Zhurong Demon God! Twenty-Fourth Update!

"The mountain where the third-tier spirit medicine are located has extremely strong restrictions. Even if you are not an expert who is proficient in restrictions, or if many experts break through them, it may take ten days Half Moon to reach the top of the mountain and collect the spirit medicine."

Lu Qingfeng held the Jade Slip and examined the map.

The map created by the Sunset Glow Sect uses the nine Revival Fruit Trees as a reference point in the upper level of the Hundred Herbs Garden, and marks the size of many peaks and the spirit medicine growing there.

However, the Hundred Herbs Garden covers a vast area of thousands of miles and can only be reached on foot.

Even though the Sunset Glow Sect discovered the entrance to the Hundred Herbs Garden more than 300 years ago, they have only entered about 30 times since then. They know quite a bit, but only a limited amount.

For example, spirit medicine.

Several of the main and auxiliary ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, as well as many auxiliary ingredients for refining the Longevity Pill, are not marked on the Jade Slip map.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Qingfeng requested to enter the Hundred Herbs Garden.

"The higher the mountain, the stronger the restriction, and the higher the grade of the spirit medicine."

Lu Qingfeng descended from Earth Pear Fruit Mountain and continued onward.

This time, he bypassed the small hill and chose a large one. He still used the 'Grand Luo Insight' technique to break the restrictions. Even stronger restrictions couldn't stop his Divine Ability power from seeing through them. Step by step, Lu Qingfeng broke through the restrictions and reached the summit.

[Spirit medicine: Frostmist Grass]

[Grade: Tier 2]

[Note: Contains the essence of cold energy. When placed in the Dantian during cultivation, it can prevent external demonic invasion. It can be used to refine healing and cultivation-aiding pills such as the Cold-Origin Pill and the Clearheart Pill.]

"Second-tier spirit medicine, Frostmist Grass".

"Good."

Lu Qingfeng stepped forward and picked the Frostmist Grass.

This Frostmist Grass is a small, white, downy grass with five leaves on one stem, entirely white. There are five Frostmist Grass on the mountain, each worth a little over four Spirit Stones.

Lu Qingfeng arrived from the Earth Pear Fruit Mountain and spent only a little over half an hour collecting the Frostmist Grass and storing it in his Storage Bag. Including the time spent collecting the Earth Pear Fruit, it only took half an hour in total.

In half an hour, he acquired nearly six Spirit Stones worth of spirit medicine. There is no place in the world where making money is easier than the Hundred Herbs Garden.

"Continue!"

Lu Qingfeng became interested and kept walking, crossing one mountain after another, collecting each spirit medicine in his possession.

The Hundred Herbs Garden is abundant with first-tier spirit medicine, and low hills dot the landscape. Second-tier spirit medicine are less common, accounting for only about two or three tenths of the first-tier spirit medicine. Third-tier spiritual spirit medicine are even rarer, comprising only one or two tenths of the second-tier spirit medicine.

Different spirit medicine grow in different environments and in different mountains.

Unlike other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, their speed in gathering spirit medicine is roughly equal to their speed in breaking through restrictions.

Normally, it takes half a day to a day to break the restrictions on a first-tier medicine mountain. Second-tier medicine mountain restrictions take three to five or six days, and sometimes, if you encounter a tricky one, it can take ten days or more. For third-tier medicine mountains, ten days to Half Moon, or even one or two, is quite normal.

While the difficulty increases, the greater the skill in creating restrictions, the greater the reward. If one lacks knowledge of restrictions, then the first-tier medicine mountain offers the best value.

For Lu Qingfeng, the speed at which he collected spirit medicine depended on his speed of travel and mountain climbing.

The restrictions could not stop him at all.

Thus, a first-tier medicinal mountain can collect first-tier spirit medicine herbs more quickly, while a third-tier medicinal mountain, due to its height and large area, can collect third-tier spirit medicine much more slowly.

All things considered, it's possible that collecting first-tier spirit medicine yields a higher profit.

First-tier spirit medicine, even outside the Hundred Herbs Garden, can be easily collected with Spirit Stones. On the contrary, third-tier spirit medicine are rare in the Gathering Cloud Mountains.

Lu Qingfeng naturally knew what to choose and what to discard.

Targeting only third-tier medicinal mountains, Lu Qingfeng collected a considerable number of third-tier spirit medicine in just a few days.

A third-tier medicinal herb mountain contains between two or three and four or five third-tier spirit medicine. At the midpoint, its value is approximately fifteen Spirit Stones. If the cultivators of the Hundred Herbs Garden can break through the restrictions of a third-tier medicinal herb mountain and collect the spirit medicine within half a month, they will break even.

The more days you arrive early, the more Spirit Stones you can earn in net profit.

Similarly, the number of days late will determine the amount of Spirit Stones to be compensated.

Lu Qingfeng can climb a third-tier medicinal mountain in half an hour.

However, considering the time spent collecting spirit medicine and traveling between mountains, given the scarcity of third-tier medicinal mountains, one can only traverse about one or two third-tier medicinal mountains, two or three second-tier medicinal mountains, and three to five first-tier medicinal mountains in a day, excluding cultivation and rest time.

He quickly accumulated a large number of spirit medicine of various grades.

This day.

Lu Qingfeng descended from a second-tier medicinal mountain and headed towards another second-tier medicinal mountain ahead.

After walking for a short while, a cold wind howled through the forest, and Lu Qingfeng felt a rustling sound in the woods, and a sinister feeling suddenly enveloped him.

"What kind of sorcerer are you?!"

Lu Qingfeng stood still and shouted in a deep voice.

There was no response from the forest, but suddenly a presence rapidly approached. A flash of green light, Lu Qingfeng saw that a Greenback Centipede more than three meters long had darted out from among the thorns in the forest.

[Demon Race: Greenback Centipede]

[Grade: Fifth Tier]

[Description: Capable of spitting poisonous mist, with sharp fangs and a hard shell]

Like the Primordial World, the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers are home to humankind. Those with intelligence other than humans are generally categorized as Demon Race. The Demon Race is a general term, not a single, unified entity. They can be further subdivided into those with feathers, fur, scales, vegetation, and so on.

The Demon Beast is merely a name used by humans to refer to uncivilized or Demon Races that have retained their demonic forms and have never transformed into human form; in reality, they also belong to the category of Demon Races.

The Greenback Centipede in front of me is clearly Demon Race that has retained its demonic form.

"Greenback Centipede!"

Seeing the green shadow approaching and spewing out a large cloud of poisonous mist from its mouth, Lu Qingfeng immediately retreated. As he retreated, a figure remained in his place—

It has the head of an animal and the body of a human, covered in red scales, with fire snakes piercing its ears and riding on a fire dragon!

Demonic flames surged to the heavens!

It was Zhurong, the demon god of fire, who was created by Lu Qingfeng by collecting the thoughts of all the demon gods in the heavens using the "Twelve Dutian Demon God Method".

The appearance of the Zhurong Demon God immediately startled the Greenback Centipede. "A brat from the Sanyuan Demon Sect?"

The Gods and Devils flames were fierce and his Devil Qi was pure, clearly making him a genuine member of the demonic Demon Dao.

"The Sanyuan Demon Sect?"

Lu Qingfeng, standing behind, understood that the Greenback Centipede had mistaken him for Demon Dao cultivator from the Sanyuan Demon Sect Demonic Sect because of the Zhurong Demon God. He didn't explain, simply standing quietly behind the Zhurong Demon God, letting the demon do as it pleased.

The Greenback Centipede spoke in human language, yet its attacks continued relentlessly.

Poisonous fog filled the air, enveloping the Zhurong Demon God. He then lunged forward, preparing to attack at close range.

If Demon Race cultivator transforms into human form, they refine their demon body into an extremely powerful and unpredictable natal magic Law Artifact. If they retain their demon body, they train it to be extremely strong, with their physical body itself becoming Law Artifact.

Do not rely on external sources.

This Greenback Centipede is clearly the same.

"Roar!"

The Zhurong Demon God sensed the poisonous fog and was instantly enraged, roaring with its beast-like head. Fiery snakes around its ears and fire dragons beneath its feet Dutian Blazing Fire, instantly burning the poisonous fog away completely.

"Such powerful flames!"

"The Crimson Origin Demon Sect?"

The Greenback Centipede probed with words and attacked relentlessly. As the poisonous mist dissipated, it carried the Dutian Blazing Fire to the Zhurong Demon God.
