Chapter 123 The Myriad Wonders of the Azure Lotus

Fang Yan sensed the numerous spiritual materials shimmering with spiritual light within the chaotic space. He counted them and found that he had obtained a total of sixty-eight kinds of spiritual materials during his visit to the herb garden. All of them were top-tier spiritual materials that were hard to find in the world and would be of great use to beings at the Demon King level.

Fang Yan sealed and stored most of them in a spirit jade box. The five spirit roots that were still alive were also temporarily sealed with a treasure-storing talisman, waiting to be transplanted to the Qingfeng Secret Realm after returning to Qingfeng Mountain.

"Although the trip to the herb garden was thrilling, it was also very rewarding."

Fang Yan slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face, and then looked towards the core of the Ruins Secret Realm.

"The gains from this trip to the ruins and secret realms have been extremely rich for me, and that senior Tachibana has invited me to visit the core area."

"Should I leave the ruins now, or go and meet this senior...?"

After a moment, Fang Yan made a decision.

He flipped his hand and took out the Pure Yang Sword Pearl again, drawing upon the vast and powerful Pure Yang energy within it to descend upon the Pure Yang Sword...

Based on what Senior Ju has shown recently, Fang Yan believes that this trip is worthwhile, but after the incident at the herb garden, it would be best to always keep the Sword Opening Heaven Gate as a trump card.

At the foot of Qingfeng Mountain lies Xiahe Village.

At this moment, outside the village academy, Qi Tianhua and Yang Sheng were sitting facing each other at a stone table, leisurely drinking tea, while Qi Lian was meditating cross-legged on the grass not far away, with streams of spiritual energy flowing around him.

"My master and I stayed in Xiahe Village for a long time, and we really troubled Temple Master Yang during this time."

"Senior Qi, you are too kind. Since you two have come to visit the Mountain God, you are naturally guests. As the temple keeper of the Mountain God Temple, this is just my duty. I only hope that Senior Qi will not find the village too simple."

Qi Tianhua stroked his beard and sighed, "Since I embarked on the path of immortality, it has been far too long since I have felt the warmth of human life. Listening to these children's innocent voices reading aloud has stirred up some distant memories..."

He was once a member of a prominent family in the mortal world, and he studied in school from a young age, which is still a wonderful period in his life.

However, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. After he entered the immortal realm, he left some things in his family to protect the family's prosperity for two hundred years. However, his descendants were not up to par and the family eventually declined.

However, that was thousands of years ago.

For him now, the person with whom he has the deepest and closest relationship is still his eldest apprentice beside him.

Seeing the man before him with a sentimental expression, Yang Sheng realized that he himself was no different. After handing over the position of temple keeper to his children in a few years, he would follow the mountain god to a secret realm to live and cultivate for a long time.

I wonder what the Yang family will be like hundreds of years from now.

However, over the years he has come to terms with it. Children and grandchildren have their own destinies. He, Yang Sheng, has already completed his mission, raising three outstanding children. The rest is up to them to walk their own path.

Just then, a streak of black and gold light suddenly streaked across the sky above the two of them and flew straight into the distance.

A glint of inspiration flashed in Qi Tianhua's eyes as he exclaimed, "When I came here earlier, I never expected that the Mountain God would have such skill in cultivating spirit beasts. Although their bloodline is not yet top-tier, their potential is limitless."

As an ancient and prestigious sect, the Hundred Beasts Sect is most famous for its beast taming skills. With his keen eye, it was not difficult for him to see the black crow's origins and its solid and profound foundation.

He had already seen three such spirit beasts in Qingfeng Mountain during this period, in addition to a Xuan Turtle.

Although he was also curious as to why the little Xuan Turtle of the Xuan Turtle Clan had appeared here, what interested him even more were these three spirit beasts that had already completed their first bloodline transformation and had great potential.

During this trip to Qingfeng Mountain, he was increasingly looking forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with the mountain god.

However, if Qi Tianhua knew that Fang Yan had been feeding these four little ones all these years with various top-grade elixirs like candy, one wonders what he would think...

The hidden ruins, after seven days, have once again welcomed guests to their core area, which had not been visited for who knows how many years.

Fang Yan gazed at the still-shattered earth before him after so many years, the towering and magnificent thousand-foot-tall demon skeletons with parts of their bodies exposed on the ground, and the incomplete weapons beneath his feet...

Compared to Black Willow and Sword Mountain, this place is more like a real ancient battlefield, with only ruins and desolation in sight.

"A monstrous beast with five thousand years of cultivation..."

Even though his divine sense had been suppressed to a radius of three hundred feet, Fang Yan could still clearly perceive that beneath those broken pieces of land, there were still malevolent thoughts staring at him.

"No matter where we are, there's no need to deal with these troublesome and worthless guys. Let's head over to Tachibana-senpai as soon as possible."

Fang Yan brought two fingers together, and a talisman radiating a blue light immediately appeared.

According to Wanbao Trading Company, the Xuanqing Escape Talisman is a top-tier life-saving talisman for escaping quickly.

The next moment, the talisman shone brightly with azure light, transforming into a ball of azure light surrounded by spiritual wind that enveloped Fang Yan's figure. In the blink of an eye, it left its original spot and flew towards the deepest part of the core area.

A moment later, the monstrous beasts formed from sand and stones finally appeared on the ground, but by then, the azure light had vanished without a trace...

The core area of ​​the ruins was not as large as Fang Yan had previously anticipated.

Using the speed of the Xuanqing Escape Talisman, Fang Yan swept across the area. In just half a day, he saw the bottom of the deep pit in the center, the rows of tombstones, and the black tower covered with chains.

At this moment, an orange cat appeared at the top of the tower, waving its front paws at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan immediately understood, and stepped onto the orange cat, bowing respectfully.

"Senior Tachibana, I have come as promised."

The orange cat nodded, then waved its paw towards the void, and a fragrant blue lotus appeared in front of Fang Yan.

Fang Yan's nose twitched slightly as he looked at the seemingly ordinary blue lotus in front of him with surprise. An instinctive desire to swallow it surged in his heart.

This thing is actually a rare and precious treasure that can make up for his missing source of energy.

【The Myriad Mysteries Azure Lotus: A rare and precious material born from the Sea of ​​Void, which can be used to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and enhance one's cultivation】

"I'm giving this to you as a token of my gratitude for killing that black energy first. If it had managed to possess my body and escape, I would have been in grave danger."

The orange cat spoke, its face still showing lingering fear.

"Now that I think about it, that kid named Qilian was so coincidentally forced into that special valley by those monstrous beasts, and then resurrected thousands of years later. It must have been that the black aura saw that I was weak and felt that the time was right, so it secretly manipulated the monstrous beasts to do it."

"He looked down on the talents of the four people in the group, so he tried to turn that boy named Qilian into a rare species, so that he could bring him back into the medicine garden to possess his body. Unfortunately, something went wrong. As soon as the boy was resurrected, he went crazy and ran away, and never came back."

"Until he met you this time, and was slain by your sword..."
