Mortal: I'm in Tianxing City, intelligence updates daily.

Li Shizhou replied calmly, "Yes, let's go and hurry through this haunted place."

Having just expended a lot of magical power, for safety's sake, he took out a jade bottle and drank the spiritual liquid inside. This was the "Return to Origin True Dew" that Senior Brother Pei Ze had given him, and he had only taken a sip before.

Wen Qiao'er agreed and continued walking side by side with Li Shizhou.

After walking for a while, a light screen appeared within the range of his divine sense, and Li Shizhou quickly put Tihun into his spirit beast bag.

Wen Qiao'er breathed a sigh of relief and returned the wooden plaque made of soul-nourishing wood.

The journey so far has been relatively peaceful, with only some weak wandering spirits being easily devoured by the Howling Soul Beast.

Upon entering the array's light barrier, one finds a circular space hundreds of feet wide, completely different from the billowing mist outside. Inside, countless exotic flowers and rare herbs are planted, and several jade pavilions form a circle.

More than twenty cultivators had gathered in the space, some sitting cross-legged on the ground, others standing and admiring the scenery.

Both righteous and demonic Nascent Soul cultivators were included in this group, and the two law enforcement elders of the Star Palace sat between these two groups of Nascent Soul elders, intentionally or unintentionally.

In the original book, a teleportation array leading to the next level would appear here after a while, so Li Shizhou was not in a hurry. He and Wen Qiao'er found a secluded corner to sit down and rest quietly.

Not long after, Old Demon Han, an old man in gray, and Fairy Ziling walked in.

A full day later, on the flat ground in the middle of the jade pavilion, after a series of loud rumbling sounds, a teleportation array appeared out of thin air.

As usual, the two law enforcement elders of the Star Palace gave their explanations, and then stepped onto the teleportation array and disappeared.

This teleportation array does not teleport cultivators to different locations.

Li Shizhou was in a hurry to escort Wen Qiao'er to refine pills, so he set off early this time.

After a slight dizziness, the view before me brought a sense of relief.

What greets the eye is blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and green mountains.

The air was filled with the fragrance of various flowers and plants.

Compared to the previous "Land of Ghosts and Vengeances", this place feels like a paradise.

Wen Qiao'er, who was standing to the side, also found it quite novel. After standing there for a while, she took out a magic artifact, probed it with her divine sense, and said, "Senior brother, let's go. Refining pills is the priority."

After Li Shizhou agreed, Wen Qiao'er set off in a certain direction using her escape technique.

Along the way, the two flew at least three or four thousand miles before stopping, and in the distance, there were still endless mountains and grasslands.

This suggests that the space here is likely tens of thousands of miles wide, and the spiritual energy is extremely rich. If one could frequently enter and leave this place, one could probably harvest a lot of spiritual herbs.

"Senior brother, the medicinal herb is on that small hill. Let's go down there," Wen Qiao'er said, pointing to an inconspicuous hill a few miles away.

"Okay." Li Shizhou nodded.

A moment later, the two landed at the foot of the hill.

Wen Qiao'er took out a magic artifact, cast a spell, and after a burst of light and shadow distortion, a small tree, no more than a foot tall, appeared on the ground that originally looked like only weeds. More than a dozen crystal-clear white spiritual fruits hung on it, and a fragrance of fruit wafted from it.

Looking at the spiritual fruit on it, Wen Qiao'er's face lit up with joy.

He explained to Li Shizhou, "This fruit tree was discovered by chance by a Core Formation cultivator from the Star Palace nine hundred years ago. It is now ripe and has brought great benefits to us descendants."

After she finished speaking, she set up a small array and then built a simple alchemy ground to begin refining pills.

Li Shizhou stood guard by his side.

Although there is no earth fire here, the Star Palace has long prepared an array that can generate stable flames, but it is much more expensive than using earth fire.

About an hour later, the golden panel refreshed.

[Daily Opportunity Information]

[Area: Thirty li]

[An: About fifteen miles behind you, there are eight 1200-year-old Demon-Suppressing Herbs. This spiritual herb is the core ingredient for refining the Infant Demon Pill. Once obtained and refined into a pill, it can greatly reduce the mental demon tribulation during the formation of the Nascent Soul, and is of great benefit to the formation of the Nascent Soul.]

Looking at the contents above, Li Shizhou's heart pounded wildly.

"Demon-Suppressing Grass" is a famous spiritual herb, and the "Infant Demon Pill" refined from it is a pill that Core Formation cultivators fight tooth and nail for, and its quantity is extremely rare.

There's no other reason than that Core Formation cultivators who want to advance to Nascent Soul must undergo extremely painful trials of inner demons. Many Core Formation cultivators finally manage to form Nascent Souls, but fail to overcome these inner demon tribulations, and their cultivation returns to the world.

The late-stage Core Formation cultivator from the Gu family of Li Cang died from the inner demon tribulation.

Although Li Shizhou didn't know how to refine pills, the Star Palace had been searching for this kind of spiritual medicine.

As far as he knew, the other materials for refining the "Infant Demon Pill" were easy to find, and the refining difficulty was not very high.

The reason why this elixir is so rare is naturally because the "Demon-Suppressing Grass" is hard to find.

"As expected of the Void Heaven Palace, they even have such spiritual herbs."

The distance of fifteen miles was not far. Li Shizhou informed Wen Qiao'er and then took out several sets of formations and set them up around the area.

It includes a set of "Spirit Binding Array", a secret array of the Qingyang Sect, which is extremely effective in concealing one's aura. It was created by Li Shizhou after decades of study and practice.

Even after doing all this, he still felt uneasy, after all, it was something a Nascent Soul cultivator had instructed him to do, and he couldn't be careless.

So he also released the level six Purple-Eyed Bi.

After giving the order to protect Wen Qiao'er, Li Shizhou flew off into the distance.

After flying for more than ten miles, Li Shizhou still couldn't find any trace of the "Demon-Suppressing Grass" within the range of his divine sense.

Over the years, the opportunity information panel has never made a mistake, so he was not in a hurry and waited until he arrived at the location to search carefully.

After searching for a while without success, he summoned Mo Li Beast Dog again.

The dog carried him through the nearby underground for a while, and after a short time, they entered a small underground cave.

"So that's how it is. This cave contains minerals that can absorb divine consciousness. No wonder we couldn't find it."

After entering, he scanned the cave with his divine sense and discovered that it had the effect of weakening divine sense.

They also found eight small blue grasses, no more than a few inches tall, which looked quite ordinary.

He took out several jade boxes and carefully removed the blue grass by the roots, then sat on the Mo Li Beast and emerged from the ground again.

As soon as he emerged from underground, two Core Formation male cultivators appeared in his field of vision not far away.

One of them was at the mid-stage of Core Formation and was wearing a purple cultivator's robe.

Another person had a black, rat-like monster, about half a foot in size, with an unusually long nose, perched on his shoulder. This person was at the early stage of Core Formation cultivation.

"The Spirit-Seeking Weasel." Li Shizhou recognized the rat-shaped monster.

This beast has little combat ability, but it is an excellent helper in finding medicinal herbs in the wild.

Judging from their hostile demeanor, they most likely intend to steal the elixir.

Upon approaching, the cultivator in purple robes said, "Fellow Daoist, why are you picking the spiritual herbs cultivated here by my Myriad Laws Sect?"
