Before the beast leader died, its body was shrouded in smoke, which then exploded. Pieces of flesh pierced through the ground, shooting out dozens of miles away. Soon, those pieces of flesh continued to spit out a thick white fog. As the fog was spat out, the size of the pieces of flesh became smaller and smaller, until they disappeared completely.
"This fog is not simple. It can even slowly seep into the rocks." Ye Chen pushed his soul power, and immediately realized the strangeness of the fog.
Rumble!
Just as Ye Chen finished his sentence, all of the beasts underground moved out together, rushing towards Ye Chen crazily. That kind of sound was like the earth was shaking.
Grand elder Chen and Liu Mei were shocked. How could it be? Although the battle between Ye Chen and the beast leader was quite loud, it would only attract the nearby beasts. How could it be possible for all of them to move out together, as if they knew where they were?
"Could it be because of this fog?"
Liu Mei was shocked.
"No time to waste. Let's leave this place first."
The Green Lotus Zhen Yuan cut through the mud and rocks, and Ye Chen led the two to break through towards the south.
There were relatively fewer beasts in the south, but there were still more than fifty of them. These beasts were in groups of five, keeping a few hundred meters distance from each other.
"Kill!"
After reaching the Late Astral Reaching Realm, Ye Chen's battling power had increased drastically. Every casual sword attack of his had an unstoppable power. Besides the beast leader, basically no one else could take one attack from him.
Liu Mei was helping him on the side, performing her Wind Whip Art. The whip shadow was like a snake, binding up the beasts one after another, making it impossible for them to gather together. Although grand elder Chen was not as powerful as Ye Chen in terms of attacking power, it was still quite effective for him to take care of some of the beasts that managed to escape. Just like that, the three of them had a clear division of labor, fighting their way out.
"Should we go up there?"
After escaping from the beasts' encirclement, grand elder Chen sent a zhen yuan message to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen shook his head, "No need to rush. Right now, it seems like no one will notice us. But, the situation up there might not be that good. Let's kill a certain amount of beasts first before going up."
"Hunt foggy beasts?" Liu Mei was surprised.
"Underground, the range of the mental power is limited. It will be hard for the Dense Fog Beasts to surround us, and we can change our location after every shot."
Hearing this, Liu Mei and grand elder Chen were suddenly enlightened. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They were still thinking about how to escape, but Ye Chen had already figured out the fundamental solution. It seemed that different levels of power determined different ways of looking at problems.
In order to hunt fog beasts, one must have a certain amount of capital. Ye Chen's capital was his soul power. The range of his soul power was around ten times that of the fog beasts. This was his weapon that allowed him to take the initiative.
"Huh? There are actually three groups of beasts gathered together in this area."
A smile flashed on Ye Chen's face. He waved his Green-Wood Sword in the air, and a huge Green Lotus bloomed.
Chi chi chi chi chi …
The next moment!
Dense green Sword Qi burst out from Ye Chen's body, like a hedgehog spitting out its spikes, giving the enemy in front of it a fatal attack.
Without any ability to fight back, the three groups of Dense Fog Beasts were drowned in the torrent of Sword Qi, riddled with holes.
"Let's go!"
After killing the enemy with one attack, Ye Chen changed his location immediately.
…
Using the same method, within three days, Ye Chen had killed more than four hundred beasts, including three of their leaders.
"Now we can go up!"
Putting his Green-Wood Sword back into its scabbard, Ye Chen lightly stepped on the ground and his body shot up.
Crack!
The ground cracked open, and the three appeared in midair.
"Grand elder Ye, how about we go check out the stone forest? We do not know how to get out yet anyway." Grand elder Chen suggested.
Ye Chen nodded. There might be a huge amount of beasts in the stone forest, but compared to before, Ye Chen's battling power had improved a lot. He could be considered as invincible among the Astral Reaching Realm. He could fight one on one, or even ten at the same time, and he would not be afraid. Even if it did not work out, he would be able to escape from the underground. Therefore, it would not be a big deal for him to explore the stone forest.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
The three performed their flying art, flying towards the stone forest.
As for how big the stone forest was, Ye Chen did not know. Every rock inside was like a mountain, shining with a gray light.
The three entered the stone forest area quietly.
"Do not release your mental power." Ye Chen said with a zhen yuan transmission.
Liu Mei nodded, "Indeed. Scanning with mental power will attract the attention of the beasts."
The three of them did not discover any traces of the Dense Fog Beasts, and they could not help but relax.
They were not afraid of one or two beasts, but they were afraid of hundreds of beasts. Not to mention Astral Reaching Realm paragons, even three or four Astral Reaching Realm paragons would not be able to handle hundreds of attacks. They would be turned into ashes within a second.
After about one hour, the three arrived at the deep end of the stone forest.
"Eh? It is a spirit plant!"
Grand elder Chen's eyes focused. In a corner that was not easy to notice, he found a spirit plant with waxy white leaves and blue flowers. This spirit plant was about the size of a palm. The tiny tubes on its stem were clearly visible, just like the meridians of a human body.
"Tendon Refining Flower! There is a tendon refining flower here! In the auction, one of them could be sold for at least five thousand mid rank soul stones. If it could be made into a tendon refining pellet with other precious materials, even thirty thousand mid rank soul stones would not be too much. It would be priceless."
Liu Mei screamed out loud.
Ye Chen was shocked. He did not know much about the tendon refining flower, but he had heard about the tendon refining pellet. The meridians of the human body were very important, but also relatively fragile. If the meridians were blocked, the battling power would not be able to be used to its peak. If the meridians were broken, it would be a catastrophic injury for a warrior, which would be hard to heal. However, a tendon refining pellet could not only heal the broken meridians in a short period of time, but it could also strengthen the meridians, increasing their toughness to a horrifying level.
"Haha, I will not hold back then." Grand elder Chen was the first one to find the tendon refining flower. He waved his hand, and the flower flew out of the ground, landing on his hand.
Ye Chen said lightly, "There will be a lot of treasures and spirit plants. We need to make a rule. The rule is that whoever finds the treasure first will get to keep it. What do you guys think?"
"Hehe, I have no problem with that." Liu Mei agreed.
Grand elder Chen obviously had no problem with that. Judging on power, Ye Chen was the strongest. This rule was obviously beneficial to him and Liu Mei. Otherwise, if Ye Chen decided to rob them, they would have to run away.
Remembering the appearance of the tendon refining flower, Ye Chen quietly released his soul power, spreading it out in all directions.
Soul power was higher than soul power, so it was hard to detect. Underground, Ye Chen had used his soul power to take the initiative and kill a large number of beasts.
Not long after.
Ye Chen found two tendon refining flowers, so he flew towards them.
"Wow, grand elder Ye is so lucky."
Grand elder Chen only thought that Ye Chen had good eyesight, but he did not expect him to find them with his soul power.
Regarding this, Ye Chen did not say anything.
…
Tendon Refining Flower, three four-leaf plants, Seven Star Blue …
There were a lot of spirit plants in the stone forest. In just half a day, the three of them had gotten three to four of them each. The lowest value among them was at least one thousand mid-rank soul stones, while the most valuable one would be the Seven Star Blue, which was the main material for the Earth Astral Pellet.
The Earth Astral Pellet could increase the total zhen yuan of Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors, and it was also useful for Mid and Late Astral Reaching Realm warriors. If there were enough of it, it would not take too long to reach the peak level from Late Astral Reaching Realm.
One Seven Star Blue could be used to make dozens of Earth Astral Pellets.
Without soul power, grand elder Chen and Liu Mei did not even get thirty percent of what Ye Chen had gotten, and that was after Ye Chen had been holding back a little, leaving some leftovers for them.
"Yeah! What kind of spirit plant is this? There is a pure soul qi on it. "
Ye Chen's pupils shrank. The soul was the foundation of a human being. Physical wounds could be healed, but if the soul was wounded, it would be devastating. Therefore, the spirit plant with the soul qi would be the top spirit plant without a doubt.
Shoo!
His body turned into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing within a blink of an eye.
Liu Mei was surprised, "Did he find something?" There were no traces of beasts in the stone forest. The three had already started to use their mental power to scan the area a couple of hours ago. Right then, seeing that Ye Chen had flown out without saying a word, they thought that he had found some kind of treasure.
"Let's go as well."
Grand elder Chen said.
In the deep part of the stone forest, there was a ten meters tall and ten meters wide flat rock. On top of the rock, there were two one-foot-tall crystal clear spirit plants growing. The stems of the spirit plants were twisted, and with a closer look, one could see that they were bent nine times in total. There were six leaves on the top of the stem, which had a hint of black in it. Under the cover of the leaves, there was an object that looked like a fruit, but not a fruit, or a flower. It was made up of rice grain-sized grains, surrounded by a light colored qi.
"This is the Nine Turn Spirit Plant! Oh my god! It really exists! "If it were not for the fact that Ye Chen was standing right next to the plant, grand elder Chen would have rushed up and tried to take it for himself.
"Nine Turn Spirit Plant? Can you explain? "
Ye Chen turned his head and looked at the two.
Grand elder Chen said, "The Nine Turn Spirit Plant is extremely rare in the world. Eating it directly can increase one's lifespan by nine years, and it can also strengthen the human body's soul. Not only increasing one's lifespan, but strengthening one's soul is something that even Sea of Souls Realm warriors dream about. You have to know that the more powerful the soul is, the more powerful the will power it can carry. In other words, if the soul is powerful enough, then the potential of the martial spirit will be powerful enough. Besides that, it is extremely hard to increase the power of the martial spirit.
So, the relationship between the soul and the will power is just like I had guessed. " Ye Chen had already sensed that the relationship between the soul and the will power was not normal. Right now, after hearing grand elder Chen's explanation, he had a clear feeling about it.
Without any hesitation, Ye Chen directly moved the whole rock and the plant into his mid rank storage ring. The mid rank storage ring was ten times bigger than the low rank one, and could barely contain a ten meter square rock.
A look of admiration appeared on grand elder Chen's face. He was still far from the end of his lifespan, but no one would not want to see the plant, and he was no exception.
