Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 350: Chapter 347: Harvest

```html

Early next morning, Chu Zhiyuan finished practicing the Purple Sun Scripture at dawn, and as he released the Purple Sun Stance, Xiao Ruoling lightly pushed the door open and entered.

She had changed into a dark green combat uniform, looking strong and graceful, with an air of heroic spirit.

”Let’s set out then.”

Chu Zhiyuan was somewhat impatient, eager to see what good things they might encounter.

”Let’s go,” Xiao Ruoling said.

The two of them went to the cliff top and saw Yun Qiuhua.

Yun Qiuhua smiled at the two of them and waved her hand, saying, ”If you encounter danger, be sure to send a signal in time, don’t be reckless.”

Xiao Ruoling agreed.

They took a step, and suddenly the scene before them changed.

It was a vast expanse of white snow.

The white snow covered the earth, and the world was only a pure white.

Under his insight, he discovered that the snow beneath their feet was a meter thick.

This was extremely astonishing.

Such thick snow, almost annihilating, could suffocate most of the animals.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: ”We are really fortunate in our luck.”

He felt that the best place now would be the ocean, a place unexplored by anyone.

In this vast snowy world, one could not use the Water Repelling Pearl, and there was no Spirit Grass to harvest, which was not ideal.

Xiao Ruoling softly said, ”Few people encounter this.”

Chu Zhiyuan understood what she meant.

Few people encounter it, which means it is an undeveloped land, indicating a great harvest.

Of course, it also indicates extreme danger.

Xiao Ruoling suddenly grasped his hand, transferring a warm and cool breath over.

The warm and cool breath circulated in his body, making him feel comfortable without any aggression.

He restrained the Purple Sun Scripture and all kinds of Gang Qi’s automatic defense, and did not attack this warm and cool breath.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”Wrapped in the Taiyin Great Refining Form, no Demon Beast will attack us.”

Chu Zhiyuan raised a sword-like eyebrow: ”No Demon Beast will attack?”

”The vast majority will not.”

”That is already excellent,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”I had this conjecture before.”

His insight in the presence of Demon Beasts’ attacks almost always targeted him, ignoring Xiao Ruoling.

This was obviously not a coincidence, there must be a reason, most likely due to the Taiyin Great Refining Form.

”Currently, it seems Demon Beasts will not attack those practicing the Taiyin Great Refining Form, but Demon Beasts are not human, they do not reason, and once bloodthirsty, they do not care if someone is practicing the Taiyin Great Refining Form.”

”It’s something to guard against, but reducing these Demon Beasts’ attacks is already extraordinary.” Chu Zhiyuan held her jade hand.

Demon Beasts’ attacks are troublesome, especially some are extremely powerful, sometimes even he can’t cope.

If there were no attacks and obstacles from Demon Beasts, they could leisurely search for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even Cave Mansions.

”Let’s go,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

The two walked hand in hand as if floating, deliberately leaving sufficiently deep footprints in the snow.

This aids in returning.

To leave the Secret Realm, they must exit from where they came, and this vast snow with no landmarks around can easily make one lose their way and fail to return.

Chu Zhiyuan constantly observed with Insight all around, and after walking for an hour, suddenly stopped.

”What’s wrong?” Xiao Ruoling asked.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Saw something good.”

He led her floating fifty meters to the left, stomped his feet, and with a muffled ”bang”, snowflakes splashed.

Then a huge bluestone was exposed.

Chu Zhiyuan approached the bluestone and pointed under its roots to a purple Lingzhi: ”Look at what this is?”

Xiao Ruoling glanced at it, thoughtfully: ”Is it Snow Ganoderma? ... It’s a bit small, but it’s indeed Snow Ganoderma.”

Snow Ganoderma is a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, best known for saving lives and nurturing Primordial Energy, truly rare.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”It’s worth the trip, time to head back.”

”Not going further?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”The environment is too oppressive, too uncomfortable, no need to continue.”

Such an oppressive environment can easily give birth to extremely powerful Demon Beasts; it’s best not to take this risk.

”That’s fine,” Xiao Ruoling did not argue.

She took a Cold Jade Box and a Cold Jade Blade from her sleeve, gently clipping the Snow Ganoderma and carefully placing it into the Cold Jade Box.

An ethereal fragrance wafted from the scent of the Snow Ganoderma.

”Bang!”

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly stomped, causing the ground to tremble.

Two strange insects resembling centipedes emerged from the ground, two meters long and arm-thick, segmented with black gleams.

Their dense legs wriggled in the Void, moving at lightning speed toward Xiao Ruoling.

”Bang bang!” Chu Zhiyuan drew with both palms, and the two strange insects collided in mid-air with seemingly walls, sliding straight down.

Chu Zhiyuan’s palms didn’t stop, drawing again, the two insects flew into the air once more, their multitude of feet wriggling, bodies struggling but unable to escape the Void’s power.

Xiao Ruoling closed the Cold Jade Box, retreating to Chu Zhiyuan’s side, wondrously observing these two insects.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Prepare to escape.”

Xiao Ruoling looked at the two insects: ”Are they very powerful?”

”There are too many!” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

As his words were still hanging, countless beams of black light suddenly emerged from the snow.

”Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!”

Beams of black light shot toward Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling like a cloud pressing down.

Chu Zhiyuan pulled Xiao Ruoling, darted out like a wisp of smoke, and escaped the coverage of the black light.

Though the two were fast, their speed was faster.

A myriad of feet paddled in the Void, granting them extreme speed, getting ever faster.

Xiao Ruoling turned her head, getting goosebumps from the dense black insects and the myriad of feet.

She grasped the slim tube in her sleeve, ready to send a signal: ”Can’t escape.”

Chu Zhiyuan abruptly waved both hands, immense and powerful energy surged forth, forming a Gang Qi Wall.

”Bang bang bang bang...”

Countless black insects crashed into the force of the Fearless Realm, crashing to the ground.

After they landed, they leaped up again, continuing toward Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his palms again.

He retreated swiftly, using the power from his palms, gaining an extra bit of speed, pulling away from the black insects by several meters.

But soon they were upon them again.

Xiao Ruoling whispered, ”I’ll help too.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”You can try.”

He withdrew a hand to embrace Xiao Ruoling’s waist, freeing up Xiao Ruoling’s hands.

Xiao Ruoling pushed with both palms.

”Bang!” Suddenly an explosion occurred in the middle of the swarm of black insects, the air seemingly twisting, forming a blast.

Dozens of black insects were blown away, but in mid-air, they moved again, shooting back.

Xiao Ruoling’s face slightly changed.

She hadn’t expected the black insects to be so tough, that her palm power, capable of breaking tendons and bones, was ineffective against them.

Chu Zhiyuan’s right hand held Xiao Ruoling’s waist, while his left palm softly pushed out.

”Pop pop pop pop...”

One black insect after another suddenly burst into green fluid, collapsed, dead.

The charge of the black insect swarm halted for a moment.

Chu Zhiyuan softly pushed out his left palm again.

”Pop pop pop pop...”

Green juices spurted from the black insects, and they fell limp to the ground.

The advancing black insects suddenly retreated.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: ”These guys are pretty smart!”

Originally thought these centipede-like insects lacked intelligence, but the fact proved otherwise.

They swarmed indomitably, but upon detecting danger, they retreated immediately.

Chu Zhiyuan pressed out with his left palm again.

”Pop pop pop pop...”

Scores of black insects burst green fluid and died.

The green fluid stained the white snow on the ground green.

The black insects lingered no longer and instantly flew into the distance.

Chu Zhiyuan grinned.

”What kind of Hand Skills was that?”

”Qiankun Six Absolute Palm,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”No wonder Lu Yaofeng roamed the world unrivaled with this technique.”
