Before they knew it, the sky had already darkened.
"Alright, it would be best if you do not train at night. The night here is filled with an invisible evil qi. If you are not careful, the evil qi will invade your mind and affect your mind." Yan Fengfeng was the first one to wake up from her meditation and wake the others up.
Ling Tianhao said, "Ye Chen is still training. Should we remind him?"
Hai Wuya chuckled, "Do not underestimate Ye Chen. His sword intent is the scariest I have ever seen. This bit of evil qi will not affect him at all. Plus, sword artists rarely go crazy. Their sword intent can kill the invading evil qi."
In the center of the mountain …
"Such a magical fruit! Not only does it contain a huge amount of natural power, it can also nourish the body and improve the dantian."
After reaching the Sea of Souls Realm, the breakthrough in the realm would also be the breakthrough in the dantian. Once the dantian was improved, the breakthrough would come naturally. As for the mind control ability, Ye Chen had never lacked it before, which was also the reason why he could reach the Sea of Souls Realm so quickly.
Sensing with his mind, Ye Chen could feel that his dantian was changing. As it changed, the Zhen yuan ocean inside was changing as well, becoming more and more pure. Every tiny bit of it had the power to pierce through mountains. If the whole Zhen yuan ocean exploded, it would definitely be able to turn everything within dozens of miles upside down. Shoo!
Shoo!
As his dantian and Zhen yuan changed, more and more impurities were smelted out, flowing into Ye Chen's right hand through his meridians. Ye Chen's right hand shone with a blue light, which was mixed with a grayish black qi. It had a corrosive property, causing the air to sizzle.
"I did not expect my Zhen yuan to have so many impurities, and they are corrosive as well."
Ye Chen had thought that his Zhen yuan was already pure enough, and even if there were impurities, there would not be many. However, he did not expect that he would still be able to refine out impurities from his pure Zhen yuan. Moreover, these impurities were different from the impurities he had seen before. As for his dantian, it contained even more impurities, since it was the place to store Zhen yuan. Every time he made a breakthrough, his Zhen yuan would be purified, but there would still be some impurities hidden in the corners of his dantian.
As time passed, Ye Chen's right hand was almost completely covered in that grayish black qi, which was very frightening. If he were to battle with someone, this palm attack would be enough to wound the opponent severely.
"Yeah, my dantian is expanding, and my Zhen yuan is increasing as well. I should not be too far away from the breakthrough."
Sensing the change in his dantian, Ye Chen took a deep breath and continued to circulate his Zhen yuan, speeding up the process.
The next morning …
Pop!
With the short mountain as the center, the natural yuan qi was messed up. Then, a shocking amount of yuan qi gathered into a yuan qi flow, passing through the surface of the mountain and pouring into Ye Chen's body. Meanwhile, Ye Chen's body was like an extremely precise machine, continuously converting the yuan qi flow into Zhen yuan.
"Breakthrough?"
Outside of the mountain, Yan Fengfeng and the rest could feel the natural change caused by Ye Chen.
"Tsk tsk … He is indeed worthy of being able to compete with the Dugu Jue Dantai Mingyue. Breaking through just like that … I wonder how much effort it took for me to reach Mid Sea of Souls Realm." Hai Wuya praised.
Inside the empty mountain, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes. Two beams of cold lightning shot out as he threw out a palm attack onto the mountain wall in front of him.
Pooh!
The mountain wall seemed to have decayed as it softened down.
"So many corrosive impurities!" Ye Chen was shocked.
"But, at least I have reached Mid Sea of Souls Realm. The amount and quality of my Zhen yuan have increased to another level."
For Ye Chen, every breakthrough was extremely precious. After reaching Sea of Souls Realm, the only thing he lacked was time.
"Ye Chen, you made a breakthrough?"
Yan Fengfeng and the other three walked in.
Standing up, Ye Chen laughed, "Not bad. I did not waste the fruit."
"Your breakthrough is indeed fast! It only took you half a day."
Ye Chen had closed up for training yesterday afternoon, and it was already the morning of the second day. Only fourteen hours had passed, and the four thought that it would take him until this afternoon.
"Sorry for making everyone wait for so long. Let's go now!" There was only one month in a year in the Savage Ruin Ancient Place, so the Savage Evil Qi was sparse. Moreover, as the month went on, the Savage Evil Qi would get thicker and thicker. Although Ye Chen was not afraid, he still had to think about Guan Qin and Ling Tianhao.
"Since that is the case, let's go!"
Yan Fengfeng nodded. After a night of rest, everyone was in a good condition.
…
The area on the map was very far away. After three days, Ye Chen and the other four finally arrived at the edge of the area.
"According to the map, there is a small forbidden place three hundred miles ahead. It is not a small forbidden place, and it is very dangerous. But, the more dangerous it is, the more rewards there will be." Yan Fengfeng opened the map and glanced at it before looking at the front.
"Fortune comes from danger. Since we are already here, how can we miss it?"
Hai Wuya laughed.
"Brother Hai is right."
No one would complain about having more treasures. In fact, resources were sometimes more important than talent. Otherwise, why would there be so many martial geniuses in the big martial institutions? Although Ye Chen was not a disciple of a big martial institution, he had a lot of opportunities along the way.
Three hundred miles was only a couple of breaths for the five.
This place was a massive volcano. The five stood on top of the volcano and looked down. It was obvious that the volcano was shockingly wide. It was more than a thousand meters wide. If such a wide volcano were to explode, it would be a devastating disaster.
"There are a lot of minerals in the volcano, as well as some extreme yang treasures."
Yan Fengfeng was the first to enter the volcano. She was a descendant of the Phoenix, so fire could not harm her at all. Instead, it could increase her battle power. Coming to the volcano was like coming home.
The inside of the volcano was a massive space. The top of the volcano was more than a thousand meters wide, and the bottom was dozens of li wide.
As far as the eye could see, it was a golden lava lake. There were many huge black rocks on the surface of the lake, and on these rocks, there were some spirit plants. A few golden plants attracted Ye Chen's attention.
"Intense Sun Grass is not a precious spirit plant, but refining the Shadowless Poison's antidote requires it. The intense yang medicinal power can eliminate most of the poison."
Shua!
Flying down, Ye Chen picked a few Intense Sun Grasses.
The others also started moving.
Hovering above a massive rock, Yan Fengfeng frowned. On the surface of the rock, there were some dents, which were left by harvesting the herbs. Judging from these dents, they were obviously made recently, as the edges and corners were very clear.
"Someone has been here."
Yan Fengfeng came to a conclusion.
"Indeed, someone has been here. But, there is not even a single upper grade fire cloud stone. Only some mid grade and below."
Hai Wuya was greatly disappointed.
Fire cloud stone was an extremely precious spirit stone, containing a powerful flame power. Normally, it would be formed in volcanoes. However, ordinary volcanoes only had low grade fire cloud stones. Mid grade fire cloud stones would take at least several thousand years to form, and upper grade fire cloud stones could only be found in volcanoes that had existed for tens of thousands of years.
"A huge battle took place here."
Ling Tianhao found traces of battle on the inner walls of the volcano.
"Bad luck, let's go somewhere else!"
Yan Fengfeng flew out.
…
Half a day later …
Yan Fengfeng's face was unsightly, "All the forbidden areas on the map have been entered by someone, and it was only recently."
"What a coincidence!"
Hai Wuya revealed a doubtful expression.
Sucking in a deep breath, Yan Fengfeng said, "The other party should have a map just like me."
She had already thought it through. The person who had sold her the map must have made a lot of copies. Although hers was the original, it did not make much of a difference.
Ye Chen thought for a bit and said, "If we search the forbidden areas in order, we will only be one step behind the others. In my opinion, we should choose the furthest forbidden area first."
"Ye Chen is right."
Hai Wuya's eyes shone.
"That's the only way."
Yan Fengfeng felt that this method was feasible.
…
"Haha, no one has been to these forbidden areas indeed. Brother Ye is indeed smart." On top of a mine, Hai Wuya looked at the precious ores and spirit plants growing along with them, and could not help but laugh.
Starting from the furthest forbidden area, the five explored several forbidden areas. The forbidden areas of the Savage Ancient Place were indeed dangerous. But, with the five working together, there was no situation they could not deal with. Each of them had a bountiful harvest.
"I have already found more than half of the materials for the Shadowless Poison. Perhaps, I can get more." The Shadowless Poison was one of the most mysterious poisons in the world. Even Life and Death Realm warriors could not cure it. It was not hard to imagine how rare and precious the materials for the antidote would be.
After sweeping through this forbidden area, the five flew toward another forbidden area.
A thousand miles away, there was a huge underground cave, and one could faintly hear the roar of a dragon coming from it. Outside the cave, colorful Yuan Qi gathered into the shape of a dragon, circling and soaring. It was a grand scene. Many demonic beasts rushed into the cave, but soon, miserable cries rang out and stopped abruptly.
Shoo! Shoo!
A group of people flew over.
"Such a rich dragon qi! This place must be a dragon cave."
This group of people was indeed the Sky Tiger race's Moqi Lou and the Blue Eyed White Wolf Ao family's Ao Wubai and the rest of them that Yan Fengfeng and the other four had met on their way to the Savage Ruin Ancient Place.
Moqi Lou chuckled, "There are a lot of Dragon Blood Plants in the ruins, which are quite beneficial for us demi beasts. If we can get the Dragon Bone Jade Marrow, it would be even better."
Ao Wubai said, "After so many years, the Dragon Bone Jade Marrow would have turned into fossils already."
"Although the chance is small, it is not impossible. Let's go in."
Moqi Lou could sense that there were a lot of powerful beasts in the cave. He immediately activated his Zhen yuan, and a fierce tiger shadow appeared behind him. It had a pair of wings on its back, and its pupils were gold in color.
A Blue Eyed White Wolf shadow appeared behind Ao Wubai as well. Obviously, it was even more powerful than the warriors from the Ao family that Ye Chen had met before. It was even four to five times bigger, and there was no emotion in its blue eyes.
As for the few people behind them, they were all demi beasts as well. They all activated their bloodline shadows; some of them were bears, and some were eagles.
After half an hour, another group of people arrived. It was Ye Chen and the other four.
"Dragon qi! It is the dragon cave!"
Yan Fengfeng and Ye Chen were the first to sense the dragon qi in the sky.
