Elder Shen Nong

The surging Energy Tide lasted for ten days before gradually weakening, and it took another two days for the Energy Tide to completely dissipate.

"Laugh!"

Just as the Energy Tide dissipated, a golden light suddenly shot up from the huge pit, appearing from afar as if it pierced through the heavens and earth, a truly magnificent sight.

A golden pillar of light shot into the sky, and a figure slowly rose from it, then stepped through the void and gently landed on the ground.

As he landed, the pillar of light quickly dimmed and disappeared into the world.

"Eight- Dou Sheng..."

Mo Tang sensed the state within his body, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

It should be noted that this is a realm comparable to that of the patriarchs of the Lei and Yan clans. Although he is still lacking in the minor realm, once he reaches the same major realm, Mo Tang is no longer afraid of any of them.

"Unfortunately, all the energy I've painstakingly accumulated is gone again..."

There was no other way; after all, an eight- Dou Sheng was no ordinary being, requiring an enormous amount of energy. If it weren't for the help of the Ink Origin Pill provided by Gu Yuan, breaking through this time wouldn't have been so easy.

"I wonder what's going on outside these days. It seems like it's time to go out and take a look."

With these thoughts in mind, Mo Tang went straight to the Bodhi tree again, ready to say goodbye.

"Brother Tree, I have something to attend to, so I'll have to leave now. I'll come see you again next time," Mo Tang said, patting the tree trunk.

"Splash..."

"Wait... wait..."

The Bodhi Ancient Tree swayed its canopy and suddenly spoke.

"Uh... is there anything else, Brother Tree?"

The Bodhi Ancient Tree didn't speak, but a crack opened in its trunk, and then green specks of light flew out from within—there seemed to be more than a dozen...

"This is... Bodhi Seed?"

Mo Tang had previously obtained a lot of Bodhi Seed from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, but after so many days, apart from the ones he absorbed and transformed himself, the rest had all been distributed to those around him, and they had long been used up.

However, looking at the dozen or so Bodhi Seed, Mo Tang didn't accept them. Instead, he frowned and said, "Brother Tree, you only produce a few Bodhi Seed every thousand years. You've already given me dozens before. You should keep these..."

"Splash..."

"Oh?" Mo Tang frowned.

The information just received from the Bodhi Ancient Tree indicates that after receiving Mo Tang's Origin Qi, the Bodhi Ancient Tree has not only become more powerful, but has also produced a considerable number of Bodhi Seed. Therefore, he need not worry and can use them freely.

Does this mean we now have a machine for producing Bodhi Seed?

If others heard this news, they would be overjoyed, but for Mo Tang now, there was no excitement.

After all, a Bodhi Seed only contains a few thousand High-grade Energy, which is a drop in the ocean compared to what Mo Tang needs for upgrading, and is of little use.

However, it can be used by the girls around you, or it can be placed in the alliance as a reward.

Since it was all a kind gesture from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Mo Tang couldn't possibly refuse.

With a flick of his sleeve, a crack appeared in the space before him. Mo Tang stepped into it and then disappeared.

Upon returning to the Pill Region, the Pill Tower Ancestor, who had disappeared again after the Demonic Fire Space, reappeared.

However, judging from his aura, he seemed to have suffered a serious injury, perhaps even a loss of vital energy...

"What happened?" Mo Tang asked, somewhat surprised.

Before the Pill Tower Ancestor could speak, Old Monster Lin, the Pill Tower Grand Elder below, couldn't hold back any longer and said angrily, "It's the Soul Clan! The Soul Clan has attacked the Ancestor!"

"The Soul Clan?"

Mo Tang's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, the Soul Clan still had the mood to cause trouble for the Pill Tower Ancestor?

Although the level of the Pill Tower Ancestor at this time is enough to attract the attention of an eight- or nine-star Dou Sheng, coupled with his special characteristics, the Soul Clan would definitely be even more eager to obtain him.

At this moment, the Soul Clan should still be plotting against the Yao Clan, since the opening of the Pill Record is not far off. Therefore, according to Mo Tang's thinking, the Soul Clan should not make a move at this time.

Who is it?

Mo Tang asked in a deep voice.

At this moment, the experts of the Soul Clan should all be unable to spare any resources, and it would not be easy for the Pill Tower Ancestor, who was a late-stage six-star Dou Sheng, to injure him.

After all, if you can't beat him, you can always run away...

The Pill Tower Ancestor said weakly, "It's Hun Xuzi..."

"Hun Xuzi? How could it be him?" Mo Tang was even more surprised.

You should know that when he was in the Demonic Fire Space, Hun Xuzi suffered very serious injuries, and almost died...

Even if they manage to escape this ordeal for various reasons, it won't be possible to return to their peak condition in just one or two years.

"Unless, he obtained some kind of miraculous healing elixir that would allow his injuries to heal quickly."

After all, the other party is a Ninth Grade Alchemist, so it's normal for them to have some special, hidden elixirs...

Only...

The Pill Tower Ancestor spoke again, "That's not all!"

"Not only have his injuries healed, but his strength has also broken through again, making him a Seven-star Dou Sheng expert. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen for his trick!"

"Mid-stage Seven Stars?" Mo Tang raised an eyebrow. "Looks like this old guy still has quite a few good things in his hands..."

Should we do it to him again?

Mo Tang was somewhat tempted...

"If that's the case, how did you escape?" Mo Tang asked with a hint of curiosity.

A weathered smile suddenly flashed across the youthful face of the Pill Tower Ancestor. He said, "This is all thanks to an old friend. If he hadn't intervened in time, I probably would have been forced back to my original form by that Hun Xuzi..."

Mo Tang continued, "Oh? Who is it?"

"Elder Shen Nong..."

Mo Tang's heart stirred when he heard the name. Although it was the first time he had heard the name in this world, he was very familiar with the person.

After all, when Mo Tang was planning to acquire the Heavenly Flames, he recalled almost all the information about the people who possessed Heavenly Flames in the original work.

Elder Shen Nong is said to be a hermit who lived in seclusion in the Shennong Mountain Range.

It appeared in the Pill Record of the Yao Clan in the original work.

This person dislikes fighting but is passionate about alchemy. His alchemy skills are also very high; he can even refine pills of the Ninth Grade Profound Pill level.

What caught Mo Tang's attention the most was that he also possessed the Life Spirit Flame, Heavenly Flames ranked fifth on the Strange Heavenly Flame Ranking.

This fire is known as the fire of longevity, possessing a life force comparable to some Demonic Beast. However, its only regret is that it is not adept at combat...

The Life Spirit Flame doesn't significantly boost combat power, but it possesses boundless vitality. As long as seeds are planted within it, medicinal herbs can be obtained continuously.

It is also a very special existence among Heavenly Flames...
