It was unknown what kind of strange existence these flowers were, but they were extremely dangerous. Once a cultivator came into contact with them, they would plunged into their flesh and blood, and their flesh and blood essence would be devoured in an extremely short time, turning them into dried bones.
However, the Golden Crow True Fire was so tyrannical that these flowers could not resist at all.
The three groups either died or fled, leaving Yang Kai alone in the valley.
Taking a step forward, he stepped into the world of dandelions, the flower balls disintegrating and the flowers once again dancing.
Flames surged around Yang Kai’s body as he created a path and soon arrived in front of the great medicine. As he leaned over and sniffed the fragrance, his expression couldn’t help becoming excited.
“Good stuff!” Yang Kai couldn’t help praising. Although he didn’t know the specific effects of this great medicine, he couldn’t deny that it was one of the few Spirit Medicine he had ever seen.
Reaching out, he grabbed the bunch of grape-like berries and prepared to pluck them.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and with a light crackling sound, roots shot out from the ground and quickly wrapped around Yang Kai before pulling him down.
With a loud bang, Yang Kai disappeared into the depths of the earth.
Three breaths later, Yang Kai broke out of the ground and flew into a rage!
In a moment of carelessness, he had been ambushed by a great medicine. The roots that had wrapped around him just now were obviously the work of this vine. Although the strength of these roots was great, they were unable to restrain his explosive strength and allowed him to quickly escape.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Kai sneered, “Originally, I didn’t want to kill you, but unfortunately you’ve gone too far!”
He reached out and grabbed the vine.
His original plan was to take the bunch of grape-like berries, which contained the essence of this great medicine. After suffering a loss, he immediately changed his mind and wanted to move the entire vine.
Unexpectedly, before he could grab the vine, it suddenly trembled and pulled out its roots from the ground. A few sprouts also grew from the vine’s branches, and in an instant, the vine seemed to have grown arms and legs as it fled into the distance.
Yang Kai was stunned.
Staring blankly at the great medicine that was fleeing into the distance, he was stunned.
This great medicine had a spirit!
Yang Kai was both surprised and delighted. When he was ambushed by this vine, he had already felt that this great medicine was somewhat extraordinary, but now it seemed that it was indeed the case. This Spirit Medicine had lived in the Unaging Land for countless years, and after absorbing the World Essence, it had developed its own sentience and had developed its own instincts. It knew how to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and when it sensed something was wrong, it actually took the initiative to escape.
Such a great medicine would definitely have extraordinary medicinal efficacies. There were probably not many in the entire Three Thousand Worlds.
Delighted, Yang Kai flashed to the front of the vine and smiled, “Where can you escape to in front of this King? Surrender obediently.”
The giant hand descended, binding the space.
The vine waved its branches and cut through space, wrapping around Yang Kai’s arms and legs, forming a fist that flew towards his face.
Yang Kai was shocked again, and after being hit in the nose by the vine, he saw stars.
Seizing this opportunity, the vine once again broke free from Yang Kai’s entanglement and continued to flee.
Yang Kai covered his nose as tears streamed down his face. Embarrassed, he summoned his Azure Dragon Spear and threw it forward. The spear tore through the air, like a giant dragon dancing in the sky, and the Azure Dragon Spear stabbed into the vine with incredible precision, causing the world to tremble.
The vines stopped and trembled.
Yang Kai’s breathing was heavy as he approached from behind, rubbing his nose as he walked.
With a plop, the vine’s roots went limp and fell to the ground, transforming into a half foot tall humanoid, with hands feet, seven orifices, and a bunch of grape-like berries on its head.
Seeing Yang Kai approach, it raised its hand and plucked a purple red grape from his head. Holding it with both hands, he spoke in the human tongue, “Great Master, please spare my life. This lowly one is willing to offer a fruit to you, please spare my life!”
Yang Kai couldn’t help rubbing his nose as he stared at him in shock, “You… you can transform shape?”
This great medicine had really gained sentience and had taken on a human form. It looked like an old man who had lived for countless years.
Everything in this world had a spirit, and if one obtained an opportunity, they would be able to gain sentience. In this world, it wasn’t just existences with flesh and blood that could achieve such a feat. The Jade Essence in the Stone and the Spirit Medicine could do so as well, but without a body of flesh and blood, it was extremely difficult for such existences to cultivate, often requiring countless years of accumulation. The great medicine in front of him had gained sentience and was able to transform into a human form, even able to speak in the human tongue. It probably had tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
Such a great medicine could be called a Holy Medicine!
The little old man, who was half a foot tall, raised his head and smiled flatteringly. Suddenly, he stretched out his leg and swept it towards Yang Kai’s lower body, knocking him to the ground before laughing and running away, “Even if you’re as cunning as a ghost, you should still drink Grandpa Pu’s foot wash!”
Yang Kai stood up and grabbed the Azure Dragon Spear, his face as black as the bottom of a pot as he muttered, “I’ll kill you, I’ll definitely kill you and eat you clean!”
A moment later, with a plop, the half-foot-tall old man fell to his knees, his facial features squeezed together as he held a grape he had plucked from his head with both hands and said pitifully, “Great Master, please spare my life, this lowly one will never dare to do so again!”
Yang Kai sneered as he grabbed him in his hand, clenched his fist, and pressed it against his forehead, grinding his teeth, “Speak, how do you want to die!”
The little old man’s face distorted as he begged for mercy, “Sir, please don’t drill anymore, my head is about to break… Eh, it’s quite comfortable.” The two roots scratched his face and his facial features relaxed, looking quite comfortable.
Yang Kai was furious and quickly summoned a ball of Golden Crow True Fire, slowly approaching him.
The little old man’s face twisted again as he struggled to break free from Yang Kai’s grasp, shaking his head repeatedly, “No, no, no, I’ll burn to death.”
“If I burn you to death, I’ll be able to make a pot of medicinal soup. Drinking it will definitely prolong my life and increase my strength greatly!” Yang Kai’s expression was terrifying.
“I’m poisonous, you can’t eat me, if you eat me, I’ll poison you to death,” The little old man cried out in horror. Seeing Yang Kai’s indifference, he quickly used his trump card, “Don’t kill me, I can take you to find other medicines, they’re more delicious.”
Yang Kai’s hands paused for a moment, “Other medicines? Like you?”
The little old man shook his head, “A few of them are like me, some of these little brats haven’t fully matured yet, but eating them will definitely be useful.”
The little brats he spoke of should all be existences that had yet to undergo transformation, but even if they had not, they should have grown for many years. If they were discovered by the cultivators who entered this place, they would definitely be a hot commodity.
“Do you know of a fruit tree that has a kind of Spirit Fruit growing on it? Every time it can only be harvested once, then it will disappear!” Yang Kai asked. He had been worrying about where to find the Innate Fruit Tree, but he hadn’t expected to encounter such a strange Holy Medicine. This was the perfect opportunity to obtain some information.
“You mean that fruit tree?” The little old man thought for a moment, “I know, that old thing is even older than me, it’s quite difficult to provoke.”
Yang Kai was overjoyed, “Bring me there and I’ll spare your life!”
The little old man was also overjoyed and his eyes lit up, “Really?” Suddenly, he looked at Yang Kai suspiciously, “You swear!”
Yang Kai raised his fist and punched him on the head, “Your life is in my hands, do you want me to swear?”
The little old man covered the big bump on his head in grievance.
“The berries just now…” Yang Kai looked over his head.
The little old man reluctantly handed over the berries, “Here.”
Yang Kai took it and carefully examined it, discovering that this fruit was similar to a grape, but the Spiritual Energy contained within it was extremely astonishing. If he were to consume this fruit, not only would it help him recover, but it would also help him heal his injuries.
Opening his mouth, Yang Kai stuffed the fruit into his mouth and bit through its skin, only to feel an incomparably pure Spiritual Energy explode from his mouth, as if a miniature universe had exploded in his mouth.
Yang Kai quickly sealed his mouth and nose, but he still couldn’t suppress the Spiritual Energy leaking from his seven orifices. In a radius of a thousand feet, a dense Spiritual Energy filled the air.
The little old man watched from the side, his facial features pinched together as he sighed, “From now on, my Pu Baixiong, will be changed to Pu Jiujiuxiong!”
There were exactly a hundred berries on his head, which was why he was called Pu Baixiong. Now that Yang Kai had eaten one, there were only ninety-nine left.
After a long time, Yang Kai let out a sigh of relief as he felt an inexhaustible amount of energy flow through his body, causing his flesh and blood to wriggle about and his blood to flow.
Pu Baixiong’s berries had extraordinary medicinal efficacies. Although they weren’t strong enough to revive the dead, as long as they were still breathing, they would be able to be brought back to life from the gate of hell.
Yang Kai turned to look at Pu Baixiong and found him much more pleasing to the eye.
“Don’t even think about it, if you try to escape again, I’ll catch you and eat you,” Yang Kai threatened fiercely.
Pu Baixiong nodded repeatedly, “No, no, i won't escape.”
“Take me to that fruit tree!” Yang Kai ordered.
Pu Baixiong leapt up and sat on Yang Kai’s shoulder, guiding him.
Pu Baixiong was the local of this Unaging Land. He had lived here for a long time and knew a great deal about the Unaging Land. Moreover, he had long since taken human form and had been travelling around the Unaging Land for many years. With him guiding him, Yang Kai was able to save a lot of trouble.
Along the way, Yang Kai avoided many dangers, and under Pu Baixiong’s guidance, Yang Kai also obtained many rare treasures, but he didn’t encounter any Holy Medicine like Pu Baixiong. According to Pu Baixiong, in the entire Unaging Land, there were only ten Holy Medicicne that could take human form, and each of them was as cunning as a ghost and difficult to capture. The main reason he had failed so miserably was because he hadn’t expected Yang Kai to ignore the threat of those dandelion seeds. By the time he wanted to escape, it was already too late.
A few days later, Yang Kai arrived in front of a swamp.
Pu Baixiong’s expression became solemn, “Master, this place is very dangerous, you must be careful not to fall down. If you fall down, both of us will die here!”
