Chapter 14 - 14 11 Dragon Blood Grass

14: Chapter 11 Dragon Blood Grass 14: Chapter 11 Dragon Blood Grass Within the valley rich in spiritual energy, the mist-like nature’s spiritual energy enveloped the valley in a foggy haze, as if taking a casual breath could make one feel the True Qi inside their body strengthen by a bit. The density of the spiritual energy here was terrifyingly high! Ye Xuan and his party had already followed the direction of the burst of spiritual energy and arrived in this valley. Wu Sha and Chen Tai, along with others, were also searching nearby for the source that triggered the eruption of spiritual energy, the location of heavenly and earthly treasures. The valley was not small in size and was extremely narrow and long with a complex terrain. To find a herb in this was undoubtedly somewhat difficult, and the earlier commotion had also attracted many Demon Beasts, further increasing the difficulty of the search. Moreover, they had to accelerate their pace since Demon Beasts coveted such heavenly and earthly treasures. Swoosh! Flashing through the trees, Ye Xuan quickly navigated through the valley. In his past life, he had seen all sorts of precious heavenly and earthly treasures, so he would certainly recognize them at first sight should he encounter any. His gaze swept rapidly around him, sensing the faint movements of spiritual energy in the air, and he continued to make his way deep into the valley. About ten minutes later, Ye Xuan arrived at an open space. The ground was barren, and the few plants that grew there were withered and yellow, devoid of life. “According to the flow of the spiritual energy, it should be around here.” With a faint grasp of the spiritual energy, Ye Xuan had found this place. Although the eruption of spiritual energy had ended, some remnants still existed, leaving a traceable trajectory. However, the scene before him didn’t seem like a place where heavenly and earthly treasures would exist. Frowning slightly, Ye Xuan walked a few steps forward and searched around. Finding nothing, he planned to leave and search elsewhere. But as he turned to leave, out of the corner of his eye he saw a dark red grass hidden amidst the wilted flowers and weeds, making it very difficult to spot. Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up and he quickly approached, crouched down, and brushed away the dead grass. Instantly, the dark red herb revealed itself, red all over, shaped like a dragon with just two leaves, exuding a vibrant and vigorous aura. “Is this… Dragon Blood Grass?” A trace of disbelief emerged in his eyes, and Ye Xuan carefully uprooted the herb along with its roots. After examining it closely, he was able to confirm that this herb was indeed Dragon Blood Grass without a doubt! Unexpectedly, he had come across Dragon Blood Grass here! Ye Xuan was overjoyed. Compared to Meridian Clearing Grass, Dragon Blood Grass was several times more precious! After all, as precious as Meridian Clearing Grass was, it was but a Mortal Grade herb, whereas Dragon Blood Grass was an Earth-grade Spiritual Medicine. Therefore, even for martial masters, Dragon Blood Grass was greatly useful for training the meridians and bones to outstanding effect. As martial artists know, during cultivation, meridians and the body are undoubtedly very important. Strong bodies are useful in the early stages, while meridians are the pathways through which True Qi flows. Strong meridians can hold more True Qi, making the Dragon Blood Grass, which can widen and stabilize the meridians, an invaluable treasure. Who would have thought that in the outskirts of Panlong Mountain, a stalk of Dragon Blood Grass would appear? Such luck was almost too good to be true. “Is that Dragon Blood Grass?!” Just as Ye Xuan was about to put away the Dragon Blood Grass, a voice filled with ecstatic surprise came from not far ahead. Jing Tian had, unbeknownst to him, appeared in the clearing and was now staring greedily at the Dragon Blood Grass in Ye Xuan’s hand. This was a treasure that one could only stumble upon by chance. But before Jing Tian could take another look, Ye Xuan placed the Dragon Blood Grass into a brocade box he had prepared earlier and pocketed it. “Ye Xuan, give me the Dragon Blood Grass! In exchange, I can help you deal with Wu Sha and ensure your safety, how about it?” Seeing Ye Xuan pack away the Dragon Blood Grass, Jing Tian’s expression changed, and he immediately shouted in a stern voice. “No need, I have my own ways to deal with Wu Sha.” Ye Xuan spoke indifferently. The Dragon Blood Grass was the key for him to open the last of the Miracle Scriptures and advance to the Martial Master Realm. How could he possibly hand it over? “Is that so? Today, if you don’t hand over the Dragon Blood Grass, you won’t be leaving here.” A fierce glint crossed his face, Jing Tian also gathered his True Qi, his eyes flashing with a ruthless light. He was determined to have the Dragon Blood Grass. “You’ve been wanting to strike at me already, haven’t you? Now that there’s no one else here, isn’t this exactly what you wanted? If you want the Dragon Blood Grass, just try to take it by force.” Ye Xuan’s mouth curled up slightly. It seemed the account of the other’s sneak attack hadn’t been settled yet. Unexpectedly, the man had come looking for trouble again, so let’s settle both old and new scores together and resolve the grudges here. “You think I won’t dare? Don’t think that just because you held up for a moment against Wu Sha, you can really match the Martial Master Realm! Now, I’ll show you the difference between us!” Jing Tian sneered, then suddenly raised his palm, lifting off the ground, his hand turning into a claw, and he struck fiercely. As the claw reached out, there seemed to be the echo of a hawk’s screech, aiming directly for Ye Xuan’s throat. “You’re not even qualified to talk about a gap.” Ye Xuan’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp glint, as he took a deep breath. In that instant, Ye Xuan’s body underwent a change, his torso and limbs swelling as if inflated, making him appear like a powerfully built man, his body brimming with strength. “Swallowing the Mountains and Rivers!” With a powerful punch, an invisible domineering aura erupted, as if it could shatter a mountain and swallow a river, and it slammed hard onto Jing Tian’s Claw Light. Bang! S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The clash of claw and fist set off a thunderous blast. In that moment, a “crack” was heard, and Jing Tian’s hand claw suddenly bent, his fingers fracturing. With a scream, Jing Tian retreated to the distance, his gaze towards Ye Xuan filled with venomous resentment. “Bastard, I actually forgot your brute strength, daring to injure my precious body. Today, you’re dead for sure.” He had foolishly attacked Ye Xuan’s strength with his own weakness, which was truly stupid. “Fiery Fire Burning Palm!” Jing Tian had a fiercened look in his eyes, his arms heating up as if strong flames were shooting out from his palms, eventually turning into a beautiful flow of fire sparks, as if fierce flames were engulfing the sky, the momentum horrifying. Seeing the sweeping blaze of Palm Force, Ye Xuan’s face also became serious. He was fully focused as he drew the treasure sword from behind him, then poured True Qi into the blade with both arms. The flow of True Qi was like babbling water, and when the infusion reached a certain level, Ye Xuan’s figure soared up, leaping forward with the sword in hand, charging into the firelight. “Fool, it’s like a moth to the flame!” Seeing Ye Xuan engulfed by the fire Palm Force, Jing Tian couldn’t help but mockingly smile. The Fiery Fire Burning Palm was a famous Martial Art of the Jing family, and although he had only mastered a bit, its power was undeniable; with Ye Xuan’s abilities, to break through his Fiery Fire Burning Palm was a fool’s dream. However, the next moment, his face stiffened, because in his line of sight, the fire Palm Force was suddenly split right down the middle, divided into two waves, and a figure broke through, throwing a fierce punch—it was Ye Xuan! “Impossible!” Jing Tian’s face was filled with disbelief, but at the same time, his face had been struck by the punch, two bloody teeth immediately knocked out, and his body slammed hard against a big tree, spewing out mouthfuls of blood. “You think you’re a genius, but you don’t realize you’re a fool, if I were you, I wouldn’t underestimate my opponent.” Ye Xuan looked at Jing Tian as if he were looking at an idiot. In martial arts battles, the power of Martial Arts is certainly important, but combat techniques are also a vital aspect, such as exploiting elemental weaknesses, using finesse over brute force; all this falls within the realm of technique. Ye Xuan, a former Martial God powerhouse in his previous life, naturally had his own set of combat strategies, not something a youngster like Jing Tian could even discuss. More so, since Jing Tian hadn’t taken him seriously, victory became even easier. Swoosh, swoosh! At this time, the sounds of the wind in the surrounding forest could be heard, and several figures appeared, shocking even Wu Sha and his group. Looking at the injured Jing Tian not far away, then at the unscathed Ye Xuan on the other side, Wu Sha was also taken aback. These two had clearly been through a battle, but the victor seemed to be that Seventh Grade Martial Student? “Wu Sha, you arrived just in time!” Seeing Wu Sha arrive, Jing Tian was overjoyed, then pointed at Ye Xuan with gritted teeth, “The Dragon Blood Grass has already been obtained by this kid. The only plan for now is for the two of us to join forces against him, giving us a chance. Once we get the Dragon Blood Grass, we’ll split it evenly, how about it?” “What, Dragon Blood Grass?” Wu Sha’s eyes lit up, his heart greatly stirred. He knew the value of Dragon Blood Grass; even if he didn’t use it himself, selling it in the Spiritual Medicine market would fetch an exorbitant price. “This kid is surprisingly tough. Fine, I’ll join forces with you, and we’ll deal with this kid first.” Two First Grade martial masters teaming up against a Seventh Grade martial student would no doubt be a big joke, but the reality was in front of them; Jing Tian, of the same realm, was beaten by Ye Xuan so badly he was seeking teeth on the ground. If they didn’t work together, they might really have no chance of winning. For the sake of Dragon Blood Grass, even if it meant losing face, it was worth it.
