Jade Flat Peach

A continuous, undulating red mountain range, with Crimson Fire Cloud floating high in the sky.

A deafening explosion rang out, and a huge, conspicuous red mushroom cloud shot into the sky.

Deep in the mountains, Shen Long stood in an open area, with Iron Tail Scorpion and Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada beside him. Hundreds of thousands of Spirit Ant floated in mid-air, and a large number of Four-Winged Fire Ant corpses were scattered on the ground, along with some Golden-Winged Fire Ant. Three huge Four-Winged Fire Ant lay on the ground, each with a huge blood hole in its head, lifeless.

Shen Long did not expect to encounter a group of Four-Winged Fire Ant. There were as many as three fourth-tier Four-Winged Fire Ant, all of which were killed by the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen.

He had twelve late-stage Third Rank Four-Winged Fire Ant. Compared to Third Rank Golden-Winged Fire Ant, these twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant were faster and had stronger defenses.

Shen Long released the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox, which came to the corpses of the fourth-tier Four-Winged Fire Ant, sniffed them a few times, and memorized their scent.

There are too many restrictions here. The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada cannot see very far, and Shen Long's Divine Sense is also somewhat limited, only able to extend outwards by 150 miles.

He collected the corpse of the high-level Four-Winged Fire Ant and put the Spirit Ant back into his Spirit Beast Bag.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox moved westward, Iron Tail Scorpion quickly followed, with Shen Long and the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada close behind.

After a short while, Shen Long appeared in an underground cave that covered more than ten acres, where heat was intense.

The rock face is uneven, and some golden-red spots can be seen.

Shen Long picked up a fist-sized piece of ore and examined it closely.

"Golden Flame Jade, it's actually a material used for refining weapons."

Shen Long nodded and released the Spirit Ant, which flew to the stone wall and began to gnaw at it.

The Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen and the twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant had excellent teeth and quickly bit off a large piece of Golden Flame Jade, swallowing it whole. The eating speed of the Third Rank Golden-Winged Fire Ant was clearly not as fast as that of the Four-Winged Fire Ant.

Shen Long unleashed his Purple Spider Blade, slashing it against the stone wall, producing a dull thud as metal clashed.

Fifteen minutes later, the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen let out a piercing hiss and spewed out a large spray of Golden Flame, which landed on a stone wall. The stone wall showed signs of melting, and twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant came to help.

Shen Long was somewhat surprised. It seemed that the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen had discovered something good. What could it be that could excite it so much?

With the efforts of twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant and Golden-Winged Fire Ant, a golden crystal soon came into Shen Long's view.

Inside the golden crystal, one can see a ball of Golden Flame, like a raging inferno.

"Golden Flame Crystal!"

Shen Long was overjoyed.

Golden Flame Jade can be used to refine fire-attribute Law Treasure, while Golden Flame Crystal can be used to refine Spirit Treasure, making it far more valuable than Golden Flame Jade.

The Golden Flame Jade vein might produce Golden Flame Crystal, and I never expected to find them here.

Shen Long used the Purple Spider Blade to cut a piece of ore the size of a millstone from the stone wall. It needed to be refined to obtain the Golden Flame Crystal.

He intensified his attack, urging the Spirit Ant to join in as well.

Half an hour later, Shen Long gave up. He hadn't found a second Golden Flame Crystal; it seemed he had just been lucky.

He was content; this Golden Flame Crystal was quite large, more than enough to refine a fire-attribute Spirit Treasure.

Shen Long put the Spirit Ant back into his Spirit Beast Bag, collected the Golden Flame Jade ore from the ground, and walked out.

Iron Tail Scorpion led the way, followed by Shen Long, Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, and Green-Eyed Spirit Fox.

After leaving this mountain range, a vast expanse of Cyan Bamboo Forest stretched out before us.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox let out a low growl, as if it had discovered something.

The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada emitted a dazzling golden light, and due to the restriction, it could not see what was happening a hundred miles away.

"It seems you've discovered a very old spirit medicine. Take me there."

Shen Long gave the order to the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox moved in a northeast direction at a slow pace, and the Iron Tail Scorpion Green-Eyed Spirit Fox caught up with it, running alongside it.

Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada scouted from behind to avoid the restrictions, with Shen Long following behind.

More than two hours later, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox stopped. Several hundred feet ahead was a steep mountain peak, and at the foot of the mountain was a huge cave.

"Late Fourth Rank Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape! Jade Flat Peach."

Shen Long was overjoyed.

The Jade Flat Peach Tree has a growth cycle of up to 1,800 years. The Jade Flat Peach has the effect of enhancing Law Power and is suitable for Nascent Soul Cultivator to consume.

He put away the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, and strode into the cave, while the Iron Tail Scorpion burrowed underground to provide support.

The cave wasn't large. After walking about fifty steps, Shen Long appeared in a cave that was more than ten acres in size. In the lower left corner of the cave, there was a green fruit tree that was about ten feet tall, with dozens of bright green peaches hanging on it. A huge Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape was lying under the tree.

The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape spotted Shen Long, let out a deafening roar, and unleashed a Yellow Sound Wave that shot straight towards Shen Long.

Shen Long let out a loud dragon roar and spewed out a Red Sound Wave to meet it.

The Red Sound Wave collided with the Yellow Sound Wave, destroying both of them, and the powerful shockwave cracked the ground.

The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape charged forward at great speed.

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and a Giant Fireball shot out, accurately hitting the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape. The flames engulfed the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape's body, and after a dazzling yellow light emanated from its surface, the flames dissipated.

Shen Long turned and ran. The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape intelligence was not yet developed, did not know that there was a trap and chased after him.

He had just escaped the cave when he felt his body become incredibly heavy, as if a powerful gravity had imprisoned him on the ground.

His body shone with a bright red light, and numerous Red Dragon Scales grew, covering his entire body.

Thick, Yellow Earth Spear burst from the ground and struck Shen Long one after another, producing the sound of metal clashing.

The Yellow Earth Spear struck the Red Dragon Scales, but left not a single mark.

The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape caught up and swung its fist at Shen Long.

Shen Long threw a punch, which collided with the fist of the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape.

A mournful roar rang out, and the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a huge crater.

Shen Long opened his mouth, and a beam of Cyan Flame flew out, landing precisely on the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape. The Cyan Flame engulfed the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape's body, and it let out a shrill scream.

A vast expanse of red sticks swept in, crashing down on the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape like towering red mountains.

The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape tried to dodge, but a piercing screech rang in its ears, and it felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over it, leaving it disoriented.

Before it could react, the Li Fire Staff struck the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape on the head, causing it to bleed profusely.

The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape's physical body is indeed powerful; it can withstand ordinary Spirit Treasure without any problem, but it cannot withstand heavy Spirit Treasure.

Shen Long summoned a Cyan Jade Bottle, collected the Essence Soul of the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape, and put its corpse into his Storage Bag.

He entered the cave, picked all the Jade Flat Peach, offered up the Green Lotus Bottle, transplanted the Jade Flat Peach Tree, and left.

A day later, Shen Long appeared at the foot of a steep mountain peak. The area above the halfway point was shrouded in white mist, making Chu Shan.

A blue stone staircase extends from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. The staircase is covered with moss and has many cracks, and it is unknown how long it has been there.

This is it.

Shen Long spoke to himself, his expression grave.

The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada shone with dazzling golden light, and it could clearly see a vast manor on the mountaintop.

"Thousand Herb Garden! Why does that sound like the name of Spirit Herb Garden? Could there be rare spirit medicine here?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

He summoned Third Rank Puppet Beast, made a hand seal, and the Third Rank Puppet Beast strode towards the mountain. After taking one step, it was unable to move.

"Gravity Restriction! Just as I expected."

Shen Long was not surprised. He recalled his Third Rank Puppet Beast and walked towards the cyan stone steps.

As soon as he stepped onto the blue stone steps, he felt as heavy as a billion pounds. He snorted coldly, and a large number of Red Dragon Scales grew on his body, quickening his pace.

He walked more than thirty steps, his face flushed red, as if he were carrying Heaven-Propping Giant Peak weighing trillions of pounds on his shoulders.

You must know that he had taken a lot of body-strengthening elixirs and his physical body was stronger than that of Barbarian Race cultivators of the same level, yet even he couldn't withstand it. No wonder that Barbarian Race cultivators couldn't withstand it either.

He summoned the Magnetic Essence Bead and infused it with a spell. The Magnetic Essence Bead transformed into a thick Golden Light Screen, enveloping Shen Long's entire body.

All his pressure vanished, and he quickened his pace.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, the gates of Thousand Herb Garden were tightly shut, and a thick Golden Light Screen enveloped the entire Thousand Herb Garden.

Shen Long spat out a Cyan Flame, which landed on the Golden Light Screen. The Golden Light Screen immediately emitted a wisp of cyan smoke, and its spiritual light dimmed.

He unleashed his Li Fire Staff and smashed it against the Golden Light Screen.

The Li Fire Staff struck the Five-Colored Light Screen, and the Golden Light Screen shattered like a bubble, releasing a surge of pure Spiritual Qi.

Shen Long unleashed his Divine Sense, scanning the entire Thousand Herb Garden.

His brows furrowed slightly. There were no high-grade spirit medicine in the Thousand Herb Garden, not even a single spiritual fruit tree. It seemed someone had been here.

He arrived at the entrance of a magnificent, golden hall, with the three large golden characters "Thousand Herb Hall" written on the plaque.

The gate was in pieces, clearly indicating that someone had been here.

Shen Long released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, whose eyes shone with a dazzling golden light, but it did not detect anything unusual in the hall.

Shen Long summoned a Giant Ape Puppet Beast, made a hand seal, and the Giant Ape Puppet Beast strode into the Thousand Herb Hall. It circled the palace but found nothing unusual.

Shen Long then went inside. On his left was a Green Stone Corridor. The Giant Ape Puppet Beast walked in front, and Shen Long followed behind.

Before long, it reached the end, and three Stone Chamber with their doors wide open appeared before Shen Long.

The first Stone Chamber contained a Silver Dharma Array over ten zhang in size, but there wasn't a single Spirit Stone on it. The second Stone Chamber was also empty. In the third Stone Chamber, there was a humanoid skeleton wearing a tattered Golden Dharma Robe. Beside it was a golden Formation Disk that shimmered with light. The surface of the Formation Disk had eighteen grooves of the same size, and each groove contained a stone. One of the stones was absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

"Spirit Gathering Stone!"

Shen Long asked in surprise.

Spirit Gathering Stone is a special kind of Spirit Stone. Ordinary Spirit Stone are ruined when their Spiritual Qi is depleted, but Spirit Gathering Stone Stones can automatically absorb Spiritual Qi Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi when it is depleted, although this process is slow.
