Chapter 287 - Red Essence



Chapter 287 – Red Essence

Not long after Zhang Sunxing, Yan Qinxi could no longer hold on, the Five Elements Formation caused Spirit Qi to surge and surge, causing the Spirit Qi in the cultivator’s body to become even more volatile and serious.

This time, it was Yan Qinxi herself who made the move. Under Yang Junshan’s guidance, the Great White Golden Light Slash was completely weakened by her, turning intiece of scattered light that scattered outwards.

But in the end, it was his first time using it, so he did not have enough control over the flames, and the beams of light had a bit of sharp power. If not for Yang Junshan’s help, he would have pierced holes in his clothes.

But when the gold light shone out, it also suppressed the disordered Spirit Qi around her, Yang Junshan shook her head and said, “In the end, it is still a killing technique, although it can suppress the Spirit Qi flow, the effects are still lacking!”

Yan Qinxi snorted lightly and turned her head. She smiled slightly and naturally didn’t mind.

At this time, Zhang Yueming suddenly let out a surprised cry, and when everyone looked over, they saw him pointing at a stone pillar: “Five Elements Spirit Stones?”

Yang Junshan’s perception in a small radius far exceeded that of cultivators of the same cultivation level. Yang Junshan had actually sensed this stone long ago, thus he laughed: “Brother Zhang, it is only a stone with the five elements on its surface. If you shatter it, it would look like a normal stone.”

Zhang Yueming still could not believe it, he took the stone in his hand and pinched it hard, causing the stone to instantly disintegrate into several pieces like he was holding on to rotten wood. The inside of the stone did not have the slightest bit of spirit energy dissipating, it was only a normal stone.

Seeing the regret on Zhang Yueming’s face, Yang Junshan laughed and asked: What, Brother Zhang needs Five Elements Spirit Stones?

Zhang Yueming did not hide anything, and said: “It is also not a Spirit Stone, as long as it is a five star spirit stone, then it is fine. I havype of spirit pill that requires this pill to neutralize the spirit energy.”

Yang Junshan said: “The depths of the stone forest is the inner layer of the Five Elements Formation, the spirit energy there is more abundant, maybe you have something that Brother Zhang needs.”

Zhang Yueming shook his head: “It depends on luck!”

Just as Zhang Yueming’s voice fell, he saw Yang Junshan, who was walking in front, suddenly take two steps forward and squatted down. Everyone thought that something was amiss with the array, but suddenly they heard a light laugh from Yang Junshan, and said: “Clear Spirit Grass, heh, the Five Elements spiritual energy is useless against the stone fragments, but if it is on the Spirit Grass, it is not necessarily so.”

When Yang Junshan stood up, a seven leaf green grass appeared in his hand, he looked at Zhang Yueming and said: “Brother Zhang, the Pure Ling grass is only an extremely ordinary low grade spirit grass, but the seven leaves of this spirit grass are stained with the five elements, what do you think?”

Zhang Yueming sighed, and said: “I can’t believe that Brother Yang has such a deep understanding of spirit grass, in my eyes, the value of this Clear Spirit Grass is not inferior tigh quality spirit grass, if Brother Yang is willing to part with it, I am willing to use either Jade Coins or spirit pellets to exchange!”

Yang Junshan smiled slightly and said: “I’m not busy!”

After they walked for another few meters, Yang Junshan once again dug out three Ghost Face Spirit Mushrooms from behind a stone pillar. On top of the mushrooms, there was also spirit energy, but the Ghost Face Spirit Mushrooms were already middle tier spirit herbs, so after being stained with the spirit energy, their value far surpassed that of the other Spirit Cleansing Grass. Zhang Yueming looked at the three Ghost Face Spirit Mushrooms with much more fervor.

Yang Junshan swept his gaze across everyone’s expressions, and laughed: “Everyone, this cave has been here for hundreds of years, and with the Five Elements Great Array gathering spirit energy, the stone forest will become filled with spirit energy, so everyone can pick whatever you want, but do not leave the group too far, otherwise you will be trapped in the array, and at that time, even I will not be able to save you!”

After approximately another incense’s time, the magnetic light around Zhang Sunxing dissipated and the elemental spirit energy once again started to wash over his body. This time, it was Zhang Yueming who took action, using the Aurora Shield to protect Zhang Sunxing’s entire body, preventing the elemental energy from surging into the array.

Zhang Yueming frowned, and said: “The flow of the five elements inside the array is increasing, and now that there is a breeze inside the array, the dispersing of the spiritual energy in the body is also increasing, does Brother Yang have any countermeasures?”

Yang Junshan replied without turning his head, “Currently, we are going deeper into the Five Elements Formation, so we have our own countermeasures. The simplest is to head back out, to return to the outskirts of the formation where we first entered.

The reason they entered the stone forest was to take the risk, so naturally they refused to return. They followed behind Yang Junshan, but along the way, they only saw Yang Junshan lowering his head from time to time to pick something, in a short hour, he had picked all sorts of spirit grass tainted with the five elements. Furthermore, because these spirit grass were old enough, they were all high quality items with abundant spirit energy.

It wasn’t that the others didn’t want to search for these things, it was just that the spirit senses of the people in the Five Elements Formation were already suppressed. It was just that Yang Junshan was at the front of the group, and when he noticed something, he always picked it first.

At this time, the might of the stone forest gradually grew, and even the wind containing the five elements began to blow against the stone pillars, letting out strange cries, like the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves.

Although Yan Qinxi’s cultivation had accumulated a much stronger foundation than Zhang Sunxing’s, after being protected by the spirit light three times, she could not hold on any longer, and could only use the white light to create a spirit light to protect herself for the second time.

Right at this time, an explosive sound came from the array, causing the ground to tremble violently. The flow of the Five Elements spiritual energy seemed to have been intercepted, forming a short period of disordered flow.

Everyone became cautious, only then did they realise that the explosive sound had come from an unknown direction, and everyone turned to look at Yang Junshan, only to see him smiling: “Looks like it was done by the Perfection of the cultivator who entered the array before, although we entered late, we have already caught up to the progress of the others.”

Everyone gathered their spirits and advanced again, but this time, they were on high alert. To be able to make a Perfection of the cultivator take action to defend, it could be seen that the formation was already filled with danger.

Thinking back on the road he had walked, even though the power of the five elements had washed over him, he was still relatively safe, and did not encounter any other dangers within the formation. He guessed that Yang Junshan, who was probably walking at the front, would be the one doing the most.

Although Zhang Yueming was envious of the spirit herbs in Yang Junshan’s hands that had been infused with the power of the five elements, but he was clearly more interested in finding a Spirit Stone filled with the spirit energies of the five elements.

Just then, Yang Junshan who was walking right at the front suddenly stopped, everyone thought that it was dangerous, but he turned around and said sternly: “Everyone, we are going to leave the outer perimeter and enter the inner area of the Five Elements Formation!”

Zhang Sunxing and Yan Qinxi could not help but reveal a trace of nervousness. Previously, they were only at the periphery, and the two of them could not withstand the five elements spirit energy. Now that they were actually going to break into the array, they were naturally even more uncertain.

Following the entrance of the array behind Yang Junshan, the scene before him changed once again. The five elements of spirit energy that had originally turned into a cool breeze congealed inthick multicolored mist, and the tall and straight stone forest became indistinct and indistinct under the cover of the multicolored mist.

The protective light that Zhang Sunxing and Yan Qinxi had just released was being eroded by the multicolored light and was shrinking at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Yang Junshan, Zhou Bicheng and Zhang Yueming all frowned at the same time. Originally, they had been able to stabilize the spirit energy in their bodies due to the impact of the five elements, but after being drenched by the multicolored mist, they started to loosen up. Only Liu Zhifei and Yan Zhong were able to remain calm.

“Everyone, the five elements here are more dense. After hundreds of years of nurturing, more treasures might appear in the formation, but please follow me closely, do not let the treasures rush into your heads and trap you in a dangerous place. I might not be able to save you then!”

Yang Junshan began to speak shamelessly, because right in front of him, there was a five foot tall tree, on top of it, there were seven or eight bright red fruits, it was obvious that they were high quality spirit fruits.

In the sky above the fruit tree, there was even a cloud that was as red as fire, forming a subtle balance. If there was an external force intervening, the smoke and mist in the surroundings would definitely gather, forming a thunderstorm of the five elements with the red cloud. It was likely that the loud sound everyone had heard earlier was due to this, but they did not know who the unlucky person was.

Sure enough, after he passed by a stone pillar behind Yang Junshan, Zhou Bicheng saw the small tree from afar and immediately cried out: “Scarlet Essence Fruit!”

With that, he leapt past Yang Junshan, but was blocked by Yang Junshan’s arm.

Zhou Bicheng shouted, “Get out of the way! Those are Scarlet Essence Fruits!”

He extended his hand out to push aside Yang Junshan’s obstruction, but unexpectedly, upon pushing, Yang Junshan’s arm did not move an inch. Zhou Bicheng was instantly enraged, and the Essence around his body surged, causing the multicolored mist and mist around him to gather as though they smelled a bloody shark.

“Junior brother Zhou, what are you doing?”

Liu Zhifei’s palm slapped on his shoulder, dispersing the spirit energy gathered in his body. He was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Yang Junshan say coldly: “If you want to fight here, I won’t dare to accompany you!”

At this time, he discovered that the spirit energy in his body was dissipating by multiple folds, but he was also shocked. He turned his head and said: “Junior Zhang, that is a Scarlet Essence Fruit, even if you eat three or four raw, it would help a fourth stage martial arts realm cultivator break through the bottleneck, and step into the great circle of perfection of the fifth level. If Junior Zhang were to refine a Scarlet Essence Pill, then the effect would be even greater!”

At this time, Zhang Yueming’s gaze on the Red Essence Fruit Tree was burning hot, and upon hearing Zhou Ducheng’s words, he could not help but ask Liu Zhifei: “Senior Brother, are you only one step away from the Fifth Great Circle?”

Liu Zhifei smiled slightly, and said: “I don’t need it!”
