Chapter 3925: Herbal Prescriptions

This also enraged the Five-Colored Chaos Beast. It lunged from the mountaintop, heading straight for Wang Qingshan and the other four. Despite its enormous size, it was incredibly agile.

The white flood dragon sprayed a thick beam of white light directly at the Five-Colored Chaos Beast. It pushed off with its legs, leaping to avoid the white light. The light struck the ground, causing it to rapidly freeze, and the ice spread quickly. A towering golden blade light swept in, striking the Five-Colored Chaos Beast, but only leaving a shallow cut.

Wang Yingjie raised his right hand, and a golden sphere covered in spirit patterns shot out. After he cast an incantation, the metallic sphere instantly transformed into a golden humanoid puppet. Its figure flickered as it charged directly at the Five-Colored Chaos Beast. The Five-Colored Chaos Beast lashed its tail, striking the humanoid puppet, which was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Thick green vines emerged from the ground, entangling the Five-Colored Chaos Beast's body, while yellow hands burst forth from the earth, gripping its limbs. The Five-Colored Chaos Beast struggled fiercely, easily tearing apart the green vines and yellow hands.

Two beams of black light shot forth, striking the Five-Colored Chaos Beast precisely. The beast let out an agonizing shriek, its massive body twisting uncontrollably, and its reactions slowed. A beam of white light descended from the sky, striking the Five-Colored Chaos Beast. Its body rapidly froze, transforming into a massive ice sculpture. A dazzling five-colored spiritual light flared, shattering the ice sculpture. Two more beams of black light shot forth, striking the Five-Colored Chaos Beast accurately. It let out a pained roar, and its body began to tremble.

Having endured four "Soul-Shattering Finger" attacks, the Five-Colored Chaos Beast's divine soul was severely wounded. Wang Qingshan and the four others intensified their assault. The Five-Colored Chaos Beast accumulated more and more injuries on its surface. With its divine soul severely damaged, its reactions were slow. After less than an hour, the Five-Colored Chaos Beast's head was severed by a massive green sword, and blood gushed out, staining the ground.

"It's finally done," Wang Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief. The "Soul-Shattering Finger" was incredibly powerful; even the Five-Colored Chaos Beast would have been severely wounded by a few more hits, and True Immortals would fare even worse after taking several such attacks.

He used a long red blade to cut open the Chaos Beast's belly and found three immortal corpses, from which he retrieved three storage bracelets. Wang Qingshan collected the Chaos Beast's corpse. They then ascended to the mountaintop, where a dilapidated manor appeared before them. Many buildings had collapsed, and there were no immortal herbs, immortal fruits, or even immortal trees to be seen.

They entered a largely collapsed green pavilion and found dozens of jade slips in a basement. They each examined the contents of the jade slips, hoping to find a map of Tianji City to aid their treasure hunting.

"Golden Gang Mixed Origin Pill!" Wang Qingshan showed a look of interest, holding a green jade slip in his hand. The Golden Gang Mixed Origin Pill was remarkably similar to the Nine Revolutions Glazed Pill. It was refined using the mutated five-colored Chaos Beast's core as the primary ingredient, along with hundreds of other immortal herbs. For cultivators below the Golden Immortal realm, consuming it could increase their chances of cultivating into True Spirits.

Besides the Golden Gang Mixed Origin Pill, there were also formulas for various first- and second-tier immortal pills, all of which utilized Chaos Beast cores. The most valuable was the Nine-Star Jade Orifice Pill, refined using the mutated six-colored Chaos Beast's core as the primary ingredient, which could resolve bottlenecks for Golden Immortal cultivators. While there were no methods for refining Dao Pills, this was still excellent. If these items were to spread, they would undoubtedly cause a bloodbath. The only drawback was that the jade slips contained no map of Tianji City. This was not surprising, as Wang Qingshan and the others also lacked a map of Haoyang City on them.

The five of them thoroughly searched the manor but found nothing of exceptionally high value, nor any alchemy furnaces or pills, presumably eaten by the Chaos Beasts.

After crossing the peak, they arrived at a dilapidated street. The ground was overgrown with weeds, and green vines climbed over the buildings. These buildings still had signs, indicating they were teahouses and inns. Wang Qingshan and the four others proceeded cautiously, their divine senses fully extended, daring not to be careless.

Two hours later, they appeared on a wide street lined with pavilions and courtyards, resembling a residential area. They entered the pavilions and courtyards to search but found nothing of high value. Not even jade slips or immortal herbs were present, presumably eaten by Chaos Beasts or gathered by previous explorers.

With a booming sound, a massive golden thunder light flared in the distance. Wang Qingshan and the four others were startled. Wang Yingjie quickly activated the Golden Dragon Orb, injecting it with immortal essence.

"A Five-Colored Chaos Beast! Cultivation unknown! A lightning cultivator was fighting it, but the lightning cultivator was no match and was killed." Wang Yingjie said with a frown. The restrictions on divine sense were greater here; their divine sense could only extend a thousand zhang, and this was due to their cultivation of the "Void Forging Divine Art." For ordinary True Immortals, the range of divine sense probing would be even smaller.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang occurred, and a massive golden light illuminated the distant sky. "Let's go take a look; there might be something good," Wang Qingshan said.

They headed towards the area of the golden light, not moving very fast. Along the way, they saw many dilapidated residences, as well as some massive beast bones or humanoid skeletons. Storage bracelets were nowhere to be seen, presumably taken by previous explorers. Considering the presence of restrictions and Chaos Beasts, their speed was not fast.

Three hours later, they appeared at the foot of a steep peak. There were numerous buildings here, extending from the base of the mountain to its summit. These buildings were severely damaged, some largely collapsed, others entangled by green vines, and some bore huge beast prints.

"There's a restriction on the mountaintop, blocking the Golden Dragon Orb's detection. It seems there are still good things there, but we don't know the Chaos Beast's cultivation level!" Wang Yingjie said with a frown.

"We'll know if we try," Wang Qingling said as she flicked her sleeve, and a silver-glowing talisman flew out. The talisman had a humanoid pattern on its surface. She cast an incantation, and the silver talisman immediately shone brightly, transforming into a "Wang Qingling" whose aura was identical to hers. "Go!" A green light flew from Wang Qingling's brow, merging into the "Wang Qingling" duplicate's brow. The "Wang Qingling" duplicate then strode toward the mountain.

The five of them cast spells to hide themselves. When "Wang Qingling" reached halfway up the mountain, a beast-humanoid Five-Colored Chaos Beast charged down from the peak. It threw a punch, and a massive fist enveloped in red flames flashed forth. With a loud bang, "Wang Qingling" was struck by the Five-Colored Chaos Beast's fist and sent flying backward. Her body was engulfed by raging flames, transforming back into a silver-glowing talisman, whose light then dimmed. With a "fwoosh," the talisman spontaneously ignited and burned to ashes.

The Five-Colored Chaos Beast sniffed a few times, then let out a strange, ear-piercing shriek. A wave of crimson flames surged from the ground, heading straight for where Wang Qingshan and the four others were hidden.
