Chapter 306: Chapter 8: Harvest

In Immortal Crossing Island, how many high-grade spiritual plants could be collected within a month?

Many people probably couldn’t answer that question.

But Lin Jing was an exception; he answered this question with his actions…

During this month, Lin Jing kept venturing deeper into the dense forest, which seemed like it had no end. Lin Jing walked for a month, yet there was still no change.

Of course, Lin Jing wasn’t continuously on the move; he traveled intermittently, exploring many places and collecting high-grade spiritual plants.

Throughout this month.

Lin Jing constantly paid attention to the lairs of Demonic Beasts and areas where peculiar trees grew.

Those places usually had some spirit plants growing around them, although they were not of a high rank.

That day, Lin Jing found a Biling Flower near a pond.

The Demonic Beast that had been guarding this place had run off without a trace before Lin Jing’s arrival.

Within this month, Lin Jing had harvested over a dozen Third Rank spirit plants and also found one Fourth Rank.

Now Lin Jing had gathered all the spiritual plants needed to concoct the Third Rank Elixir Medicine, Zengyuan Elixir.

Zengyuan Elixir was a Supreme Elixir that could enhance one’s Cultivation at the Golden Core Stage.

With the Zengyuan Elixir, Lin Jing could rapidly increase his cultivation while at the Golden Core Stage.

Besides the Zengyuan Elixir, the other type meant for quick recovery of spiritual power during battle, the Yellow Dragon Elixir, lacked only the main ingredient, Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, to complete the collection.

Having obtained so many rare spiritual plants, naturally, Lin Jing couldn’t contain his joy.

To obtain more high-grade spiritual plants, and also to explore a potential way out, Lin Jing continued to venture deeper into the dense forest.

Just how vast this forest was remained unknown; so far, Lin Jing felt as if he was still at the peripheral areas of the dense forest.

Then.

Two more days passed, and after climbing over a mountain,

Lin Jing finally noticed some changes up ahead.

A transparent Curtain of light, reaching the sky, enveloped the area in front.

Its presence seemed to divide the entire dense forest into two parts.

Lin Jing stood atop the mountain, looking down.

He saw that the dense forest behind the transparent Curtain appeared incredibly quiet, to the extent that even the traces of small Demonic Beasts were gone.

And within the range that Lin Jing could see, several rare Second Rank spirit plants were growing nonchalantly.

The fact that no Demonic Beast had collected them was indeed strange.

Spirit plants were not only beneficial to Human Cultivators, but also to Demonic Beasts; within the dense forest, many beasts specifically searched for spirit grass to consume and thereby increase their strength.

And those more powerful Demonic Beasts, already possessing a nascent intelligence, would even find some high-grade spiritual plants that were about to mature and guard them, becoming the guardians of that spirit plant.

They knew that only by consuming these high-grade spiritual plants after they had matured, could they reap the greatest benefits.

If even the Second Rank spirit plants here were already visible everywhere,

Then wouldn’t there be numerous Third Rank, or even Fourth Rank high-grade spiritual plants?

Thinking of this, Lin Jing decided to venture into the Curtain of light to investigate further.

Next, Lin Jing descended the mountain.

Having arrived at the base of the mountain, Lin Jing approached the Curtain. He channeled his spiritual power, covering his hand, and reached out to test the Curtain.

However, to Lin Jing’s surprise…

His hand passed right through the Curtain without any sense of resistance, as if the Curtain didn’t exist at all.

Lin Jing immediately felt puzzled.

He then picked up a pebble and threw it in.

It turned out to be true; the pebble, not infused with any spiritual power, also passed right through as if the Curtain were non-existent.

When the pebble landed on the ground, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

After probing the situation, Lin Jing decided to attempt an entry himself.

He first used spiritual power to form a spiritual shield, protecting himself before stepping in.

As soon as he entered, Lin Jing noticed that the spiritual energy inside the light screen was much denser than outside, and the air was filled with an ancient, decayed smell.

It was as if this forest had existed for many years and had begun to decay.

Moreover, there was a kind of indescribable element within this spiritual power, and when Lin Jing tried to sense it carefully, he couldn’t feel anything at all.

However, there didn’t seem to be any danger here.

After confirming the absence of danger, Lin Jing retracted his spiritual shield and cautiously continued deeper.

He first arrived by the mature Second Rank spirit plants, harvested their fruits, and then proceeded forward.

There seemed to be even fewer Demonic Beasts here.

Lin Jing walked a great distance without encountering any traces of Demonic Beasts’ movements.

However, he didn’t come across any Third Rank or higher spirit plants either.

There were quite a few Second Rank spirit plants, some of which had ripened and fallen to the ground to rot, untouched by any Demonic Beasts.

This made Lin Jing begin to wonder.

“Could it be that there are no Demonic Beasts here?”

After his moment of doubt, Lin Jing continued to explore further, and the deeper he went, the more desolate it seemed.

Moreover, the spiritual energy was becoming denser.

Unconsciously, Lin Jing had been walking for several hours, and night had fallen, darkening the skies.

However.

Just then, a strong aura suddenly came from the sky along with a shadow that flashed across.

Lin Jing looked up, but could only see a blur as, in the dark of night, the shadow was extremely difficult to spot.

However, the terrifying presence it emitted was not to be underestimated.

This presence was almost akin to that of the Golden Giant Eagle he had encountered before.

Clearly, it was at least a Nascent Soul Level Demonic Beast.

The shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye, seemingly without noticing Lin Jing’s presence.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing decided to rest here for a while. Although he had the protective feather of the Divine Phoenix, facing a Demonic Beast that vanished without a trace into the night, Lin Jing was for the moment unsure.

“Enter the System Space.”

Following that, Lin Jing entered the System Space.

Once inside the System Space, it was suddenly bright, and Lin Jing took a moment for his eyes to adjust back to normal.

In the Spirit Field at the very front, the high-grade spirit plants that Lin Jing had planted were growing vigorously.

Several of these high-grade spirit plants in the Spirit Field had been snatched from the Demonic Beasts over the past month.

For safety, Lin Jing decided to spend the night in the System Space.

And during this time, it was a good opportunity for him to cultivate.

……

The next day, Lin Jing timed his exit from the System Space just as dawn was breaking, and he continued on his journey.

He traveled for another half a day.

Half a day later, while Lin Jing was walking through the dense forest, he heard a faint sound of eagles and owls.

At the same time, a chaotic and violent aura surged through the forest. Although it was a distance away, Lin Jing could still feel it.

Lin Jing touched the Divine Phoenix feather sachet hanging in front of his chest and then decided to continue deeper into the forest.

To see what the situation ahead was.
