Deep mountains, dense forests, rocks and springs.

The journey was arduous, but the young boy collecting herbs did not feel the slightest bit of hardship. Instead, he felt extremely comfortable and happy.

"This is... Thank God Grass!"

He looked around and could always find undiscovered magical herbs in inconspicuous corners.

At this time, he would be very happy. Not only would he have some income, but he could also verify what he had learned and thoroughly consolidate the knowledge of Dandao he had learned.

In terms of safety, there is no need to worry.

At first, he thought it was luck that there were no monsters to cause trouble along the way, but later he realized that it was not that there were no monsters here, but that they were frightened by Chen Sheng's aura and dared not show up.

In this way, he felt more relaxed and comfortable. The vast Wenshuo Mountains seemed to have become a back garden for him to come and go as he pleased.

One and a half months of such joyful days lasted.

However, a trace of guilt grew in his heart. He was happy and making progress every moment, but he had no idea what Chen Sheng wanted.

"What's wrong? Do you think searching for medicine in the mountains is too boring?"

Mr. Chen noticed that the boy who was collecting herbs was in a low mood and thought it was a problem with the environment. After all, a boy would feel bored if he stayed in the mountains for a long time.

"I still have no clue about the Blue Fungus Stone. Maybe I am thinking in the wrong direction."

The young boy who picked herbs shook his head. He was very sensible and knew that the life he had now was something many people could not hope for.

Therefore, he felt more and more guilty.

“No hurry.”

A warm smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face. Who wouldn't like a boy who is studious and grateful?

I think that the several elderly people who helped him back then also extended a helping hand with the same mentality.

"Then look for it again."

The young herbalist could see that Mr. Chen really didn't mind, and his mood suddenly improved. He was full of energy and went to explore deeper into the dense forest.

Young people are full of energy.

This exploration lasted from morning to dusk, and the two stopped to rest as usual.

Crackling...

The bonfire was burning fiercely, illuminating the surroundings, and no blind monster dared to offend.

The herbalist was in charge of dinner, which was barbecue. He controlled the heat as seriously as if he were treating his spiritual practice.

This is what Mr. Chen told him. Life is like a practice, just like barbecue and alchemy. If you control the temperature well, you will be able to make good pills in the future.

Chen Sheng even taught him the Eight Methods of Controlling Fire. He liked this young man very much. He was pure and clean, without too much dirty thoughts in his heart.

"Senior, how about trying it?"

The herbalist prepared the barbecue for Mr. Chen first, and waited for his score as if he was facing a gourmet.

It is both a scoring and an instruction, mainly on the timing.

“There is progress.”

Chen Sheng knew without tasting that the young herb collector did a great job. He was very similar to him, with a pure heart, but he was also different in one respect, which was that he was very talented and had great luck.

Over this period of time, the young herbalist has made great progress.

"It's mainly because the seniors taught me well."

The young herb collector smiled shyly, without any arrogance, and with the clarity and cleanliness of the spring water from Tianshan Mountains.

He was very satisfied with such days. There was no intrigue, no life-and-death struggles, and he was able to feel the original charm of cultivating immortals.

Peaceful and at ease, I cultivate my own way.

Another two months passed.

I still haven’t found the Green Fungus Stone, but I did find quite a few other spiritual herbs.

Thirteen medicinal stones and sixty-three magical herbs.

Mr. Chen discovered that the probability of the young herb pickers picking magical herbs was very high, which also verified his idea that some people were born with great blessings and found it easier to practice Taoism than others.

So, he was not in a hurry and waited slowly for the opportunity to come.

"There seems to be something there."

After the young herbalist became an immortal, he developed a spiritual perception, and it was also with this talent that he was able to harvest more than others in the deep mountains and forests.

Now, that spiritual perception came into play again.

"Go and have a look."

Chen Sheng walked forward. There was a small hill there. The grass and trees were broken and in a mess. It was destroyed directly by a strong and huge force.

"roar"

Mr. Chen was about to move forward when a tall figure stood up.

It was almost level with the hill, covered with hair, and its eyes shone with a captivating light that reflected both wisdom and the murderous aura of a monster.

"A demon beast at the foundation building stage."

It was not the first time that the young herbalist saw a second-level monster, but he was still shocked. That figure, like a god or demon, stood there, emitting a terrifying pressure that made people's hearts tremble.

"Just passing by, just passing by."

Mr. Chen recognized that this was a violent mountain ape, which had outstanding combat power and was a powerful existence among the second-level monsters.

Moreover, the blood of this violent mountain ape is very unusual and does not resemble ordinary stuff.

He didn't want to start a war. This time he went into the mountains not to occupy the land, but to look for the green fungus stone.

"Senior, look at that!"

The young boy who was picking herbs focused his eyes and, relying on his spiritual perception, saw a piece of green medicinal stone.

Its surroundings seemed like a natural formation, absorbing the essence of plants and trees from all over the earth; it was quite extraordinary.

Like...

The thing that the senior mentioned.

He wasn't quite sure.

"Blue Fungus Stone!"

Mr. Chen looked up and almost blurted out that he had been thinking about this thing for almost a year, and he recognized it at a glance.

"Found it? Really found it."

The young boy who was collecting herbs was very happy, and he was also sure that he was really a person with great fortune as Mr. Chen said.

It was this cognition that provided tremendous help for his future cultivation.

"You have made great contributions."

Mr. Chen praised the young man who was collecting herbs without hesitation. Even with such a huge medicine hut and all its resources, they couldn't find the herb, but he managed to find it with his spiritual perception. If this isn't genius, then what is?

"Excuse me, I need to get something."

Turning his head, he looked at the Violent Mountain Ape apologetically. Today's fight was inevitable.

"roar"

The Violent Mountain Ape is the overlord of this area and will not tolerate provocation. When it saw Chen Sheng standing still, it knew that this man deserved to be killed.

It violently pulled up a giant tree several hundred meters tall nearby, like pulling out weeds, and pulled it out in an instant. It suddenly threw it like a huge arrow shooting into the sky, suppressing Chen Sheng.

This kind of power is truly terrifying. Chen Sheng suspects that the body of this evil beast is no less powerful than a second-level magical weapon.

He shook his body, and the magic power in his dantian sank, leaked into all the major meridians, and came out through the Tongtian acupoint, condensing into an extremely powerful force that swept across the universe.

"boom"

The two forces collided in the sky, and the shape of the giant tree shattered inch by inch. However, the flying wood chips contained terrible power that shattered the invisible magic power.

At this time, the young boy who was picking herbs had already found a place to hide. He knew that he could not help, but he could not fall behind.

Seeing the terrifying situation, he curled up into a ball, like a rock, and remained silent and motionless.

"The cultivation of this type of ape is very suitable for the cultivation method of physical sainthood."

Chen Sheng realized how difficult it was to deal with the Violent Mountain Ape. It had boundless strength, and bones and muscles as hard as iron. A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage could blast mountains into pieces, but might not be able to move them. However, the other party could do it.

"call"

While he was thinking, the Violent Mountain Ape had already come again, emitting an overwhelming power. Its punches were like dragons and snakes rising from the earth, vast and mighty, and extremely powerful.

"clang"

Chen Sheng's whole body was covered with magic power, his muscles glowed with a faint golden light. He pushed his hands forward, and the void thundered, as if there was a force of tens of millions of pounds at work, and he fought with the violent mountain ape.

Then, he took half a step back, and felt his muscles and bones go numb all over. The strands of strength made him weak.

"call"

The violent mountain ape is as powerful as a rainbow, and once it gains the upper hand, it will show no mercy to anyone.

It stepped on the ground suddenly, and rushed out, as if the entire virtual sky was disturbed. It punched again with such ferocious power.

"kill"

Chen Sheng no longer relied solely on his magic power to fight back. He flipped his hand and the iron sword floated into the air. He flew across the sky like a giant demon bird.

The brilliance on the sword was an extension of his body, mind and spirit. It was extremely sharp and slashed fiercely on the arm of the Violent Mountain Ape.

“Sizzle!”

The Violent Mountain Ape felt the pain and retracted his hand, looking at the sword mark on his arm, grinning, but still as ferocious as ever, with his eyes wide open and filled with terrible murderous aura.

"He has thick skin and strong muscles. His physical strength is really amazing."

Chen Sheng's sword was extremely sharp, but it only broke the flesh and blood of the Violent Mountain Ape and did not cut its bones. The opponent's physique was much stronger than he had imagined and was extremely terrifying.

"roar"

The Violent Mountain Ape moved its body, and its blood and energy rushed into the sky. The scars on its body recovered rapidly and disappeared in an instant.

Then, it made a fist stance, not randomly, with great spirit and charm, showing that it had been practicing for at least several decades.

"Mountain God! Is this a natural ability?"

The young boy who was picking herbs thought of some things. He had heard that there were gods in the deep mountains and that one could get protection by worshipping them. Mortals could not see them, but they could see their ethereal figures and awe-inspiring divine power in the hazy mountain fog.

These descriptions are so similar to the violent mountain ape at this moment.

"I learned the skills of a body-refining cultivator and developed these abilities through cultivation."

Chen Sheng knew the details of this violent mountain ape. It inherited the tradition of human body cultivators and gradually became powerful, which is why it became so ferocious.

He did not dare to be careless and waited attentively as if he was treating a master in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"boom"

The blood of the Violent Mountain Ape moved with the force of his fist, and his blood vessels made a loud and rumbling sound.

It moved, and with a step of its feet, it seemed as if thousands of mountains were under its body. Its fists smashed down with a rolling and shattering aura, like a torrent of steel, destroying everything.

Chen Sheng swung his sword dozens of times, the sword light was sharp, forming a cage that could kill gods and destroy hearts, but it was still smashed to pieces by the violent mountain ape. Finally, he poured his magic power into the iron sword, stretched it in front of him, and blocked it upwards.

"Da Da Da"

That extremely powerful fist hit the iron sword, and Chen Sheng took advantage of the situation and floated away like a flying swallow to release the force of the attack.

"Mountain Moving Fist"

The Violent Mountain Ape stomped its feet, and rushed to Chen Sheng as if chasing a star or the moon. It threw out that punch again, majestic and heavy, rolling like a tide.

In a trance, Chen Sheng seemed to see a monkey behind his fists, facing the mountain moon, practicing hard day and night.

"clang"

His eyes became serious, his mind was attached to the iron sword, his hand moved, his mind was activated, the sword intent changed, turning into magnificent and splendid, the grandeur and tenacity could be felt from miles away.

With a slash of the sword, the void dimmed for a moment, and then became endlessly bright, like the ultimate brilliance of the extinct stars.

"Bang"

A fight of energy and strength.

The surrounding hills were directly destroyed, the grass and trees lost their shape and turned into smoke and dust, the rolling air was like dragons and snakes dancing, disturbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and the clouds exploded.

“Boom…”

The fist of the violent mountain ape was stained with blood and broken bones, and it looked very miserable.

Its blood and energy recovered, and the surging blood and energy flowed out from its heart, constantly repairing the wound. In a moment, it was more than half healed, and its vitality was extremely strong.

This is a martial art called Blood Moving Kung Fu, which, like the Mountain Moving Fist it learned, came from a body-building cultivator.

After that man was attacked and killed by him, it inherited the power and thought about the fact that it had four limbs and a human form, so it decided to practice cultivation.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly simple inheritance was extremely compatible with him and it tapped into the power in his body thoroughly.

After it was built, it roamed the Wenshuo Mountains and rarely suffered losses.

I met Mr. Chen today and was injured by him, which made me want to kill him even more.

"What a ferocious monster."

Chen Sheng's hand holding the sword felt soft. The Violent Mountain Ape's physique was so strong that he was actually shocked by the recoil. Perhaps it was time to find a method to strengthen his body.

"kill"

He was the first to attack. If one sword force couldn't kill the Violent Mountain Ape, then he would use ten. If a hundred wasn't enough, he wouldn't believe that the monster's body was made of divine iron.

The sword rose in darkness, and then shone brightly. Sword lights as thick as a child's arm, like a swimming dragon or the rules condensed between heaven and earth, bombarded towards the violent mountain ape.

"boom"

The violent mountain ape attacked violently, and the blood energy emanating from its body turned the void into a blood-red color. It moved its hands continuously, and its muscles and bones made a clanging sound, as if thousands of troops were roaring out.

Those two fists were so powerful that they smashed the sword light, cleared a path, and moved forward courageously.

However, the dozens of star-slashing sword intentions were so majestic and heavy that even with its physique, it could hardly bear it.

Gradually, the body of the Violent Mountain Ape became heavy, and it lost its powerful aura, and its breath became heavier.

"Exploration team? The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind?"

The battle was so intense that the young boy who was picking herbs held his breath. Fortunately, Chen Sheng managed to suppress the situation. His heart settled down, but in an instant his heart became tense again and he felt a little nervous.

He saw that not far from him, there was a group of monks lying in ambush, about six or seven people.

All of a sudden, he realized that these people wanted to pick peaches.

"Brother Hao, these two people and animals are not easy to deal with."

In the exploration team, all the practitioners restrained their breath, and their mental power could not detect them at all, so they could only be observed with the naked eye.

They really wanted to take advantage of the situation, but after seeing how strong Chen Sheng was, they felt a little unsure.

"That's why we have to wait until they are both defeated."

Fang Xiao, the leader of the team, stared at Chen Sheng's sword intent, the body of the Violent Mountain Ape, and the Green Fungus Stone not far away with passionate eyes.

His style of doing things has always been adventurous.

Big risk, big reward.

Although this violent mountain ape was at a disadvantage, it was still extremely powerful and could consume half of its opponent's magic power.

As they were both cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, and with the help of six Qi Refining stage experts, he didn't believe that he couldn't defeat Chen Sheng.
