Chapter 625: Taking the Opportunity, Grade 7 Tree Demon

"It… it worked!" Wei Zhongshan was overjoyed as he looked at Xiao Fan in astonishment.

He hadn't expected that Xiao Fan would actually slay a Grade 6 Early Stage Yao Beast all by himself!

One must know that when comparing Yao Beasts and the Human Race of the same rank, the Human Race certainly held no advantage!

Because Yao Beasts possessed naturally astounding defensive capabilities and sharp danger instincts, even if a human's strength suppressed the beast by a level, it was often difficult to gain the upper hand.

Yet, Xiao Fan had actually slain a Grade 6 Yao Beast while only at the second level of the Yuanhun Realm!

This battle record was too terrifying; this was what a true Prodigy was.

Wei Zhongshan walked over cautiously.

Xiao Fan let out a breath; the snake's body was still twitching, a natural instinct for its kind.

Xiao Fan walked to the upper half of the snake demon's body and slashed out with his sword, extracting the gall from its abdomen.

This was the gall of a Grade 6 snake demon, an absolute Heaven And Earth Treasure.

The gall was massive, weighing nearly three hundred catties, and it constantly emitted thick fluctuations of spiritual power that felt extremely cold.

"A great tonic." Xiao Fan was delighted; this gall was definitely a good item. He placed it inside his Storage Pouch to preserve it.

Then, he extracted the snake demon's monster core; a Grade 6 Yao Beast's monster core was bound to be very valuable.

Xiao Fan then sized up the snake demon's body, cut away some of the mangled flesh, and stored the clean meat in his Storage Pouch, planning to eat it later.

Wei Zhongshan watched Xiao Fan's practiced movements, sighing with emotion…

He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.

After finishing with the Grade 6 snake demon, Xiao Fan let out a breath.

"Let's go and see how this spiritual liquid is," Xiao Fan said to Wei Zhongshan.

"O-okay!" Wei Zhongshan nodded; in truth, he had wanted to go for a while.

The two walked to the stone wall. Looking at the ancient, naturally formed rock face, Xiao Fan sighed…

He could sense an even more majestic Spiritual Spring Liquid flowing within the wall, gradually seeping out from it.

"If I break open this stone wall, there will definitely be even more Spiritual Spring Liquid inside."

Xiao Fan stroked his chin, pondering; he also understood the principle behind this Spiritual Spring Liquid.

This stone cave was sentient, using the wall to draw from a Subterranean Spring, thereby producing this spiritual liquid.

Xiao Fan wondered if he should "kill the goose that lays the golden eggs" by smashing the wall and taking all the Spiritual Spring Liquid inside.

"Forget it. Although I won't be able to enter this Secret Realm again, I should still leave some opportunities for those who come after me." Xiao Fan decided to give up on the idea.

He wasn't from Yihuang Province, and the condition for entering this Secret Realm was being under thirty years old, which meant that, barring any accidents, he wouldn't be able to enter again in this lifetime.

After some consideration, he still chose to let it go. After all, Liu Tianyun had treated him well, and he wasn't so unscrupulous as to damage the opportunities within the Yihuang Secret Realm.

Wei Zhongshan stood behind him without moving, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the Spiritual Spring Liquid.

But he was sensible; no matter how much he yearned for it, he had to wait for Xiao Fan to distribute it!

Xiao Fan leaned over and took a sip of the Spiritual Spring Liquid. Strands of spiritual power surged into his body, instantly replenishing the energy he had just expended while simultaneously nourishing his Physical Body.

"Good stuff."

Xiao Fan was delighted; the quality of this Spiritual Spring Liquid was extremely high, definitely worthy of being called a Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Xiao Fan took a few more large gulps, feeling full of energy. The spiritual power he had consumed earlier was mostly restored.

After thinking for a moment, he took out various bottles and jars from his Storage Pouch and collected ninety percent of the Spiritual Spring Liquid.

"The rest is for you." Xiao Fan left ten percent for Wei Zhongshan.

"O-okay!" Wei Zhongshan was ecstatic. Although it was only ten percent, it was still nearly thirty catties!

Wei Zhongshan collected the remaining Spiritual Spring Liquid, and the small basin became empty.

"Let's go," Xiao Fan said.

Wei Zhongshan nodded and followed respectfully behind Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan planned to head to other parts of the Secret Realm and seize the opportunities Elder Mao Tai had told the Family disciples about.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Xiao Fan's figure came to a halt. His brows twitched as he turned to look at the towering tree within the cave, his gaze deep.

"I didn't expect that you would actually possess sentience!" Xiao Fan said in surprise, looking at the large tree.

"What?" Wei Zhongshan was shocked, clearly not expecting Xiao Fan to suddenly say such a thing.

The giant tree did not respond, remaining unremarkable as if it were an inanimate object.

The tianzhu sword appeared in his hand. With a chilling Killing Intent, Xiao Fan looked at the giant tree: "If you still don't respond, I will take action."

"Young friend, wait!"

A Divine Thought emanated from the massive ancient tree. The voice was incredibly old, sounding like an elderly man terminally ill.

"As I thought, you are sentient," Xiao Fan said. As the giant tree spoke, Xiao Fan also sensed its Realm!

A Grade 7 Demonic Beast…

But it was a heavily injured Grade 7 tree demon. Its strength was very unstable, its aura fluctuating wildly, sometimes dropping as low as Grade 5…

Just before Xiao Fan left, the tree had emitted a faint aura that he had detected.

"You're injured?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Yes, a heavy injury. I have been recuperating for countless years," the giant tree replied, its voice filled with emotion and melancholy.

"Who injured you?" Xiao Fan was curious. This giant tree was at the level of a Grade 7 Demonic Beast!

That was equivalent to the strength of the Human Race's Yuding Realm!!

Who in this Secret Realm could have injured it?

"A young powerhouse wounded me tens of thousands of years ago, and I took the chance to escape," the giant tree spoke.

"Tens of thousands of years!?" Xiao Fan was startled.
