Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 214 - 138: Rapid Power Growth, Myriad Beasts Mountain Range!
Breakthrough seems impossible.
Because there is no concept of Divine Soul Perfection equivalent to Foundation Establishment Perfection, after all, Foundation Establishment Perfection is just akin to the Peak of Foundation Establishment Late Stage, belonging to the same realm.
In other words, the next realm beyond the Divine Soul is only the Core Formation Divine Soul.
Once a breakthrough occurs, Qi Chuan, relying on the Ninefold Soul Torture Technique, can deal certain damage to the Divine Soul of a Core Formation True Master at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, making such a breakthrough is extremely difficult and cannot be coveted in the short term; it can only happen naturally.
After examining his current state, Qi Chuan felt quite pleased.
"It’s a pity that there are not many Clear Cry Pills left, only five,"
Qi Chuan thought to himself.
The remaining two sets of spirit grass materials for Clear Cry Pills had all been refined into pills and consumed.
These five pills were refined from materials collected through a mission one year ago.
But they are only enough for about a year’s use.
Requiring another batch of Clear Cry Pills to be sufficient.
"I can only use up these five before going out again to try to collect more."
Qi Chuan thought to himself.
Then, he closed his eyes, intending to once again operate the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique.
However, at this moment, Qi Chuan sensed some unusual movement from the array outside his cave mansion.
Opening his eyes, his Divine Sense scanned outside, discovering an Inner Affairs Hall steward holding a letter approaching.
"Could it be another secret message from my master?" Qi Chuan wondered.
Then he stood up, went outside the cave mansion to retrieve the secret message from the steward, returned inside, and opened it to read.
After reading, he found it was indeed a secret message from his Sect Leader master.
The content was about the spirit grass materials for Clear Cry Pills.
It mentioned someone had provided information on the location of the key Tier Two Middle Grade spirit grass materials for Clear Cry Pills.
This person was an elder within the sect and a familiar face.
"I must go take a look."
Qi Chuan immediately decided to check it out.
Previously, the materials he received for refining a batch of Clear Cry Pills were directly provided by the mission taker, so there was no hurry.
This time, only the location information was provided, so it was necessary to pay attention to it to avoid someone else beating him to it.
Moreover, with Qi Chuan’s current cultivation and strength, there was no need to be overly cautious when going out.
Even if encountering a Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he could escape if he could not win.
Soon enough.
Qi Chuan arrived at Wind Moon Lake, on an Elder Island.
Upon hearing the news, the elder who provided the information on the Clear Cry Pills was already waiting outside the cave mansion.
Qi Chuan’s figure descended.
At this moment, he was still wearing the Inner Sect disciple attire, using an Illusion Body Talisman to disguise his appearance, with an aura like an ordinary Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
However, the graceful figure outside the cave mansion recognized him at once.
"Qi Chuan?"
The lady in plain clothes fixed her gaze on Qi Chuan’s face, with a slight smile appearing on her exquisite face.
"Elder Yun."
Qi Chuan cupped his hands and smiled as well.
There was no mistake; the one providing the information was indeed Yun Qingyue.
Yun Qingyue looked at Qi Chuan. If she hadn’t seen that face herself, she would never have realized that the person before her was a highly skilled Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator capable of instant slashing Qi Shang.
Subsequently, Yun Qingyue revealed the specific information.
"The Clear Wind Moon Grass is in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, guarded by a Tier Two Middle Grade demon beast, the Three-Colored Profound Python. Would you like me to lead the way?"
"The Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, isn’t that close to the Valley of Myriad Beasts?" Qi Chuan asked.
Yun Qingyue nodded and said, "Yes, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range extends vastly, with countless demon beasts and abundant resources. The Valley of Myriad Beasts is located within, and it’s implicitly treated as part of their sect domain, but this mountain range is also near our sect domain, so our sect members can still go there for training."
"If that’s the case, please have Elder Yun guide me, and I’ll count the additional reward later." Qi Chuan said without hesitation.
Even though the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range is largely part of the Valley of Myriad Beasts’ sect domain, for the Clear Cry Pills, it’s worth going there.
"No extra reward is necessary," Yun Qingyue waved her hand.
When it comes to others, maybe, but with Qi Chuan, she thought they were quite familiar with each other.
Moreover, three years ago, at the battle of Luoxia Stream, Qi Chuan had saved her.
So just leading the way doesn’t warrant any reward.
In her view, with Qi Chuan present, taking care of the Three-Colored Profound Python guarding the Clear Wind Moon Grass should be easy.
Nothing should go wrong.
Having made the decision, the two immediately set out, leaving the Wind Moon Sect.
Wind Moon Sect’s southern border, Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
This mountain range winds along the border between the Wind Moon Sect and Valley of Myriad Beasts’ sect domain, with many branches, diverse peaks, valleys, rivers, and a very complex terrain.
However, most of it lies within the Valley of Myriad Beasts’ sect domain, with the Wind Moon Sect having only a small portion.
Qi Chuan and Yun Qingyue arrived at the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, pausing to gaze for a few breaths before delving deeper.
In the mountain range, there were many demon beasts, but the two did not reveal their presence, encountering little combat, and what could not be avoided, they boldly resolved.
After some time, they finally penetrated over a thousand miles into the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
In some ways, this already counted as the Valley of Myriad Beasts’ sect domain.
"We’re almost there, just in a sandy area ahead," Yun Qingyue said softly.
Qi Chuan nodded.
He did not doubt her words; with the complex topography of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, a sandy area was not surprising.
Soon, the two deployed the Floating Technique, flying out of a tall forest, crossing a broad river, and reaching a sand-like desert area on the opposite bank.
Although on opposite banks of the river, one side was dense forest while the other appeared like a desert, looking extremely peculiar.
On the sandy ground, it was very dry, with sparse vegetation. Some areas were filled with rubble, resembling a Gobi desert, where numerous towering rock stacks stood like a rocky forest.
Even so, many demon beasts were lurking beneath the sandy surface.
The two cautiously ventured into the sandy terrain, entering the rock stacks, and after traveling in one direction for a while, they finally arrived at their destination.
"There is where the Clear Wind Moon Grass is located,"
Hiding behind a towering rock, Yun Qingyue pointed softly in the distance.
Qi Chuan also stood behind the rock, gazing forward.
There, some towering rocks had already shattered into a pile, faintly forming a low, stone nest.
And in that stone nest, a twenty-foot-long Three-Colored Giant Python lay coiled, asleep, its forked tongue occasionally flickering, as the wind blew past, carrying a hint of stench.
The powerful pressure emanating from it confirmed that it was undoubtedly a Tier Two Middle Grade demon beast.
Furthermore, this Tier Two Middle Grade demon beast belonged to one of the stronger types.
And on the right side of the Three-Colored Giant Python, a small patch of broken stones was home to a three-inch, crystalline, and vibrant green blade of grass, dew adorning its leaves, reflecting sunlight.
This scene was extremely bizarre.
In this desert Gobi-like sandy area, there existed such a thriving little plant.
But given that it was a Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Grass, it wasn’t surprising.
"We must find a way to lure out and kill that Three-Colored Profound Python; otherwise, if we fight here, we might damage that Clear Wind Moon Grass," Qi Chuan said.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyue nodded and said, "Leave that to me."
Then, she took out a Jade Box from her Qiankun Bag at her waist.
Originally, when she discovered the Clear Wind Moon Grass, she had considered harvesting it, so she had studied the Three-Colored Profound Python and devised a plan.
Her initial plan was to lure the Three-Colored Profound Python away and then seize the Clear Wind Moon Grass.
But with Qi Chuan here now, the situation was different.
They could directly lure it away and kill it, taking both the snake gall and spirit grass together.
Whoosh!
However, just as she was about to explain the contents of her Jade Box to Qi Chuan, a very slight whooshing sound came from another direction in the Chaotic Stone Forest, towards the Valley of Myriad Beasts.
"Hmm? Someone beat us to it?"
At the same time, a slightly hostile gaze fell upon Qi Chuan and Yun Qingyue.
