Chapter 466: Chapter 250: Lifebound Spirit Plant Revival

Deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

As Lin Chang’an’s Core Formation Cultivation went further in, the surrounding creatures became fewer, until it was completely silent, as if this place was a dead land.

Even the Cyan-Horned Bull had been temporarily put away.

After all, as he continued to venture deeper, the strength of the Cyan-Horned Bull at the Tier Two Late Stage was somewhat insufficient.

"No wonder it’s rumored that deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, even Core Formation Cultivators dare not go further."

Now walking here, Lin Chang’an had already felt the danger of this place.

Especially this miasma, if it weren’t for his unique Cultivation Technique, combined with the immunity granted by the Lifebound Spirit Plant’s feedback,

Even with his Core Formation Cultivation, he would likely be poisoned by now, and he would have to retreat, not daring to go deeper.

"But Blood Evil Master and the former Master Lu were indeed quite desperate."

Lin Chang’an was secretly startled, also indirectly confirming the powerful cultivation these two had back then.

"Master!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird on his shoulder was on high alert, its pale golden eyes constantly surveying the surroundings.

[Spiritual Eye]

Through his cultivation to the extreme Spiritual Eye, Lin Chang’an scanned the surroundings, clearly seeing the hidden dangers around.

The aura emitted by the miasma, the poisonous flowers, and exotic plants—all highly toxic.

"It’s a pity, these poisonous flowers and exotic plants survive depending on this miasma. If taken out they would lose the nourishing miasma, and their effects would be greatly reduced."

Lin Chang’an sighed softly, but still took out the pre-prepared Jade Box and collected the poisonous flowers and exotic plants.

Transplanting them alive was impossible, but he planned to refine them into poison or some toxic pills once he left, retaining the best medicinal effects this way.

He hadn’t come here in vain.

As he continued deeper, a slight buzzing sound suddenly came, and the Phoenix Cry Bird on his shoulder immediately gleamed with excitement.

"These are the infamous ’Crimson Flame Bees’ on the Poisonous Insect Ranking, also known as Golden Crystal Bees!"

Seeing these poisonous bees from a distance, Lin Chang’an was heartened, as this was indeed the place from Blood Evil Master’s fragmented memories.

The Crimson Flame Bees could spit out crimson toxic fire, greatly damaging a cultivator’s magical treasures, while being impervious to weapons and most spell attacks.

Also, because they enjoy eating various ores, a golden crystal forms inside them, a rare material for refining magical treasures, known as Golden Crystal.

They rank among the top hundred on the Odd Insect Ranking.

"Impervious to weapons, specialized in damaging cultivators’ magical treasures!"

Just these two points alone would cause countless cultivators a great headache, yet Lin Chang’an smiled, lightly tapping the Phoenix Cry Bird on his shoulder.

Next moment, the Phoenix Cry Bird eagerly transformed into a streak of golden light.

The buzzing Crimson Flame Bees seemed to have sensed something, and a swarm instantly attacked, spitting out crimson toxic fire.

For ordinary cultivators, magical treasures encountering this fire would be corroded, losing spirituality, and in severe cases, the magical treasure could be directly corroded and destroyed.

Yet this time they encountered their nemesis, as the Phoenix Cry Bird, as if it had returned home, excitedly opened its mouth, weaving through the swarm.

Allowing the swarm of Crimson Flame Bees to attack, the crimson toxic fire couldn’t even scorch the Phoenix Cry Bird’s feathers.

The golden feathers were glossy and smooth, and when hit by the toxic fire, the drops of rain-like fire simply slid off, unable to stain the feathers in the slightest.

The Phoenix Cry Bird excitedly opened its mouth wide, inhaling hundreds at a gulp.

Next moment, the crisp sound of metal chewing echoed, occasionally with thin plumes of crimson fire coming from its mouth and nose.

The so-called crimson toxic fire, for the Phoenix Cry Bird, was simply a delicious delicacy. It excitedly spread its wings, its form expanding to three zhang in size.

And Lin Chang’an, watching everything from afar, nodded silently with approval.

"Indeed, the Phoenix Cry Bird here is like returning to its home, where common poisonous insects are basically delicacies on the menu."

Yet he dared not be careless, pulling out the Hidden Spirit Gauze to conceal his aura while also performing the Breath Concealment Technique himself.

Through the Spiritual Eye, he observed secretly.

The Phoenix Cry Bird, however, frequently provoked, and amidst the approaching black swarming Crimson Flame Bees, it directly pounced forward.

"So the Crimson Flame Bees’ nest is here."

A massive, pale golden hive hung densely on a distant cliff-stone, exuding a powerful aura, clearly indicating the Queen Bee was there.

Within that cliff, ordinary Core Formation Cultivators seemingly could not discern anything, but Lin Chang’an could see clearly with his Spiritual Eye.

A wisp of Pure Spiritual Qi floated on the mountain wall, indicating a Spiritual Spring within the cliff that birthed such rich Pure Spiritual Qi.

"These Crimson Flame Bees indeed occupy an excellent cultivation spot—this place rich in spiritual energy and even blessed with a Spiritual Spring."

Lin Chang’an marveled, while the Phoenix Cry Bird also noticed the hive, excitedly cawing amidst the encircling black swarm.

It audaciously devoured the swarm, and the hive’s Queen Bee inside clearly sensed the crisis, becoming anxious, commanding the swarm to attack. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"The Queen Bee is preparing to escape!"

The high intelligence of the Tier Three Demon Beast was apparent, as the Queen Bee felt the danger, commanding the dense swarm to fend off enemies, while it, under the cover of a group of Crimson Flame Bees, began its escape.

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an was slightly distressed, but sighed lightly, choosing not to risk intercepting.

After all, the Phoenix Cry Bird restrained the poisonous bees, but he did not.

Facing the Tier Three Queen Bee and so many poisonous bees remained dangerous for him.
