Of course, Zhu Guo has many other uses. Whether for alchemy, body refinement, or enhancing the cultivation of Fire Attribute Cultivation Method warriors, it is invaluable. Looking at Li Feng's excited expression, it is likely that he is either cultivating the Fire Attribute Cultivation Method or comprehending the Fire Realm.
After the last incident, they have all come to trust Brute Force, so before taking action, they will first seek his opinion. After all, while Elixir is beneficial, no one wants to lose their life over it.
"A thousand-year-old Zhu Guo, we should still be able to handle the Demon Beast here. There are five Zhu Guo here; if you take one, we can split the rest. If you need more, how about exchanging it for other Treasure or Spirit Stone?" Brute Force suggested quietly after taking a look.
"Alright, I only need one. You can divide the rest among yourselves; it has nothing to do with me." Li Feng thought for a moment and agreed without hesitation. He knew he couldn't obtain this alone and would need to work together. The other four, including Ren Pingsheng, had no objections and readied their weapons.
"Good, let's get started. This should be a Half-Step Monarch Demon Beast. The six of us should be enough; let's go!" Brute Force shouted and dashed forward, with the others following closely behind.
Sure enough, as they approached the Zhu Guo, an Ape jumped down from a tree in the distance. It turned out to be a Raging Ape, with fiery red fur all over its body. It wasn't particularly unusual as a Demon Beast, since Raging Apes are relatively common outside. However, they usually only reach levels two or three; none are this formidable.
"Roar..." Upon seeing the six of them, the Raging Ape let out a furious roar and unleashed a wave of flames from its mouth, creating a vast Fire Sea. The terrifying heat made them feel sharp pain all over their bodies. As some flames reached the Zhu Guo, instead of causing harm, they were completely absorbed by it.
"Great waves!" Both Zhao Long and Brother Tiger shouted simultaneously as they swung their swords down in unison, managing to hold back the surging flames like crashing waves.
"Hurry up and attack! We can't hold on much longer!" Zhao Hu shouted anxiously. After all, they were only at the level of the High-Level Sect Realm. Holding off for even a few breaths was already quite impressive.
"Slash!" Without delay, Brute Force swung his Long Sword, unleashing a terrifying blade of light that descended like a mountain upon the Raging Ape, instilling fear in it.
"Wind Sword, slash!" With a twist of his Windscar Sword, Ren Pingsheng unleashed a green blade of Sword Qi, arriving before the Raging Ape. His revealed strength was merely at the level of the High-Level Sect Realm, but his mastery of the Perfection State of Wind's Essence surprised the other warriors.
Though they were also at the level of the High-Level Sect Realm, none had comprehended their respective artistic conceptions to perfection. However, there was no time for them to be astonished; they all launched their attacks against the Raging Ape.
"Bang bang..." Seven attacks landed, and even the Half-Step Monarch level Raging Ape was pushed back quite a distance, leaving two shallow wounds on its chest.
"Roar..." The injury made the Raging Ape roar in anger. It jumped high and landed right in front of everyone, its sharp claws slicing down with a gust of wind.
This caught them off guard; those who were quicker moved back rapidly, while those who were slower could only helplessly raise their swords to block. However, the strength of the Raging Ape was immense, and one warrior who joined later reacted just a moment too late, getting sent flying by a swipe from the Raging Ape. Blood sprayed into the air as he sustained serious injuries.
"Beast, get lost!" Brute Force, reacting the fastest, swung his sword down as the Explosive Ape charged toward the two injured warriors. This strike was actually three times stronger than the last one, creating a deep wound on the Raging Ape's back that exposed bone.
At this moment, Ren Pingsheng was not slow either; he unleashed a Wind Sword strike that also hit the large wound, further injuring the Raging Ape. It staggered and nearly fell over.
"Hurry up and attack; this beast can't hold on much longer!" Brute Force shouted. The perfect Earth's Realm on his Long Sword rippled again as he struck out.
The Raging Ape, seemingly slowed by its recent injuries, was hit by the martial skills of five people, bloodied all over.
"Roar!" Suddenly, the Raging Ape let out an angry roar, and an endless Fire Sea descended. The five people, including Ren Pingsheng, were momentarily halted in their attacks and hurriedly defended themselves. At that moment, the Raging Ape turned its head and, seeing it could not win, directly fled.
"This beast is surprisingly clever; it actually ran away," Brute Force said somewhat awkwardly. As the Raging Ape left, the Fire Sea completely vanished. "Alright, Li Feng, you go ahead and pick all the Zhu Guo, then we need to leave quickly. No one knows if that beast will come back."
At this time, without needing to be told, Li Feng excitedly walked over and took out a jade box, carefully collecting five Zhu Guo. However, he did not touch the towering Zhu Guo Tree. The seven of them quickly left that place and found a relatively safe spot to stop.
"Cough cough... I didn't contribute much this time, so I won't take part in the distribution of these Zhu Guo," said one warrior who had joined later after hesitating for a moment.
"I see. That's fine. But you all did put in some effort; we'll each give you ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones as compensation. How does that sound?" Brute Force nodded but did not completely dismiss them.
"Then we should thank you." One of the martial artists said with a smile on his face. Originally, they were reluctant to give up Zhu Guo, but he also knew that he hadn't contributed much and had even been saved by someone. Now, being able to receive forty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones was quite good for his High-Level Sect Realm cultivation.
Soon, the distribution was completed. Brute Force, Li Feng, Ren Pingsheng, and Zhao Long each received a Millennium Vermilion Fruit, while the remaining martial artist received forty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.
"Look, this should be Clear Soul Grass. It's the main Material for refining Clear Soul Pills. The Clear Soul Pill can increase the breakthrough probability for a King-Level Martial Artist by ten percent." As they delved deeper, they discovered some rare Elixirs. At this moment, Zhao Hu looked excitedly at a small green grass in his hand.
"Indeed, it is Clear Soul Grass. If we can find a Soulflower, then refining several Clear Soul Pills is definitely possible," Li Feng said enviously.
"Haha, it seems that this really is the Ancient Ruins Space. We've only been here half a day and already have these gains. There will definitely be many more Spiritual Medicine Treasures ahead." Zhao Long looked into the distance with shining eyes.
"I've said it before, there will be both gains and dangers ahead, so let's be careful. Let's continue!" Brute Force smiled lightly and continued towards the distant mountains.
"Ahem... Is everyone alright?" The seven of them now looked somewhat Awkward, with numerous wounds on their bodies and their clothes stained red with Blood.
"Damn it, we actually ran into a Fifth-Level Monster. Luckily we ran fast; otherwise, we would have been done for," Li Feng cursed in frustration.
"Haha, we should thank Man Brother this time. If he hadn't held off that Fifth-Level Monster at the end, we probably wouldn't have escaped," Zhao Long glanced gratefully at Brute Force.
At that moment, they were in a life-and-death crisis being chased by the Fifth-Level Monster. Brute Force had voluntarily stayed behind to delay it for a few breaths, allowing them to escape. In the end, no one knew how Brute Force managed to shake off that Fifth-Level Monster, but he caught up shortly after.
"I just got lucky. Although it was a close call this time, our gains are sufficient," Brute Force flipped his hand and took out a purple Elixir, adorned with several small Silver flowers, looking excited.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Purple Silver Flower, which can be used to refine the Purple Silver Pill." Li Feng had quite a bit of knowledge and recognized it at first glance. Looking at the small flower, he also had an eager expression.
“Purple Silver Flower? Could it really be an incredible elixir that surpasses the Concentration Pill and can directly enhance any type of Profound Meaning by thirty percent?” Zhao Hu asked in astonishment.
“That's right, it is. It is said that no matter how deeply one has comprehended the Profound Meaning, taking this Elixir will immediately increase it by thirty percent. If you have reached seventy percent comprehension, you might even achieve perfection. However, this kind of Elixir has long been extinct in the outside world, so it has only been a rumor until now. I didn't expect there would still be one here.”
“Man Brother, how should we distribute this? Although you contributed the most this time, such a rare Elixir is something we might not be able to give up,” Li Feng turned to Brute Force and said.
“Of course, something like the Purple Silver Flower, a true Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, cannot be given up without reason. Here’s what we’ll do: let’s keep it with me for now as we continue forward. If we can find something even better, great; if not, I’m sure there will be other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. At that time, we can each take what we need,” Brute Force replied after a moment of hesitation.
“Uh… that works!” The others exchanged glances and agreed. After all, there was only one plant, so they couldn't really divide it. Besides, they still needed to rely on Brute Force, so they didn't want to push too hard.
“Let’s go! We’ve gathered enough. If we delay any longer, that Demon Beast might return,” after about an hour, the six of them were in a Little Mountain Valley, continuously harvesting these Elixirs. Brute Force glanced into the distance and said anxiously before turning to leave.
“Let’s move!” Ren Pingsheng waved his hand, took a few more Elixirs, and followed suit.
They had discovered this Little Mountain Valley, which was filled with various rare Elixirs. Once they confirmed there was no danger—seemingly the Demon Beast had gone out to hunt—they seized the opportunity. The six of them immediately got to work and harvested quite a few Elixirs.
“So soon? There are still many more Elixirs here?” One of the later arrivals hesitated. However, he also understood the danger and retreated behind them. At that moment, a dark shadow flashed in the distance and pounced toward them.
“Damn it, it's a Fifth-Level Monster! We need to go!” Brute Force shouted from afar without looking back and turned to run. The others were quick to follow; a Fifth-Level Monster was equivalent to a King-Level Expert, which was beyond their capability to handle. They had been lucky to escape last time; there was no way they would dare confront it again.
Unfortunately, the hesitant warrior was slightly unfortunate; he was grazed by the force of the pouncing Demon Beast, causing blood to spray out and fly toward Ren Pingsheng and the others. Fortunately, Ren Pingsheng reacted quickly and helped him out, disappearing with him in a few flashes.
