NOVPUBGu Lie had only struck once, and already sent Mo Junling flying.
"Good! Divine General Gu Lie, help me seize the Heavenly Dragon Sword!"
The Thirteenth Prince burst into laughter upon seeing this.
"Brother Blade, should we join in?"
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man seemed eager to act, interested in the Heavenly Dragon Sword that could sharpen one’s Martial Arts will, break through to the Soul Realm, and contained a Sword Soul.
Furthermore, in these chaotic waters, there might be a chance to join hands with Gu Lie and others to eliminate Mo Junling.
"If you want to go, go by yourself; I’m not interested."
Su Changkong had no intention of wading into these murky waters.
The main reason, of course, was that the Heavenly Dragon Sword was of little use to him since he had already reshaped his Blade Soul; intervening in the struggle for the Heavenly Dragon Sword was unnecessary.
Moreover, Su Changkong saw that the two from the Yan Family and the brothers from the Ferocious Wolf King Court hadn’t gone to fight for the Heavenly Dragon Sword, but instead had quickened their pace towards the end of the Profound Ice Road; clearly, they planned to take advantage of the struggle over the sword to look for treasures elsewhere.
If they were too late, they might lose out on a greater opportunity for a lesser one.
"Sigh..."
Seeing Su Changkong head towards the end of the Profound Ice Road, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man, feeling helpless, had no choice but to follow, as he didn’t have the confidence to face Mo Junling and the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl alone.
The noise behind them gradually faded as Su Changkong and the other five passed through the Profound Ice Road.
A wide path appeared ahead, shrouded in grey mist, leading in different directions.
Ba Chen, the brave warrior of the Ferocious Wolf King Court, glanced at everyone and said, "Fellow explorers, this Cave Heaven and Blessed Land is filled with treasures. There’s no need for us to fight to the death. Instead, let us part ways here and each explore in a direction of our choosing. How does that sound?"
This proposal from Ba Chen made everyone nod slightly.
Indeed, it was unrealistic for one person to monopolize all the treasures in the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky; it was better to spread out, each relying on their own abilities.
The Thirteenth Prince, Gu Lie, as well as the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl and Mo Junling were involved in the dispute over the Heavenly Dragon Sword, which was expected to delay them for some time. It was best if they didn’t hinder each other’s efforts now and took the opportunity to acquire other treasures instead.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man sniffed lightly, and discreetly said, "Then we shall explore the east."
Seeing this, Su Changkong understood that the Heavenly Corpse Old Man was very sensitive to scents and must have discovered something to be the first to speak up and choose the east.
"We will explore the west of the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky."
Yan Ru said, opting to explore in the opposite direction with Yan Zhong.
"Then my brother and I can only explore the north."
Ba Chen said.
Three groups of people each went their separate ways, not disturbing each other, heading towards their chosen directions.
Su Changkong and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man went towards the east.
"Is there something in the east?" Su Changkong asked after the others had walked away, certain that the Heavenly Corpse Old Man must have found something to take the initiative to speak up.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man nodded, "I smelled a hint of the fragrance of herbs; if I’m not mistaken, this eastern direction should lead to a Spirit Field for cultivating Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine within the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky."
This revelation lit up Su Changkong’s eyes.
A Spirit Field cultivating Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine would undoubtedly contain numerous herbs.
Rather than the uncertain gains in other directions, it made more sense to go to a place already confirmed to have yield!
They traveled more than ten li through the grey mist.
Indeed, under the cover of the mist ahead, fields appeared.
This area was clearly more rich in Spiritual Energy compared to other places, and amongst the fields grew abundant Spiritual Medicine.
"Hmm? Is that Spirit Containment Grass? These have grown 9 leaves? Unprecedented!"
Su Changkong couldn’t help but be surprised, seeing in one of the fields a medicinal herb resembling wheat but with crisp leaves.
This was just ordinary Spirit Containment Grass, used in the making of many Spirit Pills that increased Martial Arts Cultivation. The most Su Changkong had ever seen had only three or four leaves.
The more leaves it had, the higher its quality and the stronger its medicinal effect.
And in this particular Spirit Field, the worst had seven leaves, with many boasting as many as nine!
"The Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky has been sealed for two or three thousand years. These medicinal herbs have grown here for two or three thousand years, enveloped in this Spiritual Energy-rich environment. Some have withered away and turned into seeds, starting anew. The quality of these medicinal herbs is so high, you simply can’t find them on the market!"
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man exclaimed unabashedly.
"So many high-quality herbs? They’re priceless!"
Su Changkong’s eyes sparkled. As he was proficient in Alchemy, these herbs could have their greatest effects in his hands, whether for making Spirit Pills, his own consumption, or boosting the Cultivation of Spirit Taoist Sect disciples and accelerating the production of Mysterious Turtle True Essence, they all were enormously beneficial.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man chuckled, "Brother Blade, all these medicinal herbs are yours. This old man only needs what’s useful for himself. If there are gains later, I would trouble Brother Blade to lend me a hand."
In order to explore the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had shortened his lifespan to maintain his peak state. If he couldn’t make a significant discovery in this Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, he wouldn’t have long to live.
These herbs were of no use to him. The Pill Medicine to prolong life that should be taken he had already taken long ago. The Heavenly Corpse Old Man generously offered all the herbs to Su Changkong, and he only wanted what could help him make a breakthrough!
"Hmm... we’ll see when the time comes."
Su Changkong nodded slightly, but did not promise anything.
Afterward, Su Changkong didn’t hesitate, and began to collect these herbs.
