Chapter 22: Opportunity in Cave

Just as Yun Shang was about to leave Chiyan Valley."Roar" a beast roar sounded, Yun Shang turned around and saw that the flaming tiger that had just been fighting with the team suddenly went crazy.

None of the members of the team were a match for the flaming tiger, and several of them were seriously injured all over their bodies.

The leading male cultivator who was in the late tenth level of Qi training had his arm torn off by the flaming tiger, and the blood was gushing, which was a shocking sight.

Yun Shang was terrified by what she saw, and when several people saw that the situation was not good, they were so scared that they quickly ran away in all directions.

The direction in which a pretty girl with the ninth level of Qi training was running was exactly where she was now, and behind her was the mad flaming tiger?

"Wow, this girl is sick."

Yun Shang was so frightened that she trembled all over. She couldn't help but cursed inwardly. She quickly took out a second-grade high-quality wind-controlling talisman and stuck it on her back. She poured spiritual power into her feet and quickly fled towards the outside of the Red Flame Valley. Her speed was as fast as a shadow passing by.

The pretty girl saw Yun Shang running away quickly, and at such a fast speed? Her face turned ashen with anger.

She ran in this direction because she saw the little girl here and wanted her to help her lure away the Flame Tiger.

Who knew that the other party would actually turn around and run, and run so fast? This speed was almost not much slower than hers. How could this be the speed of a low-level cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training?

The pretty girl was dumbfounded, and at the same time, she was so angry at Yun Shang's escape that she gritted her teeth and glanced hatefully in the direction where Yun Shang disappeared.

When she found that the flaming tiger was not far behind her, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly attached a top-grade wind-controlling talisman to herself and fled from the Red Flame Valley quickly. Yun Shang stopped only after she had fled from the Red Flame Valley for dozens of meters.

"That was close." Yun Shang patted her heaving chest and took a few deep breaths before her breathing gradually stabilized.

Whether it was Moonlight Grass or Flame Flower? She had picked and collected them all. She had completed her first mission. Now she had another mission, which was to collect the poison needles of the young tail scorpion.

Unlike spiritual herbs and medicines, young scorpions do not have a specific growth environment, so you need to slowly look for them yourself. Fortunately, there are still many monsters of various levels in the Monster Forest.

The traces of the young tail scorpion were naturally not difficult to find. Soon Yun Shang appeared at the entrance of a cave covered with thorns and found traces of young tail scorpions.

If Yun Shang had not come to this place based on the traces left by the young scorpion, she would probably not have discovered that there was a cave here.

Using the magic weapon Small Golden Sword, she split open the surrounding thorny bushes, revealing a cave entrance that was only wide enough for one person to enter. Yun Shang first threw a fireball into the cave, and when she saw that there was no problem, she carefully lowered her head and entered the cave.

It was dark inside, the cave was narrow and long, and the cracks in the stone walls were covered with dense, opaque moss. Yun Shang took out a night pearl from her storage bag and held it in her hand. She held the magic sword Small Golden Sword in her right hand and walked carefully into the cave.

After walking a few steps inside, the long and narrow cave seemed to extend gradually downward in an arc shape. The further down you went, the richer the surrounding spiritual energy became, and there was a damp smell in the air.

After walking for about half an hour, Yun Shang seemed to faintly hear the sound of rushing water.

The surrounding space gradually became wider, as if they had reached the bottom of the cave. A faint ray of light could be seen seeping in from all around;

the moment Yun Shang stepped out of the cave passage.

"Wow!" Suddenly a black shadow rushed towards Yun Shang.

  Yun Shang quickly raised her high-grade magic sword Small Golden Sword to block it, and then quickly slashed at the black shadow that was attacking her from the opposite side.

 The black shadow saw Yun Shang attacking it, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps to avoid Yun Shang's sharp sword. With the help of the weak light around, she could see clearly what had just attacked her;

After a careful identification, she found that the creature in front of her was the second-level monster, the young tail scorpion that she had been looking for all the way. The young tail scorpion was three meters long and its body was pitch black. Its eyes could not be seen, and it seemed that its head could not be seen either.

The two large and powerful pincers in front are shaped like a pipa, with a hard shell and a slender and upturned tail. The second-level monster is equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training.

However, the strength of monsters is generally stronger than that of cultivators of the same level, especially the poisonous needle on the tail of the young scorpion is even more powerful.

Yun Shang did not dare to be careless. She pinched her fingers together and shouted softly.

"Thorn Magic." Instantly, two thorns extended from the ground and entangled the two huge claws of the young scorpion.

The young scorpion waved its eight legs and struggled to break free from the thorns that were entangled with it. Yun Shang pinched her jade fingers and made another magic gesture. Two thorns instantly grew rows of sharp barbs that stabbed towards the belly of the young scorpion.

Unfortunately, the shell of the young scorpion was too hard, and the previous attack failed to even pierce the skin. Yun Shang immediately fired several fireballs.

The fireball hit the scorpion's abdomen, burning it. The scorpion felt the pain and swept its long tail, instantly sending a poisonous needle towards Yun Shang.

Yun Shang quickly summoned the Earth Shield, which immediately blocked the attack of the young scorpion's poisonous needles. When the young scorpion saw that its first attack missed, it threw out another row of poisonous needles, which were all blocked by Yun Shang's Earth Shield.

The young scorpion seemed to be aware of the opponent's strength and wanted to escape.

Yun Shang noticed the actions of the young scorpion and her eyes flashed. Her second task was to collect the poison needles of the young scorpion. Now that the young scorpion was right in front of her, how could she let it slip away from her so easily.

Then, a fire ball appeared in an instant, looked extremely gorgeous and dazzling in the dark cave.

The power of Fireball Technique is not that great, but it can't stand continuous output of technique. The young scorpion was unable to bear it and was instantly burned into charcoal.

"Huh, it's finally solved."

Yun Shang walked over to the charred body of the young scorpion, used the top-grade magic weapon Small Golden Sword to remove the poison needle from the young scorpion's tail, and then stuffed it into a storage bag.

Yun Shang looked at the charred shell of the young scorpion again, feeling secretly sorry. If it hadn't been burned so badly, the shell of the young scorpion would have been a good material for refining weapons.

Yun Shang threw the corpse of the young scorpion to the bloodthirsty demon vine in the space. After doing this, Yun Shang began to look around the environment at the bottom of the cave.

At the bottom of the cave, there is a deep dark spiritual spring! Like a deep dark ancient mirror, in the center of the spiritual spring, there are two seven-color lotus flowers quietly blooming, emitting a faint white light, which looks particularly beautiful and holy in the dark and deep spiritual spring. It looks about three hundred years old.

Yun Shang's eyes lit up, and the surprise and shock in her eyes were obvious. These were the Soul Nourishing Spring and the Seven-Colored Lotus. She seemed a little bit unbelievable.

The Soul-Nourishing Spring and the Seven-Colored Lotus are not ordinary things; they can be considered as natural treasures. Yun Shang's eyes were burning with excitement as she watched.

As the name suggests, the function of the Soul-Nourishing Spring is to nourish the cultivator's consciousness and soul. It is rare even in the world of cultivation. As for the Seven-Colored Lotus, it is the companion spirit in the Soul-Nourishing Spring and the main ingredient in refining the Soul Pill.

As the name suggests, the Soul Pill is a pill that nourishes and repairs the consciousness and soul of a cultivator. You must know that once a cultivator's consciousness is damaged, his cultivation will stagnate.

Moreover, before the spiritual consciousness is restored, one cannot practice cultivation temporarily. In the world of cultivation, elixirs and natural treasures that can nourish and repair spiritual consciousness are relatively precious.

The Nourishing Spirit Pill is different from the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Pill. The Nourishing Spirit Pill is a third-level pill that can only nourish the spiritual consciousness, while the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Pill is different. It is a seventh-level pill.

No matter how severely a cultivator's consciousness and soul are damaged, one Soul Pill can restore them to their original state. The value of the Soul Pill does not lie in its high grade.

Moreover, the main ingredient for refining the Soul-Nurturing Pill, the Seven-Colored Lotus, is too difficult to find. Because the Seven-Colored Lotus usually grows in the Soul-Nourishing Spring, this makes the Soul-Nurturing Pill rare and precious.

Yun Shang walked to the spiritual spring, lowered her head and quietly looked at the soul-nourishing spring in front of her. In addition to the two three-hundred-year-old seven-color lotuses, there were also five or six black stone-like objects the size of eggs, and several silver spirit fish swimming in it. The appearance of these spirit fish was like a shuttle, with a slender tail and the color was like silver.

Yun Shang felt that this fish looked familiar. Wasn't this the Silver Moon Tail Fish recorded in the book on world spiritual creatures in her space?

According to the records in the World Spiritual Objects Records, the Silver Moon Tail Fish has the function of strengthening the soul. Regular consumption of the Silver Moon Tail Fish can not only strengthen the soul, but also condense the soul. This is a rare good thing, and its function is basically the same as the Soul Nourishing Spring.

However, its efficacy is much worse than that of the Soul-Nourishing Spring. After all, the Silver Moon Tail Fish grows along with the Soul-Nourishing Spring.

Yun Shang reached into the Soul-Nourishing Spring and fished out a black egg-sized stone-like object. After a long time, Yun Shang was able to identify it. She murmured uncertainly, "Could this be the Soul-Nourishing Stone?"

In fact, Yun Shang had never seen the Soul-Nourishing Stone, but she had seen some related records about it in the World Spiritual Objects Chronicle.

According to the records in the World Spiritual Objects Records, Soul-Nourishing Stones generally only appear in the Netherworld or in places with extremely heavy yin energy. How could it appear here now? Yun Shang's eyes flashed with curiosity.

His eyes swept across the Soul-Nourishing Spring that looked like an ancient black mirror, and the seven-colored lotus standing quietly in the Soul-Nourishing Spring. He suddenly murmured, "No wonder there is a Soul-Nourishing Spring here. It turns out it's all because of these Soul-Nourishing Stones."

Everything can be explained now, because of the existence of the Soul-Nourishing Stone, the Soul-Nourishing Spring is given birth to. After the Soul-Nourishing Spring is formed, the Seven-Colored Lotus and the Silver Moon-Tail Fish grow out of it. All of this is due to the Soul-Nourishing Stone, so the efficacy of the Soul-Nourishing Stone can be imagined.

Since it was a good thing, there was no reason to let it go. With a slight wave of her hand, Yun Shang collected the entire Soul-Nourishing Spring into her space and placed it on the other side of the wooden house, opposite to the original location of the Spiritual Spring in Yun Shang's space.

Yun Shang's consciousness exited the space and looked down. Where the Soul Nourishing Spring had originally been, there was now only a huge pit. She looked around and saw that there was nothing else. Then she turned around and followed the path she had come from, directly out of the hidden cave.

Yun Shang's lips curled up slightly. Her luck today was really amazing. Not only did she complete the task, but she also obtained a rare treasure from the world of cultivation.

Whether it is the Soul-Nourishing Stone and Soul-Nourishing Spring, or the Seven-Colored Lotus and Silver Moon-Tail Fish, if any of these items were discovered by other cultivators, it would probably trigger a scramble for them.

 Now that the mission has been completed, Yun Shang does not plan to go back so soon. Although she came here to complete the mission, the more important reason is to gain experience.

Now that she had come to the Monster Forest, how could she not have some good training? Having made up her mind to train, Yun Shang naturally picked some monsters with a cultivation level comparable to her own to hone her combat effectiveness.
