Many cultivators retreated continuously and in the blink of an eye, they had already distanced themselves from Su Zimo.
Everyone watched from afar, not daring to advance.
Even so, no one left.
The entrance to the underground palace that had been buried for 10,000 years had appeared and everyone wanted to check it out.
Sneering internally, Su Zimo put away his Moon Concealment Bow and entered the underground palace in a flash.
Sprinting, Su Zimo arrived at the medicinal field before long.
"Zimo, are you alright?"
When they saw Su Zimo return, Xuan Yi and the other two hurried forward.
Just Now, they were severely injured and did not have the chance to fight at all in that huge battle.
Now that they had rested for a while and consumed a few elixirs, the three of them recovered some of their stamina and their injuries were stabilized for the time being.
When Su Zimo saw that the three of them were still in good condition, he said in a deep voice, "We can't stay here for long. Harvest the spirit herbs in this medicinal field and leave the Great Qian Ruins as soon as possible!"
Wang Yan had already escaped.
There were still many cultivators outside and the number of cultivators gathered here was increasing.
There was no way this underground palace could be hidden!
There was still a month before the 10,000 Year Vermilion Fruit ripened.
Within this month, the North Region would definitely be in turmoil and the Great Qian Ruins would definitely attract many Perfected Jin Dan – the situation would turn even more chaotic and complicated!
Any carelessness would cause one to die within.
Even Su Zimo could not guarantee that he would be able to escape unscathed, let alone the three of them.
The three of them understood.
The four of them split up to harvest the spirit herbs in the medicinal field and store them in their storage bags.
During this period of time, Su Zimo ate a Blood Ginseng and a Scarlet Flame Fruit directly, leaving the three of them dumbfounded.
One had to know that many spiritual herbs could not be consumed directly.
The medicinal effects were too intense and boundless and required other herbs to neutralize them. This was the first time the three of them had seen someone consume the Blood Ginseng and Scarlet Flame Fruit raw as Su Zimo did.
"Zimo, y-you're going to be fine if you eat raw like that?"
Xuan Yi could not help but ask.
"Ugh …"
Su Zimo burped and spat out a hot breath that reeked of blood.
"It's fine. It tastes pretty good."
Su Zimo smacked his lips, looking relaxed.
An ordinary Jin Dan Daoist Master would not be able to withstand the Blood Ginseng and Scarlet Flame Fruit.
However, Su Zimo was both an immortal and demonic cultivator. Furthermore, he had formed a core for both of them. His blood qi and physique were shockingly strong and he could absorb all the energy within the two spirit herbs!
Now that he was seriously injured, his spiritual power was depleted, and his flesh aura was weak. This was the most direct way for him to devour the spirit plants.
After swallowing the Blood Ginseng and the Scarlet Flame Fruit, Su Zimo's bloodline rumbled as it continuously digested and absorbed the energy within the two spirit materials.
Coupled with his powerful self-healing ability, his physical condition was getting better and better!
When Su Zimo saw that this method was effective, he started to harvest while swallowing the Spiritual Grasses.
He didn't care what it tasted like or how hard it was. He stuffed everything into his mouth, including the skin and shell. Crunch, crunch, crunch. He chewed them into pieces and swallowed them.
Li Ziyue was sweating profusely.
An illusion appeared in his mind.
It was as though Su Zimo was not a human, but an ancient demon that was extremely hungry, devouring everything like a Taotie!
Su Zimo did not restrain himself when he sensed the strange gazes of the three of them.
That was the only way for him to recover as quickly as possible with strong enemies outside!
Before long, Su Zimo's group of four harvested most of the spirit materials in the herb garden, leaving only the spirit herbs near the Vermilion Fruit.
Prior to this, Su Zimo had warned the three of them not to approach the Vermilion Fruit.
At that moment, Li Ziyue could not bear to leave the spirit herbs here and could not help but head forward to harvest them. However, he was held back by Su Zimo.
"Don't go!"
Su Zimo's expression was grim as he frowned slightly and whispered, "The Vermilion Fruit has already started!"
Not only was an unripe Vermilion Fruit not a great tonic, it was also extremely poisonous.
When it was about to ripen, the Vermilion Fruit would absorb the life essence of all living beings in the vicinity, be it humans or demons!
A scorching aura spread gradually.
The first to suffer were the many spirit herbs near the Vermilion Fruit.
Shrouded by the aura, the spirit herbs withered at a visible speed.
In less than ten breaths, many spirit herbs turned into ashes!
When he saw that, Li Ziyue gulped with a sense of trepidation.
Just Now, if not for Su Zimo holding him back, he would have been doomed if he had charged forward and was engulfed by the scorching aura!
"Let's leave this place first,"
After swallowing many spirit herbs, Su Zimo was clearly in a much better state. His face was rosy and he was in high spirits.
After leaving the underground palace, Su Zimo ignored the other cultivators and led the four of them out of the ruins.
The three of them were still injured and had yet to recover – it was unsuitable for them to fight.
Su Zimo did not barge into the palace forcefully. Instead, he made use of his powerful vision, hearing and spirit perception to avoid the patrols of the otherworldly soldiers and led the three of them out of the palace stealthily.
Outside the palace, many malevolent ghosts sensed the blood qi of the three of them and rushed over.
A sinister wind howled and ghostly figures appeared one after another.
However, the malevolent ghosts were soon scared out of their wits when they caught sight of the green-robed cultivator at the front, never to appear again.
Su Zimo only stopped after sending the three of them out of the Great Qian Ruins.
At that moment, dawn was breaking over the horizon.
The colorful and blurry light shone on the ruins, making it look desolate and mysterious.
Su Zimo turned back and surveyed the ruins for a moment before nodding. "There's no one following us anymore. Peak Master Xuan Yi, the three of you can leave now and return to the sect. Don't linger!"
Along the way, Su Zimo made use of the Moon Concealment Bow to kill many cultivators that were following them.
Gradually, many cultivators realized that they could not hide their tracks from Su Zimo's senses and chose to give up wisely.
"Zimo, you're not returning with us?"
Xuan Yi frowned worriedly.
He had lived for hundreds of years and could naturally imagine that there would be a bloodbath in the Great Qian Ruins a month later when the 10,000 Year Vermilion Fruit ripens!
If news of the 10,000 Year Vermilion Fruit were to spread, all the paragons of the Jin Dan realm of the North Region would gather here!
In fact, there might even be people from the immortal and fiend sects rushing over!
At that time, there would definitely not be any one-on-one fights.
Although Su Zimo was strong in combat, he had only just formed his core – how could he fight against so many peerless paragons and powerful factions?
"Zimo, we've reaped great rewards from this trip. It's time to stop."
Liu Hui said earnestly, "In the cultivation world, most cultivators are killed because of their greed."
"You're at Extreme Foundation Establishment and have cultivated such a strong Jin Dan phenomenon. You still have a long path ahead of you and there's no need for you to fight to the death with them for a single Vermilion Fruit."
Those words were from the bottom of her heart and were also the most logical and reliable solution.
Xuan Yi added, "There are many factions that are stronger than our sect in the North Region. Furthermore, this place is too far from the sect. Even if you encounter danger, the sect won't be able to save you in time. Zimo, be careful! "
Su Zimo smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, peak masters. If things don't turn out well, I won't want the Vermilion Fruit anymore."
