Qi Zhiheng's gaze swept over a spot, and he immediately walked over. When he returned to the other two, he had already picked up a spiritual herb.
"Snake slough grass?" Chu Huaifeng was somewhat uncertain. Although he was at the Mahayana stage, he was not familiar with some special spiritual herbs.
Snake slough grass is not a commonly used medicinal herb for making elixirs. It is used to refine some special elixirs, and due to its special growing environment, it is very rare.
Snake molting grass is a kind of spiritual herb that snakes love. It can speed up their molting time and make the new snake skin more flexible. However, it also needs to be watered with snake venom. Generally, it needs to be raised with snakes.
Following his principle of collecting spiritual herbs, Qi Zhiheng planted them in his spatial dimension. As for the snake venom, he would just have the little black snake secrete more venom later.
The pills made from snake slough grass are more effective than taking snake slough grass directly, so the little black snake probably wouldn't choose to waste its venom instead of using the pills.
There were still quite a few snake-skin grasses near the little black snake's burrow, but many of them were not yet mature. Qi Zhiheng had a spatial dimension, so he could put the snake-skin grasses inside and plant them.
Chu Huaifeng was somewhat puzzled. What could immature snake slough grass be used for?
Qi Zhiheng only said to take it back to the city to plant.
Chu Huaifeng nodded and stopped dwelling on the matter.
After the little black snake packed all its belongings into its storage container, it crawled out of its snake hole.
Seeing that Qi Zhiheng and the others had pulled up all of his snake-skin grass, he immediately became somewhat dejected.
Yang Yitian explained, "I won't embezzle your herbs. I'll give them to you after they've been refined into pills."
After receiving an explanation, the little black snake perked up again. After circling around, it indicated that it wanted to climb onto Yang Yitian's hand.
Yang Yitian stretched out a hand, letting the little black snake crawl onto his palm, shrinking to the thickness of a bracelet, and wrapping around his wrist.
After dealing with the little black snake, they set off again.
Holding the map, Chu Huaifeng discussed the route with Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian: "The area where Qian Zhilu discovered it is very close to the central region where the Immortal Palace is located. Once we reach this area, we will probably be able to see the location of the Immortal Palace."
Now that they had come to the Immortal Palace Secret Realm, Yang Yitian was naturally eager to go inside and take a look.
Chu Huaifeng quipped, "Whether they can enter the Immortal Palace is still uncertain. Most of the cultivators who came in this time couldn't get in."
What are the requirements for entering the Celestial Palace?
Chu Huaifeng shook his head: "I don't know."
Yang Yitian said, "Senior, you are so old, have you never been here before?"
Chu Huaifeng rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I've been here. After I became a Mahayana cultivator four thousand years ago, I would enter the Immortal Palace every time."
Yang Yitian held up four fingers: "So you've come in four times already? And you still haven't found out how to enter the Immortal Palace after four attempts? Old Chu, your information-gathering skills aren't very good."
Chu Huaifeng has a cheerful personality, and Yang Yitian has become somewhat familiar with him, so he no longer speaks to him politely.
Chu Huaifeng was unconvinced: "What do you mean you didn't find out how to enter the Immortal Palace? I came in four times, and I entered the Immortal Palace three times!"
Yang Yitian: "You've already gone in, so why don't you know how to get in?"
Chu Huaifeng: "I really don't know. I've entered the Immortal Palace Secret Realm four times. I entered the first two and fourth times, but the third time I just couldn't get to the entrance."
"Could it be a problem with the route?" Qi Zhiheng interjected.
Chu Huaifeng shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with the route. I had companions with me at the time. Sometimes I couldn't get in, but my companions did. Sometimes I got in, but my companions were left behind."
Qi Zhiheng looked puzzled: "So, this Immortal Palace is quite interesting."
After several days of travel, they finally arrived at the area where Chizuru was located.
Thousand-weave Dew is a type of mucus secreted by the Thousand-weave Beast. Since the Thousand-weave Beast is a spirit beast and moves nimbly, it is somewhat difficult to find. Fortunately, there are many such spirit beasts, so finding one is not difficult. The difficulty lies in how to get these spirit beasts to secrete Thousand-weave Dew.
Before long, they encountered the Thousand-Weaving Beast. The Thousand-Weaving Dew can only be secreted when the other party is willing, so they cannot use forceful methods.
This is a bit difficult, but Qi Zhiheng believes that no spirit beast can resist the temptation of spirit beast pills.
Upon encountering the Thousand-Weaving Beast again, Qi Zhiheng immediately threw out a spirit beast pill.
The aroma of the top-grade spirit beast pill immediately attracted the attention of the Thousand-Weaving Beast! A quick-witted Thousand-Weaving Beast jumped up immediately, swallowed the pill, and let out a satisfied cry.
This shout angered the slow-reacting Thousand-Weaving Beasts, who then roared angrily at the Thousand-Weaving Beast that had spoken earlier.
The five Thousand-Woven Beasts surrounded him, and Rain Boots looked longingly at Qi Zhiheng.
These Thousand-Weaving Beasts have varying levels of cultivation, with the highest being at the Mahayana stage and the lowest at the Foundation Establishment stage.
With so many Thousand-Weaving Beasts of varying cultivation levels gathered together, they must all be from the same family. Qi Zhiheng naturally needed the strongest one, so he immediately threw a spirit beast pill to the Great Ascension stage Thousand-Weaving Beast.
The Mahayana stage Thousand-Weaving Beast swallowed a Spirit Beast Pill, which displeased the other Thousand-Weaving Beasts.
Qi Zhiheng said to the spirit beast, "You help me secrete a bottle of Thousand Weaving Dew, and I will give you a bottle of ten spirit beast pills."
The Thousand-Beast was remarkably intelligent and immediately understood his meaning, nodding in agreement. What the Thousand-Beast exuded was actually a secretion from its eye, but this secretion was not tears.
Qi Zhiheng handed a bottle to the other party and placed it under the eyes of the Thousand-Weaving Beast. The Thousand-Weaving Beast began to secrete a transparent viscous liquid from its eyes, which flowed into the bottle.
Yang Yitian swallowed hard as he looked at the scene. He hadn't expected the material to have such a nice-sounding name. He figured he would probably never eat any pills made with Thousand Weaving Dew again.
The bottle of Thousand Weaving Dew was quickly filled. Usually, only three drops of Thousand Weaving Dew are needed to refine one batch of pills, so this bottle is enough to refine at least twenty batches of pills.
Qi Zhiheng was already very satisfied with this and gave the pill to the other party.
The Thousand-Weaving Beast cried out again, sending a telepathic message to Qi Zhiheng, indicating that it wanted to change again.
"You want to change the pills?" Qi Zhiheng was somewhat surprised.
The Thousand-Woven Beast blinked the eye that hadn't secreted Thousand-Woven Dew earlier, indicating that this eye could still secrete it.
Qi Zhiheng did not refuse, and took out an empty bottle and a bottle of pills. He then exchanged them for a bottle of Thousand-Weaving Dew.
Chu Huaifeng felt a pang of heartache watching from the side, knowing that those twenty pills were all top-grade medicinal pills!
Qi Zhiheng didn't explain much and was about to leave after obtaining the Thousand-Weaving Dew when the Thousand-Weaving Beast, a cultivator at the Mahayana stage, stopped him again.
Qi Zhiheng looked puzzled: "What's wrong? Can your eyes still secrete fluid?"
The Mahayana stage practitioner shook his head and pushed out his son from the fusion stage, indicating that his son could still secrete.
Qi Zhiheng and the others: "..."
Finally, Qi Zhiheng replaced the spirit beast pills for the sons, grandsons, great-grandsons, and so on of the Mahayana-stage Thousand-Weaving Beast. Of course, there were some changes in the price as well.
After bidding farewell to the Thousand-Weaving Beast family, Qi Zhiheng and the others headed towards the center of the secret realm where the Immortal Palace was located.
They encountered a few cultivators along the way, but since they hadn't reached the Dao Immortal Palace yet, the group wasn't particularly interested in fighting. With Qi Zhiheng's soul power clearing the way, they managed to avoid any dangers they encountered.
Although Qi Zhiheng really wanted to find a few spiritual veins in the secret realm, spiritual veins were not so easy to find.
Three days after leaving the territory of the Thousand-Weaving Beast, they were about to see the phantom of the Celestial Palace. The phantom was magnificent and looked exceptionally splendid.
This was the first time Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian had ever seen the Immortal Palace, but they weren't particularly shocked.
Yang Yitian secretly transmitted his voice to Qi Zhiheng: "It must be because I was very powerful before! Maybe my cave dwelling is even more magnificent than this." Otherwise, why wouldn't he be shocked when he saw such a spectacular sight?
Chu Huaifeng was expecting the two to be amazed, but to his surprise, this couple was unusual and didn't react at all. He complained, "You two are making me feel very unfulfilled!"
Yang Yitian feigned nonchalance and said, "There's no need to pay attention to such details."
He walked towards the celestial palace for a while longer, and the celestial palace drew closer and closer as they traveled.
Chu Huaifeng was very excited to see this: "This situation is very good. This time we will definitely be able to enter the Immortal Palace."
"So fast? Didn't you say it would take a long time to get to the Immortal Palace?" Yang Yitian asked.
Chu Huaifeng said happily, "We're lucky this time. I've walked this route a few times before, and it usually takes a long time before we feel like we're getting close. But we've only walked for three days and we already feel like we're on the right track. That means we're on the right track this time."
According to Chu Huaifeng, if one cannot enter the Immortal Palace Secret Realm, the distance to the Immortal Palace will remain the same regardless of which way one goes. However, those with special opportunities will see the Immortal Palace getting closer and closer. Those who follow the same route will disappear when they reach the gates of the Immortal Palace, while those who do not approach the Immortal Palace, even if they follow those who do, will not be able to enter. What they see is completely different from what those who can get close see.
Take him and his former companions, for example. On that occasion, his companions had already reached the gates of the Celestial Palace, but he could still only see the Celestial Palace from afar. It was as if the two of them were not walking in the same space. This ability was quite special.
However, the cultivators were used to this; the methods of the immortals were beyond the comprehension of those who had not yet ascended.
"The longevity flower we're looking for is inside the Immortal Palace. There's a medicinal garden in the Immortal Palace, filled with many precious spiritual herbs, including some that are even above level ten. Those rogue immortals even obtained some. If it weren't for the strong restrictions, I'm afraid all the spiritual herbs inside would have been dug up." Chu Huaifeng was quite intrigued; being able to enter the Immortal Palace meant a greater chance of obtaining the longevity flower.
