Chapter 009

At a glance, it was almost enough to twist my nose in anger

A bottle of demon blood, sufficient for Wei Wushang to draw more than a dozen talismans, is exactly what she needs at the moment. She nodded and took it in her hand, then followed the crowd in a dive, landing in the midst of Xinzhi Mountain

Hmm? Cheng Guang and Cheng Qing also noticed the problem

Cheng Yan clutched her chest and took a few heavy breaths

"Not considered sentient." Wei Wushang observed for a moment, then frowned and said, "However, this Bitianluo has good potential and stands a chance of developing sentience." As he spoke, he leaned closer, tenderly caressing the leaves of the Bitianluo, drooling as he said, "With such a small thing, we certainly did not come in vain." With a stern expression, he asked the Qingluo, "Did you come out on your own, or should I pull you out?!"

Wei Wushang appeared somewhat dazed

If it were not for Wei Wushang's discerning eye, they would not have been able to recognize that this is a valuable item

Cheng Yan looked.

"If it can't be broken from above, let's dig downwards." Wei Wushang, now in dire straits, could not afford to miss such a good opportunity. Without hesitation, he exerted all his strength, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed at the tip of his fingers. He pointed towards the ground, and indeed this time, he effortlessly broke through the surface, after which several small silver particles rolled out.

"Is this the birth of intelligence?" Seeing that the green vine seemed to understand Wei Wushang's words, Cheng Yan revealed a look of astonishment

A few individuals originally set out together to seek treasure, and there was no reason for anyone to suffer losses. Moreover, this arrangement was clearer, which reduced many disputes. Wei Wushang naturally understood the intricacies involved, so he unceremoniously took the spirit stone and then asked Cheng Yan, "Geng Yin, do you still want it?"

Gengyin is a high-grade spiritual ore, which is extremely precious for sword cultivators. If five grains of Gengyin, each the size of a bean, are infused into a flying sword, it will generate the power of sharp metal, capable of breaking through the defenses of high-level cultivators during combat. For sword cultivators who can already contend against opponents of higher levels, it is a coveted treasure

Xiu Tong and the others' eyes suddenly brightened

What is ... ... Gengyin?" Cheng Yan's expression suddenly changed.

"Sisters are just like that, saying one thing but meaning another," Cheng Guangyin said gloomily

Wei Wushang had just exerted all his spiritual energy to strike the tree. It is said that even a cultivator below the Foundation Establishment stage would likely meet their demise if struck by such force, let alone a large tree. Yet, this giant tree only shed a few leaves? That seems rather unscientific

Upon entering this place, Wei Wushang immediately felt an extremely rich aura of spiritual energy, causing her pores to open up and her dantian to operate automatically, unconsciously absorbing this spiritual energy. Feeling completely at ease, she swiftly expanded her consciousness until she sensed no unusual movements around her. Only then did she cautiously approach the base of a towering tree, gazing thoughtfully at a vine above that was as translucent and emerald green as jade.

Deep within Xinzhishan, it is said that there are fourth-tier peak demon beasts, which can be compared to the perfected Foundation Establishment stage among cultivators. They are exceptionally formidable; not to mention a few Qi Refinement practitioners, even Cheng Yan's master, who is at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, would likely be of no use against them

Therefore, it is said that an uneducated monk is the most terrifying! Wei Wushang disdainfully glanced at the three individuals, but he was too lazy to engage in idle chatter. He clenched his fists, transforming them into a faint spiritual light, and struck fiercely at the very ordinary giant tree before him. A tremendous roar erupted, and Cheng Yan inwardly exclaimed that it was bad, retreating backward in an attempt to avoid the giant tree that was about to be shattered by Wei Wushang's punch.

Moreover, we are not refusing to pay with spirit stones." Cheng Guang cast a disdainful glance at his sister, then tossed a storage ring towards Wei Wushang's hand, muttering, "I am not taking advantage of you.

Continuing?" Xiutong raised an eyebrow and asked Wei Wushang.

"What is this before my eyes?" Cheng Yan said as she touched the giant tree.

Thank you! The talismans are also quite rare in the small void realm. Cheng Yan has become quite familiar with Wei Wushang and is no longer polite. She only left a movement talisman, while the rest of the talismans were tucked away in her bosom. She then took out a vial of demon blood and cheerfully said, "Exchange!"

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he raised his sword, fiercely slashing towards a nearby bush!

Seeing Wei Wushang full of enthusiasm, his eyes shining brightly, Xiu Tong eagerly polishing his long sword, not to mention his two younger brothers who had already rushed down to Xinzhishan, Cheng Yan silently cursed this sorrowful world while covering her head. When she looked up, she gently said, "We must be cautious."

"Walk a little further inside," Cheng Guang suggested in a somewhat ominous tone from the side

"Rest assured," Wei Wushang said with a smile, as he wrapped his arm around Cheng Yan's slender waist and spoke gently, "With the few of us here, we can still navigate these Xinzhishan mountains." None of them were ordinary disciples in the Qi Refinement stage; who among them did not possess one or two protective talismans bestowed by their elders? Well, Wei Wushang came from a poor background and had none, but he was fortunate to have talismans. With a talisman in hand, it meant that the world was at his command.

She is sincere, not just being polite. Your repeated refusals are quite awkward. "Xiu Tong said nonchalantly, "The friendship of giving treasures will be remembered in my heart. When our Spirit Sword reaches great success in the future, we will surely repay the favor of Wushang's spiritual power.

At that moment, Xiu Tong was openly stuffing the silver ingots into his bosom along with his two younger brothers

This is essential. Wei Wushang smiled, and then seemingly casually asked, "After that, how will the distribution be arranged?"

Wei Wushang pointed at the Gengyin, and immediately saw several beams of silver light fall into his hand. Although there were only a few dozen grains, they were extremely heavy. After counting them, he flicked them towards Cheng Yan and the others, saying, "This is for you."

"Not useful, but there are good things inside here." Wei Wushang licked his lips and slowly spoke while looking at the towering giant tree in front of him.

However, considering that such demon beasts generally cultivate in seclusion and never roam about outside, Cheng Yan advised, "We should only seek some spiritual herbs on the outskirts." Seeing Xiu Tong hastily polishing his sword, she felt a headache and said, "Senior Brother, do not forget what our objective is." The Heart Refining Illusion Array is the most renowned trial ground of the Bianyang Sect, but only the more formidable disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall can venture inside; ordinary disciples have long been blocked outside the Xinzhishan. After much effort to unite with several experts to enter this place, Cheng Yan was unwilling to miss a good opportunity over a trivial matter.

Xiu Tong particularly favored such straightforward cultivators. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said, "You know many things; among us, you shall receive thirty percent, and the remaining four of us will share the rest, how about that?" Seeing that Wei Wushang showed no dissatisfaction, he then glanced to the side, raised his eyebrows, and meaningfully remarked, "However, if another person were to join, it would be rather difficult to divide, wouldn't it?"

This statement is indeed not incorrect

Thank you for your patronage. Wei Wushang smiled broadly.

Upon catching sight of the green vine, she immediately recognized its origin. This feeling was quite strange, but recalling that her own cultivation method was similar, she decided to set that thought aside for the moment. She tilted her chin slightly towards Cheng Yan, signaling her to look behind.

Not right! On Shu Tong's arrogant face, there was suddenly a moment of stillness

The soft sword energy pierced through the air

"Truly boring." As a violent cultivator who only enjoys fighting, the three individuals led by Xiu Tong expressed their utter boredom

With a flick of his hand, several talismans appeared in his grasp. Wei Wushang tossed a few to the crowd and then asked, "You know how to use them, right?"

The green vine trembled for a while, then suddenly twisted, its roots pulling out from the soil. After that, it fell onto Wei Wushang's shoulder, lying askew, and nudged his face with its leaves, appearing to seek favor.

Seeing such an interesting thing, a few guys who were gazing into the distance also gathered around.

I feel that my honest self can no longer keep up with the pace of the eccentric ones. Cheng Yan fell silent for a moment, suppressing her frustration as she took out a storage ring from her bosom and threw it to Wei Wushang

Is it because of the Bitianluo? The cultivators of the Law Enforcement Hall, including Cheng Yan, have little interest in anything other than necessary cultivation, and naturally, they are unaware of the role of a spiritual plant in the myriad worlds. However, Miss Cheng, who is quite inquisitive, curiously asked, "What exactly is the use of this Bitianluo?"

The Blue Sky Vine itself is of little use, however, Wei Wushang touched the roots of the green vine on his shoulder and said lightly, "It is very sensitive to spiritual entities. As long as there are spiritual entities within a radius of one hundred miles, this fellow will pull out its roots and move to grow near those spiritual entities"

Despite her helplessness, Cheng Yan no longer dared to leave these unruly fellow disciples here while she went off to cultivate her heart.

What are you doing! Cheng Yan scolded, "Don't take advantage of me like this!"

What is this? Cheng Yan, having never seen such a spiritual plant, asked curiously

At the moment when all the cultivators retreated, they saw Wei Wushang's face remain unmoved as he struck heavily once more upon the giant tree, causing leaves to fall in abundance and the giant tree to tremble incessantly

What kind of rhythm is this ... ... ?" Cheng Yan's lips twitched as she pointed at the seemingly pet-like Qing Luo.

"Did you not eat breakfast this morning?" With doubts in his heart, Cheng Qing spoke sharply, then produced a small golden hoop from his hand. With a flick, it emitted a brilliant golden light and flew towards the giant tree. Suddenly, a ray of spiritual light appeared before everyone, and the golden hoop let out a mournful cry, flying back towards Cheng Qing's hand.

"We are quite lucky," Wei Wushang said, his eyes shining as he looked at her, who seemed to sense her ill intentions. The green vine, secretly moving the rattan and shrinking back, stroked its chin and said, "Indeed, fortune comes from danger; one cannot find such treasures without venturing into these deep mountains and forests." Hearing the greed in her tone, the green vine even shook as if it had human emotions.

Although it was discovered at the same time, Cheng Yan truly felt she had no right to claim a share of this Geng Yin. At that moment, seeing Wei Wushang actually give her five grains, she declined, saying, "We cannot accept your harvest." Although it was useful, her principles as a person remained intact. Cheng Yan gritted her teeth, suppressing her reluctance, and returned it to Wei Wushang, stating, "What is due is due; there is no reason for equal division of what has been obtained."
