"Great indeed is the Heavenly Stem, which strengthens the foundation and nourishes the source."
"Great medicine! Great pill! Great skill, haha..."
In the middle of the night, Bai Cang sat upright in his quiet room.
The last "Great Nourishing Essence Pill" made from purple ginseng was swallowed, and a surge of vital energy immediately spread throughout the body.
In an instant, the "Drinking with Etiquette" talent was activated, and the vast essence was refined into pure true energy.
Strands of true essence swirled like mist, dripping down like raindrops, resembling large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate, continuously falling into the Xuanqiao (mysterious aperture).
"Eight drops of true essence; only one final step is needed to enter the Dao and cultivate Qi."
Bai Cang slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.
The harvest from the year-end market had all been refined by Bai Cang into "Great Nourishing Essence Pills," which he consumed completely, and the results were remarkable.
The purple ginseng, in particular, played a crucial role, providing him with three drops of true essence.
Compared to the cost of nine large health-preserving pills, it's a profit of hundreds of times over, even if it's a painful loss.
In less than half a month, he advanced from the initial stage of the Innate Realm to the "late stage of the Innate Realm" and the "half-step Innate Realm peak small perfection" level, which is even more astonishing.
It should be noted that Bai Cang has only been cultivating for a little over three months, yet he is already close to the "peak of the innate realm" and "entering the Dao to cultivate Qi".
With such rapid upgrades, even he himself wouldn't believe it if he wasn't using cheats.
"Unfortunately, the year-end market isn't a panacea either. I've probably already emptied the savings of those mountain hikers."
Bai Cang shook his head with some regret, "Even if there are still some hidden treasures, I guess they won't easily take them out to sell."
"Where can I get the precious medicine to reattach my last broken leg?"
The first thing Bai Cang thought of was the medicinal herb field in the mountains.
To be precise: it is the medicinal field belonging to the Sanyin Temple in the Beiyin Mountains.
He certainly wouldn't have had such radical ideas before.
The original goal was to advance to the "Peak of the Innate Realm" within three months and then enter the Dao to cultivate Qi. Now, only ten days have passed, and the progress is already far ahead of schedule. Why be in such a hurry and even take risks?
However, the appearance of the Three Yin Master during the day brought Bai Cang a strong sense of crisis.
There's also a sense of "revenge" at play: "You fucking scared me, you fucking stared at me, I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget."
At the same time, he had another consideration: what if one day he suddenly encountered an emergency and had to make a decision on the spot or flee?
Wouldn't that benefit Blind Chen?
This thing, which was already on Bai Cang's kill list, actually wanted to escape this time?
No! Absolutely not!
"But before that, there's something else we need to do first."
Bai Cang thought to himself, "That means scouting the location!"
As the saying goes: plan before you act, and caution is the key to a safe and long-term journey.
Even though he was extremely anxious, Bai Cang did not act rashly on his own.
………
Three days later, outside Guobei County.
Bai Cang rose up on the wind and walked under the moon, suddenly feeling the vastness of the world and feeling extremely happy.
The deep night concealed the occasionally appearing white skeletons, making him appear even more ethereal.
An hour later, the medicinal herb fields in the mountains came into view in the distance.
However, Bai Cang did not rush to make a move. Instead, he landed on the treetop and patiently began to regulate his breathing.
Half an hour later, Bai Cang, who had recovered to his peak condition, finally rose up with a flick of his sleeve, like a white crane soaring into the sky, gliding towards the medicinal herb field in the mountains.
This place has been developed by the Sanyin Temple into a fortress, with strict security everywhere.
Not only are there mountain patrol guards with wolfhounds patrolling day and night, but there is also a simple warning array personally set up by the abbot of the Three Yin Temple on the outer perimeter.
Logically speaking, even if Bai Cang used the "Five Ghosts Escape Form" technique, it would be difficult for him to break into the medicine field without alerting anyone.
The most precious medicinal herbs are located in a small, central area of the herb field, personally guarded by the five masters.
However, after two days of reconnaissance and investigation, Bai Cang found the biggest vulnerability in the defense.
That is, there were serious oversights and deficiencies in the defense of the sky.
Perhaps they didn't expect someone to launch a surprise attack from the air.
Or rather: even if you think of it, there's no way to defend against it.
After all, whether it's riding exotic birds, flying in the sky with magical artifacts, or simply being someone who rides the wind, they are at least at the level of cultivating Qi.
If such beings were to lower themselves and launch a surprise attack on the herb field, none of the others, except for the Five Lords, would be able to resist, so whether or not they were on guard would be of little significance.
The value of this medicinal field is clearly not worth someone with such power risking offending Heshan Dao to do something so beneath them.
Even if the Ma family wanted revenge, they wouldn't choose such a method that would have little effect but would directly provoke the Three Yin Temple Master.
Unless they've completely broken ties and are prepared to destroy the Sanyin Temple as well!
However, it is clear that Majiazhai did not have such courage.
After all, their feud with the Sanyin Temple was merely a "personal grudge."
However, if the Sanyin Temple were to be flattened, it would be a slap in the face to the Heshan Dao, and could even be said to be an attempt to "overthrow" the Heshan Dao's rule over the Xia Kingdom.
Majia Village doesn't even have a Dao Foundation Real Person, so how dare they provoke the tiger whiskers of Heshan Dao, which has more than a dozen Golden Core Ancestors?
Therefore, from this perspective, the arrangement of the Three Yin Master is not a big problem.
Unfortunately, Bai Cang is such an unreasonable cheater!
His target was none other than the core medicinal field for cultivating spiritual herbs.
What's even better is that tonight is the night Chen Xunzhao is on duty guarding the perimeter of the core medicinal field.
It's quite reasonable for a powerful figure to raid the herb field and casually kill a few insignificant characters, right?
"Possessed by five demons, by imperial decree!"
In the blink of an eye, Bai Cang fell from the sky, like a meteorite.
Have you ever seen a palm technique that descends from the sky?
"Boom!"
The next moment.
A muffled thunderous explosion resounded from the core medicinal field.
Wooden houses collapsed one after another, raising clouds of dust.
"You scoundrel! How dare you come to my Heshan Road territory to beg for wildfire?"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.
A burly man with a stiff face and bluish-black skin shot out, wielding a red copper dragon-patterned staff.
It is as if cast from bronze and iron, possessing a fierce and domineering aura, like an unparalleled warrior.
"Hall Master Li Feiyu? He has indeed become a bronze corpse. It's just that I don't know why he can still maintain the ultimate human qualities. Moreover, he doesn't show any signs of it normally. He only reveals his true form during battle."
Under the cover of the billowing dust, Bai Cang silently observed the state of Hall Master Li Feiyu.
"boom!"
In an instant.
A low whistling sound was heard, like a cannonball slicing through the air and creating a sonic boom.
A red copper dragon-coiled staff, like a raging sea, enveloped an area of several dozen feet in all directions.
However, Bai Cang had already transformed into a shadow and flew towards the core medicinal field.
A moment later, ten miles outside the medicinal herb field in the mountains.
A shadowy figure soared into the sky like a night owl, appearing several miles away in just a few flashes.
"That felt great! That felt so good!"
Bai Cang held a dark green Ganoderma lucidum in his hand and couldn't help but let out a long, loud cry.
Arriving under the moonlight, slaying enemies, and returning laden with spoils—how exhilarating!
