On the subsequent journey, using the constant warning from the Heavenly Mirror, Chu Mo successfully avoided numerous dangers.

The group gradually discovered that Chu Mo always seemed to avoid dangerous areas. Along the way, everyone found something rewarding.

Some rare ores just appeared on the ground. When someone picked one up, they discovered it contained an unknown exotic metal they had never seen before, causing them to get excited.

They knew that these metals, after being refined and added to weapons, could significantly increase their power and strength.

They had been coveting the knife possessed by Chu Mo for quite some time.

Not only were there ores containing rare metals, but there were also many medicinal herbs.

The Immortals were known for their elixir refinement, and their ability to identify medicinal herbs exceeded other sects.

They didn't recognize most of these herbs, but they were able to identify over thirty different types because their medicinal properties were similar.

Xiao Yunlian, looking at a herb just collected by a disciple of the Immortal sect, exclaimed joyfully, "This herb has medicinal properties that are very similar to the main material, Dragon-returning grass, used in the refining of the Primordial Energy Pill. However, its potency is a hundred times more potent than the Dragon-returning grass! This single herb can be used to make over a thousand Primordial Energy Pills. It's truly an astonishing wealth!"

Although the people of the One Sword sect didn't understand elixir refinement, they knew the value of the Primordial Energy Pill. Upon hearing this, their eyes gleamed with greed.

Then, the disciples of the One Sword sect began to collect the medicinal herbs swiftly, but inevitably, they were not as proficient as the Immortal sect disciples.

Xiao Yunlian looked at Chu Mo, "Young Master Chu, we really appreciate your help. Once we refine the pills from these herbs, we will provide them for free to the Piaomiao Palace!"

This was quite a promise. The Primordial Energy Pill, which was usually only seen within the Four Great Sects, could be used to rapidly replenish primordial energy. Even though the amount replenished from the pill was less than from the primordial stone, the pill had the advantage of being much cheaper and conveniently refinished, while a primordial stone could only be used once.

Eventually, the last primordial stone in this world will be used up, but the Primordial Energy Pill is different. The medicine gardens in various sects are growing herbs to refine Primordial Energy Pills all the time.

Chu Mo smiled and did not refuse. He simply replied, "Sister Xiao, there is no need to be so kind. You have gotten these things on your own."

However, Xiao Yunlian just shook her head and said earnestly, "Without Young Master Chu leading us, how could we have the opportunity to get these treasures? Young Master Chu need not say more. We, the Immortals, know how to repay kindness!"

Hua Sanniang from the other side sighed, "Hey, it sounds like we, the One Sword sect, don't know how to repay kindness?" She then said to Chu Mo, "When we forge excellent weapons, we will give a hundred to the Piaomiao Palace for free!"

As she said this, she snorted at Xiao Yunlian, as if she was a sulking little girl.

Xiao Yunlian gave a small smile: "Generous Elder Hua..."

With one word, 'Elder', Hua Sanniang rolled her eyes and finally turned her face away, no longer paying attention to Xiao Yunlian.

In the days that followed, Chu Mo led the group out of the vast canyon and into a desolate mountain area where the mountains were all bare, with very little vegetation growing on them.

They no longer met any danger, but two incidents took place.

The first incident was the sudden disappearance of a young male disciple from the One Sword sect.

According to the descriptions of the people with him, the young disciple was walking before suddenly saying that he had heard a mysterious voice. However, before anyone could ask him what happened, he had disappeared.

Chu Mo arrived at the location of the disappearance, but felt no danger. He could only comfort Hua Sanniang, He Feng, and the others by saying that the young disciple might have stumbled upon some treasure.

The ruins were not ordinary places even in the Heavenly Realm, so the occurrence of some inexplicable and strange incidents was normal.

The second incident was when Miao Yi Niang picked up a palm-sized token from the ground by chance, only to disappear instantly.

At the time Miao Yi Niang was right next to Chu Mo, and the Heavenly Mirror did not give Chu Mo any warning. Miao Yi Niang picked up the token and had only managed to say, "What is this?" before she vanished instantly, leaving Chu Mo taken aback.

The disappearance of the two cast a shadow over the team, and the mood of the group became somewhat low.

Although being with Chu Mo meant they did not encounter life-threatening crises, the direct disappearance of people... what was that about?

In the following days, although there were no more disappearances, almost everyone... in these desolate mountains, found their own opportunities.

Some found ores of extremely high purity. The value of such ores was evident to the naked eye of anyone with some experience in artifact forging. It was unimaginably high.

Others found high-grade medicinal herbs.

Despite the bare and desolate appearance of the mountains, there were actually not a few medicinal herbs. However, only experienced people could find them.

In the words of He Feng, Xiao Yunlian, and others, if these metal ores and medicinal herbs were successfully brought out, it would change the pattern of the entire Mortal Realm!

These findings were just minor gains.

People with greater luck found things difficult to imagine.

Shen Xingxue found a dilapidated bronze furnace, which looked very worn and even cut Shen Xingxue's finger, causing her blood to flow onto it.

But because of this small incident that no one cared about, the broken furnace suddenly shone, emitting a beam of light much stronger than sunlight that startled everyone.

They all feared that something unusual would happen to Shen Xingxue, or that she would disappear like Miao Yi Niang.

But thankfully, the light from the furnace quickly disappeared, and then the furnace itself disappeared.

Just as everyone was wondering, Shen Xingxue managed to summon the furnace out again.

Needless to say... it must be an invaluable treasure!

A truly invaluable treasure!

Shen Xingxue also told them that when the bronze furnace merged into her body, a scripture appeared in her mind.

"This is an elixir furnace called the Medicine King Bronze Furnace... there's a scripture too? Hmm… It's a scripture... called the Medicine King Scripture. It's related to elixir refining and cultivation... what's it called... 'Path of Dao via Medicine?'" Shen Xingxue looked at Chu Mo a little blankly, hoping to hear more explanations from him.

Xiao Yunlian exclaimed in shock on the side, "The Medicine King Scripture? Could it be... related to the Bronze Medicine King Ding from the Vermilion Bird Association back then?"

Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh, "Bronze Medicine King Ding? What's that..." (To be continued. If you like this work, come to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
