, if you weren’t extremely familiar with this place, even if you went underground, you wouldn’t know which direction you should go. You would still be trapped.
Ling Han felt that this adventure was quite worth it.
-After unravelling the mystery of the mysterious kidnapper, he had obtained a bronze key,
and could even leave this desert quickly.
“Master, I don’t know if you need this.” The leader of the Sand Maidens seemed to have suddenly recalled something, and turned to leave. When she returned, she was holding some
crimson beads in her hands.
“What is this?” Ling Han asked.
“We call it the Crimson Sun Cold Dew,” the leader of the Sand Maidens said. “The energy of the blazing sun gathers underground, condensing into dew, forming ice crystals.”
It sounded very high-end.
“We’ve been eating this since childhood,” the leader of the Sand Maidens said.
Ling Han was extremely curious, and he asked, “You people don’t have a mouth, so how are
you going to eat?”
The leader of the Sand Maidens began her demonstration. She took out a bead, and gripped it in her hand. The size of the bead rapidly shrunk, and soon disappeared.
So that was how it was eaten.
Ling Han also took one and channeled the Ancient Sun Divine Scroll. Instantly, a scorching energy was transmitted from the bead, surging into his body.
Yi, this was equivalent to natural treasures.
Ling Han showed a hint of pleasant surprise. This was not an alchemical pill, but rather a naturally formed natural treasure. Thus, it possessed one of the unique traits of natural treasures, and that was being devoid of alchemic poison, so no matter how much of it was consumed, the effects would only be slightly inferior, and there would not be any alchemic poison left behind.
More importantly, how many pearls were there?
Ling Han asked. The leader of the Sand Maidens thought for a long time, then directly brought him to the place where the Crimson Sun Cold Dew was stored.
Good lord, there was an entire room!
“How much can I take?” Ling Han asked.
“If Master wants it, you can naturally take it all,” the leader of the Sand Maidens said respectfully. “In this place, we can gather dozens of Crimson Sun Cold Dew every day. Even if we give birth to newborn babies, it would be enough.”
True, otherwise how could they have saved up a whole room?
“There are still too many that have turned back into energy and disappeared because too
much time has passed,” the leader of the Sand Maidens said.
What a waste, what a great waste!
Ling Han didn’t stand on ceremony. Rather than letting them go to waste, it would be better
for him to keep them.
In a few moments, he had moved almost all of the Crimson Sun Cold Dew in this room into his Spatial Tool, leaving behind close to a hundred. These Sand Maidens also needed this thing to replenish their stamina.
