After using it, the four felt that the surrounding environnt changed dramatically in an instant.
The material world was stripped away, and what appeared before them was a "world" composed entirely of shimring lights.
So of these lights were black, so red, and others pink.
These were nodes ford by the condensation of Cataclysmic Power.
The Cataclysmic Power at the nodes was far more concentrated than in the normal world. Ordinary items placed within it had a chance of becoming highly valuable Cataclysmic Material.
This was the function of the "Spirit Communication Potion": to reveal what mortal eyes could not see.
After applying the potion, the four cautiously continued moving forward.
Because several scouting teams had already failed in this region, the four were extrely careful and vigilant.
A distance of just over five hundred ters took them nearly half an hour to traverse.
Finally, as they entered the region and approached the city, the four Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolvers raised their heads and were sowhat stunned...
Because this city seed to have nothing resembling Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—not a single anomaly.
What on earth was going on?
Could this be Qiu Tu's cleverly designed decoy?
How could he have managed this?
Pondering this enigma, unable to make sense of it, the Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolvers quickly relayed the information to the Black Shadow and the ssenger.
When the believers learned that the city they had been obsessively monitoring contained no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they were stunned for a mont before one of them slapped their thigh and exclaid, "We're done for! It's ruined!"
Black Shadow looked at the believer in bewildernt and asked, "What do you an by 'done for' and 'ruined'?"
The ssenger said with a face full of regret, "We've fallen into a trap—a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
"If my guess is correct, Qiu Tu must have extracted information about the 'Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures' from Lord Muye early on."
"Worried that others might try to take a share, he likely set traps in several fake cities in advance."
"In doing so, he ensured that if we were even slightly delayed, ti might run out, allowing him to leisurely obtain the Cataclysmic Material."
Hearing the ssenger's words, Black Shadow's pupils contracted slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is it really too late now?"
The ssenger let out a bitter laugh and said, "Whether there's still ti or not, I truly can't say."
"But... based on the intelligence I have and what I know of Qiu Tu."
"If he devised such a strategy, he's most likely not aiming without purpose."
"It's highly likely that the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure will appear within one or two days, and Qiu Tu's entire plan is to capitalize on this narrow ti window."
....
anwhile.
Like last ti, Qiu Tu left the Uncompromising Simulacrum in his office, pretending to still be at work.
He himself flew to "Qiming City."
Just as the ssenger had deduced.
Qiu Tu deliberately set up the decoy to buy one or two days of ti.
The "Earth Vein Flower" is not easily born, does not grow easily, and is extrely fragile. If attacked, it could easily be destroyed.
This made its harvesting relatively simple.
Thus, theoretically, Qiu Tu only needed to delay his enemies by one or two days to leisurely harvest the Earth Vein Flower and then leave stylishly, concealing his accomplishnts and reputation.
With his true body in Qiming City, Qiu Tu applied the "Spirit Communication Potion" and patiently awaited the maturation of the "Earth Vein Flower."
As ti ticked by second by second, the six-colored radiance on the "Earth Vein Flower" began to shift and alternate ever faster.
Soon, night fell, the moon hung high, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
All was silent; the entire Qiming City felt as oppressive as the day before a violent storm.
Qiu Tu waited patiently, like a seasoned hunter.
And then, as the moon gradually climbed to its zenith in the sky.
Suddenly, the six-colored radiance on the "Earth Vein Flower" quivered sharply and transford into seven colors!
The "Earth Vein Flower" had matured!

"Fa Hai, You're Here to Repay a Favor?!"
I, Xu Xian, a transmigrator, dream every day—of misty rain over West Lake and the White Lady's warm smile as she takes my umbrella.
I wait with the umbrella by the Broken Bridge.
What?! The carp of the Qiantang River, you're here to repay a favor too?!
What?! The purple spider of Silk Cave, you're here to repay a favor too?!
What?! The Heavenly Dragon of Little Western Heaven, you're here to repay a favor too?!
...
Xu Xian sighed deeply: "All of you female demons... Fine, fine, co on, co on, all of you help in my cultivation."
What?! Fa Hai of the Gold Mountain Monastery, you're here to repay a favor too?!
