"This guy is still guarding outside?" Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the crocodile had not left.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to recover his energy.

Here, poisonous plants abound, which can weaken one's blood and energy.

Therefore, most cultivators who come here perish.

However, Jiang Wang possessed divine markings, so he was not afraid of the miasma-infested grass.

However, this place is fraught with danger, and if he is not careful, he could fall into a place of no return.

"Huh, this spiritual herb seems to be of the fire element too?" Jiang Wang picked up a spiritual herb, his eyebrows arched, and a smile appeared on his lips.

This is a Crimson Flame Grass, its roots wreathed in flame patterns, radiating a scorching aura.

This atmosphere is incredibly comforting.

Jiang Wang quickly collected them.

He then continued on to explore other areas.

The medicinal herbs here are all exceptionally precious, and he didn't want to miss out.

...

"Hey, is that a Fire Cloud Ginseng?" Soon, he found a fiery red ginseng under an ancient tree.

This precious plant is enveloped in a misty haze.

Those mists carried an aura that could incinerate everything.

Clearly, this spiritual essence also contains potent toxins. If one were to consume this spiritual essence year after year, even someone who had reached the Innate Martial Master realm would find it difficult to escape death.

"These spiritual essences were all discovered by my ancestors in the Jiang clan."

"They discovered this place, but unfortunately, I wasn't born yet."

“However, my ancestors planted many spiritual essences here to supply our clansmen,” Jiang Wang murmured, filled with anticipation for these spiritual essences.

He immediately pulled out the ginseng.

This Fire Cloud Ginseng is over ten feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, and is surrounded by reddish clouds and mist.

Although small, the Fire Cloud Ginseng contains immense power.

"Haha, this is a spirit essence of innate level." Jiang Wang was overjoyed and immediately stuffed the Fire Cloud Ginseng into the jade bottle.

Beside him were many medicinal herbs, all radiating a fiery aura.

Clearly, these are all spiritual essences.

Jiang Wang collected these items and continued on his way.

"Hmm, is there a Flame Tree in the soil here?" Suddenly, Jiang Wang's eyes widened as he spotted a tree.

This is a large, fiery red tree, its trunk and branches thick and twisted like dragons on the rock face.

"This is... the Lava Divine Tree?" Upon closer inspection of the tree, Jiang Wang gasped in astonishment.

The Lava Tree is a unique plant that is said to have originated from within Mount Huoshen.

These kinds of elixirs can enhance the quality of spiritual essences.

"This is a rare treasure!" Jiang Wang exclaimed excitedly.

This is an excellent material for refining elixirs.

If one were to master it, one could refine many miraculous elixirs and medicines to help people attain enlightenment.

“This was planted by our ancestors.” Jiang Wang took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement.

Then he continued searching the surrounding area.

"This...it's actually a spiritual spring!" After wandering around for a while, Jiang Wang's eyes lit up with joy as he discovered a spiritual spring.

The spring water gurgled and rippled.

It contained a pale golden liquid flowing inside, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

"This spiritual liquid contains profound fire magic, which is perfect for me." Jiang Wang was overjoyed. He carefully scooped out the water from the spiritual spring and poured it into a jade bottle.

He then continued his search.

This mountain stream is rich in medicinal herbs.

Besides the Spirit Essence, there are many other Spirit Essences.

There was even a fifth-tier spiritual essence.

However, most of these spiritual essences were already harvested by others.

"Has the essence of my Jiang clan been snatched up by someone else in the end?" Jiang Wang sighed softly upon seeing this.

At the same time, he secretly reminded himself: no matter what happens in the future, he must remain calm and composed.

Because there are so many opportunities here, you never know if there's anything you might have missed.

Jiang Wang checked repeatedly and finally found that nothing was missed.

"I wonder if these spiritual essences can enhance my physical body." Jiang Wang's gaze narrowed slightly.

After a moment's hesitation, he decided to give it a try.

After all, this is a tremendous opportunity.

Buzz!

As soon as Jiang Wang ingested the spiritual essence, a rumbling sound immediately resounded in his bones and meridians.

His whole body was surging with blood and energy, like a rushing river.

At the same time, his whole body trembled.

Between those bones and muscles, bone patterns intertwined, giving rise to densely packed runes.

Each bone pattern is imprinted with mysterious runes, radiating immense power.

Jiang Wang's bones became increasingly hard, like a piece of iron that could withstand a hundred weapons.

"I feel like my skin has become more resilient."

"This feeling is wonderful!" After the runes were inscribed in his bones and meridians, Jiang Wang's face was filled with ecstasy.

His entire spirit and energy have been completely transformed.

"Not only that, I feel my blood boiling and my whole body is full of power."

"This... I feel like my physical strength has more than doubled!" Jiang Wang exclaimed excitedly.

"The effects of these essences are truly amazing."

Jiang Wang took a deep breath, unable to suppress the overwhelming joy in his heart any longer.

"Now, my bones and meridians have become exceptionally strong, which is a sign of bloodline transformation. Perhaps, before long, I will be able to break through to the late stage of the Innate Realm. At that time, even if I face ordinary Nascent Soul experts, I will be able to contend with them without being weak in the slightest."

Thinking of this, Jiang Wangxin was overjoyed.

"At this rate, I'll be able to reach the realm of kings and nobles in no time!" He clenched his fist.

Jiang Wang continued forward.

He walked into the abyss.

call!

Suddenly, Jiang Wang's eyelids twitched, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

"Is something watching me?" Jiang Wang wondered.

Then, his eyes flashed, and his gaze locked onto the void several thousand meters to his right.

There, the hazy mist swirls and rolls, as if something is about to emerge.

This made Jiang Wang feel a chill run down his spine.

That feeling was terrifying.

"What's going on?" Jiang Wang couldn't help but shudder.

"Could it be that those ferocious beasts still have remnants of their souls?" Jiang Wang was immediately horrified.

He dared not linger and took a step to leave.

However, as he was about to leave, the mist writhed and transformed into a giant ape.

"Roar!" The giant ape roared, waving its massive arms and slapping at Jiang Wang.

Suddenly, a fierce wind raged, stirring up towering waves.

Bang!

Jiang Wang tried his best to resist, but was still blasted away.

Awoo!

The giant ape roared and charged forward with a hint of anger.

"Oh no!" This scene startled Jiang Wang.

"This is no ordinary demon beast; it possesses sentience." Jiang Wang was terrified.

"However, I am at least a cultivator at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, so I am not afraid of it." Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and quickly prepared to fight.

However, the giant ape's attack was swift and fierce. Its sharp claws fell like blades, tearing through the void and shattering it.
