Sovereign to Immortality

4In his previous life, no one had ever found a tree demon after breaking a restriction. However, this tree demon had obviously just produced its first trace of demonic energy, unlike Yang Junshan, who had broken his spiritual consciousness from the very beginning. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to detect it.     2

    

It was likely that after the restriction barrier had been activated, the small tree demon had met with misfortune while being ignored by other cultivators. This was why no one knew about it.    

    

Behind the barrier of light, there were fifty-seven towering trees that had been nourished by the Heaven-Shaking Peak's spirit energy for many years. Other than Yang Junshan, who had been observing the two and a half feet tall sapling, the rest of the people were carefully searching for any immortal spirits that might exist on the giant trees.    

    

"I've finally found a high-grade immortal spirit core. This should be the heart of a tree?"    

    

When he checked the twenty-sixth tree, Ning Bin finally dug out a piece of wood about the size of a hand. The piece of wood was filled with spiritual power; it was a high-grade immortal spirit soul.    

    

Looking at Yang Junshan, who was carefully digging the soil under the sapling, Yan Qingxi said, "Twenty immortal spirits were found on the huge tree in Class 26. This ratio is not small, but it's a pity that it's low quality."    

    

"I also found one here!"    

    

Everyone turned to look and saw Su Bao Zhang jump down from a huge tree. In his palm, he picked a crystal clear leaf. The lively fluctuation of spiritual energy proved that this leaf shaped immortal spirit was a high grade immortal spirit.    

    

A total of fifty-seven huge trees, and everyone spent an entire day searching through the treetops to find a few Zhang deep tree roots. They found forty-seven immortal spirits, most of which were low quality ones, only fourteen of which were medium quality ones, and five high quality ones.    

    

Lu Jing looked at the crowd and smiled at Yang Junshan who had just dug up the sapling. He said, "Little friend Yang, how do you think we should divide this immortal spirit?"    

    

Yang Junshan pointed at the sapling and said, "This sapling belongs to me, the Yang family only needs one high-grade immortal spirit stone, you can divide the remaining low-grade immortal spirit stones."    

    

Tan Xi and the other Ning Family cultivators looked at each other. Yan Zhong, who rarely spoke, asked, "Then Young Master Yang, what's so special about this sapling that makes Young Master willing to use a high-grade immortal spirit stone to exchange for it?"    

    

Yang Junshan glanced at him and said, "Nothing, don't you realize that this sapling is absorbing spiritual energy by itself? Although it is absorbing spiritual energy very slowly, I feel that this sapling is not ordinary, so I want to dig it up and plant one for myself!"    

    

Upon hearing this, everyone carefully examined the surroundings of the small sapling with their Spiritual Sense. Indeed, they found a trace of extremely light Spiritual Energy fluctuations. This small sapling was actually absorbing the Spiritual Qi on its own.    

    

Lu Jing and Ning Qing exchanged glances. They were both array masters, and their spiritual senses had been tempered by a secret technique, but after entering the first layer of the light screen, neither of them had noticed anything unusual about this sapling. This meant that Yang Junshan was much stronger than them in refining his spiritual consciousness.    

    

Although celestial spirits were precious, other than high grade ones, the other three parties would not care about such a small matter. Everyone quickly finished the immortal points in their hands. There were not many things that could catch anyone's eyes after the first layer of light.    

    

Everyone rested for a while. After Yang Junshan moved the sapling into his storage pouch, the three formation masters started to survey the second layer of the restriction screen.    

    

After about half a day, aside from Yang Junshan who looked normal, Ning Qing and Lu Jing looked at each other in dismay.    

    

Yan Qingxi was anxious and immediately asked: "Martial Uncle Lu, is this screen extremely difficult to break?"    

    

Lu Jing made a sound of "uh" and said with a strange expression, "It's not that difficult. On the contrary, compared to the first layer of the light barrier, the second layer isn't that difficult. Since we can break the first layer of the light barrier, breaking through the second layer isn't too difficult."    

    

Yan Qingxi asked curiously, "Isn't it said that each layer of the light barrier is more difficult than the previous one? The deeper you go into the Ruins of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, the harder it is?"    

    

Everyone looked at Yang Junshan, but Yang Junshan still had that unfathomable smile on his face, making the corners of Yan Qingxi's eyes twitch, wishing he could hit him.    

    

In fact, Yang Junshan was also smiling bitterly in his heart. He was not used to being pretentious like he was now. However, he himself had no other choice. He couldn't possibly tell the story of his previous life.    

    

With the help of two veteran array masters, Yang Junshan's array breaking technique had improved a lot. Half a day later, the second layer of light screen was finally broken after everyone attacked twice. At this time, a strong aroma of alcohol drifted from behind the broken light screen, straight to everyone's nose.    

    

"Good wine and good wine, this must be good spirit wine!"    

    

The one who spoke was Yan Zhong. This old man's eyes were glowing; he was obviously an old Liquor worm. Normally, he didn't expect this old man to take a bite.    

    

After they passed through the shattered light curtain and entered the second layer, they saw a wine cellar that had been mostly destroyed in the process of the Heaven-Shaking Peak collapsing.    

    

There were probably more than ten urns carved from bluestone. The opening of the urns was sealed with slate and then the Soul Sealing Talisman was affixed to it. This way, the spirit wine stored in the cellar would taste better and the spiritual energy would not dissipate.    

    

However, after the wine cellar had been destroyed, most of the jars of spirit wine had been broken, leaving only the Spirit Sealing Symbols stuck to the jars outside. The spirit wine had lost its power and became ordinary wine.    

    

Everyone checked one by one, only leaving behind five undamaged green stone wine vats.    

    

"These Spirit Wine should be the Seven Spirit Wine that has been stored in the cellar for more than twenty years. More accurately, they should be the Bone Strengthening Wine that has been brewed from precious Spirit Medicines." These Spirit Wine should be the Seven Spirit Wine that has been kept in the cellar for more than twenty years; more accurately, they should be the Body Strengthening Wine that has been brewed from precious Spirit Medicines.    

    

After hearing Yan Zhong tell everyone about the effects of the Seven Spirit Wine, they each took out their respective tools and began to split the remaining five jugs.    

    

These five cyan stone vats were too big, and the storage magic tools in everyone's hands weren't willing to be filled up too early. They were only filled with some of the tools in their hands, and the ten people each divided two vats.    

    

At this moment, Yang Junshan was rummaging through his storage bag. A moment later, Yang Junshan's face lit up, a palm-sized teapot appeared in his hand.    

    

This teapot was found by Yang Junshan in the secret chamber at the end of the Heaven-Shaking Seal Road. It was found on the body of the Damascus Seal Faction's Adept. It was a top-grade magic tool.    

    

Yang Junshan opened the lid of the teapot and inhaled towards the remaining three cycad jars. The spirit wine in the jars flowed into the teapot like a waterfall and he knew that there was not a single drop left in the teapot. He then shook the teapot in his hand and realized that it was not filled yet.    

    

After that, Yang Junping and Su Baozhang started to rummage through the broken wine cellar, hoping to find more useful things. However, the things they found were mostly cultivation materials of low quality, so these things were naturally not in the eyes of other late stage Martial Disciples or above. In the end, they all benefited the Yang family.    

    

The harvest after the second layer of the hologram somewhat disappointed everyone. After resting for half a day and getting enough energy, everyone then placed their hope behind the third layer of the hologram.    

    

Yang Junshan and the other two formation masters had already started investigating the third layer of the light screen. As expected, the third layer of the light screen was only slightly stronger than the second layer.    

    

Although this discovery was delayed for another half a day, Lu Jing still laid down a formation to weaken the strength of the restriction based on this weak point.    

    

When the two formations activated at the same time, the third light screen was weakened to the point that it wasn't even as strong as the first two light screens. Even without the three formation masters' extra attacks, the others had already destroyed this layer of light twice in a row.    

    

However, when everyone rushed to the third light screen in excitement, the final result was a great disappointment to everyone.    

    

"Spirit Plant Garden, how could it be this? And it was only a part of it, yet it was destroyed by the avalanche of the mudstones! "    

    

Among them, the one who was the most disappointed was Yan Qingxi. Seeing that there were only a hundred or so spiritual herbs left in the Spirit Orchid Garden, she naturally did not put them in her eyes.    

    

However, he still said, "Actually, we are already pretty good here. Even in other places, every time we break through a layer of barrier enchantment, we might not be able to get a good harvest, and it's not like we don't have people returning empty-handed. After all, the Heaven Shaking Peak is not always a treasure, not to mention we were taken in by the various sects.    

    

Most of them were spiritual herbs, and when concocting pills, each batch would require dozens or even dozens of different types of spiritual herbs. In fact, there would only be two or three spiritual herbs of the same level, and the rest would be supported by the spiritual herbs of the next level.    

    

If it was used to refine, it would at least be enough as a main ingredient to concoct thirty batches of spirit rank pills. This was not a small amount, even if the Tan Xi Sect wanted to concoct thirty batches of spirit rank pills in one go, they would still need to prepare a period of time.    

    

After everyone gathered these spiritual herbs and prepared to break through the fourth light screen, Yan Qingxi seemed to be in low spirits. It was obvious that she was not satisfied with the gains from the first few layers of light screens, and only kept staring at Yang Junshan.    

    

"Alright, alright, stop messing around. Maybe if we follow this path all the way down, we'll find the corpse of a Daoist Master!" Yang Junshan had no choice but to comfort her.
