Little Ant and Little Fire, the Devouring Ants and Fire Refining Insects, were on guard around, searching for the whereabouts of Ye Mo and Yan Chidao.
Of course, because of You Qianxue, Qin Chen also had them search for Ji Ruyue. You Qianxue was always worried that Ji Ruyue would encounter danger, and it was evident that the two had developed a good relationship during this time.
While searching, these Devouring Ants and Fire Refining Insects were also absorbing the strange demonic energy from the heavens and earth, strengthening themselves.
At the same time, they were collecting spiritual herbs for Qin Chen.
In just over half a day, these extraordinary spirit insects had helped him find numerous high-grade spiritual herbs, including several top-tier royal-grade ones.
After meeting You Qianxue, Qin Chen even became less anxious about finding that group of black-clad people.
Because the area was too vast, and the other party was well-prepared. Even with the extraordinary spirit insects, it was almost impossible to locate them in a short amount of time.
Looking at it from another angle, even if the other party had some schemes, wasn’t there still the big black cat?
From Qin Chen’s understanding of the big black cat, following that group secretly would surely have its own purpose. In any case, it definitely wouldn’t be on the same side as them. With the big black cat’s abilities, sabotaging these Demon Tribe lackeys would undoubtedly not be a difficult task.
Along the way, Qin Chen and You Qianxue practiced and searched.
The aura in this place was somewhat different from that of the Tianwu Continent. At first, he couldn’t feel anything, but as time passed, he immediately sensed that practicing here provided a different kind of validation for his previous martial arts techniques.
This kind of validation was hard for ordinary people to notice, but Qin Chen, who was a peak Martial Emperor at the late stage of the eighth rank in his previous life, immediately discovered that validating his past cultivation from this special reverse perspective gave him a feeling akin to enlightenment, allowing for associative understanding.
This benefit might not be apparent in the short term, but if concluded over a long period, it would undoubtedly lead to a unique insight into the laws.
Could it be that the opportunity to surpass the Martial Emperor mentioned by the big black cat also included this?
On the fifth day, Little Ant and Little Fire suddenly excitedly led Qin Chen to a hidden mountain range.
Qin Chen looked at the mountain range in confusion; there were no spiritual herbs, and the aura here was relatively thin compared to other places. He didn’t understand why Little Ant and Little Fire brought him here.
Just as he was about to ask, Little Ant and Little Fire gathered a group of Devouring Ants and Fire Refining Insects, and rushed madly towards a certain spot in the mountain range.
The surrounding space immediately emitted a series of cracking sounds, and in the next moment, a rustling noise followed.
In just a few breaths, this hidden mountain range was instantly filled with rich true essence from the heavens and earth, but within this true essence was imbued with a hint of the unique aura of the Demon Continent.
“Natural Hidden Spirit Formation…” Qin Chen exclaimed in delight.
He soon understood what was going on; there was actually a high-grade true vein underneath, but it was concealed by the natural Hidden Spirit Formation. He couldn’t see it clearly, but Little Ant and Little Fire had an innate intuition and discovered the anomaly here.
Boom!
Qin Chen immediately summoned his weapon and slashed forward with a sword, instantly causing the entire mountain range to tremble. In just a moment, a black high-grade true stone vein appeared before Qin Chen's eyes.
This true stone spirit vein wasn’t very large, but its core contained a huge block of high-grade true stone. If cut open, it could yield nearly a billion high-grade true stones.
The true stones from the Demon Continent contained a hint of unique demonic energy. Qin Chen was worried that Little Ant and Little Fire would miss the opportunity to absorb it once they left, but now he felt reassured with these true stones.
