Divine Land Chapter 125: Steel Armor Demon Cow (Part 1)

  Xuantian and Fengbuzhi, the three of them, were not alchemists, they only knew whether the spiritual grass was mature or not, then they could roughly estimate the year, but it could only be estimated that it had not been long since its maturity, only about three to four years.

  If the Ling Grass is matured for too long, it would be difficult to distinguish unless one is a professional Dan Medicine Master.

  Judging from the medicinal aroma emitted by this 'Dragon's Fat Grass', it is much more intense than that of a mature Ling Grass that has been aged for several years, possibly seventeen or eighteen years old, and may even exceed twenty years.

  For over twenty years, the Xuan-grade spirit grass is a mid-grade Xuan-grade spirit grass that can be refined into a mid-grade Xuan-grade elixir. Its value is several times higher than that of a low-grade Xuan-grade spirit grass.

  "Longzhi grass" is the main material for refining the wound-healing spiritual medicine "Longzhi Duanxu Dan". The value of each plant is at least over one million taels, making it a truly precious and rare spiritual herb.

  If this 'Dragon's Fat Grass' is over twenty years old, its value will double.

  The last time Xuantian used the "Top-grade Essence Condensing Pill" to exchange for the "Dragon Fat Discontinuity Pill", it was a low-grade pill of the Mysterious rank, refined from the low-grade "Dragon Fat Grass" of the Mysterious rank. If it were refined from the mid-grade "Dragon Fat Grass" of the Mysterious rank, then the resulting "Dragon Fat Discontinuity Pill" would be a mid-grade pill of the Mysterious rank, with an even more enormous effect, capable of allowing Xuantian's severed meridians to recover better, at least recovering to the level of a pre-heavenly realm middle-stage warrior.

  Of course, refining a medium-grade Xuan-class pill requires a medium-grade Xuan-class pill master. In the entire Tiān Jiàn Sect, there are only three Xuan-class pill masters, two of whom are lower-grade Xuan-class. There is only one medium-grade Xuan-class pill master, who is the head elder of the Inner Gate Pill Hall.

  Xuān Tiān carefully picked up the 'Dragon Fat Grass' and put it into the spatial ring. After returning to the sect, he could ask the elder of the Dan Medicine Hall to appraise its age. If it was indeed a twenty-year-old or older Xuan-class middle-grade spirit grass, then... He could request the elder of the Dan Medicine Hall to refine a Xuan-class middle-grade 'Dragon Fat Discontinuation Pill'. To allow his father Xuān Hóng's meridians to recover even better.

  He put away 'Longzhicao', Xuantian picked up 'Zhenwugrass' and continued forward.

  After picking two more 'True Fog Grass', Xuan Tian reunited with Feng Bu Zhi and the others. The water surface in front was indeed a pond, and it wasn't big. Xuan Tian had picked a total of sixteen 'True Fog Grass' and one 'Dragon Fat Grass'.

  Feng Bu Zhi and the other two people obtained a total of 22 'True Fog Grass', but unfortunately did not encounter any other precious spiritual herbs. After dividing them, Feng Bu Zhi got 8 stalks, while Sun Yi Qiu and Gu Qian Rou each got 7 stalks.

  Only one location, Feng Bu Zhi and three others have harvested seven or eight hundred thousand merit points. Everyone is overjoyed and extremely excited.

  Feng Buzhi exclaimed, "Generally, the land with sufficient heavenly and earthly energy can only grow a few stalks of 'True Mist Grass'. Even in the best spiritual lands, it's rare to see more than ten stalks. Yet, here, without anyone planting them, nearly forty stalks have grown. This is truly a rare sight."

  "What a pity that such a good place is wasted. If the sect were closer, we could plant spiritual grass in this valley and develop it into a huge medicinal garden."

  Xuantian looked down at the valley below and said, "If my guess is correct, there should be a vein of energy passing through this valley. The water pool in front of us has a leakage of earth energy, which is why this valley has become a place where the heaven and earth energies converge. However, the spiritual grass here has already been harvested, let's go look somewhere else. 'Xuanyang Flower' grows on mountain ridges with good sunlight. Since the heaven and earth energies are abundant here, let's go take a look at the nearby mountain peaks."

  ……

  Four people climbed up the nearby mountain peak, killing two third-level demonic beasts and indeed found some "Mystic Sunflowers". However, there were not as many as the "True Mist Grass" in that valley with mist-like yuanqi.

  On that day, the four of them found a forest with towering trees. At dusk, they returned to the forest and dug out tree holes on the tall trunks to spend the night.

  The next day, the four of them went out and shuttled through the peaks and canyons of the Yin Wind Mountains, searching for Xuan-level spiritual grass. They encountered a third-level demon beast and killed it with ease, taking its demon core.

  The demon core of a third-level demon beast can be used as a material for Xuan-grade elixirs, and it can also be used as a material for Xuan-grade artifacts. Its value is not low either. The lower-grade demon cores are worth four or five taels of silver, the mid-grade demon cores are worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver, and the high-grade demon cores are worth over ten thousand taels of silver. If it's the demon core of a third-level demon beast king, it's even more precious, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

  Killing monsters during the day, searching for Xuan-level spiritual herbs, returning to the tree cave at night, and reaping a rich harvest.

  Xuantian and Fengbuzhi, the three of them, were in a region over two thousand miles deep into the Yinfeng Mountains from Yinfeng Town, searching for Xuan-grade spiritual grass. The four disciples of Lingyun Sect, however, were extremely depressed.

  Although Ling Luo understood the beast-controlling technique, it took him more than four days to find the trail of Xuan Tian and his companions while controlling Qing Que.

  On a certain mountain peak in the Yin Wind Mountains, a blue sparrow descended from the sky and landed on Ling Luo's hand, chirping for a while before flapping its wings and flying away.

  Ling Luo's face showed a hint of surprise, and he said: "They actually went to the deepest part of the Yin Wind Mountain Range, where third-level upper-tier demon beasts are active. That place is even frequented by third-level demon beast overlords."

  Yan Guanxi heard this, but his face lit up with joy, saying: "Ling Shixiong, that place is indeed a rare destination for warriors, it's an extremely dangerous area. Heh heh, even if a warrior of the Fourth Heaven Realm dies there, it would be considered normal."

  As they spoke, a hint of sternness flashed in Yan Guanxi's eyes.

  Ling Luo's mouth curled up, saying: "In the Yin Wind Mountains, I am a born king. Hehe, my mount Yuè has advanced another level recently. Let's go to the depths of the Yin Wind Mountains and meet them."

  Yan Guanxi's eyes flashed with a hint of horror, and he exclaimed: "Ling Shixiong, you were able to control third-level upper-tier demonic beasts before, but now that you've traversed the four realms of Xiantian, your Beast Controlling Technique has advanced another level, doesn't that mean...?"

  The other two disciples of the Lingyun Sect looked at Ling Luo with a face full of admiration and said, "Ling Shixiong obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Imperial Beast Gate, it's really a blessing from heaven, haha, that so-called number one genius of the Tianjian Sect, Chu Feng, is far inferior compared to Ling Shixiong."

  "What's with Chu Feng? Hmph... " Ling Luo Feng sneered, saying: "The path of martial arts is one where innate talent is important, but luck and opportunity are even more crucial. Even if the Tian Jian Sect produces a multitude of geniuses, they can't stop the rise of my Ling Yun Sect. Chu Feng will eventually be trampled underfoot by me. For now, let's deal with this little genius who recently emerged from the Tian Jian Sect."

  On the sixth day, the four of them left the tree cave as usual and went out to search for Xuan-level spiritual grass.

  For five days, Xuan Tian has harvested 27 stalks of 'True Fog Grass', 15 stalks of 'Mystic Sun Flower', one stalk of 'Dragon Fat Grass' and several other high-grade spiritual herbs, equivalent to over 400,000 merit points.

  Of course, this is because the four people's harvest was due to Xuan Tian alone taking the majority of the spoils. The three of them, Feng Bu Zhishan, averaged out to over 100,000 contribution points each. However, this was also more than ten times faster than if they had searched for the Xuan-ranked spirit grass on their own.

  In the vicinity, in many places, these past few days, Xuan Tian and his four companions have all gone to. The several people were cautious and careful. The Tier 3 demonic beast overlord had been seen from afar once, but they had quickly avoided it and hadn't met head-on.

  On this day, the four of them arrived at a vast canyon. The sky was shining brightly with sunlight, but the valley was shrouded in mist that refused to disperse, making it a place where the primordial energy of heaven and earth converged. As expected, there should be 'True Mist Grass' growing here.

  "In the canyon, visibility is poor and it's quiet, I don't know what kind of demonic beast is inside, you all be careful, if there's a third-level demonic beast king inside, I'll hold it off, you all escape directly." As soon as they entered the canyon, Xuan Tian reminded them.

  Three people were stunned, and Feng Bu Zhi said: "Huang Shixiong, isn't this putting you in a dangerous situation?"

  Xuantian waved his hand and said, "As long as you leave, I can take care of myself, and I can withdraw at any time."

  "Alright." Seeing Xuan Tian's firm tone, which did not allow for any refutation, the three of them nodded in unison.

  This canyon is extremely large, the four of them walked forward in the fog for over a thousand meters without encountering any ferocious beasts, but they still haven't covered even one-fifth of the distance through the canyon.

  "There's a patch of 'True Fog Grass' over there." Gu Qianrou excitedly pointed to the side.

  Xuantian and the others looked over, and indeed it was a stalk of "True Mist Grass". Sun Yiqiu burst out laughing and said: "It seems that this valley really does have Xuan-grade spiritual grass, haha."

  Xuān Tiān took a look around the 'True Fog Grass', making sure there were no hidden beasts, before walking over and brushing it aside, saying: "Let's keep moving!"

  Feng Bu Zhi and three others followed behind Xuan Tian, continuing on towards the depths of the gorge.

  He had just taken less than ten steps when a melodious flute sound suddenly rang out.

  Yes!

  In the depths of the Yin Wind Mountains, a sudden flute sound was heard, which was quite strange. The four people of Xuantian stopped in their tracks at once.

  The sound of the flute is not pleasant to listen to, but it's very smooth and flowing. When you hear it, it's like a dream or an illusion, making people feel a bit dizzy.

  Feng Bu Zhi and three others showed a hint of confusion in their eyes, but only Xuan Tian had an exceptionally strong spirit and was not affected by the flute sound at all.

  Although the flute sound was like a dream, it had little impact on the martial artists. Feng Buji and the other two stabilized their minds, and that thread of confusion disappeared instantly.

  Feng Buzhi exclaimed in surprise: "This is, Ling Luofeng's flute sound of his beast-controlling flute, I've heard it once before, he used the flute sound to control a third-level upper-stage demon beast and defeated a pre-heavenly realm fourth-realm martial artist."

  "Lingyun Sect's first disciple - Ling Luofeng?" In Xuántiān's mind, the image of Ling Luofeng appeared instantly, along with the long flute at his waist.

  A bad premonition flashed in Xuántiān's mind, "Be careful, Líng Luòfēng might be coming for us."

  Sun Yiqiu exclaimed: "How did Ling Luofeng know we were here?"

  Dong——dong——dong——

  A low, muffled sound came from outside the canyon that Xuan Tian and the others had just passed through, accompanied by a faint tremor in the ground.

  "There's a demon beast coming." Gu Qianrou's face changed color.

  The earth's tremors grew stronger and stronger.

  In the canyon, the fog was thicker and visibility was only over a hundred meters. Suddenly, a gigantic demon cow with a height of over five meters and a length of over eight meters appeared in front of the four people from Xuantian Sect, charging towards them.

  "Steel Armor Demon Cow, Third-Level Demon Beast Overlord...!" The four of them all changed their expressions at once, letting out a cry of surprise.
