Chapter 22

"Is...this an illusion?"

Chu Feng was extremely surprised. Being able to sense the specific location of the spirit medicine, he naturally knew what this meant.

If this sensing ability was real, it would mean that he would be like a fish in water within the Spirit Medicine Mountain.

"Whoosh"

Thinking about this, Chu Feng did not hesitate but headed in the direction he sensed, wanting to investigate.

The closer he got, the more delighted Chu Feng became, as the fluctuations of the Heavenly Spirit Grass in his mind grew stronger, which mostly indicated that the current sensing was not an illusion.

When Chu Feng crossed a patch of grass, a red plant indeed appeared before him, which was the Heavenly Spirit Grass.

The Heavenly Spirit Grass was a bit taller than the Earth Spirit Grass, with red branches emitting a bright red light, like burning flames, looking particularly beautiful in the darkness.

"Little thing, you've played with me for a whole day. I wonder if you can escape this time."

Seeing the Heavenly Spirit Grass, Chu Feng did not stop but rushed over immediately. He condensed spirit energy at the soles of his feet, doubling his speed. In almost the blink of an eye, he reached the Heavenly Spirit Grass.

"Hum" However, before Chu Feng could make a move, the Heavenly Spirit Grass flickered and disappeared.

"Want to run? Can you escape?"

Seeing the Heavenly Spirit Grass trying to escape, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Chu Feng's mouth. He stepped forward and grabbed the air with his hands. A scream was heard, and a Heavenly Spirit Grass was already in Chu Feng's grasp.

The Heavenly Spirit Grass, once caught by Chu Feng, immediately revealed its true form and began to struggle wildly, with a force several times stronger than the Earth Spirit Grass. However, it was futile in Chu Feng's hands. In the end, it could only obediently be stripped of its spirit nature, transforming into a half-inch-long red medicinal herb, lying in Chu Feng's palm.

"It seems this is definitely not an illusion."

Chu Feng casually threw the Heavenly Spirit Grass into his bag, feeling extremely elated. Although he did not know where this unique sensing ability came from, it undoubtedly became his strongest support.

"Could it be..."

But upon further thought, Chu Feng was not hard-pressed to figure out the source of this power. After all, it only appeared after he stepped into the Ten Thousand Bone Tomb, especially those bizarre gases, which targeted the brain.

If the bizarre gases' attack made Chu Feng's consciousness stronger, this would make perfect sense.

"Tsk tsk, it's coming to me again."

Just then, his vision suddenly brightened again, and another Heavenly Spirit Grass entered his sensing range.

With this powerful sensing ability, almost no Heavenly Spirit Grass could escape Chu Feng's hands. Any escape attempt was futile.

Chu Feng did not sleep all night. By the time it was light, he had already caught dozens of Heavenly Spirit Grass. Such a harvest would drive anyone crazy.

If someone discovered this, they might even rob Chu Feng, as incidents of disciples robbing each other within the Spirit Medicine Mountain were not uncommon.

However, Chu Feng's sensing ability was not limited to the Heavenly Spirit Grass. Even when humans entered a certain range, they would be detected by Chu Feng, so almost no one could discover his whereabouts.

Another day passed, and when night fell again, Chu Feng's bag was almost full. This time, Chu Feng did not continue hunting but found a secluded place to begin refining the Heavenly Spirit Grass.

Chu Feng's refining speed was absolutely top-notch. In just two hours, the bag full of Heavenly Spirit Grass was completely refined.

Moreover, his dantian became increasingly full, which made Chu Feng very pleased. Although the Heavenly Spirit Grass was not as good as the Immortal Spirit Grass, if he could refine such quantities every day, he would definitely break through within ten days.

From that day on, Chu Feng roamed the central area of the Spirit Medicine Mountain, hunting Heavenly Spirit Grass in large numbers. He would stop only late at night and refine all the Heavenly Spirit Grass he had hunted that day. After resting for two hours, he would continue his frenzied hunting.

This cycle continued, and on the ninth day of hunting Heavenly Spirit Grass, a tumultuous change occurred in Chu Feng's dantian. The nine thunder beasts transformed again, and Chu Feng finally broke through to the Fifth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm.

"This power, even when facing a Sixth Level Spirit Martial, should be able to fight."

Feeling the strength that had increased several times, Chu Feng marveled. With the divine thunder attached to his body, his strength was indeed far superior to others.

Especially the three forms of thunder he mastered, if unleashed, even a Sixth Level Spirit Martial expert would not be his match.

This kind of cross-level battle already exceeded the norm. Although some extremely talented geniuses could achieve this, they were, after all, geniuses. If such a thing really happened to someone close, everyone would be shocked.

After his strength improved, Chu Feng found it even easier to catch Heavenly Spirit Grass. It only took half a day to fill his bag. Since his rations were almost finished, another bag also became a tool for Chu Feng to store spirit medicines.

However, Chu Feng no longer wanted to limit himself to the Heavenly Spirit Grass. He began to move towards the inner area, wanting to meet the legendary Immortal Spirit Grass, which was not weaker than a sixth-stage fierce beast.

"This aura..."

But just after entering the inner area, Chu Feng sensed two extremely powerful auras.

One aura was from a spirit medicine, but it was filled with intense malevolent energy, clearly the spirit-endowed Immortal Spirit Grass, and there were a large number, nearly a hundred.

The other aura was human, also extremely powerful, likely a Seventh Level Spirit Martial expert.

At this moment, the two auras intertwined, clearly indicating that someone was battling the Immortal Spirit Grass. However, the person's aura was unstable, indicating they were in trouble.

"Who dares to fight so many Immortal Spirit Grass alone?"

Out of curiosity, Chu Feng decided to see what was happening. After crossing layer upon layer of trees, he was stunned by the scene in the distance.

Three-meter-tall giant plants, covered in purple thorns, with a blood-red mouth full of fangs, exuding a menacing aura. This was no longer the Immortal Spirit Grass but a monster.

However, compared to these terrifying Immortal Spirit Grass, Chu Feng's gaze was fixed on a petite figure, as this figure not only weaved through the formation of nearly a hundred Immortal Spirit Grass but was also a genuine beauty.

The flowing long hair, the delicate face, the snow-white skin, and the eyes that were fearless yet contained a hint of stubbornness, deeply attracted Chu Feng.

This girl was undoubtedly the most beautiful person Chu Feng had ever seen. However, what attracted him was not just her beauty but also her strength at such a young age.

"Be careful of your feet."

Suddenly, Chu Feng shouted, as he sensed a hidden Immortal Spirit Grass under the girl's feet.

"What?"

The girl did not notice Chu Feng, but the sudden shout still startled her. She instinctively jumped into the air by tapping her feet.

As soon as she left the ground, a giant Immortal Spirit Grass indeed emerged from the ground, baring its fangs and claws.

This sudden change made the girl feel a chill down her spine. If not for the voice's warning, she would have surely suffered a great loss. With a grateful heart, the girl looked at Chu Feng.

However, when she saw Chu Feng, her delicate face instantly stiffened, and she exclaimed in surprise, "It's you?"
