**Chapter 1116: The Source of the Essence Fire, A Must-Visit**

Shu Yu Qingrou left in a bit of a hurry, looking somewhat disheveled. Lin Moyu couldn't help but laugh, "She's quite interesting."

He had never intended to fight for the Starry Sky Bead.

From the moment Yu Qingrou recognized the Starry Sky Bead, Lin Moyu knew it was very important to her.

It wasn't just important to her personally, but to the entire Starfish Clan.

If he insisted on taking the Starry Sky Bead, he might offend the entire Starfish Clan, which would be a loss.

Moreover, Yu Qingrou had a point. Regardless of her reasons, she did risk her life to save him. Whether she succeeded or not wasn't important; what mattered was that she came and risked her life. Lin Moyu didn't believe she couldn't see the power of the Abyss Dragon Demon. She knew the danger and still came. That alone was enough. The Starry Sky Bead was just an external object. External objects were not as important as loyalty.

Lin Moyu reached out and collected the Abyss Dragon Demon's corpse, exchanging the Black Star Beast of the eighth stage of the Divine King realm for the Abyss Dragon Demon of the third stage of the Divine King realm.

It was a loss, but it was unavoidable.

Lin Moyu didn't feel too regretful.

"I wonder if this dragon demon meat is edible. I'll take it back for Senior Chu Xiong to taste."

Lin Moyu recalled that human records mentioned dragon liver and phoenix gall as supreme delicacies, and dragon meat was also a top-grade ingredient. But whether the Abyss Dragon Demon of the demon race was a top-grade ingredient was uncertain.

From the Abyss Dragon Demon's corpse, Lin Moyu found six dragon pearls.

They were somewhat similar to the dragon pearls of the dragon race. Dragon pearls were the essence of the dragon race. Although they weren't very useful to other races, they were supreme treasures for the dragon race.

Lin Moyu unceremoniously collected them.

One of the dragon pearls emitted a special aura. Antares had told Lin Moyu that such dragon pearls were used by the dragon race to store items.

Almost every member of the dragon race had one such dragon pearl.

Antares had also taught Lin Moyu how to open the storage dragon pearl, saying at the time, "If you kill a dragon, don't leave empty-handed. Take what you can."

A dragon of the dragon race teaching an outsider how to rob dragon race members felt surreal at the time. When he opened the storage dragon pearl, the number of items inside shocked Lin Moyu.

The Abyss Dragon Demon had clearly been here for a long time, and its harvest was extremely rich.

There were over ten thousand ordinary essence fires alone, along with countless materials and magical treasures.

Most of these materials and treasures were unfamiliar to Lin Moyu, but he was sure they came from various races.

Clearly, their original owners had been eaten by the Abyss Dragon Demon, becoming its nourishment.

And this wasn't the first time the Abyss Dragon Demon had done such a thing.

Judging by its familiarity, Lin Moyu believed it had done this before.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain the vast amount of items in the storage dragon pearl.

Regardless, these items now belonged to him.

When he returned, he would throw them into the trading center and let the appraisers handle the valuation, saving himself the trouble.

His gaze fell on the central area, and Lin Moyu smiled, "That girl should have already taken the five-colored essence fire."

Yu Qingrou had left, and Lin Moyu guessed she would likely head to the central area.

Judging by her eagerness to grab the four-colored essence fire, she wouldn't let the five-colored essence fire slip by.

With a flap of his undead wings, Lin Moyu turned into a stream of light and flew rapidly.

Crossing tens of millions of kilometers, he arrived at the central area.

Lin Moyu smiled knowingly.

The five-colored essence fire was long gone, undoubtedly taken by Yu Qingrou.

Lin Moyu could still faintly sense Yu Qingrou's lingering aura.

But it wasn't empty. Where the five-colored essence fire had been, a few items were left behind.

These were storage items left by the strong ones from various races who had been killed.

Yu Qingrou had collected them all but left them here.

It was her way of telling Lin Moyu that she had taken the five-colored essence fire but left the storage items.

She was still very loyal. If she wanted, she could have taken everything.

Lin Moyu laughed heartily, finding her more and more interesting.

He unceremoniously collected the storage items.

In fact, most of the storage items of the strong ones who died here had already been taken by Lin Moyu along with their corpses.

Later, he even used the corpses as weapons to blow up the Abyss Dragon Demon, leaving no remains.

Only a few killed by the Abyss Dragon Demon or those too far away, killed by the undead army and the Skeleton King, had storage items left behind.

At that time, under dual space confinement, Lin Moyu's speed was too slow, and he had no time to collect them.

It was another substantial gain, though the exact amount was hard to calculate.

Lin Moyu only knew that the number of ordinary stellar essence fires he had exceeded 50,000.

For this mission, he only needed to collect ten.

He had completed the task many times over.

But now wasn't the time to count. Lin Moyu planned to cultivate six-colored essence fire.

Based on the sublimation of the [Summon Skeleton King] spell, relying solely on five-colored essence fire wasn't very reliable.

If it weren't for the addition of the stellar fire seed, the sublimation might have failed.

Now that the stellar fire seed was used up, to increase the success rate, he needed at least six-colored essence fire.

If possible, Lin Moyu even wanted to cultivate seven-colored or eight-colored essence fire.

But to cultivate six-colored essence fire, this place wasn't suitable. He needed to go deeper, to the fifth stellar essence fire group, also known as the source of the essence fire.

To get from the fourth stellar essence fire group to the source of the essence fire, he had to cross a void of 4,000 kilometers.

Even at full speed, it would take a long time.

But there was no choice. For the sake of spell sublimation, he had to make the journey sooner or later.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and decided not to set off immediately.

Looking at the stellar essence fires he already had, Lin Moyu decided to cultivate some five-colored essence fires first.

In case he couldn't reach the source or couldn't cultivate six-colored essence fire, he could at least use five-colored essence fire to attempt sublimation.

The number of people in the fourth stellar essence fire group was already small, and after the battle with the Abyss Dragon Demon, most were dead.

Apart from the stellar essence fires, the place was now empty.

This made Lin Moyu's actions much quicker and more convenient.

If anyone else came looking for trouble, Lin Moyu would let them taste the power of the Skeleton King.

Holding the shell, he searched for the location of the flashing fire.

After searching for half a day, the shell finally reacted, indicating a place where the flashing fire would appear.

Coincidentally, there were also stellar essence fires there. When the stellar essence fires were impacted by the flashing fire, they would mutate and evolve into top-grade stellar essence fires.

Unfortunately, there weren't many stellar essence fires around, so they could at most evolve into four-colored essence fires, not five-colored.

With his previous experience, Lin Moyu didn't hesitate to take out a large number of stellar essence fires and place them around.

When the flashing fire appeared and the mutation began, it would immediately absorb enough stellar essence fires.

The entire process went exactly as Lin Moyu had imagined.

The surrounding stellar essence fires, plus those Lin Moyu had deliberately placed, totaled 452.

Enough to form five-colored essence fire.

When the number exceeded 450, Lin Moyu once again felt the fluctuations from the five-colored essence fire, indicating its instability.

This confirmed Lin Moyu's theory that the flashing fire here wasn't strong enough, with a limit of five-colored essence fire. The source of the essence fire was a must-visit.
