Daily Intelligence, Starting Out I Obtain the Heaven-devouring Demonic Art

173: The Life-Sustaining Herb for the Underworld!”Search... Search for him thoroughly, I must find this damned creature!” The Ghost Saint was in an extremely foul mood.

Meanwhile, Wang Teng, after killing the Blood Ghost, had already headed towards the Ghost Saint’s residence.

The Ghost Saint’s residence was built atop the Nether Blood Pool within the Misty Abyss. It was constructed entirely from dark black Netherite, with its roof covered in phosphorescent glazed tiles that glowed with an eerie blue ghost fire in the eternal night.

The main body of the hall was covered in millennium-old profound iron chains, from the ends of which hung inverted skull wind chimes. When the wind blew, the bone whistles wailed like a hundred Ghosts crying at night.

On either side of the main entrance stood two Divine Tribulation Realm Monsters guards.

The guards had green faces and fangs, were as burly as mountains, and wielded massive axes. The axe blades were congealed with millennium-old profound ice, and each axe pattern embedded with struggling vengeful spirit remnants.

In their crimson pupils, karmic fire flickered, and wherever their gaze swept, even the air rippled with scorched ghost marks.

There were also numerous Patrolling Ghosts clad in silver armor, with un-dried black blood congealed on their mail. Their tattered cloaks fluttered in the cold wind.

Ghost-headed sabers hung from their waists, their hands resting on the hilts. Their faces were covered by bronze ghost masks, with only a pair of eerie green ghost fires wandering in their eye sockets, scrutinizing all directions.

The doors of the Ghost Saint’s residence were reinforced with eighty-one bronze door nails, and the lintel was carved with rebirth incantations, which, under the erosion of ghost Qi, twisted into wailing ghost faces.

Ice stalactites hung from the eaves like crystal curtains, reflecting the blood-colored light rising from the Blood Pool, illuminating the entire Saint’s residence like a judgment platform standing at the entrance to the Underworld.

From the cracks in the stone steps in front of the hall, black mandalas sprouted, with putrid dew drops rolling on their petals. If any mortal creature took a step forward, it would be entangled by the roots and dragged underground, turning into vengeful spirit nourishment for the Saint’s residence.

This was the Ghost Saint’s residence, heavily guarded and perilous at every turn.

”The Ghost Saint’s residence is truly extraordinary!” Wang Teng murmured as he looked at the buildings that came into view, then began to wait for an opportunity.

Not long after, an opportunity arose. Wang Teng directly disguised himself as a Patrolling Ghost and successfully infiltrated the Ghost Saint’s residence, finally managing to see the Saint-Grade medicine, the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma.

The Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma was a peculiar inky black, with a crimson glow, like a living entity, flowing along the edge of its cap, as if blood slowly circulated within it.

The cap was thick and full, its surface covered with intricate spiral patterns, as if containing some profound truth of heaven and earth.

Its stem was tall and straight, appearing as warm, ivory white jade.

Wisps of white mist slowly emanated from the top of the cap, carrying an aroma that blended the fresh scent of plants with the fragrance of earth.

Surrounding the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma were twelve ancient and mysterious black runes floating in the air.

Each rune was composed of inky black light, forming irregular geometric shapes, their surfaces shimmering with flowing spiritual light.

At this moment, the runes were slowly rotating along a specific trajectory, subtly connected by black threads, forming a perfect circular shield that firmly protected the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma in the center.

The black light emitted by the runes and the crimson glow from the ganoderma intertwined, creating a bizarre yet harmonious scene, while also exuding a sacred and inviolable aura. Any creature that approached would feel a sense of dread.

This was the legendary Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma, which gathered both the Yin-Sha Qi of heaven and earth and pure Yang vitality.

The surrounding runes formed an ancient runic array, specifically used to guard such a Saint-Grade item, preventing its aura from leaking and deterring uninvited guests.

To be frank, even a quasi-Saint-Grade expert would not be able to steal the Saint-Grade medicine, the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma.

After all, this Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma was not only protected by a runic array, but the Ghost Saint’s residence also had Divine Tribulation Realm Ghost Kings guarding it. Even a Saint-Grade expert would have to expend some effort.

However, Wang Teng possessed not only the Eye of Delusion-Breaking Gold but also the Movement Character Secret.

The Eye of Delusion-Breaking Gold could see through the Origin of all things.

The runic array guarding the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma was of an extremely high Rank, but it still had some flaws.

Under normal circumstances, these flaws would be insignificant, at most weak points, and extremely difficult for anyone to discover.

However, Wang Teng’s Eye of Delusion-Breaking Gold could see through them, and coupled with the Movement Character Secret’s ability to largely ignore runic arrays.

Therefore, Wang Teng only needed to activate the Eye of Delusion-Breaking Gold and employ the Movement Character Secret to pass through these weak points, infiltrating the runic array and taking the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma without anyone noticing.

Subsequently, Wang Teng took a deep breath, his spine taut, and activated the Movement Character Secret to its fullest. His figure transformed into a faint golden stream of light, weaving through the interwoven light net of runes.

The circulating runes seemed alive, constantly opening and closing, spewing Restriction power that grazed Wang Teng’s sleeves, leaving scorched marks.

Wang Teng held his breath and focused, golden light shimmering in his eyes, revealing the weak points of the array. He lightly tapped the Void Realm with his toes, slipping into the fleeting gaps like a fish.

The sound of flowing runes constantly echoed in his ears, corroding and tearing at Wang Teng’s skin, but he dared not pause for a moment.

Finally, with the aid of the Eye of Delusion-Breaking Gold and the Movement Character Secret, Wang Teng safely passed through the runic array.

This array was more formidable than he had anticipated. If not for the Eye of Delusion-Breaking Gold and the speed of the Movement Character Secret, he would have been discovered by numerous Monsters long ago.

After passing through the array, Wang Teng composed himself, once again suppressed his aura to the lowest possible level, and quickly began to excavate the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma.

Now was a race against time; every second he lingered here increased his danger.

In just three breaths of time, Wang Teng successfully excavated the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma and placed it into his System space.

Subsequently, Wang Teng did not dare to hesitate, once again using the Eye of Delusion-Breaking Gold and the Movement Character Secret, he began to move through the runic array.

Just as he successfully passed through the runic array and was about to leave the Ghost Saint’s residence, the disappearance of the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma immediately attracted the attention of some Patrolling Ghosts.

”No... This is bad...! The Ghost Saint’s Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma has been stolen! Quickly... Quickly seal off the Ghost Saint’s residence! No one is allowed to leave!”

”Anyone found leaving, no matter who they are, will be killed without mercy!”

The terrifying shout of the Patrolling Ghost leader suddenly rang out. He couldn’t imagine how the Ghost Saint’s Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma could have been stolen.

It made their group of Patrolling Ghosts and the runic array seem like mere decorations.

Moreover, who dared to do such a brazen thing? To steal the Ghost Saint’s Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma, was he courting death?

When the many Monsters in the Ghost Saint’s residence heard these words, their expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with terror.

These Monsters were all here to guard the Ghost Saint’s home.

Now, the Saint-Grade medicine, the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma, had been stolen, and these Monsters all bore inescapable responsibility.

Especially when they thought of the cruel punishments they would face later, all these Monsters revealed expressions of terror.

”Quick... Quickly implement a full lockdown! The thief must not be allowed to escape!”

At this moment, many Monsters sprang into action, sealing off the Ghost Saint’s residence. No Ghost/Monster could leave a single step. Anyone who dared to leave at this time would be treated as the thief who stole the Yellow Springs Life-Extending Ganoderma...
