Chapter 833: Chapter 834 The Pure Immortal Vine

"Be careful, senior! This is a secret technique of Nine Demon City!"

The woman, upon seeing Chu Fengmian’s sudden appearance, had a delighted look on her face, then quickly warned him.

However, her words seemed somewhat redundant.

A sword edge was about to strike Chu Fengmian, but just as it was about to touch him, Chu Fengmian lightly raised his hand, pointed his finger, and the sword edge disintegrated into ashes before it could reach him, without any spiritual power touching Chu Fengmian’s body.

"What!"

The man clearly did not expect his sword strike to be so effortlessly blocked by Chu Fengmian. His gaze flickered, and suddenly the sword edge flashed again, but this time it changed direction, fiercely slashing towards the outside of the Magic Valley.

At the same time, the man’s body merged with the sword edge, intending to follow it and escape the Magic Valley.

"Trying to run? Stay here!"

Chu Fengmian sneered. How could he let someone from Nine Demon City escape?

With a grab of his hand, the sword edge beside the man shattered instantly, and the man’s body was caught by Chu Fengmian, crushed directly in his palm.

The man’s blood energy was completely devoured by Chu Fengmian.

"The Blood Sword Demon Venerable died just like that?"

Seeing the man, the Blood Sword Demon Venerable, being so easily crushed by Chu Fengmian, the woman’s face was still in a daze, somewhat unable to react.

The Blood Sword Demon Venerable was notorious in the central region, and she herself had almost died at his hands. Yet now, he was defeated so effortlessly by Chu Fengmian.

This level of power was rare even among the disciples of the seven great sects.

After her initial shock, the woman gradually came to her senses, quickly thanking Chu Fengmian.

"Thank you for saving me, senior. I’m deeply grateful."

"Your surname is Gu? From the Gu family in Ningzhou Ancient City?"

Chu Fengmian looked at the woman and suddenly asked.

"Yes, I am from the Gu family in Ningzhou Ancient City. My name is Gu Jin, a disciple of the Gu family."

Gu Jin nodded and spoke to Chu Fengmian.

"May I know your name, senior? Which sect are you from?"

"I am Chu Fengmian. I’m not a disciple from the central region; I just happened to come here for some affairs."

Chu Fengmian replied calmly.

Upon hearing the woman’s surname was Gu, Chu Fengmian roughly guessed her background.

In the northern part of the central region was a city called Ningzhou Ancient City, a bustling commercial center. Initially, Chu Fengmian also planned to visit Ningzhou Ancient City to see if he could purchase any holy medicines for refining Saint-grade spirit pills. Unexpectedly, he accidentally saved a member of the Gu family.

"You’ve suffered quite a serious injury. You should focus on recovering first, and we can talk later."

Chu Fengmian glanced at Gu Jin and advised.

Gu Jin had been forced into a desperate situation by the Blood Sword Demon Venerable, sustaining considerable injuries. If she didn’t recover, it might affect her realm.

"This is an elixir pill, it should be enough for your recovery."

Chu Fengmian searched through the Blood Sword Demon Venerable’s space ring and found a jade bottle, directly handing it to Gu Jin.

This kind of healing elixir pill meant nothing to Chu Fengmian; it was useless for him to keep.

"This..."

Gu Jin hesitated for a moment upon seeing the elixir pill Chu Fengmian offered, but thinking of her injuries, she accepted it.

Now wasn’t the time for politeness. If the injuries worsened and affected her realm, it would be a big trouble.

"Thank you, senior."

Gu Jin took the elixir pill, sat down hurriedly, consumed it, and began to slowly cultivate to recover from her injuries.

Meanwhile, Chu Fengmian was surveying the area around the Magic Valley when his gaze fell in a particular direction.

In Chu Fengmian’s sight, there was a cave.

The aura of the holy medicine was emanating from that cave.

As Chu Fengmian approached the cave, numerous demonic qi enveloped the entrance, indicating someone had deliberately set up a restriction to prevent entry.

However, these restrictions were fragile before Chu Fengmian. With a wave of his hand, his spiritual power swept through, shattering all the barriers.

With a movement of his foot, Chu Fengmian stepped inside. Deep within the cave was a small pool.

Except this pool was not filled with water, but rather with highly concentrated spiritual power, condensed into liquid form through supreme means— making the entire pool pure spiritual energy.

Above this pool, there grew a vine. This vine was blackish-purple, seemingly different from ordinary vines.

It did not have the fragrant scent of medicinal herbs but instead emitted a pungent demonic qi. Moreover, this vine kept devouring the surrounding demonic qi. Each time it absorbed, its demonic intent grew stronger.

"Qingxian Vine, it’s actually Qingxian Vine."

Upon recognizing the vine, a hint of delight appeared on Chu Fengmian’s face.

Qingxian Vine was a versatile holy medicine, essential for refining any kind of elixir pill.

In medical practice, every medicine has its toxicity. The key to refining elixir pills is eliminating the toxins from the spiritual medicine, and Qingxian Vine is the best way to do that. By refining other spiritual medicines with Qingxian Vine, the toxins can be completely removed.

To refine Saint-grade spirit pills, and Qingxian Vine is necessary. Otherwise, the toxins in those holy medicines could be fatal for Chu Fengmian if ingested.

It seemed the Blood Sword Demon Venerable intended to demonize this Qingxian Vine, cultivating it into a Wan Mo Vine to enhance his power, hence the continual presence of demonic qi for it to absorb.

But now, this Qingxian Vine has fallen into Chu Fengmian’s hands.

"Rise!"

With a fierce grasp of his hand, Chu Fengmian seized the Qingxian Vine. Then, a drop of golden blood flew from Chu Fengmian’s fingertips, encircling the vine and setting it ablaze.

Under the flame, the demonic intent on the Qingxian Vine gradually dissipated, revealing its normal greenish-blue appearance, like any ordinary Qingxian Vine.

"Not bad, one essential element for refining Saint-grade spirit pills has been found. Quite a good start."

Chu Fengmian smiled and placed the Qingxian Vine into his space ring.

He had just arrived in the central region and already acquired this Qingxian Vine, indeed lucky.
