"Senior, are you really confident?"

Following behind Old Monster Ding, Ye Luo finally couldn’t help but ask.

After all, Old Monster Ding’s answer was too straightforward, which made Ye Luo somewhat uneasy.

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Ding turned around, "Kid, I know that in inheriting the Space-time Law, I owe you a debt, and this time, what I intend to do is to compensate you. Trust me!"

For some reason, Ye Luo actually sensed a hint of determination in his expression.

He had originally wanted to ask more questions, but the two had already arrived in front of the energy shield. In front of the energy shield, there was a warning line; generally speaking, guards are not allowed to cross the line. Once crossed, the energy shield will instinctively attack, and at the same time, it will alert the Law Enforcers.

Ye Luo looked at Old Monster Ding, and the latter immediately understood.

Suddenly, the aura on his body slowly changed, the rich aura of Space-time Law enveloped him.

Of course, his physical body was still that of a normal person, but when Ye Luo looked at him, horror surfaced in his eyes.

The Space-time Law emanating from him was incredibly terrifying. Ye Luo’s previous estimates of the elder’s strength were completely wrong!

Perhaps now, Old Monster Ding’s strength completely crushed Yujizi and the elder guarding the Transmission Array.

Before Ye Luo could think further, Old Monster Ding actually walked directly towards the energy shield.

Seeing this scene, Ye Luo nearly cried out in shock. What is Old Monster Ding doing? He’s being too reckless. Doesn’t he realize that as soon as a cultivator approaches the energy shield, the Law Enforcers will immediately detect it?

"Ye Luo, follow me! Quick!"

Up ahead, Old Monster Ding shouted urgently. Ye Luo hesitated briefly, before gritting his teeth and following.

Although Old Monster Ding was eccentric, he was very cautious in his actions.

At this moment, Ye Luo’s best option was to trust him unconditionally.

Quickly, Old Monster Ding crossed the warning line. Immediately, the energy shield in front of them, which was previously calm, surged into turbulence.

It transformed into waves of terrifying power, sweeping towards the two.

Oh no!

Ye Luo’s eyes widened in shock, never expecting the energy shield’s attack to be so fierce.

However, Old Monster Ding, who was walking ahead, didn’t even glance aside, yet the Space-time Law from his body spread out, forming a light screen that enveloped them.

Instantly, the previously unparalleled attack gradually calmed down.

Eventually, it turned back to its previous tranquil state.

It seemed as if nothing had happened at all!

However, the two were in the light screen, step by step heading towards the Gold Silk Forest.

Soon, they entered the energy shield.

This energy shield was not just a layer of membrane but a region. Passing through this area would take at least the time of one incense stick.

From time to time, Ye Luo looked up at the pitch-black night sky, knowing that the warning line had already served its purpose. It would be hard to ensure that the Law Enforcers wouldn’t detect the anomaly here.

In another space, everything was pervaded by a gray mist.

An elder sat cross-legged, and suddenly, he opened his eyes, which immediately lit up like lanterns, casting a reddish glow that illuminated the entire space.

"How could there be unease? Could there be pests?" He immediately frowned, "Enough, there probably won’t be any accidents. I’m at a critical moment of cultivation; I’ll check it after some more days!"

So, he closed his eyes again.

After a while, Ye Luo and Old Monster Ding finally passed through the energy shield, though the light screen above them had become significantly more illusory.

Old Monster Ding’s body was more hunched, and Ye Luo noticed that since entering the energy shield, he had continuously consumed three elixirs. Ye Luo recognized these elixirs as ones that enhance potential, though they have significant side effects on the body.

Clearly, he was risking his life!

At this point, Ye Luo’s impression of Old Monster Ding improved considerably. Even if Ye Luo succeeded this time, Old Monster Ding’s lifespan would probably be very limited.

"Kid, don’t just stand there, we don’t have much time. Despite passing through the energy shield, the Gold Silk Forest is not safe; you’d better hurry up!" Old Monster Ding said, frowning.

Ye Luo naturally understood this point, looked around, and took out the simple extraction device that the base had given him earlier.

This device was not large, just a bit taller than a person. Once placed in front of the Gold Silk Wood, it could work automatically.

This saved Ye Luo a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if he had to manually extract the essence, it would be inefficient and impossible to remain vigilant.

However, this place was not suitable for spreading out Divine Sense, as the Gold Silk Forest here was entirely different from the outside world!

According to Old Monster Ding’s earlier words, this place was not peaceful!

There weren’t those rampant laws, but Death Qi still existed, and there was an added hint of uncanny energy!

Originally, a cultivator with a steady mind who practiced the power of laws had a deep understanding of the essence of things, and their adaptability to the environment should be greatly enhanced.

Yet Ye Luo, while here, always felt a sense of dread.

He even had a feeling that there might be living beings within the Gold Silk Forest!

The living beings he imagined were certainly not like Spirit Beasts. Furthermore, he already knew that there were no Spirit Beasts here, as Yujizi had previously informed him.

Tap tap!

The extraction device ahead emitted faint tapping sounds. Of course, these sounds naturally wouldn’t travel outside, let alone with the energy shield isolating sound.

Moreover, the extraction device was indeed quite efficient, able to extract one Gold Silk Wood in just a few seconds. The downside was that the base had only provided one such device, which Ye Luo understood wasn’t due to stinginess but perhaps because there was only this one unit, given that the base was struggling to carry on.

Even so, the extraction device’s efficiency was ten times faster than manual extraction, also conserving another point: the device strictly controlled the extraction amount. This essence was the fundamental essence of Gold Silk Wood. If extracted too much, the Gold Silk Wood would immediately wither, while extracting too little would not be cost-effective. Therefore, the base had already set a standard quantity!

Not a lot of time had passed.

Soon, a full vial of essence entered into Ye Luo’s Qiankun Ring.

In normal times, he would be very delighted, as this vial of essence was quite substantial.

This was refined from over a hundred Gold Silk Woods, but relative to the base’s requirement, it’s nothing but a drop in the ocean!
