Sovereign To Immortality Chapter 32 - Grain Stones

Just as the eight legacy murals were destroyed, the faint demonic qi that was originally emitted from the stone wall suddenly disappeared. Yang Junshan had also helped the Mengyu County eliminate the source of a disaster.

Although Yang Junshan had not fully recovered, the successful advancement to the Immortal Summoning Realm still allowed his strength to increase greatly. Amongst all the young cultivators that went into the mountains to hunt for celestial spirits, Yang Junshan's strength could be considered invincible.

Unfortunately, at this time, Yang Junshan's entire body was only left with this large carved bow and a pot of half iron arrows, and he could only run when he met Zhang Yueming and the rest.

After putting the little tiger back into his backpack, Yang Junshan who had exited the cave could further feel the different feelings brought about by the increase in his cultivation. It was as if his vision had become clearer, and his hearing had become more acute.

Retrieving the traces left behind by Zhang Yueming's group from the cove, Yang Junshan attempted to catch up to the traces left behind by these people. Unfortunately, it took him more than half a day to catch up to them and disappear along the edge of a mountain stream.

After that, Yang Junshan tried to search for the Treadmill bear's lair on his own. Unfortunately, under the situation where there were no tracks left to follow, wanting to find the Treadmill bear's lair in the Banyan Mountain was no different from searching for a needle in a haystack. Although Yang Junshan felt that it waity, in the end, he had no choice but to give up.

The mountain tiger and Treadmill bear had already started their demonification. Since the mountain tiger's nest had a demon clan inheritance and a source of demonic energy, did that mean that the Treadmill bear's nest also had a similar inheritance?

Be it to find the Treadmill bear's inheritance or to destroy the possible source of demonic energy, Yang Junshan needed to find the Treadmill bear's lair. Unfortunately, Yang Junshan was unable to explain this matter to others, and even more so, impossible to let everyone know about the demonic clan's inheritance.

Since he couldn't find the Treadmill bear's nest, Yang Junshan accidentally found a nest of Mountain Drill Rats. Mountain Drill Rats could at most be considered low level Vicious Beasts, but they did not give birth to Celestial Spirits in themselves. However, it was possible to find a low level Celestial Spirit called "Food Stone" in the nest of the Mountain Drill Rats.

During the process of collecting food, they would rely on their instincts to transport some foods rich in spirit energy to their nests for storage. Over time, the spirit energy essence in these foods began to gather and condense, forming a green stone-like crystal, which was the low-grade spirit energy 'grain stone'.

However, it was not easy to successfully nurture this kind of low-grade immortal spirit. First, one needed to store enough food in the mountain rat's nest, and also plenty of species, and at the same time, plenty of time. Finally, all of these foods were rich in spiritual energy.

These immortal spirits were mostly found in rat nests that had been pa.s.sed down for several generations. There were old nests that had been discovered for a long time, and some nests that had been discovered could havundred years of history.

In his opinion, the mountain rat nest that Yang Junshan had discovered should be a group of rats that had split up into groups not too long ago. Their nest would at most have several years of history, so it would be difficult for them to nurture an immortal spirit.

However, since he had already found the trail, he had to chase after it no matter what. He was afraid of anything that might turn out wrong.

Although they were also vicious beasts, their courage was very small. However, if they were forced into a corner, it would be troublesome if there were a group of ten or even a dozen Mountain Drill.

After finding a cave that was created by a Mountain Drill, Yang Junshan started to search the surroundings. Very quickly, he found a few more caves that a Mountain Drill could use, but Yang Junshan was only looking for immortals, not to capture all of them.

Through a few mouse holes, he determined the approximate location of the lair, and then, he started to dig into a mouse hole closest to the lair. Very quickly, the Mountain Drill, who was inside the cave, detected a movement, and a fat grey rat the size of a kitten scuttled out.

The stench of blood spread out, and a disturbance quickly appeared in the Mountain Drill, at this time, it was clear that Yang Junshan did not have the benefit of blocking all the holes, but these rats all scattered out, with about twenty of them running in different directions.

While Yang Junshan continued to dig holes, he also paid attention to the Mountain Drill, which had escaped from the holes of the surrounding mice. He realized that these Mountain Drill looked very plump, and this could be considered a good signal.

The Mountain Drill waype of berserk beast that had a strong sense of danger. Their instinct to store food prompted them to just barely survive even without a safe storage of food.

Therefore, in order to determine if a nest of Mountain Drill was rich enough to store food, one just needed to see whether the nest of Mountain Drill was fat enough. If the nest of Mountain Drill was strong enough to eat, then the food in the nest would be rich enough to make them feel at ease, and the richer the food, the higher the chances of them condensing immortal spirit were.

The Mountain Drill, who had fled in all directions, realized that the danger had disappeared and started to return. Squeak squeak sounds continuously sounded around Yang Junshan, trying to intimidate the person who was destroying their home. However, none of them had the courage to join hands to attack Yang Junshan.

Finally, following the collapse of a layer of dirt, a three-foot-tall nest appeared in front of Yang Junshan, and the various types of food stored inside practically filled the entire nest. Yang Junshan estimated that it was at least two stones tall.

Ignoring the more anxious shouts of the dozens of Mountain Drill, Yang Junshan used the Iron Feather Arrow to dig through the pile of food in front of him.

As the pile of food was unearthed, the disappointment on Yang Junshan's face became denser. He knew that even after changing the several hundred kilogram pile of food into a whole new piece of land, he still could not find any hope of winning.

Whaity!

Although he knew that his chance of winning wasn't high, Yang Junshan still felt a bit of a pity. He casually threw the arrow to the ground, but unexpectedly, the arrow directly flew a foot or so into the ground.

Yang Junshan exclaimed. It couldn't be that because after his cultivation had advanced, his strength had increased to such an extent!

As the layer of earth on the ground caved in, a foot-long storage nest for food once again appeared in front of Yang Junshan's eyes. The group of Mountain Drill Rats, who were initially clamoring in the surroundings, suddenly stopped.

It turned out to be a double lair. This group of mice were really smart!

Yang Junshan gasped in admiration, but he still started to rummage through the food in the lower levels of the den without hesitation. Very quickly, the Iron Feather Arrow in his hand found something, and rolled it out from a pile of plant seeds, roots, and nuts.

The jade-green crystal was round, and as it continued to roll across the ground, the light it contained began to circulate. This was the low grade immortal grain stone that was made from the essence of numerous plants.

Seeing that Yang Junshan had turned around and left, and that most of the food in the nest that was destroyed was indeed not lacking at all, the group of Mountain Drill immediately rushed back like a swarm of bees. They started to create a new nest under the original one, and then moved all of the food into the new nest to store.

He looked at the sky and saw that there was still more than half a day left before the Banyan Mountain Enclosure. Yang Junshan weighed the nuts in his hand and thought that it should be enough time for him to use them. Maybe he should take a look around.

The nut in Yang Junshan's hand was a seed formed from a type of bush. This kind of nut, on the other hand, was only a normal fruit.

This type of mushroom was not in itself a fairy, but it waype of low quality herb that could be used to refine medicinal pills, and even a type of medicinal pill. Yang Junshan knew that this was a type of medicinal herb which was extremely effective for middle level Mortal Realm cultivators to raise their cultivation, and the main ingredient used to refine it was this kind of mushroom.

Although Yang Junshan himself only knew how to concoct pills and nothing else, these Spirit Gra.s.ses could be used to exchange for Jade Coins s.

Although it was not a spirit gra.s.s plantation, there were still many spirit gra.s.ses growing within. In the past, when young cultivators entered the Banyan Mountain to hunt for immortal spirits, they would usually collect some spirit gra.s.ses and the like, which could be considered as an additional harvest.

However, perhaps it was because of Yang Junshan's good luck this time, but he did not find a single Spirit Gra.s.s during his stay in Banyan Mountain. Otherwise, with Yang Junshan's hundred years of experience, he would never miss a single one.

Now that he finally found a place with spirit herbs, Yang Junshan naturally would not miss this chance to obtain more.

However, just as Yang Junshan turned around a hillside and saw a patch of shrubbery filled with hope in the distance, an anxious shout came from afar: "Jingjing, quickly run, those things are about to catch up!"

Hearing that voice, it was Hao Zhuang who came from the same village, but he never expected that he was still alive, so Jingjing should be Xu Jing, and the two of them were actually together!
