98: No need to steal, someone will honor you!

This was a desolate plain, with the vast land covered in an earthy yellow hue.

Occasionally, a few patches of green would dot the landscape, releasing a touch of vitality and life.

On this plain, small Demonic Beasts would sometimes dart out, kicking up a wisp of yellow smoke before disappearing into the distance.

The silence of the desolate plain lasted for a while, then the void space suddenly rippled.

Immediately after, two figures, one tall and one short, flashed out from within the space.

These two figures emerging from space were naturally Gu Fei and Zi Yan.

“So this is the Pill World…”

Gu Fei floated in mid-air, his gaze sweeping around, just able to discern the outlines of some mountain ranges at the edge of the plain.

He noticed that the energy here was much denser than outside, but it was also filled with a wild, violent factor, making it unsuitable for human absorption.

Beside Gu Fei, Zi Yan was observing her surroundings with a curious gaze.

“Zi Yan, it’s all up to you now!” Gu Fei gave Zi Yan a wink.

“Alright!”

Zi Yan smiled, then closed her eyes and began to sense. Her ability to sense Heaven And Earth Treasures far surpassed that of ordinary people.

This was the most important reason Gu Fei wanted to bring her to the Pill World for treasure hunting.

“I’ve sensed six locations; the Spirit Medicine in those places should be quite good!”

A moment later, Zi Yan opened her eyes and pointed out several specific places to Gu Fei.

With Gu Fei’s current speed, traversing the entire Pill World wouldn’t take long, so finding the six nearby locations was naturally not a problem.

An hour later, Gu Fei brought Zi Yan to the sixth location she had previously sensed that might contain Heaven And Earth Treasure.

“Strange, I can’t even see a single green leaf here. Is it growing underground?”

Upon arriving, Zi Yan, with some confusion, slowly flew closer to the ground.

“Be careful!”

Gu Fei sensed something unusual as soon as he arrived and quickly warned Zi Yan.

Just then, from the seemingly sandy ground, a giant python, tens of feet long, shot out like lightning, its ferocious, bloody maw snapping directly at Zi Yan’s head.

“Seeking death!”

Seeing this, Gu Fei clenched his hand towards the massive python, and its head exploded as if subjected to immense pressure, then its entire body dropped to the ground.

“Damn it, you ugly, legless creature, you actually tried to bite me!”

Zi Yan angrily kicked the python’s remaining headless body.

Her strength was immense; a light kick sent the massive python’s body flying.

As Zi Yan uttered those words, Gu Fei, on his side, suddenly felt some unusual movements from the seven-colored small snake in his sleeve.

“It seems Zi Yan’s words have inadvertently offended Queen Medusa!”

Gu Fei suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth and said nothing.

As the python’s body was flung away, a sunken pit immediately appeared beneath the sand dune.

Inside the pit was a deep yellow root, about the size of a child’s head.

“It was indeed hidden underground!”

“This thing… it seems to be Earth Yellow Essence, and its age should be quite old…”

Putting away the head-sized deep yellow root-like object, Zi Yan mumbled.

Although she hadn’t seriously studied medicinal knowledge, having eaten so many medicinal ingredients, she recognized some, more or less.

“Zi Yan, step aside first!”

Gu Fei gestured for Zi Yan to move away from the spot.

While the Millennial Earth Yellow Essence was precious, it wasn’t enough to truly interest Gu Fei; what he was truly interested in was something deeper.

Earth Yellow Essence is formed by the condensation of stable, profound, pure earth power, but this statement also has its limitations.

If any Earth Yellow Essence grows for over a hundred years, it will cease to increase in size due to energy saturation. It is precisely for this reason that Earth Yellow Essence over a hundred years old appears so rare.

According to ancient records, if Earth Yellow Essence can far exceed a hundred years, then what nourishes its growth will certainly not be earth power, but other Heaven And Earth Treasures!

Therefore, this Millennial Earth Yellow Essence must have an exotic treasure beneath it.

“It should be correct!”

After Zi Yan moved away, Gu Fei’s palm suddenly aimed at the pit, and a massive suction force emerged, continuously drawing out the soil.

Soon, a deep hole several tens of meters deep was excavated from the ground below, and a snow-white jade stone gradually appeared.

“What is this thing?”

Looking at the snow-white jade stone that Gu Fei had drawn out from underground, Zi Yan’s eyes lit up, and she quickly leaned in to ask.

“This thing isn’t for eating!”

Gu Fei lightly reprimanded Zi Yan.

The item he held was Earth Core Jade Mother, a miraculous jade stone formed by the condensation of earth power over countless years.

During Cultivation or Alchemy, having a cushion made of Earth Core Jade Mother would have an extremely beneficial suppressive effect on the violent energy within the body, making it less likely to suffer Qi Deviation.

“It’s quite substantial…”

Gu Fei’s gaze measured the jade stone; it was about half a zhang tall and one arm’s length wide.

Earth Core Jade Mother of this size is almost impossible to find in the outside world.

The next moment, Gu Fei’s attention focused on the viscous liquid seeping from the edge of the jade stone.

“Big Brother Gu Fei, what are these liquids? Can they be eaten?”

Zi Yan also noticed them, and in her opinion, this flowing, crystal-clear, viscous liquid must be very delicious.

“If you want to eat Spirit Medicine, I’ll let you eat your fill later. Do you see that mountain range over there? It has countless Spirit Medicine inside, and most of it has even been collected and stored by an eighth-rank Demonic Beast, so you don’t even have to bother looking for it…”

“Really?”

Gu Fei helplessly pointed to the majestic mountain range in the distance. At the same time, a fire blade condensed from an exotic flame appeared in his hand.

The fire blade lightly sliced across the surface of the Earth Core Jade Mother, and a jade slice about the thickness of a thumb detached, revealing a walnut-sized hole within.

Inside the hole, wisps of pale white mist subtly seeped out. Gu Fei took a deep breath, and immediately felt a silent, comfortable groan resonate deep within his Soul.

Chirp! Chirp!

Next, Gu Fei’s hand transformed into a fire knife, moving rapidly like lightning, cutting the jade slices.

When about half of the Earth Core Jade Mother had been cut away, a jade pit roughly the size of a head finally appeared in Gu Fei’s line of sight.

And his gaze, at this moment, instantly solidified on the less than half-finger deep white liquid within the jade pit.

“It really is Earth Core Soul Marrow!”

Looking at the viscous white liquid, Gu Fei’s face showed a hint of a smile; after all this busy work for half a day, he had finally found it.

Earth Core Soul Marrow is an extremely rare Heaven And Earth Treasure because it can temper the Soul!

Even for Gu Fei’s Spirit Realm Soul, it could have a very good Soul tempering effect.

“Big Brother Gu Fei, when are we going to steal that eighth-rank Demonic Beast’s Spirit Medicine vault?”

Zi Yan’s attention was entirely focused on Gu Fei’s previous words, as the opponent was an eighth-rank Demonic Beast, and she dared not go alone.

“Don’t worry, this time we don’t need to sneak around. When we get there, that eighth-rank Demonic Beast will respectfully offer it to you of its own accord!”
