The three Shan Xiao behind him were exceptionally powerful, each one possessing a much stronger aura than the previous one.

Chen Wang did not engage in a fierce battle with him, but instead chose to avoid his sharp edge.

There's no need for these three monstrous beasts to fight a bloody battle in this Desolate Mountain.

He came out to gain combat experience, not to have a life-or-death battle.

Chen Wang moved quickly, and the three-headed Shan Xiao failed to catch him despite his all-out running.

One of them growled and suddenly increased its speed, lunging at Chen Wang's back with a claw! Chen Wang's Qi and Blood suddenly surged, and his speed increased as well, allowing him to shake it off.

The Shan Xiao roared in anger!

After several twists and turns, Chen Wang back, but the three-headed Shan Xiao was nowhere to be seen.

"Um?"

This time, it was Chen Wang who was stunned. The three-headed Shan Xiao moved extremely fast and was aggressive, not the kind of creature that would give up easily.

Why did he suddenly leave?

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow, turned his head and looked around, and found that he had entered a valley with many towering ancient trees around him.

The place was filled with Yin Qi. Chen Wang probed the area slightly, extending his spiritual power to see if there was anything ahead.

"There couldn't be some powerful Demon Beast that made the three-headed Shan Xiao retreat, could there?" Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

The next moment, his mental energy suddenly sensed a powerful consciousness.

It was filled with a fierce aura, retreating at the slightest touch; the open spiritual energy instantly dissipated! "A pool!"

Chen Wang was startled, but without hesitation, he immediately turned and left! The last image his mental energy transmitted was of a pool of water, and the last consciousness he came into contact with was extremely powerful and exuded a fierce aura! "What exactly is in the pool?"

Chen Wang felt a chill run down his spine, turned around and left without going in to check.

Clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Be steady when you need to be steady, and be adventurous when you need to be adventurous.

After Chen Wang left, a dark shadow flashed by underwater, and it looked extremely large.

"There are indeed many dangerous places in these mountains, so I still need to be careful," Chen Wang thought to himself.

He quickly determined his location, then turned and left, remaining vigilant at all times.

Sensing the location of the three-headed Shan Xiao, lest they be targeted by these three ferocious creatures.

After Chen Wang left, a figure appeared in the valley. It was a man wearing a bamboo hat, moving quietly.

If Chen Wang saw him, he would recognize him as the stall owner with the Golden Dragon Hairpin hairpin.

Previously, when the Golden Dragon Hairpin was unleashed, experts from cultivation Lineage died instantly without even having time to react.

The man wearing a straw hat tiptoed and concealed his presence as he made his way to the edge of the pool.

Beside the pool grew a fruit tree, shaped like an apricot, emitting a faint fluorescent glow.

It grows among some bushes. When Chen Wang first explored this place, he hadn't had time to examine it in detail before his mental power was shattered by that powerful consciousness, and he immediately chose to leave.

The man wearing a straw hat held his breath and made no sound; he concealed his breathing very well.

He quietly walked towards the pool, intending to pick the spirit medicine herb.

"Fire Apricot, a rare and precious treasure that can improve one's constitution after consumption, I must get my hands on it this time!" the stall owner thought to himself.

In the Cultivation World, treasures that can improve one's cultivation aptitude are extremely rare; Spirit Root determines the upper limit of cultivation.

However, this Fire Apricot can improve the quality of Spirit Root. Once it spreads, it will surely attract many experts to fight over it.

Chen Wang had been using Gene Serum to increase his affinity for Fire Element spiritual power; his original Spirit Root remained unchanged.

The general consensus is that Spirit Root are very difficult to change and cannot be controlled by elixirs, unless they are rare and precious treasures.

This Fire Apricot is one of them.

The stall owner wearing a straw hat is named Ling Fei, and he was born into a small, poor cultivation Lineage.

This Lineage has fallen into decline, and by his time he was no longer even a cultivator, but mingled among the mortals.

Later, he saw these things in the family genealogy and found some cultivation Cultivation Method left by his Old Ancestor, thus entering the Cultivation World.

He was quite talented, and coupled with his boldness and meticulousness, he found quite a few interesting things.

They trade with their left hand and sell with their right, exchanging these for resources.

Now in his fifties, he looks like a young man.

A few days ago, I was setting up a stall here and heard that there was a tomb of the Green Crane True Immortal. Based on my experience, I was certain that there must be a pit in the tomb of the Green Crane True Immortal.

However, he was a highly professional Tomb Raider, with extensive knowledge of various formations and layouts.

Therefore, he first went to Red Cloud Sect Market to find out the situation and try his luck, but unexpectedly he got into a feud.

She was targeted by the Wei Family Lineage, a cultivation clan, and even had her Golden Dragon Hairpin exposed.

Ling Fei stayed in the mountains for a few days, avoiding the Wei Family family, but unexpectedly found the location of this Fire Apricot.

They had come in once before, but found something terrifying in the pool and returned empty-handed.

This time I was more careful, using Talisman Paper to conceal my presence, intending to collect this Fire Apricot.

"The value of treasures that can improve one's Spirit Root is immeasurable; I must obtain them," Ling Fei murmured to himself, praying for his ancestors' blessings.

But when he got within ten meters of the Fire Apricot tree, a sudden, frantic warning flashed in his mind.

He held his breath and stopped for a moment.

At this moment, the water surface trembled, and a large snake rose upright from the water!

The giant snake was entirely black and white, with a faint bulge on its head. Its aura was extremely powerful, and its vertical pupils were icy cold as it stared coldly at Ling Fei.

Ling Fei's heart skipped a beat. "Something's not right! There's no reason why this thing should be alerted!"

The Talisman Paper he held, which concealed his aura, was a high-grade item, and according to his observation, this thing rarely surfaced in the water.

But what he didn't know was that Chen Wang had already made some noise when he came in, and had also disturbed the giant snake in the water by using his mental power to investigate.

This giant snake is extraordinary; it possesses a trace of dragon blood within it and shows a tendency to transform into a dragon.

When the level of cultivation is reached, the protrusion on its head will become a pair of dragon horns.

Having already been alerted by Chen Wang, it reacted exceptionally quickly at this moment.

Ling Fei, stared at by those icy, vertical pupils filled with cold energy, broke out in a cold sweat and immediately retreated! A large snake, its body entirely black and white, gently twisted its body.

That's all.

But this tiny movement stirred up some water, which then shot through the air!

Ling Fei immediately summoned a high-grade Talisman Paper, and a blue light appeared on his body! However, these seemingly ordinary streams of water tore the Talisman Paper to shreds the moment they landed on it! Pfft!

Ling Fei coughed up blood, stumbled, and turned pale! He was horrified and, without even looking behind him, immediately sped up!

But the giant snake seemed to have no intention of killing. It stood upright, coldly watching Ling Fei escape, before sinking into the pool.

Ling Fei had just escaped the valley when a chilling aura swept through the air.

He sensed an alarm and hurriedly dodged to the side, but his shoulder was still injured, and with a "plop," it was covered in blood!

He clutched his wound, looked up, and saw that it was the young master of the Wei Family who had fought him earlier.

There was also a fellow cultivator accompanying him.

The young master gave a cold laugh, "You've made me search so hard."

Ling Fei's heart sank. Of all times, he had to be targeted at this moment! He had killed the cultivators from the Wei Family, thus creating enmity between them. He never expected that this young master was still in the mountains.
