More and more cultivators gathered in the Immortal Mansion, bustling about, everyone on the move-some gathering medicinal herbs, others searching for treasures.
"Where did that Chaos-World Demon Ape hide? Why isn't there the slightest trace of him?"
"What a pity for the Wang Family's pearl, a fairy as lovely as a flower and as flawless as jade. She's going to be defiled by a blue-faced, fanged monster!" a young man lamented.
"Shh, watch what you say. Don't let the Wang Family hear you, or you'll suffer for nothing," another person warned.
Many still held deep reverence for the undying Wang Family of Boundless Heaven, a colossal power whose ancestors had included a True Immortal.
Besides, while the Violet Palace Grass was valuable, it was hardly easy to obtain.
Even if they found the demon ape, they might not be able to capture him. Hadn't even the young Supremes with three strands of immortal qi been led around in circles?
Thus, a large portion of the crowd focused primarily on hunting treasures and vying for great opportunities.
"Eight Treasure Qilin!"
Suddenly, someone cried out in delighted surprise in the distance and rushed toward a reddish-brown mountain ridge.
There stood a qilin-shaped plant, over a foot long, shimmering with purple light and suffused with a sacred aura.
One glance sent a violent tremor through everyone's hearts. To think such a treasure was here, something even rarer than divine medicine! They all rushed over to fight for it.
With a swish, the Eight Treasure Qilin slipped beneath the soil and fled, but it was soon forced back out.
In an instant, countless gazes gathered on that purple plant, burning with desire.
After all, it ranked first among the Primordial Eight Treasures and was the finest delicacy under heaven, its flavor delicious beyond imagination.
