Golden Spring and Immortal Soil

"Whoosh!"

It awakens the Heavenly Eye the eyebrows, allowing one to search carefully.

He quickly noticed a rather unusual light-gold stone about ten meters away, about the height of a person, so he took out his Iron Book and swung it down.

With a loud bang, the stone exploded.

There was nothing there.

Li Weiyi looked disappointed. "Without becoming Great Mind Master, the Heavenly Eye can only be considered as initially developed. It can only see the general outline and cannot be right every time."

There were many unusual light golden stones under the waterfall. Li Weiyi chopped down seventy or eighty of them, but found only three drops inside one of them.

Not even one bite is enough.

"That's impossible! Even if the Heavenly Eye can only see a little bit, it at least means the direction is right. There are so many stones here containing special energy, that's definitely not normal. How could there only be a few drops?"

Li Weiyi stopped to rest, looked up, and gazed at the darker golden stone wall several dozen feet above the ground beside the waterfall.

With a sudden thought, he stepped on the protruding part of the stone wall and leaped up.

"Bang!"

The Iron Book crashed down, chipping a large chunk from the stone wall, which then fell towards the bottom of the cliff.

Then came the second strike, the third strike...

The more you smash, the deeper you go, and golden light overflows from the depths of the cliff. If you touch it with your finger, your fingertip feels wet, and Spring Fluid is oozing out from inside.

Li Weiyi's heart pounded like thunder. He quickly took out the Magic Tool Treasure Bottle and dared not use the Iron Book recklessly anymore. Instead, he concentrated his magic power at his fingertips and pierced through the thin layer of stone wall.

Golden spring water, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, flows out.

The area where he was located was completely enveloped in golden light.

"Great! It came so easily, and there's a full tenth of a cubic meter of it. We can't possibly use it all, we simply can't use it all."

One cubic meter is equivalent to one thousand liters.

One hundred liters—that's more than you could use for tempering your Trace Meridians, let alone forging your bones.

The first thing he seized, the Golden Spring that helped him forge two Golden Meridian Lines, was only a little over one-tenth of a liter.

"This trip has been worthwhile."

Li Weiyi took out another iron bottle, filled it, and immediately stored the Magic Tool Treasure Bottle into his Blood Mud Space. What if Zuoqiu Baiming saw this? Wouldn't he then demand a split again?

He continued his search, smashing the entire cliff face, but naturally found nothing more.

Back at the foot of the cliff, Li Weiyi drank from the Golden Spring to temper the Trace Meridians within his body.

Tian Che and Zuoqiu Lanlan returned first, looking in surprise at the shattered, light golden cliff face before their eyes. Then, their gazes fell on Li Weiyi, who was sitting cross-legged.

Zuoqiu Lanlan looked displeased. "Sima Tan, the Zuoqiu Courtyard invited you here hoping you would help find and excavate the Immortal Soil. Have you gone to search for it?"

Li Weiyi, having forged seven Golden Meridian Lines with his new hammer, was in high spirits. He quickly stood up and replied cheerfully, "I've searched everywhere on this stone wall, but I haven't found it. What about you?"

Tian Che, being a kind-hearted man, shrugged and said, "Same here, nothing found. Immortal Soil is too hard to come by."

"I didn't find the Immortal Soil, but I did find half a bottle of Golden Spring. My luck is a bit better than yours. Come, come, share some with me, don't be shy." Li Weiyi was very warm and generous.

"There really is half a bottle left."

Tian Che took the iron bottle, opened it, and was quite shocked, but he didn't suspect that Li Weiyi was hiding something. Because the Golden Spring was hard to find, finding half a bottle at a time was already considered a lot.

Zuoqiu Lanlan's displeasure faded, replaced by a sense of embarrassment. After all, Sima Tan was truly frank and exceptionally generous.

Golden Spring was a good thing, and they didn't stand on ceremony, taking some with them.

Of course, the couple still had some sense of shame, so they only took one-fifth of the contents. Their feelings towards Li Weiyi improved significantly, and their previous estrangement and indifference disappeared.

Zuoqiu Lanlan expressed her intention to win him over, saying with a smile, "My wife and I have heard about your combat prowess in the Spring Realm. If the rumors are true, why would you choose to live in this dilapidated building of the Jiu Li Tribe? The Zuoqiu Courtyard would actually be a better choice."

Li Weiyi waved with a smile.

Tian Che said, "If Brother Sima has any concerns about incurring the envy of some people in the Zuoqiu Courtyard, you can also marry into the family like me... Haha, from now on we'll be family!"

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar echoed from the depths of the dense forest, causing the clouds and mist to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, Zuoqiu Baiming's short and loud whistle came from that direction.

The three of them suddenly stood up, looked at each other, and then used their movement techniques to rush off.

"Swish!"

Li Weiyi deliberately lagged behind Tian Che and Zuoqiu Lanlan by several feet.

As the sounds of battle drew closer, a large number of Bone Winged Bird monsters appeared in the ancient forest where the tree trunks were hundreds of meters high. They flew in flocks, their cries dense and shrill.

The Bone Winged Bird about three feet long, with a body made of flesh and blood, wings made of white bones burning with blue flames, and a sharp beak like a sword.

Looking at the Bone Winged Bird and the cloud of Yao Qi swooping down, Tian Che said, "It's a horde of demonic beasts from Tianya Ridge."

"Leave them to me! You all hurry and find Senior Brother Baiming; he must be in trouble."

Li Weiyi let out a long roar and threw the Iron Book in his hand.

"Swish!"

Thirty-five iron pages spun out, forming thirty-five small vortexes that sent the Bone Winged Bird that were intercepting Tian Che and Zuoqiu Lanlan crashing to the ground like rain of blood.

"What an amazing magical artifact."

Tian Che exclaimed in admiration and quickly headed with Zuoqiu Lanlan to the area where the battle was most intense.

Li Weiyi fought his way through the flock of birds for a while before Shang Zhi finally arrived.

After scattering the flock of birds, the two calmly made their way to the center of the battle.

Zuoqiu Baiming, wielding the Heavenly Flame Saber, was engaged in combat with a powerful Demon Race also wrapped in the Departed Spirit Human Skin. Both the human and the demon possessed high-level magical artifacts, and they completely flattened the forest, felling a large number of ancient trees.

Tian Che and Zuoqiu Lanlan were engaged in Demon Cultivator Five Seas Realm at the entrance of a valley.

Both husband and wife possessed Pure Immortal Body, worked in perfect harmony, and were incredibly powerful, yet they were only slightly at a disadvantage.

Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes, and in the distant dense forest valley, he saw the veins of celestial clouds and mist, secretly guessing that the battle was caused by the Immortal Soil.

"Let's go and lend them a hand. Tianya Ridge is bullying us too much, relying on their superior numbers of demons."

Shang Zhi drew his sword and charged towards the valley.

Li Weiyi followed closely behind, deliberately shouting, "Brother Tian, I'm here to help you! These Demon Cultivator dared to steal the Immortal Soil we found; they have absolutely no respect for the Zuoqiu Courtyard. We must teach them a lesson!"

Upon arriving, Li Weiyi, wielding the Iron Book, sent ape demons at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm flying.

He held back his power, only injuring the victim, not killing them outright.

He didn't want to reveal too much of his strength.

The ape demon was filled with resentment. "You Zuoqiu Courtyard are simply too barbaric and domineering! We clearly found this Immortal Soil in the valley first, yet you still turn around and blame us. Humans are truly shameless!"

Li Weiyi was stunned. He looked towards the figure wielding the Heavenly Flame Saber in the distance. Could it be that Zuoqiu Baiming wanted to seize Tianya Ridge?

Very good!

This is a perfect opportunity to fan the flames and drag Zuoqiu Courtyard.

Li Weiyi no longer held back, directly swinging his Iron Book to split the ape demon's head in two, and said coldly, "In the Southern Territory, the principles of the Zuoqiu Courtyard are the only principles."

Then, he charged at a black-haired dog demon at the Five Seas Realm, and after a few moves, beheaded it. "We've set our sights on the Immortal Soil of the valley. If you don't retreat quickly, we'll slaughter you all."

The Fox Demon expert who was fighting against Zuoqiu Baiming, seeing two of his own Five Seas Realm killed in succession, was filled with boundless hatred and gritted his teeth, saying, "Let's go, retreat first!"

The Demon Cultivator in the forest receded like a receding tide.

"Zuoqiu Baiming, this matter cannot be resolved. The Immortal Soil will be temporarily kept by you." Only after retreating deep into the dense forest did the Fox Demon's cold voice finally resound with viciousness.

"Impotent rage"

Zuoqiu Baiming smiled slightly, not taking it to heart, sheathed his sword, and walked towards the valley.

Li Weiyi knew he had been too obvious just now, and he was thinking about how to deal with Zuoqiu Baiming's anger.

But then they heard Zuoqiu Baiming's voice of praise, "Well done! This is how we should enhance the prestige of the Zuoqiu Courtyard. A bunch of demons dare to claim to be on par with Myriad Gate Families in the Southern Territory. They've gone too far! Your strength is indeed formidable; you're practically unmatched at the same level."

Li Weiyi wasn't sure if Zuoqiu Baiming had seen through his disguise. After a moment's hesitation, he gave his prepared explanation. "I was so angry when I saw Brother Tian and his wife being attacked that I lost control of my emotions!"

"It's alright."

Zuoqiu Baiming followed the contours of the Xianxia clouds and mist into the valley.

Shang Zhi secretly gave Li Weiyi a thumbs up and transmitted his voice with his spiritual energy. "What these young masters care about most is the actual benefits they receive. Secondly, it's their reputation. Those two shouts you made might just be exactly what he wanted to say. This Zuoqiu Baiming is an extremely arrogant person. In his eyes, he is the best in the world in the Thirty-three Li Mountain."

For some reason, Li Weiyi felt uneasy, as if Zuoqiu Baiming had been looking at him and Shang Zhi like they were dead ever since they entered the mountains.

Deep in the valley, the three men from Zuoqiu Courtyard were already digging for sacred soil.

The spiritual soil on the ground is three colors: blue, black, and yellow, and it covers an area of about ten feet in diameter.

Tian Che placed a boundary bag on the ground and continuously filled it with the spirit soil he had dug out.

The Boundary Bag is also made from the lungs of martial arts practitioners, but it cannot contain living creatures, making it less difficult to refine.

After digging half a foot deep in the center, Zuoqiu Baiming immediately told Tian Che to stop.

He walked over himself, dug away the soil, and immediately a four-colored glow emanated from below, revealing a four-colored soil that was both crystal clear and had the stickiness of earth.

"Almost a pound, that's great!"

Zuoqiu Baiming was very excited. He didn't want to miss a single grain of Immortal Soil. He used his magic energy to collect it all and put it into another realm bag. Then he said, "You two hurry up and help. Dig up all the spiritual soil. This stuff can make medicinal herbs grow ten times faster."

After Li Weiyi and Shang Zhi joined in, they dug up hundreds of kilograms of spiritual soil in less than half an hour.

The five people walked quickly towards the valley entrance.

Li Weiyi sniffed the air and noticed a subtle change. He immediately stopped, held his breath, and channeled his magical power into his eyes. Instantly, he saw tiny, almost imperceptible gray particles in the air.

Looking back into the depths of the valley, there were no such gray particles.

In other words, it just drifted in from the mouth of the valley.

"Something's not right! There's something in the air, gray liquid particles," Li Weiyi warned the others.

The four of them simultaneously activated their magical powers to observe. Zuoqiu Baiming's expression changed drastically. "It's the Earth Spirit Grey Mist from Coffin Mountain! Quickly hold your breath!"

The voice of the powerful Fox Demon from Tianya Ridge echoed from the valley entrance, "Too late! Zuoqiu Baiming, arrogance comes at a price."

"There's no Zuoqiu Courtyard in Thirty-three Li Mountain, only the law of the jungle." Another voice came from above the valley, echoing endlessly.
