The amount of Red Yang Poisonous Dragon Saliva kept decreasing, and the area that Li Changshou left behind became wider.
He searched the places that were recorded in the ancient books to no avail. He searched the areas around the Chaos Treasure Forest to no avail.
Three days after rescuing Youqin Genya, Li Changshou still did not find any Immortal-Emancipating Herbs. Instead, as he ventured deeper into the North Continent, he found many useful poisonous herbs and spirit herbs.
He even caught two precious Corpse Incineration Worms, which he could use to refine Corpse Forging Powder. He now had 12 ways to deal with corpses.
Although he felt frustrated, he did not forget that he was in a dangerous place like the North Continent. He kept his guard up.
Logically, although Immortal-Emancipating Herbs were precious, they were poisonous herbs of a different kind. Very few people needed them.
The areas that he had searched were suitable for the growth of Immortal-Emancipating Herbs. However, he did not even see a single seedling.
This was strange.
He had tried his best to squeeze out time between his cultivation. Could the books on poison and medicine that he had read for decades be fake?
'Indeed, Master's providence is too bad.'
Li Changshou could only console himself. He got rid of the indignation in his heart and started to think about when he should go back.
He had to walk another 100 kilometers to the west!
If he could not find it, he would have to give up and go to the town to see if there were any Immortal-Emancipating Herbs for sale. However, the chances were slim.
Li Changshou moved quickly, leaving a trail of afterimages under his feet. He was going to complete the last part of his search.
He searched for 25 kilometers but found nothing.
He searched for 50 kilometers and circled the area where Immortal-Emancipating Herbs could grow. However, he did not find any traces of Immortal-Emancipating Herbs. Instead, he found a few precious spirit herbs that could be used to make the Soft Immortal Disperser.
The poisonous herbs that he wanted to use were all lined up in his storage Dharma artifact. He could not even find a single strand of the poisonous herbs that were useful to Master.
This was probably the difference in character and temperament.
If he could not find the Immortal-Emancipating Herbs, he would not be able to refine the Immortal-Melting Pill. This path would not work.
Fortunately, he had come up with a second and third plan. Although they were not as safe as the Immortal-Melting Pill, they would be able to help Master.
Buzz —
The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth fluctuated. Someone was fighting.
Li Changshou's soul sense immediately probed the source of the fluctuation, but the miasma ahead was too thick, and the poisonous gas was also turbulent, so the effective range of his probing was only about 20 miles.
The battle took place fifteen kilometers away. His spiritual sense caught sight of several figures moving about …
Would he arrive at the area where sectless cultivators were active if he continued forward?
Many Qi Refinement cultivators were active at the borders of the North Continent. They would usually venture thousands of miles deep into the North Continent in search of some rare and precious flowers and fruits. They would then barter for other items in exchange for cultivation resources that they needed for their own cultivation.
For example, Thorn Dove, who had been killed previously, had already cultivated to the Dao Requital Realm. When he was not doing dirty work, he relied on such tiring work to earn cultivation resources.
Li Changshou immediately thought of retreating.
Stopping, Li Changshou hid behind a rock and pondered.
He had already finished exploring the areas recorded in the ancient books, and there were Qi Practitioners fighting in the direction he was heading towards. If he didn't retreat now, when would he?
As the saying went, "A gentleman does not stand in front of a collapsing wall." This trip to the North Continent could only come to a regretful end …
Li Changshou suddenly perked up!
He spread out his soul sense and coincidentally caught sight of three unprepossessing jade-green grasses swaying gently at the top of a cliff 23 kilometers northwest of him!
They were shaped like orchids, but they were much shorter. There were mysterious patterns on their leaves, and each of them was wrapped in a layer of faint light.
Immortal-Emancipating Herbs!
Immortal-Emancipating Herbs that could poison Essence Immortals to death and severely injure Perfected Immortals' Essence Souls!
Furthermore, looking at the number of demonic patterns on them, the one in the middle was at least 3,000 years old. The accompanying grasses on both sides were also more than 1,000 years old!
Li Changshou almost jumped out from behind the rock.
However, he immediately recited the Heart-Calming Incantation to calm himself down. He had not obtained the herbs yet, so he could not celebrate too early.
Calm down. Once he obtained the herbs and left the North Continent safely, he could then celebrate …
That's not right. Refining elixirs is very troublesome. I should at least wait until I return to the mountain and successfully refine the Immortal-Melting Elixir. It would not be too late to celebrate then.
Let's do it!
Using the Earth Escape technique, Li Changshou headed straight for the Immortal-Emancipating Herbs. At the same time, he extended his soul sense underground to analyze the environment around the Immortal-Emancipating Herbs.
There was a bald old cypress tree beside the Immortal-Emancipating Herbs … Yes, he could use the Earth Escape technique to use the Wood Escape technique to get close to the Immortal-Emancipating Herbs.
However, poisonous herbs that were thousands of years old were definitely very nutritious to those poisonous beasts. It was impossible that there was no one guarding the herbs.
Indeed, Li Changshou very quickly discovered a Three-Eyed Blue Wave Serpent.
This serpent was hiding at the bottom of the cliff treacherously. It even knew how to hide its aura. Its 30-foot long body was hidden in the rocks, and its jade-green scales emitted a unique glow.
If not for Li Changshou's careful inspection, he would not have discovered this poisonous creature that was hidden in the environment.
There was already a bump in the middle of the Three-Eyed Blue Wave Serpent's head. It looked a little indecent and would easily make people have some bold ideas.
Its triangular head had already become long and narrow, and its body was thicker than that of ordinary snakes.
It was obvious that it was on the verge of transforming into a flood dragon and becoming an immortal.
The oldest Immortal-Emancipating Herb should be the key to its transformation into a flood dragon and becoming an immortal. However, its toxicity was not strong enough yet.
'This is not easy to deal with.'
Li Changshou also noticed that there were many white bones at the bottom of the cliff. Many of them were human-shaped skeletons.
He could not fight it head-on. He had to outsmart it.
This poisonous creature that was about to become an immortal was very powerful. It was a poisonous demon beast to begin with. Although he had brought nine different poisons that could threaten ordinary Essence Immortals, they were all useless against it.
With the Dharma spells that he had mastered, he might not lose to it if he fought it head-on. However, the surrounding environment was too dangerous. There were unstable factors everywhere.
How could he outsmart it?
Should he use the Earth Escape technique and run after plucking the herbs?
Snake-type ferocious beasts were very agile. This plan was obviously not feasible.
Li Changshou, who was traversing the ground at high speed, was deep in thought. Soon, he came up with more than ten plans.
He was getting closer and closer to the Immortal-Emancipating Herb that he had been dreaming of. Li Changshou's spiritual senses also detected the situation of the battle in the distance. He took a closer look and could not help but feel his aura surge. He coughed a few times and almost turned around to leave.
Why did he bump into her again?
Was this Youqin Genya poisonous? He might as well change her name to Toxic Genya …
He had drawn a map for her to head southwest. How did she end up here?
She was 1,000 kilometers away from where he had expected her to be!
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched a few times. He felt as if he had stumbled upon a blind spot.
"Eh? There's an immortal's suppressive aura among the people chasing after her? "
An idea flashed across Li Changshou's mind. He used his spiritual senses to capture the situation of the battle. Suddenly, he had a plan to outsmart the Immortal-Emancipating Herbs.
He thought about it carefully. If he had not sensed the fluctuations of the battle in this direction, he would not have discovered the three Immortal-Emancipating Herbs.
Based on his previous route, he would not have been able to find them in this direction.
From this point of view, he had to thank Toxic Genya.
"I saved you the last time. This time, I'll make use of you. We're even."
Li Changshou mumbled to himself. He paused for a moment in the ground and used his Earth Escape technique again.
He unleashed his Dharmic powers and tried his best to suppress the fluctuations of his aura. He quickly and silently made his way to the edge of the cliff and started to observe the people chasing after Youqin Genya.
At that moment, Youqin Genya's body was surrounded by flying swords that were burning with flames. Her body floated in mid-air and she was also moving toward the cliff.
The flying swords around her were spinning rapidly, forming an airtight line of defense.
However, Li Changshou could tell with one look that Youqin Genya was only putting on a strong front. She had not mastered the Dharma spell for sword kinesis. She only knew how to use fixed techniques and did not know how to adapt to the situation. She could not effectively counterattack while defending herself.
There were six men in black who were chasing after Youqin Genya. Two of them were at the Dao Requital Realm, while the other four were at the Void Return Realm. Although they were attacking with all their might, they did not lock onto Youqin Genya's vital points. It was obvious that they wanted to capture her alive.
Li Changshou's luck was not bad. There were two other Essence Immortals in the group who were maintaining the Dragon-Trapping Array. A certain Perfected Immortal was causing a ruckus and had also restrained the energy of the two Essence Immortals.
'These few fellows are probably not even enough to fill the gaps between the Three-Eyed Blue Wave Serpent's teeth.'
Fortunately, there were still two auras in the air that had not attacked yet. Li Changshou was familiar with these two auras.
It was Yuwen Ling, the great general of some country.
His junior brother from the Heaven-Breaking Peak, Yuan Qing.
Yuwen Ling was the only immortal within a 15-kilometer radius. He was the source of the immortal's suppressive aura that he had sensed earlier.
Li Changshou's mind started to race.
Come to think of it …
Why was Yuan Qing, the big, warm man, not being ruthless? Did he really think that there were no powerful people in the Duxian Gate?
Although the Duxian Gate was only a mid-tier Immortal Cultivation Sect, it was still a widely recognized Immortal Sect of the Three Schools. Even if there were a few immortals in charge of the secular world, the Duxian Gate would not take them seriously.
If Aunt-Master Jiujiu and the five of them did not return to the sect at the agreed time, there would definitely be immortals heading north to look for them. Yuan Qing and his group were simply digging their own graves by dragging their feet like this.
No matter what, wasn't this fake warm man just lusting after this fake ice mountain's body?
Tsk, despicable!
At that moment, in Li Changshou's eyes, Yuwen Ling, the immortal in the clouds, and the people who were chasing after Youqin Genya were already numbered as Tool One, Two, Three, Four …
With his spiritual senses locked onto Youqin Genya, Li Changshou activated his incantation and cast the Wind Speech Incantation, sending a voice transmission directly into Youqin Genya's ears.
"Use your current position as the Qian position. Retreat eight feet to the Zhen position."
Youqin Genya, who was using her sword to defend against the attacks from the Dharma treasures in front of her, was instantly shocked.
Senior Brother Changshou!
Why was he here?
Although she was confused, Youqin Genya had already subconsciously followed the instructions. She stepped on her flying sword and retreated, sticking close to the ground. Two streams of light flew past the sword array!
They were a short knife and a long nail. They attacked at high speed but missed!
"Retreat again. Six feet to the Zhen position."
Li Changshou's voice transmission sounded a little hurried. Youqin Genya dodged again as instructed. Two more streams of light slid down from the other side.
Then, Li Changshou's voice continued to enter her ears.
"Don't be in a daze. Counterattack if you have the energy to spare. Pay attention to your expression. Don't make them suspicious.
There's a powerful poisonous creature hidden under the cliff. Lure them over and use the poisonous creature to defeat the enemy.
Three feet to the Zhen position. Five feet to the Zhen position. "
Youqin Xuanya's gloomy eyes quickly regained their brightness at that moment.
She pressed her lips tightly together and grunted in her heart as a response.
Soon, she dodged left and right, gradually calming down. In the eyes of the six pursuers and the two people in the sky, Youqin Genya suddenly became agile.
Breakthrough in battle?
She dodged more than half of the six pursuers' attacks. The flying sword, which could only be used for defense, immediately found an opening to counterattack.
With this increase and decrease, the pressure on Youqin Genya decreased significantly. She methodically retreated to the cliff where the Three-Eyed Blue Wave Serpent was hidden.
At the same time, Li Changshou's figure had already appeared in the rock strata above the cliff. He was less than a thousand feet away from the Immortal-Emancipating Grass.
The Three-Eyed Blue Wave Serpent seemed to have sensed something. It stuck its head out from the bottom of the cliff and looked around cautiously.
In front of the Immortal-Emancipating Grass was a patch of grass. The tall and sturdy black cypress tree stood 60 feet away from the cliff. Its shade covered the Immortal-Emancipating Grass.
Li Changshou found the main root of the black cypress tree. He released his Earth Escape Technique in the rock strata and withstood the immense pressure. He gritted his teeth and used the Wood Escape Technique. He tunneled into the main root of the cypress tree, hid his aura, and rushed up.
The old cypress tree: "…"
Eh?
Eh …
