Chapter 585: Chapter 54: Enduring Humiliation (Part 1)

Lin Feng and Shui Lanxuan sorted through the scrolls, and most of the scrolls placed on the bookshelves were related to the Spirit Array, not only including the Earth Array Twelve Volumes but also some Yellow Rank and Dark Stage Spirit Arrays. However, these Spirit Arrays no longer attracted Lin Feng.

Besides the Spirit Arrays, there were many insights and experiences, presumably the Flame Demon Monarch’s insights at each realm. These were also quite useful.

"It’s a pity, there is no Heavenly Stage Array," Lin Feng couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

However, acquiring the Earth Array Twelve Volumes and the Flame Demon Monarch’s insights was already considered quite a good opportunity.

There were also many secret technique scrolls here, including five scrolls that reached the level of "Ancient Divine Power."

Lin Feng took three scrolls, and the other two were given to Shui Lanxuan.

When the Flame Demon Monarch left, he didn’t leave much behind, but the Cave Mansion was a pretty good place for secluded cultivation.

"Senior brother, should we leave here?" Shui Lanxuan asked.

Lin Feng replied, "Let’s cultivate here for a while. With such abundant Spiritual Energy, it’s a good place for cultivation."

Thus, Lin Feng and Shui Lanxuan cultivated in the Flame Demon Monarch’s Cave Mansion.

Lin Feng took out a large number of High-grade Spiritual Stones and laid them around the Cave Mansion.

The Spiritual Energy inside the Cave Mansion grew even denser.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Lin Feng’s Cultivation had broken through from the Second Level of the Martial King Realm to the Third Level.

After such a long period of secluded cultivation, Lin Feng planned to go outside and take a look.

Knowing that Lin Feng wanted to go out, Shui Lanxuan naturally wanted to follow him, but Lin Feng said, "Junior Sister Lan, this place is abundant in Spiritual Energy, a Cultivation Sacred Land! It has been seven or eight months now, and it’s not long before the Thunder Blade Secret Realm will open again. By then, we must leave the Thunder Blade Secret Realm. During this time, I want to go out and search for my fellow disciples, so I plan to go alone. You should stay here and cultivate."

Shui Lanxuan naturally did not want to stay here alone, but having spent so much time with Lin Feng day and night, she had come to understand him to some extent. Since Lin Feng had made up his mind, it would be hard to change it.

Shui Lanxuan had no choice but to say, "I will definitely follow Senior Brother’s instructions and cultivate well here. You also need to be careful."

"Mhm."

Lin Feng nodded, hoping that Shui Lanxuan would not grow impatient with solitude and sneak out like Sun Yaya did, eventually meeting a tragic end.

He found Shui Lanxuan’s character to be quite trustworthy.

...

Nine Dragons Mountain!

This was a renowned continuous range of mountains within the Thunder Blade Secret Realm, not only because many Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansions and precious medicinal herbs grew here, but also because it was common to find medicinal herbs over five thousand years old in Nine Dragons Mountain, making them incredibly valuable.

Many cultivators gathered at Nine Dragons Mountain in search of opportunities.

Of course, Nine Dragons Mountain was too vast, covering nearly a hundred miles with abundant resources. With the appearance of fierce beasts, many fortunes were not so easily obtained.

The places in Nine Dragons Mountain where precious medicinal herbs grew were often guarded by powerful protection barriers.

These herbs growing within the barriers could not be harvested by ordinary people unless one could break through these barriers.

But breaking through barriers was not an easy task.

Many of the barriers were extremely dangerous and contained destructive power. Many cultivators were attacked by the barriers while trying to decipher them and ultimately died horribly.

Such occurrences were commonplace in Nine Dragons Mountain.

...

In the outer regions of a valley, nine disciples from the Heavenly Repair Peak of the Azure Cloud Sect, including Shee Weizhu, Zheen Ying, Jingping, Wang Hu, Song Chuxia, Qi Nanrong, Yuh Zi’ang, Li Qixun, and Zhang Kunlun, were attempting to break through a barrier.

They had been trying to break the barrier for three consecutive days, and since none of them were Spirit Array Masters, they had to resort to brute force.

After three days of hard work, the barrier’s power was weakening, which brought smiles to the faces of the group of Heavenly Repair Peak disciples.

Another two hours passed, and the strength of the barrier had almost been worn down.

Shee Weizhu and the others all showed expressions of pleasant surprise.

But at that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from within the forbidden array.

"Not good, the prohibition also contains a killing aura."

Sensing the horrifying killing aura, Jingping’s face suddenly turned white. It wasn’t easy to retreat now. Clenching his teeth, he threw himself towards the prohibition.

"Pfft..."

Dozens of strands of killing aura pierced directly through Jingping’s body.

Then, those killing auras dissipated.

Jingping was blasted away, crashing to the ground with an ashy complexion.

"Senior Brother!"

Seeing this, the others instantly felt as if their hearts were splitting open.

Jingping, even if he could not have dodged those killing auras, could have tried to defend against them, but instead, he used his body to block them all, sacrificing himself to protect the other Heavenly Repair Peak disciples.

Everyone’s heart was filled with emotion, as well as pain and concern as they all hurried over.

"It’s a huge stroke of luck, Senior Brother has no vital injuries."

Wang Hu, relieved, quickly stopped Jingping’s bleeding and helped him take some healing pills. Jingping’s face was still very pale, but it looked much better than before.

Jingping said, "I’m fine. No need to worry about me. Quickly check what’s inside the prohibition."

Wang Hu rushed over, exclaiming with joy, "It’s Blood Ginseng that’s three thousand years old, and there are five plants!"

"Ah? Blood Ginseng?"

All of the Heavenly Repair Peak disciples revealed ecstatic faces.

Blood Ginseng contained immense blood energy.

After taking it, one’s cultivation could be greatly increased.

A thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng was already very rare, let alone three thousand years old?

Wang Hu quickly excavated the five plants of Blood Ginseng that were over three thousand years old.

"My God, five Blood Ginseng plants, those guys have struck it rich."

"It’s a tremendous opportunity indeed. Even if nine people share them, they can still increase their cultivation by at least two levels."

"If they were sold, they would fetch a sky-high price, as it is the main ingredient for many Earth Stage Spiritual Medicines."

Some cultivators nearby were also startled, looking at the Heavenly Repair Peak disciples with eyes full of envy.

"Wealth should not be flaunted in public. We must leave quickly!"

Jingping said in a deep voice.

Everyone understood this principle and was about to leave, but at that moment, more than twenty cultivators swept over, surrounding everyone.

Among this group of people, there were two powerhouses at the Tenth Level of Martial King Realm and five at the Ninth Level. The rest of the dozen or so were all above the Fifth Level of Martial King Realm, extremely powerful.

The leader was one of the two at the Tenth Level of Martial King Realm, a man with a lean figure, a hooked nose, and sinister eyes.

"These are people from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, right?"

"That’s right, it’s one of the Nine Ancient Desolate Forces of the Seventy-two States in the north, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect. The leader is a young man named Zuo Haoyang. Rumors say this person comprehended the ’Ling’ three months ago."

"What? He comprehended the ’Ling’? That’s terrifying. He can be considered a top-level genius. Those people being surrounded by the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, I’m afraid they’ll have to hand over the five Blood Ginseng obediently."

Many cultivators started discussing.

...

"Leave the Blood Ginseng and go on your way." Zuo Haoyang spoke indifferently. This person’s name was ’Haoyang,’ yet he didn’t possess a shred of masculine energy; instead, he gave off a chilling, cold aura.
