Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

"Yes, yes." The group of Qingyun Sword Sect members hurriedly nodded.

He took out all his spiritual medicines, pills, and silver.

Seeing this, Gu Chen said, "And the precious weapons you use must also be left behind."

Resources and military equipment are the main components.

These people's treasured weapons are all of the Xuan rank, and are very popular swords, even more valuable than the samurai swords of the Yamamoto family.

We cannot let this opportunity slip by.

The Qingyun Sword Sect members were stunned; they hadn't expected Gu Chen to even try to snatch the precious swords from their hands.

They had no choice but to put the precious weapon down.

Seeing that they had all put down their weapons, Gu Chen said directly, "Get lost."

The members of the Qingyun Sword Sect were as if they had been granted a pardon.

He got up immediately and ran away, tumbling and crawling.

They were afraid that Gu Chen would change his mind and kill them with a single blow like before.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan didn't say anything more.

He couldn't understand why Gu Chen let the Qingyun Sword Sect group leave.

Logically speaking, Gu Chen had already killed one of their members, thus forging a deadly feud with the Qingyun Sword Sect. If he were to kill the rest of the Qingyun Sword Sect now...

There's also the possibility of keeping this a secret.

Now let them go.

That basically means it can't be hidden anymore.

If the Qingyun Sword Sect seeks revenge later, it will be very troublesome.

However, he couldn't figure out why Gu Chen did this, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He was not qualified to fathom the thoughts of a Core Formation Realm expert.

Now Gu Chen has saved him.

As agreed, he would take Gu Chen to find that grade-three spiritual herb.

Gu Chen stepped forward and collected all the resources and treasures left behind by the Qingyun Sword Sect members.

There are a total of fourteen precious weapons.

More than 39,000 taels of silver.

Three Huahai Pills and twenty-four Poqiao Pills.

More than thirty medicinal herbs.

The harvest was good.

Gu Chen put the items into his storage bag.

rear.

Xiao Fan was extremely shocked to see that Gu Chen actually had a storage bag.

Storage bags are something that top-tier forces' Grandmasters possess, which is quite normal.

But it's abnormal for Gu Chen, a rogue cultivator at the fourth-grade Core Formation stage, to possess it.

Or rather, Gu Chen, this rogue cultivator, is far too wealthy.

Moreover, Gu Chen had actually cultivated the ability to project his divine soul power externally and use the storage bag.

What kind of monster-like rogue cultivator is he?

Not only can one cultivate to the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm before the age of thirty-five, but one also has a storage bag.

In his mind, Gu Chen became even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Gu Chen put all these things into his storage bag, then turned to Xiao Fan and said, "Now tell me, where is that Grade-Three Heavenly Treasure you were going to tell me about? I saved you, and if I didn't have it, you know the consequences of lying to me."

Use the storage bag in front of Xiao Fan.

Gu Chen had no worries.

Anyway, he's not showing his true face right now.

Xiao Fan couldn't make sense of his true identity either.

Without storage bags to hold these things, he can't carry them, it's very inconvenient.

"Big brother, I'll take you there right away." Xiao Fan said, "Big brother saved me, so I wouldn't dare to lie to you. I do know the location of a third-grade heavenly treasure, but it's guarded by two fourth-grade Core Formation Realm demonic beasts. It won't be easy to get that heavenly treasure."

He dared not deceive Gu Chen.

He did indeed know the birthplace of a third-grade rare and precious herb.

However, the two fourth-grade Core Formation Realm demonic beasts guarding that place were far too powerful.

He couldn't get it.

We have no choice but to retreat.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Chen cautiously, afraid that Gu Chen might kill him if he got angry.

Because Gu Chen is only at the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm, if he cannot defeat those two Core Formation Realm Perfection Realm demonic beasts, he will not be able to obtain that Grade 3 rare and precious herb.

"Lead the way," Gu Chen said calmly.

He believed Xiao Fan's words to some extent; it was normal for rare and precious natural treasures to be guarded by demonic beasts.

It would be abnormal for a rare and precious plant of grade three to not be protected by a demonic beast.

What this kid said is probably true.

In this situation, he dared not deceive himself, otherwise he knew the consequences.

"Yes, yes." Xiao Fan nodded and immediately led the way for Gu Chen.

The two immediately set off.

Gu Chen stopped using his divine soul to continue searching for spiritual herbs.

Compared to these low-grade spiritual herbs, third-grade natural treasures are still more valuable.

A single grade-three rare and precious herb, if of high value, could easily be worth 200,000 taels of silver.

That location.

It is located on the edge of this secret realm, in a fiery mountain range.

at this time.

That place is the location of the Flaming Mountains.

The rock strata were as red as fire, and the surface was cracked with countless fine grooves. Scorching red steam kept gushing out, making the whole world swelter with heat waves.

Visible fire-attribute spiritual energy floated in the air, violent and raging, tearing apart everything around it, including grass, trees, and rocks. Ordinary cultivators below the Innate Realm who stepped into this place would have their meridians scalded by the high temperature and their blood and qi would become disordered and explode in a short time, without even needing an opponent to attack them.

Deep within the Flame Mountain, a massive canyon, hundreds of feet deep, stretches across the land, with a vast, boundless pool of lava at its bottom.

The surging, crimson magma boiled and churned, with giant waves of red lava rising and falling, and the scalding magma bubbles constantly bursting, emitting a hissing, ear-piercing roar.

The towering flames, carrying temperatures hundreds of feet high, distorted the view of the void, and the pure essence of fire in the world gathered here, becoming extremely concentrated.

In the very center of the lava pool, a solitary blue stone island, about ten feet in size, stands proudly, unmoved by the surrounding lava erosion and scorching.

Nestled among the rocks of the isolated island, a Grade 3 spiritual herb quietly blooms—the very Grade 3 rare and precious herb Xiao Fan spoke of, the Earth Core Mystic Ice Lotus.

The wondrous spectacle of ice and fire merging perfectly is on full display at this moment.

The surrounding area was an endless sea of ​​magma and fire, hot enough to melt even the most powerful Xuan-grade weapons. Yet, this Xuanbing Lotus was pure white and translucent, with layers upon layers of petals, as if it had been sculpted from millennia-old ice.

Each of its petals was surrounded by a faint, icy blue halo, and wisps of extreme cold emanated from the lotus, creating a ten-foot-wide ice barrier in the scalding magma.

The icy barrier isolated the raging heatwave. The forces of cold and heat collided violently, exploding into countless fine mists in mid-air, swirling and radiating divine light.

The lotus heart and stamens are pale gold, flowing with rich and mellow life essence, with subtle Daoist charm, faintly revealing the unique spiritual power of a third-grade spiritual medicine.

Although this Earth Core Ice Lotus is only a third-grade spiritual medicine, its effects surpass those of many second-grade spiritual medicines.

Because it can not only nourish the soul, but also cleanse the marrow and meridians with the power of ice and fire, purify the true essence, break through cultivation barriers, and even have a very small probability of comprehending the true meaning of ice and fire, making it very valuable.

It is a heaven-defying opportunity that many people at the Core Formation stage dream of breaking through to the Grandmaster stage.

However, obtaining it is not easy.

In this pool of lava, two demonic beasts, the Flame Demon Crocodiles, are guarding it, waiting for it to mature a bit more so they can swallow it and directly advance to the third-grade demonic beast level.

Both beasts were eight zhang long, their bodies covered with dark red lava scales. The scales were thick and hard, covered with ferocious lava patterns. Each scale was comparable to high-grade black iron. Lava dripping onto them would be instantly evaporated.

It was absolutely terrifying.
