The cave was pitch black. Fang Hong, transformed into a vine, nimbly avoided the gravel on the ground and quickly moved forward along the cave’s inner wall.

After about half an incense stick’s worth of time, Fang Hong finally reached the end of the cave.

The sight before him made Fang Hong pause. In the open space at the end of the cave, two giant pythons, completely crimson, were coiled.

These two giant pythons were enormous, their bodies intertwined, and they radiated firelight, clearly engaged in dual cultivation to enhance each other’s strength.

Fang Hong did not disturb them. Instead, he quietly moved to a hidden spot in the corner of the cave.

After confirming he hadn’t been discovered, Fang Hong dispelled the Verdant Wood Technique, reappearing in his human form as a middle-aged man.

Seizing the moment while the two giant pythons were still focused on dual cultivation and completely unguarded, Fang Hong unhesitatingly unleashed his demon soul banner.

Boom.

The demon soul banner instantly erupted with a terrifying black demonic qi, and then, a massive, terrifying skeleton artifact spirit flew out from the banner.

The skeleton artifact spirit’s eyes flickered with crimson light, and it opened its enormous mouth, wildly devouring the two giant pythons, who hadn’t even reacted yet.

The black demonic qi surged like a tide, completely engulfing the two giant pythons, the immense power of the Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact fully displayed at this moment.

The two giant pythons only reacted suddenly when the demonic qi wrapped around their bodies, attempting to struggle and resist.

But their souls, under the pulling force of the demon soul banner, had no room to resist whatsoever.

In just a few breaths, the eyes of the two giant pythons lost their luster, completely turning into two soulless corpses, and the firelight on their bodies also dissipated.

Fang Hong raised his hand and recalled the demon soul banner.

After absorbing the souls of these two Peak Golden Immortal Demon Beasts, the demon soul banner’s aura grew even stronger.

As long as it absorbed some more powerful souls, the demon soul banner’s advancement to a Tenth-Grade Immortal Artifact would be just around the corner.

Fang Hong fed the two corpses to the demon gourd, once again harvesting two Immortal Pills.

He then circled the cave, confirming there were no other treasures before returning outside the cave to gather Immortal Herbs.

In less than half an hour, Fang Hong had completely picked all the Immortal Herbs in the small valley, a satisfied smile on his face.

After confirming nothing was missed, he transformed back into a wooden vine and left the small valley.

Now, all the medicinal ingredients required for refining the golden bone pill and law condensation pill had been gathered.

As soon as he leaves the Treasure Realm and returns to his Cultivation Immortal Cave, he can immediately begin refining these two Immortal Pills.

At that time, with the medicinal power of the Immortal Pills, breaking through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm would be a certainty.

It was a rare opportunity to enter the Treasure Realm, and Fang Hong didn’t want to leave so early.

He continued to wander through the continuous mountain forests, hunting Demon Beasts and searching for various Immortal Herbs and treasures. It was the third day since entering the Treasure Realm, and Fang Hong’s gains over these two days were indeed considerable.

He had accumulated two hundred Late Golden Immortal Stage Immortal Pills alone.

In addition, his storage bag contained a large pile of Immortal Herbs, of various types, each of which was quite valuable.

Speaking of the origin of these two hundred Late Golden Immortal Stage Immortal Pills.

Just the day before yesterday, when Fang Hong was exploring a hidden Immortal Cave, he had barely taken a few steps into the entrance when the Immortal Cave suddenly vibrated with a hum.

Immediately after, two hundred giant bat Demon Beasts flew out.

These bat Demon Beasts had wingspans of over a zhang, and the auras they exuded had all reached the Late Golden Immortal Stage.

When Fang Hong saw so many Late Golden Immortal Stage Demon Beasts at the time, he not only showed no panic but his eyes instantly lit up.

Each Late Golden Immortal Stage Demon Beast could be refined into a decent Immortal Pill; so many bat Demon Beasts were practically an opportunity delivered to his doorstep.

After a fierce battle, he finally killed all two hundred bat Demon Beasts.

He fed all the corpses to the demon gourd, which resulted in the two hundred Late Golden Immortal Stage Immortal Pills he now possessed.

The Treasure Realm truly lived up to its reputation; the Immortal Herb resources and Demon Beast resources here were exceptionally abundant, and rare treasures could be encountered at regular intervals.

Fang Hong sighed inwardly as he traveled, even contemplating the idea of Cultivating here long-term.

Unfortunately, the Treasure Realm only opens for seven days each time. After seven days, all outsiders would be automatically expelled by the Treasure Realm.

Moreover, after closing, the Treasure Realm would move far away from the Immortal Realm, and the next opening would not be for several hundred years, making it impossible for anyone to stay long-term.

Fang Hong composed himself and continued to wander through the mountain forests.

There were still four days left, and he had to seize the time to find as many treasures as possible, not wasting this opportunity.

Rumble. Rumble.

Just then, a dull sound came from afar.

Along with the sound, Fang Hong also sensed constant flashes of lightning above a distant tall mountain.

That scene didn’t look like a natural phenomenon; instead, it seemed like Cultivators were fighting there, and the clash of Immortal Arts caused such a commotion.

Out of curiosity, Fang Hong transformed into a wooden vine and quietly headed towards that tall mountain.

In a place like the Treasure Realm, where Cultivators are fighting, treasures must have appeared; otherwise, no one would waste Immortal Qi to fight fiercely for no reason. Not long after, Fang Hong arrived at the summit of that mountain.

He didn’t reveal himself immediately but quietly hid in a large tree, peering through the gaps in the leaves at the open space ahead.

Indeed, just as he had guessed, two Cultivators were fighting there, but their opponent was not another Cultivator, but a massive Demon Beast.

It was a male Cultivator and a female Cultivator, both jointly fighting a two-headed winged Dragon.

From the clothes they were wearing, Fang Hong recognized at a glance that these two should be disciples of the Azure Sea Sect.

Moreover, the strength of these two was not weak; the aura fluctuations they emitted had both reached the Peak Golden Immortal Realm.

Looking at the two-headed winged Dragon, its body was over ten zhang long, covered in jet-black scales that looked incredibly tough.

Its Cultivation realm was only Late Golden Immortal Stage, but relying on its powerful physical body, it was able to fight back and forth against the encirclement of two Peak Golden Immortal Cultivators, making it difficult to determine a winner for a while. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Fang Hong’s gaze carefully scanned the surroundings, thinking to himself.

These two Azure Sea Sect Cultivators were not weak; logically, they wouldn’t provoke a powerful two-headed winged Dragon for no reason.

There must be some treasure hidden nearby that made them willing to expend so much effort fighting the two-headed winged Dragon.

Fang Hong continued to observe patiently. After a while, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a sight on the cliff edge of the mountain peak.

A peculiar small tree grew there. The tree wasn’t tall, only about a zhang high, with a deep black trunk that looked very sturdy, while its branches and leaves were purplish-gold.

Even stranger, three purplish-gold fruits hung from the tips of the branches, their surfaces surrounded by a faint halo.

"Purple Gold Fruit Tree."

When he clearly saw the appearance of the small tree, Fang Hong’s heart instantly filled with joy.
