Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

However, Li Chengfeng also noticed that although these demonic beasts had advanced to the second rank, their realms were not yet stable, only slightly more powerful than a cultivator at the tenth layer of Qi Refining at its peak.

Therefore, elite disciples, when equipped with magical artifacts, could still kill them.

Having considered this, he decided to wait and see, seeking the best opportunity to strike.

Li Chengfeng concealed himself, quietly standing on a giant tree not far away, patiently waiting for the chance.

He knew that when two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured. Whether it was the giant ape or the giant python, the moment they decided the victor, that would be his best opportunity to attack.

While observing the battle, he slowly manifested a Substitute Puppet.

This was because five giant apes were guarding the Moon Essence Grass, wielding wooden clubs, watching vigilantly.

Li Chengfeng used the Substitute Puppet as cover, planning how to easily obtain the immortal herb.

When the battle between the giant ape and the giant python entered a fever pitch, Li Chengfeng acted decisively.

He controlled the Substitute Puppet to rush towards the Moon Essence Grass, and once in range, he would quickly kill the giant apes guarding it.

His attack was swift and precise. With a flash of the Substitute Puppet's figure, all five giant apes fell to the ground, dead.

These giant apes never dreamed they would die so quickly, only feeling a blur before their eyes, their foreheads pierced, and their souls taken away.

The Substitute Puppet, holding the Soul Devouring Banner, waved it gently, and all the souls entered it, devoured by the ghost generals inside.

Then, the Substitute Puppet's speed did not diminish, quickly taking out the spiritual herb, placing it in a jade box, and casting a seal. After the spiritual herb was placed in the storage bag, it disappeared.

The giant ape leader suddenly noticed that the aura of the Moon Essence Grass had disappeared without a trace, and its eyes were immediately filled with anger and rage.

It firmly believed that the Fire Python had stolen the Moon Essence Grass and cruelly killed members of its clan, so it vented all its anger on the Fire Python.

The giant ape leader let out a series of shrill roars, the sound shaking the valley. Its body grew taller again, its muscles became more swollen, and its strength doubled.

Regardless of everything, it charged towards the Fire Python, each attack filled with deadly power.

Although the Fire Python felt pain from the two punches, it also understood that the Moon Essence Grass was not on its body.

Facing the raging giant ape leader, it did not want to engage in a prolonged battle, so it spewed out a huge flame, trying to engulf the giant ape leader in a sea of fire.

However, the giant ape leader's skin was thick and its flesh was tough. The flames only burned it black, but did not cause fatal damage.

It bared its teeth in pain, but its eyes were even more determined. It vowed to find the Moon Essence Grass and avenge the dead members of its clan.

The giant ape leader grabbed the Fire Python's tail, and swung it up violently, then slammed it hard on the ground.

This blow was extremely powerful, smashing the Fire Python into a daze and causing it unbearable pain.

But the Fire Python was also fierce and abnormal. It suddenly wrapped its entire body around the giant ape leader, tightening its grip with all its strength, trying to kill the opponent.

The battle between the two was extremely fierce, and for a time it was difficult to determine the winner.

And the whereabouts of the Moon Essence Grass was still an unknown.

In the midst of the fierce fighting between the demonic beasts, Li Chengfeng cleverly sought opportunities.

He saw the Fire Python constantly contracting its body, trying its best to strangle the giant ape, while the giant ape tightly grasped the Fire Python with both clubs, trying to tear it apart.

The power struggle between the two made the surrounding air seem to solidify.

This was the opportunity Li Chengfeng was waiting for. His body flashed, and he came behind the giant ape, then quickly leaped to the top of the Fire Python's head.

At this moment, the Fire Python was focused on its contest with the giant ape, and did not notice Li Chengfeng's arrival at all.

Li Chengfeng was insidious and cunning. He deliberately did not reveal any aura, instantly pierced the Fire Python's head, and directly extracted its blood essence.

The Fire Python's head was pierced, and blood gushed out like a waterfall, while the giant ape was still trying to tear the Fire Python's body apart, but did not expect that the Fire Python had already become a dried corpse.

The giant ape was stunned, and Li Chengfeng took the opportunity to pierce through the Fire Python's hindbrain, killing it with one blow, and extracting its blood again.

With a wave of the Soul Devouring Banner, the Fire Python's soul was also absorbed into it.

After doing all this, Li Chengfeng no longer delayed and turned to leave.

He carefully killed many demonic beasts in this area, obtaining abundant resources.

The spiritual herbs he collected were almost complete, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

When he arrived at Nine Desires Valley, perhaps the spiritual herbs he needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill would be complete, and he could refine multiple batches of high-quality pills.

He planned to keep one or two for his own use, and the rest he planned to pocket.

However, at this moment, a dense ghostly aura suddenly emerged in front of him.

Several rogue cultivators from the Soul Devouring Sect were surrounding a group of people among the puppets, namely Du Hai, Ma Zhen, and Ma Weiguang.

At this moment, Ma Weiguang was disheveled, and the two puppets he was controlling were already in precarious situations.

He kept roaring: "You Soul Devouring Sect are really despicable! We clearly discovered this spiritual herb.

You waited until we fought the demonic beast and killed it, and were exhausted, before appearing! It's really infuriating!"

The rogue cultivator elder was thin, but his eyes were unusually bright. He laughed mockingly: "Extremely stupid, do you think that having a big fist can allow you to survive?

You still have to rely on your brain. You brainless things will die sooner or later."

After hearing this, Ma Zhen and Du Hai also felt regret in their hearts.

They were originally brought into this area by Ma Weiguang through some means, and promised to lead them to excavate spiritual herbs together.

However, to their disappointment, all the spiritual herbs were swallowed by Ma Weiguang alone, and they gained nothing.

What's even more terrifying is that Ma Weiguang also forced them to take poison, and once they were slightly dissatisfied, they would be threatened.

Only at this time did they see Ma Weiguang's sinister intentions clearly.

At the same time, they also worried about Li Chengfeng's safety.

Ma Weiguang didn't seem to sense Li Chengfeng's existence, which made them feel surprised and sad. Could it be that Li Chengfeng encountered misfortune as soon as he came in?

Just as they were worried about Li Chengfeng's safety, they finally discovered a spiritual herb, and tried their best to fight with the demonic beast.

Seeing that they were about to obtain this spiritual herb, the seven disciples of the Soul Devouring Sect suddenly flashed out and surrounded them, preparing to carry out a "black eat black."

Li Chengfeng silently observed all this from the side.

He didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but when he discovered that the herb was the last spiritual herb he needed to gather the Foundation Establishment Pill, he couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart any longer.

He decided to take action and snatch this herb.

He approached the battlefield silently, preparing to find the best opportunity to strike.

He was clear in his heart that this battle was not only about his Foundation Establishment Pill, but the life and death of Du Hai and Ma Zhen were irrelevant.

He had to act cautiously to ensure a sure hit.

Facing the hundreds of ghosts released by the Soul Devouring Sect disciples.

Li Chengfeng acted decisively. He waved the Soul Devouring Banner, summoned two powerful ghost generals, and the ghost generals roared and rushed towards those ghosts, devouring them one by one.

The Soul Devouring Sect disciples were terrified when they saw this. They didn't expect that the ghosts they had refined would be so easily eliminated, and they didn't expect that such a powerful enemy would appear.

In despair, the elder began to beg for mercy, saying: "Which senior is taking action, we are willing to offer all the spiritual herbs and spirit stones, and we ask you to be merciful, after all, we are all fellow disciples!"
