I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

Zhou Changwang’s confidence increased instantly.

Then he quickly recalled that back when he slew Ghost-eyed Zhao Shanhe, he acquired a copy of the "Mountain and River Topography Map" from him.

It even contains records of the geographical features within Divine Wind Valley.

He took it out to examine and soon discovered something new.

"This ’Mountain and River Topography Map’ clearly represents the observations made by Zhao Shanhe, or perhaps even his ’master’, who had once entered Divine Wind Valley and summarized the Spirit Vein layout of the valley.

Judging from this map.

The center of Divine Wind Valley should be the most mysterious ’Poison Demon Cave’; whether it’s Ninefold Mountain, Poisonous Mist Swamp, Black Forest, or Blood Stone Territory, all are branches of the ’Poison Demon Cave.’

In other words, the place most likely to contain great treasures and rare wonders of heaven and earth must be the ’Poison Demon Cave.’

Besides that, the core areas of these four parts also certainly contain valuable treasures.

The core of the Spirit Vein in Ninefold Mountain is located in the Ninth Mountain.

While the core of the Spirit Vein within the Black Forest is situated in the center.

It’s relatively close to where I am."

Zhou Changwang planned to collect Spiritual Materials along the way while heading toward the core of the Spirit Vein.

As for Ninefold Mountain?

If his guess was correct, the Spirit Plant birthed in the core of the Spirit Vein should be the Thousand-Year Enlightenment Tea Tree.

This Spirit Tea Tree has been rooted for a thousand years and cannot be transplanted, at most, it can only be harvested for Spirit Tea once every century.

This time, it happens to coincide with the hundred-year harvest period, but Zhou Changwang intended to first inspect the Black Forest.

After all, it’s closer!

So next, Zhou Changwang approached the Black Forest while employing Geomancy Skills, Dragon-Seeking and Acupoint-Pointing, along with his Array Path knowledge, to locate Spirit Vein Nodes, places where Earth Qi gathers.

Quickly, he found the second one.

"Another Twelve-Color Flower.

Although it overlaps somewhat with my previous harvest, it’s a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object nonetheless, and the more, the better."

From a distance, Zhou Changwang saw the Spirit Plant and couldn’t help but display a hint of joy.

As for the Demon Beast guarding it.

Surprisingly, it was a White Spirit Fox.

Though it’s a Tier One High-Tier Demon Beast, its bloodline level is quite high, and it is far superior in strength compared to a Same Realm Demon Beast.

But to Zhou Changwang, it makes little difference.

At most, it’s just a bit more effort.

Demon Beasts are brutal.

Especially within this Poisonous Mist-filled Divine Wind Valley, Demon Beasts are extremely violent and bloodthirsty.

Thus, he did not hold back simply because this White Fox had a higher bloodline.

After extracting its Demon Pill and skin, he applied a Spirit Seizing Technique to collect Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid.

Despite its small size, the collected Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid was quite plentiful, a full small jar.

Soon, he found the second Spirit Vein Node, then the third.

This way, searching and collecting all the way.

It wasn’t entirely smooth sailing.

Some places had already been taken by others, leaving him powerless.

While two locations were lairs of Foundation Establishment Great Demons.

If it wasn’t for something he absolutely had to have, he naturally wouldn’t risk fighting a Foundation Establishment Realm Great Demon just for a couple of Third-Grade Spirit Plants.

Although his strength is not weak, having slain Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators twice and once killed a Foundation Establishment Great Demon, he couldn’t be certain of victory against all Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts.

Previously, he only managed to easily deal with the Green-Eyed Poison Flame Python thanks to the benefit of the Flying Skill.

Thus, several hours passed by.

The sky darkened once more!

Zhou Changwang found a cave again and went inside.

"In one day, I found fifteen Spirit Vein Nodes.

Obtained seven Third-Grade Spirit Plants and three Second-Grade Spirit Plants, indeed more efficient than when I explored with Sister Shen and others.

Unfortunately, within these seven Third-Grade Spirit Plants, only three types are Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

Counting it up, the number of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects I possess reaches ten?

This is in spite of excluding the two mature Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects I already have."

Zhou Changwang silently counted his day’s harvest, feeling truly excited.

Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects are extremely coveted by any cultivator aspiring to reach Foundation Establishment, each costing over forty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Now in his possession are ten seedlings, even if they need time and effort to mature, it’s still a substantial fortune.

Such a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object seedling could be casually sold for at least ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Aside from Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, the remaining Third-Grade Spirit Plants are major materials for Spirit Pills, quite valuable.

It’s also a significant gain.

Moreover, my greatest harvest was Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid.

Currently, I have three large jars, seven small jars, and fifteen hundred bottles of Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid.

Adding them up, that’s a total of two thousand eight hundred bottles.

Calculating the worth, it’s over tens of thousands of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

Contentment filled Zhou Changwang’s heart.

He did not immediately enter into cultivation, though.

Instead, he began taking out Jade Scrolls and examining them.

He intended to use the nighttime when he couldn’t wander freely, to seize the moment and learn the two newly acquired spells.

Water Refining Technique and Black Heaven Technique.

"Among them, Water Refining Technique is a Second-Grade Initial Stage Technique.

It’s quite challenging to cultivate, especially considering this is Divine Wind Valley, with no ample water sources.

Thus, it’s unsuitable for cultivation here.

As for Black Heaven Technique.

It’s a First-Grade High-Level Technique.

The learning difficulty is relatively lower."
