The short-haired man was starting to panic in the face of the increasing attacks from the Spirit-Devouring Bees.
These Spirit-Devouring Bees were naturally capable of consuming Spiritual Qi, making it impossible for his techniques, protective magic, or even his Spirit Robe to withstand their devouring.
As for his Lifebound Magical Treasure, Ji Yuan waited for a long ti without seeing it, only seeing him controlling a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact Level Short Sword, slaying left and right.
It seed like yet another cultivator who had just reached Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Couldn’t even afford to refine his own Lifebound Magical Treasure.
With the remnant Celestial Silkworm Zhenren Ji Yuan summoned back in mind, he also activated the Crimson Wave Whip, and under the combined onslaught of the three, it only took half a cup of tea’s ti for the short-haired Foundation Establishnt cultivator to let out a miserable cry, unable to withstand the poison of the Spirit-Devouring Bees any longer.
In that split second when his protective magic exposed a gap due to a montary lapse of concentration, Ji Yuan activated the Celestial Poison Needle, piercing him to death with one stab.
Took his corpse and his Yin Soul.
Ji Yuan also retrieved the heavily injured Celestial Silkworm Zhenren into his Storage Bag, realizing that after returning, he would have to send him to the Chaotic Burial Mound to nurture for a while.
Along with it, the Heavenly Net also needed to be repaired with so Jade Essence Oil.
Previously, it was burnt black all over by the treasure mirror, and just now, it was besieged by those two Core Formation Cultivators, breaking so of the silk threads.
After retrieving the Corpse Puppet, Ji Yuan also took back the remaining Spirit-Devouring Bees into the Spirit Beast Bag.
The previous battle had cost at least tens of thousands of Spirit-Devouring Bees their lives.
It made Ji Yuan’s heartache quite a bit, and he would have to go back to the Beehive to restock so.
Additionally, those Scorching Fire Army Ants from the Hundred Insects Old Immortal had already recognized him as their master, and with his death, these army ants were gone too.
Even that Dream Butterfly was the sa.
While escaping earlier, the Hundred Insects Old Immortal stored the Dream Butterfly in the Spirit Beast Bag, and after Ji Yuan killed him and found his Spirit Beast Bag, he opened it to see.
That strange insect was nothing but a corpse now.
What a pity.
No sooner said than done, Ji Yuan dared not linger here any longer, after encountering three battles with Core Formation cultivators consecutively.
It would inevitably attract the attention of other cultivators, and if a mid-stage Core Formation or even late-stage old monster ca, it would be a big trouble.
Finally, Ji Yuan leapt up, and as he passed over the valley, he put away the array flags for the Inverted Rivers and Lakes Array, disappearing with a flash of black light.
He was already standing on the Sky-Splitting Boat, embarking on a journey southward.
After traveling for half a day, ensuring no one was trailing him, he put away the Flying Boat, disappearing entirely.
At this point, only if a late-stage or even peak Core Formation cultivator exerted their full Divine Sense would they discover a grain of dust falling from the sky.
But that would be all.
To detect anything unusual, it would take at least a Nascent Soul Monster.
Mountain of Mind and Heart.
Inside the Cave Mansion, Ji Yuan had just returned and lay down on the ground, not wanting to move a muscle.
He first took out the Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s Storage Bag, broke its restriction, and scanned it with his Divine Sense.
So many treasures!
This Storage Bag was undoubtedly the richest Ji Yuan had ever obtained, but with a quick glance, he realized sothing was off.
There were indeed a lot of good things inside, like the ’Demon Ascension Powder’ that could advance a Tier Two Demon Beast to Tier Three, with three bags of it.
As a result, both Frost Serpents had hope for advancent.
Also, the dozen or so Foundation Establishnt Stage Immortal Materials he had seen in Peony City were now quietly lying in his Storage Bag.
Sparing Ji Yuan a lot of trouble.
But these did not match the Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s status.
He must have more strange insects, specifically eggs, or other larvae.
For Ji Yuan dealing with insect demons, those things were undoubtedly the most valuable.
Thus he decided quickly.
Go!
Visit the Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s Cave Mansion; after killing the man, why fear taking the treasures?
Moreover, having killed him with such effort and for so long... one should reap the harvest, right?
An idea flashed in Ji Yuan’s mind, and he imdiately made up his mind.
Go!
Go to the Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s Cave Mansion, just as he had found from Hu Li earlier that it was sowhere... in Profound Crystal Mountain, Hundred Insects Cave?
As for Profound Crystal Mountain, it was southeast of Peony City, not too far from here.
Given this, then let’s set off.
Without further ado, Ji Yuan’s figure appeared in the mountain out of thin air, storing his Lifebound Magical Treasure in his Dantian and leaping up again, activating the Flying Boat heading southwest.
Profound Crystal Mountain lay in this direction.
Along the way, stop and go, after about a day, Ji Yuan finally found the destination of this trip.
From the outside, this mountain seed like an ordinary mountain, and the Profound Crystal it produced also ca from its mountain range’s interior.
Ji Yuan stood on the cloud high above, scanning his Divine Sense to ensure no one was around, then summoned the PWoang Divine Eyes. As the purple eye erged from his forehead, he discerned the mountain-protecting array.
...Very few flaws.
As expected of the Hundred Insects Old Immortal, the mountain-protecting array’s formation is superb.
Though I haven’t figured out what this array’s foundation is, Ji Yuan already viewed it as his possession.
After observing it quietly for a while, Ji Yuan found the way to enter the formation, still sowhat difficult because it required using Spiritual Power to break several nodes.
If the Hundred Insects Old Immortal were inside and controlling this array, Ji Yuan would indeed struggle to enter.
Because he would resist.
But now... Ji Yuan broke the formation openly, swaggering his way in.
Once inside the mountain, his Divine Sense swept across, capturing the situation within the Hundred Insects Cave.
"That old thing really left quite a bit of good stuff. Probably never expected to perish during this excursion, so most of the good things remained in the mountain."
Thoughts crossed Ji Yuan’s mind, and with another step forward, he arrived at the entrance of the Hundred Insects Cave.
As the mountain breeze blew, Ji Yuan slled a rotten odor coming from the cave, likely the "Rotten Corpse Maggots" emitting it.
Just as he was about to enter for a look, he suddenly sensed soone coming through the formation from the outside.
It couldn’t be called intruding, for the person ca through the formation unhard, and upon entering, he landed at the foot of the mountain, cupping his hands and calling out:
"Disciple Hu Li, requests to see the Old Immortal."
