Chapter 98: No Need to Steal, It Will Be Given to You!



On a desolate plain, where the vast expanse of land was covered in shades of ochre. Occasionally, small patches of green added a touch of life and vitality. Small magical beasts would sometimes burst out, kicking up a puff of yellow dust before disappearing into the distance.

After a period of quiet, the void space suddenly rippled. Soon after, two figures- one tall and one short- emerged from the void. These two figures were, of course, Gu Fei and Zi Yan.

"So this is the Pill Realm..." Gu Fei hovered mid-air, scanning his surroundings. In the distance, he could barely make out the outlines of some mountain ranges. He noticed that the energy here was much denser than in the outside world, but it was filled with a violent element that was not conducive to human absorption.

Beside Gu Fei, Zi Yan curiously examined the area.

"Zi Yan, it's your turn to shine!" Gu Fei signaled to Zi Yan.

"Alright!" Zi Yan grinned and closed her eyes to begin sensing. Her ability to detect natural treasures far surpassed that of ordinary people. This was the primary reason Gu Fei had

brought her along to the Pill Realm for treasure hunting.

"I've sensed six spots. The herbs in those places should be quite good!" After a brief moment, Zi Yan opened her eyes and pointed out several special locations to Gu Fei.

With Gu Fei's current speed, traversing the entire Pill Realm wouldn't take long, so searching these six spots wouldn't be a problem.

An hour later, Gu Fei and Zi Yan arrived at the sixth location she had sensed as a possible treasure spot.

"Strange, there isn't even a green leaf in sight here. Could it be hidden underground?" Zi Yan wondered aloud as she slowly descended closer to the ground.

"This is not something you can eat!" Gu Fei admonished Zi Yan.

The item in Gu Fei's hand was Core Mother Jade, a miraculous jade stone formed over countless years by the earth's energy. When used during cultivation or alchemy, sitting on a seat made of this jade could significantly suppress violent energies within the body, reducing the risk of qi deviation.

"It's quite large..." Gu Fei observed the jade stone, which stood about half a meter tall and as wide as an arm span. Such a large piece of Core Mother Jade was nearly impossible to find in the outside world.

Next, Gu Fei's attention was drawn to the viscous liquid seeping from the edges of the jade. "Brother Gu Fei, what's this liquid? Can it be eaten?" Zi Yan had also noticed the liquid, thinking it must be delicious.

"If you want to eat medicinal herbs, I'll let you have your fill later. See those mountains over there? They're full of herbs, most of which have been hoarded by an eighth-rank magical beast. You won't even have to search for them..." Gu Fei pointed to a distant mountain range.

"Really?"

Zi Yan's eyes sparkled at the thought of so many herbs. Meanwhile, Gu Fei conjured a fire blade and carefully sliced across the surface of the Core Mother Jade. A thin slice of jade peeled away, revealing a walnut-sized cavity. Inside the cavity, faint white mist began to seep out. Gu Fei took a deep breath, and immediately felt a silent sigh of comfort emanate from his soul.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Gu Fei's hand moved swiftly, slicing away at the jade with his fire blade. After removing about half of the jade, a bowl-sized depression appeared, revealing a shallow pool of white liquid no deeper than a finger.

"It's really the Core Soul Marrow!" A smile spread across Gu Fei's face as he gazed at the viscous white liquid. All the effort had finally paid off.

Core Soul Marrow was an extremely rare treasure, capable of strengthening the soul. Even for someone like Gu Fei, with his advanced soul cultivation, it was highly beneficial.

"Brother Gu Fei, when are we going to steal that eighth-rank magical beast's herb stash?" Zi Yan's mind was still fixed on Gu Fei's earlier promise. She didn't dare to go alone against an eighth-rank magical beast.

"Don't worry, this time we won't need to sneak around. When we get there, that beast will willingly offer the herbs to you!" Gu Fei replied with a grin.
