Chapter 421 – Spirit Wine
In his previous life, there were no rumors that someone discovered the Tree Spirit Demon after breaking the restrictions, but it was obvious that the Tree Spirit Demon had just developed its first sliver of Spirit Demon Qi, and it was unlike Yang Junshan, who had broken his Spirit Sense from the very beginning, which was hard to detect.
It was likely that after the restriction barrier had been activated, the small tree demon had met with misfortune while being ignored by other cultivators. This was why no one knew about it.
Behind the forbidden curtain of light, there were fifty-seven gigantic trees that had been nourished by the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s spirit energy for quite a number of years. Other than Yang Junshan, who had been observing the two feet and a half tall sapling, the rest of the people were carefully searching for possible immortal spirits on the gigantic trees.
“I’ve finally found a high-grade immortal spirit core. This should be the heart of a tree?”
When he checked the twenty-sixth huge tree, Ning Bin finally dug ouiece of wood the size of one third of his palm from the center of the tree trunk.
Glancing at Yang Junshan who was carefully digging the soil under the small tree, Yan Qinxi said, “The ratio of twenty-six giant trees that we found is not small, but it’ity that most of them are mid to low quality.”
“I also found one here!”
Everyone looked over, only to see Su Baozhang jumping down from a huge tree, and taking out a crystal clear leaf from his hand, the lively fluctuation of spiritual energy proved that the leaf like Celestial Spirit waigh grade Celestial Spirit.
A total of fifty-seven huge trees, and everyone spent an entire day searching through the treetops to find a few Zhang deep tree roots. They found forty-seven immortal spirits, most of which were low quality ones, only fourteen of which were medium quality ones, and five high quality ones.
Lu Jing looked at the crowd, smiled at Yang Junshan who had just dug out the sapling and asked: “Little friend Yang, how do you think we should divide this Celestial Spirit?”
Yang Junshan pointed to the sapling, and said: “This sapling belongs to me, five high quality immortal spirits … .Yang family only needs one, and the rest are low quality immortal spirits, you guys can take care of it!”
The Tan Xi Sect and the Ning Family’s cultivators looked at each other, and Yan Zhong, who rarely spoke, asked: “Then Young Noble Yang, what is so special about this sapling that Young Noble was willing to usigh grade immortal spirit to exchange?”
Yang Junshan swept his gaze across him and said: “Nothing, don’t tell me that you didn’t realize that this sapling was absorbing spirit energy on its own. Although it is absorbing spirit energy very slowly, but I feel that this sapling is not ordinary.
Upon hearing this, everyone carefully examined the surroundings of the small sapling with their Spiritual Sense. Indeed, they found a trace of extremely light Spiritual Energy fluctuations. This small sapling was actually absorbing the Spiritual Qi on its own.
Lu Jing and Ning Qing looked at each other. The two of them were array masters, their spirit senses had been tempered using techniques, but after entering the first layer of the light screen, no one noticed anything amiss with the sapling. This meant that Yang Junshan’s spirit sense refinement was much better than theirs.
Although celestial spirits were precious, other than high grade ones, the other three parties would not care about such a small matter. Everyone quickly finished the immortal points in their hands. There were not many things that could catch anyone’s eyes after the first layer of light.
Everyone rested for a moment, after Yang Junshan placed the small sapling back into the storage bag, the three array masters started to survey the second layer of the restriction light barrier.
After about half a day, other than Yang Junshan who looked normal, Ning Qing and Lu Jing looked at each other.
Yan Qinxi became anxious and immediately asked: “Junior Master Lu, is this light screen extremely difficult to break?”
Lu Jing made a sound of “eh”, and with a strange expression: “It’s not that it’s extremely difficult to break through, rather, compared to the first layer of the light barrier, the second layer of the light barrier is not that hard to break through.”
Yan Qinxi asked curiously: “Didn’t they say that each layer of the light screen is more difficult than the previous one, and the deeper we go into the ruins of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, the harder it is?”
Everyone turned to look at Yang Junshan, but Yang Junshan still had that unfathomable smile, to the point that the corners of his eyes twitched, and he wanted to attack Yang Junshan.
In reality, Yang Junshan was also smiling bitterly in his heart. He was not used to the act that he was currently showing, but he himself had no other choice.
With the assistance of two veteran array masters, the speed of Yang Junshan’s array breaking technique was much faster. After half a day, following after two consecutive attacks from the crowd, the second layer of the light barrier was finally broken. And at this time, a thick aroma of wine drifted over from behind the shattered light barrier, straight to everyone’s noses.
“Good wine and good wine, this must be good spirit wine!”
The one who spoke was actually Yan Zhong. This old man’s eyes were glowing, it was obvious that he was an old Liquor worm, he never would have thought that the old man would actually take such a nice sip.
They passed through the broken light barrier and entered the second layer of light barrier. They saw a wine cellar that was mostly destroyed in the process of the collapse of Heaven-Shaking Peak.
There were probably more than ten urns carved from bluestone. The opening of the urns was sealed with slate and then the Soul Sealing Talisman was affixed to it. This way, the spirit wine stored in the cellar would taste better and the spiritual energy would not dissipate.
However, after the wine cellar had been destroyed, most of the jars of spirit wine had been broken, leaving only the Spirit Sealing Symbols stuck to the jars outside. The spirit wine had lost its power and became ordinary wine.
Everyone checked one by one, only leaving behind five undamaged green stone wine vats.
“These Spirit Wine should be the Seven Spirit Wine that has been stored in the cellar for more than twenty years. More accurately, they should be the Bone Strengthening Wine that has been brewed from precious Spirit Medicines.” These Spirit Wine should be the Seven Spirit Wine that has been kept in the cellar for more than twenty years; more accurately, they should be the Body Strengthening Wine that has been brewed from precious Spirit Medicines.
After hearing Yan Zhong explain the effects of the Seven Spirit Wine to everyone, they each took out their respective tools and started to divide the remaining five pots.
These five cyan stone vats were too big, and the storage magic tools in everyone’s hands weren’t willing to be filled up too early. They were only filled with some of the tools in their hands, and the ten people each divided two vats.
At this time, he saw Yang Junshan rummaging for something in his storage bag s, and after a while, Yang Junshan’s face lit up, and a palm-sized teapot appeared in his hand.
This teapot was the one that Yang Junshan had previously found in the secret room at the end of the Heaven-Shaking Seal Road. It was a genuine High quality magical equipment.
After Yang Junshan opened the lid of the teapot, he inhaled towards the remaining three cyan stone vats and poured the spirit wine within likeverse waterfall into the teapot. He knew that there was not a single drop left in the teapot, and then shook the teapot in his hand, only to discover that it was not completely filled.
Everyone once again meditated to recover the spirit energy that they lost while trying to break the formation. After that, Yang Junping and Su Baozhang began rummaging through the damaged wine cellar, hoping to find more useful things, but the things they found were mostly cultivation resources of low quality, and these things were naturally not placed in the eyes of cultivators in the late stage of martial arts realm or above, in the end they were all taken advantage of by the Yang family.
The harvest after the second layer of the hologram somewhat disappointed everyone. After resting for half a day and getting enough energy, everyone then placed their hope behind the third layer of the hologram.
Yang Junshan and the other two formation masters had already started investigating the third light barrier long ago. As expected, the third light barrier was still only slightly stronger than the second one, but Lu Jing found a weakness outside of the restrictions that Yang Junshan had broken.
Even though this discovery took another half a day, due to this weakness, Lu Jing had also set up a formation to weaken the power of the restrictions.
When the two formations activated at the same time, the third light screen was weakened to the point that it wasn’t even as strong as the first two light screens. Even without the three formation masters’ extra attacks, the others had already destroyed this layer of light twice in a row.
However, when everyone rushed to the third light screen in excitement, the final result was a great disappointment to everyone.
“spiritual plantation, how could it be this? And it was only a part of it, yet it was destroyed by the avalanche of the mudstones! ”
Among them, the one who was the most disappointed was Yan Qinxi, seeing that there were only oveundred spirit grasses remaining in the spiritual plantation, she, young miss Yan, naturally did not place them in her eyes.
There warace of disappointment on Ning Bin’s face, but he still continued, “Actually, we are already doing pretty well. Even elsewhere, after breaking through a barrier of light every time, we might not necessarily be able to get a decent harvest, and it’s not like there are no empty-handed people who have returned. After all, this Heaven-Shaking Peak is not necessarily filled with rare treasures, not to mention that it has been taken in by the various sects.
Most of them were spiritual herbs, and when concocting pills, each batch would require dozens or even dozens of different types of spiritual herbs. In fact, there would only be two or three spiritual herbs of the same level, and the rest would be supported by the spiritual herbs of the next level.
If it was used to refine, it would at least be enough as a main ingredient for thirty batches of Spirit Stage Pills. This was not a small amount, even if Tan Xi Sect wanted to refine thirty batches of Spirit Stage Pills in one go, it would still take a long time to prepare.
After everyone gathered all the Spirit Grasses, they prepared to break through the fourth light screen, causing Yan Qinxi to look uninterested, it was obvious that she was not too satisfied with the results from the first few layers, and only kept staring at Yang Junshan.
“Alright, alright, stop messing around. Maybe if we follow this path all the way down, we’ll find the corpse of a Daoist Master!” Yang Junshan had no choice but to comfort her.
