Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 447: Treasure Hunt
Although these Demon Beasts varied in form and strength, they shared a common characteristic: after being killed, each would leave behind a bead containing pure Immortal Qi, and the quality of every bead was quite good.
This kind of harvest made Fang Hong and his two companions overjoyed.
Initially, they had to be constantly wary of Demon Beast attacks, but later, they wished to encounter more Demon Beasts, eager to wipe out all the Demon Beasts in the entire desert.
The three advanced triumphantly, slaying Demon Beasts and collecting beads, their harvest growing richer and richer.
However, just as Fang Hong and his two companions were returning laden with treasures from the desert, entirely different scenes were unfolding in other corners of the desert.
Fierce battles were constantly erupting.
Those stronger Immortal King-level Cultivators, relying on their cultivation and Dao Artifacts, could barely withstand the attacks of these Demon Beasts.
Although they fought with great difficulty, they at least had the strength to fight, not being instantly devoured by the Demon Beasts.
But those Grand Unity Cultivators with lower cultivation were not so lucky.
When they encountered these fierce Demon Beasts, they often had no time to react before being surrounded by them.
disciples from Dao Lineages were better off, most of them carrying space-breaking talismans bestowed by their Elders.
The moment they sensed danger, they all unhesitatingly activated their space-breaking talismans, quickly fleeing this relic, not daring to linger for a moment.
As for the Grand Unity Loose Cultivators who had no space-breaking talismans to save their lives, they could only fall into despair.
They lacked strength and means of escape, facing the overwhelming Demon Beasts, they could only resist desperately.
But the disparity in strength between the two sides was too vast, and most of them were ultimately refined alive by the Demon Beasts, leaving no trace behind.
Treasure grounds and dangerous places have always been relative.
This desert, for top Immortal Kings like Fang Hong and his two companions, was a blessed land for rapidly accumulating resources.
But for those Cultivators with insufficient strength, it was a Hell fraught with crises.
Only true powerhouses could find their opportunity in this cruel desert.
Due to their Divine Sense being suppressed, Fang Hong and his two companions were unaware of the plights of other Cultivators in the desert and continued to advance towards the desert’s depths.
They hoped to encounter more Demon Beasts and harvest more Immortal Beads.
Two days later, above the desert, the scorching sun still hung high in the sky, baking the boundless yellow sands.
Fang Hong and his two companions walked side by side, and as far as the eye could see, there were still endless dunes.
Along the way, Fang Hong and his two companions did encounter many Demon Beasts entrenched in the desert.
Each time a Demon Beast was slain, an Immortal Qi Demonic Bead was obtained.
Although the Immortal Qi contained in these Demonic Beads was not as potent as a true first-grade Dao Pill, they were plentiful, and accumulating them would be enough to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Fang Hong and his two companions were still on their journey, and after crossing a towering giant dune, a completely different scene suddenly appeared before their eyes.
It was a large, vibrant oasis, appearing exceptionally striking against the backdrop of the vast yellow sand.
Looking from afar, the interior of the oasis was lush and green, with many tall ancient trees, their branches and leaves luxuriant.
In the depths of the oasis, several mountains were scattered in an orderly fashion, with faint mists lingering among them, adding a touch of mystery to this oasis.
"Let’s go, let’s explore that oasis; perhaps we can find some immortal herbs."
A hint of anticipation flashed in Fang Hong’s eyes as he turned to the two beside him and said.
The sudden appearance of such a large oasis in this barren desert must have gathered a lot of Heaven And Earth Immortal Qi, and some immortal herbs like to grow in such places.
Qing Ying and Su Shan, hearing this, also showed looks of anticipation and nodded in agreement.
Fang Hong and his two companions moved swiftly, rushing towards the oasis.
Before long, the three entered the confines of the oasis.
Upon entering the oasis, a rich and fresh Immortal Qi rushed towards them, forming a stark contrast with the dry and scorching air of the desert.
Fang Hong directly took out his immortal settling disk; if there were immortal herbs nearby, the pointer on the disk would accurately point to its location.
Fang Hong, holding the immortal settling disk, quickly walked towards the depths of the oasis, while Qing Ying and Su Shan followed closely, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
However, as they walked along, the pointer of the immortal settling disk never showed any unusual movement.
Aside from the dense forest, they found no traces of rare immortal herbs, nor did they encounter any Demon Beast attacks; the entire oasis was unusually quiet.
Unbeknownst to them, the three had already reached the center of the oasis.
It was surrounded by three uniquely shaped small mountains; the mountains were not majestic but exuded an ancient and profound aura.
Around the small mountains were towering ancient trees, which had clearly grown for a long time.
And in the very center, surrounded by the three small mountains and ancient trees, a small puddle, only half a foot wide, suddenly appeared.
Though small, this puddle was filled with crystal-clear green liquid, which glowed faintly under the soft light filtering through the trees.
A vast and pure aura of life continuously emanated from the puddle, making the Immortal Qi within Fang Hong and his two companions even more active!
Fang Hong and his two companions quickly approached the puddle, and when they clearly saw the green liquid and felt that life aura, their faces simultaneously lit up with joy.
They exclaimed almost in unison.
"This is the Spring of Life."
"There’s no mistake, it truly is the Spring of Life."
"Ancient texts record that the Spring of Life is condensed from the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon, taking countless ages to form. Its color and aura are exactly like this liquid before us." Qing Ying said excitedly.
The Spring of Life is an extremely rare top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure in the world.
Its effects are quite similar to the life fruit tree that Fang Hong once obtained, but in terms of purity and miraculous effects, it is considerably more powerful than the life fruit tree.
If one can refine the Spring of Life, it not only allows one to condense special meridians containing the Law of Life within the body, making the body’s Immortal Qi three times more abundant.
It can also instantly restore depleted Immortal Qi, and no matter how severe the injury, it can heal quickly in a short time.
It can even cure most of the strange poisons in the world, truly an all-purpose Immortal Treasure.
"I thought this oasis had no real treasures." Fang Hong’s face showed a satisfied smile.
Fang Hong and his two companions began to divide this precious Spring of Life.
Immediately after, the three each consumed a drop of the Spring of Life.
The divine spring melted upon entering the mouth, instantly transforming into a vast and boundless essence of life, surging down the throat into the body, flowing through all limbs and bones.
In just an instant, the Immortal Qi consumed by the three during their journey and slaying of Demon Beasts in the desert was instantly replenished.
It was even more abundant than at their peak, and a warm, comfortable sensation permeated their entire bodies.
"As expected of the Spring of Life, its effect is much stronger than healing Dao Pills." Qing Ying exclaimed in surprise, feeling the surging Immortal Qi within her body.
Fang Hong contentedly put away the jade bottle.
