Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng immediately became interested and asked with a smile, "What is the use of this Demon Core?"
Yue Hanhai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, "Brother Li! You didn't know that?! This Demon Core can be used to refine pills for Grandmasters and above! It's used to increase cultivation level!"
Li Changfeng was slightly surprised upon hearing this, "I see! Then it must be very valuable!"
"Nonsense! This is priceless! It's extremely hard to buy, and even grandmasters usually don't put it up for auction. I suggest you keep it!" Yue Hanhai glanced at Li Changfeng and said helplessly.
Sun Hongwen glanced at Li Changfeng enviously, "Brother Li! Don't waste the Earth-Rock Dragon Crocodile's armor! It would be excellent as Inner Armor for weapons, but how are you going to carry something so big?"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "That's not difficult!"
Li Changfeng focused his mind on the corpse of the Earth-Rock Dragon Crocodile, and the Earth-Rock Dragon Crocodile suddenly flew into Li Changfeng's Storage Ring, leaving only an empty pit.
Sun Hongwen's mouth gaped open slightly as he looked on, "This... this is too awesome! To have such a good Storage Ring!"
Li Changfeng smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself, "I have a more complete piece of material!"
Seeing this, Yue Hanhai smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li! If you need to refine pills in the future, just come to the Medicine God Sect to find me!"
Sun Hongwen smiled upon hearing this, "Brother Li! You can also come to the Ironclad Gate to find me if you need weapons and equipment forged in the future!"
Li Changfeng felt that these two sentences sounded familiar, and smiled slightly, "Alright, alright! That's for sure!"
Zuo Kangcheng frowned and suddenly said, "Everyone! Have you heard shouts coming from inside the cave?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongwen slowly replied, "No, I didn't hear anything!"
Li Changfeng frowned. "I think I heard that too!"
Yue Hanhai smiled slightly, "In that case, let's go inside the cave and take a look, since we're going to check it out anyway!"
The group then slowly walked into the cave. Inside, the spiritual energy was overwhelming, and the surrounding area was covered with moss. At the center was a spiritual spring, and various spiritual herbs were planted around the spring, including the Qingxin Seed.
Everyone present was overjoyed at the sight of the medicinal herb field. Zuo Kangcheng, beaming with excitement, exclaimed, "We're rich! With these spiritual herbs, we won't have to worry about advancing to the Grandmaster level!!"
Seeing this, Sun Hongwen was also delighted, "Yes! This experience was really worthwhile! It's all thanks to that demon beast for bringing Qingxin Seed here, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to find so many spiritual herbs!"
Upon seeing this, Yue Hanhai frowned and said solemnly, "Something seems amiss! It seems someone has planted the medicinal herbs here! But that person doesn't seem to be here!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "Indeed! How could a demon beast possibly grow such a thing? Moreover, this person has two such powerful demon beasts outside; this is truly extraordinary!"
"Senior! Are you there? Please save us! We, a demon, are trapped here!"
Suddenly, a voice came from deep within the cave, startling everyone. Zuo Kangcheng's expression turned serious as he slowly looked at the crowd and said, "Shall we go and take a look?"
Li Changfeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go take a look! He should know a lot about this place!"
Li Changfeng led the group deeper into the cave and discovered two women imprisoned inside. He exclaimed in shock, "Zhiruo! How did you two get trapped here!"
Upon seeing Li Changfeng, Zhou Zhiruo's eyes welled up with tears, and she cried out, "Senior Brother Jue Kong! I knew you would come to save me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Wow! When did this girl know I would definitely come to save her? Her intuition is pretty strong!"
Li Changfeng then gave a wry smile, "Alright! We'll talk about these things later! Let's figure out a way to get you out first!"
Hua Xinglian was startled to see Zuo Kangcheng and the others, but overjoyed, she exclaimed, "Three senior brothers! Quickly save us! If that demon discovers we've escaped, we're doomed!"
Sun Hongwen was immediately shocked upon hearing this, "What demon? There are only two powerful Grandmaster-level demonic beasts outside the cave, there's no demon at all!"
Yue Hanhai's expression turned extremely grave upon hearing this. "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's figure out a way to escape first. Junior Sister Hua! Do you know how to open this cage?"
Hua Xinglian shook her head upon hearing this, "We don't know! I know that the sorcerer used a specific method to open this cage!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng frowned and slowly said, "You all step back a little, let me see if I can split it open with brute force!"
Hua Xinglian had also heard Zhou Zhiruo's words and immediately recognized that this person was the famous Draconic Elephant Vajra Jue Kong, the fourth-ranked Human Rankings. A glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she cupped her hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Jue Kong Brother Juekong!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, took out the Azure Rainbow Sword, and a surge of fierce and domineering Draconic Elephant True Qi condensed within the sword, emanating a domineering, Edgeless Sword Intent. With a sudden swing, he unleashed a domineering and imposing golden sword aura, slamming it fiercely against the iron cage.
With a hissing sound, a burst of sparks appeared, and the entire iron cage was split in two by Li Changfeng, breaking apart violently.
Upon seeing this, the two women's eyes rippled with emotion. They stepped forward, cupped their hands, and said, "Thank you so much for saving us, Jue Kong Brother Juekong! We are deeply grateful!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng sighed, "I am no longer a member of the Shaolin Temple. You can just call me Li Changfeng; that's my real name!"
The two nodded upon hearing this, and Zhou Zhiruo quickly asked, "Senior Brother Li! Where are we going next?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng said gravely, "Since there's still one demon here, let's leave this place quickly! The commotion I made when I killed its two guard dogs was quite loud; it's probably alerted it. We need to get out of here immediately!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly and hurriedly headed out of the cave. As they passed the herb field, Li Changfeng paused, then suddenly flashed back to the herb field, picked the Qingxin Seed, and put it into his Storage Ring.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a sound of a mechanism turning rang out, and a cage suddenly fell from the sky, directly covering Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng had already prepared for the unexpected event, and his figure blurred as he instantly flashed to a spot, dodging the falling cage.
"That was close! I didn't expect this sorcerer to have fallen into a trap!"
An iron gate descended at the cave entrance, blocking their path. Li Changfeng's expression hardened upon seeing this. He suddenly attacked, unleashing several domineering golden sword energies that cleaved open the sturdy iron gate, allowing him to walk out.
Hua Xinglian was extremely surprised, thinking to herself, "He just easily cleaved open this solid iron door?! And there seemed to be sword intent in that sword energy just now! No wonder he's ranked fourth on the Human Rankings, his strength is truly astonishing!"
