Path to Heaven Chapter 246

The Crimson Flame Toad, which was originally floating on the surface of the water as if it was cultivating, suddenly felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, a layer of raging flames emerged from its two thick red sh.e.l.ls, instantly turning them into a fireball.

As the green-black Yin Qi wrapped around it, a series of 'chi chi' sounds rang out and the flames were immediately extinguished.

The Crimson Flame Toad let out a peculiar shriek. Two thick sh.e.l.ls suddenly opened up, and a silver-white colored inner core sprayed out from within.

This inner core spun around him as it poured out silver Pill Flames one after another to meet the green-black Yin Qi. For a moment, it seemed as though it was deadlocked.

"Chi", a red light suddenly shot out. The flames and silver Pill Fire released by this demonic beast couldn't obstruct it in the slightest, and directly shot into the soft golden flesh of the two sh.e.l.ls.

A bowl-sized hole appeared in the surface of the Scarlet Flame Toad's meat. The silver Pill Fire was extinguished and the greenish black Yin Qi seized the opportunity to rush out and cover the entire meat. Then, he lifted it up.

Immediately after, this mid-level fourth-ranked demon beast did not have any more life force left in it.

"Kid!"

However, Wei Suo, who caught the mid-rank 4 beast in an instant, frowned.

Just now, this demonic beast's alchemy fire had consumed quite a bit of his dark Yin Qi and required at least twenty to thirty times of dual cultivation to make up for the loss.

Right now, Xuan Sha and his extremely powerful consciousness were indeed the best combination in terms of collecting resources. It was an extreme combination, but it seemed that the beasts above the fourth level could not easily be captured directly with Xuan Sha Yin Qi, or else they would consume a large amount of Xuan Sha Yin Qi.

After accepting this lesson, as they continued forward, Wei Suo would try to kill any demon beasts above the middle rank of the third level with his magic tools. Only demon beasts below the middle rank of the third level and when collecting spirit medicine would he use his dark Yin Qi to directly capture them.

Fifteen or sixteen days later, Wei Suo and the others appeared on top of a large island in the Aura Sea.

The name of this large island was also rather tacky; it was called "Turtle Sh.e.l.l Island". However, its circ.u.mference was hundreds of miles, covered with all kinds of trees and plants.

This Turtle Sh.e.l.l Island was one of the main destinations of the trip for Wei Suo and Ji Ya. According to Huawei's notes, there were quite a few spiritual medicines growing on this island.

In the past fifteen to sixteen days, Wei Suo had been harvesting resources. The demonic beasts and spiritual medicines he had captured had already filled up the four storage sacs.

In the last two days, Wei Suo and Ji Ya had stayed on a coral reef island and had a thorough count of their surroundings.

Right now, Wei Suo had more than four thousand beast cores suitable to concoct various kinds of Gold Spirit Pills. The number of beast cores was sufficient, but the key laid in the ingredients in the recipe.

Ji Ya and the green-robed old man had spent a lot of effort to carefully combine the ingredients. Apart from being able to directly refine around two hundred of similar elixirs, the most likely ingredient for the elixir was a elixir named "Celestial Water Pill". The main ingredients for this Immortal Water Pill are the Level 3 Intermediate Water Type Demonic Core, Green Fairy Stalk, Dragon Whiskered Gra.s.s and Red Haired Gra.s.s. The medicinal effect of this pill was about twice that of the Golden Spirit Pill.

The stem of the Jade Immortal was a kind of long and slender stem and leaf plant that grew in water. The stem of the Jade Immortal was a kind of long, green, inner-hollow seaweed.

A few days ago, Wei Suo had discovered two large patches of these two objects in the sea. With a wave of his hand, he collected them, and he had enough Jade Immortal Stems and Draconic Flowers to concoct more than two thousand portions of Immortal Water Pills. However, Red Haired Gra.s.s was a spirit medicine produced on the land and along the way, Wei Suo had only collected five of them from two small islands.

Now, Wei Suo and Ji Ya only hoped that there would be more Scarlet Haired Gra.s.s on this "Turtle Sh.e.l.l Island".

The medicinal effect of this "Celestial Water Pill" was twice that of the Golden Spirit Pill, and the time it took to refine it was also about twice that of the Golden Spirit Pill. With Wei Suo's current cultivation level, he could cultivate twenty Gold Spiritual Pills a day. If it was the Immortal Water Pill, he could cultivate around ten of them.

According to Wei Suo's calculations, it would take him around two hundred and eighty days to break through from the fifth level of the Circulatory Cycle Realm to the first level.

If he could concoct 2,000 Immortal Water Pills, that would be equivalent to taking care of the pills he needed to cultivate for 200 days. As long as he could get rid of the remaining 80 days, that would be enough.

… ….

After looking at the entire "Turtle Sh.e.l.l Island" from the air, Wei Suo ordered the willow leaf-shaped flying magic tool to land at the southernmost tip of the island.

First, he very carefully took out the yellow, hill-like defensive magic treasure of the messy haired cultivator and held it in his hand. Then, he slowly took a zigzag path forward.

Every now and then, he would capture a few plants that could be used to make pellets, and Ji Ya would put them all into the storage bag.

Huawei's notes weren't wrong at all. The amount of elixirs on this island was indeed quite a lot.

Wei Suo continued to travel from the south to the north. After searching about a third of the island, he had already collected over 3000 different spirit herbs. There were also quite a few that had strong spiritual energy, but neither Ji Ya nor the green-robed old man knew of them.

"Golden Crown Flower!"

Suddenly, a look of pleasant surprise appeared in Wei Suo's eyes. About two thousand feet in front of him, there were five Golden Crown Flowers growing at the bottom of a mountain wall.

Golden Crown Flower was a type of flower that had black stems and leaves, but the flowers it grew were golden in color. It was like a chicken crest. This kind of spiritual medicine could also nourish one's spirit, just like the Spirit Cultivating Gra.s.s or Golden Spot Ginseng. Although this kind of medicinal herb was slightly weaker than the Spirit Cultivating Gra.s.s and even more incomparable than the Golden Spot Ginseng, it could still be considered an astonis.h.i.+ngly rare medicinal herb. Normally, if a cultivator could not find the Spirit Nurturing Gra.s.s, they would find the Golden Crown Flower to replace it. Right now, five Golden Crown Flowers were already equivalent to two stalks of Spirit Cultivating Gra.s.s.

Without hesitation, Wei Suo extended his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air. A dark green Yin energy surged out and shot towards the five Golden Crown Flower Claws.

When he saw the green-black Yin Qi was only about a hundred feet from the five Golden Crown Flowers, a green light suddenly gushed out from the cliff wall at the back and stopped Wei Suo's green-black Yin Qi.

Soon after, a cultivator with a strange appearance appeared in a low cave on the mountain wall.

This cultivator was short and fat, with long white hair hanging behind his head. He wore a black leather robe with short sleeves, and his face looked to be about sixty years old. The edge of the jade mirror was a seaweed like rune, but there were five carp like rune at the center of the mirror.

"Who was it that wanted to steal my Golden Crown Flower?" The moment this cultivator appeared, he revealed a vicious expression.

"Eh?"

Wei Suo was taken aback. This cultivator had stayed hidden in the cave behind the mountain walls, and the distance between him and the Golden Crown Flowers was about 500 feet. It was beyond the range of Wei Suo's spiritual sense, so Wei Suo could not sense his presence. Now, with a sweep of his spiritual sense, Wei Suo discovered that this cultivator's cultivation base was around the third level of the Perception Realm.

Without waiting for Wei Suo to reply, the white-haired cultivator with a fierce expression stretched out his hand and took out a peculiar magic treasure.

This magical equipment seemed to be carved from a yellow crystal and was a foot long. It was shaped like a sunflower. As he concentrated his True Essence, this Dharma treasure started to emit a yellow brilliance, which unexpectedly dispersed the white, dormant gas in the surroundings.

Very soon, the white hibernation aura within a hundred and seventy feet radius of this cultivator disappeared completely. It was completely empty, and the scenery was extremely clear.

However, when he saw that there were no signs of any cultivators within a hundred and seventy meter radius, the cultivator's expression immediately changed to one of fear.

Because he felt that the dark blue Yin Qi's power wasn't really amazing, he felt that the opponent's cultivation was much weaker than his, and was only using some kind of treasure to conceal his presence, so he couldn't sense his exact position. But now that he had brought out this treasure, the opponent seemed to have cast it far away from him, at a distance of one hundred and seventy feet.

"What, did you plant this Golden Crown Flower?" Sensing the cultivator's frightened expression, Wei Suo's eyes flashed. He intentionally let out a cold snort and used his spiritual sense to push against the cultivator.

"Junior is blind!" Sensing the shocking spiritual pressure, the white-haired cultivator immediately revealed a shocked expression and explained, "These few Golden Crown Flowers were not planted by this junior, but this junior discovered them before they were mature. This junior used many methods to hasten their growth, only then did these five flowers grow to such a state."

"Then what you mean is, these five Golden Crown Flowers are yours? I can't gather any more? " Wei Suo coldly snorted.

"Junior does not mean that." The originally vicious white-haired cultivator was drenched in cold sweat as he said, "These Golden Crown Flowers are extremely useful to this junior. This junior only wants to sincerely thank senior and leave two for me."

"Leave you two stalks?" Wei Sou remained silent as he said, "If you can give me some to my satisfaction, I can agree to your request and leave one or two Golden Crown Flowers for you."

Hearing that Wei Suo also seemed to have a way out, the white-haired cultivator immediately asked, "Senior, what kind of benefits do you want?"

"How many pills do you have that can be used to cultivate?" Wei Suo asked.

"I have over 150 White Water Pills." The white-haired cultivator hesitated for a bit before gritting his teeth and saying.

"There are only so many White Water Pills?" Wei Suo sneered and said, "Just these 150 White Water Pills are not enough." Otherwise, just on account of the fact that you dared to attack me, I can kill you. Give me all the spirit stones you have on you, and do you know where in this Searing Qi Sea there is a large amount of Scarlet Hair Gra.s.s? "

"I'm not an Aurous Core stage cultivator, there aren't that many White Water Pills on me!" The white-haired cultivator cursed wildly in his heart, but he didn't know that Wei Suo was just a bluff Fifth Sky of Circulatory Stage cultivator, and he didn't dare to be negligent as he took out the White Water Pill's pill bottle and spirit stone bag. At the same time, he replied, "Senior, this red hair gra.s.s, junior knows that there are quite a few of them on Devil Eye Island."
