After rescuing Wan Gang, the three of them first went to a place to rest and reorganize. During this period, Wan Gang adjusted his breathing for a while and finally recovered. Yi Tian was not stingy and took out a drop of First Origin Primordial Water and divided it into four portions.
Previously, when he was trapped in the formation, he felt that his resistance to the Red Millet Fog was much stronger than Yan Qiu's. He originally thought that it was because of his cultivation. However, after careful investigation, he realized that when he collected three drops of First Origin Primordial Water, the water spirit energy had infected his body. That was why Yi Tian was able to last for a longer period of time in the fog.
To his helper, Yi Tian would definitely spend a lot of resources. Although a quarter of the First Yuan Primordial Water contained a lot less spiritual energy, it was still irreplaceable in resisting the Bewitching Fog.
They might encounter similar situations in the future, so it was necessary for them to consume the First Origin Primordial Water first.
Moreover, the First Yuan Primordial Water contained an enormous amount of spiritual energy. After refining it, Yan Qiu and Wan Gang's cultivation base had increased. However, this quarter of the First Origin Primordial Water contained too much spirit energy. The two of them could only roughly refine it and were unable to completely digest it. However, after this matter was over, they would be able to reach the peak of the mid-Body Integration Stage or even the late-Body Integration Stage if they were lucky enough.
However, due to the urgency of the situation, the three of them could not stay for long. After talking for a while, Yan Qiu made an unexpected move. He directly handed over the Hundred Medicine Pestle in his hand. Speaking of which, this thing was also the reason why he mistakenly entered the Stone Soldier Eight Formations. However, after Yan Qiu had experienced a lot of things, he was aware that an ordinary man's wealth was his own ruin by arousing greed in others.
In addition, he still had lingering fears after being stared at by the tree spirit in the formation. Speaking of which, the tree spirit did not stare at him, but at the immortal artifact in his hand, the Hundred Medicine Pestle.
As a result, the immortal artifact that Yan Qiu originally wanted to touch was abnormally eye-catching. Yan Qiu knew that his cultivation was not strong enough to resist the tree spirit's stare. Instead of feeling uneasy about being stared at, it was better to just throw the burden away. At least this way, the pressure on his back would be reduced by a lot.
How could Yi Tian not know what was going on in Yan Qiu's mind? Handing over the item was a plan that could kill two birds with one stone. Not only would it lighten his burden, but it would also gain his favor.
However, he was still very interested in this "Pestle of Hundred Herbs". After all, it could make people feel it. In addition, the tree spirit and the wooden doll were especially afraid of it. This showed that this item was extraordinary.
He took the Hundred Medicine Pestle and smiled. "Thank you for your generosity, Fellow Daoist Yan. Since you've given me such a gift, I should return the favor."
After saying that, he took out an ice crystal shield defensive spirit weapon and handed it over. Yan Qiu glanced at it and saw that the palm-sized shield was overflowing with light and flashing with the luster of dark crystals.
Judging from its appearance, this Spirit Artifact was a Heaven Rank Spirit Artifact. In this environment, it would be of great use. To Yi Tian, this Dark Crystal Ice Shield was incompatible with his attribute, so he didn't use it often. Not to mention, he already had the Dragon Turtle Shield. With his current cultivation, there weren't many things that could threaten him.
Putting away the Ice Crystal Shield, Yan Qiu hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Previously, I received the Puppet Substitute Talisman from Fellow Daoist Yi. Now that I have this Ice Crystal Shield as a defensive spiritual artifact, I have nothing to worry about in this exploration."
Yi Tian responded with a faint smile. Then he turned to Wan Gang and said, "Do you have a way to contact Shi Jinming? It's best if we find him first before going to the formation core."
Wan Gang said with a difficult expression, "I've sent a communication jade token to him before, but I didn't receive any reply."
"Is that so? Given Shi Jinming's cultivation base, as long as he doesn't encounter Wu Jue or the Netherworld Boy, his life shouldn't be in danger. Although he looks carefree, he has been exceptionally careful ever since he entered the Immortal Plane fragment," Yi Tian sighed.
"He should be trapped in a formation somewhere." Wan Gang said, "However, since I can use your 'guide bee' to find this palace, I think Shi Jinming can do it too."
Speaking of this, Yi Tian hurriedly opened his divine sense and began to search for the location of the other 'guide bee'. However, he didn't find any trace after a while. Although his divine sense was restricted in this' Stone Soldier Eight Formation ', he could still cover a thousand miles.
Immediately, he silently channeled his cultivation technique. He remembered that he left a 'Flying Thunder Seal' on Shi Jinming before coming in. This was also the last way to search now.
As he quickly formed a hand seal, Yi Tian sensed that the 'Flying Thunder Seal' on Shi Jinming's body was about five thousand miles away from him. Although the 'Stone Warrior Eight Arrays' only occupied an area of ten thousand miles, and the five middle palaces did not have such a large space, Yi Tian roughly estimated that this array should have some runes that could shrink the ground into an inch.
Although the formation seemed to cover an area of ten thousand miles, the space inside could be expanded by more than ten times with the help of the formation mark.
After thinking for a while, Yi Tian sighed and pointed to the southwest. "We should be able to find Shi Jinming about five thousand miles away."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Wan Gang hurriedly agreed.
After the three of them gestured to each other, they all got up and flew towards the southwest direction using their escape techniques.
Along the way, Yi Tian saw that many areas were covered in red fog. These should be areas where high-grade Celestial plants were planted. After flying for a hundred breaths, the sky not far in front of them suddenly turned dark red. The red fog was so thick that they couldn't see the end of it.
Compared to the 'Red Corydalis' fog, it paled in comparison. Such a big scene meant that there must be an extremely important Celestial World spiritual plant in it.
After thinking for a while, Yi Tian said in a deep voice, "If I'm not wrong, there must be something shocking in this area."
"Brother Yi, what do you think it is?" Yan Qiu asked hurriedly.
"I don't know, but one thing is for sure. Shi Jinming accidentally entered it. The place he is trapped in should not be far from the formation eye of the 'Five Middle Palaces'." Yi Tian thought for a while and said.
"Then how do we enter?" Wan Gang said with a serious face. He had suffered from this' Bewitching Fog 'before, so he naturally had lingering fears.
The coverage of the thick fog in front of them was far beyond imagination. At a glance, they couldn't see the end of it. Moreover, the color of this' Bewitching Fog 'was denser than the ones they had seen before. It could be imagined how long they could last if they entered.
But now that the arrow was nocked, they had no choice but to fly. If they didn't enter, they wouldn't be able to find Shi Jinming, let alone find the exact location of the formation eye. As a result, the three of them still couldn't escape from the 'Stone Soldier Eight Formations'.
After thinking for a while, Yi Tian took out the Taiyuan Wood Sword and Dragon Tortoise Shield. After casting it out, two protective barriers were erected around his body. Behind him, Yan Qiu and Wan Gang looked at each other. They could see the seriousness in each other's eyes. But after three breaths of time, they also took out their own defensive spirit artifacts and activated them to protect themselves.
Then Yi Tian took the lead and controlled the Taiyuan Wood Sword to shoot out several sword-lights. The sword-lights converged into a gust of wind to disperse the fog in front of them. Then, he took the lead and charged into the 'Bewitching Fog'.
Behind him, Yan Qiu and Wan Gang followed closely. The three of them were only about ten feet apart. The gust of wind from the Taiyuan Wood Sword that Yi Tian activated just happened to open up a space with a radius of forty feet. The 'Bewitching Fog' within it was completely dispersed.
After flying for several hundred kilometers, Yi Tian suddenly descended. The two behind him immediately followed. Not long after, the three of them arrived in a sea of red flowers.
At this moment, the 'Bewitching Fog' produced by the large amount of 'Red Corydalis' pollen was able to limit their range to about half a kilometer. If it wasn't for the 'Flying Thunder Seal', Yi Tian would have lost his way here.
After circling at a low altitude for a while, Yi Tian looked down and found a large number of skeletons below. Most of them were demon beast skeletons. As for human skeletons, he couldn't find a single one even after searching for a long time. He quickly pondered in his heart. It seemed that the 'Bewitching Fog' here was indeed powerful. These demon beast skeletons were most likely left behind by the demon beasts that had been placed in the 'Stone Soldier Eight Formations' back then. After scanning the skeletons with his divine sense, he could sense an extremely ancient aura from them.
After flying forward for a short while, Yi Tian's face lit up. He hurriedly pointed with his hand and transmitted his voice to the other two, "Found it. It's a thousand feet straight ahead."
Following the direction of his finger, he could see that in the sea of flowers a thousand feet away, there was a thirty feet tall stone giant sleeping soundly. It looked like Shi Jinming's original body.
Yi Tian glanced over and shook his head helplessly. Shi Jinming's soul power was the weakest among them. It was within his expectations that he would fall into this trap. Fortunately, as a stone clan cultivator, he had cultivated his innate ability 'Petrified Skin' quite well. After falling headfirst into the 'Red Corydalis' flowers and being entangled by a large number of thorns, he didn't hurt himself.
However, after scanning with his divine sense, Yi Tian's face showed some surprise. It was obvious that the thorns entangling Shi Jinming were very deliberate. The thorns were wrapped around his hands, feet, and neck, which were the weakest parts. It didn't make sense that these thorns weren't controlled by someone.
Looking around, there didn't seem to be anyone around. Yi Tian couldn't help but think of something. At the same time, he thought of the tree spirit, wood monster, and doll he encountered before.
At this time, Yan Qiu, who was following behind, caught up and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yi, why haven't you taken action to pull Shi Jinming out?"
"There's no hurry. Although Shi Jinming seems to be trapped now, his life is not in danger for the time being," Yi Tian said lightly.
"But we can't stay here for long. Although Brother Yi is strong and can protect us for the time being, we have to plan a way out in a dangerous situation," Yan Qiu said.
Yi Tian nodded and sighed. "Fellow Yan is right, but I have some worries in my heart for no reason. Moreover, with my cultivation level, the probability of my premonition coming true is very high."
Yan Qiu's face tightened when he heard the words. He immediately spread out his Divine Thought to search around, but he found nothing. But the more it was like this, the more his face became extremely ugly. Based on what he had said, there might be some unknown danger lurking below.
After thinking about it, Yan Qiu turned back and whispered to Wan Gang for a while. After a heated conversation, they also secretly raised their guard.
After a while, Yi Tian said in a deep voice, "In this case, you guys support me. After I pull Shi Jinming out, everyone will discuss the retreat."
After speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the 2. He took out the 'hundred medicine pestle' and wielded it in his hand. The half-foot-long 'hundred medicine pestle' flashed a golden light after swaying in his hand. It expanded more than 10 times in an instant.
After three breaths, the half-foot-long 'hundred medicine pestle' turned into a giant mace that was 10 feet long. Yi Tian stretched out his hand and controlled the mace to descend. When it was within 100 feet of Shi Jinming's body, there was a rustling sound from the flowers around. Then, hundreds of thorny vines as thick as a thumb shot out from the vines and attacked him.
The corner of Yi Tian's mouth twitched slightly. After a sneer, he manipulated the mace and began to attack randomly. The mace had already passed through the thorny vines and smashed them into pieces. Over a hundred thorny vines were cleared away in less than ten breaths.
The crisis in front of him was temporarily resolved, but Yi Tian didn't show any joy on his face. He frowned deeply and stared at the flowers below for a while. Suddenly, he shouted, "Go up, quick."
As soon as he spoke, he took the lead to fly higher. Although Yan Qiu and Wan Gang behind him didn't know what was going on, they had already been on alert. After hearing the shout, they also hurriedly followed.
A pink wind dragon appeared in the depths of the sea of flowers below. After sweeping from the bottom to the top, it directly swept the position where the 3 of them were just now. The next moment, a figure jumped out of the sea of flowers. He looked at the 3 of them for a while before saying, "It's you guys again. Do you really want to kill all of us?"
The one who spoke was the strange tree spirit child that he saw in the trap array before. But at this time, Yi Tian clearly noticed that this child was a little different than before. He was more than a foot taller. Originally, he was less than 2 feet tall and looked like a 3 years old child, but now he looked like a 6 years old child.
Fortunately, the spiritual pressure on his body didn't seem to have increased much. At this time, the red dudou he was wearing was gone and replaced by a children's jacket made of green leaves.
Yi Tian didn't expect him to have changed in such a short time. He secretly thought that if he let him return to his human form, his strength would be far greater than this. If this continued, things would be difficult. Fortunately, he seemed to be quite afraid of the 'hundred medicine pestle' in his hand. It seemed that the best plan was to explore the other party's strength first.
