Within the barrier, the Heavenly Medicine fled, like a streak of fire sweeping across space. It was fiery red, its shape resembling some kind of seaweed, flowing with a hazy red light, and dodged the giant demon's massive hand several times.

There was also a blue-green herb, its four leaves wilted and sickly, drooping, but it left a trail of shadows every time it moved, repeatedly avoiding the blockade of the ancient immortal.

"Monster, release that celestial herb, let me handle it!" Chen Yongjie caused trouble, shouting outside the barrier and desperately bombarding the light screen with the Soul Locking Bell.

Just as he was passing by, the great demon, who was almost about to succeed, slapped him across the face that was pressed against the barrier. The sound was deafening, and the barrier only trembled slightly.

"Didn't you eat? You can't even hit my face, you useless demon!" Chen Yongjie's face was still pressed against the barrier. Even though he was being attacked, he still looked down at his opponent and provoked him.

Even Wang Xuan couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that if it were him, he would definitely want to slap that face a few times. It was too deserving of a beating.

It must be said that the great demon was very well-mannered. He had long, black hair, with a golden feather as a hairpin in his hair bun. He glanced coldly at Old Chen, silently turned around, and then sat down on the barrier.

Chen Yongjie was stunned, then let out a strange cry, he was furious. The demon was right in front of him, and even though there was a barrier between them, it still made him feel disgusted. He kept jumping up and down.

"Foolish monster, are you courting death?"

Of course, this had the desired effect; the red herb escaped capture.

"Hurry up, Tianyao is about to be captured. I can't delay any longer. Damn it, I've already paid too high a price by getting my face slammed by the Ancient Giant Demon's ass!" Chen Yongjie urged secretly.

Inside the barrier, the two celestial herbs were hiding and dodging. Even though the Medicine Garden was large, they were quickly blocked and were on the verge of collapse.

Wang Xuan waved the God Slaying Banner more than a dozen times, killing four dragon-like monsters and several hundred-eyed raptors. After locking onto a celestial herb with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, he prepared to make his move.

"It's here! This is the perfect opportunity!" Chen Yongjie's heart was pounding. The thriving medicinal plant, resembling fiery red seaweed, had panicked and fled to this area again.

With a bang, it crashed into the barrier, very close to Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie, separated only by a layer of hazy Light Mist.

"Call out!"

Wang Xuan acted decisively, gripping the fishing line tightly and casting the hook out. The hook pierced through the barrier and instantly snagged the rare, bright red plant that exuded a faint fragrance.

Then, Chen Yongjie's eyes widened in disbelief. He had missed! How could he have missed at such close range? This was a disgrace to anglers!

"I'll do it!" He didn't know if it was a surge of hot blood or a rush of anger to his head, but he couldn't stand it. It was unforgivable that he couldn't catch the fish even at such close range.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; Wang Xuan decisively threw it at him!

He was indeed ashamed. He had fished for enemies in his spare time, but rarely for real fish. He had the desire to fish, but not the skill.

Chen Yongjie was different. When he worked at the design institute's subsidiary company in Old Earth and was Wang Xuan's boss, he went fishing every noon and was a true veteran angler.

Whoosh!

The fishing hook twirled and flew, tracing a graceful trajectory as it chased after the prey!

The red celestial herb, along with a large expanse of crimson light, flew away from the barrier once again, and was almost caught by the Ancient Giant Demon.

At this critical moment, the fishing hook, with its crystalline thread, pierced through the void with a whoosh, arriving first and hooking the roots of the celestial medicine.

The giant demon with golden feathers as its hairpin had almost reached the celestial medicine, and it was within its grasp. But then its eyes widened, and it let out a deep roar. Fine lines spread from its fingertips, as if trying to lock the rare divine object away.

However, with a whoosh, the fishing line and hook were too special; like floating light, they disappeared without a trace. Old Chen pulled them out of the barrier and grabbed the fiery red celestial medicine that was struggling to escape.

"Haha, this is the spirit of fishermen, the soul of fishermen, never give up, never go home empty-handed!" He laughed heartily while holding a two-foot-long, fragrant medicinal herb.

Inside the barrier, a group of ancient immortals and giant demons stared helplessly at each other. This feeling was too unpleasant; they had been outmaneuvered! The Transcendent Immortals were furious and all rushed over, bombarding the hazy Light Mist, but they couldn't make a dent at all.

"Excellent craftsmanship!" Wang Xuan exclaimed. If it weren't for Old Chen, he himself might have been anxiously waiting without being able to catch this heavenly herb.

"The title of 'Fishing God' wasn't given lightly. I'm quite famous in the industry. I'm known as the Lonely Invincible, Fishing Alone in the Snowy River for a Thousand Years." Old Chen said smugly, stuffing the Heavenly Herb into Wang Xuan's arms, and preparing to fish for the second one.

A group of Ancient Giant Demon and immortals, their eyes red, stared at him, on guard. They completely severed the void between him and the blue celestial herb, forming a human wall to block him and give him no chance.

"What do you mean? You're being rude. Be careful, or I'll hook you up. You, you Demoness, get out of the way, or I'll hook you out."

However, the threat was useless. The Demoness who blocked his way walked gracefully, licked her red lips, and made a throat-slitting gesture at him, completely unconcerned.

"Yes, keep provoking me, I'll search more carefully." Wang Xuan suspected that there might still be rare herbs in the ancient medicine garden that hadn't come out yet.

His Spiritual Heavenly Eye was fully open, its texture dense, sweeping across every inch of the land.

This Medicine Garden is very large, and it is evident that a large number of Spiritual Great Medicine were cultivated there in the past. There are many different kinds, and many medicinal fields have been planned. Even if they are rare herbs, there are probably more than just one or two plants.

"There really is one?!" Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Under the soil, at the very bottom, there was a medicinal herb that looked like Cactus.

Its entire body is almost transparent, like crystal, with protruding thorns and thick leaves, like an outstanding work of art crafted by a master.

In addition, nearby, there was a dull, withered tree root with an Iron Stake as thick as a baby's arm nailed into it. Judging from its shape, it looked like a large iron nail, piercing through the core of the ancient tree root.

Wang Xuan was deeply moved. The Iron Stake was engraved with intricate patterns, like a restriction, and it was actually used to pierce the root of a tree.

"Could it be the root of a celestial herb? It has a very powerful origin, and it's been imprisoned like this?"

If that's the case, the person who did it back then was ruthless enough to prefer it to wither and die here rather than let it go; that's a bit selfish.

"Old Chen, there are two more medicinal plants underground, one dead and one alive. Are you confident you can fish them out at the same time?" Wang Xuan transmitted his voice.

"As long as I can grasp the distribution of the fish when drawing the map, I'll be right every time!" Chen Yongjie said confidently.

"What are those two bastards doing? My God, they've captured a celestial herb and are having people gang up on them. Kill them!" Qi Liandao appeared in the distance, surrounded by several demons.

"This is truly a heavenly medicine, unbelievable! How could they have gotten their hands on it? We'll risk it all. We need to gather more people, and most importantly, attract some ferocious monsters to act as free henchmen to attack them." A powerful demon whispered, filled with jealousy and resentment towards the two for obtaining the heavenly medicine, and was planning a ruthless attack.

However, Qi Liandao himself retreated and ran away, not following suit, because he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Awooo..." With a spiritual roar, a rotting dragon-shaped monster leaped up from the ground of City of Lightning. It was too powerful, sweeping away everything in its path. No one could withstand it. Even Supernatural Practitioner in the early stage of the Carefree Journey was blown apart by its tail.

"Holy crap, it's here! It's coming for us!" Before Old Chen could even cast his hook, the rotting spiritual remains charged at him.

Upon closer inspection, it is not a real dragon, but a large worm with no scales or horns, but four claws that spew viscous fluid that can instantly corrode a person's primordial spirit.

"Never mind all that, focus on fishing... fishing for the Heavenly Medicine, I'll deal with it!" Wang Xuan stuffed the fiery red Heavenly Medicine into the Soul Locking Bell, placed it on Old Chen's head, and said, "This is a mature Heavenly Medicine, it can help you enter the Carefree Journey and Unfettered Realm in the short term!"

Chen Yongjie's eyes lit up with blue light from the stimulation. The fishing line in his hand swung, and the hook dangled back and forth. The Transcendent Immortals within the equally stimulating barrier stared at him fiercely. Did he still want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth? Dream on!

"Monk, try catching another one! If you succeed again, I'll give you anything!" The giant demon with golden feathers in his head spoke, his eyes opening and closing, flashing with demonic light. He had his eye on Old Chen and wanted to take the fishing line and hook.

If he really catches you, who's fishing for whom? He'll drag the other person in and take them both, along with the Heavenly Medicine!

Chen Yongjie initially ignored him, but after this damned demon sat on his face, he felt very uncomfortable and disliked him, so he didn't want to talk.

But the giant demon provoked him, calling him "monk" repeatedly.

Old Chen grew impatient and said, "You're the monk, your whole family are monks! If I catch a celestial herb, how about you become my apprentice? You'll do whatever I say, and listen to me from now on!"

"Alright!" the giant monster smiled faintly.

Chen Yongjie felt that this did not seem to be a good demon.

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a fierce wind howled. Wang Xuan used the God Slaying Banner to disperse more than a dozen waves of lightning. In this area, there were not only monsters and spiritual ghouls, but also dense lightning bolts. The massive clouds and the brain constructed by the city were activated, making it even more terrifying.

The Great Bug arrived and engaged in a fierce battle with Wang Xuan. It was ridiculously powerful, causing Wang Xuan's arm to go numb. Could this be close to the level of a peerless master?

Its viscous spitting out is particularly disgusting and can easily corrode the primordial spirit.

This is still the result of being suppressed by the ceiling of the present world. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to kill the Transcendent Immortals so easily, would it?

Wang Xuan activated the God Slaying Banner, using its Energy Substance to destroy the slime. The banner finally struck it, slicing it into a sausage-like shape.

After its tail broke off, it roared in pain and actually... ran away, instead of fighting to the bitter end.

Wang Xuan coldly looked in one direction, and several demons at the early stage of the Carefree Journey changed their expressions, hiding among the monsters and fleeing immediately.

"That divine banner is too powerful. Holding it in your hand is practically unbeatable. Even that Bug Dragon couldn't stop it. It's outrageous!"

"As expected of an ancient divine artifact second only to the Supreme Treasure!" Several demons sighed and fled, unwilling to fight Wang Xuan.

Before the barrier, Chen Yongjie circled the area, staring at the blue-green celestial herb that was trying to escape in the ancient herb garden, seemingly looking for an opportunity to strike.

The giant monster didn't get too close, giving him ample opportunity to cast his fishing line, in order to lure him into making a move, and then grab the fishing line to lure Old Chen away!

As long as he didn't block the barrier too close, everything was fine. Chen Yongjie circled around for a while before suddenly making his move. The Transcendent Immortals were stunned. This foolish human, did he slip up? Where did he cast the fishing hook? It was way off course.

"Quickly, stop him!" The giant demon, who used a golden feather as a hairpin in his hair bun, shouted immediately, signaling the people in that area to take action.

Those who possess the ability to "Fishing Heart" understand each other best. They instinctively sense that something is wrong, but they are too far away from the situation and are hindered by others.

"Too late, you don't understand the realm of the fishing god!" Chen Yongjie chuckled, quickly reeling in the line. With a whoosh, the line hooked onto a dead tree root, and a nearly transparent Cactus- like celestial herb was still entangled in the line.

"There are even celestial medicines?!" In the ancient medicine garden, a group of people went mad, unleashing all sorts of magical treasures and a dense barrage of attack spells.

It was indeed too late. Before fishing for the medicinal herb, Chen Yongjie had already chosen the best fishing spot and calmly and steadily brought the medicinal herb out of the barrier.

Even the most accomplished experts in the Supernatural Domain were no longer able to remain calm. Some roared, while others swore. The feeling of being outmaneuvered twice in a row was indescribable; it made them feel incredibly miserable, as if their chests were about to explode.

"Disciple, I reluctantly accept!" Chen Yongjie exclaimed, overjoyed!

However, the next moment, his face turned pale, his primordial spirit trembled, and he almost dropped the heavenly medicine in his hand. His whole body went limp and he had no strength left.

This is a kind of spiritual shock, like hundreds of large iron hammers smashing on a person's head, causing excruciating pain to the soul, which is difficult to resist.

Even Wang Xuan felt as if the sky was pressing down on him, his back was about to be bent. He turned around with difficulty, holding the God Slaying Banner, to face the creature.
