Yi Ming walked around the town and bought some yellow-level spiritual plants, all of which could be used to make pills. It's not that these spiritual plants cannot be found in the Hongmang Mountains, but the more the better. After all, he could sell them at double the price after refining them into pills.

Alchemists are so willful.

Shanqian Town is a place frequented by Qi Refining cultivators from all over the place, and it is also the area where all kinds of news are most widely circulated. Yi Ming has stayed in Linluo City for more than two months, and he also wanted to hear if there was any new news from Shangyong Country, so he did not rush into the Hongmang Mountains, but came to the largest restaurant in the center of the town, ordered some wine and food, and began to listen to gossip.

After listening for a while, Yi Ming realized that nothing major had happened in the entire Shangyong State.

The Erxian Sect was still acting secretly in Shangyong, and the Chongtian Sect also sent its disciples. The two sides had never stopped fighting in Shangyong, but the Chongtian Sect had always held the upper hand.

However, after nearly a year of observation, everyone was almost certain that Duyuan Sect's leader Wan Chunhua did not kill the Golden Que Snake that day in the Hongmang Mountains, and the Golden Que Snake was indeed wandering outside and was no longer in the hands of the Erxian Sect.

Otherwise, whether the snake was in the hands of Chongtian Sect, Duyuan Sect, or Erxian Sect, the situation would not have developed to the current level.

Without the Golden Que Snake, the Erxian Sect's high-end force would only have a leader in the Jindan stage, and he was not known for head-on combat. Facing the leader of the Chongtian Sect, he was at an absolute disadvantage.

The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!

So what could Yi Ming do? Of course he took a detour!

"There are no cameras in this world, let them find it." Yi Ming thought to himself. He was just a new and independent cultivator with no roots or foundation, and didn't even have a name in the cultivation world. Who from the Chongtian Sect and the Erxian Sect could find him?

"If that's the case, then forget it." The leading monk nodded and said in a deep voice, "It seems that this person has a strong cultivation base and is not easy to mess with. Remember his appearance and don't mess with him in the future."

This mysterious spiritual plant can not only bear fruit that can be used as medicine, but it can also actively attack. Just now, Yi Ming accidentally stepped into the attack range of this big tree. Several tree roots rose from the ground and almost captured Yi Ming and the snake together.

For thousands of years, countless cultivators have walked into the mountains. Some obtained rare treasures and soared to the sky, while others were buried here and became food for ferocious beasts. As time passed, things changed and people changed. The spiritual plants, ferocious beasts, and cultivators have all been replaced one after another, but the Hongmang Mountains remain unchanged.

…

Yi Ming carefully walked around a big tree and passed by it 20 feet away. "This ordinary-looking tree is actually a mysterious spiritual plant!"

"This person's cultivation is not weak, and his attainments in escaping techniques are extremely high. I didn't detect any trace of him." A cultivator said after scanning the surrounding ground and treetops.

Apart from the conflict between Chongtian Sect and Erxian Sect, the rest were trivial matters, such as whose talented disciple was promoted to Nengyuan stage, whose family found a rare treasure, whose family offended someone and was exterminated, whose family married whose disciple, etc. The cultivators complained and envied at the same time. The bad ones couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune, while the good ones wished they could take their place.

“I’ll go!”

After listening to it, Yi Ming actually found that he had also experienced some stories told by other people, such as the events of Qingyan Sect and Luo Yunshi Gorge.

Because the secret method of refining the two immortals of snakes and insects must target the final Golden Que Snake and Silver Lantern Insect at the same time, even if the two immortals have all the Silver Lantern Insects and have already advanced to a late-stage peak Xuan-level Silver Lantern Insect through the secret method, it cannot cross the grade and advance to the Earth-level, because there are forty-eight mid-level Xuan-level Golden Que Snakes waiting for their last brother on the other side.

The turned-up tree roots brought out countless tiny bones and debris from the soil. Yi Ming took a look and knew that there must be quite a few ferocious beasts and monks who died at the hands of this big tree.

"yes!"

After leaving the restaurant, Yi Ming entered the Hongmang Mountains alone, attracting the attention of several people. However, when they followed him in, Yi Ming had disappeared.

So, do you think this Golden Snake is important or not?

Yi Ming had a blank expression on his face. He already knew that ever since Xiaohua practiced the "Secret Transformation of a Hundred Poisons" that he had obtained from the game world, the Second Immortal Sect's sensitivity to it had become increasingly weaker. Coupled with the fact that he had transformed Xiaohua and his own strength had gradually improved, his sense of crisis was no longer as strong as when he had first obtained Xiaohua.

"What a fast escape method!"

With the Golden Que Snake, the Erxian Sect would immediately have two more earth-level low-grade ferocious beasts. With the assistance of its leader, with three against one, the leader of the Chongtian Sect would have no hope of winning.

The moment he entered the Hongmang Mountains, he accelerated and stepped into the surrounding mountains and forests. He used the "Wuxin Escape" and "Wanying Escape" together, following the outskirts of the Hongmang Mountains and escaping in the direction indicated in Luo Qi's jade slip.

Therefore, the Chongtian Sect and the Erxian Sect have changed from the tit-for-tat relationship more than half a year ago to an all-out search for the Golden Que Snake. It can be said that in today's situation, whoever finds the lost Golden Que Snake first will be able to take the initiative.

This was his first time to truly go deep into the Hongmang Mountains, a land of rich resources that runs across Shangyong Country and is said to be filled with countless crises and opportunities.

"So we can't catch up?" The leading monk looked at the other man. "If we can't sense it, we definitely can't catch up." The monk shook his head and said.

Yi Ming certainly didn't know what was happening behind him. His strength at this moment was no longer the same as when he first entered the Hongmang Mountains. If these guys really caught up with him, the final result would not be that Yi Ming was in trouble.

"Just wait, when I advance to the Nascent Soul stage, I'll come back and chop you up for firewood!" Yi Ming looked at the fruits shining with yellow halos in the tree canopy, and could only swallow his saliva, note down the coordinates, and leave helplessly.

On the following journey, Yi Ming encountered cold winds blowing out of caves that could freeze a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining to death. He also encountered natural mazes formed by the natural terrain in the mountains. He encountered golden eagles soaring in the sky and mistaking him for prey. He also encountered cultivators exploring deep into the mountains. However, because Yi Ming tried his best to restrain his breath, the other party did not discover him.

After more than twenty days, Yi Ming bypassed several dangerous places and finally approached the edge of Huwang Valley along the outer edge of the Hongmang Mountains. The path leading to the secret realm described in Luo Qi's jade slip was an intermediate section.

"That secret place is in the northwest." Yi Ming looked up at the direction, paused, and his figure disappeared into the woods the next moment.
