Chapter: 880 (2/2)
The demonic beast that was covered in this powder would instantly become frenzied, flee, or even become unable to get up. He had only just realized that this was the ‘Bone Powder’ that could occasionally be obtained from refining demons. Not only that, it had to be a high-leveled demonic beasts and only their bones were refined. It was a very precious item.
This was also the reason why Qing Shui had never obtained the ‘Bone Powder’. It was the essence that could be found in the bones of powerful demonic beasts. The violent power in these bones could cause madness to the lower level beasts and it could only work on beasts with a lower rank.
Although Qing Shui was very remarkable in refining demons, he had very little knowledge on the matter. His meeting with Mu Qing had allowed him to learn a lot from her. He would ask her some questions from time to time and Mu Qing would always provide him with a detailed explanation.
It was the same situation regarding the ‘Bone Powder’, if he hadn’t met Mu Qing, it would probably take him forever to find out about it.
Other than that, the Fire Bird had performed powerfully in battle. Those raging flames of the Hell’s Inferno made Qing Shui feel extremely pleasant. Even though it attained the might of of 12 stars under the effect of the Spirit Gathering Lamp, the Hell’s Inferno’s terrifying battle strength had already exceeded 12 stars.
Everyone, including Mu Qing, watched the Fire Bird with admiration. Its performance was very powerful and very incisive. It was able to kill instantly and slaughter at an astonishing speed.
……..
Before Qing Shui’s eyes stood a mighty mountain; majestically tall and straight. It was way taller than the surrounding mountains. In addition, it was fully covered in forests that were mostly made up of ancient towering trees.
Qing Shui felt that the Spiritual Qi on this mountain was much more abundant than anywhere else. There was a saying that ‘The higher the mountain, the more abundant the Spiritual Qi. The deeper the water, the more abundant the Spiritual Qi was.’ Hence, he decided to roam around the mountain to search for treasures. It would be great if he could find the Sky Penetrating Grass that he needed. If he did manage to find it, he could leave this depressing place immediately. Otherwise, he planned on parting ways with Mu Qing and the rest on this mountain.
From time to time, Mu Qing would survey the surroundings and Qing Shui would expand his spiritual sense. Although ‘Lightning Bee’ had a good vision, its vision was slightly weaker when looking at longer distances. If enemies were hidden, they might go undetected. Lightning Bee was only as good as a pair of eyes, it could still be fooled by hidden opponents.
In comparison, spiritual sense was generally stronger than its vision as it detects consciousness. But of course, that didn’t mean spiritual sense would definitely be able to detect everything. The strong could hide from it. But for those weaker in strength, it was basically hopeless to hide from it even if they tried to physically conceal themselves.
Of course, if one had a mysterious cultivation, perhaps they might be able to avoid being detected by some else’s spiritual sense. But there was a limit to it, the disparity between the individual’s strengths could not be too great. Moreover, there was always an exception to everything, and nothing was definite.
The Treasure Hunting Pig traveled back and forth around the compound, squeaking occasionally. It didn’t sound like a pig at all.
The bright sun was up, yet the surrounding was very quiet. The silence was somewhat disturbing. Every now and then, the beasts would roar. Their roars echoed through the sky like the sound of muffled thunder.
This made everyone stressed and tense. It was so deep in the mountains, even a warrior would be terrified.
Within the deepest part of the mountains was the terrifying Sky Penetrating Mountains. The surroundings were covered with ancient forest. It was incomparable to the old forests found in the deep mountains in his previous world. The old forests in his previous world were already indescribably terrifying, let alone the forests here.
The skillful ones were indeed brave!
Rather, it was because of their cultivation. Only cultivation could make a person daring and fearless. This was true for Qing Shui too, as he still had many more demonic beasts, as well as magical treasures and powerful techniques in his possession. These were the things that gave Qing Shui the mettle to travel deeper into the mountains alone to search for the Sky Penetrating Grass.
There were a lot of natural treasures in this mountain. The Treasure Hunting Pig’s occasional squeaks brought joy to the group, staving their nervousness.
Humans die in pursuit of wealth, birds die in pursuit of food!
Ironically, this was a very normal sense of worth. Every person, more or less, had the same mindset. Humans actually have the spirits to take risks. It was precisely due to uncertainty that humans would take risks out of desperation.
They had come across quite a number of beasts as they were slowly approaching the top of the mountain. However, they were not in a flock. These beasts were quite powerful but unfortunately for them, they could only flee when they came face to face with Qing Shui’s group.
Squeak Squeak…..
Once again, the familiar sound of the Treasure Hunting Pig rang out, which made everyone gather around. Everyone, including Qing Shui, were stunned when they saw the treasure that came into their view. It was the Sky Penetrating Grass.
Furthermore, there were ten of them…..
It was a shame that they were a little too small. According to Qing Shui’s knowledge of medicinal herbs, they were only approximately three hundred to five hundred years old. This made Qing Shui’s heart sank. If it required another 3,000 years, that would mean he’d still had to wait another 11 to 12 years even with the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal’s passage of time.
Although he was very disappointed, Qing Shui still approached them and moved the whole patch of land. Under everyone’s surprised gaze, he put the patch of land into the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal.
Up until now, Qing Shui’s interspatial item was still a mystery to them. It was known that no living creature, including plants, could be stashed into the Interspatial Silk Sachet.
Everyone actually knew that what Qing Shui owned was not an Interspatial Silk Sachet, as interspatial items would not be able to contain living beings. Therefore, even if Qing Shui had only temporarily put it in there for the time being, it was evident that his interspatial item was extremely powerful.
