Chapter 532: Inside the Taicang Mountain Range

Buying seeds and brewing methods?

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's intent, the Tianxiang Tower Master was stunned.

The Spirit Fruit and Spirit Wine of Tianxiang Tower were famous in Cang City.

They were the greatest specialty of Tianxiang Tower, and also the foundation of Tianxiang Tower's existence.

If it were anyone else coming to ask for them.

The Tianxiang Tower Master would certainly have refused without the slightest hesitation.

But now, he had to consider it carefully.

"What? The Tower Master is unwilling to sell?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at the Tianxiang Tower Master with a smile, his expression kind and infectious.

The Tianxiang Tower Master's heart skipped a beat.

It was precisely because of the person before him that the Wan Family was annihilated.

He would not be naive enough to think the other party was truly kind.

Since the other party could annihilate the Wan Family.

Annihilating a Tianxiang Tower would be nothing more than a trivial matter.

Thinking of this.

He ultimately gritted his teeth and agreed.

……

One hour later.

Wang Jianqiang walked out from inside Tianxiang Tower, a look of slight emotion on his face.

This Tianxiang Tower Master was truly enthusiastic.

Originally, he had prepared to spend a high price to purchase Spirit Fruit seeds and brewing methods.

He had not expected the other party to insist on giving them away for free.

Unable to refuse such kindness.

He could only reluctantly accept them.

When he was leaving.

The other party had cautiously asked about his purpose for wanting the Spirit Fruit seeds and brewing methods.

Upon hearing him say it was only for his sect to use, the other party let out a long sigh of relief.

……

Outside Cang City.

In the boundless wilderness.

Under a large tree.

A woman with a light veil covering her face sat cross-legged.

At a certain moment.

She opened her slightly closed eyes and looked toward the distant city.

A trace of helplessness appeared in her expression.

Nearly a month had passed since she killed the Wan Family Clan Head and came outside Cang City.

So much time had passed.

Wang Jianqiang actually still hadn't left Cang City!

At this moment.

She even had the impulse to rush into the city and drag Wang Jianqiang out.

In a flash of thought.

She then recalled Wang Jianqiang's upright character, willing to risk danger and give his all for his friends.

She felt somewhat relieved again.

With that guy's personality.

He must be carefully settling the Ling Family.

Wanting to wait until the Ling Family was completely safe before leaving Cang City.

Forget it.

Waiting a little longer is fine.

Anyway, this mission had no time limit.

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, she suddenly sensed it.

A fluctuation came from her Dark Pavilion Identity Jade Token.

She looked up and immediately saw a figure rapidly approaching.

Seeing this scene.

She let out a long sigh of relief.

This guy was finally willing to leave the city.

……

The Taicang Mountain Range, stretching endlessly.

Like a giant dragon, crouching upon the earth.

In the Taicang Mountain Range, fierce beasts ran rampant.

One year ago.

For some unknown reason, the demonic beasts within the mountain range have collectively gone mad.

They are frantically attacking every living creature that appears before them.

Not only do they attack the Human Race Cultivators who enter the Taicang Mountain Range to adventure, but they also attack their own kind within the mountain range.

Since the incident occurred.

The powerhouses of Cang City have entered several times to investigate, but all returned without success.

The mission of Wang Jianqiang and Gu Xinran this time.

Is to find out the reason for the madness of the demonic beasts within the Taicang Mountain Range.

After the two left Cang City.

They headed straight to the Taicang Mountain Range.

Gu Xinran hovered in the air, looking down at the mountain range below. After pondering for a moment, she looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend Wang, I am only here to assist on this mission. Unless you encounter danger you cannot withstand, I will not intervene."

"Investigating the matter of the demonic beasts' mutation can only rely on yourself."

"Understood."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Afterwards, Gu Xinran concealed herself, and Wang Jianqiang flew straight into the mountain range.

Just after entering the mountain range.

He was attacked by a demonic beast.

However, it was merely a Golden Core Stage demonic beast.

It was killed by a casual flick of his finger.

"It really is very strange."

Wang Jianqiang looked at the corpse of the demonic beast, his expression flickering.

He had not deliberately restrained his aura.

The intelligence of a Golden Core Stage demonic beast is already no less than that of a human.

Logically speaking.

It should not have acted in such a suicidal manner.

Thinking of this.

He took out the blood and the demonic core of the beast and examined them carefully.

He did not detect the slightest abnormality.

Afterwards, he continued to walk deeper into the mountain range.

Half a month later.

After examining the corpse of a Nascent Soul Stage demonic beast, Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of surprise.

Along the way.

He had killed over a hundred demonic beasts.

There were Qi Refining stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, and Nascent Soul Stage ones.

But so far, he had not detected the slightest abnormality.

"It is impossible for the demonic beasts to have mutated suddenly without leaving a single trace."

"Could it be that my method of examination is wrong?"

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

He continued to walk forward.

Soon.

He encountered another demonic beast.

A demonic beast at the late Nascent Soul Stage level.

Like all the demonic beasts he had encountered before, this one also lacked the slightest bit of reason.

It pounced on him the moment it saw him.

Wang Jianqiang did not kill it instantly as he had before; instead, his figure flashed, and he dodged.

At the same time.

Golden Light flashed within his eyes.

While dodging the demonic beast's attacks, he looked toward the beast.

A moment later.

His heart stirred.

A smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

At this moment.

He had finally discovered the source of the demonic beasts' madness.

Through careful investigation with his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

He discovered a speck of red Spirit Light deep within the beast's Soul.

This speck of red Spirit Light was extremely well-hidden.

Even when investigating with the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, it was only after searching carefully for quite a while that he found it.

If not for the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

Even if a Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator's Spirit Sense were to penetrate deep into the Soul to investigate carefully, they would absolutely be unable to discover it.

After finding the root cause of the demonic beasts' madness,

Wang Jianqiang stopped wasting time and flicked his finger.

A five-colored Spirit Light flashed, severely wounding the demonic beast, after which his Soul Power surged into the demonic beast's Soul Sea.

He began to extract the speck of red Spirit Light within the demonic beast's Soul.

The red Spirit Light seemed to possess a spirit of its own.

After sensing danger, it actually began to actively dodge and hide.

It was a pity, however.

Under the insight of the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, no matter how it dodged, it had nowhere to hide.

In the end, it was forcibly extracted from the demonic beast's Soul by Wang Jianqiang.

"Is this the root cause that makes the demonic beasts go mad?"

Beside Wang Jianqiang, the space rippled.

Gu Xinran's figure appeared.

Seeing the red speck of light hovering above Wang Jianqiang's palm, her expression was filled with surprise.

While Wang Jianqiang had been examining the demonic beasts along the way.

She had actually been observing in secret the entire time.

But until now, she had not had the slightest clue.

She had not expected that Wang Jianqiang would have already found the root cause of the demonic beasts' madness.

Was it luck, or was it his own ability?

"It should be."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "However, to confirm it, I still need to examine other demonic beasts."

Gu Xinran nodded and once again concealed herself within the void.

Wang Jianqiang continued forward.

Not long after.

Another demonic beast appeared.

This time.

Before Wang Jianqiang could make a move.

Gu Xinran appeared immediately and restrained the demonic beast.

Her formidable Spirit Sense swept out.

She carefully examined the demonic beast's Soul, yet still discovered nothing at all.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled.

His Soul Power surged out.

A moment later.

A speck of red Spirit Light flew out from within this demonic beast's body.

Seeing this scene.

Gu Xinran's eyes widened slightly.
