Chapter 222 Rare and Precious Treasures
Moreover, it is said that there are often rare and precious plants growing around the territory of such a monster, so he may have unexpected gains.
On the other side, in the territory of the Ghost Vine Demon, in a dense thicket, a large clump of Ghost Vine, like a demon emerging from the underworld, greedily sucked the blood from the ground, and the source of the blood was a large group of low-level beasts.
This ghost vine demon moves as slowly as a snail, so it is naturally unable to actively track its prey and can only wait for the monster to come to it.
The reason why the demon beasts actively seek death is that the Ghost Vine Demon can emit a unique scent, like a deadly temptation, attracting all kinds of demon beasts to come one after another.
Although this Ghost Vine Demon is as immature in intelligence and speed as a child, its strength is slightly greater than that of other demonic beasts of the same level. Therefore, few demonic beasts in the Northern Frontier dare to provoke this kind of demonic beast.
At this moment, the Ghost Vine Demon was contentedly consuming the blood of these demonic beasts when, in that instant, the sky above its head suddenly changed dramatically.
And deafening thunderclaps could be heard from time to time.
Monsters are born with an innate fear of lightning. The Ghost Vine Demon quickly curled up like a frightened bird, retracting all its tentacles into the soil.
Its wisdom was like a pearl covered in dust, and it could never have imagined that someone would attack it.
Just as it retracted all its tentacles into the soil, the lightning in the sky had already gathered and poured down like raindrops.
Boom boom boom!
The bombing lasted for more than ten breaths. When Xia Yuhui slowly descended from the sky, the earth had been blasted into a huge, bottomless crater, like a scar on the earth.
The green slime remaining on the ground seemed like the blood and tears flowing from this land, staining the entire earth.
Upon landing, Xia Yuhui, like a treasure hunter, scooped out a demon core that shone with green light from the "ocean" of wreckage and green blood.
This ghost vine is notoriously difficult to deal with, like a persistent ailment. However, in the face of absolute power, it is utterly powerless, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
After killing the monster, Xia Yuhui did not flee immediately. Instead, he released his divine sense like a radar, carefully scanning every inch of land within a radius of three hundred miles.
Finally, his gaze sharpened as if he had discovered a rare treasure, and he immediately transformed into a wisp of smoke, arriving at a rock with lightning speed.
Soon, he discovered a medicinal herb on the rock.
Upon seeing this spiritual herb, Xia Yuhui couldn't help but reveal an expression of ecstatic joy. This Ghost Vine Demon truly hadn't disappointed him; it had actually cultivated a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
After confirming that there was no danger around, Xia Yuhui took out a box from his storage bag and carefully placed the Ganoderma lucidum inside.
It seems like today is truly a day of great fortune. I wonder if this good luck will continue?
This earthen Ganoderma is a rare material for refining pills that enhance both quantity and quality. Its medicinal power, accumulated over a thousand years, is probably enough to refine over fifty second-tier pills.
Having gained this opportunity, Xia Yuhui was even more excited about the journey ahead. Soon, he disappeared again like a ghost, turning into black mist.
However, it seemed that this time he had exhausted his luck. For the next two months, he gained nothing, and the figure of the second-tier great demon disappeared without a trace, as if it had evaporated into thin air.
Finally, Xia Yuhui helplessly burned the demon skin map in his hand. For the past two months, he had searched all the locations of the second-tier great demon territories marked on the maps, but he had not seen a single great demon.
They were either overtaken by other second-tier demonic beasts, or even the traces of second-tier demonic beasts were hard to find.
After careful consideration, Xia Yuhui attributed this thorny problem to the previous raging beast tide.
Perhaps because of the rampage of this beast tide, not only did many human cultivators perish, but most of the demonic beasts in the northern border also perished.
However, after he burned the animal hide, he fell into deep thought.
In the past, people would walk on thin ice when entering the northern frontier, fearing they might encounter a great demon. However, now that he was actively seeking out the great demon, he found it as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
Now he has two paths to choose from: one is to continue searching in this area, and the other is to continue venturing deeper into the area.
After careful consideration, Xia Yuhui finally decided to search on the outskirts, since the depths were extremely dangerous. With his current cultivation level, a slight mistake could lead to his utter destruction.
He set himself a goal: one month. If he still hadn't found any trace of the great demon after a month, he would return to the market and search for information there.
However, after several days of searching, Xia Yuhui, though unable to find any trace of the great demon, unexpectedly encountered another opportunity.
At this moment, Xia Yuhui was squatting in a dense forest, constantly using his divine sense to explore the rocks and soil below.
Just now, as he was soaring in the sky, he suddenly sensed something unusual below. The spiritual energy below was as abundant as surging waves, and as pure as flawless jade.
If Xia Yuhui's guess is correct, there must be a mysterious underground spring hidden below.
Furthermore, its quality should have reached the level of a second-order product.
This discovery thrilled Xia Yuhui. The resources deep in the northern frontier were vast. Along the way, Xia Yuhui had often discovered some mineral veins, but none of them could tempt him. After all, mining spirit minerals was a time-consuming and laborious task.
However, this spiritual spring is completely different; he can directly collect all the pure spiritual liquid within it.
If this spiritual spring were to appear in the Xia family's territory, he would surely cherish it as a treasure, take great care of it, and then cultivate hundreds of acres of spiritual fields around it.
However, even if he cultivates spiritual fields in the northern frontier, those fields will ultimately not belong to him.
To plunder all the spiritual liquid in the spiritual spring would be tantamount to completely destroying the spring, yet he didn't care at all.
In the blink of an eye, he dug a hole like a pangolin and entered the depths. After digging nearly a hundred meters, Xia Yuhui, as if guided by a precise navigator, arrived at a small cave.
At this moment, on a special stone slab, a considerable amount of spiritual liquid had gathered like glistening dewdrops. The source of this spiritual liquid was the spiritual energy that had been leaking out from the depths of the earth like a trickle of water all year round.
This spiritual liquid is quite similar to a spiritual vein, but its effects are far inferior to those of a spiritual vein. However, in the eyes of some people, it is like a rare treasure.
This spiritual liquid can not only be used to refine pills, but also to aid in weapon crafting. Furthermore, consuming it can accelerate cultivation speed like a rocket. For Xia Yuhui, it is already a rare and precious treasure.
Thinking about the purpose of his trip, he couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't expected to have such a huge gain from his trip to the Northern Frontier. Although he hadn't obtained the demon core of a second-tier demon, it was still a worthwhile trip.
Although Xia Yuhui obtained these two opportunities seemingly easily, for others it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
