Chapter 1443: Chapter 1443: Abnormality

"Junior Brother Fang, take these two Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs!"

After Sun Lin received the two Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs from Chang Shan, she handed them over to Fang Bai.

When disciples of Lingxu Palace venture out, the cultivation resources they acquire are generally kept for personal use, except for some extremely rare resources which are partially handed over.

Sun Lin knew that Fang Bai, like her grandmother Sun Jing, was skilled in the alchemy technique, and his understanding might even surpass her grandmother’s.

Take for instance the pill technique her grandmother learned by chance years ago, which was originally incomplete. But after Fang Bai learned it, he managed to complete it and then taught it back to her grandmother, significantly increasing her pill success rate.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill that healed Sun Lin’s injuries was accidentally concocted by Fang Bai, but once he had succeeded once, it was only a matter of time before a second and third success followed...

As Sun Jing said, Fang Bai is a prodigious talent. In the future, he will not only have an infinitely bright future in the Martial Dao but also achieve great success in alchemy.

Sun Jing repeatedly reminded her granddaughter, Sun Lin, to befriend Fang Bai and not to underestimate him due to his current limited cultivation level.

At this moment, Sun Lin decided to give the two Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs to Fang Bai, not without the intention of showing goodwill towards him.

Upon returning to Lingxu Palace, Fang Bai only needed to hand over one Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb to the palace, keeping the other for himself, whether to trade for cultivation resources or to refine spirit pills, and no one could complain.

As for Shi Ming, Zheng Hong, and Huang Zhong, they naturally had no objections to Sun Lin’s actions.

After all, without Fang Bai when the Twin-Headed Serpent went berserk, it would have been questionable whether they could have escaped unharmed, let alone gathered the two Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs.

"Alright, I’ll hold onto the spiritual medicine for now."

Fang Bai didn’t refuse, smiling as he stored the two Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs into his space ring, then said to Sun Lin and the others, "When I have exchanged them for cultivation resources or refined them into spirit pills, I’ll share them with everyone."

Shi Ming and the others understood Fang Bai to be generous, and since this was said, he naturally wouldn’t back down, pleasing everyone.

"I’m sure you all know that the deeper we go into White Bone Gully, the more opportunities there are, but also the greater the danger. We successfully killed the Twin-Headed Serpent and harvested the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs just now; our cooperation was very smooth. Why don’t we travel together from now on?"

Chang Shan proposed.

Other Medicine King Mountain disciples also spoke up, inviting Sun Lin and her companions.

Previously, these proud disciples of Medicine King Mountain would not condescend to cooperate with Sun Lin and her group, but after witnessing their extraordinary battle skills, especially Fang Bai’s, they initiated collaboration.

Sun Lin and Fang Bai exchanged a look, then said, "Cooperation is fine, but the cultivation resources we obtain will be distributed according to our respective contributions. How do you feel about that?"

In the battle with the Twin-Headed Serpent, Fang Bai’s contribution was the greatest, and he deserved the most. However, since the distribution had already been discussed beforehand, Sun Lin and company couldn’t go back on their word.

Now that Sun Lin was explicit, agreeing that resources would be distributed based on contribution was fair, and Chang Shan and his group had no objections.

After agreeing, Sun Lin and Chang Shan sealed their alliance with a handshake and continued on their journey together.

In the following hundred miles, the number of bones in the mountain gully increased, including several spirit beast skeletons measuring three to four feet long, indicating they were once immensely powerful beasts.

Unfortunately, those spirit beast skeletons were so ancient that they were mostly corroded and weathered by natural forces, leaving them unsuitable for crafting spiritual artifacts; otherwise, they would have been snatched up by martial artists during their trials long ago.

During this time, the group encountered a few spirit beasts out foraging. After several fierce battles and some injuries, they managed to slay the spirit beasts successfully.

Though none of these spirit beasts were as valuable individually as the previous Twin-Headed Serpent, their collective worth surpassed it, satisfying everyone.

The injured were only lightly hurt, and after consuming healing spirit pills and recuperating for a few hours, they were mostly fine.

"Something seems off..."

As they continued forward, Chang Shan and the others noticed that the originally clear stream in the gully began turning red, carrying a hint of a bloody odor. The further they went, the redder the stream became, and the stronger the bloody smell.

Additionally, the spirit beasts that should have been increasing in number seemed to have suddenly vanished, making them exceedingly rare.

Even the spiritual medicine occasionally visible among the dense forest gaps seemed to have been entirely harvested.

These occurrences were certainly unusual, causing great surprise to Chang Shan and the others.

Only Fang Bai faintly sensed a strong spirit beast aura suffusing the air.

The spirit beast aura was evidently several times stronger than the previous Twin-Headed Serpent. Fang Bai deduced that it must be at least a spirit beast comparable to a human half-step Golden Core, or even a Golden Core Realm spirit beast.

Fang Bai looked deep into White Bone Gully, a trace of joy and excitement in his eyes.

A spirit beast at the Golden Core Realm was truly priceless, even its flesh and bones were dream cultivation resources for all Foundation Establishment Realm martial artists, let alone its spirit core, which concentrated its essence.

For Foundation Establishment Realm martial artists, directly consuming a Golden Core Realm spirit beast’s flesh was more effective than cultivating with ordinary Holy Grade Spirit Stones and Elixirs. It could improve body constitution and enhance physical strength.

Using the spirit core of a Golden Core Realm spirit beast in cultivation could provide better assistance in breakthrough and advancement than ordinary Holy Grade Creation Pills.

And if alchemists or artifact refiners incorporated the muscles, bones, flesh, and spirit core of Golden Core Realm spirit beasts, they could achieve unexpectedly marvelous results.

For half-step Foundation Establishment experts like Fang Bai, obtaining a Golden Core Realm spirit beast’s spirit core would greatly enhance their chances of successfully reaching Foundation Establishment and might even allow further progress beyond.

This was the source of Fang Bai’s joy and excitement.

"There seem to be traces of a large number of martial artists passing through here..."

Suddenly, Chang Shan crouched down to carefully examine the ground in front of him.

Though martial artists usually glide without touching the ground, they eventually have to land and rest, leaving behind some footprints and other traces on the ground.

What Chang Shan saw were numerous footprints in the sandy ground beside the stream, leading him to deduce that at least a hundred martial artists had passed through hours ago.

"Could it be that something important appeared deeper in White Bone Gully, attracting many martial artists?"

Sun Lin and the others also noticed the dense footprints. Coupling this with the earlier strange occurrences, each of them looked excited, their eyes shining.

"Let’s go! Let’s go take a look!"

Chang Shan stood up and led them forward swiftly.

If a major treasure truly appeared deep within White Bone Gully, even if they couldn’t obtain it, they wouldn’t want to miss the chance to witness its splendor.

And many treasures in the world find their way to those destined for them; perhaps they might be among those destined ones?
