It took Xiao Yao nearly ten minutes to finish walking through the corridor. Although he had not found the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Soul Grass he needed, the many other exceptionally rare medicinal ingredients greatly boosted his confidence.
Xiao Yao then entered another corridor and continued searching.
"Blood Python Branch... Three-Leaf Green Spirit Vine..."
After Xiao Yao had finished searching three corridors, he stopped before a medicinal herb radiating a faint blue glow. A slightly surprised voice rang out. "This is a Sixth-Grade medicinal ingredient, Blue Spirit Moonglow Grass!"
Xiao Yao took the Blue Spirit Moonglow Grass from the display case and placed it in his Storage Ring before continuing onward.
In the fourth corridor, his footsteps came to a halt once more. Inside the display case was an exquisite jade plate, upon which rested a palm-sized fruit. The fruit was rather peculiar, half red and half white. Even from two feet away, Xiao Yao could feel the scorching heat seeping from the red half, while the white half emitted an entirely different, bone-chilling cold. Two attributes that were practically polar opposites had fused perfectly within a single fruit.
Xiao Yao murmured, "Dragon Whisker Icefire Fruit, an ingredient for refining the Earth Spirit Pill. Unfortunately, it is useless to me. Only three corridors remain unchecked."
Just as Xiao Yao turned to enter another corridor, he sensed a faint disturbance in the space behind him. A small clenched fist appeared out of thin air at his back, carrying terrifying force as it smashed toward him.
Xiao Yao shifted, then firmly caught it with his right hand.
The slender little hand looked tender and immature, yet it contained an overwhelmingly domineering power. An ordinary Dou Wang expert would likely have suffered greatly from such a sudden attack. Unfortunately, it had struck him.
