After the Demon Clan retreated that day, the cause of the widespread deaths of low-tier Demonic Beasts was quickly investigated.

Soon, a large green toad arrived at the poison zone arranged by Chen Xiaofeng. It took a few hops, then began to greedily inhale the surrounding toxins.

Incredibly, it devoured all the toxins in the area, emitting a few "croaks," and then casually hopped away as if nothing had happened.

Chen Xiaofeng, who had been observing the situation, was left dumbfounded and wished he could capture the toad right away for further study.

Meanwhile, on Qingxu Mountain, Wang Hong had already thoroughly searched the buildings of Heavenly Authority Peak inside and out. Anything valuable was carefully collected.

Currently, he had a vast territory and a growing number of followers, and he required abundant resources. At this point, he welcomed any resources, no matter how much.

At this moment, his subordinates had taken control of all seven peaks, and they had cleared out the Demonic Beasts on them, encountering only a few low-tier Demonic Beasts that didn't pose a significant obstacle.

He went to Kaiyang Peak and visited his former cave mansion.

This place was where he had lived and studied in the past, leaving behind many memories.

His cave mansion had long been occupied by Demonic Beasts, leaving it dirty and chaotic.

The spiritual fields he had cultivated here were now overgrown with weeds, but among the weeds, he could still find some immature Spiritual Herbs.

The spiritual fruit trees he had planted inside the cave mansion had grown well, bearing a bounty of spiritual fruit.

He flew to one of the trees, plucked an immature spiritual fruit, and sat on a branch, savoring it. It seemed that this fruit was even more delicious than the high-tier spiritual fruit in his spatial storage.

Just then, one of his subordinates arrived to report that there were still some spiritual fields on Yuheng Peak with many high-tier Spiritual Herbs.

On all seven peaks of Qingxu Mountain, there were still some Spiritual Herbs remaining, though their numbers were not substantial, and their tiers were not particularly high.

Upon receiving this news, Wang Hong immediately flew to Yuheng Peak to investigate.

When he arrived at Yuheng Peak, at the peak's most spiritually dense location, he discovered a five to six-acre spiritual field.

This spiritual field was protected by formations on the outside, but they were simple formations that had already been dismantled by his subordinates.

Surprisingly, the spiritual field was planted with nothing but high-tier Spiritual Herbs. The lowest tier he found was second tier, and he even spotted a few fourth-tier Spiritual Herbs.

As he walked through the field, identifying these Spiritual Herbs one by one, his excitement grew. Many of these Spiritual Herbs were varieties he didn't possess.

In this very field, he found a complete set of Spiritual Herbs needed for the Refinement Solid Essence Pill.

The Solid Essence Pill was a third-tier pill suitable for cultivators at the Golden Core stage. It enhanced their cultivation level.

He had often thought about finding the materials for the Refinement Solid Essence Pill but had been unable to gather the elusive third-tier Spiritual Herbs.

Unexpectedly, he had found them all in this field, even though they were still immature seedlings. But that was no problem for him.

It was likely that the mature or nearly mature Spiritual Herbs had been taken away by the Qingxu Sect and wouldn't have been left behind for the Demonic Beasts.

Although the Spiritual Herbs in this field were precious, they were all in their infancy.

Wang Hong instructed his subordinates to carefully dig up all these Spiritual Herbs and place them in Jade Boxes, intending to transplant them later.

He personally went to dig up the few fourth-tier Spiritual Herbs. Such herbs were scarce in the outside world and were challenging to cultivate. It seemed that the Demon Clan had taken great care not to let these Spiritual Herbs perish.

Three young Lingying Grass plants, each of them two hundred years old. This is one of the main ingredients for refining the Nascent Condensation Pill, and it takes three thousand years for them to mature.

Currently, Lingying Grass is only cultivated by major forces.

Smaller factions simply can't afford to wait for such a long time. Perhaps, before these Spiritual Herbs mature, the faction might have already been wiped out.

There are also two Qiongzhi Fruits, each one hundred years old. These Qiongzhi Fruits take one thousand five hundred years to mature and can be used for refining Nascent Soul stage pills.

Four Phoenix Breath Grass plants, also one of the main ingredients for the Nascent Condensation Pill, require two thousand years to mature.

Three different types of fourth-tier Spiritual Herbs, totaling nine plants. Although they are all in their infancy, these are exactly what Wang Hong has been seeking.

Carefully harvesting these nine Spiritual Herbs, placing them in boxes for later transplantation in his spatial storage.

After finishing the harvest here, Wang Hong flew towards Tianshu Peak. The sect had a Five-Color Spirit Thorn Tree that had been growing for tens of thousands of years. He wasn't sure if it was still there.

The Five-Color Spirit Thorn Tree could assist cultivators in Core Building and held a crucial position in the Cultivation World.

When he arrived beneath the Five-Color Spirit Thorn Tree, he found that not a single mature date was left; all he could see were green, unripe fruits.

It was probably the work of the sect before they retreated. The tree was too massive to be easily transplanted, and moving it might kill it. However, the Spirit Thorn Tree Fruits on top could not fall into the hands of the Demon Clan.

As for the fruit trees, they would have to be left for now. Who knew when they might return? It was wise to keep some hope alive.

Wang Hong had a Five-Color Spirit Thorn Tree in his own spatial storage, so he wasn't particularly attached to this one. He had come to check and, if possible, harvest the nearly mature spirit fruits to prevent the Demon Clan from benefitting.

Qingxu Mountain Range possessed a high-quality Spirit Vein, something that their small Human Clan faction couldn't occupy. Even though they had been ambushed once, it would still belong to the Demon Clan for a long time to come.

The current situation, where the East Zhou Human Clan's foundations had fallen into the hands of the Demon Clan, couldn't be reversed in a short time.

While Wang Hong was busily gathering resources on Qingxu Mountain, over at Yunxia Mountain, the Demon Clan had rested for a night and had started their second round of attacks.

This time, the Demonic Beasts had finally reached the Yunxia Mountain protective formation, and there was only a distance of a few dozen feet between the two sides.

Yunxia Mountain cultivators could already see the sharp tusks exposed by the Demonic Beasts.

Skinny Monkey, emulating Chen Xiaofeng from the previous day, stood on a massive rock with an air of tranquility, a lonely master appearance.

However, his nickname Skinny Monkey was quite fitting, and it wasn't exactly a handsome image he was trying to portray, even though he tried his best.

He waved his sleeve and shouted, "Explode!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" Several loud explosions rang out within the ranks of the Demonic Beasts, causing the nearby people and demons to have ringing ears.

Skinny Monkey's attempt at being impressive this time was clearly not as effective as Chen Xiaofeng's yesterday. After the events of yesterday, everyone already knew that these were some pre-set tricks.

This explosion was a type of Spiritual Weapon recently developed by Chen Xiaofeng. It was a simple Spiritual Weapon that could connect twenty second-tier Talismans together.

Once the Spiritual Weapon was activated, all twenty connected Talismans would activate simultaneously.

It should be noted that it was impossible for a cultivator to simultaneously activate too many Talismans. The higher the tier, the harder they were to control.

This simple Spiritual Weapon was refined by Chen Xiaofeng in large quantities, and they were all being put to good use now.

After being blasted, the Demonic Beasts caused some chaos for a brief moment and then charged towards Yunxia Mountain once more.

In the sky, a massive figure appeared, with a fluffy tail trailing behind it.
