Yi Feng carried a small bamboo basket down with the gorge.
While Wu Yonghong and the others hurried back to Pingjiang City as he had instructed.
"Heaven's Heart Reishi?"
After half a day's rush, Yi Feng finally found his target. He saw it growing alone on the sheer cliff face from afar.
Like a winter plum blossom blooming out of season, it stood out so distinctly!
Yi Feng put down his bamboo basket, took out a small shovel tucked in his waist, slapped his palms and climbed towards the cliff to pluck that Heaven's Heart Reishi.
Not far away.
A pitch-black crow was perched on an old vine-covered tree, with a large centipede crawling next to it.
There was something human-like in the eyes of the two animals.
"How's this Heaven's Heart Reishi?"
Suddenly, the crow spoke in a human tongue.
"I report to Master Hei Yu, this Heaven's Heart Reishi is ripe. We're just waiting for the Demon King to come harvest it."
At the same time, the centipede also spoke in a human tongue.
"Yes, the Demon King has been in closed-door cultivation these two days. He will come to harvest it himself after he finishes cultivating in two days." The crow said solemnly, "This Heaven's Heart Reishi is very important to the Demon King. You must guard it well and not let anything go wrong in these last two days."
"Yes, Master Hei Yu!" The centipede replied respectfully.
"Good!"
Seeing this, the crow nodded in satisfaction and subconsciously glanced at the Heaven's Heart Reishi.
"Caw!"
As soon as he looked, he was so shocked that his feathers almost fell off. Unbeknownst to them during their conversation, a human had already climbed up to the Heaven's Heart Reishi.
"Quick, stop that damned human!" The crow shouted loudly.
Hearing this, the centipede was also shocked.
Then it was extremely furious. Its innumerable feet clung onto the tree trunk as it charged swiftly towards the Heaven's Heart Reishi.
The crow was equally unwilling to fall behind. As a flying demonic beast, it was much faster than the centipede. It flapped its wings, crystalline coldness flashing from its sharp beak as it rushed straight at the human.
"What a fine thing!"
Yi Feng examined the Heaven's Heart Reishi before him, showing a satisfied smile. Just as he was about to pluck it, he noticed the crow charging right at him.
Yi Feng slightly tilted his head and easily dodged it.
"Huh?"
The crow was filled with disbelief. This human was just an ordinary mortal, yet he had evaded its attack so effortlessly?
Especially when it saw the human's palm already reaching the Heaven's Heart Reishi, the crow was immediately consumed with rage. Its wings spread wide, massive demonic power concentrating between its wings. With each flap, blasts of demonic energy surged towards Yi Feng.
"Damn pesky crow, scram!"
Yi Feng was extremely annoyed by the flapping crow. With a wave of his palm, he attempted to shoo it away.
"What?"
It was this wave of Yi Feng's palm that dispersed the massive blasts. The crow was filled with deep disbelief.
This is...
A tough opponent!
The crow became grave. But with this human trying to harvest the Heaven's Heart Reishi right before their eyes, they could not tolerate it.
Its body flashed as it transformed into a sharp sword, surging with demonic energy towards Yi Feng.
"Where did this damn crow come from, piss off!"
Yi Feng was sick and tired of this crow. He drew the small iron shovel from his back and swung it at the crow.
"Smack!"
With 100% accuracy, the shovel directly smacked the crow against the cliff wall. Feathers flew as it smashed heavily into the ground, dead beyond dead.
"Hiss!"
The centipede who had climbed halfway up saw this and was scared out of its wits. Its feet curled up in fear as it coiled around a rock, then scurried away on its numerous legs.
The esteemed Master Hei Yu, actually smacked to death by a shovel! As a small centipede, it was no match at all!
This human was no ordinary mortal, he was too terrifying!
And he even wanted to take away the Heaven's Heart Reishi. I must quickly report to the Demon King!
Soon, it drilled into a crevice and disappeared. In its haste, it seemed to have broken two of its numerous legs.
After smacking the crow to death, Yi Feng finally obtained the Heaven's Heart Reishi as he wished, completing one third of this trip's tasks!
"Next is the Water Spirit Grass, it should be in a place with water."
Yi Feng checked his map and headed towards his next destination.
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
