Chapter 964 Zhan Yunliang's Plan
store these items. However, the best things were naturally kept for himself. While he wasn't proficient in this field, he could judge the importance of the ghost clan's artifacts based on the strengt..."No rush, we already have four people. While we're not afraid of the eight-legged ox beast now, it's best to avoid confrontation if possible. Otherwise, we'll inevitably have a fierce battle. Within the territory of that ox beast, there are a few clumps of Bixiang spirit grass, about four thousand years old. Let's go try our luck first. If we can successfully harvest these spirit grasses, it would be best. If not, if we really have to fight, we'll join forces to kill the eight-legged ox beast."
Zhan Yunliang spoke in a low voice.
"Bi Xiao Lingcao" Lu Xia Tian's face showed a hint of surprise. This spirit herb was the main ingredient for refining Bi Xiao Huan Ying Dan. At least a thousand years old would be needed to qualify as medicine, and it had almost disappeared from the outside world. Lu Xia Tian had been collecting spiritual seeds everywhere, and he couldn't even remember how many kinds of spirit herbs there were inside his barrier, but he hadn't managed to collect this Bi Xiao Lingcao.
The so-called Bi Xiao Returning Infant Pill is an elixir of the highest grade that can repair the damage to the Nascent Soul after it has been injured. The Nascent Soul cultivator's abilities are basically all concentrated in their Nascent Soul. If the Nascent Soul is damaged, it is extremely difficult to fully recover. However, this pill can heal its own injuries within a very short period of time.
While Lady Hua Ying was moved to tears, on the other hand, Luo Qing remained with a cold face, as if her Dao heart had become a piece of thousand-year-old ice, unaffected by external things.
“Yes, if it weren't for the Bi Xiao Ling Cao, I wouldn't easily touch a tiger's butt or provoke the bad luck of an eight-legged demon ox. But let me state this upfront: this Bi Xiao Ling Cao was discovered by me first, and all of you followed me in. When we collect the Bi Xiao Ling Cao later, I will have priority over it. Besides the share everyone gets, any extras will also be prioritized by me.” Jan Yunliang said.
"Alright, as long as everyone has a share, it doesn't matter who gets the top spot."
Lu Xia Tian nodded, secretly thinking that although this Zhan Yun Liang was hiding his identity, if he didn't have any malicious intentions, he wasn't someone Lu Xia Tian couldn't tolerate. Of course, if the other party harbored ill intentions, then they would naturally become mortal enemies.
Several people, led by Zhan Yunliang, carefully moved through a patch of grass. As Zhan Yunliang had said, the Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast was extremely sensitive to human cultivators' mana and could detect even the slightest movement. Therefore, they all forwent flying and opted to walk instead. Even on foot, their speed was incredibly fast.
“Qiu Guang Bi Yang Shi!” After walking for a while, Hua Ying Fu ren saw on a hillside several pieces of blue-brown spirit ore. The edges of the ore were surrounded by a patch of blue-brown vines. Her eyes lit up at once; the spiritual objects in this mysterious place were certainly not ordinary.
Hua Yingfu's expression moved, and she was about to go to Qiguang's closed sun stone.
"Don't go, that blue vine is incredibly powerful. Even a Yuan Ying cultivator, once entangled, cannot escape. Otherwise, do you think I would leave those spirit mine stones untouched Among those who used to travel with me, two perished beneath this blue vine." James Yunliang said hurriedly.
“What So powerful” Hua Ying’s wife was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat. She thought to herself that she had been blinded by greed just now. A few spirit ore stones were so valuable, how could Zhan Yunliang have no reaction at all.
As they were speaking, a demon hawk with a wingspan of ten feet landed on the patch of blue vines. Several feet above the ground, the vines suddenly surged, engulfing the demon hawk. Before the demon hawk could even struggle, it was tightly wrapped by a mass of blue vines. After several shrill screams, its body was torn into dozens of pieces.
Mrs. Hua Ying was instantly drenched in cold sweat. She looked at Zhan Yunliang with a grateful expression in her eyes. If it hadn't been for Zhan Yunliang's reminder just now, although her strength was much greater than that of the ninth-level demon hawk, she probably wouldn't have fared much better.
Lu Xia Tian was secretly on guard in his heart. It seemed that this Zhan Yun Liang was quite familiar with the situation here.
"Moo" A bellow of a cow rang out again, Luo Qing and Madam Hua Ying once again showed a look of apprehension, but this time the sound was not loud, only causing the two to feel a slight dizziness, without the intense feeling as before.
As everyone was astounded, a gigantic ox phantom, dozens of feet tall and with eight legs, rose from the mountaintop amidst clouds and mist, flying to mid-air. Sunlight converged upon the phantom, forming a unique spectacle in the air.
“Wow, I didn't expect to be so lucky this time. I actually ran into the Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast during its cultivation. As long as we don't disturb its cultivation, there won't be any other threats.” Zhan Yunliang’s eyes lit up with excitement.
"Let's go! Let's pick up the pace."

As a result, the group's pace quickened. They soon arrived at a valley, where mountains rose abruptly and trees of various species grew haphazardly, with occasional clusters of flowers scattered about. However, when Lu Xia Tian's gaze fell upon several stone pillars among the rocks, his eyes narrowed. These pillars resembled the legs of a giant cauldron, extremely concealed. If it weren't for this unusual state, Lu Xia Tian would likely have missed the oddity. Fortunately, a tiny mark on the collar of the person's clothing alerted Lu Xia Tian, and this formation bore a striking resemblance to that mark. It was no surprise then that Lu Xia Tian saw through it.
"The Nightbloom Spirit Grass is right here in this valley, let's go and get it." A look of anticipation crossed Zhan Yunliang's face. As the group entered the valley, a hint of a sneer crept onto his face in secret. The silver-haired youth beside him was wary of him, but no matter how careful he was, could he possibly guard against this grand formation
>
This large formation requires a sufficient number of cultivator Nascent Souls to be sacrificed in order to fully activate it. The eight-legged demon bull beast is also quite wary of itself, but it also enjoys eating human flesh, especially cultivators from the human race with higher levels of strength. The eight-legged demon bull beast likes them even more.
The formation in Zhan Yunliang's hands must be activated after absorbing the Nascent Soul of a cultivator. However, a cultivator's own Nascent Soul is extremely swift and difficult to capture. Once damaged, the absorbed Nascent Soul will significantly reduce the formation's effectiveness. Currently, Zhan Yunliang has only amassed enough power to activate the first layer of the formation. The formation consists of three layers. The first layer should be sufficient to prevent these three cultivators at the early Nascent Soul stage from escaping.
The Eight-Armed Demonic Bull Beast slaughtered the three Human cultivators. Within the formation, even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not break free.
That was the eight-legged demon ox beast. Jian Yunliang hesitated in his heart. On one hand, it took a lot of effort to gather three Nascent Soul cultivators, and using them up now felt a bit reluctant. But the materials on the eight-legged demon ox beast were extremely tempting to him.
Alright, let's deal with these three first. As for the eight-legged demon bull beast, we'll see how things go later.
Thinking of this, Zhan Yunliang's heart turned cold.

... A series of dense tremors echoed across the ground.
Huaying and Luocheng's faces changed simultaneously. Zhan Yunliang let out a hearty laugh, causing the Eight-Legged Demon Bull to make such a commotion precisely to draw everyone's attention away. Looking at the expressions of the three people, the effect was quite good. By the time they came to their senses, it would be too late.. No wonder the Shadow Scorpion King had retreated in fear when it appeared on the Bone Staircase.Lu Xia Tian’s inner Demon Suppressing Pagoda's Buddha light flickered, barely suppressing this surge o...
