Chapter 59: Misty Forest

Yun Shang wandered around the misty forest for a long time but couldn't find the Heart-Eating Grass. Could it be that they had all been picked? That shouldn't be the case. Although cultivators are greedy, they generally won't do such things as exterminating spiritual plants. There must be other places that haven't been found, Yun Shang thought.

Yun Shang stayed in the misty forest for a few more days, but still didn't see any trace of the Heart-Eating Grass. There were many monsters in the inner area. During this period, she carefully avoided the monsters in the forest and had a miserable life. It turned out that experience really trains people.

She kept the same action, held her breath, and gathered her spiritual energy for nearly a day. Yun Shang had never thought she could do this before. But when faced with a group of densely packed five-poison rats passing by, she dared not hide in a big tree, gathered her spiritual energy, put on an invisibility talisman, and remained motionless waiting for the five-poison rats to pass. How many rats are there in this forest? Are they all out this time? Yun Shang secretly sighed that she was unlucky. The same happened in Shengyang Valley. She was chased by a group of blood-yang poisonous spiders, and now there is another group of five-poison rats.

After all five poisonous rats passed, Yun Shang stayed on the tree for a long time before going down to the ground. It was getting late, and it seemed that she would not be able to find the Heart-Eating Grass today.

It is not known whether she had good luck or bad luck. Yun Shang encountered the fog change that occurs once every hundred years in the Misty Forest. In the periphery, the cultivators had no effect, but in the inner circle, the impact was great.

During the period when the fog changed, various monsters in the inner circle rioted. They had to find a new place suitable for cultivation, so at this time the monsters in the inner circle were rampant everywhere. If they accidentally encountered them, they would probably die.

The change in the mist is actually a change in the distribution of spiritual energy in the Misty Forest.

The spiritual energy in the original dense area may become denser, or it may become thinner than before. Therefore, the change in the mist can also be said to be a new division of forces among the monsters in the Misty Forest. The strong ones can naturally compete for the places with dense spiritual energy. The group of rats Yun Shang encountered was robbed of their territory by high-level monsters, and then driven out to find a new place to practice.

Fortunately, my luck was not too bad. Apart from encountering a large number of five poisonous rats, I did not encounter any other types of monsters migrating collectively. Yun Shang was looking for the Heart-Eating Grass everywhere, so she also noticed the changes in the inner area of ​​the Misty Forest. The fog in the inner area seemed to be constantly changing. No wonder I couldn't find the Heart-Eating Grass, Yun Shang thought to herself.

The monsters in the inner circle were basically level 5 or above. Yun Shang even encountered an eight-level two-headed golden snake, which frightened her so much that she thought she might die. But fortunately, the two-headed golden snake just passed by and left quickly without even looking at Yun Shang, as if it was in a hurry.

Yun Shang encountered several groups of high-level monsters, but they ignored her and rushed away. They must be going somewhere, and they are in a hurry. After encountering more high-level monsters, she became calm. Anyway, they ignored her. She thought about whether to follow the monsters to see what they were doing, but then she thought it was better to forget it. Her life was more important.

Finally, her efforts paid off. She found the Heart-Eating Grass. She found it in the valley between two peaks. It grew in a very secretive way. Yun Shang checked it many times, but she didn't find any monsters. She guessed that they all ran away to a certain place. There must be some treasure that attracted them. She was itching to find it.

After a preliminary visual inspection of this patch of Heart-Eating Grass, it turned out that there were some that were hundreds of years old. It seemed that no cultivator had discovered this place where Heart-Eating Grass grew. In fact, if it hadn't happened that the fog had changed, Yun Shang wouldn't have been able to get in here at all. In addition to the natural fog, there were high-level monsters stationed on the two peaks around. If you want to pick these Heart-Eating Grasses, you have to fight them first.

Fearing that the monster would come back, Yun Shang quickly put several Heart-Eating Grasses that were over a hundred years old into the jade box, and then moved a number of older ones into her space. Finally, she began to collect the ones from the sect missions. She left some younger ones to continue growing and reproducing, and then left Jiagu quickly.

Since many high-level monsters are not here now, why not see if there are other spiritual plants? Yun Shang thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so she dug spiritual plants everywhere in the inner area. When those monsters come back, they will probably howl to the sky.

There were actually three hundred-year-old purple ginsengs, the main ingredient for refining the fifth-grade vitality pill. Yun Shang excitedly took out the jade box and planned to pick them for planting in the space. But she was reluctant to leave one behind, as she had to leave some for the guardian monster.

Huiling Zhu Fruit is the main ingredient used to refine Huiling Pills. It is quite common. There is such a large patch of it growing here, so you might as well pick some.

Ksitigarbha flower, a spiritual plant needed in many elixir refining, can better promote the fusion of spiritual medicine liquid, and has a great effect. The older it is, the stronger the promotion effect. High-level alchemists basically need this kind of spiritual plant. Yun Shang moved all the older ones to the space, and selected some of the rest and put them into the jade box for backup.

The Vitality Bone Flower, the main ingredient for refining the Body Shaping Pill, is a spiritual plant that cannot be found even on Yunhai Peak. I didn't expect to find it here. Yun Shang excitedly moved most of the Vitality Bone Flowers of various years into the space, and then put a few older ones into the jade box. She didn't pick them all, and left a lot for the guardian monster.

I didn't expect that there were so many high-level spiritual plants in this misty forest. This trip was absolutely the right decision.

Before Yun Shang knew it, she had arrived at a dangerous cliff. There was nothing on the entire cliff except for two fruit trees, which were only about one meter high. Each tree had seven or eight fruits. The fruits were bright red, and from a distance one would think there were rubies growing on the trees. But Yun Shang knew that they were not rubies. They were blood bone fruits, a natural treasure.

Blood Bone Fruit, this fruit has no effect before it matures. After it matures, if a 12th-level monster eats it, it can directly transform; if other low-level monsters eat it, their cultivation can also increase by one level. It is also effective for cultivators. Generally, cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage can use the Transformation Pill to impact the Transformation God; but there is a better way to advance, that is to directly eat the Blood Bone Pill to impact the Transformation God without any side effects. When cultivators take pills to advance, there will generally be some side effects.

Yun Shang felt that she was lucky to have encountered so many high-level spiritual plants this time. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. After a long while, Yun Shang gradually calmed down. No, it was impossible that there would be no other cultivators or monsters competing for such a natural treasure. Monsters, yes, the monsters she encountered before must have come for the blood bone fruit. Thinking of this, Yun Shang broke out in a cold sweat, and then quickly restrained her breath to minimize her presence.

Why is there no monster? Something is wrong. Yun Shang carefully checked the surrounding environment, but there was indeed no monster. What could be going on? Could it be that the fruit is not ripe yet, so the monster has not come yet? Definitely not, it must be hiding somewhere.

Yun Shang carefully released her spiritual sense, slowly reaching out to the Blood Bone Fruit Tree. Just near the Blood Bone Fruit, several powerful spiritual senses suddenly shot towards her, and Yun Shang immediately retracted her spiritual senses. Now she was leaning against a stone wall with a pale face. Those spiritual senses just now definitely not what a Jindan stage cultivator could possess. For a Yuanying stage cultivator, the monster should be at level ten or above. It's not that there are no monsters, they are just not on the cliff, they are all under the cliff, densely packed.

 There were no high-level monsters in this misty forest, and the highest were only level seven. How come there were so many monsters above level ten? She had wanted to fight for the Blood Bone Fruit before, but now she just wanted to leave safely and not get caught in the fight between those high-level monsters.

The blood bone fruit is getting brighter red, so I guess it's almost ripe.

Everyone, the fruits are about to ripen, let's talk about how to divide them. "A golden bear said that monsters above the tenth level can speak human language.

"How to divide it? Of course, it goes to whoever has the bigger fist," said a colorful snake.

"Brothers, please stop arguing. Let's not fight among ourselves for now. When the repairmen arrive later, there will probably be a fierce battle." said a red fox.

"I've been waiting for this change in the fog for thousands of years. The Blood Bone Fruit is finally about to mature. Do I have to share it with others?" the golden bear said fiercely.

"No one wants to share this kind of natural treasure with others, and I wonder how many people will come from the human cultivators' side?" A white wind bird said. "This time, the blood bone fruit is ripe, and there are as many as fifteen of them. We should not fight among ourselves and let the human cultivators take advantage of it. When the fruit is ripe, we can pick it according to our own abilities. But if the human cultivators come, we still have to fight them together."

"Human cultivators are so cunning, we have to be more careful!" said the red fox.

"Almost all the monsters in the inner circle have come this time. They are such idiots. Aren't they coming here in such a large scale to tell people that there are rare treasures here? It really makes me angry to death," the red fox continued.

"It's already like this. I just hope the cultivators don't take it seriously, or that the cultivators who come have lower cultivation levels," Fengniao said.

"Why don't we just wait until we pick the blood bone fruit before coming back?" said Golden Bear.

The other monsters rolled their eyes silently in their hearts.

Suddenly, the monsters were silent. Yun Shang looked at the blood bone fruit. It was about to mature. It was estimated that these fruits would be obtained by the four monsters. There would definitely be a fierce fight later. Yun Shang slapped the invisibility charm, defense charm, and quick travel charm on her body, ready to leave at any time. She was sure that if she moved now, she would definitely be killed by the monsters.

In an instant, the entire cliff was ablaze with colors and the fragrance of fruit filled the air. The Blood Bone Fruit was ripe. It was a pity that I couldn't get it, Yun Shang thought regretfully. The four monsters quickly ran towards the Blood Bone Fruit, and Yun Shang was about to turn around and run. Suddenly, a muffled sound came, and a strong pressure attacked her. Yun Shang immediately fell down and spit out a large mouthful of blood. From a distance, a pool of blood suddenly appeared on the cliff, but fortunately everyone's attention was on the Blood Bone Fruit, and no one noticed it.
