flowing into the sea. In the end, they all transformed into tiny streaks of lightning and merged into the orb."This..."Feng Qianli stood in mid-air, dumbfounded. Ever since he met this young man, the...Ye Bufan journeyed for a hundred miles, only setting up several barriers once he was sure the surroundings were safe.

He began to count his spoils. The two servants he had slain previously hadn't carried much in their storage rings, just some low-grade Xianjing, which he directly stored within the Dragon King Hall.

Then he took over Yanqing's ring, and with a sweep of his divine sense, his eyes lit up.

Inside, there are countless inferior fairy crystals, looking to be around six or seven hundred thousand. There are also some spirit herbs and grasses, even including high-level sixth and seventh order ones.

These treasures and his cultivation level are completely mismatched, it seems that identity is at play, that elder grandfather must have given him a lot of good things.

Thinking of Yan Qing delivering the message back to the sect before his death, he couldn't help but smirk.

It's just as well I was well-prepared beforehand, so I directly used Chu Xiao's appearance and name.

This guy has repeatedly schemed against me before, hoping this time he could bring back a little surprise.

Time passed little by little. Afterward, although he encountered a few dangerous situations, they were nothing to him now.

Three days later, the shadow of the fairy grass was still nowhere to be found.

Ye Bufan took a look at the map and saw that according to the markings, he had entered the location of the third layer.

The quagmire of the Fallen Immortals was boundless and endless, with no one knowing where its edge lay.

The locations depicted on the map in front of me are divided into five levels, with each level being more dangerous than the last. Even cultivators above the Golden Immortal realm can only reach the third layer.

The map is very detailed, and according to the markings, there is a key area for collecting spirit herbs not far ahead.

This area is relatively less dangerous, while spiritual herbs are easier to find than in other places.

The next day, Ye Bufan found several rare third-order spiritual herbs one after another.

Just as he was about to leave the area, a faint fragrance suddenly wafted over.

This taste is very peculiar, sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter, sometimes burnt, as if it's constantly changing.

He sniffed forcefully, and then an irrepressible excitement spread across his face.

"Return to the Immortal Grass, this is the taste of Return to the Immortal Grass when it's ripe!"

According to the descriptions passed down through generations of ancient Chinese medicine practitioners, Hui Xiancao (return immortal grass) is not a particularly high-grade medicinal herb, but it is extremely difficult to find. Its most notable characteristic is that its scent constantly changes when it matures.

"It was worth the trip after all!"

On thinking this, he had no further doubts and quickly ran in the direction from which the smell came.

Ten miles away, there is a water pond with a radius of about one kilometer, floating on the top of the Xianyu swamp.

The pond is not too deep, about one or two meters, crystal clear.

In the middle of the pond, a sprig of spiritual grass floats. The left side is emerald green while the right side is withered yellow, and from time to time, a faint fragrance wafts out - it is the Returning Immortal Grass.

In front of the pond, three middle-aged immortals were besieging a huge monster fish at this time.

This fish is huge and ferocious, its mouth full of teeth gleaming menacingly as it charges at the three of them relentlessly.

The Tier 3 fairy beast Iron-Tooth Flying Fish is ferocious, with powerful attacks and astonishing speed.

And those three were also powerful, having all reached the early stage of Jinxian.

If they fought alone, they probably wouldn't be a match for this Iron-Tooth Flying Fish. But together, it's a different story.

The three Golden Immortals were obviously experienced, cooperating seamlessly and advancing and retreating with precision. They continuously inflicted wounds on the Iron-toothed Flying Fish, depleting its strength.

The three fought the beast for a full hour. Although the Iron-Toothed Flying Fish was ferocious, it couldn't withstand their combined efforts.

The wounds on his body grew more and more, the blood flowing less and less, the consumption increasing, and the speed decreasing.

Seeing victory in sight, all three revealed expressions of joy.

But just then, their expressions changed suddenly. They saw Tiechi Flying Fish stop dodging and take the three people's joint attack head-on.

At the same time, using the rebounding force, he charged directly into the water pool.

"Oh no, this beast is going to destroy the Huixian Grass!"

All three realized this, and Tie Chi Fei Yu, seeing that he was doomed, wanted to destroy the Huixiancao in a last-ditch effort.

It was too late; they had underestimated the celestial monster before them after all, and it was already past the point of stopping it.

As the iron-toothed flying fish swam to the center of the pool, it opened its mouth and bit down on the elixir grass.

This is an animal instinct, just like a musk deer, even when dying, they desperately try to damage their musk glands.

The third-order fairy beast already had spiritual intelligence and knew these people were here for the fairy herb. It had guarded it for so long, it couldn't just let others take it for nothing.

That's why, even in death, it will destroy this thing.

Three people, filled with despair, fought for so long. All their efforts were about to be in vain.

Just then, a figure flashed and a young man appeared between the Rejuvenating Immortal Grass and the Iron-Tooth Flying Fish.

The sword in his hand flashed, instantly cleaving the head of the Iron-Tooth Flying Fish.

It was Ye Bufan who came. After searching for so long, he finally saw the return to Xiancao. He couldn't let this fish ruin it.

The three people were both surprised and delighted by the sight. They were delighted that the Rejuvenating Immortal Grass had been saved, but they were also surprised by the young man before them, who possessed such powerful cultivation.

They had only just managed to suppress the Iron-toothed Flying Fish together, but were then killed by a single sword strike.

Thus, the ownership of the fairy grass becomes a mystery again, and it might even lead to another battle.

Ye Bufan extended his hand, drawing the inner elixir of the Iron Scale Flying Fish into his palm. He then turned his gaze to the three people before him.

"Greetings, honored immortals. I am Chu Xiao, from the Downstream Light Sword Sect."

He laid out his intentions upfront, stating his name and background clearly. This served both to appear honest and straightforward while also deterring these individuals from resorting to violence for personal gain.

After all, the reputation of Liu Guang Jian Zong is there. Not just anyone dares to touch it.

As expected, upon hearing that he was from the Liuguang Sword Sect, the expressions of the three people shifted slightly, followed by bright smiles.

"So it's Brother Chu, I understand now."

Three people bowed their hands to each other, but each of them also had their own little thoughts in mind.

Before this, they truly had three people join hands to kill Ye Bufan's idea, but now that they heard that he was a disciple of the Liu Guang Jian Zong, this idea immediately vanished.

After all, the three of them were just a temporary group, and they didn't trust each other too much. Once it got out that they had killed a disciple of Liuguang Sword Sect, their lives would be miserable for the rest of their days. It wasn't worth risking everything for a single Huixiancao.

"Three Immortal friends, I urgently need this Rejuvenation Herb, so I will take it. However, I will give you some compensation."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it. Three sprigs of immortal grass appeared in mid-air.

“This Fog Spirit Grass, Xuan Frost Vine, and Flame Orchid are all sixth-order spirit grasses. Although they aren't too precious, they are still some compensation for the three immortal friends.”

In terms of value, these three Immortal Herbs he brought out were no less valuable than the original Immortal Herb.

But all this stuff was snatched from Yanqing. He's so generous, he doesn't even care about losing it.

The three of them were overjoyed. Originally, a single Immortal Returning Herb was to be divided among the three of them, but now each had received a sixth-order Immortal Herb.

Not only did he not suffer a loss, but he also gained a great advantage.

"Brother Chu, this time the Immortal Grass is yours."

Three voices spoke in unison, without a hint of doubt.

Ye Bufan's heart was overjoyed. He had finally avoided trouble and obtained the return immortal grass.

Just then, a haughty voice rang out from mid-air: “Everyone stay put, that return to immortal grass is mine.”uld refine flying artifacts, and secondly, the materials were extremely difficult to find.Not to mention the Void Sand alone, they couldn't even find that material. It was simply priceless and unattai...
