Wutian didn't know what was happening outside. He was working hard to refine the stone beast.
The stone beast's body was too large and the earth element energy was extremely rich, making the refining process even more difficult.
However, in order to increase the defensive power of his body, it didn't matter how hard it was.
Ten days. Wutian used ten days to refine the stone beast's body. It was a really long process!
In these ten days, Wutian stayed in the cave, not taking half a step out. He didn't eat, drink, rest, or rest. Finally, he finished refining the stone beast.
His body was covered in a yellow light, as if he was wearing a layer of armor. His body was no longer as white as before, but had a faint bronze color. He looked quite manly.
Around him were piles of gray dust. These were the impurities that were expelled from refining the stone beast.
After refining the stone beast, his strength had increased by more than 500 pounds as expected. He was one step closer to the perfect state.
Strangely enough, the Rock Beast was an earth elemental monster beast, but Wutian was able to completely absorb the essence of its body as well as its earth elemental essence. It was no different from ordinary blood qi or essence.
According to common sense, someone without a spirit body would not be able to absorb elemental essence energy. They would need an equivalent spirit body and essence energy.
For example, an earth spirit body could absorb earth element essence energy or fire element essence energy. Because of the principle of fire creating earth, fire element essence energy could be indirectly converted into earth energy.
It had never been heard of someone without a spirit body being able to absorb elemental essence energy. However, Wutian was able to do so.
When he was in the back mountain of the dragon village, he could feel that he could slowly absorb water element essence energy.
However, at that time, he had just stepped onto the path of cultivation and didn't think too much about it. Later on, he didn't have the chance to understand the series of events that happened.
After checking his body, Wutian didn't find anything wrong. Then, he took out a jade bottle. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the bottle. Immediately, water element energy rushed out.
In the cave, water vapor rose. In an instant, the soil was wet. His clothes and hair were also soaked.
There were a total of eleven water element essences in the jade bottle. They had been refined by Little Tian when he had refined the energy in the token back in the mountain.
At that time, Wutian didn't pay much attention to it and kept it in his mustard seed bag.
Now that he could actually refine earth elemental energy, and not as slowly as before, then he should be able to absorb water elemental energy as well.
"Let's give it a try!"
He took out a pill that was the size of a fingertip. It sparkled with jade green light, and it was as if there were ripples undulating on its surface. The power of water surged to the extreme!
Wutian hesitated for a moment before tossing it into his mouth. Instantly, he felt an icy cold energy spread through his body, surging through his limbs and bones, nourishing every inch of his skin. His body quivered, his mind was invigorated, and his body and mind felt extremely comfortable!
However, he frowned. The Water Elemental Essence could be absorbed, but like the Earth Elemental Essence, the effect it brought was exactly the same as ordinary Essence, or even worse.
This was because the Earth Elemental Essence could refine the body, but the Water Elemental Essence couldn't. It could only merge into the Qi Sea and become a part of the Essence.
"Strange …" Wutian was puzzled. The Water Elemental Essence could be absorbed, but the effect was no different from ordinary Essence. The real effect couldn't be fully displayed, and this made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was like having a divine tree, but he didn't know what to do with it. He could only use it as firewood.
Wutian shook his head and put away the jade bottle. The Elemental Essence was very rare. The value of a single pill was several times that of an ordinary Essence. If he had a chance, he might as well sell it and exchange it for ordinary Essence. He couldn't waste it casually.
As for the abnormality in his body, he couldn't figure it out, at least not in a short time.
"Buzz buzz!"
The short mountain that had been calm for ten days suddenly trembled. The several demonic beasts on the mountain were startled. They hurriedly got up and ran dozens of feet away, vigilantly looking at this place.
In the middle of the short mountain, a crack quickly appeared. Gravel fell and dust flew up. A white figure rushed out from the crack.
After the end of the year, Wutian was already seventeen years old. He had already passed the stage of youth. A few months had passed, and his body had grown a lot taller. He was now a real man.
On the surface, his body looked rather frail like a scholar. However, no one could imagine how much strength was contained within his body!
Wutian looked around. It was still the same as before. A vague aura was wandering around here, as if it was maintaining the order of this place and guarding its own territory.
The demonic beasts were killing each other. Blood splashed everywhere, and screams and wails were endless. The strong looked down on the world, and the weak became food. This was the iron law of nature, and no one could change it!
"Buzz!!!"
The Ten Thousand Elephant Token vibrated. He took it out from his waist. There were hundreds of messages inside. He skimmed through them one by one. In the end, his face turned cold and murderous.
His premonition was right. The Tide trio wouldn't be finished so easily. However, he didn't expect that they would use such a vicious scheme to make him a murderer in the eyes of everyone in the Faction.
However, this didn't cause much trouble for Wutian. The innocent knew that they were innocent, and the guilty knew that they were innocent. Plus, according to his personality, he wouldn't explain himself because there was no need to.
As for the Tide trio and Gong Zijie, they were all targets that he had to kill.
Shan Youde and the others had already told him what happened ten days ago through the Ten Thousand Elephant Token.
If it only affected him, he wouldn't care. However, if it involved Shi Shi, he would never allow it.
After a moment of silence, Wutian put away the token, killed a few demonic beasts in the peak stage, and disappeared into the dense forest.
Two days later, he came to a swamp. Standing on a big tree, he looked ahead and frowned.
These two days, he had been advancing step by step. He would stop at every section to observe carefully and be vigilant. However, he wasn't as lucky as last time. He didn't know how many Channel Opening Stage demonic beasts he encountered, so he had to change his path.
Without the protection of the Beast God, the demonic beasts wouldn't be polite to him. They would kill him as soon as they saw him. Fortunately, the Hundred Dynasty Stage demonic beasts were hiding in the dark. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep his life!
He also met a lot of fellow disciples, but most of them were direct disciples. There were almost no direct disciples. Some had died, and some had given up. Only those who followed the direct disciples could barely make it into the depths of the central region.
Killing was a constant, and death was happening every minute and every second!
According to his calculations, more than a hundred people had been torn apart and swallowed by the demonic beasts. In other words, almost twenty percent of the disciples who came in to train had died.
This was only a conservative estimate. The disciples who died in other places were not included.
The swamp in front of him was very wide. It was more than a thousand feet wide. Other than the bubbling sound, there was almost no other sound. It was so quiet that it was scary.
However, this swamp that was as silent as a dead land had attracted dozens of people.
The Fire Cicadas, Luo Shenzi, Han Tian and the others were among them.
They were divided into two groups and stood at different positions. They were separated by a few hundred feet and were all staring at a green grass in the middle of the swamp.
That's right, it was a green grass. It only had one leaf, and it was full of green light. It revolved around the green grass. It was dense and full of spirituality. Even so, in the dark swamp, if one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to find it.
A light fragrance filled this area!
It was unbelievable. The stinky swamp gas couldn't cover the fragrance of a green grass. This wasn't something that could be explained by common sense!
The two groups of people's eyes lit up. They seemed to desire that green grass. However, their brows were locked and they didn't go up to pick it.
There was no place to stand in the swamp. None of the people here had reached the Hundred Dynasties Stage. They couldn't form wings and fly.
Of course, there was a group of people who had flying spirit pets. However, no one moved. They glanced at the other group of people from time to time with some fear.
Gradually, there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.
On one hand, they were worried that if they went up to pick it, the ferocious beasts in the swamp would suddenly attack. On the other hand, they had to be wary of the other party riding a flying demonic beast and attacking first.
After a while, the Fire Cicadas took a few steps forward. He smiled and said, "Junior Sister, we can't stay here like this. If it is eaten by the ferocious beasts in the swamp, it won't be worth it. Why don't the other disciples stay and you two go and pick it together? What do you think?"
Luo Shenzi smiled sweetly and said, "Senior Brother's suggestion is good. But how do we split it?"
The Fire Cicadas didn't think about it and said directly, "Of course it'll belong to whoever gets it first."
"Haha, Senior Brother really knows how to joke. The effect of the Diyuan Spiritual Grass is comparable to the King's medicine. Eating one can immediately break through a small realm. If Senior Brother gets it, won't I be at a disadvantage?" Luo Shenzi said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that the always arrogant and condescending Junior Sister would have a time when she is not confident. It's really an eye-opener for me."
Not caring about the sarcasm in his words, Luo Shenzi said with a smile, "Arrogance has its limits. Sometimes it won't hurt to keep a low profile and be careful."
The Fire Cicadas was silent. If Luo Shenzi agreed, he could easily get it. However, if other people joined, the scene would become chaotic and the chances of success would be much lower.
He was always calm and wouldn't do things that he wasn't confident in. Moreover, he wanted the Diyuan Spiritual Grass more than anyone else. He couldn't afford to lose it. Therefore, he didn't move and thought of a foolproof plan.
The negotiation failed and the two sides continued to be in a deadlock. No one dared to move.
"Diyuan Spiritual Grass …"
Wutian hid in the tree and glanced at the two sides. He then looked at the grass. This spiritual grass was extraordinary. It could absorb the essence of the earth to grow and had the miraculous effect of increasing one's realm.
According to his guess, this place used to be a piece of land. Because of its appearance, it absorbed the essence of the earth and turned into a swamp.
"If I can get the Diyuan Spiritual Grass, I can break through to the perfection stage. Then the initial stage Channel Opening Stage monsters shouldn't be a threat anymore!" Wutian muttered.
His heart was burning with passion. The Jadewave Forest was too terrifying. Increasing his strength was equivalent to having an extra layer of insurance, an extra layer of support.
Moreover, according to Shan Youde and Xiao Yi's description, although he couldn't confirm that the Fire Cicadas really had a problem, he still had to be vigilant.
Prevention is better than cure. He couldn't wait for an accident to happen before thinking of a solution.
However, Wutian didn't move. He knew that if he moved, the Fire Cicadas and the others would also move. At that time, facing dozens of people, the chances of success would be very low.
He pondered for a while and quietly jumped down from the tree. He wandered around the swamp, hoping to find the closest place to the Diyuan Spiritual Grass and the most suitable place to snatch it.
