Chapter 173.
When things go wrong, there must be a demon.
Below the ground, the roots are so thick, and the roots are numerous and dense, naturally even more unusual.
It was no wonder that he felt so difficult when he evaded the ground, it turned out that all of them were blocked by this tree root.
“Obviously, my previous judgment was not wrong, the spirit vein node, is indeed in this place.
However, these tree roots have intercepted the spiritual qi, the earth’s qi, which is above the ground, there is nothing to show.
Next, all I need to do is to search for the source of the roots, and I will naturally be able to find the source of this spirit plant.”
tan san muttered, and hurriedly followed this massive root and kept moving forward.
Ten zhang, twenty zhang, thirty zhang ……
A full seventy zhang later, he was able to find the source of this rhizome and rushed out from the ground in a smooth manner.
Then also saw the source of all this at a glance.
“This ……
Black Cedar Wood?”
tan san looked at the large tree in front of him, and his heart couldn’t help but sink.
The source of the roots that spanned hundreds of meters was actually the most ordinary and common Black Fir Wood in the entire black dense forest.
This black fir wood, although it was considered a spirit wood, was only a low-grade spirit wood.
Its characteristic is also strong and durable, if it is used to build a house, it is a good wood ……
This plant ……
tan san couldn’t help but look at this Black Fir Wood once again.
The shape was not much different from the other black fir wood, just relatively thicker.
“But that’s also the case, the more it proves that this strain of Black Fir Wood, is not simple.”
tan san naturally wouldn’t be confused by its appearance, and in response, he used a Spirit Hearing Technique.
The Spirit Listening Technique was a secret technique, a spell, to probe within a spirit plant, through which one could peer into the heart of many spirit plants.
Even if there are any foci, it can also be checked.
Therefore, in an unknown situation, he naturally needed to use this spell to probe first.
Then, his eyes snapped open, revealing a look of shock.
“Ten thousand year old spirit wood?
This is actually a ten thousand year old spirit wood?”
tan san looked at the spirit wood in disbelief, and there was some disbelief on his face as well.
Who would have thought that this Spirit Wood that didn’t seem to differ much from the other Black Cedar Woods would have grown for ten thousand years, a solid ten thousand year old Spirit Wood.
One must know that a ten thousand year old spirit wood, no matter what variety of tree it was, was bound to be a fourth grade spirit plant.
And within its body, it was also bound to give birth to a wood heart.
“Wood heart, which is a wood-attribute spirit, is actually not scarce in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Among some second-grade spirit trees, third-grade spirit trees, and even first-grade spirit trees, it is possible for a wood heart to be born.
Generally calculated by year, such as a hundred years of spirit wood, a thousand years of spirit wood …… for cultivators specializing in wood-attribute techniques, the role is great, not only can be used to enhance the cultivation, but also will be able to melt into their own magic weapon, treasure weapon, or even treasure, to enhance the power.
However, this Black Cedar Wood in front of him was a ten thousand year old spirit wood.
That was a solid fourth grade spirit plant.
And the wood heart that it gave birth to would inevitably be a ten thousand year old wood heart, a fourth grade spirit material!”
tan san’s entire body shook, his heart incomparably excited.
Unexpectedly, he had been so lucky.
This heaven-splitting fortune had finally landed in his hands.
“Moreover, this Ten Thousand Years Wood Heart just happens to be something I can use.
It’s one of the five materials for my Five Elements Pure Yang True Body.”
tan san muttered, looking at the spirit wood once again.
Black Cedar Wood, was an ordinary Spirit Wood, being able to grow to 10,000 years was rare, but 10,000 years was also already the limit of this Spirit Wood.
Under the limitations of spirit vein level and spirit wood grade, it was impossible for it to advance again.
Instead of letting it grow freely and continue to absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, it would be better to pull out the heart of the wood and let it play a greater role.
Thus, tan san’s mind moved, and the three flying swords immediately levitated, then turned into streams of light and quickly chopped towards this Black Fir Wood!
Boom!
A dull sound came out.
His flying swords, after all, only broke through a layer of skin.
A fourth-grade spirit plant was incredibly tough.
Even with his full strength, he only broke through its bark.
At this, he was unimpressed, and the more this happened, the more energized he became.
Hastily, he controlled the flying swords to rotate.
The three flying swords united.
Puff!
Instantly, they deeply disappeared into it.
After one time, another time.
He kept driving the flying swords and finally dug through a huge opening.
Then with a glance, he saw in the center of that opening, a sea bowl sized, turquoise colored spirit object filled with the aura of spiritual energy.
It was precisely this Black Cedar Wood Wood Heart.
Ten thousand year old wood heart.
Hastily controlling the flying sword, he quickly struck out.
Finally, as the flying sword rotated, the entire wooden heart was instantly scraped out.
“Finally in hand.
A fourth-grade spiritual object, a ten thousand year old wooden heart.
My second spirit item for refining the Five Elements Pure Yang True Body has arrived.”
tan san carefully surveyed this one wooden heart.
It only felt incomparably heavy.
Moreover, from above this wooden heart, an incomparably pure spiritual energy aura was emitted, making one instinctively want to absorb and devour it.
Especially since the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique that tan san practiced contained wood-attribute spiritual energy itself, this feeling became stronger and stronger.
Nevertheless, he quickly packed it in a jade box and covered it with a Limit Breaking Level Sealing Talisman, then carefully put it into his storage bag.
Immediately afterward, he noticed.
As he dug out the ten thousand year old wooden heart, the entire Black Cedar Wood quickly withered.
And underneath the ground, there was also a rapid outpouring of spiritual qi to moisturize the earth.
In just a short period of time, the richness of the spiritual qi had more than doubled.
On top of the earth, there were all sorts of grasses and trees growing out continuously.
“Such a terrifying amount of spiritual qi.
Can you imagine how much Spiritual Qi this ten thousand year old Spirit Wood has absorbed in order to maintain its growth?”
tan san sighed with emotion and did not dare to continue staying here.
After the Spiritual Qi was suddenly enriched, it would inevitably trigger all sorts of demonic beasts to converge, and even that Bloodthirsty Berserker Wolf would be attracted over, so he naturally did not want to run into it.
Three days later!
tan san’s figure appeared in the middle of the Yellowstone Territory.
“After realizing the place where the earth’s qi converges and the spirit vein nodes, the speed at which I search for all kinds of spirit objects is really fast and incomparable.
Although there are many of them that have already been scavenged by others.
But the remaining spiritual objects within the nodes have already given me a huge harvest.”
tan san lamented in his heart as he once again put away a Foundation Establishment spirit plant.
It was a two-colored flower!
One hundred and fifty years old.
And this, was already the third two-colored flower in his storage bag.
Of course the most numerous, was still the Earth Yin Lingzhi!
Besides his one that had matured, there were five more! Then there were the twelve-colored flowers, the Mind Protecting Grass, the Earth Mother’s Root, and the God Nurturing Flower ……
All together, there were twenty-five plants at most.
If his matured Earth Yin Lingzhi and Seven-colored Immortal Lotus were counted, there were twenty-seven plants.
It was really quite a lot!
It was even more of a huge fortune.
“Inside this Yellowstone Territory, because most of the flying demonic beasts live here, the number of cultivators coming over is relatively small, which is also considered to let me, pick up a lot of leaks.
However, the closer we get to the core of the spirit veins in this Yellowstone Territory, the stronger the flying demonic beasts that appear will be.
Especially the Foundation Establishment Realm Great Demons, they are really difficult to deal with ……”
tan san thought of the scene where he had been pestered by a giant eagle at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and if he hadn’t forced himself to vanish for several miles with the help of the Evasion Method, it would have been really difficult to escape the other party’s tracking.
The other party’s eagle’s eyes were too bright.
Even if he was invisible, it was difficult to escape the other party’s tracking.
As for his attacks?
Although it was equally capable of injuring the other party, it just flew through the air, and his figure drew up hundreds of feet away, so there was nothing he could do.
Then the other party kept falling in the sky, and from time to time quickly swooped down to sneak attack …… him even if he was not afraid, he was also annoyed.
“I also don’t know, how are Sister Shen and the others doing.
I only hope that they don’t have a hot head and also go to the middle of that Nine Heavy Mountain to fight for that fourth grade spiritual plant, the thousand year enlightenment tea tea leaves.
That kind of group of cultivators to fight for things, dangerous.
It’s not suitable for Qi Practicing Cultivators to participate in.”
tan san shook his head with emotion.
He was indeed initially very interested in that Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant, Thousand Year Enlightenment Tea Leaves.
However, after hearing that there would be many cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Realm participating in the competition, he gave up on that idea.
Although he thought that his strength was not weak, but not to mention the spiritual plant side, there is the earth demon bear guard, so many Foundation Establishment realm cultivators gathered under the joint hands, the big head will certainly be taken away by them.
Ordinary Qi Practicing Stage cultivators, even if they can share, they can’t share much.
As for robbing?
He wasn’t confident that he would be able to grab a sufficient share of the Enlightenment Tea under the combined efforts of several Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.
Instead of doing so, it was better to take a step back.
Searching around for various spiritual plants.
Not to mention that at this point, he had already obtained a fourth-grade spirit, the Ten Thousand Years Wooden Heart, and had already locked in the maximum gain, so of course he didn’t need to take any more risks.
And the facts proved that he had made the right choice.
After three days, his gains were really not small.
Even the Foundation Establishment Realm Great Demon had killed two more.
There were also more than twenty more Third Grade Spirit Plants, almost half of which were Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects.
“Most importantly, my demonic beast spirit liquid is also almost filling up a storage bag.
It’s enough to cultivate the Star Origin Spirit Fruit Tree, once again, for two to three ripenings!”
One ripe, that would be a minimum of seven Star Origin Spirit Fruits.
Two ripe, wouldn’t that be fourteen?
It would definitely be able to raise his five elemental qualifications by a large margin once again.
“However.
At this point, I also need to consider the matter of leaving.
In one more day, the second wave of poisonous mist will descend.
At that time, the poisonous gas in the poisonous fog will be more than twice as powerful as it is at this time.
Even if it’s me, staying for a long time will cause some discomfort.”
tan san had made a decision long ago and planned to return to the workshop in the near future.
Moreover, he did not intend to go back from the direction of the mouth of the Divine Wind Valley.
If he only had a third grade spirit plant on him, he had nothing to worry about, and over the years, he had never heard of anyone being detained by the Ye Family for obtaining a third grade spirit plant.
However, on his body, there was a piece of fourth-grade spirit plant, ten-thousand-year wooden heart.
When he first entered the valley, that kind of large formation oppression, as well as the hidden prying intentions, but it made him wary in his heart.
Naturally, he did not want to take a single risk.
“The reason why the lucky one ten years ago got out of the valley smoothly was because he had a flying type imperial beast, the Twin-tailed Red Bat.
With the help of this Twin-tailed Red Bat’s flying ability, it was brought out from within the Divine Wind Valley.
As for me, if I want to get out of the valley, the only way is to retrace his old path.”
tan san muttered in his heart, and with that, he stood in the middle of a peak in the Yellowstone Territory.
From here, one was able to see a huge cliff thousands of meters away from this place.
This cliff was actually an inner wall of the entire Divine Wind Valley, which was twice as high as the highest peak of the Yellowstone Territory.
If he were to leap over from the foot of the cliff with the help of the Flying Technique, even with his current level of spiritual energy, he would barely be able to withstand it.
That was why he chose to go up to this Yellowstone Territory and leapt over with the help of the Yellowstone Territory’s peak.
This was likewise a huge challenge.
This was because no matter if it was the Yellowstone Territory or the opposite cliff, there were many flying type demonic beasts coiled up.
“At this time, the sky is about to get dark.
After dark, it is the time when demonic beasts are active, and it is not suitable for flying leaps.
The only thing I can do is to wait first.
Tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll ascend to the highest peak of the Yellowstone Territory and try again.”
tan san took a deep breath and quickly found a cave and set up various protective formations.
“Tomorrow, it’s very crucial for me.
It’s a good thing that my Flying Technique, after practicing using it for this period of time, has been promoted to a minor accomplishment. It’s quite enough to use.
However, the real difficulty for me was never the Flying Technique itself.
Rather, it was the demonic beasts hovering around.
So, before that, I likewise need to raise my strength as much as possible.”
tan san thought in his heart, then reached out and flipped his hand.
A wooden box soon appeared in front of him.
Contained within this wooden box was none other than the Purple Bodhi that he had originally ripened by his own means.
There were five of them!
In terms of spell cultivation, he was already at the ninth level of qi cultivation (55/100), and within a short period of time, it would be difficult to raise it.
The only thing to do was to rely on water grinding, cultivate step by step, and reach the peak step by step.
However, in addition to his spell cultivation, he also had physical cultivation.
Although the speed of cultivation, because it didn’t take too much effort, was much weaker than the qi cultivation, the rate of improvement was actually not slow.
At the sixth level of Qi Practicing, it wasn’t considered weak.
“Purple Bodhi, is a treasure that physical cultivators can only dream of.
It is a heavenly treasure that can drastically increase the strength of a cultivator’s qi and blood.
That Black Striped Leopard, just by swallowing four immature Purple Bodhi, its qi and blood strength, and physical body strength are already much stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast.
Now, I have five.
I’d like to see how much of a boost these five Purple Bodhi can give me.”
tan san muttered, and his face could not help but become solemn.
After all, what kind of situation he was facing by leaping over the mountain range was not clear to him.
Naturally, he needed to enhance his strength as much as possible.
Then, he opened the wooden box, and with that, his gaze landed on the five Purple Bodhi.
Without hesitation, he directly took out one and swallowed it in one gulp.
Boom!
In a flash, it was like a volcano erupting.
The abundant and incomparable spiritual energy directly surged into all parts of his body, continuously strengthening his physical strength.
It was like a flame burning, but it made his body incomparably abundant.
All over his body, it was as if there was an endless amount of power growing and growing.
The qi and blood were like wolf smoke, constantly rising and also constantly exercising all parts of his body.
Zi zi zi ……
His flesh and blood shook as if it had been pounded by countless sledgehammers, becoming incomparably strong and powerful, and his skin membrane also rapidly shook with the influx of qi and blood power, becoming tough and delicate.
Even the strength contained within his flesh grew rapidly with it, constantly quenching all parts of his body and mind.
Boom!
The seventh layer of the Refined Refinement Body was up!
tan san’s heart was enlightened.
He understood that under the impetus of that huge qi and blood force, he had quickly broken through the shackles of his physical body and was promoted to the seventh level of Body Refining.
It was only after a while that he opened his eyes.
“At this moment, my strength is more than double?
When I punch out, just the force popping out is enough to shatter mountains and crack rocks.”
tan san clenched his fist, feeling the vigor coming out of his body, just slightly shaking, it had even caused the air to distort, and there was some excitement in his heart.
But soon, his face regained its calmness.
Then, in a smooth manner, he took out the second Purple Bodhi and swallowed it in one gulp.
Then came the third one.
Boom!
The body cultivation level broke through once again, reaching the eighth level of Body Cultivation.
Then came the fourth.
As each Purple Bodhi was swallowed by him, the power of qi and blood in his body grew stronger and stronger, and his strength was terrifying.
Especially the strength of his fleshly body’s defense.
Although he hadn’t really tested it, he felt that he could be unafraid of normal magic weapon attacks with just his physical body strength.
Boom!
As the last Purple Bodhi was swallowed by him, his physical cultivation level actually broke through again, truly advancing to the ninth level of Body Refining.
It was on par with the Qi Practitioner cultivation level!
And by this time, his strength had truly reached its peak.
If he let go of his qi and blood, it was really like wolf smoke, rising a strong ‘burning cloud’.
Between every move, it contained a terrifying strength.
“I didn’t expect that just refining and absorbing these five Purple Bodhi.
A day and a night has passed.”
tan san looked at the sky outside and shook his head helplessly.
Then, he closed his eyes once again and began to utilize the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique, raising his state to the limit.
Several hours later.
The sky was once again bright.
It was only because of the poisonous mist shrouding the area that the surroundings were still gray.
tan san walked out of the cave and traveled along, quickly arriving on top of a peak in the Yellowstone Territory.
He looked at the opposite side.
It was eight hundred feet away from that one cliff, and its height was three hundred feet higher than his current position.
In other words, he needed to rise at least three hundred feet before he could successfully reach the top of the opposite cliff and fly out of the Divine Wind Valley from that place.
As tan san reached the top of the Yellowstone Territory, halfway down, a group of cultivators had also just walked out from their hidden caves.
If tan san had seen it, he would have definitely been able to recognize a few of the people in the group.
One of them was the Spider Silk Fairy, Chen Xiao-er, who had a brief encounter in the Phoenix Ming Dock Market and had met her several times since then.
One, on the other hand, was the beautiful woman, Feng Xue, who had appeared in the last black market auction.
As for the last one, she was also an old acquaintance of his.
The steward who had helped him collect the demon pills in the task hall, Du Ping.
This group of people, were clearly members of the Black Market Organization, only that for some reason, they had not gone to participate in the competition for the Thousand Year Enlightenment Tea Tea Leaves, but instead, they had also come to this Yellowstone Territory.
“Look, Aunt Snow, there is a cultivator standing there, what is he trying to do?”
Suddenly, Spider Fairy Chen Xiaoye caught a glimpse of tan san at the top of the mountain and said in astonishment.
“He couldn’t be trying to fly from here to, the top of the opposite cliff, could he?”
Seeing this, the other surrounding cultivators couldn’t help but voice out in surprise as well.
“This person, doesn’t seem to be a Foundation Establishment yet?
Can he fly over?”
Spider Fairy Chen Xiaoye couldn’t help but ask.
Feng Xue did not reply and also stared at that person, and at this time, the other party seemed to be somewhat aware and glanced at the direction they were in, and that gaze was like electricity, causing her gaze to shrink.
“He moved!”
Just as she was surprised, she heard a person beside her exclaim.
She hurriedly let her eyes look again, and she saw that the other party suddenly released a spirit insect at that moment, and with a gentle leap of his body, he stepped on top of that spirit insect.
Buzz!
That spirit bug, although its size was not big, but its power was very strong, it even flew up directly, carrying that one cultivator, directly leaping towards the opposite cliff.
“He actually, actually really wanted to fly to the opposite cliff?”
“This spirit insect, is the Golden Armored King Flying Cicada?
It’s only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, even if it flies over, can it block the flying demonic beasts around it?”
“It’s over!
Lifting off in front of flying demonic beasts, isn’t this a provocation?
Sure enough, all of a sudden, three giant eagles rushed over ……”
When the group of people saw this, they all immediately landed their gazes on that cultivator.
“He should have another means.
One can’t do something so crazy without a certain amount of certainty.”
Spider Fairy Chen Xiaoye couldn’t help but say.
The others didn’t open their mouths, but they agreed.
Sure enough.
Only that person’s fingers were seen pointing repeatedly.
Those three giant eagles that had only just approached were actually directly hit in the head, and one by one, they quickly planted themselves out of the void.
“What kind of spell is this? Gengjin Finger?
How dare you knock down three flying demonic beasts without even taking out a magic weapon?
Even though it’s only a first-grade middle-ranked demonic beast, it’s still too fast, isn’t it?”
One person immediately exclaimed in shock.
The others did not reply back.
Because by this time, there were more flying demonic beasts that rushed out.
Seven heads!
Three giant eagles, three white cranes, and one white pigeon.
Among them, there were three first-grade high-grade demonic beasts.
They then saw that person point out four fingers once again before flinging out three spirit talismans.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
They only saw those three thunderbolts, which ruthlessly struck those three first grade high rank demonic beasts, directly striking their skin and flesh, and quickly falling down towards the ground.
As for the other four flying demonic beasts, they also fell down at the same time, obviously struck by the Gungjin Finger and unable to pursue.
“This is a Sealing Thunder Talisman?
It’s the spirit talisman of Lord Feng Hua that appeared in the black market a few months ago.”
Spider Silk Fairy Chen Xiao’er spoke in surprise before continuing, “However, although this spirit talisman is beneficial, it can’t fly across the room with just the spirit talisman.
And with such a big commotion, the demonic beasts attracted won’t be few.”
Sure enough!
As these few demonic beasts fell, more flying demonic beasts, had rushed out.
Among them, there was clearly a Foundation Establishment demonic beast included.
“He’s finished!
A Foundation Establishment Realm demon.
Although it wasn’t that Flying Eagle, this Iron-winged Giant Eagle could be at the early level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It’s simply not something a Qi Practicing Stage cultivator can handle, this person is dead.”
“I thought it was an expert, but it turns out it’s just a reckless person!”
When the group of cultivators saw this, they immediately revealed a look of disappointment.
tan san was naturally not a reckless person!
Not long after he flew out with the help of the Golden Armored King’s Flying Cicada, he noticed the Foundation Establishment Great Demon.
Moreover, this Foundation Establishment Great Demon was clearly the one that had tracked him for a long period of time before, and after he had killed the first wave of Giant Eagles, this Foundation Establishment Great Demon had already rushed over.
It was only because of the long distance that it came along with the third wave of demonic beasts after he had finished off the second wave of flying demonic beasts.
In response, tan san’s face did not change in the slightest.
Since he had already stepped out, his mind had calmed down and he did not have the slightest fear.
With a thought, the three flying swords turned into streams of light and quickly rushed out.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
A head of flying demonic beasts, under the attack of his flying swords, blood spilled into the sky, and they all let out a mournful cry before quickly falling down.
Then there was that Foundation Establishment Great Demon.
The other party let out an eagle cry from its mouth, and its figure was like electricity as it quickly rushed over.
Seeing this, tan san hastily reached out and pointed.
Black Sky Technique!
Gravity Technique!
It was rushing to tan san’s immediate vicinity when its eyes went black, followed by its body sinking violently, directly crossing underneath the Golden Armored King Flying Cicada.
But even so, the other side of that huge body carries the strong wind, but still rushed tan san body shaking for a while.
The Golden Armored King Flying Cicada even seemed to be taken in by the other party’s breath, more slightly trembling down, the entire body is slightly tilted up.
Seeing this, tan san could only put away the Golden Armored King Flying Cicada, while he himself used the Flying Technique to continue flying towards the opposite cliff.
However, he had only flown out for a short while before the Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast spun back once again.
At the same time, a flying demonic beast in the surroundings either rushed in from amongst the Yellowstone Territory or flew in from the Pair Cliffs, all of them attacking him.
Little Five Elements Thousand Thunder Art!
Seeing this, tan san’s face remained unchanged, as endless dark clouds quickly converged, and endless thunder snakes, quickly condensed, then as he pointed forward!
Rumble!
The wind and clouds changed color, a thousand thunderbolts, quickly spilling down!
A mournful sound came out.
A head of flying demonic beasts, under the bombardment of thunderbolts, were instantly scorched black, and one by one, they also fell down towards the ground below.
Only a few flying demonic beasts with thick fur were able to barely resist.
“If I avoided you before, do you still think that I’m seriously afraid of you?
Since you’re looking for death, it’s not my fault!”
tan san looked at the Iron Winged Giant Eagle that was topping the thunder and lightning and was still madly charging towards him, and his eyes were filled with an icy cold color.
Spiritual energy surged within his body.
Black Sky Art! Gravity Technique!
Then, three Five Elements Thunder Transformation Arts in succession!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One hit its back, one hit above its wings, and one hit directly above its head.
Immediately afterward, the three flying swords flashed away like lightning.
Poof!
It directly pierced through its entire head.
Instantly, this Foundation Establishment Demonic Beast was directly decapitated by him, and as blood spilled out, its entire body also fell down towards the ground.
Seeing this, tan san’s figure moved and swiftly flew close to him, grabbing this Iron Winged Giant Eagle with one hand before flying towards the opposite cliff once again.
It was a shocking scene.
tan san grabbed the wings of the Foundation Establishment Demonic Beast with one hand and flew directly through the void.
It was full of shocking power.
The surrounding flying demonic beasts, which seemed to have also been stunned by such a scene, no longer dared to come closer, and were only sorrowfully chirping and angrily shrieking in the surroundings!
But they no longer dared to approach the slightest bit.
Until tan san successfully reached the opposite cliff, his figure flashed and disappeared!
