Volume 4: The Descent of the Evil God Chapter 318: Looking for Trouble Chapter 11: Gou Cu Jian

  "This place has spiritual medicine!"

  King Fei's mind flashed with this thought, a wave of excitement surged up, if it was true, wouldn't he have made a fortune!

  At once, Wang Fei decided to stir up his spiritual energy and sense them.

  Just as Wang Fei was about to sit down and sense the spiritual medicine, he unexpectedly found two flashes of light appearing not far behind him.

  These two flashes of light, one in front and one behind, suddenly appeared ten zhang away from him. The light retracted, revealing the silhouettes of two people.

  "Ding Yao, Li Mu!" Wang Fei's eyes turned cold, Li Mu was easy to deal with, but Ding Yao was a headache, this woman was not a good person.

  When Wang Fei saw the two of them, Ding Yao also caught sight of Wang Fei and was shocked. However, her gaze swept past him to see the corpse of a long-toothed beast lying beside him, and her face was filled with shock.

  Under Wang Fei's feet was a low-level demon beast that had been charred and covered in scars!

  "Wang Fei, what are you doing here? What's going on with this demon beast? Did you kill it?" Ding Yao asked, her eyes scanning him up and down with a questioning tone.

  In response to Ding Yao's inquiry, Wang Fei had an idea. He calmly said: "Ding Shifu misunderstood, this beast was not killed by me, but by my fellow traveler Fang Hao. However, he was severely injured while trying to kill the beast and was swallowed to death. I just took advantage of the situation."

  "Want to take advantage of me?"

  Ding Yao repeated Wang Fei's words, looking him up and down, seemingly with some doubts in her mind.

  Wang Fei sneered inwardly, since he couldn't deal with the beast himself, why not do a favor and curry favor? He bowed his hands respectfully to the two and said: "Ding Shifu, Li Shixiong, I'm just a miscellaneous disciple, this demon is too much for me to handle, would you two seniors please help out?"

  "Oh, I see! Well said!" Li Mu was overjoyed when he heard Wang Fei's words, which naturally meant that they could take it away, with the implication of giving it to them.

  He waved his hand and smiled at Wang Fei.

  As for Ding Yao, he was also overjoyed, took out the Lingzhu, cut the corpse of the long-toothed beast in half, and each of them packed one half. Then he instructed Wang Fei a few words, and left happily.

  Wang Fei wiped his nose, gazing at the two of them until they completely disappeared into the night, then looked around to make sure no one was there before sitting down cross-legged and sensing the spiritual medicine again.

  He calmed down and merged with the nature around him, using his years of planting experience to find the location where the spiritual medicine grew by feeling the clear wind blowing the fragrance.

  Whoosh... In the forest, a gentle breeze stirs, lifting Wang Fei's hair and bringing a refreshing sensation.

  Soon, Wang Fei suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards a dense forest on the right side. Deep in the forest, there was a stone seam, from which a faint white light shot out, as if behind the stone seam, there was another world.

  Wang Fei looked at the stone seam, took a deep breath again, and confirmed that the fragrance was coming from there. He lifted his chin, pondered for a moment, then pushed aside the dense undergrowth and came to the front of the stone seam.

  This stone seam is a narrow opening between two fake mountains, only one person wide, but extremely long. Wang Fei squeezed through the seam and saw that this stone seam was several feet long. The ground below the seam and outside were covered with dense grass and trees. Due to his slender body, Wang Fei easily crawled in.

  A narrow and long stone crevice, somewhat dark, Wang Fei flew for a short while before arriving at the exit. The exit was blocked by a thick patch of high shrubs, with some thorny branches on top. Wang Fei carefully parted the shrubs, but his clothes were still scratched by the thorns, making a rustling sound, and his skin was also scratched, leaving a trail of blood.

  Gritting his teeth, Wang Fei continued to move forward. After groping in the dense jungle for a short while, he suddenly saw a bright light in front of him, and then a refreshing fragrance rushed into his nose.

  Wang Fei subconsciously covered his eyes with his hand, and after his eyes adjusted to the light, he put down his hand. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was completely stunned on the spot.

  Is this what they mean by "a place of good fortune and prosperity"?

  As far as the eye can see, there are pieces of thriving spiritual medicine, red, orange, yellow, blue, and purple, in a riot of colors, under the night sky, emitting a faint glow, with wisps of fragrance constantly being released. Some of the spiritual medicines that have bloomed into flowers even have busy bees collecting nectar from them. The fluttering of their wings creates a soft humming noise.

  The scenery was so beautiful that it made one's heart feel carefree and expansive, as if they had entered a fairyland. Wang Fei gazed at the spiritual medicine in front of him, which was bursting with vitality, and for a moment, he became somewhat dazed.

  Many spiritual medicines and some hundred-year-old medicinal materials, if picked up, will definitely be rewarded with many spiritual crystals.

  However, it is said that there are some guardian monsters hidden around these spiritual medicines. So, Wang Fei walked down a small slope with a nervous heart, heading towards the spiritual medicine nest...

  In the dark of night, Wang Fei tread carefully, step by step, and arrived at the central area of the spiritual medicine cave. Looking around at the various medicinal materials beside him, he was surprised to find that this place where spiritual medicines were hidden away did not have any strange or demonic beasts guarding it.

  After looking around in a circle, Wang Fei didn't find anything unusual, so he started picking medicinal herbs.

  Half an hour later, Wang Fei had packed fifty stalks of hundred-year-old spiritual medicine and over a hundred ordinary medicinal herbs into the Lingzhu. The pearl was filled with a rich fragrance. However, he would only hand over a small portion, mainly to prevent others from becoming suspicious. After all, it would be strange if they didn't become curious after receiving such a large quantity of spiritual medicine all at once.

  At this moment, the sky had completely darkened, and it was midnight when all kinds of monsters appeared. Wang Fei also found it inconvenient to act rashly.

  Then he found a quiet place, calmed down and waited quietly for dawn...

  The next day, as soon as the dawn broke, Wang Fei set out for Gou Gulch according to the map.

  According to the secret recipe for refining medicine, both Zi Zhu Cao and Ming Ye Zi are of the same type of medicinal material, which can usually be found in the same place. Moreover, they like dryness and grow on steep cliffs every day.

  However, since these two medicinal herbs are quite precious, there will generally be demonic beasts and the like guarding them.

  It was just a thought of the demon beast, and Wang Fei felt extremely headache, let alone facing the long-toothed beast before, not to mention the demon beast that specifically guarded the spiritual medicine.

  Headaches are headaches, time is limited, Wang Fei must get both as soon as possible.

  The ditch is not a small stream, but a place that spans half of the forest, so it's quite difficult to find.

  Along the way, Wang Fei also found many fellow disciples, but Wang Fei's cultivation was shallow and his status was lowly, so they didn't bother to pay attention to him and passed by with a brush of their sleeves.

  From time to time, Wang Fei could still hear the beasts' roars and the monks' mournful cries.

  Wang Fei did not dare to linger any longer, and headed west. He had to obtain the herbs before tonight, or else he wouldn't be able to return on time.

  ……

  "Li Shixiong, this time out, really gained a lot. That silly Wang Fei actually gave us a first-level low-grade long-toothed demon beast, haha, it's really beyond expectation."

  On a winding path, Ding Yao and Li Mu rode a flying sword, speeding along like the wind. As soon as Ding Yao thought of yesterday's situation, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: Wang Fei, that useless disciple, was really too easy to manipulate.

  "Heh heh, Junior Sister is right, but who made him have such a low status? If he doesn't give us the demon beast, how can he take it back?" Li Mu heard Ding Yao's laughter and also had a pleased expression. He continued, "However, these are just small treasures. The real treasure is the Xuanbing Huoling from Gou Pu Jian. I wonder why such a treasure would appear in a first-level danger zone."

  Li Mu said, slightly furrowing his brow. Logically speaking, a Rain Bamboo Forest with a danger rating of only level one shouldn't have such precious treasures. The Xuanbing Huoli should at least be found in a place with a higher danger rating of two or three levels.

  A place of hidden treasure is usually more dangerous and has better treasures. The appearance of the mysterious ice and fire spirits overturned his logic.

  "Heh heh, Brother Li, don't think about it anymore. Haven't we all verified that it's the real deal? Ding Yao chuckled and interrupted Li Mu's thoughts, "When we first discovered it, the timing wasn't right, but now that I've calculated it, it's time for it to mature. This time, to prevent others from prying, we've made absolutely sure."

  "Hmm, three Forbidden Seals, they can definitely block out external probing."

  ……

  After a while, Wang Fei finally arrived near the Gou Dang Brook. The spiritual energy here was relatively denser than other places. Wang Fei also saw other cultivators, but in order not to attract attention from others, he always took a detour.

  Before he knew it, Wang Fei arrived at the Gou Cu Jian, but looking at the vast and steep cliff, Wang Fei's eyebrows were tightly locked. How could he find the habitat of the two medicinal herbs?

  Wang Fei lifted his chin and fell into deep thought. After a moment, a hint of a smile appeared on Wang Fei's face as he sat cross-legged, beginning to sense the unusual fluctuations in his spiritual energy.

  Half an hour later, Wang Fei suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards a steep cliff on the left, walking quickly in that direction.

  Before long, Wang Fei arrived at the foot of a steep cliff with a stone body that was entirely white.

  Staring at the snow-covered mountain cliff in front of him, Wang Fei felt a chill emanating from the cliff body, and he immediately became extremely vigilant.

  Wang Fei, although a miscellaneous apprentice, had been influenced by his daily observations and had seen many formal apprentices lose their lives due to carelessness. He did not want to become one of them.

  The path of cultivating immortality is fraught with danger, and apart from cultivation itself, the cultivator must also have a bold heart and be meticulous, always being vigilant.
