NOVPUBOn the second day, as the sun rose, Liu Wentian had already commenced his meditation by the lakeside, facing the morning sun and cultivating.
He never slacked in his cultivation, yet sole reliance on this method would be inadequate to enter the third layer of the "Heaven and Earth Demons Gods Technique," let alone advance further to the later stages of enchantment--such progress would consume considerable time.
Normally, spending more time wouldn’t be an issue for him.
However, now that he had provoked the Jiang Family, and considering he needed to deal with Miss Wei from the Wei Family who had intended to kill Bai Ruguo, he had to become stronger.
His current strength was ultimately still lacking.
After Liu Wentian finished cultivating, Long Yuanyang also came out, her expression serene as if nothing had happened the previous night.
Under Long Yuanyang’s guidance, Liu Wentian soon arrived at the base of a steep mountain.
The mountain soared hundreds of meters into the clouds, like a sharp sword piercing through the clouds, pointing straight at the sky!
"Follow me up!" Long Yuanyang said, and then, moving like a lotus in the wind, she ran straight up along the nearly vertical mountainside.
Liu Wentian followed close behind her, sprinting towards the summit.
If an outsider saw this scene, they might think they were immortals, for this feat had already surpassed mere wall-walking and completely defied gravity!
Very quickly, the two appeared atop the summit.
The summit, which was perhaps a few hundred square meters, had a small lake, flora, and numerous venomous snakes and insects!
These creatures acted as the guardians of this place!
Liu Wentian’s eyes lit up immediately because among the flora, he discovered many treasured items!!
"Ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Spirit Herb...nice, all quite aged!!"
Liu Wentian quickly walked to a ginseng plant, his eyes sparkling. He squatted to inspect it, and then excitably declared, "This ginseng seems to be about 780 years old!!"
With his eyesight, he didn’t need to dig the ginseng out. A brief inspection gave him a clear idea of its age.
A 780-year-old ginseng, though it wasn’t quite a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, was already significantly beneficial for him.
Liu Wentian stood up and moved on to check other herbs, as excited as a tomb raider entering an imperial tomb.
"Good, this Spirit Herb is about 670 years old too!!"
"This is Dragon Bead Fruit!! Great stuff!!"
"Resurrection Grass!! Another great item!!"
"..."
"Ink Grass!! There’s actually Ink Grass here!!" Suddenly, Liu Wentian stopped in front of a few dark green "weeds," his face full of ecstasy.
"Ink Grass??" Long Yuanyang, who hadn’t spoken till now, stepped forward, looking at those "weeds" in confusion.
Many of these plants, according to Gu Po, were passed down from the Witchcraft Sect over hundreds of years, some of which she didn’t even know the names of.
For example, the dark green "weeds" that Liu Wentian was ecstatic about–she couldn’t understand what exactly they were. If not for their translucent and extraordinary-looking nature, she would have truly considered them ordinary weeds! n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
Liu Wentian didn’t answer her but instead said excitedly, "I’ll take these seven stalks of Ink Grass, and leave the rest. Just agree, and I will transcribe the ’Soul-Exiting Demon Scripture’ for you right now!!"
At that moment, Liu Wentian was incredibly excited.
Ink Grass was extremely rare even in the world of dreams and could be refined into "Qi-Nourishing Spirit"!!
"Qi-Nourishing Spirit" was like an elixir for King Martial cultivators; consuming it led to a rapid increase in King Martial True Qi within one’s body.
During the King Martial stage, using "Qi-Nourishing Spirit" for cultivation was akin to cheating!!
Liu Wentian hadn’t expected to encounter such a treasure here.
The "Ink Grass" contained Spiritual Qi, almost qualifying it as a Spirit Grass, no ordinary item!!
The seven stalks of "Ink Grass" could be refined into seven Qi-Nourishing Spirits. Without any mishaps, by relying on these seven Qi-Nourishing Spirits, he would be able to advance further to the later stages of enchantment.
He had only just reached the mid stages of King Martial a short while ago, and now it might be possible to enter the later stages immediately, which, if other Ancient Martial Artists found out, would definitely provoke a mania, compelling them to a contest of life and death with him!!
What others couldn’t eclipse in a lifetime, he was on track to surpass swiftly with the aid of Spiritual Medicine!!
The reason Sheng Tianzhan was nicknamed "Spirit Immortal" was also because some of the Spiritual Medicines he had cultivated, to others, seemed indistinguishable from Immortal Spirits!!
"Alright." Long Yuanyang nodded immediately.
To her, these seven "weeds" were utterly useless, so naturally, she wouldn’t refuse.
"However, there’s one condition: your ’Soul-Exiting Demon Scripture’ must truly be effective," Long Yuanyang added.
"Don’t worry—it will definitely work," Liu Wentian confidently replied.
The creator of the "Soul-Exiting Demon Scripture" was a female demon that even Sheng Tianzhan somewhat admired.
This demoness, who lived a hundred years before Sheng Tianzhan, also had the Soul-Exiting Poison Physique, and her achievements were nothing short of staggering.
Because of her ruthless methods, she wasn’t tolerated by the righteous sects; however, she later fell in love with a man from one of those very sects.
Eventually, when the affair became known within his sect, her lover was executed immediately!!
The demoness went berserk, and in one night, she slaughtered a thousand people from that sect, leaving mountains of corpses and seas of blood with no survivors, stunning the entire Martial world!!
This also infuriated all the righteous sects of the Martial world, who then attacked her en masse, leading to her eventual death in the Netherworld!!
Although she died, her legend persisted in the Martial world even a hundred years later!!
