229: Ghost Cave, Ghost Grass

Just as the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket glowed, the Golden Flames that were rapidly approaching seemed to have met their natural enemy, and all of them were collected into the flower basket.

This astonishing scene left the Little Lizard dumbfounded.

It had never imagined that its Golden Flames would be taken away in such a manner.

“Beautiful!”

“As expected of an ancient treasure!”

Mu Feng, on the other hand, was very excited.

The power of this flower basket was even beyond his imagination.

He had witnessed the power of the Golden Flames.

They could burn almost anything.

Unexpectedly, they were effortlessly collected by the ancient treasure flower basket.

The key point was that Mu Feng didn't feel like he had consumed much Magical Power.

Although the Qingguang Mirror could also restrain Spells before, it would consume a large amount of Magical Power.

If the Magical Power was too strong, it could even drain all of the caster's Magical Power in an instant.

However, this Treasure Dropping Flower Basket had no such side effects.

It only consumed some Spiritual Qi when used.

Mu Feng introspected.

He found that the Spiritual Qi consumed was similar to using an excellent Magical Artifact once.

With his current total Magical Power, he could easily use it hundreds of times without any problem.

This was why ancient treasures were sought after by everyone.

The power of a Magic Treasure, the consumption of a Magical Artifact.

Who wouldn't love that?

After trying it once, Mu Feng wanted to try again.

However, the Little Lizard refused to make another move.

Its Golden Flames were not inexhaustible.

Each use required a slow recovery.

This was similar to Mu Feng's Magical Power.

However, it didn't have Magical Power.

The Golden Flames were stored by the crimson fire golden lotus within its body.

“Alright.”

Although he still felt a bit unsatisfied, the Little Lizard was unwilling, so Mu Feng didn't force it.

After a simple tidying up, Mu Feng intended to put the flower basket into his Storage Ring.

However, he found that he couldn't put it in.

“Is it because the flower basket has its own space inside?”

“Or is it that ancient treasures cannot be put into Storage Rings?”

Mu Feng was a bit confused.

If he had to carry it all the time, it wouldn't be very convenient.

“I wonder if it can be put into the Dantian.”

“Let's try.”

With a thought from Mu Feng, the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket in his hand shrunk into a miniature version.

“It still doesn’t seem to work, but it’s much more convenient to carry after shrinking.”

Mu Feng tried it and found that the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket also couldn't be put into his body.

However, it could be shrunk.

The flower basket, which was originally the size of a waist, became the size of a Storage Pouch after shrinking.

Hanging it on his waist wouldn't affect his movements.

After a few simple movements and confirming that there was indeed no impact, Mu Feng left with peace of mind.

“Hmm, let’s dim the treasure light too.”

The treasure light emanating from the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket was too dazzling; although it looked impressive, it could easily expose his location.

With a thought from Mu Feng, the treasure light of the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket dissipated.

“Now this is truly comfortable.”

Mu Feng looked contentedly at the flower basket hanging at his waist.

After shaking it a few times to confirm it was secure, he took the two Little Lizards and left the area.

“Hmm, I’ll go get the other diamond treasure chest first, then come back to deal with this Soul Beast King.”

He now had an ancient treasure protecting him, so he no longer feared the Soul Beast King.

However, visibility was poor in the Mist Forest, and Mu Feng was afraid he would get lost again.

So, he decided to get the other diamond treasure chest first.

Then he would come back to get the Soul Beast King's supreme soul stone.

This was called, settling accounts later.

The other diamond treasure chest is located in the Ghost Realm. Just keep walking straight ahead and you will reach the Ghost Realm.

It seemed as if the System knew Mu Feng was directionally challenged.

After just a few steps, a red prompt appeared before Mu Feng's eyes.

“Ghost Realm, walk straight ahead.”

“OK!”

Mu Feng nodded and walked straight ahead according to the location given by the prompt.

Along the way, Mu Feng encountered almost no Yao Beasts blocking his path.

However, he couldn't be happy.

The calmer it was here, the more dangerous the Ghost Realm would be.

It was just the calm before the storm.

After walking for about several tens of kilometers, Mu Feng arrived at a gloomy canyon.

Black Qi permeated it, and corpses were scattered everywhere.

Various skeletal remains were piled up on both sides of the canyon.

Mu Feng used his Divine Sense to investigate.

Fortunately, this black Qi did not have the effect of blocking Divine Sense.

This made Mu Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

Before entering the Ghost Realm, Mu Feng used his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to scout it out.

Only after confirming that there were no ghosts lurking at the entrance did he walk in with peace of mind.

“So cold.”

Upon entering, Mu Feng felt a chill penetrate his bones.

It was several times colder than the Yin Spirit Land.

This coldness was not a surface temperature, but an indescribable chill.

The diamond treasure chest is at the end of the canyon, but you can walk to both sides first; there are many spiritual plants unique to the Ghost Realm inside.

“spiritual plants on both sides.”

Seeing that there were special spiritual plants, Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

He immediately followed the prompt and moved forward.

Not long after, he entered a graveyard.

Many wandering souls were inside.

Upon seeing Mu Feng intrude, the souls immediately surged towards him.

Mu Feng was not flustered.

He had already investigated the information of these nether souls before entering.

Name: Wandering Soul

Realm: Qi Refining Twelfth Layer

Introduction: Low-level ghosts in the Ghost Realm, without sentience, are formed from the Yao Beasts, Cultivators, Soul Beasts, etc., killed by high-level ghosts in the Ghost Realm.

Skills: Body Entanglement, Soul Shock.

Weaknesses: Afraid of fire, afraid of thunder, afraid of objects of extreme yang.

View skill details.

Body Entanglement: Wandering souls can transform into a spiritual state to entangle the prey's body, devouring the Spiritual Qi within it.

Soul Shock: Wandering souls can emit a disturbing ghostly light to damage the prey's Divine Soul, causing it to enter a dazed state; the stronger the Divine Soul, the shorter the control time.

Ghosts of the Qi Refining Stage, and their weaknesses were very obvious.

Mu Feng was not afraid of more of them.

“Go!”

Mu Feng flicked his palm, and dozens of super large fireballs smashed out.

With his current Magical Power, he could throw as many of these low-level Spells as he wanted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a series of violent explosions, all the wandering souls that wanted to come forward were completely annihilated by Mu Feng.

The remaining ones, seeing how fierce Mu Feng was, immediately scattered.

Mu Feng did not pursue them all.

Mainly, these ghosts yielded nothing when killed.

There was no need to waste Magical Power on them.

It was better to quickly find the spiritual plants mentioned in the red prompt.

“Found it!”

As soon as Mu Feng released his Spiritual Eye Divine Power, he immediately saw the black spiritual plant growing next to the graveyard.

Upon finding the target, Mu Feng quickly walked over and pulled it out.

System Reminder: you hun grass x1

you hun grass: A unique spiritual plant growing in the Ghost Realm, it is a material for refining Medicinal Pills that enhance Core Formation Stage.

“you hun grass, Core Formation Stage Advanced Medicinal Pills?”

“Not bad, not bad!”

He was also about to reach Core Formation Stage.

He believed these Materials would be useful soon.

“There are quite a few more over there.”

After putting away the spiritual plant in his hand, Mu Feng quickly walked towards the black spiritual plants in front.

System Reminder: you hun grass x1

System Reminder: you hun grass x1

...

System Reminder: you hun grass x1

In a short while, the you hun grass in the graveyard was completely picked clean by Mu Feng.

He counted them, and there were a total of twenty-three plants, which was a great harvest.

“There shouldn't be any more on this side.”

After using his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to scan and confirm that all the you hun grass here had been picked, Mu Feng immediately walked to the other side.

As before, Mu Feng repeated his trick, defeating the wandering souls inside and then beginning to collect the you hun grass.

System Reminder: you hun grass x1

System Reminder: you hun grass x1

...

System Reminder: you hun grass x1

There were even more here than on the other side, a total of twenty-seven plants.

Mu Feng couldn't stop smiling.

These were rare Spiritual Plants unique to the Ghost Realm.

One of a kind, no other branch.

They were very precious.

After picking all the Spiritual Plants, Mu Feng was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a yellowish-brown object scattered on the ground.

“Oh, that looks like a po jade.”

Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

He stepped forward and picked it up.

po jade: A unique product of the Yin Spirit Land, it has a chance to drop when killing creatures here, and can be used for manufacturing ancient Puppets and Cultivating Ghost Dao Cultivation Techniques.

“Indeed.”

Mu Feng showed a happy smile.

He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.

He originally thought only Soul Beasts would drop them, but he didn't expect even ordinary Qi Refining small monsters to drop them.

However, the probability was indeed very low.

He had killed about a hundred of them to get just one.

But as long as there was a probability, it would be easy to handle.

Putting away the po jade in his hand, Mu Feng walked towards the wandering souls he had driven away earlier with a wicked smile.

He flicked his palm, and immediately, explosions resounded again on both sides of the entire valley.

System Reminder: po jade x1

“Another one dropped, not bad, the probability is indeed very low.”

“Forget it, forget it, let's get the diamond treasure chest first.”

Mu Feng originally wanted to collect all the po jade needed to upgrade the Puppet Lizard at once.

But after all that effort, only one came out.

This made him lose interest.

Mainly, the wandering souls here were almost all killed by him.

The remaining ones were scattered, and it would take a lot of time for him to kill them, which would be a waste of effort.

It was better to get the diamond treasure chest as soon as possible.

Before encountering the Ghost King, Mu Feng didn't want to consume too much Spiritual Qi on these small monsters.

The Ghost King is at the end of the canyon ahead.

As soon as he exited the sides, the red prompt appeared again.

Mu Feng nodded and headed towards the center.

When he came in, the little fox, due to its resistance to the Yin Qi of this Ghost Realm, had already returned to the spirit beast bag.

The Little Lizard, however, was unaffected.

But Mu Feng considered that he might need to advance invisibly, so he also put it away.

This would make his own movements more convenient.

It wouldn't be too late to release it to help when fighting the Ghost King.

Pulling out the skin of the Spirit Concealing Gecko, Mu Feng put it on, and his entire being immediately disappeared into the Ghost Realm canyon.

Along the way, Mu Feng encountered many ghosts.

Some were Qi Refining, some were Foundation Establishment.

The types were also especially numerous.

Wandering souls, refined corpses, fierce ghosts, skeletons.

The Realms ranged from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.

Among them, the most powerful one Mu Feng encountered was a tiger-shaped Yao Beast skeleton at the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

However, he did not make a move but directly bypassed them.

Because of his previous experience of invisibility failing due to using his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to investigate, Mu Feng only used his Divine Sense to simply investigate their cultivation levels.

He did not check the specific information.

Just like that, after Mu Feng bypassed another checkpoint, the ghosts inside gradually decreased.

Towards the end, no more ghosts appeared.

Mu Feng knew that he should have entered the Ghost King's territory.

Caution: You have entered the Ghost King's Domain.

Seeing the red prompt appear, Mu Feng acted even more cautiously, not daring to make any noise.

Thus, after carefully walking for another ten minutes, Mu Feng finally arrived at a small valley.

Ghost Qi permeated the valley, its density far exceeding any other part of the canyon.

Mu Feng knew that this was the Ghost King's lair.

He quietly entered the valley.

Soon, a gleaming treasure chest appeared before Mu Feng's eyes.

It was the diamond treasure chest he had seen earlier.

Unlike the diamond treasure chest he had opened before, this was a closed, unopened box.

Next to the diamond treasure chest, there were also many you hun grass growing.

Moreover, these you hun grass, whether in size or growth, were of better quality than those he had seen on both sides of the canyon.

Needless to say, their age must also be far greater than the previous ones.

This made Mu Feng very excited.

The older the spiritual plant, the better the effect when used to refine Medicinal Pills.

Besides these two items, a skeleton also lay beside the diamond treasure chest.

From its appearance, it seemed to be that of a human Cultivator.

The skeleton was clad in a shimmering blue robe.

The ghost Qi in the valley would automatically dissipate upon contact with the blue light on it.

It looked quite extraordinary.

Besides this clothing, a Black Sword was also stuck in the skeleton's head.

It seemed that he must have died from this Black Sword.

Like the blue Magic Robe, the Black Sword also shimmered with treasure light.

It still looked full of Spiritual Qi, and its luster had not dimmed due to the demise of its owner.

Other than these, there was nothing else in the valley.

The Ghost King mentioned earlier was nowhere to be seen.

“Strange, could it be that the Ghost King inside has left?”

He observed carefully for a long time but found no trace of the Ghost King.

This made Mu Feng somewhat doubt whether the Ghost King was not here.

Although this situation was rare, it was still possible.

Ghosts could also Cultivate, so it was very possible that the other party had gone to Cultivate.

“Let's wait a bit longer; it's not too late to leave if I don't see the Ghost King.”

Out of caution, Mu Feng waited outside the valley for another ten minutes.

However, everything in the valley remained as usual.

Seeing this, Mu Feng carefully walked into the valley.

After confirming again that there was no sign of the Ghost King, Mu Feng slowly walked towards the diamond treasure chest.

However, just as he was about to take the treasure chest, a red prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Caution: You have been targeted by the Ghost King.

Hmm?

The moment this prompt appeared, before Mu Feng could react to what was happening, the Black Sword originally stuck in the skeleton's head suddenly unsheathed and plunged straight towards his skull.
