643: Excitement, out of the valley

Ji Wuchang's breathing couldn't help but grow heavy; he hadn't expected that he would actually be able to see such a precious medicinal herb.

Just then, a tri-colored lotus appeared in his mind, and atop this lotus, there were actually three tiny insects crouching.

However, these insects were no ordinary ones; they had horns on their heads and were surrounded by a unique aura.

These were no insects; they were Dragons, and this lotus was precisely the Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus.

The formation of a Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus required not only an extreme concentration of spiritual power but also the absorption of Dragon Qi from a Dragon's body since its inception.

Because of this, the formation of a Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus was extremely rare; otherwise, it wouldn't have become one of the three rare Materials for a Supreme's resurrection.

Ji Wuchang's breathing couldn't help but grow heavy, but before he could take a closer look, the scene in his mind changed again.

A massive, Human-Shaped Ginseng appeared in his mind.

This ginseng could not only automatically transform into a human form but also fly through the sky and tunnel through the earth. Its speed was like lightning; it had completely become a spirit.

Ji Wuchang's eyes brightened; this was definitely something good.

Subsequently, various other rare medicinal herbs appeared in his mind, totaling over a dozen kinds, each of which was rarely seen in the outside world.

Just as these images disappeared, another map appeared within Ji Wuchang's Sea of Consciousness.

Within this map, a massive palace appeared.

Ji Wuchang understood. If the map in the Silver Bead was meant to guide everyone into the depths of the Secret Realm...

...then the golden bead was a detailed supplement to the map of the Secret Realm's depths.

At the same time, the golden Token was very likely the key to entering the palace!

With a flash of his body, he arrived at the valley side, no longer slaughtering Vicious Beasts.

To him, this matter no longer held any meaning; he had already obtained what he wanted.

He was very excited. There were three medicinal herbs he valued most this time: the first was the Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus, followed by the Nine-Colored Immortal Plant and that Human-Shaped Ginseng.

If possible, after obtaining the Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus, he would find a way to compete for those other two medicinal herbs as well.

If he could get his hands on the Nine-Colored Immortal Plant, his root bone would undergo a transformation, potentially reaching the Top-Grade Heaven Rank.

His current root bone was already quite good, but if he wanted to reach higher heights in the future, transforming it into a Top-Grade one was something he had to do.

The path upward was narrow. To climb higher, one had to value every change and improve oneself to the greatest extent possible.

Ji Wuchang calmly watched the crowd engaged in the slaughter.

Without him, the pressure on everyone suddenly increased.

After Nian Yuandie obtained the Silver Bead, her motivation also decreased.

Ji Wuchang saw another group of Vicious Beasts appearing in the distance and couldn't help but frown slightly.

If he guessed correctly, these Vicious Beasts were simply inexhaustible.

Once they finished killing them here, the Vicious Beasts would likely reappear somewhere else.

Not only did he see that group of Vicious Beasts, but others did as well. Everyone retreated one after another, their eyes filled with unease.

"Everyone, I am about to cross the canyon. Is anyone willing to come along?"

Ji Wuchang didn't want to stay any longer; it was pointless.

Once they passed this valley, they would officially enter the Secret Realm, where challenges and rewards would coexist.

Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, many people couldn't help but hesitate.

"Senior, can you really escort us through the minefield?"

A person at the sixth level of the Dao Severing Realm spoke to Ji Wuchang!

His question voiced the thoughts of everyone. Many people looked at Ji Wuchang, their eyes lighting up.

"Naturally. I have always been honest in my dealings and would never ruin my own reputation."

"This lightning might be fatal to you, but to me, it is just daily cultivation."

"Of course, I am only responsible for escorting you through the minefield and resisting the lightning. You must handle any other dangers in the valley yourselves."

"At the same time, each person needs to pay five hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. After crossing the minefield, I will give everyone a map of the Secret Realm!"

Ji Wuchang spoke with a smile.

As soon as he said this, Zhao Fei, Nian Yuandie, and the others couldn't help but wear bitter smiles.

They had wasted those hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones earlier!

"Senior, I am willing to go with you. Here are five hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Just as Ji Wuchang finished speaking, someone immediately spoke up. This person was one of those who had entered the canyon on their own earlier.

They had been forced out by the violent lightning and understood its terrifying nature best.

Without help, even if they exhausted all their Magic Treasures, they wouldn't be able to cross this canyon covered by the minefield!

"I'm willing too!"

Someone immediately echoed and then threw a Storage Ring.

Ji Wuchang beamingly caught the flying Storage Ring, but unfortunately, his expression was hidden, and no one could see it.

Seeing that many people were still hesitating, Ji Wuchang took flight and appeared above the canyon.

As soon as he appeared, thunderclouds rolled in the sky, and bolts of lightning descended, striking him directly.

In front of the canyon, everyone's gaze was fixed on Ji Wuchang.

Seeing countless bolts of lightning strike him without him being harmed at all, their eyes filled with awe and respect.

Many who were still wavering finally believed that this Senior could truly help them resist the power of lightning.

More people signed up, handing over Spirit Stones one after another. Even the unwilling Nian Yuandie steeled herself and paid the Spirit Stones; she didn't have the confidence to cross on her own either.

"Roar..."

Just then, roars sounded from behind. The Vicious Beasts, more than half of which had been killed, had somehow gathered by the hundreds again.

At this moment, those who hadn't made up their minds no longer hesitated.

A moment later, all twenty-seven people had handed over their Spirit Stones.

Ji Wuchang was overjoyed. He would have had to endure the lightning even if he went alone, but now, he had earned over ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Excellent!

Sensing the riot of Vicious Beasts behind them, they didn't linger and flew into the valley one after another!

Violent lightning power descended from the sky, continuously striking Ji Wuchang.

Everyone moved forward rapidly, their hearts filled with shock as they looked at the figure above them, almost completely swallowed by lightning.

Even someone at the ninth level of the Dao Severing Realm might not necessarily be able to withstand this.

Ji Wuchang was currently experiencing both pain and pleasure. The violent lightning power surged madly into his body, and he channeled all of it into his Purple Mansion.

The Thunder Dragon swallowed it greedily, its body slowly growing larger.

Some of the lightning entered his Sea of Consciousness and was immediately swallowed by the divine soul dao platform, causing no impact on his Divine Soul.

Simultaneously, he continuously circulated the Purple Qi Burning Heaven Art, refining the remaining lightning power and transforming lightning into fire.

Almost every part of his body was in excruciating pain, but he could only grit his teeth and endure.

Fortunately, the valley wasn't too long, only a few dozen miles, and there were no other dangers within it; otherwise, it would have been troublesome!
