Chapter 147: Yuanying Old Monster
"Experience?" Ye Tian was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the other party had no intention of provoking him, there was no need for him to put himself in danger.
"That's right!" Luo Xuan nodded and explained, "There are many rare spiritual medicines in the Holy Mountain. As long as I find them, I can break through the bottleneck of cultivation and reach the realm of martial honor."
Hearing Luo Xuan's words, Ye Tian's heart was shaken violently, and his eyes shone with a fiery gleam.
"Really?" he asked urgently.
"Of course!" Luo Xuan smiled playfully, "Little brother, I'll go first!"
Luo Xuan left a few words and disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at Luo Xuan's disappearing back, Ye Tian's lips curled up slightly, but a huge wave was rising in his heart.
"So you are here to hunt for treasure, no wonder." Ye Tian murmured with his eyes narrowed.
He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the top of the mountain, muttering, "This should be the highest peak, and also the place of inheritance."
"But it's dangerous here, and I don't know if I can get in successfully." Ye Tian thought for a moment and decided to give it a try.
Afterwards, Ye Tian took a step forward and walked straight to the top of the mountain.
The higher he went, the more terrifying the evil spirit and resentment that permeated the surroundings became, making Ye Tian feel more exhausted.
Ye Tian was breathing heavily, his forehead was covered with dense sweat, and his whole body seemed to be soaked in mud.
Suddenly, Ye Tian's eyes blurred and he saw a huge rock blocking his way.
The surface of this stone is as smooth as a mirror, but if you look closely, you can see many ancient and obscure symbols on it.
Although Ye Tian did not understand any of these runes, the power they exuded made him tremble all over.
Ye Tian took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and struck the stone tablet with his right fist.
Then, a tremendous force erupted and hit the stone tablet hard.
There was a series of crackling sounds, and the huge stone tablet collapsed.
Dust scattered and fell, and a brand new cave appeared in front of Ye Tian.
There was a layer of hazy light shrouding the cave, through which one could vaguely see a fiery red plant standing in the center of the cave, emitting a blazing and dazzling light.
Is this the magical herb that Luo Xuan just mentioned?
Ye Tian's mind was extremely agitated, and he stared at the magical herb with burning eyes.
"call!"
He exhaled a breath of foul air, quickly came to the side of the spiritual herb, and stretched out his hand to grab the spiritual herb.
An invisible obstruction suddenly emerged, pushing Ye Tian's arm away and making it difficult for him to get any closer.
Ye Tian was extremely shocked. He never thought that this magical herb could actually set up a protective formation.
"Hmph!" Ye Tian snorted coldly. The energy in his body was circulated to the extreme, bursting out suddenly, and grabbed the spiritual herb again.
Bang!
The violent energy exploded instantly, turning into surging momentum that spread around.
The powerful force shook the entire space, and even caused several cracks visible to the naked eye to appear.
“Puff!”
This time, Ye Tian finally succeeded in catching the spiritual herb and was immediately overjoyed.
"Haha...it's mine!" Ye Tian grinned and pulled up the spiritual herb without hesitation and put it in his arms.
At this moment, a sinister voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Hehe... little kid, you are so brave. You actually dare to snatch my things?!"
"Who!" Ye Tian was startled and turned around quickly.
I saw a hunchbacked old man with white hair and beard slowly walking out of the darkness, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian's mind trembled violently, his face turned pale, and his mind was filled with horror.
What kind of face is this?
Simply put, this hunchbacked old man was like a walking corpse, his eyes were bloodthirsty, and his whole body exuded an endless breath of death.
Just by being glanced at by him, Ye Tian inexplicably developed a strong murderous intent in his heart.
"Jie..." The hunchbacked old man sneered evilly, his eyes flashing with strange blood light, which was creepy.
"Little kid, hand over the treasure obediently, or you will die!"
The old man spoke grimly, his tone filled with endless murderous intent.
Hearing this cold and harsh voice, Ye Tian couldn't help but shiver.
He involuntarily took a few steps back and put some distance between himself and the old man.
It’s not that he was afraid, but the aura released by the other party just now had reached the peak of Yuanying.
Although Ye Tian has the Golden Crow Spirit to protect him, he is still an old monster in the Yuanying stage after all. To put it bluntly, Jindan is still a mortal, but Yuanying is different. He has already cultivated the methods of flying and hiding in the ground.
If he were a Yuanying, he would definitely not give the old man in front of him the slightest bit of face, but he can't do that now.
If this old man goes crazy and hacks him to death, he won't even have anywhere to cry.
"Senior, I am sorry for disturbing you. I have no bad intention. I just want to take this magical herb away." Ye Tian said with a bow.
"Haha, kid, are you kidding me? Such nonsense can't even fool a three-year-old child!" said the hunchbacked old man coldly.
"Well…"
Ye Tian immediately smiled awkwardly, "Senior, you misunderstood me. I really didn't lie. This magical herb is indeed very special and it is worth a try for me."
"Hmph! Boy, do you think your life is too long? How dare you tease me!"
The hunchbacked old man roared angrily, and murderous aura suddenly emanated from his body, sweeping out like covering the sky and the earth.
Faced with such a terrifying momentum, Ye Tian only felt his chest tightness and suffocation, as if he was locked by some ancient ferocious beast.
No, I have to run!
This thought appeared in Ye Tian's mind, making him turn around and escape without hesitation.
"Huh? Can you run away?" The old man laughed wildly, and his aura suddenly increased. His figure instantly broke through the void and caught up with Ye Tian in the blink of an eye.
"Bang!" The old man stretched out his dry palms and slapped Ye Tian on the shoulders.
Ye Tian had no way to avoid it. He spat out a mouthful of blood instantly and his body went limp.
"Young man, you are so impatient at such a young age. I don't know how you are still alive today." The old man shook his head and sighed.
Ye Tian struggled to stand up, holding his chest, and said with gritted teeth: "Senior, we have no grudges against each other, why do you have to embarrass me?"
The old man frowned slightly and said, "I never need to explain anything to anyone. Besides, this is a magical medicine that I have cultivated with great effort. How can I allow an ant like you to get involved?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian was stunned. It turned out that the old man was not targeting him, but because of this magical medicine.
A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart: "Since you value this magical medicine so much, please be so kind as to spare my life."
"Haha, kid, it seems you haven't figured out the situation yet." The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I've already said that I've nurtured this magical medicine for seven or eight hundred years. It's the result of my life's hard work. How can you take it away?"
At this moment, he felt that the boy in front of him was quite interesting. It wasn't because of anything else, but because of his willingness to submit to him, at least he wouldn't kill anyone.
