"Look, Miao Xiaofei is also here!"
Next, those Miao Clan disciples discovered Xiao Fei following behind Ye Yunfei, pointing at her and shouting.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei's large hand had already grabbed hold of that stalk of Three-Life Fire Essence Grass.
Rumble...
That stalk of Three-Life Fire Essence Grass immediately erupted with terrifying energy, struggling with all its might. Moreover, from its gigantic form, it shot out numerous fire arrows composed of flames, countless and dense, shooting towards Ye Yunfei like a torrential rainstorm.
However, when those fire arrows struck Ye Yunfei's body, aside from creating a series of clanging sounds, they caused him absolutely no harm!
In fact, the power of these fire arrows was extremely strong. Those Half-Emperor experts whose physical body quality wasn't sufficiently tough wouldn't dare to directly withstand such a violent barrage of arrows. But Ye Yunfei's physical body quality was too formidable; he simply wasn't afraid.
"Be mine!"
Ye Yunfei's palm suddenly exerted force, gripping the Three-Life Fire Essence Grass fiercely. Not only did he utilize powerful physical strength, but the vast spiritual energy within his body also surged forth to suppress the grass.
Ye Yunfei was currently an Initial Half-Emperor, and his spiritual energy was extremely powerful, not much weaker than his physical strength.
Under the combined suppression of Ye Yunfei's physical power and spiritual energy, the Three-Life Fire Essence Grass finally lacked the strength to resist and was forcibly sealed by Ye Yunfei.
"Xiao Fei, I will now pass on a technique to you. Follow the technique's guidance and directly swallow this Three-Life Fire Essence Grass into your body, then refine it immediately!"
Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to Xiao Fei.
Then Ye Yunfei immediately sent a strand of Soul Power information into Xiao Fei's soul sea. This was a high-level technique specifically for refining fire-attribute energy treasures; its effects were excellent.
"Refine it here?"
Xiao Fei was taken aback.
Objectively speaking, this environment wasn't particularly suitable for refining or cultivating.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one can lay a finger on you!"
Ye Yunfei replied via Sound Transmission.
It was ridiculous; Ye Yunfei's own strength allowed him to easily fight a dozen or so Half-Emperor experts, and within the Heavenly Dao Tower, he had a hundred Half-Emperor experts. With such power, what was there to fear?
"Okay!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Xiao Fei immediately nodded.
She naturally had absolute trust in Ye Yunfei.
"Open your mouth!"
Ye Yunfei commanded lightly.
Xiao Fei immediately opened her small mouth.
Ye Yunfei stuffed the stalk of Three-Life Fire Essence Grass into Xiao Fei's mouth. The grass had already been sealed by Ye Yunfei, and he could shrink it at will.
Xiao Fei immediately began circulating the technique Ye Yunfei had just taught her, then started refining the Three-Life Fire Essence Grass.
"Damn it!
He captured one of the Three-Life Fire Essence Grass!"
Seeing this scene, the Miao Clan disciples grew somewhat anxious, appearing extremely unwilling.
But by now, these Miao Clan disciples could also see that Ye Yunfei's strength definitely far surpassed theirs, so none of them dared to come forward and stop him.
It was ridiculous; so many of them were attacking a single Three-Life Fire Essence Grass and still hadn't subdued it, while Ye Yunfei, fighting alone, had suppressed and captured a stalk in mere moments. The disparity was too great, and these Miao Clan disciples could clearly see it.
"Everyone, let's push on!
Strive to collect these Three-Life Fire Essence Grass as soon as possible!"
One of the men shouted.
Thus, the Miao Clan disciples combined their efforts once again, continuing to attack the particular Three-Life Fire Essence Grass they had been targeting.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei darted towards another stalk of Three-Life Fire Essence Grass and launched his attack.
Moments later, this stalk was also successfully collected by Ye Yunfei.
"Mother, you will refine this one!"
Ye Yunfei said to Miao Ziqiong.
"Alright."
Miao Ziqiong nodded.
So Ye Yunfei passed on the same technique to Miao Ziqiong, then stuffed the stalk into her mouth.
And so, both Xiao Fei and Miao Ziqiong sat cross-legged within the valley, beginning to focus on refining the Three-Life Fire Essence Grass within their bodies.
Ye Yunfei then charged towards the other stalks of Three-Life Fire Essence Grass.
"Brother Situ, do you need this Three-Life Fire Essence Grass?"
Ye Yunfei asked Situ Kong'er.
After all, Situ Kong'er had been of great help during this period. It wasn't right for Ye Yunfei to bring him along treasure hunting and not share any treasures.
"Brother Ye, this Fire Essence Grass holds immense benefits for Madam and Xiao Fei, but the benefits for my cultivation aren't that great.
I don't need it.
Don't worry, if I encounter treasures that catch my eye, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Situ Kong'er said with a smile.
"Very well, Brother Situ. If you encounter any treasures you want, just say the word."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Haha, Brother Ye, what's the relationship between us? Do we need to be so polite?"
Situ Kong'er laughed heartily.
"Indeed. Given our relationship, there's no need for courtesy."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei's movements didn't stop. He continued collecting the Three-Life Fire Essence Grass. After a while, Ye Yunfei had gathered over twenty stalks in total!
These over twenty stalks were evenly divided between Xiao Fei and Miao Ziqiong for refining.
By now, roughly five or six stalks of Three-Life Fire Essence Grass remained within the valley.
"Damn it, how is this guy's strength so terrifying!
If things continue like this, all the Three-Life Fire Essence Grass in this valley will be taken by him!"
The Miao Clan disciples were extremely unwilling.
But having personally witnessed Ye Yunfei forcibly subdue stalk after stalk with brute force, they had long been intimidated by his terrifying strength. They didn't dare to provoke Ye Yunfei; they didn't even dare to look him directly in the eye.
Just as Ye Yunfei was about to continue collecting the remaining few stalks of Three-Life Fire Essence Grass, his peripheral vision faintly caught sight of an extremely thin flame flickering rapidly, darting out of the valley along a very concealed trajectory.
Ye Yunfei immediately turned to look, while simultaneously releasing his Soul Power, sensing that flame in an instant.
"That's the Three Calamity Heavenly Flame!"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but cry out in excitement.
The Three Calamity Heavenly Flame was a type of heavenly fire recorded in the Heavenly Fire Ranking, extremely rare.
In his previous life, Ye Yunfei had never managed to find this Three Calamity Heavenly Flame; he never thought he'd have a chance to encounter it in this life.
"I understand now. The reason there are so many Three-Life Fire Essence Grass in this valley is primarily because of this Three Calamity Heavenly Flame!
This Three Calamity Heavenly Flame lay dormant within this valley for a long time, altering the valley's energy and laws. Moreover, the aura released by the flame, accumulating over time and evolving, gave birth to these rare Three-Life Fire Essence Grass."
Ye Yunfei speculated internally, roughly understanding the situation of this valley.
"I must obtain this Three Calamity Heavenly Flame.
After obtaining it, my Anomalous Fire Technique will definitely surge!"
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed as he gave chase towards the Three Calamity Heavenly Flame.
However, before Ye Yunfei could catch up...
Whoosh...
Eight black shadows flashed as eight creatures entirely wrapped in black robes abruptly appeared, surrounding the Three Calamity Heavenly Flame.
"Creatures of the Dark Faction!
And they are all Half-Emperor level experts!
How could Dark Faction creatures appear within the Vermilion Bird Divine Grotto?"
With a single glance, Ye Yunfei recognized that those eight creatures all belonged to the Dark Faction, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
