Wind Spirit Flower
Three hours later, two spaceships floating silently in the distance came into view.
"Hahaha, Jiao Du, is your Corpse Demon Sect out of talent? You've sent a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator yourself to oversee this secret realm exploration."
Suddenly, a sinister voice rang out in everyone's ears.
The sound, though not loud, reached the ears of everyone on the spaceship.
"Snort!"
With a cold snort, the hunchbacked old man who had been standing behind Jiao Du flew out of the spaceship alone.
"Old ghost Xiu Jun, are you mocking my Corpse Demon Sect for having no one to rely on?"
That sinister voice rang out again.
"Who do we have here? It's you, Xiang Qi, you old zombie!"
At this moment, a voluptuous female cultivator exuding the aura of a mature young woman flew out from another spaceship.
The female cultivator said, "Senior Brothers Xiu Jun Xiang Qi, now that everyone is here, let's break the seal and open the secret realm."
The origin of the Withered Blood Secret Realm is unknown. Its entrance opens once every thirty years. To prevent outsiders from entering, the three major sects added a seal to the entrance of the Withered Blood Secret Realm.
Xiu Jun said, "Huan Yu said is absolutely right. Let's take care of the important matters first."
Each of the three people held a palm-sized black token.
The three tossed the token into the air and simultaneously began to unleash their Law Power.
A crimson light emanated from the three tokens, gradually intensifying until it dyed the surrounding sky a deep crimson.
Black runes emerged from the blood-red light, transforming in a moment into a complex and profound hundred-zhang array.
The formation suddenly descended towards the towering mountains below.
With a loud "boom".
The rocks swayed, and the trees were shattered.
The formation was located in a mountain hollow.
As the blood-red light on the formation faded, a faintly glowing, empty cave entrance appeared in the mountain hollow, as if even air did not exist.
A voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
"The opening below is the entrance to the secret realm. You can enter the secret realm by passing through the opening."
"Remember, the secret realm will only be open for seven days. If you cannot return in time after seven days, you will be trapped inside. To get out, you will have to wait until the secret realm reopens in thirty years."
"Set off!"
At a command, the Qi Refining Stage disciples on the three large ships jumped off and landed at the entrance to the secret realm.
Upon entering the entrance to the secret realm, Song Wen felt a sudden dizziness, with dazzling lights before his eyes and a sense of weightlessness washing over him.
A moment later, the feeling of being grounded returned.
Looking up, he saw that he was standing on a desolate stretch of Gobi Desert.
At first glance, all you see are rocks of varying sizes, with a few low saplings rooted in the rubble, tenaciously surviving.
Song Wen looked around and saw no one. He had entered through the entrance to the secret realm, and the teleportation was random, so everyone's location was different.
After confirming that it was temporarily safe, he took out a Jade Slip and placed it between his eyebrows.
This Jade Slip contains a map of the secret realm, which was distributed by the sect while we were on the spaceship.
The Jade Slip records the terrain, distribution of Demon Beast, and distribution of spirit medicine within the explored secret realm.
Of course, the contents of this Jade Slip may not be entirely accurate, since it was drawn thirty years ago. The terrain and distribution of spirit medicine may not have changed much, but the Demon Beast may not be. Demon Beast migrate for various reasons.
There are five large red dots on the map, which are very eye-catching.
These five locations are inhabited by powerful Demon Beast, and also contain extremely precious spirit medicine.
After comparing the terrain of the Gobi Desert, Song Wen roughly determined his location.
Song Wen turned his gaze to the southeast. According to the map, there was a large mountain about 500 miles to the southeast, and Heavenly Spirit Fruit grew on its summit.
This place where the Heavenly Spirit Fruit grows is one of the three places in the secret realm where the Heavenly Spirit Fruit grows, and it is also the closest to Song Wen. Song Wen decided to go and take a look first.
Song Wen did not use the flying boat, but ran directly on the ground. With his current strength, he was already extremely fast using only his legs. Flying boats would be too conspicuous and easily attract attention.
After walking for about half an hour, Song Wen left the Gobi Desert and found himself in a lush forest ahead.
Suddenly, a lake appeared in front of him, with an island in the center of the lake.
According to the map, the island is home to the Wind Spirit Flower, an auxiliary ingredient in the refining of Foundation Establishment. It has the effect of moderating the potent medicinal properties of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. Since we've come across it, we should naturally collect the Wind Spirit Flower so we can consume it together with the Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
Using his Flight Technique, Song Wen took to the air and flew towards the island in the center of the lake.
At the same time, he released two Black Armor Gu, whose cultivation level had reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer. These were the only two of Song Wen's eight Black Armor Gu to advance to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
Two Black Armor Gu were flying close to the water's surface below Song Wen.
Although the Jade Slip indicated that no powerful Demon Beast lived in this lake, it was always better to be cautious, in case some Demon Beast took a liking to the beautiful scenery and migrated here.
Song Wen's worries did not come to pass, and he landed smoothly on the island in the middle of the lake.
Suddenly, the Black Armor Gu that was scouting ahead sent word that there were seven spiritual herbs with abundant Spiritual Qi and blue flowers growing beside a bottomless pool ahead.
It is indeed the Wind Spirit Flower!
Song Wen was about to go check out the pool when he heard a whooshing sound overhead.
Looking up, they saw that cultivators had arrived.
Moreover, it was someone Song Wen knew.
Wu Sheng!
Song Wen couldn't help but sigh, "What a small world!"
Wu Sheng did not notice Song Wen on the ground. He simply passed over Song Wen's head and landed directly on the edge of a pool a kilometer in front of Song Wen.
After Song Wen's mental power advanced to Divine Sense, the range of his Divine Sense reached 500 meters, far exceeding the 200 meters of the Qi Refinement Perfection. In addition, with the presence of the Black Armor Gu, Song Wen could detect a range of about 2,000 meters at most.
Through the Black Armor Gu, Song Wen saw that Wu Sheng, who was driving the Corpse Puppet to Wind Spirit Flower, was suddenly attacked by two giant pythons that rushed out of the pool. Song Wen then abandoned his plan to kill Wu Sheng with the Black Armor Gu.
The two giant pythons were very strong, and Wu Sheng was no match for them. He was quickly defeated.
His Corpse Puppet was also bitten in half by the giant python and dragged into the pool, becoming the python's meal.
Wu Sheng himself had narrowly escaped with his life, but having lost his Corpse Puppet, he was furious and turned to leave, yet he was unwilling to give up.
Just as Wu Sheng hesitated, two more cultivators flew in from the sky. These two were dressed in the robes of the Mysterious Yin Sect members and flew directly to the pool.
Wu Sheng, who was on the ground, saw the two people from afar. He quickly concealed his presence and hid in the bushes a hundred meters away from the pool.
The two people were a man and a woman. The man's cultivation level was the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, and the woman's Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
The two men had the same experience as Wu Sheng; just as they were about to gather spirit medicine, they were ambushed by two giant pythons in the pool.
However, these two were stronger and fought the two giant pythons to a standstill.
