Chapter 625: Chapter 624: Heaven-Defying Elixir Pill

Yes, it was a rare smile, which was why it looked so sinister.

Ghost Cultivator Shui Mian said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, don’t you guys think this woman is incredibly cold? Especially that smile. It feels like the air around us is about to freeze solid."

Ghost Cultivator Huo Mian had felt it too, of course. He ignored Shui Mian and instead addressed Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan, "Fellow Daoist, you must have mistaken us for someone else. We don’t know you."

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan’s smile vanished. She looked at the three Ghost Cultivators with a desolate expression. "So, you’ve already been replaced."

Then she added, "But it doesn’t matter. You’ll die all the same."

With that, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan made her move, launching a deadly assault. She was going to kill these three Ghost Cultivators.

Faced with Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan’s attack, the three Ghost Cultivators immediately joined forces to put up a Defense.

But to their surprise, she was far stronger than they had anticipated. Though they were all Tier Four, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

After just a few exchanges, their joint Defense shattered completely.

At that moment, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan attacked Ghost Cultivator Huo Mian.

BOOM!

Ghost Cultivator Huo Mian was sent flying, severely injured in an instant.

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan pressed her advantage, intending to kill them one by one.

Facing Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan’s onslaught, Ghost Cultivator Huo Mian knew he couldn’t possibly fend her off.

Out of desperation, he activated the Spatial Treasure.

As soon as the Magical Treasure was activated, a door materialized.

The moment the door opened, it released a terrifying aura of power.

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan immediately fell back. The aura was immensely powerful.

It was something even she, at her peak, could hardly compare to.

But she didn’t flee, because the person inside hadn’t emerged yet.

The door remained open for a moment, as if the person inside was confirming something.

Finally, a voice from within asked, "Where is the item?"

Ghost Cultivator Huo Mian replied, "Senior, please forgive us. We haven’t found the item yet. But our Cultivation is too low, and we were about to be killed. If we didn’t use the Magical Treasure now, we’d lose the chance forever. Then we’d never be able to get what you want."

The person inside the door fell silent.

Meanwhile, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan was constantly trying to break her Seal. Once placed, this particular Seal was incredibly troublesome; it would take several days to undo.

Just then, the voice came from inside the door again. "Fine. I’ll send a clone to make the trip."

He didn’t dare use his true body. Don’t ask why—if you did, he wouldn’t answer.

Everyone had seen what happened last time he’d sent so much as a hand through.

This matter was once again related to the Holy Land, so he didn’t dare to emerge himself.

’Better to send a clone to scout things out.’

As he said this, someone began to step out of the door.

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan frowned. She didn’t know the Cultivation level of the clone, but one thing was certain: it was far stronger than her current Tier Four.

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan snorted coldly. ’If I didn’t have urgent matters to attend to, I would’ve definitely killed those three Ghost Cultivators right here.’

With that, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan turned and left.

By the time the clone fully emerged, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan was long gone.

The figure that emerged was a middle-aged man, a great senior of the Ghost Cultivators known as Gui Jianchou.

He glanced in the direction Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan had fled but didn’t give chase. After all, he had his own objective.

There was no need to invite unnecessary trouble.

Obtaining what he wanted was the top priority.

He looked over at Ghost Cultivator Huo Mian. "Do you know the item’s location?"

Ghost Cultivator Huo Mian immediately replied with reverence, "Yes, we have a lead."

Gui Jianchou said, "Let’s go. Don’t waste any more time."

On the mountaintop, Mo Mingbei had fallen into despair—so much so that he was about to kill the next Spirit Beast that popped out himself.

He had constantly been striving. He’d fallen into despair, picked himself back up, and started over again and again.

But no matter how hard he tried, no matter how he persevered, no matter how many times he started over, a Spirit Beast would always jump out just as he was about to succeed.

Every single time. It was always the same.

He was enraged. He was furious. He was in despair. He was going to kill these goddamn things that couldn’t take a hint.

’Die! Just all of you, die!’

BOOM!

Whenever a Spirit Beast appeared, regardless of whether he could beat it, Mo Mingbei would use his Array Stones and charge in for a fight.

Then he’d start frantically eating grass.

That’s right, leaves no longer satisfied him. He now fought the Spirit Beasts while clutching a handful of grass.

’Bring it on! Let the Spirit Beasts come at me even harder!’

In short, Mo Mingbei had been broken.

After he finally managed to kill a particularly vicious Spirit Beast, Mo Mingbei suddenly froze.

Chewing on his grass, he looked at Jiang Zuo. "Someone just entered."

Jiang Zuo asked, "Not through the normal entrance?"

Mo Mingbei nodded. "Yeah. They opened a Space Gate to get in."

Mo Mingbei was, after all, the master of this place. As long as it hadn’t changed hands, his perception of the area was still very sharp.

At the very least, he wasn’t hallucinating.

Jiang Zuo said nothing. ’Someone with Spatial Power has arrived. This is not good news.’

Then, Mo Mingbei asked, "What do you think they’re here for?"

Jiang Zuo replied, "Your cave-abode is decent, but its true value is the core of the Locking Spirit Star. Those people probably don’t know about that."

Mo Mingbei was stunned. He never thought Jiang Zuo would know about that, let alone know about the Locking Spirit Star.

It was true. The core of the Locking Spirit Star was the true core of the cave-abode.

And while the inheritances here were powerful, someone who could comprehend Spatial Power would certainly look down on them.

Besides, it was impossible to just take the inheritances back with them, unless they moved the entire cave-abode.

But moving the cave-abode required dealing with the Locking Spirit Star core, and they didn’t even know it existed.

It was a new technology that almost no one knew about.

As for Jiang Zuo, he just happened to know about it from his past life.

Mo Mingbei calmed himself and asked, "Then why are they here?"

Jiang Zuo said, "The Celestial God Flower."

"What? There’s a Celestial God Flower here?" Mo Mingbei cried out.

Clearly, he had no idea there was a Celestial God Flower here.

Jiang Zuo was contemptuous. ’So this guy didn’t even know about the Celestial God Flower.’

Jiang Zuo then said, "No need to get so excited. The Celestial God Flower is useless to you. Even with its Divine Medicine properties, you wouldn’t be able to use it."

Mo Mingbei lowered his head and sighed.

’It seems that’s true... but what if?’

"So they’re here to steal the Celestial God Flower?" Mo Mingbei asked.

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "Theoretically, the Celestial God Flower isn’t that useful. Even if you use its Divine Medicine properties, it can only get you to Tier Nine Great Success at best."

"It would be a different story if they knew about the Celestial God Five Extremes Pill, though."

Mo Mingbei was speechless. ’What is this guy even saying?’

’The Celestial God Flower isn’t that useful? *Only* Tier Nine Great Success?’

’Would it kill you to stop bragging?’

’And what the heck is a Celestial God Five Extremes Pill?’

Duan Qiao and Sweet Potato were also on Jiang Zuo’s shoulder. Duan Qiao could ignore the first part of his statement, but it had never heard of the Celestial God Five Extremes Pill either.

So, it could only ask cautiously, "What is the Celestial God Five Extremes Pill?"

Jiang Zuo thought for a moment before replying, "It’s a type of Elixir Pill. After you take it, with the Celestial God Flower as the catalyst, your lifespan increases by five hundred times, and you get five chances to resurrect."

"Relatively speaking, it’s somewhat useful."

Duan Qiao nearly spat. Mo Mingbei was on the verge of cursing out loud.

’That thing is just *somewhat* useful?’

But on second thought, an Elixir Pill like that was heaven-defying.

How could something like that possibly exist in this world?

If it really existed, countless major figures would be scrambling to gather the materials and refine it.

He’d never even heard of it.

So, this guy had to be bluffing.
