Chapter 258: Chapter 256 Seven-star Fushen

The clouds dispersed, the sky brightened, and Qingyue successfully ascended to the Immortal World.

In the azure sky, a graceful figure gazed at the place where the Immortal Realm Gate had closed, muttering to himself, "Sister Qingyue, the Immortal World is extremely dangerous. I hope you can reunite with Tian Lang soon..."

Yan Rufeng waved his hand, and a delicate figure appeared before him.

"Brother Rufeng, what just happened was so terrifying!"

Yi Mu tightly clung to Yan Rufeng’s arm, trembling.

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly, gently patting Yi Mu’s shoulder to comfort her, "Mumu, don’t be afraid, it’s all over now."

"Hmm!"

Yi Mu pouted slightly.

"Brother Rufeng, where is Sister Qingyue?"

Yan Rufeng replied indifferently, "She has ascended to the Immortal World."

"Isn’t it said that such ascension here would bring Heavenly Punishment? Why did she still choose to ascend?" Yi Mu asked, looking up.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly.

"Mumu, if the gate to the Immortal World on Canglong Star hadn’t closed, Sister Qingyue could have ascended eight thousand years ago. Upon arriving here, perhaps the Heavenly Dao of this world believed she was trying to sneak into the Immortal World, so it automatically opened the Immortal Realm Gate."

Yi Mu asked with a bit of fear, "So, the recent upheaval in the heavens and earth was a punishment for Sister Qingyue?"

The corners of Yan Rufeng’s mouth lifted, and he laughed, "Mumu, it wasn’t a punishment for Sister Qingyue, it was just a storm. See, everything is fine now."

"Oh..."

Yi Mu released her hold on Yan Rufeng’s arm, showing a faint smile.

"Brother Rufeng, are we now heading to Dragon Origin Star?"

Yan Rufeng paused before saying, "Mumu, people on Dragon Origin Star are incredibly wealthy due to collecting Spirit Stones from various Cultivation planets. I imagine the prices there are extremely high. If we go now, we won’t be able to afford to pay for lodging soon. For now, let’s earn some Spirit Stones on Cangmang Star before heading to Dragon Origin Star."

Yi Mu bit her red lips lightly, showing a troubled expression, "Brother Rufeng, we are strangers here. How do we earn Spirit Stones?"

Yan Rufeng pointed below them at the vast Demon Beast Forest.

"Mumu, beneath us is the Demon Beast Forest of Cangmang Star. It not only has many Demon Beasts but also countless Medicine Stones. Let’s catch some Demon Beasts and gather some Medicine Stones to sell for Spirit Stones."

Yi Mu’s furrowed brows relaxed, and she smiled slightly.

"Hehe!"

"Brother Rufeng, let’s go down quickly to catch Demon Beasts and gather Medicine Stones..."

Demon Beasts and Demon Beasts are different; Demon Beasts are more powerful but less intelligent than Demon Beasts. Even after ascending to the Immortal World, Demon Beasts cannot transform into human form. However, like Demon Beasts, once branded with a Soul Contract by Cultivators, they become their Spiritual Pets.

Demon Beasts are graded into 12 levels. As with Cultivators from other planets, every Cultivator on Cangmang Star carries a Spiritual Pet, usually below level 10.

Of course, some strong Cultivators on Cangmang Star carry Spiritual Pets above level 10. However, they are rare, considering Demon Beasts above level 10 not only reside deep within the Demon Beast Forest but are also immensely powerful.

Typically, a level 10 Demon Beast can battle a Cultivator at the Ascension Stage. Since they often live in groups, most Cultivators and sects avoid provoking Demon Beasts above level 10.

Yan Rufeng, who was once an Immortal Venerable in his previous life, naturally was aware of these facts.

To gather Spirit Stones by catching Demon Beasts, Yan Rufeng, while at the forest’s edge, released his Divine Sense while the beasts were unaware and captured a group of level 7 Demon Beasts, placing them in the Spiritual Beast Garden in his Purple Mansion. Then he led Yi Mu deeper into the forest.

In the dense forest, the footsteps of a man and a woman walking on soft fallen leaves made rustling sounds.

"Brother Rufeng, are you sure we are going in the right direction? We’ve been walking here for half a day and haven’t seen a single Demon Beast. It was better when we were at the edge!"

"Mumu, stop talking, quickly conceal your cultivation."

Yan Rufeng suddenly pulled Yi Mu into the bushes, holding their breath, looking somewhat uneasy.

Not far away, a domineering voice rang out.

"I found this Seven-star Fushen first, you all better step back..."

The Seven-star Fushen is the main ingredient for the Soul Reviving Pill, a rare Spiritual Medicine that emits a white glow from its body. Removing the seven diamond-shaped leaves at the top makes it look like a mushroom with a stalk running through the middle.

The Soul Reviving Pill, refined from the Seven-star Fushen, not only instantly repairs damaged Divine Souls but also enhances them.

As Cultivators enter the Divine Separation Stage, their Divine Souls’ strength becomes crucial, elevating the Seven-star Fushen’s status to a highly sought-after treasure among Cultivators.

Hiding in the bushes, Yan Rufeng fully understood the value of the Seven-star Fushen. He knew that those who could reach this place had cultivation at least at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. It seemed that someone among them was ready to break their agreement and take possession of it by force.

"Ha-ha..."

From the distance came a burst of laughter.

"Scar, if that’s the case, you’re being quite unreasonable!"

"Ha-ha!"

A burly man laughed loudly, the long scar on his face twisting, making him look even more terrifying.

"The wind’s too strong, I can’t hear what you’re saying."

"Shameless!" someone said angrily.

"Hmph!"

Scar snorted coldly, glaring, "I’m telling you, this Seven-star Fushen is mine now, and no one’s going to fight me for it!"

An outraged man bellowed,

"Scar, don’t push your luck."

"Heh-heh!"

Scar grinned malevolently, "You’re planning to take it from me, huh?"

"Bah!"

An angry middle-aged man hunched over, shouted, "Scar, we agreed that if we encountered danger, we’d face it together, and we’d share any rare Spirit Grass or Spiritual Medicine we found."

"So what?" Scar scoffed.

An old man in green slowly stepped forward, stroking his beard, "Scar, we all helped kill the Demon Beast guarding this Spirit Grass. So now, this Seven-star Fushen..."

Scar’s face changed, and a wave of killing intent emanated from his eyes.

"Keep yapping, and I won’t hesitate to kill all seven of you right now!"

The seven around him fell silent immediately. The hunched middle-aged man gave a signal to the old man in green and the other five. They all drew their Flying Swords, pointing them at Scar.

"Zing, zing..."

Sword lights flashed, sounds of fighting rose.

The old man in green roared,

"Scar, since you don’t play by the rules, even though your cultivation is above ours, we will still fight you."

"Heh-heh!"

"You brought this on yourselves!"

Scar’s massive body shook, a pressure filled with murderous intent spread overwhelmingly.

Hiding in the distance, Yan Rufeng’s face changed drastically, and he thought urgently.

"Such strong killing intent, not good, Mumu is in danger..."
