Traversing the path of life and death

Chapter Thirty-Six: Teleportation and Illusion

At this moment, Lin Yu had already stepped out of the small maze array. The scenery outside the array was exceptionally clear. The environment inside the cave truly shocked Lin Yu. Spiritual herbs were everywhere, and a faint fragrance permeated the air, making those who entered feel refreshed and relaxed, and their whole bodies were filled with strength.

After the serpentine soul disappeared from the giant wolf's body, the giant wolf seemed to have changed completely, leaping happily in front of Lin Yu. This time, after following Lin Yu out of the small maze, it looked at the spiritual herbs here, a hint of temptation appearing on its lips, and saliva kept dripping down its face. Seeing the giant wolf's current state, Lin Yu felt helpless.

The giant wolf ran to a red fruit that emitted a strong fragrance and licked it with its long tongue. Lin Yu was a little angry when he saw the giant wolf's action, but seeing how obsessed the giant wolf was with the red fruit, he thought to himself, "It seems that the red fruit has a fatal attraction for the giant wolf. Then I will grant his wish."

"This fruit is useless to you. The energy it contains is too great, and its effect is only on wild beasts. Often, a single fruit can increase the strength of a wild beast by an entire level. That giant wolf obviously knew the use of that red fruit, which is why it couldn't resist the temptation. You should collect the other spiritual herbs. They will be of great use to your cultivation," the old shaman's voice still calmly reached Lin Yu's mind.

The spiritual herbs here are not limited to the red fruit alone. The red fruit only grows in the peripheral areas. Most of the spiritual herbs are located in the central area. Lin Yu walked to the central area and looked at the complex spiritual herbs in front of him. He took out some utensils from his storage ring to store the spiritual herbs. These utensils were taken from his family so that he could obtain medicinal herbs in the Wild Beast Forest for storage.

Lin Yu's storage ring can store spiritual herbs perfectly intact, without any worry about them withering or dying. This was all told to him by Elder Wu. After all, a storage ring is very precious, especially the one in Lin Yu's hand, which is extremely valuable. It can not only store things, but it is also a symbol of power. Of course, that's a story for later.

Then, the containers used to store medicinal herbs were separated and neatly arranged in front of Lin Yu. Lin Yu walked to the container and looked at a purple moss growing on the ground. The petals were dark purple with a bright red center that formed a striking contrast with the vibrant red of the flower.

The Purple Flower, also known as the Immortal Flower, is primarily used for soul repair and has a significant impact on physical strength. These are just some of the characteristics of the Purple Flower; it also has some intrinsic functions that only the user can know.

"I've used this Purple Path Flower," Elder Wu's voice came again. After all, Elder Wu was now only a soul, which was preserved by his extraordinary strength and that peculiar ring. His soul had obviously faded and was more illusory than when he first showed his form. Moreover, the main function of this Purple Path Flower was to repair the soul. For Lin Yu, the Purple Path Flower had little effect on him.

Lin Yu replied decisively, "Understood, teacher, here you go." Then, the figure of the old shaman reappeared. Lin Yu looked at the illusory old shaman and felt a strange feeling in his heart, a kind of indescribable bitterness. The old shaman who appeared took the Purple Flower and quickly began to absorb it.

While Elder Wu was absorbing the Purple Flower, Lin Yu couldn't just sit idly by. Seeing the many spiritual herbs in front of him, Lin Yu picked up the container for storing the herbs and began to work.

“Prunus Cherry Blossom, Soul-Severing Flower, Blood-Coagulating Fruit, Nether Branch…” Lin Yu picked up the spiritual herbs and named them one by one. As each herb passed by, a faint smile appeared on Lin Yu’s lips.

Lin Yu had already cleared away most of the spiritual herbs in front of him, leaving only a few herbs growing on the edge. While Lin Yu was clearing away the spiritual herbs, Elder Wu had also finished absorbing the Purple Flower. The originally faint phantom appeared to have condensed a bit, but it was still not as solid as before.

After absorbing the Purple Flower, Elder Wu did not return to the ring. Instead, he stood beside Lin Yu, watching Lin Yu store the spiritual medicine, afraid that Lin Yu might make a mistake that could damage the medicine.

Seeing Lin Yu focused on storing the spiritual herbs, Elder Wu only showed a faint smile. With only a few herbs left, Elder Wu followed Lin Yu over.

There were only four spiritual herbs growing on the edge. One of them had been taken by the snow-white giant wolf. There were three other spiritual herbs left. Lin Yu looked at the remaining three. One of them was glowing with a bright red light, but it was a bit ugly. The top and bottom were oval-shaped, and the middle was slightly concave, which made it look particularly disharmonious.

The other two plants were exceptionally vibrant, also fiery red. Drops of liquid dripped from the medicinal herb, each drop creating a small hole in the ground. Over time, the hole in the ground became bottomless.

As usual, Lin Yu prepared to use tools to store them, but just as he was about to touch the two bright flowers, a hurried voice reached his ears.

"Don't touch it with your hands, or those two flowers will die." Lin Yu heard the old man's voice and his outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. A bead of sweat dripped from Lin Yu's face.

"These two flowers are called 'Qilian Flowers,' and their function is of great help in improving strength. However, if you touch them with something warm when picking them, the Qilian Flowers will die immediately and turn into particles that disappear into the air. Therefore, try to use tools when picking them," Elder Wu's voice came again.

Lin Yu took out a curved knife from his storage ring, slowly moved it toward the 'Qilian Flower', and then slashed it down. Lin Yu hurriedly took out a tool to put it away, and then threw it into his storage ring. The action was done in one go, without any hesitation.

Seeing that Lin Yu had taken the two 'Qilian Flowers', there was nothing left for him to linger here. Another ball of light appeared in front of Elder Wu, and it crashed into the wall at an extremely fast speed. The wall shattered in an instant. Seeing the wall explode, Elder Wu returned to his ring and said to Lin Yu indifferently, "Go out."

Lin Yu, who had just stepped outside, saw the familiar scene before him and knew that he had left the cave and returned to the Wild Beast Forest. The giant wolf seemed to sense something and roared beside Lin Yu. The last red fruit fell to the ground, and the giant wolf quickly grabbed it again, afraid of losing it.

"Now that your strength has reached the seventh level of Body Solidification, I will begin to teach you combat techniques," Elder Wu transmitted his voice, and then channeled a burst of energy into Lin Yu's mind.

Five huge characters immediately appeared in Lin Yu's mind: Shifting Illusion Technique.
