Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 76: Golden Light

Fang Hong used his mind to communicate with the demon gourd, asking it to spit out the Azure Light Mouse’s spirit pill.

The demon gourd trembled slightly, and a white light flashed from its mouth. A thumb-sized purple spirit pill slowly floated out, suspending in his palm.

This spirit pill was crystal clear, emitting a soft purple glow. Spiritual Qi coiled around it, and a pure spiritual power, several times more potent than a fourth-grade spirit pill, surged towards him!

Fang Hong looked at the spirit pill, secretly delighted. A spirit pill refined from a fifth-grade demonic beast was indeed extraordinary in quality, far surpassing those from fourth-grade demonic beasts.

But then, Fang Hong’s gaze fell on the Azure Light Mouse’s demon core in his hand.

When the demon gourd refined the spirit pill, he had taken out the demon core separately, not refining it along with the corpse. Would this affect the efficacy of the spirit pill refined by the demon gourd?

This question lingered in Fang Hong’s mind.

He stared at the purple spirit pill, then looked at the demon core. Perhaps he would only know by killing a few more fifth-grade demonic beasts later and comparing them.

Fang Hong made up his mind that whenever he encountered a fifth-grade demonic beast in the future, he would try refining them separately to see the difference.

After putting everything away, Fang Hong continued to wander in the central area, attempting to find the legendary ten-thousand-year spirit medicine...

Time came to the eighteenth day, and nearly two-thirds of his journey in Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden had passed. Fang Hong’s figure moved through the mountains and forests.

These past few days, he had gained a lot, and the spirit medicine and spirit pills in his storage bag had increased significantly.

However, he still hadn’t encountered the legendary ten-thousand-year spirit medicine, which inevitably left him feeling a bit disappointed.

It seemed the central area wasn’t as mysterious as Elder Chen Tong had described. Taking demonic beasts as an example, there were indeed many more demonic beasts in the central area.

During his observations these past few days, Fang Hong found that the central area was still dominated by fourth-grade demonic beasts. He had only encountered one fifth-grade demonic beast, and he had cunningly killed it using the Shadow Divine Art.

As for sixth-grade demonic beasts, Fang Hong had seen one, but he only took a glance before immediately pasting several speed talismans and fleeing, not daring to linger for a moment and invite trouble.

Fifth and sixth-grade demonic beasts were still relatively rare, which made Fang Hong feel much safer while exploring the central area.

He guessed that these advanced demonic beasts might all be in seclusion Cultivating in some cave...

With this thought, Fang Hong’s courage grew a bit, and he continued to delve deeper into Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden.

Besides the Azure Light Mouse, Fang Hong also refined another fifth-grade demonic beast into a spirit pill, and this time, he refined it along with its demon core.

After comparing, he found that the spirit pills refined with the demon core were significantly better, with purer spiritual power and stronger effects. The presence or absence of the demon core made a considerable difference.

Therefore, if he didn’t have a need for alchemy in the future, Fang Hong would feed the demon core along with the demonic beast to the demon gourd, as this produced better spirit pills.

At this moment, Fang Hong arrived in front of a small mountain.

This small mountain was covered in a large amount of vines, making it look quite peculiar from a distance.

He had originally tracked a fourth-grade peak water fox here, but unfortunately, the water fox was extremely fast and ultimately escaped.

Fang Hong shook his head helplessly, only able to continue searching for his next target.

Just as Fang Hong was about to turn and leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden light flashing deep within the vines!

Fang Hong’s face showed surprise; he definitely hadn’t seen wrong, there had indeed been a golden light just now!

Could there be something hidden inside the small mountain? Fang Hong couldn’t help but wonder.

This thought arose in Fang Hong’s mind, causing him to stop and begin carefully examining the small mountain.

After observing for a while, Fang Hong’s gaze fell deep within the vines, where a faint cave came into view.

This cave was extremely well hidden; if he hadn’t stopped to examine it carefully, he would never have discovered it.

Fang Hong stood there, observing quietly, when suddenly, that mysterious golden light flashed again. Although it was only for an instant, Fang Hong sharply caught it!

"Could there really be a treasure inside?!" Fang Hong was secretly alarmed, his heart rate quickening a few beats.

To find out, Fang Hong extended his divine sense little by little, cautiously sensing for any dangerous aura inside.

Never mind the treasure, it might even be the lair of some advanced demonic beast...

After sensing for a while, Fang Hong didn’t detect any dangerous aura, so it seemed to be safe for now. This discovery put his mind at ease.

Then, Fang Hong manipulated the Ice Spirit Sword, hacking at the thick vines entwining the cave entrance.

"Swish swish swish," the Ice Spirit Sword was incredibly sharp, and soon, a large pile of vines was cut away, revealing a cave entrance about a zhang in size.

The cave entrance led to a dark passage, extending into the mountain.

To prevent anyone from discovering it, Fang Hong took out two formation flags and set up a small concealment formation around the entrance, hiding the cave’s appearance.

After setting up the protection, Fang Hong held a Thunder Thorn Talisman and walked along the passage, wanting to explore this mysterious cave.

As he went deeper, the light in the passage grew darker and darker, making it impossible to see his hand in front of his face.

Fang Hong had no choice but to take out a Spirit Stone, inject spiritual power into it, and make it emit a soft glow to illuminate the path ahead...

After walking for about several hundred zhang, Fang Hong finally reached the end of the passage, where a tall wall blocked his way.

Looking at this tall wall, he was greatly surprised.

The rocks of this tall wall were neatly arranged, and its surface was smooth and flat. It was clearly not naturally formed, but rather built by a Cultivator using a spell!

What surprised Fang Hong even more was that his divine sense detected formation restrictions on the wall, occasionally emitting a golden light.

The golden light Fang Hong had seen earlier must have been emanating from it.

"Who set up something like this here?" Fang Hong pondered, this wall was somewhat unusual.

Out of curiosity, Fang Hong decided to break through this wall to see what was behind it, so mysteriously.

This restriction was not too advanced; it should have been set up by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. With his current formation attainments, he could completely break it.

Having made up his mind, Fang Hong took out three Blue Lightning Flying Needles and directed them to pierce the three corners of the wall.

In an instant, golden light flowed on the wall, and a layer of golden protective shield emerged, guarding the entire wall.

Fang Hong summoned the Ice Spirit Sword and used the Giant Sword Art, stabbing the Ice Spirit Sword into the middle of the wall. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The golden protective shield on the wall became even more dazzling, with dense golden runes flowing on it, desperately resisting Fang Hong’s attack.

The light shield only lasted for a moment before cracks began to appear from the middle, rapidly spreading across the entire shield.

Finally, with a crisp "bang," the entire light shield completely shattered, turning into specks of golden light and disappearing into the air.

Fang Hong retrieved the Blue Lightning Flying Needles, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the Ice Spirit Sword towards the wall.

"Boom!" With a resounding crash, deprived of the restriction’s protection, the wall was no match and was instantly broken by Fang Hong.

He cautiously stepped over the wall, and when he saw the scene behind it, his eyes instantly widened, and he stood frozen in place, stunned.

"Uh! Golden... golden thunder bamboo!!" Fang Hong was in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly!
