Struck It Rich

The Spiritual Qi here is exceptionally abundant, and a large number of Spirit Plant grow here. Ordinary Spirit Plant are of little use, as the Tree Man are ruthless and drain their life Spirit Plant.

Shen Long released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada -Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, which emitted a piercing chirp and whose eyes shimmered with golden light.

"Heavenly Medicine Peak! Hopefully, it contains rare and precious spirit medicine."

Shen Long's face lit up with joy as he went outside.

One hundred and eighty miles away, there is a steep mountain peak. At the foot of the mountain stands a Cyan Stone Stele more than ten feet high, with three large golden characters "Heavenly Medicine Peak" engraved on it. The area above the mountainside is shrouded in a blue mist.

Shen Long flew in from a distance and landed on the ground less than fifty feet above it.

A sapling sprouted from the ground beneath his feet, and the sapling quickly grew into a towering tree hundreds of feet tall.

An astonishing scene unfolded: the vegetation behind Shen Long withered and died at a visible speed. The green leaves quickly turned yellowish-brown, the thick trunks shriveled up rapidly, and the petals withered quickly, as if the vegetation had been drained of its life force.

Shen Long released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada and then summoned a Giant Ape Puppet Beast. With a hand seal, the Giant Ape Puppet Beast strode towards the mountain. Thick, Cyan Vine sprouted from the ground and quickly wrapped around its body. At the same time, the sharp thorns on the surface of these Cyan Vine grew rapidly, striking the Giant Ape Puppet Beast like sharp swords, producing a muffled sound.

Shen Long opened his mouth and spat out a stream of Cyan Flame, which landed on the Cyan Vine.

The Cyan Vine vanished instantly, but soon, a large number of Cyan Vine sprouted from the ground again, heading straight for the Giant Ape Puppet Beast.

Shen Long made a hand seal, and the Cyan Flame rapidly expanded, engulfing a small portion of the mountain peak.

The Giant Ape Puppet Beast strode up the mountain and entered the blue mist.

With the help of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, Shen Long could clearly see the Giant Ape Puppet Beast walk to the gate of a manor. The manor's plaque had three large blue characters that read "Heavenly Medicine Garden," and a thick Cyan Light Screen covered the entire Heavenly Medicine Garden.

Shen Long put away the Tree Man and the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, and strode towards the mountain. When he arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Medicine Garden, he made a hand seal, Cyan Flame suddenly condensed, transforming into a huge Cyan Fire Phoenix. It flapped its wings and crashed into the Cyan Light Screen.

A loud explosion rang out, and Cyan Flame engulfed most of the Cyan Light Screen. The spiritual light of the Cyan Light Screen dimmed, appearing faintly, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Shen Long threw a punch, which struck the Cyan Light Screen.

With a loud bang, the Cyan Light Screen shattered like a bubble, and the Cyan Flame transformed into an Cyan Fire Phoenix, flying back into his sleeve.

Shen Long unleashed his Divine Sense, quickly scanning the entire Spirit Herb Garden. Most of the spirit medicine and fruit trees had withered and died.

He came to a spiritual field and saw a towering tree with lush foliage. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the tree was constantly releasing wisps of Spiritual Qi.

"The Spirit Eye Tree!"

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise, his expression excited.

The Spirit Eye Tree is the highest-grade spiritual object. The older it is, the more abundant the Spiritual Qi it emits, and it can change the concentration of Spiritual Qi in an area.

The Spirit Eye Tree before us is over ten thousand years old. If it is transplanted to the third level of the Ten Thousand Beast Tower, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on the third level will become increasingly abundant, and the longer it is transplanted, the more abundant the Spiritual Qi will become.

Shen Long used Formation Flag Formation Disk to set up the Formation, and then used the Green Lotus Bottle to transplant the Spirit Eye Tree and put it into the Green Lotus Bottle.

He came to a field where he could see a towering tree, entirely black in color.

"It's actually the Soul-Nourishing Wood, one of the Ten Great Spirit Woods."

Shen Long was overjoyed.

The Soul-Nourishing Wood before us is over ten thousand years old, more than enough to refine Spirit Treasure. If one's crafting skills are high enough, it could even be used to refine Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure.

In his early years, Shen Long obtained Soul-Nourishing Wood that was hundreds of years old. He had it refined into Law Artifact and wore it to nourish his soul. However, as his cultivation level increased, that Law Artifact became useless.

He could cut off a section of the Soul-Nourishing Wood and ask Chu Buyu to refine it into Spirit Treasure.

Shen Long set up Formation and then summoned the Azure Green Lotus Bottle Green Lotus Bottle, taking the Soul-Nourishing Wood into it.

Apart from these two Spirit Wood, all the other spirit medicine herbs and fruits in the spiritual fields have withered and died.

He arrived at a three-story, Cyan Pavilion with a plaque bearing the three large golden characters "Heavenly Medicine Pavilion".

Shen Long made a hand seal, and the Giant Ape Puppet Beast strode forward, pushed open the door, and went inside.

It circled the attic, finding nothing amiss. Shen Long carefully scanned every corner of the attic with his Divine Sense, but also found nothing unusual, before finally entering.

He arrived at the door of a secret room, the door of which was tightly closed. There were two other secret rooms next to it, also with their doors tightly closed.

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and a Cyan Fire Phoenix flew out, crashing into the gate. The gate quickly cracked and soon shattered into pieces, revealing a simple Stone Chamber. Inside the chamber was a blue magic array over ten feet in size, with hundreds of uniformly sized grooves on it. Each groove contained a grayish-white stone, a Spirit Stone that had exhausted its Spiritual Qi.

He opened the door to the second Stone Chamber, and a Stone Chamber over a hundred feet in size came into view. Inside, there was a pool several tens of feet in size, filled with some black liquid, and three Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus floating on the surface of the pool.

"Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus that is tens of thousands of years old."

Shen Long gasped; the black liquid was clearly Heaven Soul True Water.

He carefully picked three Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus and collected all the Heaven Soul True Water.

Upon opening the door to the third Stone Chamber, an extremely pure Spiritual Qi surged out, revealing Stone Chamber over a hundred feet in size to Shen Long.

In the lower left corner of the Stone Chamber, there is a pool more than ten feet in size, with a row of stalactites of varying lengths on top, and some milky white liquid in the pool.

Shen Long approached the pool, took a light sniff, and felt a surge of energy.

"Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk!"

Shen Long looked excited.

A single drop of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk can instantly restore the Law Power of Nascent Soul Cultivator, without any side effects.

Shen Long took out a Golden Jade Vial and collected over a hundred drops of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk from the pool.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Eye Tree, the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood, the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, and the Ten-Thousand-Year Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus —these items would attract fierce competition among Nascent Soul Cultivator if placed outside. The Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood, in particular, can be used to refine a spiritual Spirit Treasure of the soul type, continuously strengthening one's soul power. The longer it is worn, the better the effect.

"What kind of place is this?! How can there be so many wonderful things here? Who put all these things here?"

Shen Long looked completely bewildered.

Logically speaking, if this were the ruins of a powerful force, there should be cultivators living and guarding the Spirit Herb Garden Spirit Herb Garden. In that case, there would definitely be traces of life left behind, such as refining materials, Jade Slip, Cattail Mat, Incense Burner, and tea sets. However, after touring the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion, he did not see any of these things.

"It doesn't look like a ruin at all. There are no buildings, and we haven't found Human Race cultivators' remains or relics."

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

He had ventured into many dangerous places, places frequented by numerous cultivators who could find the remains or relics of Human Race cultivators. It was strange that there were none here.

"This doesn't look like a ruin; it looks more like a forbidden area."

Shen Long analyzed.

He sensed something, flicked his wrist, and the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox flew out of the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

"Hide Heavenly Medicine Peak."

Shen Long gave the order.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox flew out, opening its mouth to spew out a large cloud of azure mist that enveloped the entire Heavenly Medicine Peak.

A gentle breeze blew by, the blue mist dissipated, and Heavenly Medicine Peak vanished, replaced by an open space—an illusion.

After a while, a blue flying boat more than ten feet long flew in from a distance. Qin Biao, Sun Hai, and a sweet-looking woman in a golden dress stood on it, each with a different expression.

"What happened to these plants? They seem to have been drained of their life force. Was it caused by cultivators fighting?"

Sun Hai asked in confusion, his gaze falling on the withered vegetation.

"Could it be an illusion or a restriction?"

"That's what the woman in the golden dress said."

Qin Biao flicked his sleeve, and a Giant Fireball flew out, crashing into the withered vegetation.

A loud explosion rang out, and a Crimson Flame spread out, rapidly expanding the fire.

A quarter of an hour later, the flames dissipated, and the surrounding area of a hundred miles was reduced to scorched earth, with not a single plant to be seen.

"It's not a restriction or illusion; it seems to be the behavior of Wood Demon."

Qin Biao said.

Just then, a ripple spread across an open area, and hundreds of Sand Arrow, shimmering with yellow light, shot out, heading straight for the three of them.

"Oh no, enemy attack! Be careful!"

Qin Biao frowned and punched the air with both fists.

A piercing sound of air being torn apart rang out, and a dense barrage of golden fist shadows shot out to meet the attack.

Sun Hai conjured a small Blue Small Umbrella, which lowered a thick Blue Water Screen to protect them. The woman in the golden dress made a hand seal, and the cyan flying boat flew back along the way they had come.

The cyan flying boat flew more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) before a powerful gravitational force from the ground slowed it down, causing it to plummet uncontrollably towards the ground.

The dense golden fist shadows collided with the Yellow Sand Arrow, destroying each other. Two kinds of golden spiritual light shone in the sky, and the air waves rolled.

Hundreds of White Ice Blade, each over ten feet long, flew towards the blue Blue Water Screen Blue Water Screen, striking it one after another and causing ripples to spread across its surface.

One of the White Ice Blade flashed with a blinding white light, and the Ice Flood Dragon appeared.

"A fourth-order Flood Dragon!"

Qin Biao and his two companions were terrified, their souls nearly leaving their bodies.

Just as they were about to disperse, a sharp, piercing screech rang out, like a blow to the head, and they immediately felt dizzy.

The Ice Flood Dragon opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a beam of white light that struck the blue Blue Water Screen Blue Water Screen, instantly freezing it into a massive ice sculpture.

Its tail suddenly swept out like a long white whip, striking the giant ice sculpture. The ice sculpture shattered into pieces, and two Nascent Soul flew out of its body, looking panicked.

A golden light shone in the void dozens of miles away, and Qin Biao appeared, looking terrified. If it weren't for the Life-Substitution Treasure with him, he would have been killed.

The ground shook violently, gravity increased sharply, and Qin Biao's body plummeted towards the ground.

He opened his mouth and spat out a Golden Small Hammer, infusing it with Law Power. Instantly, it swelled up and transformed into a Golden Giant Hammer, smashing it into the ground.

With a deafening roar, the ground shook violently, revealing a long, thick crack and billowing smoke and dust.
