Chapter 36 A great harvest of spiritual medicines!

Chen Wei launched a full-power attack!

He tried to severely injure Zhou Chen.

Facing Zhou Chen's strength, Chen Wei knew that he was definitely not an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm Layer Three cultivator!

Boom! Boom!

The demonic flame in Chen Wei's hand surged against the wind, immediately incinerating the area in front of him into a sea of fire.

“Oh? Are you playing with fire in front of me?”

Zhou Chen remained unhurried, raising a finger, and a wisp of mysterious flame appeared on it.

This wisp of flame was glazed in color, with a mysterious golden core.

The moment the flame appeared, a terrifying pressure descended, and the temperature instantly soared.

The surrounding air began to vaporize, and even space itself seemed to twist.

It was Zhou Chen's Golden Emperor Glazed Flame.

Chen Wei's demonic flame also reached Zhou Chen at this moment.

“Die!” Chen Wei roared.

However, to Chen Wei's horror, he suddenly couldn't sense his Blood Demonic Flame anymore.

The next moment, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.

The Blood Demonic Flame, which had just been so arrogant, was now subtly bowing towards the Golden Emperor Glazed Flame in Zhou Chen's hand.

“Collect.”

Zhou Chen glanced at the submissive Blood Demonic Flame on the ground and said faintly.

The Blood Demonic Flame seemed to understand, quickly retracting all its flames and surging towards the Golden Emperor Glazed Flame.

It was actually absorbed by the Golden Emperor Glazed Flame.

Zhou Chen looked up at Chen Wei, flicked his finger, and a wisp of flame shot towards Chen Wei's body.

“Flee!” Chen Wei's scalp tingled, and his face changed drastically; he dared not linger.

He immediately cast the Demonic Sect's secret art, Heavenly Demon Disintegration, and swiftly severed his arm.

At the cost of one of his arms, his entire being transformed into a streak of blood-red light.

He sped off into the distance, so panicked that he even abandoned his Storage Ring.

“Your Excellency, leave your name! Next time, I will definitely kill you, dismember you, and refine your soul!”

“I don't change my name or surname; I am Ye Chen of the Wenxian Sect! If you have the ability, come and kill me!” Zhou Chen shouted loudly.

“Ye Chen, just you wait!” Chen Wei's face was ferocious, and he swore in his heart that he would kill Ye Chen!

Watching Chen Wei flee in a sorry state, Zhou Chen immediately checked the Storage Ring, then relaxed.

Zhou Chen chose not to pursue Chen Wei, partly because the other party was extremely fast.

Furthermore, Zhou Chen received a System notification the moment he obtained Chen Wei's Storage Ring.

Zhou Chen currently didn't possess any Cultivation Technique specializing in speed, so even if he pursued, he might not catch up.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting one drop of a Low Grade Saint Rank Yao Beast's essence blood. Ten thousand times return: one hundred drops of High Grade Saint Rank Yao Beast's essence blood! Do you wish to claim it immediately?”

“Not yet.”

People from the Blood Demon Sect could arrive at any moment, so Zhou Chen planned to claim the reward once he reached a safe place.

Meanwhile, the expression on Chen Wei's face was one of indescribable terror.

Thump!

Chen Wei, having exhausted his spiritual power and flying too fast, crashed into several trees.

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

Hearing the commotion, Chen Wei forced himself to stand, preparing to continue casting Heavenly Demon Disintegration.

He was terrified that Zhou Chen would catch up and kill him.

“I'm sorry, Young Lord! This subordinate arrived late!”

A person wearing Blood Demon Sect Disciple attire and a mask appeared before Chen Wei.

A powerful aura emanated from him; he was clearly at Foundation Establishment Layer Nine.

This person was Chen Yi, a household servant the Third Elder had found for his son, Chen Wei, responsible for protecting Chen Wei's safety.

Chen Wei was also a ruthless individual; to achieve his goal of self-training, he deliberately found an excuse to send Chen Yi away.

When Chen Wei saw the newcomer, a surge of anger filled his heart, and he immediately roared.

“You dog slave, why are you only just arriving? I was almost killed! My father told you to protect me, not to play around!”

“Young Lord, I just…” The masked man was about to explain, but in the current situation, any explanation was futile.

“Alright, shut up. Take me back and go receive your punishment. You know my father's methods.”

Chen Wei said sinisterly.

The masked man shivered but dared not say anything more.

After treating Chen Wei's injuries, he swiftly carried him towards the Blood Demon Sect.

Zhou Chen did not linger, speeding towards Longmang Mountain.

It wasn't that he didn't want to Cultivate, but time was too tight. The locations of these Opportunities were all extremely far apart.

It was as if someone was deliberately trying to trip Zhou Chen up.

Zhou Chen's anticipation for a speed-type Cultivation Technique grew even stronger; even if he traveled day and night without rest,

it would still take several days to reach Longmang Mountain.

Not to mention he had to take detours along the way, and if he encountered any powerful Yao Beasts, he still had to avoid combat.

Although Zhou Chen wasn't afraid of combat, time waited for no one; he had to obtain Ye Chen's Opportunities as quickly as possible.

“What I need to do now is intercept all the Spirit Medicine resources, then return to the Sect and intercept the Cultivation Techniques.”

Zhou Chen said nothing, continuing his journey.

Chen Wei's appearance was merely a small interlude for him.

Moreover, he seemed to have inadvertently saved Chen Wei's life, because if Ye Chen had attacked,

it would undoubtedly be his Master possessing him, with boundless magical power, leaving no chance to even cast Heavenly Demon Disintegration.

Three days passed in a flash.

At the edge of a cliff on Longmang Mountain, Zhou Chen looked down at the chasm below, shrouded in mist and filled with miasma, feeling a little apprehensive.

Falling from such a height, even a Core Formation Realm cultivator would likely perish.

He truly didn't know how Ye Chen survived; one could only say he was worthy of being a Holy Son.

Not only did he not die after falling, but he also found a large area of ownerless Spirit Medicine at the bottom of the cliff, turning misfortune into a blessing.

However, fortunately, all of it now belonged to Zhou Chen.

The reason Zhou Chen was confident enough to descend was that he had Cultivated the Undying Golden Body; the Yao Beasts on the cliff edge posed no threat to him.

Furthermore, with the blessing of the Primal Chaos Scripture, he practically never lacked Spiritual Qi.

Thinking this, Zhou Chen no longer hesitated, using the vines and rocks on the cliff face to jump down little by little.

Approximately three hours later, Zhou Chen reached the foot of the cliff.

He noticed that the surrounding Spiritual Qi was surprisingly abundant, completely different from the miasma-filled scene he had seen from the cliff top.

So Zhou Chen continued to explore forward.

Not long after, he saw a narrow, linear gorge, and dense Spiritual Qi surged out from it.

It made one feel refreshed.

“It should be just ahead,” Zhou Chen thought to himself.

Without hesitation, Zhou Chen directly passed through the gorge.

After only a few steps, the area ahead suddenly opened up.

Vast expanses of Spirit Medicine grew freely, like wildflowers and weeds covering the mountains and plains.

“Most of them are actually over a hundred years old, and there are even thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine!”

“Good heavens, there are even Spirit Medicine that have long been extinct!”

Although Zhou Chen knew beforehand that there were Spirit Medicine here, seeing it in person was still incredibly shocking.

The entire medicine garden contained at least tens of thousands of Spirit Medicine.

“Ding! Congratulations on intercepting a medicine garden, obtaining sixteen thousand eight hundred Low Grade and Medium Grade Earth Rank Spirit Medicine. One thousand times return: an equivalent number of Low Grade and Medium Grade Heaven Rank Spirit Medicine! Do you wish to claim it immediately?”

“Yes, claim it immediately into the Guiyi Secret Realm.”

Zhou Chen dug up all the Spirit Medicine, along with the spiritual soil on the ground, and moved the entire area into the Guiyi Secret Realm.

Soon, the medicine garden was cleared out, not even a single old weed was left behind.

The Spiritual Qi in this place also decreased significantly as a result.

“Time to leave.”

Zhou Chen patted the dirt off his body.

He took out a brand new Inner Sect Disciple robe from his Storage Ring and put it on, then strode away.
