Look! There are four herb fields! The herbs inside are all extremely valuable! someone shouted.
Sure enough, surrounding the high platform were four separate herb fields, lush and verdant, shimmering with dazzling light and exuding a fragrant aroma.
There are two herbs in that field that look very peculiar! They seem to resemble Half-Immortal Medicines! Among the four fields, each contains two Half-Immortal Medicines! one after another, people exclaimed in amazement, their eyes red with greed, itching to immediately pluck those Half-Immortal Medicines!
These were Half-Immortal Medicines, priceless treasures that would make even a Heavenly Emperor covetous if they came here!
Indeed, within the four herb fields surrounding the platform, there were two uniquely shaped, crystalline-clear herbs each, with verdant leaves cradling the immortal buds, brilliant and dazzling.
I never expected there to be eight Half-Immortal Medicines here! But with so many experts gathered, given my strength, it's almost impossible for me to seize them, Ye Yunfei thought, somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Nearly half of the Eastern Barrens' top experts were here. Although Ye Yunfei had various hidden cards up his sleeve, he wasn't confident about snatching those eight Half-Immortal Medicines in this situation.
At that moment, many experts stared at the eight Half-Immortal Medicines, their mouths practically watering.
Moreover, besides those eight Half-Immortal Medicines, the four fields contained many other herbs of astonishing value.
Swish!
Finally, an expert couldn't restrain himself. Using a strange, swift movement technique that made him as insubstantial as a wisp of mist, he silently shot towards one of the herb fields.
But every single person here was a powerhouse with formidable perception. Seeing someone make a move, none wanted to be left behind. One by one, they unleashed their movement techniques and rushed towards the four fields. In an instant, a fierce fight broke out.
Thump, thump...
Chaos erupted in this space as nearly all the powerhouses joined the fray. They either summoned their magic treasures or unleashed powerful techniques and martial skills, madly scrambling for the eight Half-Immortal Medicines.
The Primordial Heterogeneous Race and those Flying Sky Yin Monkeys also joined the fight.
Since only top experts participated in the scramble, those with insufficient strength could only watch helplessly. The scene was far too chaotic. Every single move unleashed by these top powerhouses contained terrifying might. Anyone with insufficient strength charging forward would be throwing their life away.
Wait! There's something wrong with those eight Half-Immortal Medicines! Ye Yunfei, who had initially intended to join the scramble, suddenly had a thought. He noticed that while the Half-Immortal Medicines looked resplendent with immortal radiance and emitted an extraordinary fragrance on the surface, they were lacking something substantial.
Half-Immortal Medicines were exceedingly rare in the world. The experts of the Eastern Barrens had only heard of them or seen them in ancient texts, never coming into actual contact with one.
Ye Yunfei was different. He had possessed a Half-Immortal Medicine before and had even ingested and refined it. It could be said that, among everyone present in this ancient fortress, Ye Yunfei possessed the deepest and most accurate understanding of Half-Immortal Medicines.
So, all the essence of these eight Half-Immortal Medicines has long been drained by someone using a special method! Only an empty husk remains—all show and no substance. They have little medicinal value left. The value of the other herbs is actually higher, Ye Yunfei quickly realized.
Ah...
At this moment, people were already losing their lives over the scramble for the Half-Immortal Medicines. In such a frenzied battle, these experts no longer held back. Apart from their own faction members, they showed no mercy to others, striking with full force from the outset.
The attacks of the Primordial Heterogeneous Race and the Flying Sky Yin Monkeys were especially ruthless and cruel. Several Eastern Barrens experts had their skull caps ripped off by the eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys, their brains completely sucked out!
Lü Yugang, Heavenly Thunder Chan Master, Tiansha Chan Master, the Old Clan Leader of the Mermaid Clan, and the others also charged forward to grab the Half-Immortal Medicines. These few were relatively united, sticking together, covering for one another to form a small team. Therefore, they suffered no casualties and quickly approached one herb field, preparing to collect the two Half-Immortal Medicines within.
However, a large group of experts were eyeing these two Half-Immortal Medicines, making it difficult to secure them.
Respected seniors, ignore those Half-Immortal Medicines. They have already lost their efficacy; grabbing them will only yield an empty shell. Go for the other herbs—their value is higher! Ye Yunfei transmitted to Lü Yugang and the others via Sound Transmission.
These Half-Immortal Medicines have lost their efficacy? Lü Yugang and the others were taken aback.
Yes. Believe me, Ye Yunfei replied.
Alright, Young Master Su. I trust you! Without much deliberation, the Old Clan Leader of the Mermaid Clan turned and charged towards the other herbs, beginning to collect them.
Next, Lü Yugang, Heavenly Thunder Chan Master, Tiansha Chan Master, and the others also chose to trust Ye Yunfei. They had spent some time with Ye Yunfei and knew he was no ordinary person and wouldn't make baseless claims.
Thus, Lü Yugang and his group stopped participating in the scramble for the Half-Immortal Medicines and began harvesting the other herbs.
Since everyone else was madly scrambling for the Half-Immortal Medicines, Lü Yugang's group encountered absolutely no interference at all.
Haha... I've grabbed a Half-Immortal Medicine! In the intense melee, a mid-level Dao Origin Realm expert utilized a strange movement technique and, taking advantage of the others' inattention, snatched up a Half-Immortal Medicine. Overcome with excitement, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Boom!
A thick, giant tail continuously expanded, rolling forth like a mountain range, directly smacking that expert away. A member of the Primordial Heterogeneous Race had attacked! While swatting the expert away, the Heterogeneous Race member reached out and snatched the Half-Immortal Medicine.
No! The expert's body was battered and broken, severely injured, and the Half-Immortal Medicine he had grasped was now stolen. He was utterly unwilling.
The Heterogeneous Race member who had seized the Half-Immortal Medicine was thrilled. But the very next moment, the Half-Immortal Medicine in his hand underwent a change. Originally radiant with immortal light, its luster dimmed drastically in the blink of an eye, then it began to rot. Within two breaths, it turned into a wisp of flying ash, scattering with the wind.
What's going on? The surrounding people watched dumbfounded.
Haha... I've snatched a Half-Immortal Medicine! At that moment, the Grand Supreme Elder of the Cangyan Sacred Sect, with the cooperation of other Cangyan Sacred Sect experts, also secured a Half-Immortal Medicine and laughed wildly in excitement.
Yet, the very next moment, he was horrified to find the Half-Immortal Medicine he had worked so hard to obtain beginning to rot, then turning to flying ash.
Young Master Su was right! Those Half-Immortal Medicines have lost their efficacy; they are mere shells! Lü Yugang and the others silently marveled upon seeing this.
By now, Lü Yugang's group had already collected over half of the other herbs from the four fields. Their harvest was tremendous!
Come, let's go up and take a look at that stone coffin! Ye Yunfei transmitted to Lü Yugang's group via Sound Transmission. Then, he turned and rushed towards the high platform.
These Half-Immortal Medicines have had their essence drained; only hollow shells remain. There's no need to fight over them. Let's ascend the platform and open the Nine-Life Immortal Coffin! No sooner had Ye Yunfei begun to move than others had the same thought. They turned one after another and rushed towards the high platform, stepping onto its jade steps.
Crack...
The moment everyone set foot on the jade steps, they sensed an endless, terrifying pressure descending from above, crushing down upon their bodies. The pain was intense, their very bones groaning.
Moreover, this terrifying pressure didn't only affect their physical bodies; it also exerted a massive suppressing force on their Soul Bodies!
Mysterious restrictions exist on this platform, forbidding ascent! someone shouted.
There is immortal qi here, and there were Half-Immortal Medicines! That Nine-Life Immortal Coffin most likely contains immortal fate! With immortal fate before us, what do some restrictions matter? Charge up! someone yelled, braving the immense pressure to climb step by step.
Young Master Su, stay close to me. Let's climb up together! the Old Clan Leader of the Mermaid Clan said to Ye Yunfei. He was worried that Ye Yunfei's cultivation level might not be high enough to withstand the restricting pressure of the platform.
Alright, Ye Yunfei nodded.
At this moment, a Primordial Heterogeneous Race member not far away suddenly fixed its gaze on Ye Yunfei. Human, I've always felt your aura is somewhat familiar! Have you been to the Northern Frost Ancient Mining Area?
Almost simultaneously, a Flying Sky Yin Monkey in the distance abruptly turned its head, its sinister gaze sweeping towards Ye Yunfei.
