Chapter 255 The Cautious Huang Daxian
Chapter 255 The Cautious Huang Daxian
Zhao Mu had already used his Golden Eyes to check and did not sense any danger, so he dared to step forward.
However, since Jin Fei said so, with her strength, she should have noticed something that Zhao Mu could not.
Zhao Mu cautiously took a few steps back and summoned the Donghuang Bell, surrounding himself to defend against enemies.
Jin Fei moved in the air and shuttled through the cave as if she was teleporting. Suddenly, she shouted and tore at something with her bare hands.
With a series of crackling sounds, the ground was suddenly torn open, and a human-shaped corpse was forcibly pulled out by Jin Fei.
The corpse was in the shape of a middle-aged man, wrapped in a thick layer of black-gray shroud. His hair was sparse, and his nails were sharp. However, his body was intact and showed no signs of decay. His eyes were bright and spirited, and he did not look like a corpse at all.
What was even more surprising was that the moment the corpse appeared, a refreshing medicinal fragrance suddenly appeared.
The medicinal fragrance was extremely rich. Just by smelling it, Zhao Mu felt comfortable all over.
"A medicinal corpse?
No wonder so many spiritual herbs can grow in this place that is neither blessed nor prosperous. "
Jin Fei raised her hand and condensed a Void Chain, imprisoning the medicinal corpse and dragging it in front of Zhao Mu.
It was unknown whether it was because it was imprisoned or because the medicinal corpse was not aggressive, but it was very silent and did not struggle at all.
"What's a medicinal corpse?" Zhao Mu asked.
"Some alchemists will use their own bodies to test medicine. After years of swallowing various medicinal herbs, their flesh and blood will become extremely powerful. After death, the body will not decay, and instead, it will transform into a top-notch medicinal herb. The longer it lasts, the stronger the medicinal efficacy. This medicinal corpse is useless to ordinary cultivators, but in the eyes of top-notch alchemists, it's a priceless treasure."
Jin Fei carefully looked at the medicinal corpse and said, "This medicinal corpse should have a history of more than ten thousand years. The medicinal efficacy is very dense and can be considered top-notch. If young master likes it, you can use it as a medicinal primer. Every time you refine pills, you can cut a small piece of its flesh, and it can double the medicinal efficacy after the pill is refined."
"Uh …"
It was a good thing, but Zhao Mu would never do such a thing.
Using a corpse to refine pills was really an eyesore.
Even if the medicinal efficacy of a pill refined like this could be doubled, Zhao Mu would never dare to use it.
He decisively shook his head.
"Since Young Master doesn't like it, then bury it again. Medicinal corpses need at least 100,000 years to nurture to the limit. At that time, there is a certain probability that it will transform into a Corpse Immortal."
Zhao Mu nodded and prepared to personally bury the medicine corpse, which could also be considered as a good karma.
If this medicine corpse really transformed into a corpse immortal in the future, then he would be considered to have attached a portion of merit to it.
However, right at this moment, the herb corpse actually opened its mouth and spat out a brown command medallion.
Hmm?
Zhao Mu used his Divine Sense to pick up the token. After cleaning it up, he saw the words "Divine Medicine Hall" written on it.
The Medicine God Palace, one of the Five Great Sacred Lands of the Human Race?
Zhao Mu remembered that Fan Deng's master was once a disciple of the Medicine God Palace.
Could it be that this medicine corpse came from the Medicine God Palace?
He used to be a disciple of the Medicine God Palace?
Zhao Mu looked pensive and said, "You revealed your identity because you don't want to be stepped into the ground again. You want me to send you back to your homeland?"
The medicine corpse nodded stiffly as if it had understood Zhao Mu's words.
Zhao Mu looked at Jin Fei and said, "If I take it away, will there be any risks?"
"That won't be the case. Although medicine corpses belong to the Corpse Ghost Sect, they are not aggressive. In some places, they have the habit of nurturing medicine corpses in their homes. They think that this can ward off diseases and dispel disasters."
Uh, that's not necessary.
However, since there was no risk, Zhao Mu did not mind helping it.
He would take it away first. When he returned to the Saint Prime Devil Sect, he could let Fan Deng's master take a look. Maybe he could recognize the origin of this medicine corpse.
Without saying anything, Zhao Mu cast a sealing barrier and enveloped the medicine corpse. Then, he kept it in a separate storage Dharma artifact.
"There's no danger now, right?"
Jin Fei nodded.
Zhao Mu did not hesitate and immediately began to collect the spirit herbs and treasures on the ground.
In a short while, there was nothing left in the cave.
He obtained a total of 3,200 spirit herbs and 24 treasures. The highest was a seventh-grade treasure medicine.
It was definitely a bountiful harvest.
He could even use it to get a return reward.
However, there were too many spiritual herbs, so the efficiency was not high.
It seemed that Zhao Mu still needed to recruit a group of disciples and nurture some tools with full Favorability.
The more tools there were, the more valuable Zhao Mu's return system would be.
After putting away the herbs, Zhao Mu set off again and continued to head west.
After flying for a short distance, Zhao Mu sensed an extremely powerful aura rapidly approaching.
Jin Fei sensed it faster than Zhao Mu. She had already hidden in the void and began to take precautions.
A moment later, a demon wearing a golden Daoist robe, with sores on his head and a yellow furry tail behind him, flew over.
It seemed to be Huang Daxian.
His cultivation level was very high, probably at least at the fifth level of the Tribulation Transcendence realm. He was far from being comparable to the Black Water Mystical Snake.
"You're very well-informed. You're the first one to come to me." Zhao Mu's expression was calm.
"I mainly cultivate the Heavenly Eye Divine Ability to calculate the heavenly secrets. I predicted that you would pass by here today. I was right."
Oh?
It seemed that this Huang Daxian had some tricks up his sleeve. He could even calculate that he would pass by here.
There were many capable people in the cultivation world. Even among the demon race, there were many ruthless characters.
This kind of person's strength might not be top-notch, but his methods were extraordinary. Once he was targeted, it would not be easy to escape.
In particular, some evil cultivators who cultivated forbidden techniques were even more difficult to deal with.
"Son-in-law, this rat demon's soul power fluctuations are a bit special. He might be good at mind control. You have to be more careful." Jin Fei's voice sounded in Zhao Mu's ears.
Zhao Mu calmed down and poured more spiritual power into the Cloud Spiritual Shield.
However, facing a powerhouse at the fifth level of the Tribulation Transcendence realm, the Cloud Spiritual Shield's soul defense might not be enough.
It seemed that he had to rely on Jin Fei's power this time.
"I'll help you attract his attention. Find an opportunity to attack. Try to kill him in one strike. Don't give him a chance to escape."
"Okay, Son-in-law. Don't worry. I guarantee that he won't hurt you at all."
Zhao Mu calmed down and walked forward leisurely.
"Then did you predict that you would lose your life today?"
Huang Daxian didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed. "I wanted to say that you're a stubborn duck, but you're still a man who managed to escape from the Shadow of the Killing God. I have to treat you with caution. So I won't waste my breath on you. I'll finish you off as soon as possible. I won't give you any chance to change your fate."
Just as Huang Daxian finished speaking, Zhao Mu suddenly felt that something was amiss.
Almost at the same time, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled violently, and a huge spell formation appeared. It was as if the mouth of a deep abyss had opened and was about to swallow Zhao Mu.
What a good ambush!
On the other hand, Zhao Mu had miscalculated. Since Huang Daxian was able to calculate his route, choosing to set up a trap here in advance and waiting for Zhao Mu to take the bait was the most effective strategy.
It was wrong of Zhao Mu not to have considered this point.
However, it wasn't a big problem.
Just as Zhao Mu was about to be swallowed by the spell formation, Jin Fei appeared. Her beautiful figure cut through the void and helped Zhao Mu break free from the spell formation's restraint.
Almost at the same time, Jin Fei attacked. Like a phantom, she appeared in front of Huang Daxian like a ghost and smashed her palm down expressionlessly.
Puchi.
Huang Daxian's body was directly crushed into bright red meat paste on the ground.
"What a domineering attack!" Zhao Mu was secretly shocked.
Jin Fei's strength was truly terrifying.
However, Zhao Mu saw Jin Fei frown as if she was very unhappy.
"Is there a problem?"
"Yes. This yellow rat isn't his main body. It's just a clone. He's more cautious than I thought."
