In the blink of an eye, Yang Chen disappeared from this place, heading straight for the depths of the inner area of Monster Beast Mountain.
At a glance, one could see the Lingcao plants growing everywhere in this unique place. These were all top-quality treasures that, although they were not visible to Yang Chen’s dharma eyes, collecting them would be a pretty decent choice.
However, Yang Chen was not focused on this; he was not in a hurry to collect treasures.
For him, coming to an unfamiliar place and thoroughly observing the area was the most crucial thing.
In fact, the whole inner area of Monster Beast Mountain was filled with strangeness.
“Strange!” Yang Chen murmured to himself, “Although I haven’t seen many treasures yet, the ‘Starflame Grass’ should have grown in this inner area of Monster Beast Mountain without any accidents. You know, this ‘Starflame
Grass’ is very difficult to grow in the place where I used to live.”
The growth of a spiritual object requires very demanding conditions.
Such divine objects as Starflame Grass cannot naturally grow without the abundant Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
“With such an abundant aura of spiritual energy…” Yang Chen muttered to himself, “If used properly, this place would be a treasure land for cultivation. If I were to cultivate here for a long time, it wouldn’t be difficult to enter the Spirit Martial Realm within a year. Ten days would be enough for me to break through to the Body Refining Realm 8th level.”
“How could such a strong spiritual energy appear in such a remote place like the Great Wilderness? And why are the demonic beasts so weak despite such a rich spiritual energy?”
Yang Chen couldn’t understand it.
Demonic beasts, like martial artists, have high demands for Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
It’s not obvious at the Body Refining Realm yet, but when one reaches the later stages of Body Refining Realm, one would gradually realize the importance of refining Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi to temper the body.
Once in the Spirit Martial Realm, one can hardly do without Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi. Why are there so few masters in the Spirit Martial Realm within the Great Wilderness, and even if there were, they were mostly at the First Level of Spirit Martial Realm?
It’s because the spiritual energy in the Great Wilderness is too scarce to support the cultivation of masters in the Spirit Martial Realm.
The same is true for demonic beasts. With such strong Heaven and Earth Spirit
Qi, it should be more than enough to cultivate demonic beasts beyond the Spirit Martial Realm. However, people in the Great Wilderness obviously don’t think so. Moreover, Yang Chen had yet to encounter any powerful demonic beasts along the way.
“Weird, weird!” Yang Chen couldn’t make sense of it.
He knew that there must be some hidden secrets in this Monster Beast Mountain.
“Forget it, if I can’t figure it out, there’s no need to think about it. I’ve been here for a while now, and there doesn’t seem to be any danger, so I can start collecting some treasures.” Yang Chen thought to himself.
To be on the safe side, he still applied the Demon-averting Talisman to his body.
With this spirit talisman, he could prevent demonic beasts from approaching him.
Once the spirit talisman was attached to his body, Yang Chen began to move around and search all over the place.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the entire inner area of Monster Beast Mountain is full of treasures. As Yang Chen searched along the way, he found that the Heaven and Earth Spirit treasures that the Chamber of Commerce in the outside world had to spend a large number of Spirit Stones to purchase were actually available all over the place.
This made Yang Chen even more excited: “If I really collect things this way, my plan to enter the Spirit Martial Realm will also be hopeful.”
With this thought in mind, Yang Chen didn’t hesitate to collect every treasure he saw, sparing no expense.
Just like this, Yang Chen arrived at the bank of a wide river.
When? Yang Chen arrived on the bank of the river, he narrowed his eyes. His keen sensitivity from his previous life allowed him to detect something amiss: “Who’s there!”
“There are humans; we’ve been discovered!”
A head suddenly popped out of the river. After saying those words, it immediately jumped back into the water.
When Yang Chen sensed this, he was shocked: ‘Mermaid Clan?”
He saw it clearly – the head that had just emerged from the river was a beautiful woman with fish scales on her shoulders and no clothes on. She looked lovely and delicate, with a sweet and charming voice, seemingly afraid of humans. The moment she noticed Yang Chen, she dove back into the river, disappearing from sight.
If not for Yang Chen’s sharp senses and quick reaction, he might not have discovered her, or he may have mistaken her for a water demonic beast. “The Mermaid Tribe… how is that possible?” Yang Chen could barely believe his eyes.
Wasn’t it said that the Mermaid Tribe only lived in ancient times? What were they doing here?
What on earth was going on?
Yang Chen wanted to investigate, but when he saw the unfathomably deep river, he immediately dismissed the idea.
With his current level of martial arts cultivation, it was almost impossible for him to explore such a deep river.
But Yang Chen kept this matter in mind.
He didn’t linger for long and left the area after making a brief detour.
Just like that, an hour passed in a flash.
The effect of the Demon-averting Talisman gradually faded, and Yang Chen became more cautious.
As he walked along the river and through the woods, he suddenly heard some noises and looked ahead with a wry smile: “It’s them!”
Whether by coincidence or fate, he ran into Feng Xiaotian, the genius of the Feng family, and Murong Liuhe, the genius of the Murong family.
However, at this time, Feng Xiaotian and Murong Liuhe appeared quite embarrassed. Not long after they entered the Beast Mountain, they encountered the wolf pack in front of them. The pack had more than a dozen wolves, each with a martial arts cultivation equivalent to a human in the Body Refining Realm Sixth Stage.
But the Wolf King was even stronger. From what Yang Chen observed, it was almost on par with a human martial artist’s Body Refining Realm Seventh Layer level.
“No wonder Feng Xiaotian and Murong Liuhe are in such a sorry state. Having encountered this wolf pack, they are really down on their luck,” laughed Yang
Chen. “I have a good relationship with the Feng family, and the patriarch of the Feng family even gave me a life-saving treasure. Moreover, Murong Liuhe is quite a decent person, so it’s only right that I help them. However, I don’t need to make a move right away.”
Yang Chen was patient.
However, Feng Xiaotian and Murong Liuhe were getting restless.
The two were clearly cornered by the wolf pack, looking quite battered. Both of them had wounds from the wolves’ bites, dripping blood and enduring great pain.
“Brother Feng, what should we do? These wolves are not easy to deal with,” said Murong Liuhe, gritting his teeth.
“If we want to survive, we have to kill the Wolf King!” Feng Xiaotian clenched his teeth.
Murong Liuhe took a deep breath: “Though I know the principle of capturing the king first, the Wolf King is well-hidden behind the pack. It’s impossible to deal with it. Besides, its strength isn’t weaker than these wolves. Killing it is not as easy as it seems!”
“Damn it, are we really so unlucky that we’ll die in Beast Mountain?” Feng Xiaotian was filled with unwillingness..
