"The four of them are in luck," someone said.
The four Venerables from the Peacock Clan following Kong Lingxiang all showed a trace of envy on their faces, obviously feeling some disappointment for not having had the chance to partake in the snake soup.
Kong Lingxiang, however, had a grave look on her face, "When that young man mentioned grilling a Golden Crow, could it be that he was serious?"
At the time, everyone thought Lin Yi was merely joking. Now it appeared that the young man might not have been all talk.
Given the chance, that guy really might do something so audacious!
Lin Yi and the four Peacock Clan Venerables had already entered deep into the rocky mountains.
Within this stony area, they collected numerous Treasure Medicines, among which there were even several stalks of Quasi-Saint Medicine.
If brought outside, these would undoubtedly fetch a high price.
"With so many Treasure Medicines growing here, this place truly is an unparalleled Blessed Land."
Lin Yi stroked his chin, gazing at the region before him, his eyes flickering with a strange light.
The density of Treasure Medicines here was too concentrated, even for the Ancient Land. It was excessively extraordinary, and why was it that in other parts of the Phoenix Ancient Nest, the quantity of Treasure Medicines didn’t even come close to this place?
At that moment, the body of one of the stony mountains suddenly began to shake, and at its center, a crack appeared, over a hundred meters long!
From within the crack, streams of multicolored mist emerged, shooting straight into the sky, covering the sun and darkening the sky, turning the whole world into a dreamy and intensely Spiritual Energy-filled place!
Lin Yi’s face showed a look of surprise, and immediately, he descended into the crack, entering the belly of the mountain.
Below this stone mountain, the life force was rich and invigorating; there must be a rare treasure hidden.
Sure enough, before long, Lin Yi saw a stream of silvery-white Spiritual Spring in his line of sight, from which the multicolored mist was emanating!
"Could this be... a Holy-grade Spirit Spring?"
A look of shock appeared on Lin Yi’s face. The energy in the spirit spring was extremely pure—it was indeed a legendary Holy-grade Spirit Spring!
This was a huge find!
Lin Yi immediately took out dozens of large jars, ready to collect the Holy-grade Spirit Spring.
But just then, the ground below him suddenly exploded, and myriad roots burst through the stone, sweeping toward Lin Yi!
Lin Yi struck with the Meteor Sword, but to his astonishment, even with the edge of the Holy Sword, he could not sever the roots; they only emitted dazzling sparks!
Lin Yi’s eyes widened. What kind of tree was this that not even a Holy Sword could damage it?
"This is the Ancient Divine Tree, the Holy Demon Ancient Tree! Its strength is comparable to that of a Saint; it is likely the guardian of this Holy-grade Spirit Spring. You are not its match yet!"
The voice of the lady Sword Spirit in white suddenly rang in Lin Yi’s ears.
"What? A tree with strength comparable to a Saint?"
Lin Yi was so shocked that he was nearly speechless. Was this the profound depth of the Ancient Phoenix Nest; even a tree had become a Saint!
A tree of Saintly strength, in this Phoenix Ancient Nest, accessible only to those in the Venerable Realm, wasn’t it invincible? Who could be its opponent?
Although Lin Yi was startled, he did not immediately leave the area. After all, it was a Holy-grade Spirit Spring, and who could bear to walk away without trying?
"The Holy Demon Ancient Tree has incredible defensive power, but its weakness lies in its offense and speed. If you use the Sword Domain to restrain it, you might still have a chance," the lady Sword Spirit in white advised once more.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yi activated his Sword Domain, warping the space around him. The roots slowed significantly as they became covered by the Sword Domain.
Lin Yi’s eyes lit up. With the Sword Domain restricting the Holy Demon Ancient Tree’s movements, he grew bold, immediately darting to the side of the Holy-grade Spirit Spring and began to collect it in large jars.
He moved swiftly, and before the storm-like rush of tendrils could reach him, he had already collected two large jars of Holy-grade Spirit Spring water.
Then, without a moment’s delay, he bolted toward the outer edge of the stone mountain!
However, having had two large jars of Spirit Spring taken by Lin Yi, the Holy Demon Ancient Tree was undoubtedly enraged. Its vast network of roots and vines, now coated with Thunder Runes, burst forth from the belly of the mountain, clearly unwilling to let Lin Yi leave so easily!
The stone mountain exploded, and a figure shot out suddenly—it was Lin Yi!
The four Peacock Clan Venerables, watching Lin Yi escape so frantically, looked puzzled.
With the strength that Lin Yi possessed, which was almost akin to recklessness within this Phoenix Ancient Nest, could he actually suffer a setback?
However, Lin Yi had no time to explain further, "There’s a Holy Demon Ancient Tree inside, and it’s gone berserk!"
The expressions of the four Peacock Clan Venerables turned to utter shock. But before they could ask for more details, the stone mountain had already shattered and a massive shadow emerged from within!
Just as Lin Yi had said, the Holy Demon Ancient Tree had entered a furious state—its myriad branches and roots, now covered in Thunder Runes, poured down like a tempestuous waterfall, rushing madly toward them!
"Is it really a Holy Demon Ancient Tree?"
The four Peacock Clan Venerables went pale instantly, without a second thought, they transformed into their Peacock forms and fled at breakneck speed!
