318: Obtain Yuanling Ginseng

"Revered Master." Seeing Shen Xinyi's arrival, Yang Lingchen bowed.

Shen Xinyi walked in front of Zhong Mingchen, circled around him once, and then looked at Yang Lingchen, asking doubtfully, "Did you really beat this Zhong Mingchen up?"

She truly couldn't believe that someone at the Ninth Layer of Illusion God Realm could actually break the limbs of Zhong Mingchen, who was at the ninth layer of the Heavenly God Realm.

"It was indeed this Disciple who did it," Yang Lingchen said.

"Did you use some underhanded methods?" Shen Xinyi asked.

"Does... does a sneak attack count?" Yang Lingchen laughed awkwardly.

"A sneak attack certainly doesn't count as underhanded," Shen Xinyi said.

Normally, even if a powerhouse at the ninth layer of the Heavenly God Realm stood there without moving, it would be impossible for a Phantom God Realm Cultivator to break their defense.

"Aside from a sneak attack, this Disciple truly didn't use any other underhanded means," Yang Lingchen said.

"Fine, it's nothing then. Go on and get busy!"

Shen Xinyi waved her hand, signaling that Yang Lingchen could leave.

"Thank you, Revered Master."

Yang Lingchen went back to the Mission Hall, took on a few more tasks to hunt Yao Beasts, and then hurriedly left the Heavenly God Palace.

"Xinyi girl, this Disciple of yours is truly a freak!" Huangfu Sheng laughed.

"Uncle Huangfu, I only took this guy in for fun because I saw his talent was decent. I didn't expect his ability to challenge higher levels would be so perverted." Shen Xinyi had only taken Yang Lingchen as a Disciple because she had nothing better to do at the time.

"Xinyi girl, how about you let me have this boy?" Huangfu Sheng stroked his beard and laughed.

"Uncle Huangfu, you're dreaming. This is my first Disciple, how could I give him to you?"

After Shen Xinyi finished speaking, she left the Mission Hall, leaving behind a regretful Huangfu Sheng.

"That kid is too exaggerated, isn't he?"

"Yeah! Could he be the legendary Invincible Level Cultivator?"

"I always thought being able to challenge across one minor Realm was already a peerless Prodigy. I didn't think there was such a pervert in this world."

For a moment, the entire Mission Hall was buzzing with discussion... The Heavenly God Palace was located on the edge of the Heavenly God Mountain Range, so Disciples of the Heavenly God Palace would choose the Heavenly God Mountain Range for tasks and training.

The Heavenly God Mountain Range was the largest mountain range in the Heavenly God Realm, occupying half of its area. Rumor had it that deep within the Heavenly God Mountain Range, there was a mysterious Yao Beast Kingdom, and the leader of this kingdom had a cultivation level that had reached the Peak of the Dao God Realm.

Therefore, even the Heavenly God Realm Master did not dare to easily enter the deepest parts of the Heavenly God Mountain Range.

Since Yang Lingchen was a new Disciple, he could receive a free map of the Heavenly God Mountain Range when taking tasks.

Several Forbidden Grounds were marked on this map, areas where humans were forbidden to set foot.

Leaving the Heavenly God Palace, Yang Lingchen plunged into the Heavenly God Mountain Range.

According to the instructions on the mission token, he knew which area had Shadow Eagles.

After entering the Heavenly God Mountain Range, Yang Lingchen's concentration reached a high level as he cautiously walked deeper into the mountains.

The Heavenly God Mountain Range was different from other mountain ranges; the Yao Beasts here were like a regular army. Humans could hunt Yao Beasts, but Yao Beasts also wanted to hunt humans. However, both sides had a red line: humans would not easily enter the depths of the Heavenly God Mountain Range, and Yao Beasts generally would not randomly attack human territory. It was as if both sides were mutually restrained, hunting each other only on the outskirts of the mountain range.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

After seven days of hunting, Yang Lingchen had completed all his tasks except for the Shadow Eagle.

On this day, Yang Lingchen quietly lurked near the Shadow Eagle's nest. After several days of observation, he found that he had completely mastered the Shadow Eagle's habits.

What surprised him even more was that next to the Shadow Eagle's nest, there was actually a stalk of yuanling ginseng.

yuanling ginseng was an extremely rare Spirit Treasure in the world. If a Void God Realm Cultivator consumed it, their cultivation level would immediately increase by one minor Realm.

And if a Heavenly God Realm Cultivator consumed it, they could directly increase their level by three minor Realms.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was hiding in the thick bushes. He suppressed his aura and remained motionless, waiting for the Shadow Eagle to pass by so he could kill it in one blow.

Shadow Eagles were cruel by nature and extremely alert. Generally, before leaving their nest, they would carefully observe the surroundings.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Yang Lingchen was getting a bit impatient, the Shadow Eagle finally left its nest.

He saw it flapping its massive wingspan, rapidly flying towards Yang Lingchen's direction.

In the bushes, Yang Lingchen's eyes were fixed on the Shadow Eagle while he silently counted in his heart:

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

"Kill!" At that moment, Yang Lingchen suddenly soared into the sky, striking out with a high-speed sword strike towards the Shadow Eagle in mid-air.

"Awoo...!"

Facing the sudden attack from Yang Lingchen, the Shadow Eagle let out a sharp cry, and its pair of sharp talons instantly grabbed towards Yang Lingchen's battle sword.

The Shadow Eagle's talons were incredibly sharp. If an ordinary Heavenly God Realm powerhouse were hit once, they would be crippled if not dead.

"Qiang...!"

Yang Lingchen's heavy sword strike only left a shallow mark on the Shadow Eagle's talons.

Failing to hit with one strike, Yang Lingchen leaped up again, his figure turning into an afterimage as he swung his sword directly at the Shadow Eagle's neck.

The Shadow Eagle's ferocity was also provoked. It continuously flapped its huge wings, striking at Yang Lingchen, while its incredibly sharp talons directly met Yang Lingchen's battle sword.

For a time, one man and one beast fought a bloody battle in the mountains. As time passed, the Shadow Eagle even gained the upper hand.

Yang Lingchen hadn't expected this Shadow Eagle's strength to be so terrifying, but he didn't panic.

In the blink of an eye, the man and beast exchanged hundreds of moves.

Just then, Yang Lingchen caught an opportunity. At the moment he was about to collide with the Shadow Eagle, he unleashed a Soul Devouring Slash.

"Swish...!"

In the split second the Shadow Eagle fell into a daze, Yang Lingchen's blade fell, instantly severing the Shadow Eagle's head.

After dealing with the Shadow Eagle, Yang Lingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he collected the Shadow Eagle's inner core and also put the yuanling ginseng from beside the Shadow Eagle's nest into the haotian jade space.

"Rustle... rustle... rustle...!"

Just then, a rustling sound came from the distance, and then a handsome young man with an upright posture and a cultivation level at the fifth layer of the Void God Realm suddenly appeared before Yang Lingchen.

The upright young man scanned Yang Lingchen with a sharp gaze and said coldly, "Did you kill the Shadow Eagle?"

"No... no... I didn't kill it. Senior Brother, with my cultivation level, how could I possibly kill a Shadow Eagle?" Yang Lingchen quickly shook his head.

"Hand over the yuanling ginseng, and for the sake of being fellow Disciples, This Young Master will spare your life." The young man's eyes were sharp, as if they could see through people, as he stared coldly at Yang Lingchen.

"Yuan... ling ginseng? I truly haven't seen it. I only just heard the sound of fighting and rushed over."

Yang Lingchen feigned a puzzled look. Since the yuanling ginseng was already in his hands, he naturally wouldn't give it up easily, even if the opponent was a super powerhouse at the fifth layer of the Void God Realm.

"Since you can't produce the yuanling ginseng, then you can go to hell!" A thick killing intent flashed through the young man's eyes. Even if he killed the wrong person, he didn't want to let go of anyone who might have taken the yuanling ginseng.

Just then, Yang Lingchen suddenly threw out several explosive poison pills, and then his figure instantly shot off into the distance.
