Chapter One Hundred and One: Heading to Yunmengze

  Yang Tianwen did not get lost in the dreamlike mighty power brought by the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, and with a firm heart, Yang Tianwen could clearly recognize that the formation's power belonged to the natural power of heaven and earth. He could now borrow the formation to possess this power, but his own cultivation was still the most important foundation.

  If one day I can use this power without relying on a large array, then that's when I'll be considered qualified!

  The seventh-level demon beast that had been petrified would still be able to recover in a short period of time, but if it missed this opportunity, it would be forever trapped inside the stone. Yang Tianwen felt that the killing aura of this formation was still a bit too heavy, but compared to the evil and bloody Swallowing Heaven and Earth Demon Blood Formation, or the Twelve Heavenly God Killing Great Formation's destructive power, this one was already quite good.

  At least when it's in effect, it's only cruel to those who enter the formation, and has little impact on the environment and outside the formation. It's still a relatively environmentally friendly formation, among the strange formations that Yang Tianwen knows, only the Two Instruments Micro Dust Great Formation is more environmentally friendly than this one.

  The seventh-level demon beast sealed in the stone, Yang Tianwen simply couldn't get the elixir, he could only calculate the time, release it when it was at its weakest, and then kill it with one blow!

  The formation heart and formation disc can be sent and received by the formation master as long as they are within the range of the large formation. The amount of spiritual power required to open the formation is not great, otherwise how can we talk about the ancient mysterious formations?

  Yang Tianwen took out the Xian sword, and with a thought, the seventh-level demon beast that was about to be completely petrified slowly recovered its original form. At this moment, Yang Tianwen saw an opportunity, pointed with his finger, and with the Xian sword, he ended the beast's life when it was at its weakest and had not reacted yet. Yang Tianwen quickly used the Xian sword to extract the demon core from within the beast's body. A seventh-level demon core! Its price is a hundred times that of a sixth-level demon core, which is equivalent to 60,000 high-grade spirit stones, an extremely high price! As for eighth-level demon cores, they require at least 600,000 high-grade spirit stones, a heavenly price.

  Yang Tianwen arrived in the Immortal Realm for a hundred years and only saw a seventh-grade demon pill on the market, which was used to refine the Suppressing Array Nine Palaces Seal. Now it can be considered as recovering the cost, not bad not bad.

  Yang Tianwen looked at the immortal sword in his hand, an immortal artifact was indeed an immortal artifact. A strong seventh-level demon beast's ordinary flying sword couldn't break its defense, but this immortal sword in his hand was like cutting tofu, one sword and it was done.

  "Hmm, with the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation in place, it seems I won't have to worry about running out of high-grade demon pellets anymore." "Hahahaha~~~" Yang Tian asked couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

  The entire body of the demon beast is a treasure. For example, some special demon beasts have skin that can be used to refine precious armor, and their tendons can be used to refine whips and hanging ropes. As for its meat, it can satisfy Xiao Bai's hunger, and since there is still plenty of time, there is no need to rush.

  He flew towards the direction of Yunmeng Swamp, scraping the ground like a skin, and the types of spiritual medicine in Yang Tianwen's hand were also increasing, enough to allow Yang Tianwen to refine most of the spiritual pills. However, there were several spiritual pills whose main medicine could not be collected by just picking them up along the way. Yang Tianwen was very clear about this point, but he could only collect as much as he could for the auxiliary medicines. Originally, the shortage of main medicines was already depressing enough, and if these auxiliary medicines were also missing a few flavors, it would be maddening.

  One month later, Yang Tianwen had only flown halfway, which means that at this speed, it would take another month to reach the Yunmeng Swamp.

  The high-grade demon beasts nearby are becoming less and less seen, but human cultivators are getting more and more, and without exception, they are at least in the foundation-building stage.

  They, like Yang Tianwen, were searching everywhere for resources in nature, such as spiritual medicine and jade stones. Yang Tianwen began to restrain his behavior of scraping the ground, speeding up, not wanting to conflict with these monks.

  Monks who go out also do not arbitrarily set up enemies, and maintain a distance from each other with an unwritten rule. Of course, the unwritten rule is not a clear regulation, and there are still some evil monks who like to take advantage of loopholes. They are not necessarily all demonic cultivators or loose cultivators, and there are also many such losers among the Taoist alliance cultivators, which is a complex social environment.

  Yang Tianwen hurried on the road with the fastest speed, and the journey time was greatly shortened. In just ten days, Yang Tianwen had already arrived at the entrance of Yunmeng Marsh.

  Inside the Yunmeng Swamp, it's so vast that no one can explore it thoroughly, even a powerful Mahayana period expert would find it difficult to survey the entire swamp. However, its entrance is particularly special, it's a narrow and long canyon, which is the only way to enter the Yunmeng Swamp and also the only exit at present. The length and width of this narrow canyon can be roughly understood by Yang Tianwen from the jade slip map with that long winding line. Don't think that this canyon is just simply narrow, in fact, there are countless terrifying taboos inside, as well as countless opportunities that drive people crazy.

  At the entrance of the canyon, there is a large supply town on a plain, which can be said to be a small but complete society. Everything one needs is available here, and it's clear that this town was built by the cultivators themselves. Although the town is simple, everyone coming and going is a gold digger with exceptional skills. There are no ordinary people here, even the lowest level are Qi Refining stage cultivators. Coming and going, you can also see several Yuan Ying stage masters who were rarely seen before. These cultivators come in groups, some of which can be identified as being sent out by various sects for trial or simply to "dig treasure". For cultivators, as long as they can overcome the danger, there will be great gains behind it. Describing it as "digging treasure" is also very vivid and accurate.

  Yang Tianwen stayed in this supply town for a few days, buying many good things that couldn't be bought outside, especially spiritual medicine. The spiritual medicine here was diverse and abundant, making Yang Tianwen's eyes widen. What was even more special were the numerous shells, Yang Tianwen had once seen a shell as tall as a person, which withstood an attack from a flying sword of first-class spiritual equipment without suffering any damage.

  In the Yunmeng swamp, most of them are scale-armored spirit wasps, five-poisonous strange insects and so on. Their growth cycle is not as long as that of the demon beasts, generally almost the same as that of ordinary people. However, their strength and terror are beyond doubt. Of course, some rare and precious species are even more powerful. As the saying goes, "being prepared for any situation", Yang Tianwen has been here for a few days, and the news he has heard has made him have a great deal of respect and caution for Yunmeng swamp, one of the three major forbidden areas.

  To venture into the Cloud Dream Marsh alone, one must at least be a master of the Void Spirit stage! The Void Spirit stage refers to the three realms of Yuan Ying, Chu Kong, and Fen Shen. This is merely the standard for crossing the valley and entering the Cloud Dream Marsh. Yang Tianwen couldn't help but think that this requirement was too high. No wonder there were countless teams gathered at the town entrance leading to the valley, with some scattered cultivators even recruiting people to enter the valley. Yang Tianwen knew his own abilities, and in terms of realm, he was only at the False Dan stage. However, in terms of true strength, he was powerful enough to be comparable to the Golden Dan stage. His combat power was probably around the Golden Dan stage as well. He was far from reaching the Yuan Ying stage. Wanting to venture into the Cloud Dream Marsh alone, he might not even be able to get past the entrance. Yang Tianwen had greatly underestimated the terror of the Cloud Dream Marsh.

  When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since you've come here, if you want to venture further, you can't help but cooperate with others. At this time, the vast number and advantage of scattered repairs are revealed.

  They can freely form teams without worrying about door-to-door views, as long as they report their own strengths, they can find some monks who can make up for their shortcomings. The spoils of war are distributed according to the needs of each person, or by the team leader, and such trust is built on long-term cooperation.

  Yang Tianwen observed for several days and locked onto a team of about five cultivators. Without exception, they were all in the late stage of Golden Dan cultivation. Over the past few days, they were also the only team among the twenty or so teams under Yang Tianwen's observation that returned safely without anyone missing. This was a treasure-hunting team consisting of three sword cultivators, one body cultivator, and one technique cultivator. Yang Tianwen bought many good things from them at very reasonable prices, and they didn't raise the price just because Yang Tianwen was a new stranger. This also made Yang Tianwen have a good impression of them, and over the past few days, both parties had a pleasant interaction. Of course, sometimes it wasn't all about exchanging jade stones for goods; more often than not, it was elixirs that were exchanged. Elixirs were indeed the most precious existence here, and many treasure hunters loved to exchange them, especially recovery-type and treatment-type elixirs.

  Yang Tianwen keenly grasped this business opportunity and took advantage of the time to observe the situation to refine a batch of restorative and therapeutic elixirs. The elixirs refined by Yang Tianwen were all fifth-grade spiritual elixirs, which happened to be suitable for use by Golden Elixir stage cultivators. There were also some sixth-grade restorative and therapeutic elixirs. However, because the quantity of sixth-grade demon elixirs was not large, the sales volume was extremely low in this place. Whether it was the canyon or the internal areas of Yunmeng Swamp, the existence of demonic beasts was very rare, so most of the demon elixirs here came from the surrounding mountains or even farther away from the mountain ranges. Besides, if you want to buy demon elixirs, you can go to Fulong Valley, where the quantity is large and the price is reasonable.
