Chapter 4222

Wang Qingshan flicked his sleeve, and the yellow bead flew backward. He did not know the other party at all and would certainly not accept such an item, which would only invite trouble. Wang Qingshan was not afraid of trouble, but he also had no desire to needlessly provoke other Golden Immortal cultivators.

A clap of thunder sounded, and tens of thousands of thick, five-colored lightning bolts streaked across the sky, heading straight for the old man in yellow robes. The old man's expression changed drastically. He quickly conjured a small, dull-glowing yellow umbrella, holding it above his head, and extended a thick yellow light screen to protect himself. Dense five-colored lightning bolts struck the yellow umbrella one after another, and the five-colored lightning enveloped the old man's figure.

A silver light shot forth and plunged into the five-colored lightning, followed by an agonizing male scream. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out from within the five-colored lightning. A silver lightning bolt flashed, and Lin Lei appeared, grabbing the miniature Nascent Soul and placing a shimmering silver talisman on it. Lin Ting arrived and retrieved the yellow bead.

They glanced at Wang Qingshan and his companion, said nothing, and transformed into two streaks of light, flying northeast. The old man in yellow robes had intended to divert trouble, but his plan failed. Bai Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought there would be a fierce battle.

"Let's go somewhere else! To avoid encountering them again," Wang Qingshan said, then walked southwest with Bai Ling'er. It was not that he was afraid of Lin Lei and Lin Ting; there was simply no need to, and he did not want to conflict with them.

In a vast and boundless bamboo forest, explosions and ghostly wails echoed incessantly. Wang Yidao and a burly man in green robes were locked in a magical duel. Wang Yidao held a golden long saber, with an aura of death coiling around its blade. Not far away, a body lay, split in two.

He slashed at the void, and a towering golden saber light swept out. The world seemed to turn golden, and the ground tore open, revealing a terrifying fissure. The burly man in green robes quickly swung the green long saber in his hand, unleashing a larger blue saber light that swept out like a blue silk ribbon, meeting the towering saber light. The two collided, and the blue saber light instantly dissipated. The golden saber light reached the burly man in green robes. His expression tightened. He pointed a finger at the blue shield in front of him, sending it forward. The blue shield was cut in half by the towering saber light as if it were tofu. The burly man's pupils contracted, and his body split in two. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out from his body, enveloped by a golden glow, and was drawn back to Wang Yidao.

Wang Yidao tried to search the soul, but a restriction was triggered. After a pained scream, the Nascent Soul's surface erupted in a ball of golden flame, burning it to ashes. A cloud of black qi flew from a distance and landed in front of Wang Yidao; it was Ye Haitang.

They had been ambushed by five Golden Immortal cultivators. Ye Haitang released her Five Ghosts, entangling three of the Golden Immortals. "Ancestor Haitang, is it dealt with?" Wang Yidao asked. "They have only minor attainment in their laws; they are no match for me," Ye Haitang said with a confident expression. All five ghosts had advanced to the Golden Immortal stage. With the Five Ghosts Immortal Annihilation Array, it was no problem for Ye Haitang to kill three Golden Immortal cultivators with minor law attainment.

She took out a black beast hide with mountains and rivers depicted on it, and some areas marked with characters, clearly showing the three large characters "Heavenly Ghost Valley." "This is a map of Heavenly Ghost Valley. It's an affiliated sect of the Underworld Corpse Sect, and Heavenly Ghost Valley excels in ghost manipulation and demon control. They must have many good things. Let's go to Heavenly Ghost Valley!" Ye Haitang said, her face full of anticipation. "Good," Wang Yidao agreed. They searched the enemies' belongings, burned the bodies, and left the area.

At the foot of a steep peak stood a blue stone tablet, its upper half missing, but the characters "Medicine Garden" were still visible. At the summit was a sprawling manor with many immortal fields, all empty. A magnificent blue palace stood, with the three golden characters "Thousand Herbs Palace" inscribed on its plaque. The main hall's gates were open, revealing a bluestone passage. Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao stood before a tightly sealed stone chamber.

Xiahou Yao flicked her sleeve, and a massive blue blade shot out, striking the gate. The gate shattered into pieces, revealing a stone chamber over a hundred feet wide. Inside, a small red plot of land cultivated more than ten silver ginseng plants. The surface of the ginseng had nine red spiritual patterns, and a red light barrier covered the plants. "Nine-Yang Jade Marrow Ginseng!" Wang Qingbai gasped, his voice trembling. A thirty-million-year-old Nine-Yang Jade Marrow Ginseng could be used to refine the third-tier immortal elixir, the Nine-Yang Jade Marrow Pill, which could assist immortals in cultivating to become peak True Spirits. These more than ten Nine-Yang Jade Marrow Ginseng plants before them were all over thirty million years old, with the oldest reaching over fifty million years. Xiahou Yao's right index finger glowed brightly with blue light, striking the red light barrier. The red light barrier shattered like a bubble. Wang Qingbai carefully dug out the more than ten Nine-Yang Jade Marrow Ginseng plants and placed them into jade boxes. The red soil, Nine-Yang Immortal Soil, specifically used for cultivating rare fire-attributed immortal herbs, was also collected by him. Stepping out of the secret chamber, they walked outside, their faces beaming with joy.

As they exited the Thousand Herbs Palace, the void above them rippled. A small, golden-glowing seal appeared out of thin air, instantly expanding and crashing down. Simultaneously, a powerful gravitational force erupted from the ground, preventing them from dodging. Wang Qingbai frowned. With a flick of his incantation, a giant male phantom appeared in the void above him; it was Wang Changsheng's Dharma Idol. Wang Qingbai formed an incantation, and Wang Changsheng's phantom punched out, striking the giant golden seal. The golden seal flew backward. Wang Changsheng's phantom lightly pointed a finger, and two long blue rainbows shot out, heading directly towards two nearby mountain peaks. A yellow light and a golden light illuminated, revealing a pot-bellied old man in yellow robes and a full-figured young woman in a golden dress. Both had cultivation levels of Golden Immortal Completion, while Wang Qingbai was at the late Golden Immortal stage, and Xiahou Yao was at the mid Golden Immortal stage.

"Kill them," the young woman in the golden dress commanded. She formed an incantation, and a brilliant red light erupted from her body. Centered around her mountain peak, an area of five hundred thousand li transformed into a crimson sea of flames. The void itself could not withstand the high temperature, tearing open to reveal numerous fissures. The crimson sea of flames churned and surged, heading directly towards Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao. The old man in yellow robes lightly stomped his right foot on the ground. The ground shook violently, and the entire mountain peak turned into soft yellow sand. Sand filled the sky, a fierce wind roared, and countless yellow sand particles shot into the air, coalescing into a gigantic yellow sand dragon that lunged at Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao. He conjured three small yellow-glowing mirrors that floated in the void above his head. With an incantation, the three yellow mirrors immediately shone with dazzling yellow light, each spewing a thick yellow beam of light directly towards Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao. The young woman in the golden dress lightly pointed a finger, and the giant golden seal crashed down towards Wang Qingbai and his companion.
