The magical treasures and artifacts on this female cultivator were better than the ones they’d previously killed. If she self-destructed, even if these treasures weren’t destroyed, they’d suffer severe damage, and naturally, Xu Zhan didn’t want to see this happen.

Seeing the look of madness appear on the fat female cultivator’s face, Xu Zhan suddenly threw the Ink-Horn Poison Dragon Spear in his hand!

Puff!

The Ink-Horn Poison Dragon Spear transformed into a swift, lightning-fast streak, directly piercing the female cultivator’s lower abdomen, dragging her body several yards back and pinning her to a gigantic rock behind!

With this strike, he aimed precisely at the opponent’s Dantian.

After piercing her Dantian with one spear, Xu Zhan’s figure rushed forward again.

As he charged forward, his arm suddenly emitted a strand of purple-black mist.

The mist quickly twisted and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a creature with red eyes and sharp fangs!

Roar!

The evil demon let out a strange noise, and then directly opened its large mouth and bit at the female cultivator’s head!

The imagined bloody scene did not appear.

After being bitten by the evil demon, the female cultivator’s head wasn’t harmed.

But her divine spirit, along with her sea of consciousness, was directly swallowed by the evil demon.

After dealing with this female cultivator, Shen Wen’an also floated over.

Xu Zhan retrieved the Ink-Horn Poison Dragon Spear and stored it back in his storage bag, then approached the female cultivator’s corpse, stripping her of all magical robes, artifacts, and treasures.

Then, with a stretch of his hand, he absorbed the Golden Core from her Dantian into his palm.

Body cultivators aren’t favored by the heavens and earth, so to cultivate the Impeccable Golden Body, they can only seize the golden nature of other cultivators.

"Uncle, quickly check if there are any treasures left in this storage bag."

Golden Core cultivators typically have stronger restrictions on their storage bags.

Xu Zhan, as a body cultivator, didn’t have a strong divine sense and of course couldn’t break the restriction to open the storage bag.

Shen Wen’an took the storage bag from the female cultivator and, using his formidable divine sense, broke the restriction and poured out a large number of items.

As usual, he discarded the various clothing and living supplies, and Xu Zhan’s gaze was instantly drawn to two Jade Boxes that emitted a peculiar aura.

He picked the Jade Boxes up and slowly opened one, revealing inside an exotic fruit emitting a faint red glow.

The fruit was about the size of a fist, black-red in color, with its surface densely covered in scales.

"What is this?"

Feeling the extremely rich qi blood power contained within the fruit, Xu Zhan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to reach out and take it.

But just as his palm was about to touch the strange fruit, it suddenly emitted a weak dragon roar and swiftly transformed into a red glow, escaping!

"Huh?"

The bizarre scene made Xu Zhan pause for a moment.

But Shen Wen’an next to him reacted quickly, his figure flashing as he directly grabbed the escaped exotic fruit.

"Ang——"

The fist-sized fruit, caught by Shen Wen’an, still struggled violently, emitting dragon roars one after another.

"This thing has quite a bit of strength."

Feeling the force of the small thing struggling in his palm, Shen Wen’an said in surprise.

Xu Zhan held the Jade Box and jogged over.

The uncle and nephew carefully stuffed the fruit back into the Jade Box and closed the lid.

"This thing has scales similar to dragon scales and a rich blood qi, surely it’s related to the numerous dragon species corpses in this Dragon-slaying Valley."

Shen Wen’an said solemnly, "If my speculation is correct, this Dragon Scale Fruit should be very beneficial for you body cultivators."

"Later, we should gather more if we encounter them."

Xu Zhan grinned as he stowed the Jade Box into his storage bag, "I didn’t expect this desolate place to yield such unexpected gains."

The two returned to their original location, gathered the things from the female cultivator’s storage bag, and quickly left the area.

...

Yunshui City.

Shen Chongming made his way along the winding path to the back mountain.

"Patriarch."

On either side of the path, Shen Family cultivators responsible for guarding there promptly saluted him respectfully upon seeing him.

Shen Chongming nodded slightly and asked, "Has anything unusual happened inside recently?"

Upon hearing this, the two cultivators exchanged a quick glance and both shook their heads slightly.

Seeing this, Shen Chongming directly passed by them and continued forward.

Soon, he came to a space-distorted vacant area.

This is exactly where Shen Xiubai had previously gone into seclusion.

Gazing at the bizarrely distorted space before him, Shen Chongming pondered for a moment, then took out five differently colored Jade Boxes from his storage bag.

"Xiubai, Uncle is here to bring you the Essence of the Five Elements."

Inside the Jade Boxes were the Essence of the Five Elements that Shen Xiubai had once asked Shen Yuan to help collect.

After Shen Yuan went into seclusion, the task was entrusted to Shen Wen’an.

Before Shen Wen’an left for the Western Wilderness, he informed Shen Chongming of this.

Now, he was trapped in the Dragon-slaying Valley, so Shen Chongming personally delivered the Essence of the Five Elements to the back mountain.

His words lingered for a while, and suddenly, a crack appeared in the twisted space ahead.

"Uncle, please put the items inside."

Shen Xiubai’s voice emerged from the crack.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming immediately placed the Jade Boxes, one by one, into the crack.

During this, he curiously peered into the twisted space through the crack, wanting to see what Shen Xiubai was investigating.

Yet through the crack, he could only see a chaotic scene with various strange lights and shadows flickering.

"Xiubai, are you okay?"

Unable to see the specific situation inside, Shen Chongming felt quite worried and ultimately couldn’t hold back, asking.

The crack was about to close completely, but after hearing these words, the closing crack suddenly paused slightly.
