Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 379: Picking Up "Spirit Stones"

The Sky-Cleaving Halberd is like a key that opens all the treasures in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

Xu Mu did not turn back to obtain the Haoyang Divine Wood.

On one hand, although the Stellar Gate has suffered some losses, they may not choose to give up, after all, the value of the Haoyang Divine Wood is quite high.

Their purpose in entering the Xuan Yang Secret Realm is to exchange cannon fodder for valuable things and to obtain Xuan Yang Holy Water as much as possible.

The acquisition of Xuan Yang Holy Water mainly depends on luck, there is no way to force it, so their main focus is still on ordinary treasures. As long as they encounter them and have the opportunity to obtain them, they will naturally not give up.

On the other hand, the Xuan Yang Secret Realm is so large, why should he bother to compete with others?

But before that, it is better to help Fengque remove the restrictions in her body.

With Xu Mu's attainments in formations, it is not difficult to remove the restrictions on Fengque. After sacrificing two unlucky fellows for experiments, including Fengque, he successfully removed the restrictions on the remaining few people.

The reason why he removed the restrictions on the remaining few people is not because he was being kind-hearted, but because there was still a problem with the restrictions that he couldn't solve. So he tried a few more times, but unfortunately, he still couldn't solve it.

These restrictions are not only used for positioning and control, but also have the function of assisting cultivation. However, this function is not a positive effect. It actually mainly squeezes the potential. This is why Fengque and the others were able to become False Dan cultivators in just over a hundred years without much resource support.

While he was removing the restrictions, these people's bodies were once again damaged, and their already limited life potential was almost depleted.

There are many dangerous restrictions in Fengque's body, and he can't leave them for later removal. If the Stellar Gate members self-destruct, it would be even more troublesome for him to stop them.

But looking at Fengque's white-haired appearance, Xu Mu was speechless.

"Just when I haven't solved one, another one comes. It's really unlucky!"

And their identities, he couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to.

"I hope the next journey will be fruitful!"

Xu Mu held the Sky-Cleaving Halberd and hurried towards the depths of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm while searching for treasures.

The reason for going deeper is because only in the depths can there be Xuan Yang Holy Water. This is also why the three forces did not search horizontally.

Although it becomes more dangerous the deeper they go, there will also be more treasures.

Relying on the Sky-Cleaving Halberd in his hand, Xu Mu can be said to be like a fish in water. Not only did he harvest a large number of precious treasures, but his travel speed was not delayed.

Even in places where even a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator would have to be cautious, he could walk as if on flat ground. He quickly arrived at the core area.

A whole sea of fiery red lotus ponds appeared before Xu Mu's eyes.

"To have over ten thousand Rank Seven Earthfire Lotuses, it's unbelievable!"

Seeing the scene before him, Xu Mu was a bit stunned.

Although the Earthfire Lotus is not as precious as the Haoyang Divine Wood, it is not cheap either.

If he could take all of these, it would be worth at least the accumulated wealth of a Nascent Soul sect for ten thousand years.

"With the foundation of the three major forces, it is not difficult to reach this place with some effort! Since that's the case, there is no reason for them to leave behind such a large number of treasures."

Even the three major forces cannot pretend to not see such a huge area of Earthfire Lotuses.

"So, there is only one possibility."

Xu Mu cast a spell and instantly stirred up a hornet's nest.

Although there were no spatial rifts in the surrounding area, there were densely packed micro-space cracks. Even if he made his body ethereal, he was afraid that he would not be able to cross them.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mu felt relieved instead.

If it were any other danger, he might have considered whether or not to take the risk.

But since it's a spatial rift, it's right up his alley.

With a sweep of his Sky-Cleaving Halberd!

After casting the spell again, all the spatial rifts disappeared without a trace.

He then began to clean up the spatial rifts while collecting the Heartfire Lotus.

It's fortunate that he has a Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasure like the Soul Refining Cauldron. Otherwise, even if an ordinary person had a means to remove the spatial rifts, they wouldn't be able to collect these patches of Heartfire Lotus.

Not only are the growth conditions for the Heartfire Lotus harsh, but after picking them, they must also be processed before they can be stored in a special jade box for preservation.

Most cultivators wouldn't carry so many jade boxes, and even if they did, they wouldn't have anywhere to put them. After all, the storage space in the storage rings used by Nascent Soul stage cultivators is very limited.

Only a Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasure like the Soul Refining Cauldron can ignore these conditions and forcefully collect them without worrying about the loss of medicinal efficacy or withering.

But using a Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasure as a storage bag is probably something only Xu Mu can do.

After collecting all the Heartfire Lotus, Xu Mu didn't stay and immediately left the area.

Shortly after he left, people from the three major forces arrived one after another.

Although they couldn't collect them, they didn't mind taking a look and using it as a landmark to determine their location.

But when they saw the empty lotus pond, all three major forces were dumbfounded.

What's going on? Am I hallucinating?

I remember there were clearly a large number of Heartfire Lotus here!

All the cultivators who had been here before couldn't help but question themselves in their hearts, suspecting that their memories were faulty.

It wasn't until they confirmed it multiple times that they had to admit that the Heartfire Lotus had disappeared.

Those were tens of thousands of Rank Seven Spirit Medicines, some of which were even rare Rank Eight and Rank Nine treasures. If they were all converted into spirit stones, they could easily pile up into a mountain.

Although they could only look at them before and not consume them, at least it was a wish!

Maybe one day, those spatial rifts will disappear!

After all, the spatial rifts in this secret realm have always been unstable, and significant shifts are normal. As long as they aren't dug up by someone, they will eventually fall into my hands.

Spirit Medicines, Demonic Beasts, and cultivators are different. The impact of spatial rifts on them is minimal. After all, they won't move randomly. If they encounter one, they can change direction and continue to grow.

Even if their branches are cut off by suddenly appearing rifts, they can regrow roots and sprout again. What they care more about is the surrounding spiritual energy, and this place is abundant in spiritual energy. Every space here is comparable to the core area of a large spiritual vein.

If it weren't for the inability to stay here for a long time, I'm afraid it would have been occupied by cultivators long ago.

Now that this patch of Heartfire Lotus has been completely dug up, it's like cutting meat from the three major forces, even though they had never touched it.

"The spatial rifts disappeared? Could it be that the Demonic Beasts ate all the Heartfire Lotus?"

Some cultivators used spells to probe and found that all the densely packed spatial rifts had disappeared, which made them suspect.

In this sealed world of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, the spatial rifts shifted, giving the Demonic Beasts an opportunity to eat all the Heartfire Lotus.

A cultivator who was proficient in investigation techniques approached and shook his head after examining the area.

"The air is still filled with the scent of Spirit Medicine, which means the Heartfire Lotus was just recently disappeared. Even a Rank Twelve Demonic Beast wouldn't be able to eat so much Heartfire Lotus in such a short time!"

"Demonic Beasts are different from humans. It's impossible for them to pack up what they haven't finished eating! Besides, according to previous records, Demonic Beasts in the secret realm wouldn't appear in the core area!"

"If it's not the Demonic Beasts, then who could it be..."
