Chapter 327 - 324: Thousand-Year Wild Mountain Ginseng

Gao Fei dreamed of mastering the Immortal Buddha Finger, but alas, the incantation was incomplete, and the difficulty of cultivation was too great. After several months of research, he had made no progress.

"Compared to the Immortal Buddha Finger, the Heavenly Demon's Ten Transformations are easier to cultivate," he said.

"Having witnessed the power of the Heavenly Demon's Ten Transformations, it's truly earth-shattering. I wonder if the Immortal Buddha Finger is just as powerful? Comparing the two, which one is more formidable?"

"One righteous and one evil, if employed at the same time, how terrifying would their power be?"

"I'm really looking forward to it."

"Let's go, let's check out the Demon Sky Tower."

Gao Fei's soul turned and left.

A moment later, Gao Fei's soul entered the Demon Sky Tower, followed the stairs all the way up, and finally reached the third Stone Gate. Gao Fei's soul conjured a large hand and pushed the Stone Gate, "click click click..." The Stone Gate opened in response.

Once the Stone Gate was fully opened, Gao Fei's soul walked in. Behind the Stone Gate was a sealed space, as before, with a stone table in the center. On the table lay a Jade Token, smooth and without inscription or pattern.

When Gao Fei's soul picked up the Jade Token, it suddenly shattered into specks of light, which rushed into Gao Fei's soul.

After a careful sensing for a moment, Gao Fei's soul spoke slowly, "I've obtained the incantation for the Heavenly Demon's Third Transformation!"

After calming his emotions, Gao Fei's soul continued upwards until he arrived at the fourth Stone Gate. He pushed hard with his hands, but the Stone Gate didn't budge.

"Still not possible," he sighed.

Gao Fei's soul let out a sigh, "I can only wait until my cultivation level has risen before I can try opening the fourth Stone Gate." After collecting himself, Gao Fei turned and left the Demon Sky Tower.

The poison had been cleared, the lost cultivation was fully restored, and he had acquired the incantations for both the Immortal Buddha Finger and the Heavenly Demon's Ten Transformations—it was indeed a time of great joy.

...

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

After wandering around for several days, Gao Fei became frustrated, and the passion in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Isn't Elysium supposed to be a cultivator's paradise?"

"Isn't it said that treasures are everywhere in Elysium?"

"Then why can't I find them?"

"Why?!" Gao Fei roared to the heavens.

"Enough with the wailing," Xuan Jizi's voice resounded in his mind, "Elysium is rich in spiritual energy, very suitable for cultivation. To call it a cultivator's paradise is not an exaggeration, but the part about treasures being everywhere... that's a bit overstated.

I won't deny that Elysium has many precious treasures, but..." He paused, "although there are many treasures, there are even more cultivators. After years of scavenging by the cultivators, treasures have become scarce. In other words, most treasures have been collected by cultivators, like those sects, families, and other powers. They surely have countless treasures in their hands..."

"Are you suggesting... that I should rob for treasures?"

"...If you want to die, go ahead."

"Then what should I do?"

"Be patient and keep looking. The realms of Elysium are vast; cultivators can't possibly scour every treasure. There will always be places that are overlooked."

"Sigh..." Gao Fei sighed heavily, "That's the only way."

"Don't lose heart. You are a person with Great Fortune; you will surely find treasures," Xuan Jizi consoled him.

"You really have a way with comforting people," Gao Fei quipped, curling his lip.

Time flew by, and before he knew it, ten days had passed.

In those ten days, Gao Fei had wandered through the dense forests, digging up several wild ginsengs aged over a hundred years. After washing them with clear water, he swallowed them whole. After consuming a few of these ginsengs, he could distinctly feel his body becoming stronger, and his cultivation had slightly improved as well.

"A hundred-year-old ginseng can make me stronger and boost my cultivation, but what about a thousand-year-old ginseng? Or even a ten thousand-year-old one? How about a billion-year-old ginseng?" Gao Fei was just tantalizing his taste buds with the thought.

He was well aware that ginsengs over a thousand years old were rare treasures, already excavated by others, and those that were ten thousand or a billion years old... they were nearly impossible to exist.

"Die!!!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from up ahead.

"Cling clang..." An intense clashing sound followed.

Gao Fei was stunned, "What's happening?" Driven by curiosity, Gao Fei moved forward, rounded a few bends, and saw two groups of people engaged in a fierce battle, one wearing blue and the other red, fighting each other relentlessly.

"Hand over the thousand-year-old ginseng!" a man in red roared.

"Your mother! The thousand-year-old ginseng was found by me first, it should be mine!" a young man in blue shouted back.

Gao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, Thousand-year-old ginseng? What a treasured item! No wonder these people were fighting so desperately. It was all for the sake of competing for a thousand-year-old ginseng. If it were me, I wouldn't let go either.

Gao Fei's eyes rolled around cunningly, and he made up his mind.

Since he had stumbled upon it, he couldn't just let it go.

After carefully observing, Gao Fei realized that both groups had Inedia Stage cultivations, posing no threat to him, and so he had no reservations. With hands behind his back, he stepped out and cursed loudly, "Stop fighting, all of you! Hold it right there! Damn it, your noise is keeping me from a good sleep! Do you believe I'll slaughter you all?"

"Is there an outsider here?"

"Ah! It's a Golden Core Stage cultivator!"

"He's not someone we can afford to mess with."

The two fighting groups immediately ceased their battle and watched Gao Fei with caution.

"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyeballs and use them for marbles!" Gao Fei snarled menacingly.

"Senior..." a middle-aged man in blue stepped forward with a fist and palm salute, "We are disciples of the Floating Cloud Sect..."

"Floating Cloud Sect? Never heard of it," Gao Fei sneered.

"Uh..." The middle-aged man's face twitched, "Senior must be joking..."

"Who's joking with you! I've really never heard of the Floating Cloud Sect!" Gao Fei glared, "Tell me, what the hell is the Floating Cloud Sect?" Gao Fei wasn't lying; he genuinely had never heard of the Floating Cloud Sect.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, suppressing the rising anger in his chest, "Senior, I don't know what we did to offend you..."

"I was sleeping, and you woke me up with your racket. You tell me if that's offending or not," Gao Fei grumbled.

"We are in the wrong. We will leave immediately," the middle-aged man said, turning to walk away.

"Stop right there!" Gao Fei said sharply, "You may go, but the item must remain."

The middle-aged man was taken aback, "Item? What item?"

"Don't play dumb with me," Gao Fei scolded, "Bring out the thousand-year-old ginseng."

"Ah?" The color drained from the middle-aged man's face as he stepped back to put distance between them and Gao Fei, "Senior, what do you mean? We dug up the thousand-year-old ginseng ourselves. Are you trying to rob us?"
