Chapter 53 - 51: The Eldest Apprentice Brother
Following the people ahead, Ye Qiu and Chen Qingchi arrived at a valley where over a hundred Human Cultivators had gathered, and even some Transformation-stage demon beasts.
The demon beasts capable of transformation must at least be at the Divinity Transformation Stage, undeniably an insurmountable force for a small cultivator like Ye Qiu who had just reached the Golden Core stage. It seems the hope of treasure hunting was slim.
Ye Qiu focused his gaze, and in the center of the valley was a Cold Pond. In the middle of the Cold Pond was an Ice Lotus that had yet to blossom. Despite being kilometers away, an intense cold aura still wafted over their faces.
Guarding beside the Ice Lotus was a luminescent white Big Snake, which seemed to be warily respected by the Transformation-stage Demon Cultivators. This was undoubtedly a creature of extraordinary cultivation, and the reason why everyone was holding back.
They only waited for the Ice Lotus to mature, bloom, and bear seeds, then they would swarm upon it.
"This is a Spirit Plant capable of producing Tenth-rank Pills, even our Medicine Valley doesn’t have this!" Chen Qingchi looked longingly, but he knew that with their joint strength, rushing up would only make them cannon fodder. However, it was still possible to feast their eyes on it.
Compared to the young man, Little Wood Spirit was much less reserved. Despite its timid nature, seeing the Ice Lotus, it would have rushed forward if Ye Qiu hadn’t stopped it.
However, looking at the small thing in his hand, Ye Qiu felt there might be a glimmer of hope.
"You sneak over and negotiate with the Silver Snake; if it gives us a few Ice Lotus Seeds and lotus root, give it the Silver Snake Spirit Vine in exchange." For a creature capable of becoming a Jiao, it should be tempted, and Little Wood Spirit’s ability to conceal its presence is unparalleled. It shouldn’t have to worry about being discovered by others.
Little Wood Spirit’s eyes lit up, and with a whoosh, it vanished from sight.
