spirits, a disciple’s voice trembled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu, Xu Master... look over there... what is that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young disciple standing on the flank pointed to the edge of a nearby moss-covered monument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts and followed his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Pharmacist Xu was startled, focusing his vision to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the top edge of the monument covered with moss, a tendril-like thin vine was quietly emerging, swaying gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was originally nothing remarkable, but on its surface, there was a crooked, white star-patterned mark!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pharmacist Xu let out a sigh of relief, admonishing, \"It’s just an ordinary demon plant...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the base portion of the monument covered by thick moss suddenly writhed violently and then arched up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhlaa—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly solid \"stone skin\" of the \"monument\" split open on both sides like soft mud, creating a huge gap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the gap, it was not hard rock at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a layer of tough, thick, and resilient vine skin covered with deep dark green patterns!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a broken monument at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly a massive, ancient demon-eating vine disguised as a monument!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vines they thought were the main vine were merely exploratory branches extending from this ancient vine disguised as a monument!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true predator had always been lurking like a gigantic sea monster under a reef, only exposing a little bit of its disguise, watching all their performances!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh...\" The disciple who had warned Pharmacist Xu earlier emitted an inarticulate sound from his throat and staggered back, collapsing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pharmacist Xu’s face turned ashen, devoid of any color, leaving only a deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The joints of his fingers gripping the purple jade flute cracked with sound, the spiritual light flashing intermittently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just a Foundation Establishment demon vine, quickly form an array...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was only the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhlaa... shhlaa... shhlaa...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dense, tearing sound like ripping cloth echoed from all around, from the forest surrounding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of Medicine King Valley were like startled birds, looking around in horror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounding them, the previously quiet and variously shaped monuments...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether half-collapsed or relatively well-preserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick moss and climbing vines on their surfaces were all frantically wriggling and peeling off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the stone skin, without exception, were all vine skins of demon-eating vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actually a colony of demon-eating vines!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desperate screams of the Medicine King Valley disciples had not yet fallen when an ear-piercing \"crack\" suddenly echoed from behind the monument where Chen Ye and Zhiwei were hiding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye’s hair stood on end in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly looked down, only to see the thick moss beneath his feet boiling violently like hot water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The broad leaves of ferns he had previously calmed with his Spirit Plant Cultivator techniques were curling upwards frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense cracks spread rapidly like cobwebs, deep within the cracks, the ghostly green vines writhed like living snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monument that sheltered them was also shockingly one of the ancient demon-eating vines disguised as a trunk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye’s mind went blank, leaving only two icy words: It’s over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not realized that inside this monument was also a Spirit Plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how skilled he was in Spirit Plant Techniques, he was merely a Qi Cultivation cultivator, incapable of detecting the deliberate concealment of such a terrifying existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could no longer care about staying hidden, grabbing the stunned Zhiwei and holding her protectively in front of him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His other hand reached for the little white fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This white fox was alive but was like dead, turned into a little stiff fox, possibly frightened out of its wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Chen Ye was too slow to escape to care about the little white fox’s feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual power beneath Chen Ye’s feet exploded, and he was about to retreat with the two little ones in tow, regardless of everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the splatter of dirt and decayed leaves, the demon-eating vine suddenly burst out from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye, holding Zhiwei and the little white fox, stumbled out from behind their hiding monument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exposed in front of the Medicine King Valley crowd and the countless vine monuments with gaping mouths around them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that I, Chen Ye, will fall here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye held the two little ones tightly, muttering to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the anticipated thunderous strike did not descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon-eating vine behind them not only did not attack them but instead exuded a chaotic consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that it’s been disturbed by my Spirit Plant Technique?\" Chen Ye took a deep breath, seeing hope, and continued to tirelessly use the Spirit Plant Technique to soothe the demon-eating vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the other side, the Medicine King Valley did not even have this moment to breathe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh—Master Xu save me!\" A disciple closest to a vine monument crack tried to rush towards Pharmacist Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh shhh shhh—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least five vine whips shot out from the clefts of the closest vine monuments to him in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed was beyond the limit of the naked eye’s capture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple’s body was instantly pierced through the limbs and chest by five vines shooting from different directions, and a horrifying suction erupted from within, flattening his full body like a deflated balloon without even giving him time to scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five vines were quickly pulled back, tossing his shrunken corpse aside like trash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! No—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run! Run!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Escape!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing their fellow disciple instantly turned into a dessicated corpse, the remaining disciples of Medicine King Valley went mad, scattering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold steady, form the Golden Soup Array!\" Pharmacist Xu’s eyes widened in fury, struggling to command the disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted loudly, the purple jade flute in his hand burst out with brilliant azure light, instantly enveloping all the remaining disciples within a spiritual barrier!\u003C\u002Fp>",993,"2026-06-06T06:08:59.014Z",1,"novelbin.me","dfbbba7bce0fa3960a59e7b2125294545d8436142d5c73420e0e3ed22447b16e","longevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-chapter-410","longevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-chapter-408",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-cover.jpg"]
