Cultivating To Immortality

"Damn demon." Zhao Yongxiu roared, a furious curse escaping his lips as he saw the massive demon blocking his path.

He flashed, transforming into a series of afterimages, clearly not wanting to get entangled with this demon for too long.

The most urgent matter at hand was to quickly catch up to Fang Hong, who was currently fleeing; otherwise, if Fang Hong truly escaped, how would he retrieve his Lifebound Treasure?

Roar.

The demon had no intelligence whatsoever; it attacked anyone who approached it.

Seeing Zhao Yongxiu draw near, it immediately let out an enraged roar, raising its arms high, and its two massive fists smashed down.

Zhao Yongxiu's old face changed slightly, his heart trembled, and he inwardly cursed.

The strength of this demon was extremely terrifying; if he were hit head-on, even with his protective Spiritual Treasure, he would definitely suffer severe injuries, so he had no choice but to dodge.

However, it was precisely this evasive movement that disrupted his pursuit rhythm, significantly slowing him down.

Zhao Yongxiu could only watch Fang Hong's back quickly disappear at the end of his vision, his heart filled with extreme annoyance.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Fang Hong took advantage of Zhao Yongxiu being held back by the demon, running forward with all his might, not daring to stop for a moment.

Loud rumbling sounds came from behind; Zhao Yongxiu and the giant demon must have started fighting, which was exactly what he wanted.

Fang Hong galloped for dozens of miles in one breath, finally escaping the range of Zhao Yongxiu's solidified spell.

He unhesitatingly took out a Wood Escape Talisman, forcefully infused it with Magic Power, and it immediately transformed into a green light, drilling into the ground, accelerating his escape.

After using one Wood Escape Talisman, Fang Hong felt it wasn't safe enough, so he simply used Wood Escape Talismans for travel, completely denying Zhao Yongxiu any chance of catching up to him.

After continuously using twelve Wood Escape Talismans, Fang Hong finally emerged from underground.

He had finally reached the end of Demon Corpse City, and with a glance, two teleportation arrays appeared before him, one blue and one red, complementing each other.

The blue teleportation array led to the legendary Immortal Herb Garden, while the red one led to the outside world of the Dragon Palace.

Fang Hong didn't even blink, directly rushing into the blue teleportation array; fortune favors the bold, since he had already passed through Demon Corpse City, he had to explore the Immortal Herb Garden no matter what.

After a flash of light, Fang Hong's figure completely disappeared from the Demon Corpse City space, being teleported to the Immortal Herb Garden space.

Fang Hong steadied himself and looked around, finding himself in an ancient forest.

All around were tall, lush trees, the Spiritual Qi was exceptionally abundant, and in the distance were continuous mountains that stretched out of sight.

The scene before him gave Fang Hong a sense of inexplicable familiarity; this was the legendary Immortal Herb Garden of the Dragon Palace, somewhat similar to the Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden he had explored back then.

Upon arriving here, Fang Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Xiao Yu, the Immortal Herb Garden was vast beyond measure, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, and any cultivator who passed the third-level trial would be teleported to this space.

Only after three days would they be teleported to the entrance of the fourth level.

With the Immortal Herb Garden space being so vast, the possibility of encountering Zhao Yongxiu was greatly reduced.

Unless he was truly unlucky and Zhao Yongxiu happened to be teleported next to him, there should be no danger.

"Immortal Herb Garden, let me see what good things are hidden within." Fang Hong's eyes held anticipation.

Fang Hong no longer delayed; he could only stay here for three days, so he had to seize the time to search for opportunities.

He decisively brought out the "spirit sensing disk" ancient treasure; this ancient treasure could sense the aura of spirit medicine within a hundred miles, and now it came in handy.

Fang Hong let it float in front of him and infused it with Magic Power.

Immediately, the surface of the spirit sensing disk flickered with spiritual light, and the silver needle on its face rotated rapidly, emitting soft "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds.

After rotating for a moment, the silver needle finally stopped in the northwest direction, and half of the scale on the disk face lit up.

Fang Hong was instantly delighted at the sight; half of the scale lighting up meant that the spirit sensing disk had found a thousand-year spirit medicine.

Fang Hong no longer hesitated, quickly heading in the direction indicated by the spirit sensing disk.

The closer he got to the spirit medicine, the more frequently the silver needle on the disk flickered.

After traveling at high speed for about the time it takes to eat a meal, Fang Hong arrived near a small pond.

This pond was not large, only seven or eight zhang long and wide, and its water was clear, emitting a faint green light.

Fang Hong activated his Divine Sense and scanned it; there was no dangerous aura within the pond.

And on the bank of the small pond, two small red flowers were growing; these flowers were named "Blazing Sun Flowers."

These were rare medicinal materials used for refining some fire-attribute spirit pills, and from the Spiritual Qi concentration, they had grown for at least a thousand years.

"Good treasures." Fang Hong was delighted; this spirit sensing disk was truly a mysterious ancient treasure, having found him two good spirit medicine so quickly.

However, Fang Hong did not immediately go forward to pick the spirit medicine.

Although the small pond itself held no danger, a dangerous aura emanated from a cave not far from it.

Fang Hong had sensed it as soon as he arrived; it should be a peak level seven demonic beast, and this was likely its territory.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Just as Fang Hong expected, perhaps sensing his Divine Sense probing, a dull roar suddenly came from the cave, and the ground trembled slightly.

Immediately after, a huge demonic beast slowly walked out of the cave.

Fang Hong focused his gaze and saw that it was a "Blazing Flame Pig"; its body was three to four zhang tall, covered in red fur, and its strength was indeed peak level seven.

Blazing Flame Pigs were not a particularly rare demonic beast, with their strength generally being at levels three or four, but the one before him had reached an astonishing peak level seven, showing the importance of a good Cultivation environment for improving one's Cultivation.

The Immortal Herb Garden was rich in Spiritual Qi; if one Cultivated here for a long time, the speed of Cultivation improvement would certainly be much faster than in the outside world.

Fang Hong also stopped hiding and walked directly out from behind a large tree; a peak level seven Blazing Flame Pig was no threat to him.

Fang Hong only hoped that this demonic beast was not something transformed by a restriction, so he could collect its demon core, which could be used to refine Heaven Mending Pills and Nascent Soul Pills.

Roar.

As soon as the Blazing Flame Pig saw Fang Hong leisurely walking out, it immediately showed strong hostility, letting out a low growl, and red flames spewed from its nostrils.

Fang Hong's expression remained normal; with a wave of his right hand, he directly brought out the Heavenly Thunder Needle, which floated beside him.

The Blazing Flame Pig roared furiously, suddenly opening its mouth, and dozens of fireballs continuously sprayed out, carrying high temperatures and impact force, fiercely smashing towards Fang Hong.

Fang Hong waved his hand slightly, performing the Thousand Shadows Heart Piercing Technique, and the Heavenly Thunder Needle transformed into a sky full of needle shadows, shooting out like a rainstorm, scattering all the incoming fireballs.

As the needle shadows flickered, the Heavenly Thunder Needle passed through the flames, becoming even sharper and hotter under the scorching fire, piercing towards the Blazing Flame Pig with a scorching aura.

However, although the Blazing Flame Pig was huge, its speed was exceptionally agile, constantly dodging left and right, easily evading Fang Hong's Heavenly Thunder Needle thrusts.
