Chapter Fourteen: Violet Heart Flower
Mo Feng was about to absorb the Heart Flame back into his body, at the Dan Tian area. He stood up and moved around a bit, feeling some numbness in his hands and feet. He let out a sigh and said: "I should go find some spiritual medicine."
Although Mu Chengzhi often saved his own medicine money to buy some spiritual medicines such as Moqi, Huoyin fruit and so on that are very beneficial for cultivators of the Body Tempering Realm, but under Mu Feng's high-intensity cultivation and physical training, this was still a drop in the bucket.
So Mu Feng could only search for fierce beasts on one hand, increasing his actual combat experience, and on the other hand, see if he was lucky enough to pick some spiritual herbs.
However, in the outer periphery of the mountain range, the spiritual herbs were almost completely picked by the town's herbalists, so Mu Feng only harvested one first-class spiritual herb these past few days, which was still extremely good.
Mo Feng walked slowly along the outer edge of the mountain range, being vigilant for beast attacks while searching around. Suddenly, his gaze stopped at a certain inconspicuous corner and he was stunned for a moment. After a short while, Mo Feng's eyes became fiery, and his breathing also became somewhat heavy.
A single, purple, enchanting flower swayed gently in the mountain breeze, its stamens shaped like a heart. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be emitting a faint, chilly aura that wafted up, releasing an alluring fragrance.
This is a two-product spirit medicine, purple heart flower.
This elixir is one grade higher than Mozhizhi and Huoyin fruit, with a price that has skyrocketed several times over, but it's worth every penny, as its nourishing effect on the body is also several times stronger than the latter two.
Looking from afar at the purple flower, Mu Feng did not immediately go to pick it. He knew that around this kind of spiritual medicine, there would generally be fierce beasts guarding it. Around some high-grade spiritual medicines, there were even high-ranking demon beasts guarding them.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, Mufeng soon saw that in the not-too-distant back of the Zi Xin flower, a cluster of woods was swaying non-stop, and a familiar black shadow appeared before Mufeng's eyes.
"Damn it!" Mu Feng couldn't help but blurt out a curse.
That black shadow was actually the dark brown giant python encountered during the last adventure into the Luoshenfeng mountain cave. The right eye of the dark brown giant python had been injured by Mufeng, and now there was only a black hole left in the place where the right eye used to be, looking even more terrifying than before.
The dark brown python looked a bit tense at this time, its huge snake head looking around in all directions, as if it was on the alert for something.
"Squeaky"
A green branch next to the purple heart flower suddenly moved eerily, Mu Feng fixed his eyes on it and broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that the unremarkable branch was actually a small blue snake.
The body of the green snake is almost negligible compared to the dark brown python, but when it sees the green snake, the dark brown python seems to become highly tense, its head raised high, and the frequency of contraction and relaxation of its muscles suddenly increases.
The little blue snake was lazily looking at the dark brown python, seemingly not putting the huge creature in front of it in its eyes at all.
Mo Feng also saw some doorways. The green snake was the guardian beast of the Zi Xin flower, and the dark brown python drooled at that Zi Xin flower, it seemed that a fierce battle between the two beasts was about to erupt.
However, Mu Feng did not recognize that the small green snake was actually a first-class demon beast.
The demon beasts are divided into nine levels, with the first level being the lowest and the ninth level being the highest. All demon beasts possess a certain degree of spiritual intelligence, and by the seventh level, they can even transform into human form.
Higher-level demon beasts have demon crystals condensed within their bodies, which are greatly beneficial to cultivators and can also be used to forge weapons, enhancing the spiritual nature of the weapons. Some elixirs' refinement also require demon crystals as an indispensable ingredient.
Even if it's a first-class demon beast, when facing an ordinary fierce beast, it's not difficult to defeat it. Therefore, when facing the dark brown giant python, the green snake was careless and didn't put it in its eyes at all.
If it weren't for the dark brown giant python needing this purple heart flower to treat its injuries from last time's fight with Mu Feng, it wouldn't have risked coming to compete with the green little snake.
Finally, the dark brown python could no longer hold back, opening its bloody mouth wide and biting down hard on the small green snake.
With a fierce gust of wind, the dark brown python pounced forward, its massive body sweeping away all the branches and leaves around it, causing the entire forest to tremble.
The little blue snake's tail swung lightly and easily dodged the dark brown python's fierce strike.
"Boom!"
The dark brown giant python came with great force, and for a moment it couldn't stop its momentum. The huge snake head crashed into the original location of the small green snake, and actually smashed out a large pit on the ground.
The green snake dodged the attack and lightly nipped at the dark brown python's body with its small mouth. The dark brown python's scales were as hard as steel, but in front of the green snake, they seemed like tofu, easily pierced through.
A thread of venom flowed into the body of the dark brown python through two small fangs, and in an instant, the entire body of the python shook violently, its massive body rolling wildly, crushing a large area of surrounding jungle.
The vitality in the snake's eyes quickly dissipated, and soon the dark brown python's violently shaking body came to a stop, its massive body slowly stiffening.
The little blue snake slowly crawled to the dark brown python's side, stuck its small mouth on the python's blood vessel and sucked up the delicious fresh blood happily.
Watching this sudden scene, Mu Feng was extremely shocked. He had personally experienced the ferocity of the dark brown giant python, but in front of this little green snake, it didn't even last a single round.
The toxicity of the blue small snake is fierce, even a dark brown giant python can be poisoned instantly, and its severity is unimaginable.
Although the cyan snake was extremely venomous, Mu Feng didn't want to give up on the Zi Xin flower. After all, a second-grade spiritual medicine wasn't something one could often come across; if he didn't pick it, someone else would get it for free.
Mufeng held a dagger in his left hand, and on the palm of his right hand, a devouring heart flame flickered, slowly approaching the small green snake.
The little green snake sensed Mu Feng's arrival, its small snake eyes staring coldly at this uninvited guest, and Mu Feng was also stared at by the little green snake until his scalp felt numb.
Looking at the young man in front of him, the small green snake seemed to sniff out a hint of danger, specifically that sense of danger came from the black flame on the palm of the boy's right hand.
His heart was also racing, with cold sweat seeping out of his back. The feeling of his heartbeat was even more intense than when he faced the dark brown giant python. He had witnessed the toxicity of the green snake with his own eyes, and being bitten meant there was only one way to go - death.
But he didn't want to give up on the purple-hearted flower either, so he took a gamble.
A transparent venom suddenly shot out from the mouth of a small green snake, an extremely strong corrosive aura came face to face, making Mu Feng's breath slightly stagnate.
Mo Feng's heart and spirit stirred, swallowing the Heart Flame that burst out violently. The intense high temperature instantly incinerated the toxic liquid into nothingness.
"It seems effective." Mu Feng's heart was delighted, and he controlled Swallowing Heart Flame to attack the small green snake.
"Whoosh!"
The azure snake dodged the Heartflame's devouring flames like lightning, and struck at Mofeng's neck with a deadly bite, its two tiny fangs emitting a fatal breath.
However, the cyan snake's speed was no match for Mu Feng's thoughts. With a flicker of his mind, another wave of Devouring Heart Flame burst out from his palm, wrapping the cyan snake in layers and incinerating it into nothingness in an instant.
Heart Devouring Inflammation, it's not something a first-class demon beast can withstand!
Mo Feng wiped away a cold sweat, using Devouring Heart Flame against an enemy for the first time made him somewhat nervous as well. After all, his control over fire techniques was still extremely unrefined. If there had been even a slight mistake just now, he would have paid a terrible price.
However, in his excitement, he didn't notice that the Flame of Devouring Heart at his dantian seemed to have become somewhat dispirited, and the entire flame had also shrunk a bit.
Mufeng crouched down, picked the purple heart flower, took out a piece of cloth to carefully wrap it up, and gently put it in her bosom, with an excited look on her face.
A single stalk of this rare herb can be quite pricey in the market, and to see one growing on the outskirts of the mountain is truly a stroke of great luck.
After putting the purple heart flower into his bosom, Mu Feng glanced around and cast his gaze towards the dark brown giant python that had become stiff. Such a large piece of snake skin, if taken to the market to sell, should be able to fetch a good price.
But thinking of the blue snake's deadly venom, Mu Feng finally gave up. He didn't want to lose his life because of this snake skin.
The results are quite disappointing, please click and collect!
