After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Seeing Xu Qingman in a daze, Yu Jinchen and his daughter called out at the same time.

"Mother, we should leave here."

"Manman, what's wrong?"

Xu Qingman seemed not to hear, but excitedly grabbed her husband's sleeve and pointed at the cliff in front of the icy pool, shouting.

"Dragon Blood Grass, it's Dragon Blood Grass! We need to hurry, we can't let those two sea monsters get their hands on it."

Following the direction she pointed, Yu Jinchen and the other two also saw the blood-red Dragon Blood Grass growing on the cliff.

At this moment, the dragon blood grass was glowing with a faint red light, with only a trace of tender green remaining at its roots. Once this tender green turned red, the dragon blood grass would be fully mature.

Dragon's blood grass takes at least tens of thousands of years to grow from germination to maturity.

Furthermore, it cannot grow just anywhere; it needs to be in a place where a true dragon once lived, and absorb enough of the true dragon's spiritual energy.

What's even more remarkable is that Dragon Blood Grass doesn't emit any spiritual energy before it matures, which explains why the two treasure-hunting mice, Big White and Little White, didn't react at all.

However, just before it matures, the Dragon Blood Grass will secrete a special scent that is difficult for ordinary human cultivators to detect.

But monsters are different, especially sea monsters.

Even from hundreds of miles away, they could accurately find the trace of Dragon Blood Grass from that extremely faint scent.

Sure enough, at this moment, two giant pythons were crouching on either side of the Dragon Blood Grass, and several other snake-like monsters were also coming after them, drawn by the scent.

Dragon Blood Grass is not only extremely useful to cultivators, but also a rare treasure for demonic beasts.

After all, just one leaf is enough to enhance the physical body. It also has the potential to activate the dragon veins within the body, making the user's physique as powerful as a dragon.

When they saw what was happening in front of them, Yu Jinchen and the other two, like Xu Qingman, immediately showed anxious expressions.

This thing is really rare; even with a lot of spirit stones, there's nowhere to buy it. If those few demonic beasts take it, they don't know how long they'll regret it.

Xu Shuyi tugged at Yu Jinchen, "Father, let's try using the Concealment Talisman."

Seeing the several ninth-tier demonic beasts arriving one after another, Yu Jinchen nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, we really can't fight them head-on. There are more than just those two tenth-tier demonic beasts over there now."

The four discussed it and decided that Yu Jinchen would use a concealment talisman to get close, wait for the dragon blood grass to mature, dig it up, and then run away.

Xu Qingman and her two children were to provide backup along the way. Once they reunited, the four of them would try to rush towards the sea together. If they couldn't get out, they would have to find a way to capture the monsters.

After making the arrangements, the family of four got to work on their own.

Crouching between two level-ten demonic beasts, Yu Jinchen was still a little nervous.

As for the few demonic beasts that arrived later, they only dared to look at the tenth-tier creatures on both sides of the Dragon Blood Grass from a distance and did not dare to get too close.

As for Yu Jinchen, he was currently both wary of the two demonic beasts discovering him beforehand and also had to observe whether the dragon blood grass was mature, so he was indeed somewhat exhausted.

As the two demons waited anxiously, the last wisp of green from the Dragon Blood Grass finally turned red, and in an instant, the spiritual energy on the entire island became incredibly dense.

Just as the two tenth-tier demonic beasts were about to make their move, Yu Jinchen had already dug out the dragon blood grass and thrown it into his storage ring, then quickly darted away into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, the treasure they had guarded for so long disappeared from their sight, and the two demonic beasts roared angrily to the sky.

Following the faint scent emanating from Yu Jinchen, the two Flame Pythons gave chase at top speed, determined not to give up until they caught him.

Yu Jinchen fled in the direction agreed upon by Xu Qingman and the other two. Just as he was about to be caught, Xu Shuyi, who was waiting there, suddenly thrust out her sword.

The Flaming Python, which was chasing in the lead, was so focused on chasing Yu Jinchen that it didn't notice that someone was hiding there. In a moment of carelessness, its most vulnerable spot was pierced right through.

Seeing his companion die at the hands of this cultivator in a single encounter, the Crimson Flame Python behind him instantly went berserk, its massive tail sweeping towards Yu Jinchen and his son.

If Xu Qingman hadn't arrived and thrown a few thunderstorm talismans, the father and son would definitely have been seriously injured.

Since it was impossible to escape directly, the family of four decided to stay and deal with the giant python.

A python that can cultivate to the tenth level is no simple creature. The one at the beginning could be easily killed by Xu Shuyi, but it was only because it was focused on chasing Yu Jinchen that it was accidentally caught in the trap.

In terms of cultivation level, a tenth-level demon beast is one level higher than Xu Qingman's family. Moreover, demon beasts are naturally much stronger than human cultivators, so it is not so easy to fight them head-on.

However, human cultivators also have many advantages that demonic beasts cannot match, such as talismans, magic weapons, and elixirs.

Given enough time, once the demon beast has exhausted its spiritual energy, it will be the best time for the human cultivator to make a move.

Because of this, the two sides have been fighting for more than half an hour, but apart from occasionally throwing one or two talismans, Xu Qingman and her family of four have only been dodging.

However, the Crimson Flame Python, driven mad by the death of its companion, relentlessly attacked the four of them. When its spiritual power was nearly exhausted, the four of them attacked together, and two of their swords were stuck seven inches deep.

In no time at all, the tenth-tier Crimson Flame Python was dead beyond any doubt.

As for the other monsters that followed, they were so frightened by the fact that even the tenth-tier elder brother couldn't win that they fled in a swarm.

"Hahaha, great, Mom, we won!"

Finally, after killing the tenth-tier demonic beast, Xu Shuyin happily hugged her mother and laughed.

"Alright, let's quickly put these two demonic beasts away and leave. The commotion was so loud just now, it would be troublesome if it attracted attention."

Yu Jinchen's worries were justified, and the mother and her two children did not object. They quickly packed up the two demonic beasts and flew off the island on their swords.

At this moment, they were extremely fortunate that the sea in this secret realm was different from the land, and they could fly on swords. Otherwise, they would not have been able to deal with the sea monsters so easily.

He still did not choose to go up from below the whirlpool, but instead swam to a place dozens of miles away with the help of the water-repelling pearl.

Yu Jinchen told them to stay in the water and not move. He gently surfaced first, and only after confirming that there was no one on the nearby sea did he signal the mother and children to follow.

Once they left the water, the family of four quickly flew away in another direction on their swords.

At this moment, not far from the vortex, the Eastern Ancestor of the Nine Yang Sect, who had already transcended the tribulation, looked at the others.

"Fellow Daoists, you must have been attracted here by that sudden surge of rich spiritual energy, right?"

If I'm not mistaken, someone must have obtained some incredible treasure from down there, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a commotion.

I'm planning to go down into the whirlpool to take a look. What are your opinions?

Upon hearing that Ancestor Donglin was going down, Ancestor Qingfeng of Yunying Sect and Ancestor Muchen of Shengjian Sect both expressed their desire to accompany him.

Although the vortex looked terrifying, it did not frighten the few people who had already transcended the tribulation.

After the three of them, including the Eastern Ancestor, went down and found the place where they had dug up the Dragon Blood Grass, they all regretted it so much that they beat their chests and stamped their feet, blaming themselves for not going to this sea area first.

…………

Xu Qingman and her family of four were flying north on their swords when they suddenly sensed several frightening auras chasing after them.

Sensing the approaching presence, Yu Jinchen glanced at his wife and children and cried out in alarm.

"This is bad. Our whereabouts have probably been discovered by powerful beings at the Tribulation Transcending level or above."
