Chapter 278 - Black Yin Spring
Chapter 278: Black Yin Spring
The demon beasts behind were not very strong, but a group of them gave him a lot of pressure.
Li Yuanqing stretched out his palm. With that palm as the center, a huge power erupted. A force shook out and directly pushed these demon beasts dozens of meters away.
The speed at which the demon beasts gathered gradually increased. The deeper he went, the stronger the demon beasts became. When he reached the center, he could clearly feel countless energies lurking under his feet.
In the center, there was a difference from some places outside. Other than the countless glowing bodies in the river that emitted light, there were also pieces of turtle shell-shaped land inside.
On the small exposed lands, there were many lush plants growing. These plants were squeezed together, but their growth was very pleasing. There was no lack of many precious materials, and some of them could even reach a thousand years old.
After Li Yuanqing dismissed the demon beasts behind him, he no longer hesitated. He took a step forward and landed on one of the islands.
These islands were of different sizes. The big ones were about ten meters in diameter, and the small ones were barely enough for a person to stand on. If he stepped on it with one foot, he would destroy countless treasures.
Li Yuanqing tried his best to maintain the stability of his body and landed on one of the half-sized islands. There were all kinds of plants growing on it with dense and gorgeous flowers.
Just as Li Yuanqing bent down and was about to pluck it, a green bolt of lightning the size of a finger suddenly jumped out from the green grass. That fellow moved extremely quickly. One could almost only see a figure pass by before it arrived at Li Yuanqing’s hand.
God knew what would happen if he was bitten by this thing.
Li Yuanqing’s palm instantly turned golden, as if he was wearing a layer of golden gloves. He suddenly slapped his hand back and grabbed the little fellow.
At a glance, this was a small snake that was only a few inches long. Although this snake’s body was not big, the energy on its body was extraordinary. This little fellow emitted a very dangerous power. Moreover, even though Li Yuanqing had grabbed it and had grabbed its weakness, the little snake still did not give up struggling. It kept twisting its head around, wanting to bite Li Yuanqing’s hand.
Such an inconspicuous snake was actually at the seventh-grade Spirit Transformation Realm. This fellow looked like a newborn baby. His cultivation level was already so high. It was simply unbelievable.
Li Yuanqing raised his other hand and gently patted the head of this little fellow. Its head tilted and it fainted from Li Yuanqing’s slap. It lay on Li Yuanqing’s hand and stopped moving.
After knocking the little fellow out, Li Yuanqing casually threw it into the lake. Now, the nominally Ten Thousand Mile Grassland had truly become a large lake. However, he did not know if it used to look like this.
Although this little fellow did not pose any threat to Li Yuanqing, many figures had gathered around him after a while. He turned around and saw colorful demon beasts staring at him from under the water.
These fellows seemed to have higher intelligence. They were just lying low there. Their numbers gradually increased and slowly surrounded the island.
Seeing them waiting for an opportunity, even Li Yuanqing felt a chill run down his spine. The killing intent emitted by so many vicious demon beasts was still strong enough to pressure people.
Li Yuanqing was about to defeat them when he suddenly heard that familiar voice in his mind.
[Signed in at Black Yin Spring successfully. Reward received.]
[Reward One: Spiritual Yin Water Pill.]
[Reward Two: Black Mirror Cloak.]
Two more things that he had never heard of before appeared. Ever since Li Yuanqing arrived at this place, all the rewards were those he had never heard of or seen before. Even the place under his feet was so strange. He felt like he had discovered something.
After some hesitation, Li Yuanqing still chose the Black Mirror Cloak.
This thing sounded like a defensive item. The Spiritual Yin Water Pill probably could not be of much use in such a situation. He could only say that he was not fated to use it for the time being.
[Congratulations on obtaining the Black Mirror Cloak.]
There was suddenly something in Li Yuanqing’s hands, but he was not sure if there was such a thing. He looked down at his hands. They were empty. Nothing was in his hands. However, he could clearly feel a little weight in it. It was so difficult to tell if it was real or fake.
Just as Li Yuanqing was hesitating, the number of demon beasts gathered behind him increased. These demon beasts were of various sizes and were much larger than the ones outside. Moreover, the strength of these fellows was high.
It was easy to chase away the little fellows outside, but it was not that simple here.
Most of these demon beasts seemed to have already touched the threshold of the Formation Arrangement Realm. Many of them were even at the Formation Arrangement Realm. Moreover, their strength had increased greatly in this water area.
Li Yuanqing spread out the thing in his hand and weighed it twice. It felt like a piece of clothing. Coupled with the strange name just now, he tentatively draped it over his body.
A strange scene happened. Li Yuanqing could clearly feel that the place where he was wearing the cloak was much less cold. It was even a little warm. Most importantly, those places looked transparent from the outside. When he looked down, his shoulders had completely turned transparent and he could see the land below.
This made Li Yuanqing overjoyed. He did not expect that a random treasure would have such a magical effect. He hurriedly fumbled around. After a while, the island was empty and there was no sign of anyone. Li Yuanqing, who was standing here just now, seemed to have disappeared from the world.
The large group of demon beasts surrounding the lake were also like headless flies. They had originally gathered under the island and had already identified their target, wanting to tear that person into pieces. However, all of a sudden, that fellow had used some unknown method to disappear from the island.
These demon beasts hesitated for a long time but were still unwilling to disperse. It could be seen that although the intelligence of the demon beasts here was still relatively low, it had already increased greatly compared to the outside world.
Li Yuanqing carefully hid in the cloak. He put it on and even covered his face, covering his entire body. However, although the cloak was sealed very tightly, he could actually see the situation outside clearly from inside.
Moreover, it seemed that this cloak had the ability to strengthen the image outside. If one looked out from inside, they would even be able to see it more clearly than their own eyes.
Those demon beasts struggled for a long time. Although they were unwilling to give up, they still dispersed helplessly in the end. They also wanted to find a place to vent their strength, but they could not find such an outlet in the end. They could only watch as Li Yuanqing disappeared.
After these demon beasts dispersed, Li Yuanqing still did not take off his cloak. Just like that, he began his harvest on the island.
This island was filled with good stuff. There were large clusters of purple flowers and green sand vines all over the flower vines. There were even many fiery red balls among the flowers.
These balls looked very bright and looked like some kind of fruit from the outside, but these little things were actually flowers.
This thing was called the Heaven Burning Fire.
It got its name because it looked like a ball of flames. Its appearance was so unique, and it was indeed wrapped in powerful fire-attribute spiritual power. As long as he could extract the fire-attribute spiritual power inside, he would be able to use it. The fire inside was very powerful.
As long as these flames stuck to his body, they could not be extinguished easily. These naturally formed flame seedlings could become a very powerful weapon with some nurturing.
However, it was a pity that the flame seedling of the Heaven Burning Flame did not have the ability to continue growing. This was also the price. It had such powerful flames with such a small body. The price was that these flames did not have much growth potential and could only be used as refining materials.
Although there were flaws, it did not prevent the Heaven Burning Flame from becoming a very popular refining equipment. To cultivators like them, it was naturally a great thing to have such a powerful weapon.
Li Yuanqing also collected many of these things. Fortunately, they were strong enough and there were enough of them. They were very suitable for practice.
Firstly, it was relatively easy to refine some very powerful Dharma artifacts. Secondly, because there were many of them, he did not feel any heartache and could refine them many times.
Since there were so many things growing here, Li Yuanqing did not stand on ceremony at all. He almost wiped out the entire island.
After the breeze blew, the originally lush island had become bare. It was no longer filled with vitality.
These were all done by Li Yuanqing, who was hiding under his cloak.
In the face of so many natural treasures, Li Yuanqing had no time to think about showing mercy. He picked another large pile of them and put them into his domain.
Now, his domain also raised many demon beasts. Most of these demon beasts were still relatively weak and were used as decorations. Now, these guys were completely gathered in this place.
They all smelled this rich and fragrant smell and looked eagerly at the pile of natural treasures on the ground, eager to obtain them. Those creatures’ instincts told them that the things in front of them were all good treasures. If they could obtain one, their strength would increase greatly.
However, in Li Yuanqing’s domain, restrictions were very powerful. Without Li Yuanqing’s orders, they could not attack even if they wanted to.
Just like that, Li Yuanqing finally found the Three Blue Grass he was looking for after raking through several small islands.
It was said that the growth habits of the Three Blue Grass was very unique. The so-called Three Blue, firstly, represented the water source with the clearest water quality. Secondly, it could only be raised on a spirit vein with dense spiritual energy. Thirdly, and the most unique place. The Three Blue Grass and the so-called Blue Worm were born together.
There would definitely be Blue worms wherever there was Three Blue Grass. Only the nutrients produced by the Blue Worms could nurture the unique substance needed for the Three Blue Grass to grow.
This was also why the Three Blue Grass had such harsh requirements for the environment they grew in. It was because these Blue Worms were the most important.
The Three Blue Grass had three leeks-shaped leaves. They drew a perfect arc in the air and split in three directions.
Li Yuanqing carefully loosened the soil below and dug out a small pit. He then pulled out the Three Blue Grass with a large amount of soil on the roots. Then, he carefully washed the soil with the water below.
As the soil peeled off, one of the very fat Blue Worms was gradually revealed. The worm was blue all over and had a fat head and big ears. It seemed to be twisting its body before waking up.
After being washed by the cold lake water, the little bug twisted its head in dissatisfaction, as if it was protesting. It seemed to have sensed another very powerful source of power and turned its head in Li Yuanqing’s direction.
The dozens of feet of this little bug were firmly rooted to the roots of the Three Blue Grass. The two of them were one.
Li Yuanqing was very satisfied. He looked at the little bug. This little bug was the key to the Three Blue Grass. If he wanted to perfectly unleash the greatest effect of the Three Blue Grass, this Blue Worm was also indispensable.
He had gained a lot this time. He did not expect there to be so many places in the Catacombs where people could obtain so many good things.
Perhaps it was because the people in the Catacombs were too weak, so they could not come. There were so many treasures here, all waiting for him to discover.
Compared to the barrenness of the resources in the outside world, this vast grassland was simply like a natural resource treasure vault.
