Chapter 343: Soul Devouring Ghost Mist, Golden Jade Spirit Grass

Deep in the Demon Flame Mountains, the roars of monsters were deafening.

Chen Xuan stood there with a normal expression, only his mind was scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

In the distance, an octagonal dog-toothed beast in the middle stage of the Jindan stage was screaming miserably.

Soon, he died completely under the attacks of numerous monsters.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, but did not take away the body of the octagonal dog-toothed beast.

Instead, he showed a look of disdain.

"Although the Octagonal Dogtooth Beast is also an extremely rare fourth-level monster, it stinks to high heaven, and its monster pill is completely useless."

"Even if I let the monster kill it right now, it would be meaningless. However, the Octagonal Dogtooth Beast is ferocious by nature and will bite anyone it catches."

"If I don't solve it, it will be impossible for me to continue moving forward to look for the Golden Jade Spirit Grass."

Chen Xuan glanced at the corpse of the octagonal dog-toothed beast with a cold expression.

With a flick of his hand, several fireballs flew towards the Octagonal Dog-toothed Beast.

boom!

Suddenly, a raging fire burned wildly on the body of the octagonal dog-toothed beast.

In just a moment, the octagonal dog-tooth beast was burned to ashes.

Even so, the place where it died still stinks.

Chen Xuan used elementary water magic to wash the ground several times, and the awful stench was mostly dissipated.

"It is worthy of being the most notorious monster in the world of immortal cultivation. Whoever sees it will be unlucky." Chen Xuan said.

As he spoke, he did not linger where he was, but hurried towards the place where the golden jade grass grew.

There are many monsters in the depths of the Demon Flame Mountains.

In just half a day, Chen Xuan encountered no less than seven or eight Jindan stage monsters.

Most of these monsters fled away after seeing that there were many powerful monsters around Chen Xuan.

However, there are still many stubborn guys like the Octagonal Dog-toothed Beast who took the initiative to attack Chen Xuan.

As a result, they were all killed by Chen Xuan.

That is why Chen Xuan is moving very slowly at this moment.

Along the way, he kept sending out monsters to explore the road conditions ahead.

If the monster he encountered was too powerful, Chen Xuan would not dare to force his way in and could only take a detour.

More than ten days later, Chen Xuan finally arrived at a gray valley.

What is different from other valleys in the Demon Cloud Mountains is that the trees in this valley all have a hint of dark green.

From afar, the rich dark emerald forest looked pitch black.

It was like a huge, terrifying, unknown monster lurking in the Demon Cloud Mountains.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be where the Golden Jade Spirit Grass grows. But why is this valley so strange? Even the trees growing here are dark emerald green."

Chen Xuan did not rashly enter the valley.

Standing at the entrance of the valley, he carefully looked at the situation inside.

After a long time, when Chen Xuan did not find any trace of monsters, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Something is wrong. We are already deep in the Demon Cloud Mountains. Logically, there should be a lot of monsters here."

"But there is not even a single monster in this valley. It is so quiet."

Chen Xuan looked confused.

His divine sense spread out again and he carefully checked the valley. After making sure that there were no traces of monsters in the valley, he still did not rashly enter.

With a thought, Chen Xuan called over the Red-tailed Scorpion King and the Purple-winged Spirit Bat.

"This valley is very strange. You should go explore it first." Chen Xuan ordered.

Soon, the Red-tailed Scorpion King and the Purple-winged Spirit Bat disappeared at a high speed.

When they appeared again, the two monsters had already entered the valley.

After a moment, the purple-winged bat that was flying suddenly became extremely frightened for some reason.

After a moment, it rapidly lowered its altitude and struggled to rush out of the valley.

"This……"

Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically.

The divine consciousness quickly fell on the purple-winged spirit bat.

It was discovered that the purple-winged spirit bat seemed to be under a very strong and strange pressure at this moment.

The circulation of spiritual energy in the purple-winged spirit bat becomes extremely slow.

In this way, the purple-winged spirit bat's initial stage of Jindan has become completely useless.

Now, the only thing it can mobilize is its physical strength.

However, for a monster like the purple-winged spirit bat, its physical body is not its strongest point.

That's why it tried so hard to escape from the valley.

"go with!"

Chen Xuan frowned slightly and released the Golden Sparrow Spirit Swallow and the Ice and Fire Dragon again.

Soon, the Golden Bird also became panic-stricken.

Although the speed of the Ice and Fire Dragon has slowed down a lot, it can still move freely in the valley.

"Could it be that there is something in this valley that restricts the flow of spiritual energy?"

Chen Xuan looked curious.

With a thought, he put the purple-winged spirit bat and the golden sparrow spirit swallow into the Beast Taming Tower, and then he himself, with the ice and fire dragon, walked cautiously towards the depths of the valley.

Wow!

In the valley, the gray fog was rapidly drifting towards Chen Xuan.

In an instant, Chen Xuan felt that the spiritual power in his dantian was completely restrained by a strange force.

Only his physical strength seemed to be unrestricted and could still be used at will.

"Sure enough! There is something in this valley that suppresses the flow of spiritual energy. However, if I am not mistaken, it should be because of this gray fog, right?"

Chen Xuan's gaze fell on the gray fog around him.

Taking this opportunity, he also secretly monitored the changes in his body.

After a cup of tea, Chen Xuan was surprised to find that he was just standing in a valley full of gray fog, but the spiritual power in his body was constantly decreasing.

Moreover, as time goes by, the speed at which spiritual power flows away will become faster and faster.

"It's indeed the gray fog that's the cause. However, this kind of gray fog that can make the spiritual power in the bodies of cultivators and monsters disappear rapidly should be the legendary soul-devouring ghost fog." Chen Xuan said in surprise.

Soul-devouring ghost fog!

It can absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, forming a special world without any spiritual energy at all.

If a cultivator mistakenly enters a place where there is a large amount of soul-devouring ghost fog, the spiritual power in his dantian will completely disappear, and he will become an ordinary person.

Of course, if the cultivators leave the Soul-Devouring Ghost Mist, the spiritual power in their Dantian will gradually recover.

In the past, Chen Xuan had only seen the introduction of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Fog in classics, but he did not expect to encounter it in the Demon Cloud Mountains.

"No wonder Brother Hong was so generous as to tell me the location of the Golden Jade Spirit Grass. Ordinary immortal cultivators don't have the courage to enter the Soul Devouring Ghost Mist."

"But I can give it a try."

Chen Xuan looked indifferent.

As soon as he thought about it, the first transformation of the True Dragon, the Dragon Python, was activated instantly.

A layer of python scales quickly appeared on the surface of Chen Xuan's skin.

Although he is unable to use spiritual power at all now, his physical strength is extremely strong.

Even if he encounters a strong man in the early stage of Jindan, Chen Xuan can handle it for a while.

As for the Ice and Fire Dragon and the Red-tailed Scorpion King, the physical strength of these two guys is already strong.

Because of this, the Soul-Devouring Ghost Mist has very little impact on them.

In this valley filled with soul-devouring ghost fog, they move much faster than Chen Xuan.

"move on!"

At Chen Xuan's command, the Ice and Fire Dragon and the Red-tailed Scorpion King stood in front and behind, one bright and one dark, guarding Chen Xuan and continued to walk towards the depths of the valley.

The further you go inside, the thicker the soul-devouring ghost fog becomes.

Chen Xuan clearly felt that the spiritual power in his dantian was also dissipating faster at this moment.

"If this continues, the spiritual energy in my Dantian will only last for an hour at most before it is completely exhausted."

"From now on, I can only rely on the strength of my physical body to ensure my own safety."

Chen Xuan murmured to himself, but did not choose to give up.

They hurriedly started searching in the valley with the Ice and Fire Dragon and the Red-tailed Scorpion King.

About three hours later, when the spiritual power in Chen Xuan's Dantian had long been consumed, the Red-tailed Scorpion King, who was exploring the way ahead, suddenly screamed.

Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly.

When they hurried over, they found that next to the Red-tailed Scorpion King, there was a golden jade spirit grass about a foot in size, emitting golden light all over its body, growing quietly in the soil.

"Is this the Golden Jade Spirit Grass?"

Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

He came to the Demon Cloud Mountains this time, firstly to hunt Lingxiao Golden Peng, and secondly to get the Golden Jade Spirit Grass.

Now that the Golden Jade Spirit Herb has been found, as long as Chen Xuan finds a safe place, he can refine the Golden Jade Spirit Pill and take the time to meditate and improve his cultivation.

"This Golden Jade Spirit Grass has six leaves, so it should be six thousand years old. It is enough to be used to refine the Golden Jade Spirit Pill."

"Right now, I'd better hurry up and transplant it to the Beast Taming Tower."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, and hurriedly dug out the Golden Jade Spirit Grass, and transplanted it into the Beast Taming Tower along with the soil.

After finishing all this, Chen Xuan didn't dare to stay in the soul-devouring ghost fog for a moment.

Hurry up and rush out of the valley.

However, he didn't know that just when Chen Xuan entered the valley, a golden-haired spirit dog appeared outside the valley like a shadow.

It sniffed the air around it keenly, and after a moment it actually showed a hint of joy.

This golden retriever is none other than Cui Hongling’s golden tracking dog.

Soon, Cui Hongling and the other two who had been following the golden tracking dog to search for Chen Xuan's whereabouts also appeared outside the valley at a high speed.

"I never thought that Chen Xuan would come to the depths of the Demon Cloud Mountains. If it weren't for my golden-haired tracking dog, which has the talent to track down immortal cultivators, it would be really difficult for us to find Chen Xuan."

Cui Hongling smiled coldly, but her eyes quickly looked towards the valley where Chen Xuan was.

After a moment, Cui Hongling also noticed something was wrong.

"This valley is extremely quiet. In my opinion, this is not a good place. The three of us will ambush Chen Xuan outside. When he comes out, we will kill him directly."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiming and Bai Jing were immediately overjoyed.

Soon, after discussing for a while, the three of them hid in the dark and waited for Chen Xuan to come out of the valley.

About an hour later, a young figure finally walked out of the valley.

It was Chen Xuan who picked the golden jade spiritual grass.

Just as he was about to move forward, the Red-tailed Scorpion King, who had been performing the Earth Escape Technique and lurking in the dark, noticed something and suddenly frantically warned Chen Xuan.

Although Chen Xuan looked normal at the moment, his vigilance was heightened to the extreme.

Before Cui Hongling and the other two who were hiding in the dark could take action, Chen Xuan had already activated the magic weapon, the Qinglong Sword.

And he slashed quickly towards where Bai Jing was hiding.
