Chapter 128

"Whoosh!"

Stimulating the Heaven-Penetrating Eye between his brows, he searched carefully.

Soon he found a light golden stone the size of a person more than ten meters away that was quite special, so he took out the iron book and slashed down.

With a bang, the stone exploded.

There was nothing.

Li Youyi showed a look of disappointment: "Without becoming a Great Mind Master, the Heaven-Penetrating Eye can only be considered initial success; it can only see a general idea, not guess right every time."

There were many special light golden stones under the waterfall, and Li Youyi slashed seventy or eighty of them in a row, only finding three drops inside one of them.

Not even enough for a mouthful.

"Impossible, even if the Heaven-Penetrating Eye can only see a little bit of the surface, it at least shows the direction is correct. There are so many stones containing special Qi here, it's absolutely abnormal, how could there be only a few drops?"

Li Youyi stopped to rest, raised his head, and looked at the darker golden stone wall next to the waterfall, more than a dozen zhang off the ground.

His heart stirred, and he stepped on the protruding parts of the stone wall and leaped up.

"Bang!"

The iron book smashed down, and a large piece of the stone wall was knocked off, falling toward the cliff below.

Immediately followed by the second strike, the third strike...

The deeper he smashed, the more golden mist overflowed from the depths of the cliff. Touching it with his finger, the fingertip was moist, and spring liquid overflowed from inside.

Li Youyi's heart beat like thunder, and he hurriedly took out the magic tool treasure bottle, not daring to use the iron book to smash it recklessly anymore, but instead condensed magic power at his fingertips to penetrate the thin layer of the stone wall.

Golden spring water flowed out accompanied by a clear fragrance.

The area where he was was completely shrouded in golden mist.

"Great, it was obtained without any effort, there is a full tenth of a square, can't use it all, simply can't use it all."

A square is equivalent to one thousand liters.

One hundred liters, this amount is enough not only to refine trace veins but also to calcify bones without finishing it.

The golden spring he had seized at the beginning that helped him refine two golden trace veins was only a little over a tenth of a liter.

"This trip has already not been in vain."

Li Youyi took out another iron bottle, and after filling it, immediately put the magic tool treasure bottle into the blood mud space. If Zuoqiu Baiming saw it, wouldn't he shout for an equal split again?

He continued to search, smashing the entire cliff wall, but naturally there were no more gains.

Returning to the bottom of the cliff, Li Youyi swallowed the golden spring to refine the trace veins in his body.

Tian Che and Zuoqiu Lanlan returned first, looking in surprise at the fragmented light golden cliff wall in front of them, and then their line of sight fell on Li Youyi, who was sitting cross-legged.

Zuoqiu Lanlan looked displeased: "Sima Tan, the Zuoqiu Gate invited you here hoping you would help find and dig for immortal soil; have you been searching?"

Li Youyi had just refined seven more golden trace veins and was in a great mood, so he hurriedly stood up and responded heartily: "I have, I searched this stone wall thoroughly, but didn't find any. How about you?"

Tian Che had a kind personality and shrugged: "Same, nothing gained, immortal soil is too hard to find."

"I didn't find immortal soil, but I found half a bottle of golden spring; my luck is a bit better than yours. Come, come, you take some, don't be polite with me." Li Youyi was very enthusiastic and generous.

"There is actually half a bottle."

Tian Che took the iron bottle, opened it to look, and was very shocked, not doubting that Li Youyi was hiding anything else. Because golden spring is hard to find, finding half a bottle at once is already considered a lot.

The displeasure on Zuoqiu Lanlan's face dissipated, and instead, she felt a bit embarrassed; no matter what, this Sima Tan was truly open and exceptionally generous.

Golden spring is a good thing, they were not polite and took some.

Of course, the couple still had some face, and only filled one-fifth. The two had a greatly increased favorable impression of Li Youyi, and there was no more of the previous alienation and coldness.

Zuoqiu Lanlan expressed an intention to win him over, smiling: "We have also heard of your combat power in the Spring Gushing Realm; if the rumors are true, why do you dwell in the dangerous building that is the Nine Li tribe? The Zuoqiu Gate is actually a better choice."

Li Youyi smiled and waved his hand.

Tian Che said: "If Brother Sima has concerns, fearing the envy of some people in the Zuoqiu Gate, you can also marry into the family like me... Haha, we will be one family from now on!"

"Boom!"

A giant sound rang out from the depths of the dense forest, and the clouds and mist shook.

Immediately following, Zuoqiu Baiming's short and loud whistle came from that direction.

The three stood up suddenly, looked at each other, and used their movement techniques to rush over.

"Swish! Swish!"

Li Youyi deliberately lagged behind Tian Che and Zuoqiu Lanlan by several zhang.

As the distance to the fighting sound grew closer, a large number of bone-winged bird demon beasts appeared in the ancient forest where the tree trunks were a hundred meters high. They flew in groups, their cries dense and sharp.

The bone-winged birds were about three feet long, their bodies were flesh-and-blood demon bodies, their wings were white bones burning with blue flames, and their beaks were sharp as swords.

Tian Che looked at the flock of bone-winged birds diving down and the cloud of demonic Qi, saying: "It's a demon beast group from Tianya Ridge."

"Leave them to me! You hurry to find Brother Baiming, he must have encountered trouble."

Li Youyi let out a long whistle and struck out with the iron book in his hand.

"Swish! Swish!"

Thirty-five iron book pages flew out, rotating to form thirty-five small vortices, beating the bone-winged birds intercepting Tian Che and Zuoqiu Lanlan until they fell in droves, like a rain of blood.

"What a powerful magic tool."

Tian Che praised, and quickly rushed to the place where the fighting fluctuations were most intense with Zuoqiu Lanlan.

Li Youyi killed among the bird flock for a while before Shang Zhi finally arrived.

After dispersing the bird flock, the two arrived at the center of the battle unhurriedly.

Zuoqiu Baiming held the Sky Flame Blade, fighting against a demon race expert also wrapped in dead-spirit human skin. Both the human and the demon had high-grade magic tools, completely flattening the forest, and a large area of ancient trees fell.

Tian Che and Zuoqiu Lanlan were fighting a group of five Five Seas Realm demon cultivators at the entrance of a valley.

The couple were both pure immortal bodies, coordinated well, and had fierce combat power, actually only slightly falling behind.

Li Youyi narrowed his eyes, seeing the veins of immortal mist in the dense forest valley in the distance, secretly guessing that it was a battle triggered by immortal soil.

"Let's go, let's go help them; Tianya Ridge relies on having many demons and is bullying people too much."

Shang Zhi carried his blade and killed toward the valley.

Li Youyi followed closely, deliberately shouting: "Brother Tian, I'm here to help you. This group of demon cultivators actually dares to rob the immortal soil we found, simply not putting the Zuoqiu Gate in their eyes; we must give them a lesson."

After arriving, Li Youyi held the iron book and beat a first-stage Five Seas Realm ape demon away.

He held back his strength, only injuring it, not killing it directly.

He didn't want to expose too much strength.

The ape demon was extremely resentful: "You Zuoqiu Gate people are simply too barbaric and domineering; the immortal soil in this valley was clearly found by us first, yet you are accusing us of the opposite. Humans are indeed shameless!"

Li Youyi was stunned, looking toward the person holding the Sky Flame Blade in the distance; could it be that Zuoqiu Baiming wanted to rob Tianya Ridge?

Great!

Just take this opportunity to fan the flames and drag the Zuoqiu Gate into the water.

Li Youyi no longer held back, directly swinging the iron book to split the ape demon's head in two, saying coldly: "In the Southern Realm, the Zuoqiu Gate's logic is the logic."

Then, he killed toward a five-seas-realm black-haired dog demon, and after a few moves, cut off its head: "We have taken a fancy to the immortal soil in the valley; if you don't retreat quickly, we will kill you all."

The fox demon expert dueling with Zuoqiu Baiming, seeing two of his side's Five Seas Realm experts killed in succession, was filled with monstrous hatred, gritting his teeth: "Go, retreat first!"

The demon cultivators in the forest retreated like a tide.

"Zuoqiu Baiming, this matter is not over, keep the immortal soil with you for now." Retreating to the depths of the dense forest, the cold voice of the fox demon expert came viciously.

"Incompetent rage."

Zuoqiu Baiming's mouth curled slightly, not taking it to heart, sheathing his blade, and walking toward the valley.

Li Youyi knew he had been too obvious just now, and was thinking about how to deal with Zuoqiu Baiming's anger.

But he heard Zuoqiu Baiming's praising voice: "Well done, this is how you should raise the prestige of our Zuoqiu Gate; a group of demon kinds actually dares to claim to be on equal footing with the thousand gates in the Southern Realm, it's simply rebellious. Your strength is indeed not weak, it's already hard to find an opponent in the same realm."

Li Youyi was not sure if Zuoqiu Baiming had seen through it, and after pondering for a moment, he still gave the prepared reason: "I saw Brother Tian and his wife being besieged, and for a moment my anger was uncontrollable, my emotions were too intense!"

"It doesn't matter."

Zuoqiu Baiming followed the veins of the immortal mist and walked into the valley.

Shang Zhi secretly gave Li Youyi a thumbs up, transmitting his voice with magic power: "What these gate disciples care about first is the actual benefits they get. Second is face. The two shouts you made might just be exactly what he wanted to say. This Zuoqiu Baiming is an extremely arrogant person; in his view, he is the number one in the world in the Thirty-Three Li Mountain."

Li Youyi didn't know why, but he felt very uneasy, always feeling that from the moment they entered the mountain, Zuoqiu Baiming looked at him and Shang Zhi as if looking at dead people.

In the depths of the valley, the three from the Zuoqiu Gate were already digging for spiritual soil.

The spiritual soil on the ground was three-colored: green, black, and yellow, covering a square zhang of ground.

Tian Che placed a boundary bag on the ground and kept putting the dug-up spiritual soil into it.

The boundary bag was also refined from the lung lobes of a Wu Xiu, but it could not hold living things, and the difficulty of refining it was smaller.

At the center position, after digging half a foot deep, Zuoqiu Baiming immediately told Tian Che to stop.

He walked over himself, pulled away the soil layer, and immediately four-colored mist radiated from below, a four-colored soil appearing, both crystal clear and having the stickiness of soil.

"Nearly a jin, great!"

Zuoqiu Baiming was emotionally excited, not letting go of a single grain of immortal soil, using magic power to collect it all, putting it into another boundary bag, and then said: "You two hurry to help, dig up all the spiritual soil, this thing can make medicinal herbs grow at ten times the speed."

After Li Youyi and Shang Zhi joined, in less than half an hour, they dug the hundreds of jin of spiritual soil clean.

The five walked quickly toward the valley entrance.

Li Youyi sniffed, sensed a subtle change in the air, immediately stopped, held his breath, and mobilized magic power into his eyes. Suddenly, in the air, he saw gray particles that were imperceptible.

Looking back toward the depths of the valley, there were no such gray particles.

In other words, it had just drifted from the valley entrance.

"Something is wrong! There is something in the air, gray liquid particles," Li Youyi reminded everyone.

The four mobilized their magic power to observe together, and Zuoqiu Baiming's face changed suddenly: "It's the Earth Spirit Gray Mist of Coffin Mountain, hurry and hold your breath."

The voice of the fox demon expert from Tianya Ridge came from the valley entrance: "Too late! Zuoqiu Baiming, being arrogant comes with a price."

"There is no Zuoqiu Gate in the Thirty-Three Li Mountain, only the law of the jungle." Another voice came from above the valley, echoing endlessly.
