“Baowu?” Yang Junshan called out to the youth in front of him.
“Heh heh.” The youngster suddenly laughed and then stammered, “Yes, it’s me.”
Although Yang Junshan didn’t investigate it for a while, and had mixed a Peaches of Immortality into the Peach of Souls, giving Ba Wu a big bargain, Yang Junshan felt it waity. Since it was already too late, he might as well put on a show of favoritism.
“Good, good, not bad.” Yang Junshan squeezed out a gratified smile on his face and said: “If you don’t want Ba Wu to have such good fortune, once you advance to the True Demon Realm and take human form, the Macaque Tribe will no longer have any worries in the future.”
Ba Wu transformed into a silly smile, revealing a sincere expression: “Macaque …. Division... Could there be... Today, he obtained teacher … A lot. This time, he had to... With the help of Teacher’s spirit fruit, Ba Wu was able to evolve into his human form. But Teacher, in the future … “With the drive, Ba Wu will do his best to help.”
Due to the fact that the monkey monster had just taken human form, it was already able to speak, but it wasn’t proficient. However, as it talked more and more, although it occasionally stumbled, it became more familiar.
Yang Junshan smiled slightly, and said: “That spirit peach is something that I do not know about, and the reason why you are able to obtain it is because of your own good fortune, there is no need to say anymore, but your cultivation has just advanced, and it is the right time for you to work hard to stabilize your cultivation. Within three months, do your best to avoid fighting against others.”
After persuading Ba Wu to go back and train in order to stabilize his cultivation, Yang Junshan turned around to see a look of envy on Ba Xin. Ba Xin may be the second ranked warrior of the Macaque Tribe, but he had only reached the bottleneck of the late stage of the Spiritual Demons.
Yang Junshan thought that they would even lose a Peach of Immortality, so he decided to spend even more on it.
“Ba Xin doesn’t need to be envious of Ba Wu. I have something here. Although it can’t help you increase your cultivation and transform into your human form, it can refine the bones in your mouth and allow you to speak.”
When Ba Xin heard this, he was overjoyed. He quickly circled Yang Junshan, looking somewhat impatient.
Yang Junshan gave the sariras he obtained from the cultivators of Shi nationality, Yuan Yong, to Ba Xin, and taught him how to absorb and refine the spirit of the sariras, instructing him to remember to return the sariras after refining the spirit.
After he finished speaking, Yang Junshan quickly returned to the temporary cave dwelling.
Yang Junshan had only tested 700 of the 1000 Spirit Peaches here. Originally, after he found the first Spirit Peach, he did not care about the remaining 300 peaches, but now he had to test it once more before he could relax.
Yang Junshan was very disappointed with the results of the test. In the end, he still could not find another peach from the Spirit Peach collection. This was really lucky for Baowu, this monkey, how come he did not check the few hundred Little Spirit Peaches first?
After a few more days, Ba Xin had already returned the sariras that had gained intelligence. On the other hand, Yang Junshan had been following the inheritance and trying to create a substitute feather these past two days.
The primary step was to store the 12 Huang Beast level feathers in his dantian, and to use the source energy to completely refine them. At the same time, he also needed to use his own spiritual sense to communicate at all times.
Yang Junshan did not lack any Desolate Beast level feathers on his body, and these twelve feathers were specially chosen from the feathers of the Frozen Plains Frigid Eagle.
After that, he had to combine all twelve feathers into one. However, every time he fused with one feather, the cultivator would have to drip a drop of their own blood essence into it, and after the twelve feathers were merged, Yang Junshan would then give up more than ten drops of his own blood essence. Furthermore, every drop of his own blood essence would usually require Yang Junshan to spend a month.
Yang Junshan sized up the foot long piece in his hand. The ink-black edges were dyed with a layer of blood-red feathers, and he sensed a faint aura within the feathers that had the same origin as his own.
Yang Junshan rubbed the center of his brows, and a thin strand of his consciousness was cut apart from his sea of consciousness, entering into the substitute feather. The intense pain in his sea of consciousness caused Yang Junshan’s face to suddenly turn pale white.
But very quickly, Yang Junshan was able to clearly feel that this feather seemed to be able to communicate with his mind. Refining the origin energy, merging the source blood into one, and splitting the source consciousness; these were the three most important steps in refining a substitute feather.
Since a substitute feather could replace a dead cultivator, it was naturally a priceless treasure. It was not something that could be easily refined.
‘s heart stirred, and the substitute feather immediately flew up, flying into his chest. Yang Junshan untied his shirt to take a look, and saw that there waattoo of a feather tightly sticking to his skin on his chest. It jumped along with his heartbeat, as if it had a life of its own.
After he had finished refining the Substitute Feather, Yang Junshan immediately felt his courage increase. Thinking back to the information he had gathered from the Adept Qing Feng, Yang Junshan decided to delve into the Coldjade mountain range once more.
Although Ba Wu wanted to follow him, he could not help but rely on his external strength to break through the bottleneck. His cultivation was basically unstable, and Yang Junshan had already instructed him to stabilize his cultivation for three months, so it would be best for him to cultivate in seclusion for another three months. Although Ba Xin was already able to speak, his cultivation was still shallow, so it was not appropriate for him to bring him along.
After exiting the Macaque Valley, Yang Junshan thought back to the direction that the Adept Qing Feng had left in before.
It had already been half a month since the large scale movement of the Coldjade mountain range. According to what Adept Qing Feng had said, the various large sects and Alien Cultivator s of the cultivation world had already expected this to happen, so the battle between the two sides definitely had already reached the peak. With the addition of the slower ordinary sect, the situation in the depths of the Coldjade mountain range became even more chaotic.
Although Yang Junshan had gone there late, he had also avoided the most dangerous time of the start of the battle.
If the incident in the Coldjade mountain range was really planned by those sects in the cultivation world with cultivators of the Daoist Realm, Yang Junshan did not believe that a single Gangli Accumulation Realm cultivator would be able to overturn the plans of those people at the peak of the cultivation world.
When Yang Junshan had passed over the mountain range that had already been reduced to a bare mountain, the peach blossoms surrounding the mountain had already dispersed. What enveloped the mountain range was the cool jade mountain range’s thick gray miasma.
However, the miasma couldn’t cover Yang Junshan’s vision. He could clearly see that under the black grey ashes, a dark green sapling had extended out from the ground. It seemed that it was as Adept Qing Feng had said, the peach trees did not die.
After passing through the Red Mist Mountain, Yang Junshan went straight into the depths of the Coldjade mountain range. Although he met with a few beasts along the way, most of them were unable to poshreat to Yang Junshan.
However, Yang Junshan saw the battle marks left by the large-scale battles along the way several times. It was either a deep pit or a forest that had collapsed and broke apart.
Yang Junshan continued to walk forward but suddenly stopped in his tracks, his Spiritual Sense spreading out in all directions like a wave.
After a while, Yang Junshan arrived in front of a lush and verdant forest. He then directly summoned the Mountain Monarch Seal and smashed it towards Yang Lin.
With a muffled rumbling sound, the Yang Lin in front of him twisted, rippling like a wave, and then was torn apart, revealing a small hill.
The person who laid the array had extraordinary attainments in terms of array techniques. At the very least, he was an experienced expert, and if an ordinary Adept Realm Cultivator didn’t personally step into the array, they would probably be tricked by the illusionary Yang Lin.
But who was Yang Junshan? His current mastery of array formations was no longer beneath that of a grandmaster, and it was only a treasure grade array that a formation master would investigate. If not for going out for so many years, the Xishan Village’s Five Elements Lightning Light Spiritual Array would have long been upgraded to a Five Elements Lightning Light Array.
This kind of array would naturally not hide anything in front of Yang Junshan, but what kind of secret was this exquisite array set up in the wild?
What was even weirder was that although Yang Junshan had not entered the array, he had already sensed that there were no cultivators controlling it. Thus, Yang Junshan summoned the Mountain Monarch Seal and used violence to break through the array.
Yang Junshan’s gaze, however, was fixated on the three caves on the side of the mountain. These three caves were respectively located at different locations on the mountainside, as if purposefully avoiding each other, and were evenly distributed halfway up the mountain.
These were three abandoned mines, and it seemed like they were newly constructed.
Yang Junshan first followed a slanted tunnel down to the bottom of the mine, and then came out of the mining cave with a solemn expression. After that, he went to the other two mines separately and came out very quickly.
Yang Junshan held ontandful of broken jade fragments, which were emitting a faint spirit energy.
Yang Junshan was sure that there was a spirit jade mine at the bottom of the hill. After excavating these spirit jade mines, they would be able to obtain the cultivation world’s ordinary currency, the Jade Coins!
However, this jade mine had either been hollowed out or moved to another location through the large traction formation. It seemed like it had been divided up by the three forces and only a few jade fragments were left in the mine.
After leaving the small hill, Yang Junshan quickly came across another large scale battle place. The people fighting had long left, and the only thing left was this mess.
However, Yang Junshan was quick to sense that the toppled forest was actually a Three Wood Fruit, which was a kind of spirit intermediate grade spirit fruit. It could be used to refine spirit level Body Tempering Pellets, although raw food was not as effective as medicine, it was still able to strengthen one’s body and bones, and was extremely effective in improving the body of a cultivator.
Although the Three Wood Spirit Fruit’s grade was not high, it was not something that was common in the cultivation world. Furthermore, it was also a slightly high level body forging spirit object, so its value was extremely high.
Looking at the scene, it should be someone fighting against the Three Wood Forest, Yang Junshan casually picked a fallen tree, and saw a severed arm, obviously because of the fight over the Three Wood Fruit Forest, there were injuries and deaths among the cultivators.
