Transcending the Nine Heavens

That night, the experts of the Black Blood Jungle frequently mobilized, occupying advantageous terrain to launch attacks.

Wei Wuyan fought alone throughout the night, venting his frustrations and grievances on these clueless individuals.

By the end of the night, he truly had no idea how many people he had killed.

Wei Wuyan couldn’t help but exclaim: what a loss!

Among them were quite a few notable figures listed on the Blood Reward bounty board; at the very least, he could exchange them for thousands of Amethyst. Especially that saint level one gang leader, who was worth a significant price...

Now, following this bastard meant they had to go deep into the Black Blood Jungle to gather medicine; they wouldn't be able to leave for ten days or half a month. By then, would the heads even be intact? It felt like thousands of Amethyst had sprouted wings and flown away.

Wei Wuyan had fought all night.

Inside the tent, Chu Yang's snoring resonated loudly throughout the night... He was surprisingly at ease, not once coming out to check.

Why didn’t this guy wake up from fear? As dawn broke, Wei Wuyan gazed at the hundreds of corpses strewn around him, leaning on his sword and letting out a long sigh.

"Damn!" The next morning, Chu King of Hell emerged from the tent with an exclamation, "You’re too ruthless, you actually killed so many people!"

Wei Wuyan looked skyward in silence.

Do you think I wanted to kill?

Damn it!

"Got it now?" Chu Yang chuckled, "Which gang does this area belong to in the Black Blood Jungle?"

Wei Wuyan replied somewhat irritably, "This is the outer gang of the Black Blood Jungle, called the Black Tiger Gang. The name is just ridiculous; their boss is named Black Tiger in the Clouds, a name that makes no sense. Now that all the people are dead, why are you asking about the gang?"

Chu Yang replied blandly, "I want to know how many such gangs are in here."

"Definitely not a few!" Wei Wuyan sighed, "And the deeper you go, the harder they are to deal with. Until about eighteen hundred miles in, there's basically nothing left. That’s the central area..."

"We’ve only gone in two hundred miles now," Chu Yang frowned, "The gang we’ve encountered has a saint level one as their leader..."

Wei Wuyan nodded but was about to express his feelings when he suddenly erupted in anger, "So you heard everything last night."

Chu Yang chuckled and stroked his chin, "I couldn’t come out; if I did, Le'er would be scared inside..."

Wei Wuyan was immediately speechless.

For the next leg of the journey, under Chu Yang's suggestion, the trio quickened their pace. Wei Wuyan carried Chu Le'er on his back and sped along. They advanced nearly four hundred miles before the people in the Black Blood Jungle even had time to react.

In this region, the distinction between day and night had become almost indistinguishable.

However, what puzzled both of them was that upon reaching this place, everyone they encountered seemed to avoid them, even making way from a distance.

It was as if they feared provoking them.

This surprised Wei Wuyan and Chu Yang greatly: these guys were definitely not the types to shy away from trouble. Moreover, the deeper they went, the more experts there were. Why did they treat the two of them like they were venomous snakes, avoiding them like the plague?

Here, they had suppressed all vital energy flow, and neither of them possessed such deterrent power.

As the two pondered, they continued onwards.

However, no matter how perplexed they were, the wealth Chu Yang was accumulating didn’t diminish at all. And the speed at which Chu Yang was making a fortune left Wei Wuyan astounded.

Often, while walking, Chu Yang would suddenly dart into the underbrush, then squat down and start digging with his sword. Wei Wuyan came over to take a look and was stunned: a Ginseng.

After a little while, Chu Yang dashed to the roadside again, and when Wei Wuyan checked, he found: a Blood Essence.

...

It's worth noting that the quality of spiritual medicine from the Black Blood Jungle is several times higher than that from the outside world. The soil here is as hard as steel; for spiritual medicine to take root and grow here requires energy and spiritual aura hundreds of times more than what’s found outside.
