In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

The next morning, Sha Xiao brought up the matter with many of the elders.

Upon hearing Sha Xiao's suggestion, smiles appeared on the faces of many elders.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Sha, what a coincidence! We've also come to discuss this matter with you," Elder Wu Qingfeng said with a smile, stroking his white beard.

Elder Han suppressed his inner elation and smiled with narrowed eyes:

"Every year at this time, we take a group of disciples to Lingxu to hone their skills and draw blood."

"The potential of these two celestial children is evident to all. It would be best if they were willing to join the trial," Elder Wang said with a smile.

In just a few words, the group finalized their itinerary.

Early the next morning, they led more than a hundred disciples away from Lingxu Cave and headed towards the adjacent ancient ruins.

Just as you approach the edge of the ruins, you can see towering ancient trees, hear deafening roars of savage beasts, and smell the stench of blood—a scene of primordial chaos.

Looking up at the sky, you can occasionally see strange, fierce birds circling overhead.

"I'll remind you one more time: be extremely careful, and don't underestimate this trial, because it concerns your lives..."

Elder Wu Qingfeng patiently explained many issues that needed attention and shared their accumulated experience.

However, many disciples are not immersed in the fantasy of digging for treasure, killing demons, picking up treasures, and soaring to the sky.

They surrounded Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the group of immortal seedlings, showering them with compliments and secretly agreeing to form a team.

Apart from Ye Fan and Pang Bo, few people heeded Elder Wu Qingfeng's admonition.

"A giant python!"

As soon as they entered the woods, someone exclaimed in surprise, having spotted a large, spotted python as thick as a water bucket.

"Get out of the way!"

Just as the giant python, covered in colorful spots, opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of mist that was about to engulf the disciple, Ye Fan suddenly leaned in and knocked the python away.

The mist brushed against the disciple's arm and fell, instantly corroding it into yellowed, withered bones and creating a large hole in the ground.

The giant python quickly adjusted its strategy, tapping the ground with its tail and creating a large crater.

Using this force, it was able to wrap its body around Ye Fan.

At the same time, the Poison Dragon turned its head to spray venom at Ye Fan.

The multicolored venom hissed and corroded the air, spraying towards Ye Fan at a speed faster than lightning.

"You beast!"

Ye Fan roared, and a golden light flashed across his body. Immediately, numerous golden armors appeared on his arms with a "crackling" sound.

When the armor collided with the venom, a violent reaction occurred immediately, and wisps of poisonous gas dispersed.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding vines withered, the ancient trees became droopy, and they fell into decay.

"Oh no! This venomous dragon has grown powerful! It has a life-giving spring!"

Elder Han, who was keeping a close eye on Ye Fan, noticed something was wrong with the giant python immediately and was about to step in to save Ye Fan.

Elder Wu Qingfeng pulled Elder Han aside and glanced at the unhurried Sha Xiao, saying, "No rush, Fellow Daoist Sha hasn't made a move yet."

"Is that all the strength you have?" Ye Fan rolled over on the ground and laughed.

As if the power of the giant python coiling around him didn't exist, he shook off the python, grabbed its head, and forcefully squeezed its mouth shut.

In the next instant, the armor quickly wrapped around Ye Fan's arms, and he instantly became a golden-armored warrior.

The giant python immediately realized something was wrong. It went berserk and used all its strength to drag Ye Fan to the ground, where it rolled around violently.

At the same time, it also secreted strands of venom from the gaps between its scales.

However, Ye Fan, protected by his armor, was not afraid at all. He simply held the giant snake with one hand to prevent himself from being strangled to death, and used the other hand to forcefully pound it.

Where the man and the snake rolled, ancient trees fell, rocks decayed, and soil melted into mud pits.

After a short while, the noise finally subsided.

"Huffing and puffing—"

Ye Fan released the giant snake, stepped out of the mud, disarmed himself, sat down, and breathed heavily.

He was covered in mud, and his hair was mixed with withered branches and leaves; he looked extremely disheveled.

"Haha, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with. I've exhausted all my divine power. Fortunately, I've accomplished my mission."

Ye Fan pretended to be exhausted and laughed while panting.

"Not at all, Fellow Daoist Ye, it's already quite remarkable that you were able to defeat the Poison Dragon."

"Haha, it's normal for you to feel a little out of sorts this time, fellow Daoist. You'll get used to it after a while."

Seeing his disheveled appearance, the immortal seedlings who had just been showing him concern were still praising him.

But the initial warmth had faded, and no one came to help.

When they turned around, those people pursed their lips and began to whisper amongst themselves.

"He's having such a hard time dealing with a small snake. It seems his skills are nothing special. He's all show and no substance."

"Judging from his power on Qingmao Mountain, I thought he was some kind of immortal disciple. Turns out, without the advantage of terrain, he's nothing special. Don't even mention Senior Sister Weiwei, he's far inferior to you, Senior Sister Li."

"Hehehe, don't say that. At least it's intimidating enough at the doorstep, it's qualified to be a guard dog."

As they spoke, these people dispersed into twos and threes and entered the forest, seemingly forgetting about their earlier request to team up with Ye Fan.

Pang Bo stepped forward to help Ye Fan up, gritting his teeth and muttering, "You snobbish jerk!"

"never mind."

Ye Fan patted the withered branch, stopped Pang Bo, put the poisonous dragon into the Bitter Sea, and meditated slowly for a while before slowly walking into the deep forest with Pang Bo.

Above the disciples, a group of elders angrily criticized them for their lack of ambition.

"Foolish! Lacking discernment and showing no camaraderie among fellow disciples!" Elder Li roared in fury.

If Sha Xiao hadn't been there, he would have loved to go down and slap his disciples.

Let's not even mention that they all stood by and watched, belittling those in power and looking down on their fellow disciples.

If you can't even tell the level of a monster you're facing, you're bound to die sooner or later.

"Sigh, I told you all long ago that the sect's conduct has been corrupt these past two years, and we need to expel a group of disciples," Elder Wu Qingfeng said, shaking his head.

"Cough cough, young people are always immature." Sha Xiao coughed violently, waving his hand as if he didn't care.

Elder Li was still angry when he suddenly noticed the woods shaking and someone returning: "Huh? Who's that?"

Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized him as Elder Han's grandson, Han Feiyu.

He found Ye Fan and the others for some reason, explaining that he had just been trying to take care of the others' feelings, and that he hadn't forgotten his promise to Ye Fan and the others, and was willing to team up with them, and so on.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchanged a surprised glance and naturally accepted it.

In an instant, the entire team split into three groups and advanced in three directions.

"Haha, Elder Han, you've really raised a fine grandson!" Elder Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Elder Han waved his hand dismissively, saying, "When I teach Feiyu, I always put morality first. This is just what I should do."

"In that case, Brother Han, why don't you and Fellow Daoist Sha keep an eye on that side and take good care of Fei Yu and the two immortal seedlings?"

"Brother Wu and I will each take care of the other two sides, that way we can both keep an eye on things."

Seeing the teams split into three directions, Elder Li made a suggestion.

None of them objected, and soon they all flew off in different directions.

-----------------

In the dense forest, Han Feiyu chatted incessantly with Ye Fan and the others.

He would occasionally cite his elder grandfather as an endorsement.

"Brother Ye, Brother Pang, to be honest, I have a reason for teaming up with you."

"Before I set off, my grandfather gave me several places where the miraculous medicine might be hidden. If I can find it, I will definitely win the competition."

"If I were alone, I naturally wouldn't dare go, but with two fellow Daoists present, I wonder..."

"They've taken the bait!" Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchanged a glance, both thinking in unison.

"Of course, no problem. With the three of us working together, we can take down anything except the Great Demon of the Divine Bridge," Pang Bo assured, patting his chest.

Han Feiyu exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! With the help of these two fellow Daoists, we'll surely establish our prestige in front of everyone, earn the respect of the other elders, and grow even faster!"

With Ye Fan and Pang Bo's conscious cooperation, they quickly deviated from the main group and moved deeper into the area.

Before long, Han Feiyu led them to the front of a deep cave.

Outside the cave, there were mounds of white bones, and a strong, pungent stench could be smelled from afar.

"This is it." Han Feiyu led Ye Fan and the others to lie prone in the woods a hundred meters outside the cave.

Pang Bo sniffed and asked skeptically, "Is there really some miracle drug here? I only smell a fishy odor."

Ye Fan affirmed, "I believe Fei Yu; he didn't lie to us. Smell it carefully again; there is indeed a medicinal smell."

Pang Bo carefully sensed it for a while, and sure enough, a faint fragrance would occasionally waft through the stench.

Just by smelling it, I felt my blood boiling and a sense of power breaking through.

Han Feiyu said proudly, "There is a nearly two-hundred-year-old Blood Orchid inside. As long as you consume it, you can further explore your bloodline."

"A crescent bear has been guarding it for fifty years. How about that? This will definitely be useful to you, right?"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo nodded: "Indeed, this will be of great use to us."

"I specially found this for you first. After you get it, you must also help me get the divine medicine," Han Feiyu instructed.

"Of course, you keep an eye on it for us while we go try out that bear," Ye Fan and Pang Bo said with a smile, patting Han Feiyu on the shoulder.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Bo rushed into the cave.

"Awooo—!"

"roar--!"

Soon, the sounds of bears roaring and wolves howling echoed from inside the cave, and the loose rocks on the cave floor rattled and trembled.

The sound grew louder and louder, and soon it reached the ground.

A cyan figure darted out of the cave first, followed by a loud thud as a gray-black shadow crashed out!

The first to emerge was a blue wolf with the speed of wind on its feet, and the second to emerge was naturally the crescent bear that Han Feiyu had mentioned.

The bear's fur was as fine as needles, and it had a tuft of silver-white crescent-shaped markings on its chest.

Although it can stand five meters tall, it is not bulky at all, and its speed is almost the same as that of the Wind Chaser Wolf that Pang Bo transformed into.

"Leaf, attack together!" the wolf said in human language.

"Okay!" Ye Fan replied, donning his golden armor.

The two, one in front and one behind, quickly engaged in a fierce battle with the Crescent Bear.

Han Feiyu lay prone in the dense forest, watching Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchange blows with the giant bear, each punch creating a large crater and each stomp generating a shockwave.

"This can't go on. If we keep fighting like this, even our divine power won't be enough. I'll hold the line, you finish the job!"

Pang Bo, now transformed into a demonic wolf, was panting heavily.

"Hmm!" Ye Fan, who was wrestling with the giant bear, grunted.

Suddenly, the demon wolf that Pang Bo had transformed into pounced fiercely on the giant bear's back, biting hard at the bear's nape.

Unable to bear the pain and sensing Ye Fan loosening his grip and retreating, the giant bear immediately turned around and fiercely punched Pang Bo behind it.

"Cough cough!" Pang Bo's transformed wolf waist was instantly broken by the hammer, and large amounts of blood gushed from the corner of his mouth.

Han Feiyu felt both nervous and excited as he watched this scene.

Ye Fan seized the opening created by Pang Bo, canceled his golden armor, concentrated his strength in one place, and punched the giant bear's head.

Before the giant bear could turn around, its head took the brunt of the blow.

With a "thud," the head and the column of blood flew high into the air, drenching Pang Bo in blood.

The giant wolf coughed up blood and collapsed limply, while Ye Fan knelt on the ground, his face pale.

"Go to hell, Ye Fan!"

Seeing that Ye Fan and Pang Bo both looked exhausted, Han Feiyu, covered in mud, laughed triumphantly as he climbed up from the mud.

His sea of ​​suffering shone with a light that was both dazzling and blinding.

A small, square wooden seal, less than an inch long but shimmering with light, burst forth from the Sea of ​​Bitterness and hurtled straight at Ye Fan.

This is a genuine green wood seal, a magical artifact refined by a master, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Han Feiyu was overjoyed. So what if he was a fairy seedling?

When you're out in the game, the most important thing is your brain!

He had only offered a few words of flattery, yet the two of them dared to entrust their backs to him so readily; they were as naive as three-year-olds.

Apart from a bit of good luck and being born into a good family, how could such a celestial seed compare to a single hair on his head?

They deserve to die!

Being able to become a stepping stone for themselves and their grandfather to move forward is the greatest honor of their lives.

"Idiot." A soft laugh rang out, instantly chilling Han Feiyu to the bone.

Pang Bo, who had been like a dead dog, instantly transformed back into human form, his energy flowing freely and his blood surging to the heavens, showing no sign of injury whatsoever.

Ye Fan, who had just been exhausted, turned around and grabbed the Green Wood Seal, which weighed tens of thousands of kilograms and was empowered by divine power, with his bare hands.

"Impossible!" Han Feiyu roared hoarsely.

He didn't understand why, why the two idiots who had fought fiercely with the Great Demon of the Divine Bridge and were like dead dogs could suddenly stand up with great energy.

Ye Fan flicked his finger, and the air rippled out, hitting Han Feiyu on the forehead, causing him to faint instantly.

After placing the protective seal on him and placing him in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, Ye Fan nodded to Pang Bo: "There's no one else here, let's do it."

"I'm always the one who gets hurt." Pang Bo muttered as he took out a small knife and cut his wrist, while simultaneously channeling the energy of the Nourishing Immortal Gu to enhance his own.

In an instant, all living beings within a hundred miles converged on him as if by magic.

-----------------

High in the sky, Elder Han, who was chatting idly with Sha Xiao, suddenly spotted the beast tide.

"Oh no! Ye Fan and the others are in danger!"

Seeing the beast tide beginning to converge on Ye Fan and his group, Elder Han's expression changed instantly, showing seven parts anxiety and three parts elation.

The reason this could have happened is that Han Feiyu led Ye Fan and the others to the location of the Blood Orchid.

During the fierce battle between Ye Fan and his companions and the little bear, the Blood Orchid absorbed the blood of the Immortal Seed, activating the residual medicinal power within the blood!

Elder Han accelerated the divine rainbow without warning and deliberately loosened the restrictions, causing the gale to make Sha Xiao's white hair disheveled and make him cough so hard he couldn't straighten up.

"Fellow Daoist Sha, let me help you up." Elder Han, seeing this, pretended to be worried and reached out to press on the back of Sha Xiao's neck, as if to help him catch his breath.

His fingers were like iron bars, dry and withered, with only a layer of old skin covering the finger bones.

Just as his hand was about to touch Sha Xiao's neck, his bloodless and lifeless dark lips couldn't help but part into a grin.

The shriveled gums and loose, black teeth trembled and quivered, and even the atrophied tongue couldn't help but bounce.

"It'll be here soon! It'll be here soon!" Elder Han was filled with joy.

To everyone's surprise, Sha Xiao actually told them the truth.

In his perception, Sha Xiao's physical vitality was truly like that of an ordinary mortal, his life force as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

So fragile, if you just put your hand on it, you could destroy his life in an instant!

At that time, I will obtain the inheritance of the great master of Sendai, and I will also have two immortal seedlings and divine medicines that can make me return to my youth!

Heaven has eyes! My life, Han Li's life, is finally about to take a turn for the better!

After three hundred years of wandering and hardship, my time has come and I have become king!

The thought of soon reaching the pinnacle of life made Han Li hum softly.

"Die!" Staring at the back of Sha Xiao's neck, he channeled all his divine power, determined to kill him with a single blow!
