Looking at Chen Li's determined gaze, the Palace-Dressed Woman knew that despite his young age, he had strong convictions, and they could not dissuade him.
With a sigh, she said, "Well, since you insist on going, I will accompany you! My cultivation is decent; I can be of some help."
The others chimed in, "We'll go too!"
"Yes, let's all go together!"
With everyone in agreement, their numbers swelled to twenty or thirty, creating quite an impressive group. This time, Chen Li did not choose to refuse.
With such sincerity expressed by those willing to follow him, there was no need for him to be pretentious. After all, strength lies in numbers.
Thus, the group set off in a grand procession into the endless Azure Dragon Mountain Range. This Azure Dragon Mountain Range was not just a single mountain but a vast expanse of mountains interconnected with one another, its enormity astonishing.
To delve deep into it would take at least ten days or half a month—something one could only dream of without proper preparation.
Chen Li walked at the front of the line, seemingly strolling casually while secretly operating the Spirit Seeking Hand. This Spirit Seeking Hand was a gift from the system and bore similarities to ancient treasure-seeking methods.
Once activated, it heightened his sensitivity to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy significantly. During his time at the academy, he rarely had opportunities to utilize this treasure-seeking method.
However, now in this vast mountain range filled with countless treasures—be it spiritual herbs or rare artifacts, or even remnants of battle—there was far more than what one would find outside.
Before long, Chen Li discovered a place where the Spiritual Energy was exceptionally dense; it seemed to be home to numerous precious herbs. However, given his current cultivation level, his range of exploration was limited. To ascertain what treasures were responsible for such strong Spiritual Energy, he needed to get closer.
With this thought in mind, Chen Li decided to change direction and headed toward that area. But after walking for a short while, Yue Shan noticed something amiss. He pointed ahead and asked curiously, "Little guy, you're going the wrong way; this isn't toward Demon Flame Valley."
Chen Li glanced at Yue Shan and replied nonchalantly, "Yes, Senior."
Yue Shan's eyes widened in surprise: "You know? Then why are you turning? Have you changed your mind and decided not to rescue your mother?"
Chen Li felt somewhat speechless at this remark.
He glanced back at the numerous paper-like figures behind him and said, "Senior, haven't you noticed that everyone's injuries are quite serious? Your wounds haven't healed either. Since you're here to help me, I should at least show my gratitude, right?"
Yue Shan was momentarily taken aback and asked blankly, "Gratitude? What do you mean?"
Chen Li looked at Yue Shan with a helpless expression. "Senior, how did you become an Alchemist? With so many injured people in front of you, don't you have any thoughts about it?"
Yue Shan's face flushed with embarrassment as he suddenly realized. He chuckled awkwardly and slapped his forehead. "Oh dear, look at my mind! I'm getting old and forgot about this. You brat, so that's what you were after!"
However, he continued, "But you need to think this through. Our injuries were caused by the Demon Cave Prison; it's not that easy to recover."
Chen Li smiled but said nothing, continuing toward the area rich in Spiritual Energy.
Soon, they passed through the dense jungle and found themselves in a wide-open valley.
Before them lay a valley filled with swirling Spiritual Energy, where various Rare Herbs grew in abundance, exuding a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, especially Yue Shan, who was so excited he began to dance and shouted, "We struck gold! We struck gold! So many precious herbs—this is enough for me to refine several batches of elixirs!"
Chen Li watched the group's excitement with quiet satisfaction. The Spirit Seeking Hand had indeed led them well!
With these herbs, not only could they help everyone heal their injuries, but they could also enhance their cultivation levels. When they later ventured into Demon Flame Valley, they would have a better chance of success.
These herbs had been hidden deep within the mountains for years without anyone disturbing them. Their long growth period meant they were potent; no wonder such rich Spiritual Energy had gathered here.
The group’s eyes sparkled with excitement as they cautiously rushed toward the precious herbs.
Just then, a deafening roar erupted from within the dense jungle.
Roar!
Everyone felt a ringing in their ears and a wave of dizziness washed over them as their nerves instantly tensed up.
The roar seemed to shake the very earth beneath them, an invisible pressure crashing down like an insurmountable mountain.
That feeling indicated it was at least a Peak Fourth-Stage Beast, comparable to a human Mystic Boundary pinnacle Cultivator.
No, it was a monster!
Someone gasped in shock as their face turned pale.
After all, they had just escaped from captivity; years of imprisonment had drained their energy. They were still recovering and were unarmed—how could they possibly contend with such a powerful beast?
Just as they were worried, a massive beast charged out from the depths of the valley.
It emanated a terrifying aura, with a pair of blood-red eyes fixed intently on everyone, as if it were gazing at prey about to be caught—cruel and bloodthirsty.
This beast resembled a giant tiger, but its size was several times larger than an ordinary giant tiger. Its body was covered in black scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen, indicating an astonishing defensive capability.
It was the Black-scaled Tiger!
Xuanjizi immediately recognized the origin of this beast, and his expression darkened considerably. Among the crowd, he was the strongest, having already stepped into the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Yet, the appearance of this beast made him feel a shiver of fear.
That was the innate pressure brought by overwhelming power!
From the looks of it, this was no mere Fourth-Stage Beast; it was clearly a first-level monster, comparable to a human cultivator at the first level of the Spirit Wheel Realm! Moreover, as a Black-scaled Tiger, it had tough skin and thick flesh, with astonishing defensive capabilities. Even a first-level cultivator in the Spirit Wheel Realm would not dare to provoke it lightly.
Unfortunately for them, they had barely had time to rejoice for two seconds before encountering such a troublesome foe.
The crowd immediately fell into chaos, each one channeling their Vital Energy and preparing to strike at any moment. The atmosphere grew heavy in an instant.
Just then, the lethargic hedgehog that had been lazily lying in Chen Li's arms suddenly jumped out. Its small form flickered several times before it almost leaped onto a distant mountain peak.
Chen Li stared in shock at this scene; everything happened too quickly for him to intervene. But soon enough, he grasped the harsh reality before him. With such a powerful beast around, no matter who among them took action, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
He had initially planned to use the Thunderous Divine Beast's pressure to intimidate the Black-scaled Tiger. But now, it seemed that the hedgehog was making a run for it?!
