Jian Yinsan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with determination.
In the depths of the mountain, a splash erupted from a pool of water.
Chen Mo leaped out, evaporating the moisture, holding a white herb in his hand. A faint mist lingered around him.
[Acquired high-grade Immortal Material: Heavenly Heart Mist Grass.]
Seeing the notification flash before him, Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.
The location was indeed correct.
The Heavenly Heart Mist Grass was an essential material for refining Creation Golden Pills, Turtle and Crane Longevity Elixir... and other Divine-Grade Pills. Even consuming it directly could extend one’s life by nearly a decade!
*For those Great Powers with dwindling life spans, it was incredibly tempting!*
*Without saying more, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to exchange it for a few Heaven Rank Techniques, right?*
Chen Mo stored the Spirit Grass and continued toward the next location.
Soon, a figure in a moon white Daoist robe arrived gracefully.
Ling Ningzhi walked slowly toward the pool. The water parted to either side, revealing the bottom of the pool completely.
"Hmm? Why isn’t there anything?"
"Strange, I clearly calculated that there would be Heavenly Heart Grass here... the chance has dispersed, and the Spiritual Energy is gone. It seems someone got here first."
Ling Ningzhi’s expression was somewhat resigned.
The Spirit Fruit was , and so were the Immortal Herbs.
*The opportunity was clearly right in front of her, yet she always missed it at the last moment.*
"Could this be destiny?"
The sound of footsteps echoed.
Shen Zhixia caught up from behind, asking, "Daoist, how is it? Did you get the Immortal Herb?"
Ling Ningzhi shook her head, "Someone got there first."
"Someone was faster than you?"
Shen Zhixia was a bit surprised upon hearing this.
The Tianshu Pavilion excelled at divining heavenly secrets, and with Ling Ningzhi’s Dao skills, finding treasures was as easy as taking something from a bag.
Under the third-grade, could someone actually get ahead of her?
"Do not underestimate the cultivators of the world. The other party might possess secret techniques... We need to hurry."
Ling Ningzhi performed a spell and slightly closed her eyes, sensing the energy in the void.
"Northeast, thirty li."
The two of them flew swiftly without touching the ground, crossing dozens of miles of mountain roads in an instant.
Arriving at a place among the mountains, they saw a pale golden sprout growing from a crevice in the rocks, but the petals and stamens above it had already been picked.
"Premium Celestial Material, Golden Thread Stone Flower, blooms once every two cycles, also one of the raw materials for Creation Golden Pills..."
"And we are late again?"
Ling Ningzhi was dazed for a moment.
*Why did it feel like someone was deliberately targeting her?*
On the summit of Medicine Mountain.
An old tree rooted itself on a cliff, with its roots deeply embedded in the rock like eagle claws.
The bark was shriveled, and the branches decayed, appearing lifeless. Yet amidst the bark’s cracks, amber-like sap gathered.
Chen Mo inserted a pre-prepared hollow wooden rod into the tree crevice, with a jade bottle underneath. The sap dripped into the bottle, soon accumulating nearly half a bottle.
[Acquired Premium Celestial Material: Spring Beauty Jade Dew.]
This was the main material for refining the Youthful Elixir, capable of rejuvenating a withered tree and maintaining eternal youth.
"So much Spiritual Liquid, accumulated over hundreds of years, enough to refine a dozen Youthful Elixirs!"
"Old mother, Empress, Zhixia, Little Tiger... One each is more than enough."
"Hmm, I can also give the Busty Empress one. After all, I clashed with the Phoenix Butt last time, it’s best to appease her a bit, lest she keeps thinking about castrating me..."
Suddenly, Chen Mo sensed something and turned his head to look.
A man flew up to the peak, his black robe fluttering dramatically.
Chen Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Zi Lianji saw the ancient tree on the cliff and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Rock Wood, Crystalized Jade Dew, the Spiritual Energy here is dense. I knew there would be a harvest!"
Although Youthful Elixirs couldn’t extend life, they could ensure one never aged.
*For someone who valued appearance as much as he did, he couldn’t accept the idea of being old and wrinkled.*
*He was determined to get this Spring Beauty Jade Dew!*
Zi Lianji stepped forward, directly reaching for the jade bottle, paying no heed to Chen Mo.
In the next moment, he felt a chill down his spine and instinctively backed away.
A dazzling blade light flashed, striking where he had just been.
Like a hot knife through butter, the ground silently split, leaving a mirror-like smooth surface. A massive ravine almost cut through the mountain!
Zi Lianji’s pupils slightly contracted.
*Even he wouldn’t dare take the brunt of this blade’s power head-on!*
*And he didn’t even see how the other person made their move!*
*Initially, seeing this little Taoist’s weak aura, he thought he was an easy target, but unexpectedly, his skills were so hard-hitting!*
"So, you’re a Martial Cultivator?"
Zi Lianji raised an eyebrow, saying, "This Spiritual Liquid is of no benefit to cultivation. It’s not very useful for you. I can offer thirty Spiritual Marrow for a trade."
*Ha, when force failed, he resorted to bargaining?*
*A mere thirty Spiritual Marrow wouldn’t even buy a single drop of Spiritual Liquid, yet this guy wanted a whole bottle, shameless as a city wall...*
Chen Mo couldn’t be bothered with him, saying calmly, "Cross the line and die."
A hint of Evil Qi flashed in Zi Lianji’s eyes.
If it were any other time, he wouldn’t mind testing the other’s skills.
But considering the Great Power’s legacy was at stake, any mishap would be a major loss...
At this moment, a gust of wind passed by.
Ling Ningzhi and Shen Zhixia arrived at the mountain peak.
Zi Lianji’s eyes lit up when he saw them, "Fairy Qingxuan, Junior Sister Shen, you’ve come at the right time. Let’s join forces to take this Spring Beauty Jade Dew and split it afterward, shall we?"
No woman could resist the allure of Youthful Elixirs.
*This man had some skill, but he certainly couldn’t withstand the joint effort of three Heavenly Prides!*
Heavenly materials and treasures belonged to those with virtue. Whoever was stronger should have it, and he saw no problem with this approach.
