436: 344 Got Rich_1 436: 344 Got Rich_1 The spiritual energy here was exceptionally abundant, nurturing a plethora of spirit plants.
Tree People didn’t bother with common spirit plants, rcilessly draining their life force.
Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, which emitted a piercing chirp as its eyes sparkled with golden light.
“Heavenly dicine Peak!
I hope there are rare Spiritual dicines.”
Shen Long’s face revealed a delighted smile as he walked out.
One hundred and eighty miles away, there was a steep peak.
At the foot of the mountain stood a green stone stele over ten zhang tall with the golden words “Heavenly dicine Peak” inscribed on it.
The area above the mountainside was covered in a green mist.
Shen Long flew in from a distance, landing less than fifty zhang from the ground.
A sapling sprouted from the ground beneath his feet, rapidly growing into a towering, hundred-zhang tall tree.
An astonishing scene unfolded: Behind Shen Long, the vegetation visibly withered at a rate visible to the naked eye, the green leaves swiftly turned to yellow, sturdy trunks rapidly shrank, and petals withered quickly as if drained of their life force.
Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada and conjured a giant Puppet Beast.
With a clench of his spell, the Puppet Beast strode towards the mountain.
Thick green vines burst from the ground, quickly entangling its body.
At the sa ti, thorns on the surface of the vines grew rapidly, striking the Puppet Beast like swords with a muffled sound.
Shen Long opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of green flas onto the green vines.
The green vines instantaneously vanished into nothing, but soon, the ground sprouted a vast number of green vines again, heading straight for the Puppet Beast.
With another clench of his spell, the green flas swiftly expanded, covering half of the mountain peak.
The Puppet Beast continued its march toward the summit, stepping into the green mist.
Through the Hundred Eyes Cicada, Shen Long could clearly see the Puppet Beast reaching the entrance of a manor.
The signboard of the manor bore the green characters “Heavenly dicine Garden,” covered by a thick green light screen.
Shen Long stored the Tree Person and the Hundred Eyes Cicada and strode up the mountain to the entrance of the Heavenly dicine Garden.
With a clench of his spell, the green flas suddenly condensed, transforming into a massive Green Fire Phoenix.
It flapped its wings and crashed into the green light screen.
A booming explosion followed, and the green flas engulfed most of the green light screen.
The light of the green light screen dimd, becoming faint as if it could dissipate at any mont.
Shen Long threw a punch at the green light screen.
Following a thunderous sound, the green light screen shattered like a bursting bubble, with the green flas transforming back into a Green Fire Phoenix, flying back into his sleeve.
Shen Long opened his Divine Sense wide, quickly scanning the entire Spirit dicine Garden.
Most of the spirit dicines and spirit fruit trees were dead.
He arrived in front of a spirit field and saw a lush, towering tree.
Upon close observation, the tree constantly emitted streams of spiritual energy.
“A Spirit Eye Tree!”
Shen Long exclaid in surprise, his expression excited.
The Spirit Eye Tree was the most superior of spirit objects, the older its age, the more abundant the spiritual energy it radiated, capable of changing the richness of an area’s spiritual energy.
The Spirit Eye Tree before him was over ten thousand years old.
Transplanting it to the third level of the Myriad Beasts Tower, the nature’s spiritual energy of the third level would beco even more abundant.
The longer the ti, the more abundant the spiritual energy.
Shen Long arrayed the Formation Flags and Disks to set up an Array, conjured the Qinglian Vase, and transplanted the Spirit Eye Tree into it, storing it within the vase.
He approached another plot, where he saw an all-black, towering tree.
“It’s actually one of the Ten Great Spiritual Woods, the Soul Nourishing Wood.”
Shen Long was ecstatic.
The Soul Nourishing Wood before him was also over ten thousand years old, more than enough for crafting Spiritual Treasures.
If one’s Artifact Refining skill was high enough, it could even be used to make Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures.
In his early years, Shen Long had acquired a few hundred-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood and had soone refine it into a Magic Artifact that he wore on his body, nourishing his Divine Soul.
As his Cultivation improved, that Magic Artifact beca less useful.
He could cut off a segnt of the Soul Nourishing Wood and ask Chu Buyu to refine a Spiritual Treasure.
Shen Long set up another Formation and, using the Qinglian Vase, stored the Soul Nourishing Wood inside.
Apart from these two Spirit Woods, the rest of the spirit fields’ dicinal plants and spirit fruit trees had all died.
He arrived in front of a three-storied green pavilion, its signboard inscribed with the golden characters “Heavenly dicine Pavilion.”
With a clench of his spell, the Puppet Beast strode forward, pushing open the door and entering.
After a round inside the pavilion, with nothing unusual detected, Shen Long’s Divine Sense scrutinized every corner of the interior without finding anything strange, and he then proceeded inside.
He reached the entrance of a secret chamber, its door tightly shut, flanked by two other rooms with firmly closed doors.
A Green Fire Phoenix flew out as Shen Long flicked his sleeve, crashing into the door.
The door quickly cracked and shattered into pieces, revealing a plain stone room holding a green Array of over ten zhang in size.
The Array had hundreds of uniformly-sized grooves, each containing a grayish-white stone, the Spirit Stones that had been drained of spiritual energy.
Opening the door to the second chamber, a vast room of over a hundred zhang ca into view with a pool several dozen zhang in size within, filled with black liquid.
Three Heavenly Soul Dark Lotuses floated on the pool’s surface.
“Heavenly Soul Dark Lotuses over ten thousand years old.”
Shen Long drew a sharp breath, the black liquid clearly being the Heavenly Soul True Water.
He carefully harvested the three Heavenly Soul Dark Lotuses and collected all of the Heavenly Soul True Water.
Upon opening the door to the third chamber, a pure and intense surge of spiritual energy rushed out, presenting a stone chamber of over a hundred zhang to Shen Long’s view.
In the chamber’s bottom left corner was a pool over ten zhang in size, covered by a range of stalactites of varying lengths, with so milky white liquid inside.
Shen Long approached the pool and took a light sniff, his spirit jolted.
“Ten thousand year-old spiritual milk!”
Shen Long’s expression was agitated.
A single drop of ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Milk could instantly restore a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s mana without any side effects.
Shen Long took out a golden jade vase and collected the ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Milk from the pool; there were more than a hundred drops.
The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Spirit Eye Tree, Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Soul Nourishing Wood, ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Milk, and the Heavenly Soul Dark Lotus that was over ten thousand years old—any of these items would cause a frenzy among Nascent Soul Cultivators if placed outside, especially the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Soul Nourishing Wood, which could be used to refine a Spiritual Treasure of the Divine Soul, constantly enhancing the Divine Soul Power.
The longer it was worn, the better the effect.
“What kind of place is this?
How co there are so many good things here, and who put these things here?”
Shen Long was full of confusion.
Logically, if this was the site of a major power, there should be cultivators living in the Spirit dicine Garden to guard it, and there would definitely be traces of life, such as materials for artifact refining, jade slips, ditation mats, incense burners, tea sets, and other things, but after he road around the Heavenly dicine Pavilion, he found none of these things.
“It doesn’t seem like a ruin at all; there are no buildings, nor have I found any remains or relics of Human Cultivators.”
Shen Long voiced his doubts.
He had ventured through many dangerous places before, which were frequented by cultivators, and it was possible to find the remains or relics of Human Cultivators in those places.
The fact that there were none here was peculiar.
“This place doesn’t seem like a ruin; it’s more like a forbidden area.”
Shen Long analyzed.
He sensed sothing and with a flick of his wrist, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox flew out of the Spirit Beast Bracelet.
“Conceal the Heavenly dicine Peak.”
Shen Long instructed.
The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox flew out, spewing a large swath of green mist that enveloped the entire Heavenly dicine Peak.
A breeze blew by, the green mist dispersed, and the Heavenly dicine Peak vanished, replaced by an open field—an illusion technique.
After a while, a thirty-foot-long green Flying Boat flew in from afar, with Qin Biao, Sun Hai, and a sweet-faced woman in a golden dress standing on it, their expressions varied.
“What’s the deal with these plants?
Do they seem to have been drained of life force, the result of cultivators’ dueling?”
Sun Hai speculated, his gaze falling on the withered vegetation.
“Could it be an illusion or so sort of restriction?”
The woman in the golden dress suggested.
Qin Biao flicked his sleeve, and a giant fireball flew out, smashing onto the withered plants.
A trendous booming sound erupted, a swath of red flas spread, and the fire quickly grew.
After a short ti, the flas dissipated, leaving a hundred li of scorched earth, bereft of a single plant.
“It’s not a restriction or an illusion; it seems like the work of a Wood Demon.”
Qin Biao said.
Just then, ripples appeared in a certain open area and hundreds of yellow-light flickering sand arrows shot out, heading straight for the three of them.
“Bad news, we’re under attack!
Be careful.”
Qin Biao said with a frown, throwing punches into the void.
A piercing sound of tearing through the air ensued as dense golden fist shadows flew out to et the attack.
Sun Hai conjured a blue umbrella, deploying a thick blue water screen to protect them, while the woman in the golden dress ford a spell with her hands, steering the green Flying Boat back the way they had co.
The green Flying Boat had only flown about thirty feet when a powerful gravitational force erged from the ground, slowing it down, and uncontrollably, the Flying Boat started to plunge towards the ground.
The dense golden fist shadows collided with the yellow sand arrows, annihilating each other, illuminating the sky with golden and yellow Spiritual Light as the shockwave rolled through the air.
A hundred, three-foot-long white ice blades shot forth and successively struck the blue water screen, causing ripples to spread across its surface.
One of the white ice blades shone with blinding light, revealing an Ice Flood Dragon within.
“A fourth-tier Flood Dragon!”
Qin Biao and the others turned deathly pale, terrified out of their wits.
Just as they were about to scatter, a high-pitched, ear-piercing shriek sounded, stunning them and leaving them dazed and disoriented.
The Ice Flood Dragon opened its jaws wide and shot out a beam of white light, hitting the blue water screen, which instantly froze and turned into a massive ice sculpture.
Its tail whipped fiercely, like a white long whip striking the massive ice sculpture, shattering it into pieces.
Two Nascent Souls flew out from within, their faces panic-stricken.
Tens of li away in the void, a golden light flared, and Qin Biao appeared, his face one of utter terror.
Had it not been for his Tribulation-Substituting Treasure, he would have been killed.
The ground shook violently, the gravity surged, and Qin Biao’s body rapidly fell toward the ground.
He spat out a golden hamr that he infused with mana, and it imdiately grew in size, transforming into a colossal golden hamr that slamd into the ground.
With a thunderous roar, the ground shook violently, forming a long, deep crack as dust billowed.
