The spiritual eye magic weapon circled around the valley. Li Tianyan also carefully observed the illusion formation through the light mirror, not missing any subtleties. After a long time, he finally found an entrance to the illusion.

Just as he was about to take Cheng Qi there, Li Tianyan suddenly twitched his nose and struck a lightning bolt in the direction where Cheng Qi’s back was facing.

Cheng Qi was also startled. When he turned around, he saw a fleeing shadow being struck by lightning and flying backwards. A man’s figure appeared and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing the cultivator who had fallen not far away, Li Tianyan smiled coldly and said, “Your concealment skills are good.”

“It’s a pity that you discovered it,” Liu Zhou said sincerely. What he had just seen was a sneak attack that was about to succeed. It was a pity to miss such a good opportunity.

“Pity? Not necessarily. No matter how good your concealment skills are, it’s just a small skill, and you’re still far from being able to make a sneak attack on me.” After Li Tianyan finished speaking, the metal thin sword transformed into thousands of sword shadows came toward Liu Zhou with the aura of thunder and lightning and attacked.

But at the critical moment, Liu Zhou’s figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air. It turned out that after his whereabouts were exposed, he had no intention of getting entangled with Li Tianyan and had already prepared the teleportation talisman to escape.

When Li Tianyan saw that the person had run away, he waved his robe sleeves and all the thin swords were withdrawn. He searched the surrounding area with his spiritual consciousness to make sure that no one was hiding nearby, and then he led Cheng Qi in one direction.

Cheng Qi grabbed Li Tianyan’s hand tightly, curled his lips, and said unwillingly, “That guy is so cunning.”

Li Tianyan saw Cheng Qi’s angry look and said with a smile, “Even if he runs away, he will not have it easy in the next few months.”

“Huh? What did the young master do?” Cheng Qi asked curiously with his eyes wide open.

“There was a trace of Yin fire hidden in the thunder and lightning just now,” Li Tianyan said. Although his Yin Fire was not as powerful as Cheng Qi’s, it would not be so easy for Liu Zhou to force out the Yin Fire without the help of Core Formation cultivator.

The two walked for nearly an hour before they arrived at the place Li Tianyan had previously favored. Although Li Tianyan had the spiritual eye, he still took out the compass and calculated it again, and the result was indeed the same as what he had seen with the spiritual eye.

“Young master, how is it?” Cheng Qi, not proficient in formations, could only watch Li Tianyan’s movements. Seeing him take back the compass and magic weapon, he asked nervously.

“Stand behind me.” Li Tianyan pulled Cheng Qi back behind him, and then slapped a palm with all his strength toward the entrance of the phantom formation. After a strong burst of infuriating energy, a gap was opened in the phantom formation, revealing a corner of the valley.

However, the opened area was healing quickly. Li Tianyan pulled Cheng Qi and submerged into the valley in the blink of an eye. The two of them had just stood firm when the entrance behind them returned to its original state.

Li Tianyan scanned the area with his spiritual consciousness, and after seeing that there was no danger nearby, he and Cheng Qi slowly moved forward. However, he did not dare to let down his guard at all, and his spiritual consciousness kept surrounding the two of them.

What the two of them saw at this time was the real valley. Even Cheng Qi could smell the aroma of spiritual grass filling the air, and the spiritual energy here was several times richer than outside.

After Li Tianyan came in, he smelled the scent of a spiritual creature and felt inexplicably anxious in his heart.

“What’s wrong, young master?” Sensing that Li Tianyan was in a different mood, Cheng Qi turned to look at him and asked.

Li Tianyan thought for a while and then said, “Maybe the spiritual things in the valley can be useful to me.”

“Really? Then let’s go find them quickly.” Cheng Qi immediately became energetic after hearing this.

“There’s no rush, let’s take a look around first.” Li Tianyan glanced deep into the valley before saying.

Cheng Qi walked closely against Li Tianyan, but his head kept turning left and right, full of curiosity about everything in the valley. He felt that a pair of eyes were almost not enough. He just wished he could be like the foundation-establishment cultivators and use his spiritual consciousness to see everything here.

“Young master, this valley is so beautiful.” Cheng Qi couldn’t help but admire when he saw the various flowers and plants here.

“Don’t be careless. The more beautiful the place, the more dangerous it is.” Li Tianyan said in a serious voice. He always felt that it was not that simple in this valley.

“Yes, I understand.” Cheng Qi also nodded seriously.

The two of them first walked around the outside of the valley and found several spiritual herbs that were hundreds of years old. They were all extinct species in the Hengwu Continent. Cheng Qi also picked these spiritual herbs one by one.

“Young master, what kind of spiritual grass is that black one?” Cheng Qi saw a spiritual grass with strong spiritual energy, but it was so black that it looked more like a poisonous weed.

“That’s the Purifier of Evil grass, which can be made into a PoE Medicinal Pill. If you are plagued by bad luck, you can take it to get rid of the bad luck.” Li Tianyan acted as an encyclopedia of spiritual herbs and explained to Cheng Qi.

“Then I’ll go and put it away.” Cheng Qi knew it was another rare spiritual grass as soon as he heard it. He immediately squatted down and carefully pulled out the spiritual grass from the soil with a shovel.

Li Tianyan’s eyes had been fixed on Cheng Qi and never moved away for a moment, so when a brown tree root emerged from his feet, Li Tianyan was immediately alarmed and pulled Cheng Qi to dodge away.

Cheng Qi was still holding the spiritual grass in his hand and was carried away from the ground by Li Tianyan. He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the place where he had just been, and saw a thick tree root rising into the sky, grabbing at them like an arm.

A flash of purple light appeared in Cheng Qi’s eyes, and a wisp of purple flame went toward the incoming tree root. However, as soon as the flame touched the tree root, it made a sizzling sound and went out. Li Tianyan released several bolts of lightning and struck the root of the tree, causing it to retreat underground in pain.
