Alchemy & Martial Supreme

Since there was a grade five black stone here, Qin Ming wouldn't be stingy. He absorbed the black stone at an extremely fast speed and recovered completely in no time.    

"A grade five black stone is indeed much better than a third grade black stone." Qin Ming looked at the grade five black stone in his hand, which had become much lighter in color, and sighed with emotion.    

At the same time, he looked at the Jade Puppet beside him, and discovered that it didn't show any hostility towards him because he was using a black stone.    

If he didn't know that this was a moving puppet, just looking at this puppet was like looking at a motionless statue.    

This also proved that the Jade Puppet wouldn't attack him just because he took the things here.    

"Perhaps it's really as Song Chaoyun said, this is a place of seclusion for a peerless expert." Qin Ming confirmed Song Chaoyun's speculation in his heart.    

Up until now, after walking for such a long time, they had never found any attack mechanism, nor had they encountered any danger.    

Even though this Jade Puppet had a relatively powerful combat strength, it did not attack when he was holding onto the other party's item.    

The reason why Qin Ming was recovering here was to test it out.    

If the Jade Puppet attacked, it would prove that there might be some unknown danger in the palace.    

The fact that the Jade Puppet didn't attack indicated that the master of the palace wasn't prepared for it.    

Of course, he could not let his guard down completely. However, after probing, qin Ming felt much more at ease.    

"These black stones should be the source of the Jade Puppet's power." Song Chaoyun opened the other wooden boxes next to her and found that one of them was missing a lot. She guessed that the black stones inside the wooden boxes must have been used by the Jade Puppet.    

"Yeah!" Qin Ming nodded. He didn't know much about puppets, but he knew that without energy, the puppet wouldn't be able to move at all.    

Qin Ming took out a box full of black stones, but he wasn't interested in any of the other black stones.    

"Let's go!" Qin Ming said, "I can feel a different Qi over there. Let's go and take a look."    

Qin Ming wasn't greedy. This black stone was obviously for the Jade Puppet. If he took away a box, the other black stones could still be used by the Jade Puppet for a long time.    

This box of black stones was enough for him to use for a long time.    

"Alright." Seeing that Qin Ming only took one box, song Chaoyun was a bit surprised. After covering up the wooden chest, she quickly followed behind Qin Ming, turning a blind eye to the black stones.    

"Why didn't you take all the black stones?" Song Chaoyun asked curiously, "It's obvious that this palace has lost its owner. These are all ownerless items."    

Qin Ming said with a smile, "One box is enough. If I need blackstones, I can use my own ability to earn them."    

"Just like how we Alchemist harvest Source Plant in the wild, we will not uproot the Source Plant. We will only take out useful things."    

"Furthermore, we will definitely not dig out a Source Plant that has yet to mature. The reason is to leave the Source Plant to the others."    

Picking a Source Plant had a rule that did not allow one to pluck a Source Plant that had yet to fully mature. A Source Plant that could continuously grow would definitely not be uprooted.    

Even if the Source Plant wasn't fully grown, it could still be sold for a good price after picking it. A Source Plant that was uprooted would sell for a higher price, but most herbalists wouldn't do that.    

This was the virtue of herbalists. Even if they knew, they might never come here again in their lives. Once they left, the things left behind would belong to others, and they wouldn't go all out to fish.
