Chapter 774 - 412: Taiyin Spirit Wood (2)
However, Li Mu did not let the temptation in front of him cloud his judgment. To obtain these spirit plants, he first needed to ensure his own safety. He took a deep breath to calm his excited mind and began setting up an array at the entrance of the passage.
Li Mu summoned nine Tier Five Clear Spirit Bamboo Swords from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl. The bamboo swords emitted a serene spiritual light and danced and flipped under his control, layering sword shadows with array patterns continuously depicting all around the passageway.
After a dozen or so hours, the array restriction on the other side of the passage was rapidly taking shape. On the other side, under Li Mu’s control, the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array was still tenaciously resisting Hong San’s attack, battling relentlessly, undying and tireless.
"Everyone, prepare to retreat, withdraw into that passage!"
With the completion of the new array, Li Mu retracted the nine Clear Spirit Bamboo Swords, and turned his gaze toward Qian Wantong, Wan Shaoming, and others, signaling them.
Qian Wantong looked at the terrifying red figure within the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array, a worried expression inevitably showing on his face: "Master Li, if we retreat, will everything here be alright?"
Li Mu glanced at the "Blood Demon Lord - Dana" in the array, a trace of fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes, he said solemnly: "Don’t worry! I have arrangements, you all retreat quickly!"
Upon hearing this, although everyone still had doubts in their hearts, out of trust in Li Mu, they began to retreat orderly.
Li Mu watched as everyone entered the passage one by one, until the last person disappeared on the other side of the passage. Facing the "Blood Demon Lord - Dana" in the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array once again, he took a deep breath and adjusted his state.
However, Li Mu quickly formed a hand seal, manipulating the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array to transform.
The next moment, the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array suddenly erupted with dragon roars, shaking the heart. Spikes of Yin Sha Demon Dragons suddenly disintegrated and rapidly re-fused, forming a Yin Sha Dragon King several times larger in size, with more condensed Yin Sha Power and mightier, exuding an aura close to the Integration Realm.
This newly formed Yin Sha Dragon King emitted a terrifying aura, its black dragon scales and the cold light in its dragon eyes reflected a richer spiritual energy. It unleashed an ear-splitting dragon roar that made the entire space tremble violently, showcasing unparalleled might.
Li Mu coldly glanced at the "Blood Demon Lord - Dana" in the array. He fully activated the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array, elevating the power of the Yin Sha Demon Dragons to the extreme, then directed the Yin Sha Dragon King to attack him.
Li Mu himself used the Instant Void Technique and vanished from his original spot in the blink of an eye, diving into the passage on the other side.
At this point, the "Blood Demon Lord - Dana" stared at the imposing Yin Sha Dragon King before him, feeling an unprecedented pressure. The muscles on his face twitched slightly, revealing a grave expression.
Taking a deep breath, the "Blood Demon Lord - Dana" roared angrily, his entire body surging with blood qi, transforming into a stream of blood-colored flowing light, charging towards the Yin Sha Demon Dragon with incredible speed. In an instant, he was engaged in an intense physical battle with the Yin Sha Demon Dragon.
The "Blood Demon Lord - Dana" displayed the formidable prowess of an Integration Realm powerhouse. Every punch and kick contained terrifying power, while the Yin Sha Dragon King was equally unyielding, counterattacking with its massive body and immense strength.
Their fierce battle resulted in a sudden disintegration of the grand array, filling the "Blood Demon Lord - Dana" with joy as he saw hope for victory.
In another part of the passage, Li Mu, Qian Wantong, and the others witnessed an unprecedented scene of harvest, their faces beaming with indescribable joy and excitement.
"My, so many Tier Seven Taiyin Woods, we’re going to hit the jackpot!" someone exclaimed excitedly, their voice echoing in the passage, filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Look here, Yin Crystal Spirit Ore, a whole spread of it! This is practically a treasure mountain!" another pointed ahead at the vein shimmering with an eerie glow, their eyes glinting with greed and yearning.
"It’s so spectacular, who’d have thought there would actually be a Yin Sha Spirit River here, it’s a natural wonder!" someone marveled, their voice filled with awe and admiration.
However, someone remained cautious, warning: "Everyone be careful, there are many Yin Sha Spirits in the Yin Sha Spirit River, extremely dangerous, do not approach it!"
Just then, someone with sharp eyes noticed a new treasure and alerted everyone: "What’s that? It’s a Tier Seven Yin Deficiency Reishi, isn’t it? Such a legendary spirit grass truly exists!"
Nearby the Taiyin Wood forest, a growth of high-tier spirit grass, resembling Reishi, thrived exuberantly under the nourishment of Yin Sha spiritual energy. Their color was a profound ghostly white, exuding an alluring fragrance, captivating everyone.
Upon seeing this scene, the cultivators scattered and began cautiously harvesting these precious spirit medicines. Their picking methods were extremely skillful, careful not to damage even an iota of the medicinal potency. At the same time, there were cultivators beginning to mine the Yin Crystal Spirit Ore glowing with a faint eerieness, these spirit ores were just as invaluable to them.
Li Mu entered the passage and quickly activated the array at the entrance without any hesitation. He immediately appeared on a small hill where the Reversing Death Spirit Grass was growing alone.
Li Mu took a deep breath, striving to calm his excited emotions, and pulled out a jade box from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl.
Li Mu formed a hand seal, releasing a stream of earth spiritual power to loosen the soil around the Reversing Death Spirit Grass. With a gentle gesture, the precious Reversing Death Spirit Grass seemed drawn by some mysterious force, drifting straight into the jade box.
Storing the Reversing Death Spirit Grass in the jade box and then into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, Li Mu let out a sigh of relief. Without pausing, his figure flickered again, appearing beside a towering Taiyin Spirit Wood. This Taiyin Spirit Wood was towering, with a stout trunk and lush foliage, evidently an ancient tree of ten thousand years.
[Taiyin Spirit Wood]
[Grade: Tier Seven Spirit Wood]
[Attributes: Yin Nether Breath, Yin Spirit Resonance, Yin Spirit Parasite, Yin Soul Entanglement, Nether Nourishment.]
[Status: Ten Thousand Years Tree Spirit, spiritual abundance, waiting for an opportunity to transform.]
[Taiyin Spirit Wood, Tier Seven Spirit Wood, a mysterious ancient wood growing in the place of Yin Sha and Nether Land, height: five zhang and three, tree age: thirty-seven thousand years, its wooden body flows with Yin Nether Qi, nurturing an ancient wood spirit, a top-grade spiritual material for refining puppets, yin attribute spirit swords, and setting yin attribute arrays.]
With the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the attributes of this Tier Seven Taiyin Wood tenaciously appeared before Li Mu’s eyes.
Li Mu was worrying about suitable spiritual materials for refining Tier Six and Tier Seven puppets; this large patch of Taiyin Spirit Woods cannot be missed.
Li Mu took a deep breath, summoning nine Clear Spirit Bamboo Swords from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl. Under his control, these bamboo swords stabbed into the Yin soil around the Spirit Wood fiercely.
As the nine bamboo swords deepened, the soil around the Taiyin Spirit Wood began to loosen. A gleam flashed in Li Mu’s eye; together with both earth and tree, he swiftly uprooted the entire Taiyin Spirit Wood and stored it within the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion with lightning speed.
After digging up one Taiyin Spirit Wood, Li Mu quickly darted toward another, his movements swift beyond comprehension. Within just an hour, hundreds of Taiyin Spirit Woods were uprooted, leaving behind numerous deep pits.
Besides Taiyin Spirit Wood, this underground space contained other rare high-tier Yin Element spirit plants, not just Taiyin Spirit Wood should be collected.
Quickly, Li Mu’s figure darted like a phantom through the Taiyin Wood forest, each appearance accompanied by one or several high-tier Yin attribute spirit plants disappearing. Without exception, these rare spirit plants were stored into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion and the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl by him.
Li Mu seemed to be racing against time. With the aid of Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, he accurately captured every high-tier rare spirit plant. In a short time, his harvest far exceeded the entire harvest of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s treasure hunting team.
