C32 grain stone

The inheritance of the map of the eight mountains was already imprinted in Yang Junshan's mind. Before leaving the cave, Yang Junshan used an iron arrow to destroy the eight murals on the stone wall. Only the little tiger cub behind him tilted its head and looked at Yang Junshan with doubt in its eyes, as if it didn't know why Yang Junshan would do such a thing.

After the eight murals were destroyed, the faint demonic qi that had been emitting from the stone wall also disappeared. Yang Junshan had eliminated the source of the disaster for Mengyu County.

Although Yang Junshan had not fully recovered, his success in advancing to the Immortal Summoning stage still caused his strength to greatly increase. Among all the young cultivators that went into the mountain to hunt for immortal spirits, Yang Junshan's strength could be said to be invincible.

It was a pity that Yang Junshan was only left with this large carved bow and a pot of half-iron arrows. When he met Zhang Yuiming and the others, he could only run away.

After putting the cub back into his backpack, Yang Junshan who came out of the cave could feel the different feelings brought about by the increase of his cultivation level. It seemed that his vision and hearing had become clearer, and he could easily sense the faint spiritual energy in the surroundings.

Retrieving the traces of Zhang Yueming's group from the col, Yang Junshan tried to catch up to them. Unfortunately, he lost them by the side of a mountain stream after half a day.

After that, Yang Junshan tried to search for the bear's nest on his own. Unfortunately, without any trace to follow, wanting to find the bear's nest in the middle of Hundred Sparrow Mountain was no different than searching for a needle in a haystack. Although Yang Junshan felt that it was a pity, he had no choice but to give up in the end.

The mountain tiger and the Treading Bear had already started their demonic transformation. Since the mountain tiger's nest had a demon clan inheritance and a source of demonic energy, did that mean that the Treading Bear's nest also had a similar inheritance?

Whether it was to find the Treading Bear's inheritance or to destroy the possible source of demonic energy, Yang Junshan needed to find the nest of the Treading Bear. Unfortunately, Yang Junshan couldn't explain this matter to others, and it was even more impossible to make everyone know about the demonic clan's inheritance.

The Treadmill Bear's den couldn't be found, but Yang Junshan was surprised to find a nest of Mountain Drill Rats. At most, they could be considered low-rank beasts, but they didn't produce any immortal spirits, so there was a possibility of finding a low-rank immortal spirit called "food stone" in the rat's nest.

During the process of collecting food, they would rely on their instincts to transport some foods rich in spirit energy to their nests for storage. Over time, the spirit energy essence in these foods began to gather and condense, forming a green stone-like crystal, which was the low-grade spirit energy 'grain stone'.

However, it was not easy to successfully nurture this kind of low-grade immortal spirit. First, one needed to store enough food in the mountain rat's nest, and also plenty of species, and at the same time, plenty of time. Finally, all of these foods were rich in spiritual energy.

These immortal spirits were mostly found in rat nests that had been passed down for several generations. There were old nests that had been discovered for a long time, and some nests that had been discovered could have a hundred years of history.

In Yang Junshan's opinion, this nest of mountain rats should be a group of rats that had been living in the same nest for at most a few years. It wouldn't be easy for them to give birth to an immortal spirit.

However, since he had already found the trail, he had to chase after it no matter what. He was afraid of anything that might turn out wrong.

Although they were also vicious beasts, their courage was very small. However, if they were forced into a corner, it would be troublesome if there were a group of ten or even a dozen Mountain Drill.

After finding a cave that was made by a mountain rat, Yang Junshan looked around and soon found a few more that could be used by mountain rats. However, Yang Junshan was only there to find immortal spirits, not to capture all the mountain rats in one fell swoop.

He used a few rat holes to determine the approximate location of the lair, and then started to dig along a rat hole closest to the lair. He used several rat holes to determine the approximate location of the lair, and then started to dig along a rat hole closest to the lair.

A bloody smell spread out, and soon there was a disturbance in the mountain rats' nest. At this time, it could be seen that Yang Junshan had not blocked all the rat holes.

While Yang Junshan continued digging, he looked around to see the Mountain Drill, which had escaped from the holes of the surrounding rats. He realized that these Mountain Drill were all very fat, which was a good sign.

The Mountain Drill was a type of berserk beast that had a strong sense of danger. Their instinct to store food prompted them to just barely survive even without a safe storage of food.

Therefore, in order to determine if a nest of Mountain Drill was rich enough to store food, one just needed to see whether the nest of Mountain Drill was fat enough. If the nest of Mountain Drill was strong enough to eat, then the food in the nest would be rich enough to make them feel at ease, and the richer the food, the higher the chances of them condensing immortal spirit were.

After the Mountain Drill realized that the danger had disappeared, it returned. Creaking noises came from all around Yang Junshan in an attempt to intimidate the person who was destroying its home. However, they didn't have the courage to attack Yang Junshan together.

Finally, with the collapse of a layer of soil, a three-foot-tall nest appeared in front of Yang Junshan. Various kinds of food were stored inside the nest. Yang Junshan estimated that there were at least two stones inside.

Ignoring the clamoring of the dozen Mountain Drill, Yang Junshan used the Iron Feather Arrow to dig through the pile of food in front of him and started to use the low-grade immortal spirit.

As the pile of food was unearthed, Yang Junshan's face became more and more disappointed. He knew that even after changing this pile of food into a different place, he still couldn't find any hope.

What a pity!

Although Yang Junshan knew that the chances were low, he still felt a bit of regret. He casually threw the arrow to the ground, but unexpectedly, the arrow directly sunk into the ground more than a foot deep.

Yang Junshan was surprised. [It can't be that my strength has increased so much after my cultivation!]

Stretching out his foot towards the ground, a foot-long storage nest appeared in front of Yang Junshan's eyes as the soil collapsed. The clamoring rats in the surrounding area all stopped at once.

It turned out to be a double lair. This group of mice were really smart!

Yang Junshan praised, but he didn't hesitate to search the lower layer of the nest for food. Soon, he found something in his hand, rolling out from a pile of plant seeds, roots, and nuts.

The jade-green crystal was round, and as it continued to roll across the ground, the light it contained began to circulate. This was the low grade immortal grain stone that was made from the essence of numerous plants.

The surrounding mice did not expect that the person in front of them was not here for their food. They watched as Yang Junshan turned around to leave, and the food in his nest that had been destroyed was not the least bit missing. The rats immediately swarmed back into their nest and began to create a new nest under their nest, and then moved all the food into their nest to store.

Looking at the sky, there was still more than half a day left before the Hundred Sparrow Mountain compound closed. Yang Junshan weighed the nuts in his hand that he fished out from the rat's nest, thinking that he should have enough time to use them. Perhaps he should look around, if he was lucky, he might be able to find the bush where the mice gathered these nuts.

The nut in Yang Junshan's hand was a seed formed from a shrub. The nut itself was just a normal fruit, but the place where this shrub grew was most likely accompanied by a fungus.

This kind of mushroom wasn't immortal, but it was a type of spiritual herb that could be used to refine medicinal pills, and even magic pills. Yang Junshan knew that this was a magic pill that was very effective for middle level mortals, and the main ingredient used to refine it was this kind of mushroom.

Yang Junshan knew nothing about alchemy, but these herbs could be exchanged for jade coins.

The Hundred Sparrow Mountain was vast enough. Although it wasn't a spirit grass plantation, there were many spirit grasses growing there. In the past, when young cultivators entered the Hundred Sparrow Mountain to hunt for immortal spirits, they would often gather some spirit grasses and the like, which could be considered as an additional harvest.

However, perhaps it was because Yang Junshan was too lucky this time, but he didn't find a single herb in the Hundred Bird Mountain these days. Otherwise, with Yang Junshan's 100 years of experience, he wouldn't have missed it if he encountered one.

Now that he finally found a place that could contain spiritual herbs, Yang Junshan naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to harvest more.

However, when Yang Junshan turned a hill and saw a bush full of hope, an anxious shout came from afar, "Jingjing, run, those things are coming!"

Hearing this voice, it was Hao Zhuang from the same village. Who would have thought that since he was still alive, that Jingjing should be Xu Jing. The two of them were actually together!
