Chapter 142: The Powerful Dragon King Descends

  Misty forest, a place full of crisis and opportunity. Here, as long as you have the strength, you can find the spiritual plants needed for the initial stage of cultivation. On the other hand, if you are not self-aware of your own strength, you will be forever trapped in the misty forest.

  It is said that there are many monsters here, each one incredibly powerful!

  Ye Meng didn't plan on going deep into the forest, staying at the outermost part instead. Because monks frequently came and went, there were actually a lot fewer demons.

  After a long time, when Ye Ming arrived at the outermost part of the Misty Forest, there were scattered figures everywhere, including disciples from Gantang Academy and cultivators from Wangyue City, all of whom intended to enter the forest to try their luck.

  "How did this young man get in?"

  At this time, a middle-aged man in the distance looked at Ye Ming and smiled.

  Ye Ming was slightly stunned, then politely shook his head. Although the middle-aged man seemed very strong, entering the forest together might be safer, but who could guarantee that they wouldn't be discovered?

  Murder and robbery were things Ye Ming had heard of many times before.

  At this time, a mocking voice came from afar: "That senior, you're inviting him to join? Haha, his cultivation is only at the second boundary of spiritual energy. Not to mention whether he can help you, it's likely that he'll be a burden on you instead. This is already considered a waste of incense!"

  "Two Realms of Spiritual Energy?"

  That middle-aged man's eyes twitched, and this Lingqi Second Realm actually dared to enter the Misty Forest, isn't that seeking death? In his understanding, wanting to enter the Misty Forest requires at least a cultivation of Lingqi Third Realm!

  Not far away, the other cultivators also shook their heads in dismay. Wanting to find a spiritual plant to assist in cultivation was good, but one must also have self-awareness!

  Unless that little guy finds the spiritual plant as soon as he enters the forest, but is this possible? The outer periphery of the forest has been searched countless times, and to have a harvest, one must go deep.

  As for the strange gazes around him, Ye Ming didn't mind, glanced at those few people in the distance, and suddenly felt enlightened.

  "It turned out to be Wu Yuan and them..."

  The few people who had spoken earlier were also disciples of Gan Ting Academy, among whom one was dressed in brocade and was Wu Yuan.

  Wu Yuan is the second son of Wangyue City's lord and also the one who has been causing trouble for himself in the academy. Of course, Ye Ming also knows that Wu Yuan is not specifically targeting him, but rather his older brother Han Lin, because he knows how deep Han Lin's feelings are for him, so he's just making things difficult for him along the way!

  That Chen Guo is one of Wu Yuan's men!

  Without the sound of ridicule, Ye Ming walked towards the Misty Forest, where strength represented everything. At present, he possessed the mysterious scroll, what he lacked was time!

  After Ye Ming's figure disappeared, several disciples on Wu Yuan's side sneered with disdain. With their cultivation and status, they only regarded Ye Ming as a joke before embarking on their journey.

  "Who is that person?"

  Among them, a white-clothed girl asked in doubt.

  "Heh heh, seems like it's Ye Ming, Han Lin's friend, just a disciple assessment, anyway every school has one or two bottom-of-the-barrel guys, just like a weevil in the rice." Wu Yuan smiled faintly, his gaze towards the girl carried a hint of affection.

  The girl in white nodded slightly and didn't say much else.

  Another purple-robed girl beside her said disdainfully: "Kong Shi Mei, why bother so much? It's just an assessment of disciples, afraid that next time they'll be eliminated!"

  "Let's not talk about him for now, let's enter the Misty Forest first. Once we find a Black Lotus, we'll have enough materials for Shixiang to refine the Spirit Symbol!" An Yuan smiled and said: "And if there are other gains, I and Shixiang can also help you refine other elixirs!"

  Upon hearing this, the faces of the others lit up with joy. As long as they had the Dan symbol, they would have no shortage of spiritual plants to cultivate into dan medicine!

  "Wu Yuan, you also underestimate me too much. There are many people in the Ye family who want to trample me to death, but I am still alive, and I will become even stronger!"

  After entering the forest, Ye Ming smiled faintly, but didn't think much of it. For now, the three-month assessment was still the priority!

  Along the small path, because it's the outermost, the trees are sparse, and the rustling of leaves has recorded a picture. The mysterious starry sky appears again, with twinkling stars like fireflies!

  But compared to last time, the current video is even more blurry!

  "The Star Map is no longer as clear as it was last time, is there a limit to the number of times it can be used?" Ye Ming furrowed his brow, this mysterious map was his trump card, he couldn't afford to lose it.

  "If there is a limit on usage, then the diagram must need some support!"

  Ye Ming kept guessing, suddenly touched his pocket: "My primary yuan stone is gone!"

  Yuanshi, the most common currency on the continent of Fengyue, Ye Ming had been frugal for three years and saved up a first-grade Yuanshi. He had originally planned to exchange it for medicinal pellets, but now it was nowhere to be found!

  "No, after obtaining the map, most of them were stored together with Yuan Shi. Now that Yuan Shi is gone, it should be absorbed by the map?"

  Ye Ming's thoughts were extremely urgent, he had a feeling that he wanted to find the spiritual plant through the mysterious ancient records, but he must have the yuan stone!

  "But it's just a guess, as long as I have a primary yuan stone, I can try it out!"

  Suppressing that doubt, Ye Ming recorded the direction of the starlight in the diagram and continued on his way.

  Before long, a three-person-embracing big tree appeared in front of him, and under the big tree, there was an inconspicuous tree hole. Ye Ming walked towards the big tree, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to dig into the tree hole, and after a while, a lush green small grass appeared in his hand!

  "Spirit Gathering Grass?"

  Ye Ming's mouth cracked, and the Cong Ling Cao was the most ordinary spiritual plant, which had not yet entered the product. It itself carried a faint spiritual energy. Although it was a spiritual plant that had not yet entered the product, it was the most suitable for initial cultivation use.

  He glanced at the tree hole and Ye Ming nodded slightly: "No wonder no one has discovered it, it's hidden in this tree hole!"

  Next, Ye Ming did not plan to return to the academy and decided to find a place to retreat and cultivate.

  No pop-up ads on this site forever! On the outskirts of the forest, there were not many monsters. After a while, Ye Ming found a den left by a wild beast and crawled in after exploring it.

  Then Ye Minggang wanted to practice, but he was curious in his heart whether the starry sky map in the picture had become more blurred?

  However, when I opened it, there was no starry sky picture on the album cover, but instead a dense and crowded small print, a whole big article.

  Congregating Spirit Grass, not yet classified as a product, likes cold temperatures, generally grows in places where sunlight cannot reach. Although the spiritual energy is shallow, it excels in being peaceful. If taken for many years, it can prolong one's lifespan. If taken by cultivators, it can increase their cultivation.

  "My god, so detailed!"

  Ye Ming's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked closely, only to find that this was an introduction to the Spirit Gathering Grass, but it was extremely detailed, even hiding its effects, and he had never heard of it before.

  "Even the introduction of Agastache is so detailed, this illustration is indeed extraordinary, it's a complete 'Hundred Herb Compendium', a spiritual plant classic."

  With a thorough understanding of the Spirit Gathering Grass, Ye Ming felt at ease and directly stuffed it into his mouth. In an instant, a faint warm current rose from his stomach.

  At this moment, if there were other disciples here, they would definitely be filled with envy and grit their teeth. Although the Gathering Spirit Grass is not a top-grade item, it is still a spiritual plant after all. If refined into a pill, its effects would be even better.

  What a waste!

  In his heart, he silently recited the "Liemuengong" technique, and the warm current in Ye Ming's abdomen spread out like smoke. At the same time, his cultivation, which had not progressed for two years, also slowly moved forward with the assistance of the Jiling grass.

  The four limbs and hundreds of bones, the large and small meridians, were like a big man who had been starving for decades, greedily absorbing that spiritual energy!

  This is the biggest difference between Wu Xiu and Shu Xiu. Shu Xiu absorbs spiritual energy, which is generally stored in the Dantian, while Wu Xiu absorbs spiritual energy, first must strengthen the body, and finally store it in the Dantian.

  After all, Wu Xiu's attack or defense must be carried out through his body. If his body is not strong enough, then no matter how much spiritual energy he has in his dantian, it will be useless. As soon as the spiritual energy flows, his body will immediately collapse!

  Internally and externally as one, this is the true path of martial cultivation!

  This is different from the other three major cultivators, such as the Taoist cultivator, who casts spells without going through the body, but rather resonates with the spiritual energy inside and outside the body. As for the Danfu cultivator, this kind of cultivator relies on spiritual symbols whether attacking or defending.

  Of course, Dan Fu Xi's status is noble, after all, he still has a way to make people jealous, that is alchemy!

  In short, the four major cultivators are Taoist, Danfu, Jian and Wu. The cultivation resources required for Wu Cultivation are the most, with the only advantage being a strong body!

  Ye Ming was framed by Ye Wu Chen, his meridians were blocked, and he cultivated the most difficult martial arts. Without any resources, he managed to reach the second realm of spiritual energy in these years, which shows how hardworking he is!

  If it were someone else with insufficient willpower, they would probably still be wandering around in the realm of spiritual energy.

  "Ah!"

  After a long time, Ye Ming opened his eyes and shook his head in dismay. The Gathering Spirit Grass was indeed not of good quality. He had just started to feel the effects of his cultivation when the spiritual energy was absorbed by his limbs, leaving no progress in his dantian.

  "Wu Xiu, no wonder he's a headache, Dan Tian absorbs spiritual energy, and even his body..."

  Ye Ming stretched his body, although his Dantian hadn't made much progress, but he could clearly feel that his body was much lighter and more agile, full of energy.

  Whoosh!

  Ye Ming burst out of the cave like a leopard, and then the spiritual energy in his dantian poured into his right fist. He suddenly punched at a large tree outside the cave.

  Bang!

  The big tree swayed slightly, leaves fell in profusion, and a fist print appeared on the mottled tree bark.

  "Not bad, physical strength has indeed increased!" Ye Ming nodded in satisfaction, still far from the Three Realms of Spiritual Energy, but he saw hope!
