351: Devil-defying grass, red-bellied devil flower

Mu Feng nodded, looking at the Five-Colored Ice Flame that had easily killed a seventh-tier Demonic Beast beyond its Realm.

The power of this Ice Flame was indeed comparable to his Qing Luo Sword Formation.

Both possessed an extremely strong amplification ability for combat power.

However, Han Yuyan's ability to easily deal with this seventh-tier Demonic Beast this time, besides the immense power of the Five-Colored Ice Flame, was also greatly aided by the Blue Light Shield.

If not for the protection of the Blue Light Shield, Han Yuyan would not have been so relaxed in combat.

After all, the attacks of this seventh-tier Demonic Beast were not to be underestimated.

"Crack!"

The seventh-tier Demonic Tiger, frozen into a solid block, fell to the ground.

Han Yuyan immediately activated the sharp hammer in her hand.

She smashed it, beast and ice alike, into pieces.

Judging by her skilled movements, it was clear this wasn't her first time doing such a thing.

Now, Mu Feng finally understood why Han Yuyan chose a hammer as her Lifebound Treasure.

It turned out to be for the convenience of hammering people.

After dealing with the approaching seventh-tier Demonic Beast, Han Yuyan's face showed excitement.

Although it wasn't her first time fighting above her Realm, previous instances were all at Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.

This was her first time dealing with such an Advanced Yao Beast beyond her Realm.

And the battle was so clean and swift.

This showed the power of her new Divine Ability and new Magic Treasure.

Since Han Yuyan had dealt with this Demonic Beast herself, all the Materials naturally belonged to her.

Mu Feng glanced at the items Han Yuyan had collected.

He found that Demonic Beasts and Yao Beasts were actually quite similar.

The difference might be that a seventh-tier Yao Beast dropped a demonic core, while a seventh-tier Demonic Beast dropped a Devil Core.

Mu Feng had also obtained this item before when he killed the four-armed Demon Race member.

Therefore, there was no need to deliberately investigate its effects.

The battle ended.

Mu Feng stopped watching.

He turned directly towards the spiritual plants, squatted down, and began to collect them.

[System Notification: Defeating Demonic Grass x1]

[System Notification: Demon Subduing Grass x1]

[System Notification: Defeating Demonic Grass x1]

....

[System Notification: Red-bellied Demonic Flower x1]

There were many types of spiritual plants in the valley.

Mu Feng collected for a short while.

He already had several different types of Spiritual Plants in his hand.

Besides the Demon Subduing Grass he had obtained earlier, the rest were all new to him.

After picking three-fifths of the remaining Spiritual Plants, Mu Feng stopped.

He decided to leave the rest for Han Yuyan.

Since they came together, and she had taken the initiative to deal with the Demonic Beasts here, it was only natural to share some with her.

Taking out the Spiritual Plants he had collected earlier, Mu Feng examined them one by one.

The first he checked was the Defeating Demonic Grass.

This Defeating Demonic Grass was entirely black like ink, but its root was very smooth.

Holding it felt like holding black glass.

[Name: Defeating Demonic Grass]

[Age: 2000 years]

[Introduction: A Spiritual Plant that grows in areas with dense Devilish Qi, absorbing Devilish Qi as nutrition. The entire Spiritual Plant contains pure Devilish Qi. Practitioners of Demonic Technique can absorb it to advance their Cultivation, and it can also be used to refine some special Medicinal Pills.]

[Effect: Can be directly absorbed or used to refine Heavenly Demonic Pill.]

....

"Something for Demonic Cultivators?"

"Alright."

Seeing the information of the Defeating Demonic Grass in his hand, Mu Feng felt a bit uninterested.

He probably wouldn't need this item.

But it was fine.

According to the introduction, it should fetch a good price if traded.

But then again, were there any Cultivators of Demonic Path Cultivation Technique in the Cave World?

He didn't seem to have encountered any.

Oh, it seemed there were.

Mu Feng remembered that when he was looking at the rankings earlier, someone mentioned that Hu Zhentian or Fifth Zhaotong practiced the top-tier Demonic Path Cultivation Technique, "Kui Water Demonic Technique."

So, this Defeating Demonic Grass still had a use.

"Heavenly Demonic Pill? Sounds quite impressive."

"Let's keep it for now. I'm sure someone will be willing to buy it after I leave."

After another glance at the Defeating Demonic Grass's information, Mu Feng put it away.

He then took out a spiritual flower that was green at the bottom, red in the middle, and had purple flowers at the top.

Mu Feng remembered that when he had just picked it, this spiritual flower was called the Red-bellied Demonic Flower.

The Red-bellied Demonic Flower felt a bit prickly to the touch; its root surface had many gray thorns.

Mu Feng focused his attention.

Immediately, its information appeared before him.

[Name: Red-bellied Demonic Flower]

[Age: 2500 years]

[Introduction: A demonic flower that grows in areas with dense Devilish Qi. Its roots and flowers are highly poisonous; only the middle red part can be used for refining medicine.]

[Effect: One of the common Materials for refining Nascent Soul Medicinal Pills.]

....

"Nascent Soul Stage Medicinal Pill Materials?"

"This is good!"

Seeing that the Red-bellied Demonic Flower was a common Material for refining Nascent Soul Medicinal Pills, Mu Feng's face broke into a brilliant smile.

If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to successfully form his Nascent Soul after this Trial Tournament.

At that time, he would need many types of Nascent Soul Medicinal Pills.

Since this item was a commonly used Material for Nascent Soul, he needed to prepare more of it.

While Han Yuyan was still collecting and examining the Materials of the seventh-tier Demonic Tiger, Mu Feng conveniently took all the remaining Red-bellied Demonic Flowers.

He figured she probably wouldn't object.

He counted them.

In the end, he had a total of 13 Red-bellied Demonic Flowers.

After confirming that all had been picked, Mu Feng put them away.

He picked up the last type of unfamiliar Spiritual Plant.

Mu Feng once again investigated its information.

[Name: Blood Spirit Flower]

[Age: 2500 years]

[Introduction: A spiritual flower that grows in areas with dense Devilish Qi, possessing strong restorative effects.]

[Effect: One of the Materials for refining Nascent Soul-grade healing Medicinal Pills.]

...

"Materials for healing Medicinal Pills?"

"That's also good."

Mu Feng nodded.

He placed it into his Storage Ring.

He counted his spiritual plant gains this time.

Their quantities were: six Demon Subduing Grass, eight Defeating Demonic Grass, thirteen Red-bellied Demonic Flowers, and nine Blood Spirit Flowers.

On the other side, Han Yuyan had also collected all the remaining spiritual plants.

"Let's go."

With everything collected, Mu Feng immediately led Han Yuyan and Little Lizard away from here.

He was now preparing to find an area with many Demonic Beasts to upgrade his Lifebound Treasure to a top-grade Magic Treasure first.

"What are your plans next?"

"I need to hunt some Demonic Beasts and demonic creatures."

Since he wanted to upgrade his Lifebound Treasure, Mu Feng naturally wanted to enjoy the experience points alone.

However, it was difficult to say this directly.

But he believed that with her intelligence, she would definitely understand the meaning behind his words.

"I might still need to continue consolidating my Cultivation and refining the remaining Cold Essence in my body."

"I plan to find a quiet place to enter seclusion."

"How about we part ways for now?"

"Call me when you want to leave this place."

"I'm afraid I might not be able to get out by myself."

Han Yuyan said.

She still had some Cold Essence that hadn't been fully refined.

After experiencing the power of the Five-Colored Ice Flame during the battle just now, she naturally wanted to maximize its potential.

So, she sensibly decided to part ways with Mu Feng.

"Hmm, how about this?"

"You can just Cultivate in seclusion next to me."

"I'll give you some isolation Formations; I don't think the fighting will affect you."

Mu Feng thought for a moment.

This place was indeed a bit dangerous.

Within the range of his Divine Sense, there were hundreds of seventh-tier Demonic Beasts or other demonic creatures alone.

Those of the fifth and sixth tiers were countless.

Her magical power was limited; dealing with one or two sixth or seventh-tier Demonic Beasts was fine.

If the numbers increased, she might not be able to handle it.

Since he brought her here, he naturally had to ensure her safe departure.

After all, Han Yuyan had left a good impression on Mu Feng.

He didn't want her to perish here.

"Okay!"

Han Yuyan naturally didn't want to part ways with Mu Feng either.

She had only mentioned finding a place to enter seclusion because she heard Mu Feng's hint for her to leave.

Now that there was a Formation that allowed her to Cultivate in seclusion undisturbed, she was naturally extremely happy.

She wasn't foolish.

It was clearly much safer to follow Mu Feng than to Cultivate in seclusion alone.

"Then let's go."

"In the canyon ahead, there seem to be many Advanced Demonic Beasts gathered. I'm going to hunt them to obtain Devil Cores and increase my points."

"At that time, you can refine the remaining Cold Essence in the isolation Formation I give you."

Mu Feng said.

He didn't intend to expose the secret that his Lifebound Treasure could be upgraded by devouring Primordial Spirits of the same tier to Han Yuyan.

So, he deliberately said it was to increase his points.

Han Yuyan didn't suspect anything.

She followed Mu Feng's footsteps.

Before long, the two arrived at the canyon where Mu Feng had said there were many Demonic Beasts.

After finding a safe spot and setting up a hidden Formation for Han Yuyan to Cultivate in seclusion, Mu Feng took Little Lizard and headed towards the Demonic Beasts in the canyon to kill them.

Han Yuyan checked the defensive effects of the Formation Mu Feng left behind and, finding no problems, entered it with peace of mind to Cultivate in seclusion.

On the other side, Mu Feng had already led the Puppet Lizard on a rampage in the canyon.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, his combat power had increased significantly.

Many skills of the Azure Origin Sword Art were tied to Realm and magical power.

The stronger the magical power, the more powerful the released effects.

The most typical example was naturally the Sword Shadow Separation Light Technique.

When Mu Feng was at the Middle Stage Dan Formation, the Sword Shadow Separation Light Technique could release a maximum of twenty-plus afterimages.

Now, Mu Feng could easily reach thirty-plus afterimages.

At his limit, he should be able to release over forty sword shadows to attack enemies.

It had more than doubled.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Sword light swept across.

Large numbers of sixth and seventh-tier Demonic Beasts fell.

Mu Feng's easy slaughter of Demonic Beasts, like cutting melons and vegetables, also stunned Han Yuyan, who was preparing to enter seclusion.

She had originally thought her speed in killing seventh-tier Demonic Beasts was fast.

But compared to Mu Feng, it was like a small witch meeting a great one.

The gap was too wide; her full-strength attack was merely a casual strike for him.

In the canyon, large numbers of Demonic Beasts surged in.

These Demonic Beasts, in comparison, had lower intelligence and were more bloodthirsty and frenzied.

Normal Yao Beasts, if they encountered a powerful enemy like Mu Feng, would run if they realized they couldn't win.

But these Demonic Beasts were different.

No matter how powerful Mu Feng's combat prowess was, they charged forward fearlessly.

The advantage of this was that Mu Feng's Lifebound Treasure, the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, was thoroughly satisfied with absorbing them.

In less than half an hour, the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, which originally had just over a hundred layers, directly reached over two hundred layers.

After absorbing a large number of Demonic Beast Primordial Spirits, the entire sword body turned dark and was permeated with Devilish Qi.

At first, Mu Feng thought the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword had been infected by Devilish Qi.

He nervously checked its attribute information.

However, he found that this situation with the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword was not due to Devilish Qi infection.

Instead, it seemed to have some enchanting meaning.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see its enchantment information yet.

Perhaps it needed to be upgraded to a top-grade Magic Treasure before its additional effects would be displayed.

After confirming that his Lifebound Treasure had no issues, Mu Feng continued to command Little Lizard to attract enemies, then cooperated with himself to ambush them.

Soon, another hour passed.

In this hour, Mu Feng and Little Lizard almost wiped out the Advanced Demonic Beasts near the canyon.

Mu Feng was too lazy to deal with the remaining scattered ones.

"I wonder how many layers it has devoured?"

"Let's see!"

An hour ago, the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword had already devoured over two hundred Souls.

In this hour, Mu Feng felt that he had killed at least fifty or sixty more, so it should be close to upgrading to a top-grade Magic Treasure.

He opened the Magic Treasure information for the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword.

Mu Feng began to examine it.

[Name: Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword]

[Grade: Lifebound Treasure (Advanced Magic Treasure)]

[Effect: A complete set of Magic Treasures, powerful, can form a Sword Formation to attack enemies!]

[Additional: Soul Devouring (251/300, can be upgraded to a top-grade Magic Treasure after devouring the remaining three hundred Primordial Spirits!)]

[Intermediate Magic Treasure Additional: Sharpness (Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword becomes sharper, capable of easily cutting through opponent's defenses)]

[Advanced Magic Treasure Additional: Soul Capture (When Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword attacks enemies, it can release Soul-capturing sword light, disturbing the enemy's mind.)]

[Durability: 55000/55000.]

....

"It's already 251, that's good!!"

This number of layers was even higher than Mu Feng had imagined.

Before, in the Purple Bamboo Forest, it was slowly stacked at forty or fifty layers.

It took several places to stack to over a hundred layers.

As a result, in this Demon Abyss Sea, it stacked over a hundred layers in just an hour and a half.

This efficiency was incredibly high.

The reasons for this, besides the fearlessness of the Demonic Beasts in the Demon Abyss Sea, were also greatly related to their numbers.

The Yao Beasts in the Purple Bamboo Forest were scattered and had territorial awareness.

They rarely gathered together.

But the demonic creatures and Demonic Beasts in the Demon Abyss Sea clearly did not have this situation.

Moreover, they gave Mu Feng the feeling that they preferred to gather.

Therefore, this was also why he was able to kill a large number of sixth and seventh-tier Demonic Beasts within an hour and a half.

Closing the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword's Magic Treasure page, Mu Feng sat down cross-legged to recover some magical power and stamina.

Long periods of high-intensity combat, even for someone like Mu Feng, who practiced Dual Cultivation of both body and magic, felt a bit overwhelming.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be exhausted to death.

After releasing his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings and confirming that no powerful Demon Race members appeared, Mu Feng did not take out the ten thousand year spirit liquid to restore his magical power.

He was running low on this item.

It was better to conserve some.

Lest he encounter an emergency later and have no magical power to replenish, that would be troublesome.

Half an hour later, Mu Feng felt that his internal magical power had recovered to more than half.

He stopped meditating.

He got up and began to collect the bodies of the sixth and seventh-tier Demonic Beasts scattered all over the ground.
