"Yes, this is indeed the core region of Tianmu Shenjun's cultivation grotto. Next, I suggest we disperse and act separately, each seeking their own fortune. Also, take these Message Jade Slips. If you encounter danger, activate them immediately. I will sense it at once and rush to assist you. Remember, most of those who have entered this core region are strong experts from various major factions. Each one is incredibly powerful. You are relatively weak in comparison, so avoid conflict with anyone at all costs. If you encounter powerful individuals from those major factions, your only choice is to immediately avoid them. Dodge them if you can, because they might be able to kill you with a single encounter."
Ye Yunfei looked at the members of the Wanmu Ancestral Land and the Yang Family before him and spoke slowly.
Although the Wanmu Ancestral Land was a major faction with strong overall power, and among these Wanmu Ancestral Land members present were several ordinary Elders—some were even Fourth Level Sovereign Gods or even Fifth Level Greater Sovereign Gods—they all nodded repeatedly after hearing Ye Yunfei's words, showing no disagreement. They knew what Ye Yunfei said was the truth. Every single one who had managed to rely on their own strength to enter this core region was a true powerhouse from a major faction. In contrast, they had only come this far with Ye Yunfei's help, making their strength far inferior.
"Rest assured, Young Master Ye, we will be careful," an Elder of the Wanmu Ancestral Land replied.
"Good. Now, let's disperse and act separately. Let's each rely on our own luck as we explore and seek treasures here," Ye Yunfei declared.
The reason Ye Yunfei had gone back to bring the Yang Family and Wanmu Ancestral Land members into this core region was primarily because these two factions had helped him in the past. Of course, in the white maze region, Yang Feng had taken the initiative to invite Ye Yunfei to follow their group. It was that show of goodwill that made Ye Yunfei choose to help them in return. That was Ye Yunfei's nature.
"Young Master Ye, I'll take my leave now," Yang Feng said respectfully to Ye Yunfei. He then turned and left with the two Elders from his Yang Family.
"Everyone, remember to keep the Message Jade Slips Young Master Ye just gave us firmly in your palms. Activate them immediately if there's any danger. The three of us are the weakest. Without Young Master Ye's protection, we are simply not qualified to explore or seek treasures here," Yang Feng instructed the two Yang Family Elders after they had traveled some distance away.
The Wanmu Ancestral Land members also bid farewell to Ye Yunfei and headed in another direction.
"Young Master Ye, I want to stay with you," Zhou Wanqing said to Ye Yunfei. Her intuition told her that staying with Ye Yunfei was the best choice, and she also very much wished to stay by his side.
"Alright then," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Master, Miss Zhou seems to be clinging to you more and more. You might have quite a romance blossoming," Hu Miao said, laughing.
"Stop talking nonsense," Ye Yunfei glared at Hu Miao.
"Miss Zhou, let's go."
Ye Yunfei activated the Teleportation Token in his hand and performed a teleportation with Zhou Wanqing.
"It really was the most correct choice to follow Young Master Ye. He actually has a way to teleport here!" Zhou Wanqing was quite excited to see Ye Yunfei teleporting with her again.
"According to the map's record, there is a very high-grade medicinal herb garden here, growing many Greater Sovereign God-level medicinal herbs, and even some Chaos God-level herbs," Ye Yunfei thought to himself the next moment as his figure appeared high above a vast mountain range. He looked down at the mountainous terrain below.
Zhou Wanqing closely followed by Ye Yunfei's side.
"Chaos God-level medicinal herbs! That is indeed precious and shouldn't be missed!" Hun Lao was somewhat shocked upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Young Master Ye, is there treasure here?" Zhou Wanqing asked.
"Indeed. There are treasures here. Let's go check it out." Ye Yunfei nodded, then flashed down to land before a valley.
"There really is a medicinal herb garden inside! Every single plant is incredibly valuable!" the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately shouted excitedly.
Ye Yunfei strode forward into the valley, and Zhou Wanqing hurriedly followed. Soon, they were inside.
Within the valley was a vast, level plain. Near the end of the valley, there was a small stream. Beside the stream were several plots of medicinal herbs, all filled with various plants. Next to the herb gardens stood two thatched huts.
Ye Yunfei flashed to the end of the valley, a look of pleasant surprise appearing on his face as he gazed at the herbs.
All the plants in these few plots were Sovereign God-level medicinal herbs, with the majority being Greater Sovereign God-level ones. Ye Yunfei's gaze fell directly on the smallest plot among them. In the center of this plot, a small number of herbs emitted rolling divine radiance. Each plant exuded a shocking aura of energy.
"These are all Sovereign God-level medicinal herbs, many of them are Greater Sovereign Gods! Each one is of astonishing value!" After looking closely and recognizing the plants, Zhou Wanqing revealed an expression of shock and shouted excitedly.
"Young Master Ye, how did you know there was such a precious herb garden here? You are truly incredible, finding this place so quickly!" Zhou Wanqing said to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, let's start harvesting quickly! Don't worry, Young Master Ye, you found this place. I won't compete with you for them. I'll help you harvest," Zhou Wanqing added. After speaking, she wanted to step forward, but in an instant, a massive Formation materialized, enveloping all the herb plots ahead.
"Be careful, Miss Zhou. There is a high-level Formation here," Ye Yunfei spoke up.
"The level of this Formation is indeed very high. Its power is extremely frightening. I can barely stand," Zhou Wanqing faced the Formation pressure radiating from the array and immediately became unsteady on her feet, forced to retreat repeatedly.
"Miss Zhou, follow behind me. Watch where I step," Ye Yunfei told Zhou Wanqing.
After speaking, Ye Yunfei lifted his foot and walked forward. Taking just a few steps, he directly passed through the Formation ahead. Zhou Wanqing followed behind Ye Yunfei, carefully noting each of his footing points and following precisely.
"I've also passed through the Formation! I'm inside!" Zhou Wanqing walked several steps behind Ye Yunfei and then delightedly realized she was now standing inside the Formation's light barrier.
"Young Master Ye, this Formation is so high-level, yet you passed through it instantly! That's amazing!" Zhou Wanqing couldn't help but cry out in astonishment.
"That divine pupil of yours is quite useful. It saw through this Formation in an instant," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, my Formation skill was already quite high. With the aid of this divine pupil, I understood this Formation at a single glance just now. Of course, another reason is that this Formation was likely placed here by Tianmu Shenjun, and the pupil technique I obtained is also Tianmu Shenjun's legacy. That's why I could so effortlessly see through the key points of this Formation," Ye Yunfei nodded and replied.
"Alright, Miss Zhou, we can start harvesting these herbs now," Ye Yunfei said to Zhou Wanqing.
After speaking, Ye Yunfei reached out and grabbed. His palm continuously enlarged, instantly gathering a large patch of Greater Sovereign God-level herbs.
"First harvest those most precious Chaos God-level herbs. Acquiring such herbs outside is extremely difficult," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"These herbs seem to be the most valuable," Zhou Wanqing said at this moment, her gaze also landing on those Chaos God-level herbs. She wasn't an alchemist, and her experience and insight were not comparable to Ye Yunfei's. Although she knew these herbs must be extremely precious, she couldn't tell they belonged to the Chaos God-level grade.
Zhou Wanqing reached out to grab one of the Chaos God-level herbs.
However, a powerful surge of energy erupted instantly, and an energy-condensed circular shield enveloped that Chaos God-level herb.
Zhou Wanqing was sent flying backward by the energy shock.
"Be careful, Miss Zhou!"
Ye Yunfei waved his sleeve, directly cushioning Zhou Wanqing and gently placing her back on the ground.
"These herbs are especially precious. Each one has a corresponding spatial restriction protecting it. When attempts are made to harvest them, these spatial restrictions will produce repulsive energy and may even counterattack. Leave these herbs to me," Ye Yunfei said to Zhou Wanqing.
How could Chaos God-level herbs be simple? Creatures with insufficient strength simply didn't qualify to harvest them.
"Alright, Young Master Ye, you do it then. These herbs are too frightening," Zhou Wanqing immediately said.
Ye Yunfei suddenly reached out towards several patches of Chaos God-level herbs simultaneously, grabbing at them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The several Chaos God-level herbs erupted at the same time, their energies forming separate circular shields.
