The surrounding cultivators were all expressionless and extremely cold, seemingly unconcerned by the two's conversation.
"Good, good! I never expected this outing to bring such an opportunity. Heaven truly aids me!" the young man exclaimed uncontrollably.
The young man was none other than Du Yanghui, the Eighth Prince of the Flood Dragon Clan. He had originally intended to come to the Taiyin Valley to seek some fortunate encounters.
The Flood Dragon Clan was a top-tier clan among the demon race, and they possessed a trace of True Dragon bloodline. Relying on this connection to True Dragons, they even styled themselves as the orthodox dragon race.
They were extremely arrogant and overbearing within the demon race, disregarding other clans unless they were the absolute top-tier ones.
He hadn't expected to encounter such an opportunity...
Although Du Yanghui, as the Eighth Prince of the Flood Dragon Clan, enjoyed certain resources of the clan,
there were simply too many princes within the Flood Dragon Clan, and many things were not enough to go around, forcing them to strive for them on their own.
It was impossible for him to obtain items like the Sword Pellet or the Taiyin Secret Realm Token.
"Your Highness, Eighth Prince, however, at the entrance, Princess Su Mengli of the Sky Demon Fox seemed to have some interest in that brat. Should we spare his life!" Xu Jin said, recalling something.
A hint of apprehension flickered in Du Yanghui's eyes.
He was actually targeted by that little vixen...
So what? Once he obtained his Sword Pellet, he believed that little vixen would no longer look at him with special favor.
"That Su Mengli is merely a little vixen who hasn't been cultivating for many years. Pay her no mind. Does my dignified Eighth Prince of the Flood Dragon Clan need to fear her?" Du Yanghui snorted coldly.
Upon hearing this, a shadow crossed Xu Jin's mind, and he quickly offered a few agreeable words before falling silent.
...
Deep within the Taiyin Valley.
Here, cold winds and a biting chill pervaded the air.
Jiang Li and Luo Yunxi slowly moved deeper into the valley.
Perhaps influenced by the fierce aura emanating from Jiang Li, they encountered no more monsters during their progress.
Jiang Li was using the recent turning point coordinates from Song Qiao's life script to search for the location of the Nirvana Liquid.
Concurrently, the [Phoenix Nirvana Sutra] within his body was silently circulating, sensing the aura of the Nirvana Liquid.
As Jiang Li's [Phoenix Nirvana Sutra] circulated, a vast amount of vital energy flowed through his body.
A scorching aura continuously emanated from Jiang Li.
"Master, there's treasure over there!" Suddenly, an urgent voice echoed from Jiang Li's spirit beast pouch.
Immediately afterward, a red spirit bird emerged from the spirit beast pouch.
Huh, did this common chicken upgrade?
Jiang Li's eyes lit up as he looked at Little Red, who was now flying beside him.
It had reached second tier...
A second-tier spirit beast was equivalent to a cultivator in the Qi Gathering realm among humans.
However, this Little Red was also a huge consumer of resources.
Jiang Li had stored many spirit herbs and precious spirit liquids in his spirit beast pouch, most of which were absorbed entirely by Little Red.
Although its advancement speed was fast, it was also built upon the expenditure of vast resources.
However, Jiang Li was not lacking in resources. With the life script system, he had no shortage of resources.
Not to mention, after entering the Taiyin Valley and killing a large number of cultivators, the fallen cultivators alone had provided Jiang Li with immense resources.
Jiang Li's current wealth far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators in the Divine Sea realm.
Perhaps some weaker cultivators in the Life and Death realm did not have as much wealth as Jiang Li.
Finally, it had shed its common chicken demeanor. Although it wasn't very majestic yet, it was much better than its previous appearance.
"Brother Jiang Li, what kind of spirit beast is this? It can even talk!" Luo Yunxi asked, looking at the red spirit bird.
"I am an Immortal Bird, an Immortal Bird with Phoenix blood!" Little Red said to Luo Yunxi beside it.
As it spoke, Little Red led Jiang Li and Luo Yunxi towards the direction of the treasure.
Jiang Li then explained the origin of this Immortal Bird to Luo Yunxi.
"Hehe, Brother Jiang Li, I also have a spirit beast that can talk!" Luo Yunxi's eyes lit up as if she had recalled something.
With that, a streak of white spiritual light flew out from the spirit beast pouch near Luo Yunxi's skirt.
A white fox, entirely milk-white in color with intelligent eyes, appeared in Luo Yunxi's embrace.
"Miss, where is this?" the white fox actually spoke human language.
Jiang Li was quite surprised. This was the first time he had seen a talking spirit beast besides Little Red.
Previously, when he was in the Qingyang Sect, Li Qin had taken him to wander around the Spirit Beast Pavilion for a long time, but he hadn't seen any that could talk.
He hadn't expected Luo Yunxi to also possess a talking spirit beast.
"Wow... what a handsome little fox..." Little Red's eyes widened as it looked at the spirit beast that had suddenly appeared in Luo Yunxi's embrace.
"Alright, stop looking and lead the way quickly!" Jiang Li snorted.
Little Red drooped its head and flew forward, not daring to talk back to Jiang Li at all. It clearly knew that Jiang Li was no easy person to deal with and was truly capable of stewing it.
Led by Little Red, the group proceeded deeper into the valley.
Shortly after, Jiang Li's [Phoenix Nirvana Sutra] within his body seemed to be catalyzed, and its circulation speed suddenly accelerated.
It must be up ahead, Jiang Li thought to himself.
After passing through a dense forest filled with a profound aura, the group finally reached their destination.
It was an extremely silent valley.
The surroundings of the valley seemed to be filled with a dense, chilling energy. The chilling energy had almost condensed into a tangible form, like heavy mist.
Jiang Li held Luo Yunxi's hand and walked towards the valley enveloped by the mist.
Little Red flew in the air, guiding Jiang Li and the others in the correct direction.
After traversing the heavy mist, Jiang Li and the others finally entered the valley.
Upon entering the valley, Jiang Li immediately felt a scorching aura washing over him.
The surroundings of the valley were filled with vibrant life.
Many rare spirit herbs were distributed around, and the air was filled with an aura of abundant spiritual energy.
In the depths of the valley, there was a pool emitting a deep crimson aura.
The pool was filled with a liquid resembling lava.
A scorching, life-filled aura continuously emanated from the liquid.
"Master, it's Nirvana Liquid, so much Nirvana Liquid!" Little Red flapped its wings continuously in the air, its expression filled with excitement.
I can cultivate here for a while, Jiang Li pondered for a moment.
After days of battles and consuming numerous spirit pills and herbs, Jiang Li's realm had reached the limit of the eighth level of the Spirit River realm.
If he were to cultivate with this Nirvana Liquid, not only could the third level of the [Phoenix Nirvana Sutra] be mastered, but his cultivation might also break through.
Nirvana Liquid not only contained an immense essence of life but also possessed incredibly pure and potent spiritual energy, making it highly effective for cultivation.
"Let's cultivate here for a day before entering the Taiyin Secret Realm!" Jiang Li said slowly.
