Luo Tian needed spiritual herbs, but he only had a pair of hands. No matter how fast he was, he couldn’t gather them all by himself.
Moreover, he was responsible for leading the way and protecting all of them. Therefore, he had no time to gather the needed spiritual herbs.
But the disciples of the Bai family had time, and they needed something to do.
Now, they can gather spiritual herbs and gain contribution points. This was considered a very good thing for them. They wanted to clean out the entire Boundless Mountain Range of spiritual herbs if they could.
Having said that, the Boundless Mountain Range was rarely entered by anyone, and even experienced medicinal herb farmers wouldn’t dare to enter unless forced to do so. Therefore, the area was very rich in spiritual herbs, including many high grade ones.
“Boss, I want to go gather spiritual herbs too,” said Bai Xiong while scratching his head. His eyes were filled with envy as he watched a large group of Bai family brothers, all busy collecting spiritual herbs. Thinking about the events of these past few days, he couldn’t wait to become strong quickly.
On the other side was Lin Dong. He didn’t say anything, but he was jealous to death inside.
Spiritual medicine was the greatest support for a cultivator.
A good spiritual medicine can help a person quickly break through. The kind of pill Luo Tian just mentioned was the Sun Spirit Pill, which can enable a person to crazily absorb the yuan energy of the heavens and earth for a brief period of time. This process will allow the user to break through more easily.
But neither of them had contribution points.
Luo Tian smiled, “You guys just stay honest and clear the path. Don’t you see all the thorns and bushes all over the mountain? If no one clears the path, when do you think we can get out of the Boundless Mountains? Of course… I will give you guys some contribution points based on your performance.”
Bai Xiong chuckled, “Boss, you’re the one that said it.”
Luo Tian replied, “Of course, I’m true to my words.”
At this moment, Lin Dong had run ahead of them.
The machete in his hand was slashing out quickly, and a path was being cleared.
Bai Xiong rushed over and exclaimed, “Damn, Lin Dong! Aren’t you a bit too crafty?”
Luo Tian smiled when he saw those two going crazy. He wasn’t too worried because Illusion Fairy had cleaned up a lot of demonic beasts yesterday. There shouldn’t be any left within a few kilometers.
But Luo Tian still reminded the group, “The brothers gathering herbs need to make sure they don’t stray too far off. Don’t get lost just for a stalk of spiritual herbs. Bai Lingling, please keep an eye on the surroundings. This is the Boundless Mountains, so a powerful demonic beast could jump out all of a sudden.”
Bai Lingling nodded, “En~, I know.”
Luo Tian looked at Bai Lingling and noticed her eyes were still a bit red. She hadn’t smiled in the past two days. Luo Tian could tell by her eyes that it was full of hatred and yearning for her father’s vengeance.
Luo Tian’s heart tightened before he sighed to himself. “Don’t worry, I will take care of that despicable bastard Deng Leigong one day. At that time, I will definitely deliver his head to Uncle Bai’s grave.”
They cleared a path during the day into the depths of the Boundless Mountain Range.
At night, they would stop to rest. Luo Tian wouldn’t rest but concoct medicine from the spiritual herbs gathered during that day.
His alchemy skills soared due to this.
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was five days later.
It only took them one day to leave the area that Illusion Fairy had cleared of demonic beasts. After that, their speed had decreased considerably. Luo Tian didn’t dare to rush ahead quickly and only proceeded cautiously. During those four days, Luo Tian tried to avoid all the powerful demonic beasts. When he couldn’t avoid them, he would find ways to lure them away.
If their group encountered a rank five demonic beast, Luo Tian would select some disciples and attack it together.
He wanted to use those demonic beasts as training dummies.
At the same time, Luo Tian was giving pointers on the side. Being able to link their attacks as a combo and control their consumption of yuan energy would result in their martial arts reaching a state of perfection. R̃ÂꞐ∅𝐛ÊṠ
When they encountered a rank four demonic beast, Bai Lingling would be the first to attack it. She was training her martial skills, and her combo strikes like she didn’t care for her life.
Compared to previous days, her abilities had improved, and she no longer looked like a naive noble lady who lived in Towering Cloud City.
She would be injured each time but would still charge ahead first on the next encounters.
Apart from her, Bai Xiong, Lin Dong, and some Bai family disciples trained the same way. Under Luo Tian’s directions, these people underwent a qualitative leap in their combat skills. They were completely different from before.
Each day, someone would make a breakthrough.
Each day, someone would improve their consecutive strikes by one.
Each day, someone’s understanding of yuan energy usage would improve.
Everything was developing in the right direction.
Since Luo Tian promised Bai Qi, he would do it with all his strength. Either don’t do it, or do it with all your strength. A gold level force? His goal was to surpass a king level force and become the strongest force in all of the Ancient World’s history!
Once three days went by, the seed of the Ancient Tree in Luo Tian’s mind automatically devoured another 100,000 of his yuan energy. It was still the same small bud as it was at the beginning, without the slightest change. Luo Tian was completely at a loss as to what to do with the Ancient Tree, and could only wait for it to grow slowly. As for when it would grow into a towering tree and allow him to use the Power of Antiquity, Luo Tian had no idea.
But he believed he would see it one day.
Luo Tian and his group of Bai family disciples were deep into the heart of the Boundless Mountains after five days.
From time to time, the sound of demonic beasts howling like ghosts could be heard in the dark jungle.
The sound made everyone tremble in fear.
When Lin Dong chopped down at a bush, a ray of strong light suddenly shone onto the group, revealing another world that looked like an untouched paradise.
“Boss! Quickly come look!” Lin Dong shouted in shock.
The surrounding people were attracted by the sudden light, stretching their necks and trying to peer through.
Everything in front of them looked like that of a lost civilization. It was extremely large, larger than Towering Cloud City, with magnificent pavilions and buildings of every kind. It was domineering in every way, showing the glory of its past.
Luo Tian was dumbstruck by what he was seeing.
It was similar to watching Jurassic Park, the Lost World, in his previous life.
Bai Lingling suddenly said, “Could this be the Boundless Sect I’ve heard of in legends?”
Someone in the crowd immediately said, “Are you talking about the Boundless Sect, which was once very close to becoming a king level force?”
“Could it be that they really exist?”
“I thought they were only a legend.”
“I never imagined it was really in the Boundless Mountain Range, and it’s much bigger than I thought. Look at how magnificent and domineering these buildings are!”
“Rumors say that the Boundless Sect offended a powerful devil sect, who then sent a sorcerer over that directly caused their downfall. That sorcerer extracted the souls of many of its disciples, condemning them to eternal suffering and damnation.”
“Boss, are we going in?”
