Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 70: So Many Talismans

Fang Hong didn’t delay much, only sighing briefly before following the map on the jade slip and entering the vast mountain forest.

The trees in the mountain forest were tall and dense. Fang Hong cautiously moved through the forest, using his Divine Sense to perceive his surroundings, while carefully searching for traces of spirit medicine and constantly guarding against possible Demonic Beast attacks.

According to the Elder, once entering the Intermediate area, the number of Demonic Beasts would significantly increase, and their strength would be greater, so it was crucial to be extra careful about safety.

As he walked, Fang Hong arrived at a small pond.

The water in the pond was crystal clear, sparkling beautifully.

Most importantly, he saw three small blue flowers growing by the pond’s edge, with Spiritual Qi swirling around them, indicating they were rare spirit medicine.

"Gathering Yuan Flower! Not bad, not bad." Fang Hong’s heart filled with joy, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

These three small flowers, named Gathering Yuan Flowers, were one of the materials for refining Solid Essence Pills.

Fang Hong carefully examined the quality of the Gathering Yuan Flowers, noticing their full petals and rich Spiritual Qi.

Based on his judgment, these Gathering Yuan Flowers should be eight hundred years old, making them high-quality materials perfectly suited for refining Solid Essence Pills.

However, just as Fang Hong was about to go and pick the spirit medicine, his Divine Sense suddenly detected the aura of a Demonic Beast in a cave next to the pond.

The aura was very powerful, and Fang Hong judged that this Demonic Beast was not weak; it should be a peak Fourth-level Demonic Beast.

"Roar!" Suddenly, a loud Demonic Beast roar came from the cave.

Perhaps sensing Fang Hong’s Divine Sense probing, the Demonic Beast in the cave could no longer hold back and burst out from inside.

Fang Hong looked closely and saw it was a Fire Bear.

This Fire Bear was powerfully built, over two zhang tall, and covered in red fur that resembled burning flames.

Instead of being afraid, Fang Hong’s face showed delight upon seeing the Fire Bear.

The Fire Bear was a fire-attributed Demonic Beast, and this one was a peak Fourth-level Demonic Beast, perfectly suitable for collecting its demon blood to upgrade the Four Symbols Formation.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

As soon as the Fire Bear saw Fang Hong, its eyes immediately filled with hostility. It opened its bloody maw, let out a series of angry roars, and then immediately charged forward.

It raised its massive bear paw, accompanied by scorching flames, and fiercely slammed it towards Fang Hong.

Fang Hong reacted quickly, swiftly dodging to the side. The Fire Bear’s paw swept past him with a whooshing sound.

Immediately after, taking advantage of the Fire Bear’s missed attack, Fang Hong suddenly raised his right foot and kicked the Fire Bear several zhang away, sending it crashing heavily to the ground.

Ever since Fang Hong ate the Heavenly Body fruit, his physical body strength had significantly increased.

At this moment, his strength was astonishing; even though this Fire Bear was massive, it was still sent flying by his kick.

The Fire Bear had thick skin and flesh. After taking Fang Hong’s kick, it rolled a few times on the ground and then immediately got back up.

It looked at Fang Hong with some shock, seemingly unable to believe that this seemingly not-so-strong human could possess such immense strength!

The Fire Bear was furious, feeling greatly provoked, so it let out another angry roar and charged at Fang Hong again.

This time, its strength was even greater, and its speed was faster than before.

But unfortunately, Fang Hong wasn’t foolish and wouldn’t choose to clash head-on with it.

He quickly took out his Ice Spirit Sword and began to fiercely slash at the Fire Bear.

The Ice Spirit Sword was confiscated by Fang Hong from the black-clothed man. It was also a top-tier Spiritual Artifact with considerable power.

Each swing brought forth a chilling cold, continuously cutting into the Fire Bear’s body!

The Fire Bear, struck by the cold, let out howls of pain.

It struggled constantly, trying to evade Fang Hong’s attacks, but Fang Hong’s sword techniques made it impossible for it to dodge.

Although the Fire Bear was a peak Fourth-level Demonic Beast, it was still an animal, with relatively simple attack methods, possessing only immense strength.

Facing Fang Hong, who wielded a top-tier Spiritual Artifact, it gradually found itself unable to cope...

Soon, many sword marks appeared on the Fire Bear’s body, and blood continuously gushed from the wounds, looking particularly gruesome.

Fang Hong seized the opportunity and unleashed the Giant Sword Art.

The Ice Spirit Sword instantly grew several times larger, and with a fierce swing, the giant sword pierced through the Fire Bear’s body.

The Fire Bear’s body stiffened abruptly, then it fell heavily to the ground, completely motionless...

Fang Hong retracted the Ice Spirit Sword and began to collect the Fire Bear’s demon blood, which was a crucial Material for upgrading the Four Symbols Formation.

After collecting the demon blood, he then used the demon gourd to absorb the Fire Bear’s corpse and refine it into a spirit pill.

After all this, Fang Hong was about to go and pick the three Gathering Yuan Flowers, but just then, another change occurred.

Not far from the mountain forest, two firebirds rapidly attacked Fang Hong.

Fang Hong recognized it at a glance; this was an Intermediate spell called Firebird spell.

It seemed someone was launching a sneak attack on him from the shadows.

Fang Hong quickly raised his hand, and blue electric arcs flickered at his fingertips. Immediately after, two electric arcs shot towards the two firebirds.

The electric arcs collided with the firebirds, making a "sizzling" sound, and with a puff of smoke, the two firebirds instantly vanished without a trace.

After the firebirds disappeared, a figure continuously flashed from a distance.

The figure moved extremely fast, appearing a few flashes later not far in front of Fang Hong.

The newcomer was a tall and well-built bald young man in gray clothes.

At this moment, he was looking at Fang Hong with a sinister smile, a smile full of ill intent.

"A Beast Taming Sect person?" Fang Hong scrutinized the newcomer, secretly vigilant.

This bald young man was not weak, being at the peak of Foundation Establishment Cultivation. Moreover, Fang Hong had noticed him before entering Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden and was certain he was a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, picking medicine alone?" The bald young man greeted with a chuckle.

Fang Hong’s expression was calm as water. He asked directly, "Are you here to fight?"

The bald young man was slightly taken aback by these words, seemingly not expecting Fang Hong to be so direct.

Then, he sneered, "It seems you’re quite perceptive. Hand over all your valuables, and I’ll let you suffer less."

The bald young man stopped with the pleasantries. He immediately slapped the storage bag at his waist, and two red lights flashed, revealing two red flying daggers that appeared beside him, suspended in the air.

The two flying daggers emitted powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations, indicating they were high-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Fang Hong did not reply, but quickly retreated backward, simultaneously pulling fifty Ice Spike Talismans from his storage bag and instantly activating them.

Countless ice spikes reappeared, swiftly rushing towards the bald young man.

"So many talismans!" The bald young man’s expression changed instantly, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He no longer dared to underestimate the person in front of him.

The bald young man quickly conjured a triangular shield from his storage bag and injected his magical power into it.

The shield instantly grew larger, firmly protecting his entire body and fending off the ice spike attacks.

Fang Hong could tell that this triangular shield was a top-tier Spiritual Artifact, and the Ice Spike Talismans indeed couldn’t do anything against it...
