Chapter 136: Harvest

Xiang Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and steeled his heart several times before pulling hard, pulling the small tripod off. A few pieces of scorched black flesh were still stuck to the tripod.

Wei Yuan gave a soft hum. At this time, the wound on his back was a deep scorched pit, with all the flesh and blood scorched to seal the wound.

Seeing this wound, Xiang Xiaoyu's eyes felt a bit sour. If Wei Yuan hadn't blocked this blow for him, Xiang Xiaoyu would have either died or had his Dao foundation damaged, with no hope of ascending to immortality in this life.

Wei Yuan felt bursts of weakness at this time, and his body felt as if it were burning with fierce fire, with a mass of rich dark green gas entrenched in his chest.

At this time, Wei Yuan's heart was shattered by more than half, half of his lung lobes were all shattered, his sternum and spine were broken in the middle, and the inside was a mess. That mass of dark green gas was constantly corroding everything around it.

Fortunately, Wei Yuan's physical body was extremely strong, and he had the blessing of the Wood-Generating Profound power within the boundary domain. Now the vitality in his body had reached a terrifying level, and many tiny organ fragments were swimming on their own, shuttling back and forth, busy looking for suitable positions to attach to, becoming part of the complete organ again.

If the vitality didn't change, then if these small particles fell outside, no one knew what they would grow into on their own.

That mass of dark green gas was extremely domineering and poisonous, but at this moment, it was being suppressed by both the Azure Void and his physical body, and was also being slowly worn away. If Wei Yuan gathered more Wood-Generating Profound power on himself, his injuries could heal even faster. However, all the Wood-Generating Profound power that could be mobilized within the boundary domain was concentrated on more than a dozen seriously injured cultivators. Their injuries were too severe; once the Wood-Generating Profound power was removed, they would die immediately.

"Bear with it." Xiang Xiaoyu pulled out his magic sword, cut away the scorched flesh at Wei Yuan's wound bit by bit, and then crushed a secret healing medicine of the Xiao family into powder and blew it onto the wound.

These medicinal powders had miraculous effects; where they landed, one could see flesh and blood growing. Then the medicinal powder particles also grew on their own, connected to each other, and in the blink of an eye turned into a milky white net, sealing the entire wound. Seeing Wei Yuan's aura stabilize and his vitality gradually improve, Xiang Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The object that pierced through Wei Yuan's body was now placed on the table in front of them; it was a lizard tooth, almost transparent, with a tiny green lizard swimming back and forth inside.

This tooth should be a part of the Great Shaman's true body, refined into a magic treasure, with infinite power in a full-force strike, which even Wei Yuan's physical body in heavy armor couldn't resist. It was Wei Yuan's physical body that was extremely strong; if this strike had landed on Xiang Xiaoyu, it could have instantly shattered all his organs, or even directly shattered his Dharma body into two sections, severely damaging his sea of consciousness and Dao foundation.

Wei Yuan moved his body, feeling that his injuries were already under control, and the mass of dark green gas in his body was also gradually decreasing, so he put on his robe and got up, saying: "It's okay, there are still people outside who need treatment."

Xiang Xiaoyu nodded and followed Wei Yuan to leave the summit to treat the injured cultivators together.

In this battle, Xu Waner and Yun Feifei were lucky not to have suffered any serious injuries, so the two each took a few cultivators to inspect the battlefield. The so-called inspection of the battlefield was mainly to finish off the seriously injured Shaman warriors.

The Shaman tribe had an ancient and strict hierarchical system. All Shaman laws, inheritance, and history were in the hands of Shaman warriors and nobles. Most ordinary Shaman warriors didn't even know how to read, and fighting relied entirely on receiving orders from superiors. These people wouldn't be able to provide any intelligence even if captured, and they were fearless of death, believing that they would enter the Shaman God's divine kingdom to enjoy blessings after death, so very few were willing to surrender.

Therefore, Western Region cultivators were mostly accustomed to killing all seriously injured Shaman warriors when cleaning up the battlefield. In contrast, nobles and Shaman warriors were easier to surrender; once defeated and captured, the tribe was willing to pay a high price to redeem them.

The battle results were quickly counted. In this battle, more than sixty human cultivators died, and now only a hundred and twenty remained.

On the Shaman tribe's side, the loss of ordinary warriors was nearly five thousand, including one thousand elite poison lizard knights. Twelve noble and Shaman warriors of the Dao foundation realm were killed, and four were captured. Basically, all the Shaman tribe's Dao foundations died at the hands of the Grand Senior Sister, and then Yun Feifei and Xu Waner each killed one.

This battle result was a bit unexpected for Wei Yuan; Xu Waner looked quiet and gentle, but she could actually kill a strong enemy.

The biggest harvest of this battle was naturally killing a Great Shaman.

This Great Shaman was completely different from the one Wei Yuan killed before. He was not good at curse spells, and his physical body was not strong, but his speed was extremely fast, and his attack power was extremely great. In terms of physical body alone, Wei Yuan was now the number one among everyone, even Ji Liuli was a bit inferior. The lizard tooth strike couldn't even be blocked by Wei Yuan, let alone others.

This Great Shaman had a small body and extremely fast speed, so he was quite dominant when facing area-type Dao techniques, and it was difficult to lock onto him in one-on-one combat. It was just that he was unlucky to have encountered the Demon-Suppressing Nine-Story Pagoda, which was number one in sealing and suppression, and was immediately stripped of most of his speed, which was equivalent to wasting most of his martial arts.

The Great Shaman lost his speed, and was led by Behind Bao Yun's aura, attacking the Seven-Marvel Treasure Tree protecting Azure Void crazily for a while, which gave Zhang Sheng enough time to fully activate the sword formation, eating all four swords, and was only a little bit away from falling on the spot.

As a result, when he finally fled, he happened to choose the direction where Wei Yuan was in the west. If he had fled east, south, or north, although he would have taken a detour, no one else could have stopped him.

This was the effect of Ji Liuli's Feng Shui formation, and Behind Bao Yun's aura guidance also had a small part of the credit. When this Great Shaman died, it could even be said that he didn't know what he truly died from.

A moment later, Behind Bao Yun and Ji Liuli returned from pursuing the remnants, and Xu Waner and Yun Feifei took people to clean up the battlefield.

The Grand Primordial Palace group gathered on the summit of the peak again and began to review the battle. At this time, there was a stone table in the room, and on the stone table was the lizard that had been divided into three sections.

Looking at the Great Shaman's corpse, Xiang Xiaoyu suddenly sighed: "Really hard to kill."

He had always been protected by family seniors and high-level cultivators during his previous training, and had at most encountered enemies in the late stage of Dao foundation, and had never faced a Dharma Form head-on. After this battle, Xiang Xiaoyu truly knew the danger of fighting against alien races; if Wei Yuan hadn't blocked two fatal blows for him, Xiang Xiaoyu might not have had his life at this moment. Zhang Sheng also nodded and said: "Although this one's cultivation realm is not high, it should be a very hard-to-kill one among Great Shamans. Lizards have always been known for their tenacious life, and it really lives up to its reputation; it didn't die even after eating my four swords."

Ji Liuli said: "Your fourth sword is still half short; if it were fully cultivated, it should have been able to kill it directly."

Zhang Sheng still shook his head: "It's too fast, and I lack suppression methods; one-on-one, I can't keep it. Unless it seeks death itself and insists on fighting me to the death."

When the topic reached here, Wei Yuan knew he couldn't continue. The so-called suppression methods, besides innate Dao foundations like the Demon-Suppressing Nine-Story Pagoda, all relied on magic treasures and formation disks, all of which were sky-high prices. His master had failed to achieve his goal by a little bit in this battle, and his mood must not be very beautiful. Chatting about topics related to money would easily make him irritable.

So Wei Yuan changed the subject: "He was really suspicious; if I hadn't eaten a blow from him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been willing to show himself."

Ji Liuli glanced at Wei Yuan and said: "It was still little Wei Yuan's luck that worked. That guy should have been very cautious and careful, but he was still fished out. Is there any more of that luck?"

Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "There is none now. However, if there is a Great Shaman's Primordial Spirit, maybe there will be."

After the lizard Dharma Form shattered, the Primordial Spirit was collected by the Demon-Suppressing Nine-Story Pagoda. Although Wei Yuan also wanted it, he couldn't grab things from the Grand Senior Sister. In addition, the shadow in the moon didn't seem to show much interest, so Wei Yuan didn't insist.

So until the topic reached here, Wei Yuan just mentioned it.

Ji Liuli said: "Its Primordial Spirit is broken and incomplete, and the quality is extremely poor; logically speaking, it shouldn't be! I'm afraid it was seriously injured before. But no matter what, it is a Great Shaman's Primordial Spirit, and the status is still there, so I have great use for it. The Ancestor has been very interested in luck fishing recently and is studying related methods. I plan to ask the Ancestor to take action later to see if it can be refined into a luck-fishing treasure, and we will specialize in fishing for Great Shamans."

!.

This was a business with huge profits; Wei Yuan had already experienced the benefits of luck fishing many times, so he was naturally expectant.

The formation disk bestowed by the Immortal Lord finally exhausted its Dao power after fishing out the Seven-Star Reincarnated Body and was useless. Although Wei Yuan could replenish the Dao power for the formation disk, at that time the formation disk was at the Dao foundation status, and it wouldn't be enough to fish for small fish and shrimp.

The lizard Great Shaman didn't have any magic tools on his body; by human standards, this was penniless, poor to the extreme.

However, the Shaman tribe's standards were different; it had refined all its teeth, and each could be considered a decent natural magic tool. The only advantage of this lizard was that it had many teeth; if all were pulled out, there would be seventy or eighty large and small ones.

The most powerful lizard tooth was the one that pierced Wei Yuan's body, which had already given birth to spirituality. However, that tooth had to be driven by Shaman power, and it would have to be re-refined in the future to become a high-level material before it could be used. Although the quality would drop by one rank, it was still better than not being able to use it.

After the few reviewed the battle, the meeting ended.

Just at this moment, everyone felt an anomaly.

A piece of hazy blue gas appeared in the sky, like rain, falling on Zhang Sheng, Ji Liuli, and Behind Bao Yun. A faint immortal sword appeared above Zhang Sheng's head, and the semi-transparent sword body was now a few points more solid, already seven-tenths completed.

The patterns on Ji Liuli's Demon-Suppressing Nine-Story Pagoda were brighter, and there were a few more hanging ropes under the eaves, but at this moment they were empty, and nothing had been tied to them yet.

At this time, the Demon-Suppressing Nine-Story Pagoda suddenly vibrated, and golden light faintly shone from inside the pagoda body, as if something was about to be conceived. But Ji Liuli gave a shout, and suppressed the anomaly again.

Behind Bao Yun's Seven-Marvel Treasure Tree grew a few more leaves and grew an inch taller.

Heaven and earth gift!

The three were a bit surprised; this heaven and earth gift seemed different from what was recorded in the classics, and it was exceptionally large. Judging by the amount, it was at least three times what was recorded in the classics!

Among the three, Zhang Sheng received half of the heaven and earth gift, which was expected. After all, nine out of ten lives of this Great Shaman were killed by Zhang Sheng. Ji Liuli got three-tenths, and Behind Bao Yun got two-tenths.

But the three only received half of all the heaven and earth energy that descended, and the other half fell on the main hall and disappeared in the boundary domain.

Wei Yuan felt the nourishment of Azure Void advancing step by step, and felt quite helpless in his heart; this time it was intercepted by Azure Void again. Although Wei Yuan himself could also get some benefits, this benefit was much less compared to directly receiving the heaven and earth gift.

Xiang Xiaoyu was quite envious to see the three receive the heaven and earth gift. But he didn't play a direct role in the siege of the Great Shaman, and the heaven and earth gift wouldn't consider the contribution of baiting the enemy.

However, Xiang Xiaoyu saw that Wei Yuan didn't have any heaven and earth gift either, so he was a bit surprised, habitually thinking: Has this guy's retribution finally arrived?

As soon as this thought surfaced, Xiang Xiaoyu hurriedly pressed it down. Wei Yuan had just saved him, so he couldn't be ungrateful so quickly; he had to wait at least a few days.
