Chen Jingzhai also selected some ores, spiritual herbs, and spirit plants in addition to the remains. These items were all specialties of the Woods Ocean, and he even picked out several spirit saplings.
After the spirit tree reached maturity, it could produce spirit wood. Spirit wood was also one of the materials for magic items. It had a very wide range of functions. In some ancient methods, spirit wood could also be used to make calcine cauldrons or item cauldrons.
Some cultivators liked to follow the ancient methods and thought that only better quality elixirs or magic weapons could be made in this way. They looked down on cultivators who used spirit fire or rare fire for refinement.
In addition to the bracelet, Chen Jingzhai also paid the price of three inferior-grade magic weapons. Now that he had finally met his needs, he was in a good mood, so much that even the female demonic jackals were pleasing to his eyes.
It could only be said that most of the demon beasts were ugly. Although some ugly ones could also become transformed powerful demons, most of them looked beautiful. However, when it came to the Ink Jade Jackal, Chen Jingzhai really could not bring himself to appreciate its looks.
Nevertheless, it did not matter to him, and the ordeal was worthwhile with such gains. Although it took a little time, no one cared in the face of real interests.
Besides Chen Jingzhai, the Elixir Twilight Clan also selected some things. Their elixirs were the favorites of the demonic jackals. There were many tribes in the Woods Ocean, and there was rarely a calm time, so the elixirs that the female demonic jackals needed were mostly focused on treatment. There were very few elixirs for cultivation.
After all, it was understandable. These elixirs were very useful to cultivators, but the elixirs used by cultivators to cultivate were not very useful to these transformed powerful demons. On the contrary, elixirs that focused on treatment were more practical, and the elixirs that could stimulate the bloodline came after that in importance.
When it concerned the Soaring Clouds Clan, the female jackals valued their spirit boats and the Cloud and Fog series of magic items. Paired with the Ink Jade Jackal’s prowess in the art of concealment, it could be said that they were extremely compatible, and there was no disadvantage.
Then, there was the magic robe of the Soaring Clouds Clan. Unlike the thousand-layer magic robe, the magic robe of the Soaring Clouds Clan had always been known for its lightness and mist-like qualities. Even demons appreciated them very much, especially female demons.
With these interests in mind, the disciples of the three sects quickly completed the transaction with them, and the demonic jackals also gave way. Before leaving, a female demonic jackal even transmitted her thoughts to Chen Jingzhai.
“Everyone, it looks like we are in trouble!” Chen Jingzhai said while riding on the back of the Giant Rhino.
“What’s the trouble?”
“What did the female demon tell you?”
“Is the upcoming tribe extraordinarily difficult to deal with?”
Everyone hurriedly asked by transmitted thoughts, and from the tone of their voices, most of them were not very serious.
After all, everyone did not encounter many difficulties to get to this point. Moreover, they did not get hurt.
They even enjoyed a bountiful harvest, so such an experience on the Woods Ocean Ancient Path could easily make people lower their guard.
“Remember that we were two teams? The cultivators from Mystic Evil Clan, Will Celestial Clan, and Serenity Hollow Clan are already in front of us! What’s more, they also made a deal with the Woods Ocean tribe, and one of them is to find a way to delay our time.
“Next, we will encounter a violent attack.”
Chen Jingzhai said with a serious tone and a cold face.
“Is this true?” Celestial Maiden Miao Fa asked in a rare initiative.
“Yes!” Chen Jingzhai nodded, “I believe that the female demonic jackal will not lie to me. After all, we have just completed the transaction, so there is no conflict of interest. They have a rebellious nature and will not necessarily obey orders, not to mention that they traded with us and fought us, which indeed held us back.”
“Then let’s go full speed ahead!” Celestial Maiden Zhao said angrily, “We can’t lose.”
“That’s right,” Sage Xu nodded, “it’s too despicable for them to do this.”
“We don’t have a choice since we split our troops this time!” Sage Lu Tao shook his head, “It wasn’t like this before. Now they have an advantage, and we can’t pursue this matter with them.”
The events occurred in the Woods Ocean forest, and there was no evidence. Even if there was a tribe that could testify, who would believe their side of the story?
“So next, I’m going to put away the mount and use the escape spell to speed up our journey.” Chen Jingzhai said, “We don’t have to waste our words. We simply fight our way through, and this also ensures the effectiveness of our trials.”
“I agree.” Celestial Maiden Miao Yun nodded.
Everyone quickly reached an agreement that the Woods Ocean Ancient Path was originally a place to accumulate experience. While it was nice to have such an easy time, it was a wasted opportunity for a Foundational Cultivator.
Next, Chen Jingzhai kept the bull demonic beast in the Beast-Taming Card.
The rest of the mounts turned into human figures one after another.
After that, Chen Jingzhai was still ahead, speeding up.
Chen Jingzhai realized the Dharma Intent and escaped quickly with that right into the first battle.
The disciples of the Three Great Sword Branches flew directly with the sword light, and their speed was not slow either.
The disciples of the Soaring Clouds Clan were enveloped by clouds and kept abreast like floating clouds.
The Elixir Twilight Clan disciples were casting spells and fell behind.
After thirty minutes, the group was attacked by the green-tailed scorpions. The green-tailed scorpions lay in ambush among the trees and instantly cast barbs. If they missed a hit, they would kill them directly.
There were seven transformed powerful demons and nine Grade 2 demonic beasts hiding in a small forest.
Chen Jingzhai had expected it, and with a stroke of his finger, a golden light pierced through the Grade 2 demonic beast.
With a Reversed Formation, he appeared beside a transformed powerful demon, and the golden light reappeared.
While Chen Jingzhai fought with the transformed scorpion, the rest of the group also took action.
Celestial Maiden Miao Fa with her Golden Core power, attacked with the force of a thunderbolt. She sent a jade hairpin flying like a sword, and easily pierced a Grade 2 demonic beast.
After rescuing Miao Xin, a jasper ribbon flew out and transformed into a scorpion.
Celestial Maiden Zhao threw out a cauldron, and the cauldron enveloped in flames flew out. It was like a round fireball. Under the bombardment, the transformed scorpion’s poisonous tail could not bear the heat and was scorched.
Celestial Maiden Zhao and Sage Xu each faced a transformed scorpion while Sage Lu Tao and Ji Shuanghua supported the Elixir Twilight Clan’s two Foundational disciples.
While defending, they suppress the transformed scorpion.
“Deal with your opponent quickly, don’t drag the fight!” Chen Jingzhai’s deep voice rang out.
Everyone gritted their teeth and did not hold back.
The sword light shone in the forest, and the sword vapor ripped apart the scorpions’ armor.
The disciples of the Three Great Sword Branches performed well and harvested the Grade 2 demonic beasts with ease.
On the side, Kong Guang also fought a transformed scorpion alone. Hearing Chen Jingzhai’s words, he did not hold back either.
Dazzling sword energy burst forth rapidly and directly hit the connection point between the abdomen and tail of the scorpion, heavily injuring the transformed scorpion.
Chen Jingzhai took care of the transformed scorpion and took all the corpses away.
Through the power of Reversed Formation, his presence was elusive and fleeting.
In a short period of time, it helped everyone to quickly solve their targets.
There was no time to rest, and Chen Jingzhai led the group away quickly.
In just 10 minutes, more poisonous scorpions arrived at the scene. Only the traces of the battle were seen, but no corpses were found.
They heard the nonstop wails and cries, but they did not chase after them.
It was not until Chen Jingzhai left the scorpion’s territory that he started to set up a formation.
He let everyone rest first and meditate to restore their spiritual essence.
In less than half an hour, they continued on their way.
Everyone had a sense of urgency in their hearts, and this sense of urgency would become stronger and stronger in the future.
After leaving the territory of Ink Jade Jackals, they were successively attacked by the green-tailed scorpions, surrounded by the tiger leopards, pursued by Golden Back Sky Wolves, and roared at by the Nightblade Demon Bears.
These demonic beasts were not as easygoing as the bull demonic beasts and jackals. These battles were life-and-death. There was no saving face or being kind to the other party. If they crossed paths, they would attack directly without showing any mercy.
The most important thing was that as the group went deeper to the heart of the Woods Ocean, there was a higher likelihood of them encountering more tyrannical demonic beasts and powerful demons. Even Chen Jingzhai could not offer them his protection.
Each time he helped everyone with the Reversed Formation and spells, and each time someone would get hurt. Some of their injuries were accidental, but some were because their opponent was too strong, such as the Nightblade Demon Bears.
The transformed powerful demonic bears not only had an exoskeleton, but their speed was also very fast. Just a roar would send the ground into tremor, and everyone who was within range would feel dizzy. The roars would send wind blades flying around, leaving no time for him to care.
After Chen Jingzhai struggled to kill a transformed powerful demon, he turned around to help others.
Even so, after leaving the territory of the Nightblade Demon Bears, all the spiritual item-grade magic robes of all the Foundational disciples exploded, losing the power of the Restriction. They were extremely damaged.
Fortunately, with the elixirs from the Elixir Twilight Clan, everyone could recover quickly even if they were injured. Chen Jingzhai generously took out spiritual stones to let everyone replenish their spiritual essence.
At this point, they were only halfway through the long Woods Ocean Ancient Path.
