The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 108: King of the Yun Teng Mushrooms (Please Recommend and Bookmark)

Wang Youli saw Ye Chenfeng’s determination and knew in his heart that this young man was set on venturing into the Primeval Forest. If it were true that he had the magical means Tie Niu had mentioned, the danger wouldn’t be too great in the forest. However... freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

After pondering for a while, Wang Youli sighed and said, "Young man, that valley is really too dangerous—there is a giant python over twenty meters long there. Last time, it was only by sheer luck that I was able to pick a few of the mushrooms you’re looking for."

A giant python over twenty meters long? Mao Kangping drew a sharp breath. He had never heard of such an enormous python! If what Wang Youli said was no fabrication, wouldn’t ordinary people going to that valley be like walking into a python’s meal? Even though Ye Chenfeng was strong, Wang Youli couldn’t help but worry. He still needed Ye Chenfeng’s assistance with his own matters! He quickly started to dissuade him, "Mr. Ye, I think you..."

Mao Kangping’s words were cut off mid-sentence by Ye Chenfeng: "I must go to the Primeval Forest; coming to Xiyuan Town was for this very reason."

He had heard about the giant python over twenty meters long the first time he met Tie Niu at the black market. But no matter the danger, Ye Chenfeng had to take the risk. The allure of the Yun Teng Mushroom was just too great. Every time he thought of the ancient martial arts expert that night, he felt a sense of crisis like never before.

"Alas! Well, young man, since you’re determined to go, I might as well draw you a rough sketch of the valley’s location!" After all, whether Wang Youli drew the map or not, Ye Chenfeng would enter the Primeval Forest. It was actually better to help Ye Chenfeng to avoid taking a lot of detours.

"Old man, thank you. Once I reach the valley, I’ll see if there’s an antidote to relieve the deadly poison in your body," Ye Chenfeng gratefully thanked him.

"Young man, I really don’t know if I’m helping you or harming you. Tie Niu, bring me some paper and a pen."

After Tie Niu got a piece of white paper, Wang Youli drew a rough sketch of the valley’s location in the Primeval Forest from memory.

Having obtained the approximate location of the valley, Ye Chenfeng was ready to set off immediately. Originally, Tie Niu wanted to accompany Ye Chenfeng into the Primeval Forest, but was rejected by Ye Chenfeng. Bringing Tie Niu would be like bringing an encumbrance, which might end up with Ye Chenfeng having to look after him in a crisis!

Mao Kangping, although reluctant to see Ye Chenfeng enter the perilous Primeval Forest, couldn’t really prevent him, could he? So he could only wait in Xiyuan Town for Ye Chenfeng’s return.

Tie Niu accompanied Ye Chenfeng to the entrance of the Primeval Forest and said, "Benefactor, are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?"

"Tie Niu, just stay at home and take good care of your dad! Perhaps by the time I come out of the Primeval Forest, I’ll be able to cure your father’s illness," Ye Chenfeng shook his head and declined Tie Niu’s kind offer.

"Mr. Ye, you must be extra careful in the Primeval Forest! I, Mao Kangping, await the day you come back safely."

Mao Kangping also said a few words of concern. Ye Chenfeng could feel the sincere care from Mao Kangping’s expression and tone. Perhaps some of it was because Mao Kangping needed his help later, but regardless, having such sincere relations was worth making an effort for Ye Chenfeng.

"Don’t worry, once I come back from the Primeval Forest, I will go with you to the border market and help you take out the trash," Ye Chenfeng replied.

"Alright, the two of you can head back now!"

Ye Chenfeng’s figure abruptly darted into the Primeval Forest; Tie Niu and Mao Kangping only reluctantly turned around and headed back to Xiyuan Town after Ye Chenfeng vanished from sight.

Upon entering the Primeval Forest, Ye Chenfeng moved like an agile monkey, leaping from one tree to another as if he had grown up in that vast forest, occasionally startling small animals that were foraging along the way.

With Wang Youli’s rough map, Ye Chenfeng still spent nearly two hours locating the valley; after all, it was difficult to discern directions in the forest. Had it been someone else, they might have taken a whole day to find this valley.

Ye Chenfeng stood at the entrance to the valley, not recklessly barging in, because he knew of the dangerous giant python inside.

At the mouth of the valley, he enhanced his Soul Force to the peak of Fourth Level, ready to engage in combat at any moment, and began to walk slowly into the valley.

Lush trees lined both sides of the valley. Without Wang Youli’s map, Ye Chenfeng might have actually missed this rather hidden spot!

Just stepping into the mouth of the valley, he was greeted by a sparse but pungent miasma; inhaling it caused a nauseating sensation, probably the noxious gas Wang Youli had mentioned.

Ye Chenfeng quickly held his breath, pressing out the miasma he had just inhaled using his Soul Force, now certain that the severe poison in Wang Youli’s body originated from this gas.

His steps were featherlight, Ye Chenfeng dared not make too much noise; if he could acquire the Yun Teng Mushroom without startling the huge python in the valley, that would be ideal.

The valley was spacious enough, and when Ye Chenfeng reached the center, a Yun Teng Mushroom standing a meter tall caught his eye, igniting an urge to shout with excitement. If this mushroom were used to concoct a potion, how many levels could his Soul Force increase in an instant? At that point, why would he worry about ancient martial experts? He’d be crushing one after another!

"The King of Yun Teng Mushrooms." Ye Chenfeng had seen such a large Yun Teng Mushroom described in journals in his previous life. This kind of mushroom was recognized as the king, with its medicinal power being a hundredfold that of a regular Yun Teng Mushroom. Where the King of Yun Teng Mushrooms grew, there were guaranteed to be other smaller ones nearby.

Sure enough, as Ye Chenfeng looked around the King of Yun Teng Mushrooms, the ground was littered with mushrooms of various sizes! To Ye Chenfeng, this was a wealth beyond what any amount of money could buy!

In his excitement, Ye Chenfeng seemed to forget the dangers lurking in the valley. He dashed toward the King of Yun Teng Mushrooms, gazing at its half black, half white surface. He reached out to touch it, feeling an irresistible affection.

"Entering the Primeval Forest this time was absolutely the right decision. With this King of Yun Teng Mushrooms, my Soul Force should at least reach the Sixth Level, right?" mused Ye Chenfeng to himself. After reaching the Sixth Level, enhancement wouldn’t just depend on medicine; beyond that point, medicinal aids became supplementary. One would need to engage in battle with formidable opponents repeatedly and undergo dangerous training that pushed physical limits to advance. This was why in his previous life, Ye Chen remained stuck at the Eighth Level for a full three years without any breakthrough.
