Volume 3: Supreme Mysterious Yang Chapter 113: Wild Harvesting

  The second line of the sky came out, and Chu Jin just realized that he had been walking in the belly of the mountain all along. In front of his feet, there was a platform about ten square meters in size, and as far as the eye could see, it was a beautiful and strange landscape.

  This is a valley of unknown size. The valley is filled with strange trees, exuding a rich and dense spiritual energy, completely different from the eerie and ominous atmosphere when I first entered the Tian Yao Ridge.

  The most striking one is a thousand-meter waterfall tens of miles away, rolling down. Even though it's so far away, Chuyi can still hear the thunderous sound of the water clearly, and it's magnificent.

  "Monster Dragon Waterfall".

  His gaze locked onto the majestic waterfall in the distance, Chu Yi muttered to himself and recalled the relevant information recorded on the jade slip. This was indeed the core area of Tian Yao Ridge, and earlier, Yu Mian Gui Zhu had pointed out that "Tian Yao Qing Yan, a small exit, is considered to be the location of the Yao Shen Temple at the top of this waterfall."

  "In any case, heading in the direction of the Dragon Falls is one's first choice, even if not going to explore that demonic temple. This is also the best optional path. After all, the closer you get to the central area, the higher the probability of encountering the three major spiritual materials."

  Chu Yi made up his mind and suddenly dashed forward, like a shooting star, straight into the valley below, although he still didn't dare to confirm whether he was the first person to enter the central area.

  But Chu Yi dared to assert that at this moment, the cultivators who could set foot in this central area, including himself, would absolutely not exceed five people. After all, it had only been less than three days since entering the Tian Yao Ridge, and there was a powerful ninth-grade demon beast like the Jade-Faced Ghost Spider guarding the first line of heaven. Not everyone had the luck and strength to come here and harvest the three major spiritual materials.

  Indeed, as Chu Yi had expected. Even better than he had imagined, the resources in this valley were far more abundant than outside, several times or even dozens of times richer. In just two short days, Chu Yi had already gathered "Star King Grass", "Bodhi Root" and "True If" each over a hundred, far exceeding the amount that Tian Xuanzi had required them to collect in the Tian Yao Ridge.

  Apart from this, what made Chu Yi even more delighted was that within this valley, which could be called a treasure land of spiritual materials, dozens of rare spiritual materials that had already become extinct in the outside world were being nurtured.

  Conservative estimates put the value of these rare spiritual materials alone at over a million spirit stones. This was without taking into account the future value of nearly a hundred rare spiritual material seedlings that Chu Yi had specifically picked out. It wasn't until the third day, which was the sixth day since Chu Yi entered Tian Yao Ridge, when he once again discovered a place where spiritual materials were concentrated and was wildly harvesting them, that he finally found signs of someone else entering this place besides him.

  A charred mummy, along with a jade nameplate left beside the body that symbolized its identity. Silently announced that the good days of Chu Yi's door to pick spiritual materials had come to an end.

  Chu Yi took a glance at the palm-sized, dragon-turtle shaped jade token and recognized it as the unique identity badge of the Hidden Immortal Alliance's direct disciples. However, its owner was now unable to speak again.

  The Hidden Immortal Alliance is the most low-key sect among the nine major sects, but it does not mean that it is the weakest. On the contrary, the Hidden Immortal Alliance has always been in a middle-to-upper position among the nine major sects. Even compared to the Supreme Void Yang Sect, it is only slightly stronger.

  It is said that the Hidden Immortal Alliance is different from other sects in the Nine Great Upper Doors, with a small number of disciples. Truly being taken under its wing and able to be called an orthodox disciple of the Hidden Immortals are only over 800 people. Compared to other sects in the Nine Great Upper Doors which have tens of millions of outer sect disciples and nearly ten thousand inner sect disciples, this number is really pitifully small.

  But it's worth mentioning that these eight hundred disciples are all said to have the strength of a direct disciple from another sect, which shows just how powerful the hidden immortal alliance is. To put this in perspective, even the Daluo Heaven Sect, one of the top nine sects and arguably the strongest, only has around five hundred direct disciples.

  "Able to take down the Hidden Immortal Alliance's direct disciple, and at that with a fire-type divine ability, burning the opponent to ashes. This kind of strength is probably enough to rank among the top on the Heavenly Earth Xuan Huang List."

  The storage ring on the corpse in front of him had long since disappeared. Chu Yihou dug a hole and buried it on the spot, only then did he turn around and leave.

  Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the forest, separated by several miles, and Chu Yi's face changed abruptly, "It's the voice of Nie Shixiong"

  Distinguishing the direction clearly, Chu Yi's body method was fully displayed, and he rushed towards the source of the sound like a gust of wind.

  A stone cliff far away from the village, with five "star king grass" swaying in the gentle breeze, emitting a refreshing and intoxicating fragrance that makes people drunk.

  A monster with a body over three zhang long, with the head of an ox, the body of a tiger and the tail of a horse, with a pair of wings on its back, was fighting with Nie Meng Shan in one place. The monster's strength was incredibly great. Even though Nie Meng Shan was known for his powerful physique and great strength, he was still repeatedly knocked flying by the monster when they clashed head-on.

  Moreover, this demon's entire body was covered in black scales as hard as gold steel. Even with Nie Meng Shan's strength, he couldn't break through its defenses.

  Fighting furiously, Nie Mengshan also became enraged. The Heavenly King's divine armor and divine communication were activated, covering his body with a golden armor, completely ignoring the fierce claws of the demonic beast, and launched the Nine-Phase Ox Demon Fist at the demonic beast in a frenzy.

  Nie Meng Shan's sudden explosion instantly suppressed the ferocious beast, believing that with just a little more time, it would be enough to blast it apart.

  That monster seemed to know it was in trouble, let out a strange whistle, and in the time of just a few breaths, suddenly a figure flashed out from behind.

  The fierce and intense battle of Nie Mengshan only saw a flash of red light in front of him, and a strip of red light rushed towards him. The Nine-Phase Ox Demon Fist slammed into it, but was repelled by the enormous force contained within, sending him flying dozens of feet away. Thanks to the protection of the Heavenly King's armor, he was not injured. However, the casual and effortless manner in which this was done made Nie Mengshan realize that he was facing a formidable opponent.

  The red shadow fell in front of the demon beast, and the originally ferocious and violent demon beast actually became as obedient as a little kitten, crawling on the ground in front of the red shadow, not daring to move at all. Filled with reverence.

  "You dare to bully my little brother? Cut off your right arm and get out!"

  That red shadow was a girl wearing bright red clothes, looking like 15 or 16 years old, with a beautiful and elegant appearance. She could be called a peerless beauty, with a red ribbon hanging from her shoulder, which was apparently the same red whip that had just repelled Nianman Mountain.

  "What a big tone!"

  Nie Meng Shan glanced at the other party. He couldn't tell which sect they belonged to, neither did they seem like someone from the Nine Great Sects nor the Eight Demon Sects. Instead, there was a hint of an enchanting aura about them that made one want to stare for a few more glances. There was an irresistible attraction.

  "This young lady, no matter what sect or school you are from, the Star King Grass here was first discovered by Nie Mou. If you block me forcibly, I can only apologize." Nie Man Shan is still an honest person after all, and after a moment of hesitation, he still left some leeway for the other party.

  "I'm so sick of you fake strong cultivators who don't have any real skills. If it weren't for my master's orders not to take your life, I wouldn't bother wasting my breath on you. You'd better cut off your own right arm and be done with it, or else if I have to do it myself, it won't just be a matter of one arm."

  "You are a demon beast in disguise"

  Nie Mengshan's reaction was quick enough, and upon hearing this, he immediately came to his senses. His face changed slightly as he said, "In that case, Nie doesn't need to be polite with you either. Take the punch."

  "Hmph, just you wait." The red-clothed girl's figure was extremely agile, and as soon as Nie Mengshan moved, she had already burst forth more than ten zhang in an instant. Her hand, holding the red cord, suddenly shot out like a dragon emerging from a cave, striking straight at Nie Mengshan's chest.

  Wearing the "Tianwang Shenkao", Nie Mengshan didn't worry at all, his fist strength increased instead. He let the red ribbon strike him freely. The Jiuxiang Niumo Fist was launched fiercely, directly targeting the girl's neck and head, with a few hints of ruthless haste.

  Just as one punch was about to smash the opponent's head into a pulp, the girl let out a soft laugh. Her body seemed to disappear instantly in front of Nie Mengshan, and that red thread pierced deeply into Nie Mengshan's chest. Even with the astonishing defensive power of the Heavenly King's armor, it was actually broken through by this one strike, revealing a clear rift.

  "This red yarn, is it a treasure?"

  Nie Mengshan's combat experience was extremely rich, and he pursued the attack without hesitation, already exerting his full strength. The Nine Ox Demon Fist was used to its extreme, each punch striking out with a force of ten thousand kilograms, enough to shatter the earth and leave people aghast.

  But what made him depressed and shocked was that the red-clothed girl, like a ghost, every time he thought he could hit her, just saw the red shadow flash in front of his eyes, and then struck empty air, consuming a lot of his energy, but not even touching the corner of her clothes.

  "You big guy may have some strength now, but once this young lady breaks your arms, you'll be unable to throw a punch in the future."

  The red-clothed girl's words were laced with a fierce and ruthless tone, which also caused Nie Mengshan's chest to ignite with anger, his body frozen in place. At the moment of his furious roar, Zhou Yi's palm technique was unleashed, its power and coverage area extremely vast, an ancient divine ability that was suddenly activated.

  Since the opponent's movement is agile and unpredictable, I can only use this unorthodox palm to force them into a desperate situation.

  A blue giant palm rose to the sky, carrying a violent destructive force that pressed down. With Niefeng Mountain as its center, an extremely strong oppressive aura enveloped several dozen square meters in an instant.

  The red-clothed girl also slightly furrowed her eyebrows, and her pupils actually turned from black to red, revealing a heart-thrilling crimson hue.

  "Get up, Hunchback!"

  But just as she saw the girl throw up the red ribbon in her hand, it turned into a blood-red strip and rushed to meet the giant green palm that was crashing down.

  A scene that left Nianman Mountain stunned occurred, the invincible Zhou Yi's palm was suddenly pierced by this red ribbon, and in the blink of an eye it collapsed into nothingness.

  "This is indeed a great divine technique that can rival the Golden Elixir True Man!"

  "This treasure, the red ribbon in her hand is absolutely a treasure-level magic tool, and at least it's an upper-grade treasure-like existence,"

  The red-clothed girl's pupils had returned to their normal color, but her pretty face was cold and a fierce aura that didn't match her beautiful appearance rose from her body. "I want your life!"

  The next moment, the red streak in the sky transformed into a blood-colored light dragon, which suddenly appeared in front of Nie Mengshan with an extremely fast speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye. With his cultivation strength, which was enough to rival that of an ordinary Golden Dan cultivator, he couldn't even react half a point before it happened.

  "You little demon, don't hurt my senior brother"

  Red silk was swift, but a golden light shadow was swifter.
