CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 394 THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD SPIRITUAL MEDICINE! WHITE DEER FAWN!_1

The Golden Body Moon Corpse could be called aberrant, as it remained unharmed in the face of the Man-Eating Flower Demon’s attacks and its poisonous blood.

The Yin Sha Silk, stained a bluish-green by the poison, danced in the air. Its slender threads were like divine weapons, easily dismembering the Man-Eating Flower Demon.

In Zhang Peng Peng’s hands, the Yin Sha Silk was like adding wings to a tiger, truly a formidable weapon.

Both being at the God Transformation Level, the Man-Eating Flower Demon had no power to resist.

The Yin Sha Silk and the Purple Thunder Exorcising Sword were both Late-stage Soul Transformation magical treasures. Their power in the hands of different people was incomparable.

The Purple Thunder Exorcising Sword and sword Divine Skills couldn’t slash open the Man-Eating Flower Demon, but Zhang Peng Peng could dismember the target with the Yin Sha Silk.

A Fifth-Order Magical Beast that couldn’t win a fight could still run away. They were set on fleeing, and keeping them from escaping was not an easy task.

With well-developed roots, the Man-Eating Flower Demon had no ability to leave and could only take the beating.

The net of heaven and earth formed by the Yin Sha Silk swiftly sliced the Man-Eating Flower Demon into neat blocks of wood.

A ball of dark green Demon Soul turned into a streak of light, trying to escape.

A Fifth-Rank Demon Soul?!

Unlike the Demon Souls produced by the Demon Refining Pot, which were chaotic and not transparent, resembling floating mist.

The Divinity Transformation Demon Soul was of higher quality and better grade, and the soul shadow of the Man-Eating Flower Demon was clearly visible.

High-quality Demon Souls were more suitable as Spiritual Treasure Spirits, while those produced by the Demon Refining Pot were only fit to serve as inferior substitutes.

Zhang Peng Peng opened her mouth as if she were going to swallow the Demon Soul alive.

If the Divinity Transformation Demon Soul were to be devoured by a Refined Corpse, it would be an utter waste.

Jia Ren ordered Zhang Peng Peng to stop attacking and took out a Yellow Gourd, quickly capturing the Fifth-Rank Demon Soul inside it.

Zhang Peng Peng bared her teeth at Jia Ren, apparently quite dissatisfied.

"Retract the Formation!"

Jia Ren, concerned about the Golden Body Moon Corpse losing control, decisively interrupted the Yin Moon Devil Corpse Great Array.

The moon crown vanished without a trace, and the strength borrowed from the formation rapidly drained away.

Zhang Peng Peng’s skin quickly shed its golden hue, reverting to its original bright silver color.

She stared at Jia Ren, the ferocity gone, returning to her ’obedient’ appearance.

Once my cultivation level reaches the Late Nascent Soul Stage, I’ll test again to see if there’s any danger of the Golden Body Moon Corpse losing control. Once I’m sure there’s no risk of losing control, it will be time to promote it to the Golden Body Moon Corpse.

The Yin Moon Devil Corpse Great Array not only advanced the Silver Moon Yaksha to the Golden Body Moon Corpse but also showcased the formidable strength of the Golden Body Moon Corpse to Jia Ren.

A batch of strong Golden Body Moon Corpses used as enforcers could even add Divine Transformation Period Demon Beasts to the menu.

It’s a pity that the Puppet Demon Insects are trash! They advance too slowly, the Refined Corpse’s rank is too high, and there’s the risk of losing control. Hoping for a Golden Body Moon Corpse at the Late-stage of Soul Transformation while only at the Nascent Soul Stage is wishful thinking. When I have time in the future, I’ll learn how to make puppets, which should be easier to control than refining corpses.

After Jia Ren confirmed that the Man-Eating Flower Demon didn’t possess the so-called dual soul in one body and was truly dead, he collected its remains and gathered several gourds of its Demonic Blood.

The materials from a Fifth-Rank Demon Beast were treasures. Its poisonous blood could be refined into poison, which might come in handy unexpectedly.

The other Demonic Beast Materials weren’t bad either; the tooth-like petals were extremely tough and sharp, excellent materials for Refining Treasures.

The most precious was the dark green wood core found in its remains. It was not only a Demon Core but also an excellent material for crafting Spiritual Treasures.

Jia Ren hadn’t been in the Giant Forest Secret Realm for long, but he had discovered a Heavenly Earth Elixir and a Fifth-Rank Divine Transformation Period Flower Demon, yielding astonishing rewards.

He hadn’t forgotten his purpose for this trip, which was to find a suitable Magical Beast for transforming into a Xuan Beast Avatar, leaving the treasure searching to his Insect External Incarnation.

After cleaning up the battlefield, he packed up the hundred-plus Silver Moon Yakshas and set off towards the east.

There was a disturbance in the distance, accompanied by the cries of Magical Beasts.

Jia Ren used his divine consciousness, which was comparable to that of a Late Nascent Soul Stage. Without an overwhelming advantage, finding a target also meant alerting others to his probing.

The Heavenly Vision activated, and he looked in the direction of the disturbance.

A beautiful white-robed female Cultivator manipulated a basket that emitted white light, descending upon a Marten with deep black fur around its eyes and yellow-brown fur.

It looked a lot like the iconic Crispy Noodle Snack mascot.

The little raccoon kept leaping through the forest, dodging the female Cultivator’s grasp, and in panic ran towards Jia Ren.

"Stop, following me is the best fate for you."

It was no wonder the female Cultivator coveted the extremely attractive Yellow Marten Demon.

If she didn’t want to keep it as a spirit pet, it wouldn’t have survived this long.

How could a Third-Rank early stage Demon Beast possibly outrun a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from Lingbao Sect?

A white ribbon shot out swiftly, coiling around it.

PFFFT!

A cloud of yellow smoke burst out from behind the Yellow Marten Demon’s rear, carrying a shockingly foul stench.

As the immense stinky cloud roared in, even the Lingbao Sect female Cultivator’s Spirit Shield couldn’t block it, and she nearly fainted from the stench, doubling over to retch nonstop.

Her face turned green, and she was unable to pursue. It was clear this fart possessed extraordinary power.

Jia Ren watched the Yellow Marten Demon rush towards him with a strange expression.

It couldn’t possibly detect him, even when he used the Bewildering Spirit Bead to hide. Was this running right into his hands?

One fart took down a Nascent Soul female Cultivator, and even a Spirit Shield couldn’t block it. Its potential was remarkable.

If he were to use this Demon’s fart to make a poison smoke, its power would definitely be formidable. It seems we were fated to meet.

Jia Ren raised his hand to collect the oncoming Yellow Marten Demon, casually putting it into the Mountain and Sea Pearl.

After everything was done, he then drifted away.

The female Cultivator took a Detoxification Pill and regained some of her spirit. Remembering the ’culprit’ Yellow Marten that had ’attacked’ her, anger surged forth from her heart, and venom from her gallbladder.

Using her divine consciousness, she searched everywhere, only to find nothing.

How could a Third-Rank small demon beast vanish into thin air? Could it also understand spatial Divine Skills?

Jia Ren searched all around, and with the aid of the Demon-Spotting Talisman, he encountered an increasing number of Magical Beasts.

Unfortunately, the vast majority were aggressive in nature and not suitable targets for cultivating the Kuruo Huasheng Jue.

Some were Tree Demons that could not move, possessing extremely low intelligence.

He travelled no fewer than eight thousand li, encountering more and more cultivators from his sect and Grey-robed Protectors, some even moving about in groups.

The Lingbao Sect seemed to have a way to communicate with the Protectors. Initially, most of the sect cultivators he met were acting alone.

Subsequently, it became common to see a Lingbao Sect disciple accompanied by a Protector.

Jia Ren continuously used the Bewildering Spirit Bead to cloak his presence, and no one was able to detect him.

Such rich Spiritual Energy!

The further east he went, the richer the Spiritual Energy became.

Places rich in nature’s spiritual energy often harbor Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, making them more likely to contain treasures.

Unfortunately, he did not bring a Treasure-seeking Mouse, or else there might have been some remarkable gains.

Using the Heavenly Eye Technique to confirm that there were no Lingbao Sect cultivators nearby, he boldly expanded his divine sense to probe his surroundings.

Many hidden Magical Beasts lay in this area, most with strong presences, and there were even two God Transformation Level Demon Beasts lurking in the dark.

Jia Ren quickly withdrew his divine sense. Relying on the Spiritual Treasure—the Bewildering Spirit Bead—as long as he did not actively reveal fluctuations of Spiritual Power and combined it with the Mirror Flower Divine Moon, he was practically invisible.

He passed through the area, casually collecting any high-age Spiritual Medicine he encountered into his bag.

The Giant Forest Secret Realm was a treasure trove of Spiritual Medicine, a delight to any Alchemist who might come upon it.

While Magical Beasts like to consume Spiritual Medicine, it doesn’t mean they’d eat any and all of them.

They only identify and consume those that are of use to them, ignoring those they find useless.

Such Spiritual Medicine rarely grows to a ripe old age peacefully, as most of the time Magical Beasts are guarding them.

However, there is no shortage of Spiritual Medicine considered valueless and excluded from the diet of Magical Beasts.

The Giant Forest Secret Realm, unvisited by others, could be called the most opulent treasury of Spiritual Medicine, practically a land where treasures litter the ground.

Jia Ren collected a total of twenty-seven Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicines, fourteen Three-Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicines, and even three Five-Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicines.

His own fortune was incredible; one could hardly imagine what his Insect External Incarnation, carrying a Treasure-seeking Mouse and moving as if through unclaimed territory, could have amassed.

No wonder the cultivators from Lingbao Sect were ecstatic upon learning they could enter a newly discovered Secret Realm for trials.

As he harvested Spiritual Medicines along the way, he smelled a profoundly rich medicinal fragrance from afar.

Following the scent, Jia Ren found a later-stage Fourth Order green snake coiled up, with a black-hued Snake Orchid Grass growing beside it.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine?!

He boldly moved in closer, cautiously confirming that the green snake had not detected him.

His heartbeat accelerated, but under the dual influence of the Bewildering Spirit Bead and the Mirror Flower Divine Moon, the snake’s perceptions were misled.

Jia Ren quickly picked the Ten-Thousand-Year Snake Orchid Grass and, after walking some distance, placed the Spiritual Medicine into the Mountain and Sea Pearl.

The green snake, no longer sensing the familiar medicinal scent, its vertical pupils scanned around, and it couldn’t help but freeze on the spot.

Where’s my medicine?! How did my Spiritual Medicine disappear right under my nose?!

The agitated green snake thrashed about in fury, while Jia Ren had already made a clean getaway.

That was thrilling!

Sneaking a guarded Spiritual Medicine from under the nose of a later-stage Fourth Order Magical Beast without being discovered was freakishly effective.

I wonder if I could also fool a Fifth-Order Magical Beast?

Having just tried ’invisibility’ to harvest medicines, Jia Ren couldn’t help feeling tempted to try more.

For safety’s sake, let’s not provoke a Fifth-Order Magical Beast!

Magical Beasts reaching the Fifth Rank undergo a qualitative change. They are a world apart from those of previous ranks, with significantly enhanced Divine Soul and perception abilities.

Success would indeed yield high-aged Spiritual Medicines.

Failure... would mean suffering heavy damage from a Magical Beast, possibly ending up in the Underworld.

Jia Ren searched for a suitable Magical Beast, treating any occasional Spiritual Medicine he encountered as a pleasant surprise.

Soon, he noticed a vast expanse of green light. It seemed to nourish all living things, aiding in the growth of nearby plants.

A Magical Beast’s innate spell? To assist plants in growing rapidly?

With such an innate ability and paired with the Kuruo Huasheng Jue, it was a perfect match.

Looking toward the source of the magical anomaly, Jia Ren saw a joyous White Deer bounding around, feeding on the surrounding Spirit Grass.

This beast, freshly born and still tender in appearance, had already reached the early Third Rank, a testament to its noteworthy talent.

The White Deer seemed to sense something, perked up its ears, and looked in Jia Ren’s direction.

Hmm, interesting.

Jia Ren had deployed the Bewildering Spirit Bead and Mirror Flower Divine Moon to hide his form and Divine Soul perception, confusing the target’s senses. Even a Fourth Order beast couldn’t detect him.

Could this be its innate talent as well? Truly extraordinary!

The stronger the innate talents of a Magical Beast, the more powerful a Mystical Beast Incarnation that can be refined from it will be.

For some reason, the White Deer felt a looming catastrophe and instinctively ran towards the distance.

Its premonitory Innate Divine Ability had helped it avoid many dangers, keeping it safe thus far.

Unfortunately for it, it wanted to flee, but how could Jia Ren possibly let it escape?

A powerful suction force emerged, and the helpless White Deer was promptly captured by Jia Ren into the Mountain and Sea Pearl.

Time to leave!

The moment the White Deer vanished, a tremendous God Transformation Level aura fluctuated from the distance, pursuing at an astounding speed towards the place where the little White Deer had disappeared.

Having snatched the fawn, here comes the mother!
