Chapter 110: Sweeping Across (Seeking Monthly Tickets! Seeking Subscription!)

  "What is it?"

  With great difficulty, Xia Lin stood up and could feel the pain in his body, the physical damage, and even a piece of bone that had almost shattered. It had been a long time since he'd felt this way, not since he officially became a cultivator!

  That's absolute power suppression!

  Normally, he was the one suppressing others, how could it be that others would suppress him? But at this moment, he was actually struck like this, almost crippled.

  To know, his current defensive power is enough to rival the Return to Origin Realm!

  Although he is not very strong and has many shortcomings such as slow speed, one thing that is undeniable is that his defensive power is really very strong!

  But such defensive power can't withstand the opponent's one blow.

  As Xia Lin looked up, what appeared before his eyes was a bizarre fish monster, with a pale blue appearance, about 5-6 meters high. At this time, half of it was in the water, and the other half jumped out of the water surface, its huge mouth open, staring tightly at Xia Lin, as if it would swallow him at any moment.

  "What a monster!" Xia Lin stared at this fish monster, his face looking extremely ugly.

  He was able to injure him at once, and his attack power had reached the standard of returning to the origin! It's extremely dangerous for him, and more importantly, this damn fish monster is just in the way between him and the bridge, blocking his way back.

  "Fierce Flame Tiger Fist!"

  Xia Lin let out a cold snort and threw a punch that struck with a loud crash, sending a thick wave of bloody energy surging towards the fish monster, almost submerging it.

  "Whoosh!"

  The fish monster let out a loud roar, and countless water columns came rushing in, spraying onto the blood mist.

  Blood and river water came into contact, and it was actually corroded away.

  The two meet and eventually disappear into nothingness.

  "What should I do?"

  Just as Xia Lin Zheng was about to fight hard, he suddenly tilted his body. With a sway, he almost fell down.

  Looking down, the reefs under his feet had already begun to erode!

  "No! Can't fight it. First of all, don't mention whether we can beat it or not. Once we engage in battle, the reefs under our feet will definitely collapse, and if we fall into the water, there's only one outcome - death."

  A fierce glint flashed in Xia's eyes, "I'll go all out!"

  "Boom!"

  Xia Lin exerted himself and stomped his foot, causing the blood and energy in his legs to surge. The boulder was actually kicked down into the river, submerged by the water. At the same time, using the recoil force, Xia Lin leapt up and directly jumped towards the bridge.

  "Hiss——"

  The fish monster let out a loud screech and shook its big head before charging towards Xia Lin.

  Xia Lin stared intently at the big head rushing towards him, and in the final crucial moment, his feet surged with blood and energy once again.

  "Every step, an explosion!"

  "Wow!"

  A narrow escape, Xia Lin brushed past the fish monster without receiving any injuries.

  The fish monster seemed quite annoyed, its head having just passed by. It actually came crashing back, heavily hitting Xia Lin's body.

  "Hmmph!"

  Xia Lin only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a surge of fresh blood that he couldn't hold back gushed out. Before he could even react, he was directly smashed onto the bridge, with several bones in his body snapping consecutively.

  The big fish turned around, saw Xia Lin lying on the bridge, but let out a hiss and didn't dare to rush up. After pretending to threaten several times, it dived back into the river bottom.

  "Have you gone back?"

  Xia Lin looked towards the river surface, seeing that there was no longer any sign of the fish monster, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

  Too dangerous!

  This thing called "Cong Xue Cao", is indeed not something that ordinary people can get their hands on, back then when they obtained this thing, it's clear how much of an honor it was.

  Struggling to get up, looking at his body already stained with blood, Xia Lin could only leave a bitter smile.

  What an inauspicious start! I've just been here for a short while and almost got myself crippled.

  The cultivator's body recovered quickly, but with such severe injuries, it would take at least a day. Xia Lin couldn't wait that long, so he sat cross-legged and took out all the first-rate and second-rate spiritual herbs he had obtained earlier, putting them directly into his mouth and swallowing them whole!

  "Crack! Crack!"

  The medicine circulated in his body, quickly unblocking the stagnation inside Xia's body, and activating at various acupoints. Soon, his injuries were recovering at a visible speed!

  An hour later, recovery is complete!

  Xia Lin stood up, his body without a single wound, as if he had never been injured at all, safe and sound.

  "What a pity..."

  Xia Lin shook his head, all the previous efforts to recover from his injuries had been in vain. The first and second-grade spiritual herbs that he had obtained were now nothing more than a waste. These rare and precious items that would have greatly benefited others only served to restore his physical body, truly a waste.

  "But it's not like I didn't gain anything."

  Xia Lin smiled slightly and gently placed a spiritual grass in her right hand, Congxuecao!

  All the efforts finally turned into this third-grade spiritual grass.

  Xia's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she thought back to the fish monster's behavior earlier, and suddenly seemed lost in thought.

  This fish monster is probably the guardian of the Blood Congealing Grass, or it was attracted by the spiritual energy of the Blood Congealing Grass. In any case... this also means that the Yellow Spring Road is not peaceful! The higher the quality of the treasure, the more terrifying monsters may exist.

  Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent. The fish monster was extremely ferocious, but after it climbed onto the bridge, it suddenly gave up its pursuit and sank directly to the bottom of the river. This means that for some inexplicable reason, they could not approach this place, nor could they approach this simple-looking iron-chain bridge.

  Xia Lin picked up the hemostatic grass and continued walking forward.

  All the way, it was still like when I first came, countless one-product spiritual grass, occasionally there would be a two-product spiritual grass, Xia Lin took these things into his hands without hesitation, and fortunately, no special monsters came out.

  "It seems... only spiritual grass of third grade or above will attract monsters." Xia Lin thought to herself with a hint of contemplation.

  After walking for a while longer, it still hadn't come to an end.

  But Xia Lin was surprised to find that in the distance, a weak spiritual grass floated on the reef, looking so lonely.

  Bleeding stopper!

  It's another Blood Clot Grass!

  This is already the second Blood Coagulation Grass today, and subconsciously, Xia Lin wanted to pick it up, but soon, Xia Lin's figure paused. Because he remembered the scene of the fish monster's attack just now.

  Three Treasures Spirit Grass... Is something guarding it?

  What to do, take it or not?

  Summer is coming and it's getting annoying... Either don't show up or don't let things get out of hand. Good grief, being so close yet extremely dangerous, what's the point!

  Is it intentional?

  Suddenly, Xia Lin had a strange thought, and then shook her head. Since ancient times, all spiritual objects must have guardians around them. It's only natural that there are fish monsters guarding this place.

  "Never mind, let's just leave."

  Xia Lin couldn't help but shake his head. Just now, he had escaped purely by luck. He realized that the fishman's attack route and his own position had formed a triangle, which allowed him to smoothly run to the fishman's back. Then he was knocked onto the bridge surface again, but... what if it happened again?

  Xia Lin wasn't quite sure if he had that kind of luck, because this was based on a fish monster.

  "Blood clotting grass, there will be other opportunities later, if I die, it's all over." Xia Lin comforted himself like this, but after walking a few steps, he stopped again, with a struggling expression on his face.

  "Alas... why is it so arduous? If Lü'er were here, with her level of control over Nian Li, a mere Congxuecao would be a trivial matter."

  "Wait... Green, Nian Li?"

  Xia Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "Although my spiritual power is relatively weak, but the others are not weak at all. This iron chain bridge is the best protective layer after all."

  Thinking of this, Xia Lin smiled slightly and sat cross-legged on the bridge.

  Splash!

  The soul is summoned out.

  Xia Lin's soul appeared, without any hesitation, and rushed towards the Congxuecao, with a familiar movement, easily plucking it from the ground.

  Then, on his way back...

  "Boom!"

  The sound of rushing water soared into the sky, and the monster guarding the Congealed Blood Grass indeed appeared.

  The Xia Lin's soul didn't stop at all, ignoring all obstacles, and flew up directly, brushing past the seawater, leaving a hissing sound.

  "Whoosh!"

  A dark shadow flashed and shot up from the river bottom, striking Summer's soul.

  Xia's mouth corners slightly curved into a smile, and instead of escaping, his right hand threw the Congxuecao into the air, flying towards his body. At the same time, he suddenly chanted "Soul" and launched a fierce attack downwards, engaging in an intense battle with the fish monster!

  "Boom!"

  A few ripples, stirring up the river water to the sky.

  Xia Lin's seemingly ferocious figure only served as an obstruction, and in the brief span of two breaths, Nianhun was directly torn apart!

  This seemingly matchable physical body in the realm of origin is like a tablecloth in front of these monsters, easily torn apart.

  One strike, and his soul shattered.

  It only delayed for two breaths, but in this short period of two breaths, the spiritual grass descended from the sky and fell onto the bridge.

  "Brush!"

  Xia Lin's body suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed a handful of Congxuecao in front of him.

  The second Blood Clot Grass is done!

  "Two pieces done." Xia Lin's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, compared to other spiritual herbs, Congxuecao was the real treasure for cultivators.

  Three spiritual herbs, enough to let him go further.

  The Blood Congealing Grass was gathered up, and after a brief pause, several more low-grade spiritual grasses were consumed. Summer Approached's Nurturing Soul had once again been condensed to completion.

  "It seems that having low spiritual power isn't a bad thing after all." Xia Lin smiled to himself, for others, condensing their soul was extremely difficult, but for him, it was effortless. His soul could move freely and easily shatter, making Xia Lin swim like a fish in the underworld!

  "Go on!"

  Xia Lin excitedly walked away quickly.

  Every time about an hour passed, Xia Lin would encounter a third-grade spiritual herb. Of course, not every time he encountered the top-grade spiritual herb, Congxuecao. Occasionally, he would also encounter other spiritual herbs, such as a third-grade spiritual herb that slowed down the flow of time... So after five hours, Xia Lin's hands had two more Congxuecao and three spiritual herbs that were useless for cultivation.

  Xia Lin was excitedly continuing to collect when he suddenly stopped, looking ahead in surprise. About ten meters away, three spiritual grasses were rooted on the reef rocks.

  On both sides, it was actually coagulated blood grass.

  And the one in the middle...

  It's actually the Illusory Dream Spirit!

  "Fantasy Spirit? This thing has appeared again?"

  Xia Lin was somewhat astonished, staring unblinkingly at the three spiritual grasses. The last time the Illusory Dream Spirit appeared, it had almost cost him his life. He had suddenly come to his senses, and just as the Moon Lotus had a move called Moon Dance, they were able to narrowly escape with their lives.

  So seeing this thing, Xia Lin subconsciously wanted to dodge far away...

  "Right, we have a soul mate, what's he gonna do!"

  Xia Lin suddenly woke up, feeling ashamed of his previous behavior. He thought to himself, "I'm already a master comparable to the peak of Ninghai, how could I be affected by a mere fantasy spirit? It's impossible."

  As a strong person, shouldn't you look down on your enemies and kill them decisively?

  "It's done! This is a fourth-grade spiritual herb, and there are two blood-clotting herbs next to it. If I let these go, I'll probably regret it for the rest of my life."

  After Xia Lin thought it through, he considered that even if his soul escaped, his physical body would still be on the bridge. No matter how he thought about it, there wouldn't be any danger. If he still didn't dare to make a move in this situation, then he was being too timid.

  "Recall your soul, come out!"

  White mangrove flashes, Xia Lin's soul floats out and jumps towards the reef.

  All is well.

  Xia squinted her eyes, feeling a faint sense of crisis approaching, and suddenly understood that the four-product spiritual grass was indeed being guarded by something. It must be those fish monsters... They would only make their move after she finished collecting the herbs.

  Summer approached without making a sound, carefully collecting the two Blood Congealing Grasses and then gingerly pulling out the Illusory Dream Spirit, putting it away. Turning around, indeed, he could feel an increasingly strong sense of crisis.

  "A monster is still a monster..."

  Xia Lin smiled slightly and jumped up, leaping towards the bridge.

  "Wow!"

  A fish monster emerged, opening its bloody big mouth and rushing up from the river water, swallowing Xia Lin in one gulp. Xia Lin was not at all concerned, throwing the three spiritual grasses in his hand towards the bridge, and then chanting to turn into nothingness.

  Splash!

  Xia Lin's body opened his eyes and grabbed a few spiritual grasses with one hand.

  He had repeated such actions many times. Due to the special nature of Nianhun, he was like a god, roaming freely on the Yellow Spring Road, and almost every time Nianhun broke, it would bring him a high-grade spiritual grass. And what he needed to pay out was just to consume a few low-grade spiritual grasses to repair Nianhun.

  "I've got the Phantom Dream Spirit!"

  Xia Lin stared at the small grass in her hand with surprise, who would have thought that it was actually the legendary fourth-grade spiritual grass?

  With this thing... In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xia Lin's mind, various hallucinogenic and hypnotic drugs flashing in his mind. If he used the Fantasy Spirit to concoct such a drug, the Condensed Sea Realm would definitely be entranced, and even the Returned Origin Realm might fall victim to it.

  "There are also two Blood Congealing Grasses, what a great harvest. But this Yellow Spring Road seems to be without any danger, yet I always feel that something is not quite right, I'll leave the Spirit Grass here and use it when I get out of here."

  The spiritual grass was gathered up, and Xia Lin sat cross-legged on the ground, having finished repairing his Nianhun. He was ready to set off once again.

  But for some reason, Xia Lin felt that something was off.

  Looking around, he didn't see any danger, but Xia Lin felt no reassurance and instead had a growing sense of unease.

  What's going on?

  Xia Lin's mind suddenly jumped wildly, and he suddenly remembered something. He took out the collected Huanmeng Xianling, then pinched it with his right hand, directly crushing one-third of it.

  A faint strange smell wafted over, very ethereal, but didn't make Xia Lin feel a bit dizzy.

  "Damn it, I've been cheated again!"
