The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 7: The Black Sea of ​​Bitterness Opened Up

When the three saw the sect's law enforcement team coming, they stopped.

Seeing the two people from the law enforcement team coming over, Han Feiyu climbed up and quickly said, "I am the grandson of Elder Han. These three people were bullying my fellow disciples, and I came to their aid. They actually beat me up too. You saw it with your own eyes just now."

The two watched Han Feiyu stand up, and after listening to what he said, they said calmly: "We already know the cause and effect of this matter. Liu Shan and Pang Bo have been listed as immortal seedlings. If you offend them again in the future, Elder Han will not be able to protect you. And Elder Wu Qingfeng has always been paying attention to Liu Shan and Pang Bo."

Immortal seedlings are the foundation of the sect's future and the sect's hope. After Han Feiyu knew that they were immortal seedlings, he knew that he had been beaten in vain and there was no way to retaliate, so he turned around and left.

Liu Shan and the other two were not idle either, picking up the Hundred Herb Liquid that the previous people had dropped on the ground, their own, and the ones they had robbed before. Then the three of them began to search the bodies of the several people, and found a few more bottles on each of them, a total of more than 60 bottles.

The two people from the law enforcement team looked at each other in silence as they saw the three men robbing the rest of the people like a swarm of locusts. These people were looking for trouble, and when they were killed in return, they were asking for trouble.

After seeing the three people finishing up the Hundred Herb Liquid, the two people from the law enforcement team came forward to greet them, said that they could ask for their help with anything, and then flew away.

The three of them happily returned to their residence and prepared to divide the spoils. There were sixty-six bottles in total, twenty-two bottles for each person, just enough to go around.

After Liu Shan knew that Elder Wu Qingfeng had been paying attention, he prepared to take out the wild fruit he had brought out from the ancient forbidden land. This unknown wild fruit could grow in the ancient forbidden land, so it should have some effect, right?

After discussing with Ye Fan, he went to find Elder Wu Qingfeng alone, took out the wild fruit, and wanted Elder Wu Qingfeng to identify it.

Wu Qingfeng took it and looked at it and said, "This is a kind of demon fruit. It is a strange fruit that can only grow after the demon beast dies and absorbs the essence of the demon beast. It is of certain use to the physique and soul of the early cultivators."

Liu Shan: "Can you exchange it for some Baicao Liquid?"

Wu Qingfeng: "Oh? Don't you have enough Baicao Liquid? Didn't you just get dozens of bottles?"

Liu Shan: "Hehe, you know, Ye Fan is an ancient holy body, which consumes more resources. He hasn't opened up the sea of ​​suffering yet, so it's useful to prepare more in the future."

Wu Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "There are six in total. I'll exchange them for thirty bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid. This demon fruit is only useful for early stage cultivators to build their foundation, so its value is not too high."

Liu Shan understood clearly that he had seen quite a few on the road. They were probably monsters that strayed into the ancient holy land and were then drained of their vitality. Then the surrounding trees took advantage of this and absorbed the flesh and blood of those monsters.

After Wu Qingfeng gave Liu Shan the Hundred Herb Liquid, he said, "The Hundred Herb Liquid contains a lot of energy. Early cultivators should not take too much, otherwise there will be a risk of their energy rushing out of control and their bodies exploding and dying."

Liu Shan happily agreed, "We will be careful." Then he asked some questions about his recent cultivation and said goodbye and left.

After arriving at the residence, she happily took out thirty bottles of Herb Liquid and placed them together with the previous ones.

"It's really rich. Thank you so much, Senior Brother Han Feiyu, you are such a good person!"

The three of them sighed.

"How about this, we don't have to divide it equally. Pangbo and I have already opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, so we don't need too many resources. We will each take twenty bottles, and Ye Fan, you can use the remaining dozens of bottles to open up the Sea of ​​Bitterness!" Liu Shan said to Ye Fan and the others.

Pangbo nodded in agreement.

Ye Fan hurriedly said: "This won't work. How can I give you so much? This is not fair to you."

Liu Shan said: "It's okay. The holy body requires too many resources. You haven't sensed the sea of ​​suffering yet. If you don't practice hard, you won't see me and Pangbo anymore."

Pangbo also advised: "Yes, there are only three of us here, we should move forward together and support each other."

Ye Fan was speechless. He could only remember this kindness silently in his heart.

Liu Shan: "Ye Fan, don't think too much. Elder Wu Qingfeng also specifically told me not to take too much of the Hundred Herb Liquid. Do it according to your ability, otherwise there will be a risk of violent death. We have obtained so much, and I guess we can't use it all."

The three of them discussed the battle just now. Although all three of them had amazing physiques and the strength of dragons and elephants, the cultivators' profound techniques were too sophisticated.

This victory was also a fluke, after all, among the same sect, those few people were also cautious and did not kill. Of course, they themselves were only rookies who had been practicing for a short time.

The most important thing now is to open up the sea of ​​suffering and connect the wheel of life. Faced with the crisis, the three of them are eager to become stronger quickly.

Now that the Herb Liquid was sufficient, no one was stingy. In just two days, Liu Shan and Pang Bo drank six bottles each. When Liu Shan drank the seventh bottle, he felt his energy surging and his whole body felt like being pricked by needles. He didn't dare drink any more, and quickly calmed his mind and circulated the Taoist scriptures to calm the surging energy.

It was unknown how long it had passed, but his energy finally calmed down. Liu Shan continued to circulate Taoist scriptures, urging his energy to rush towards the sea of ​​suffering.

A huge amount of energy went towards the bitter sea. With a loud bang, Liu Shan finally opened up the bitter sea. His bitter sea was as dark as ink and lifeless. Only a little white light illuminated the bitter sea. There was no golden bitter sea, no lightning or thunder, just ordinary. Although Liu Shan knew that he was a mortal, he was still a little disappointed when he saw the black bitter sea without any strange phenomena.

However, Liu Shan did not give up. As long as he could hold on to the right supporter, becoming an emperor was nothing. I wanted to become an immortal!

Liu Shan and Pang Bo, with sufficient herbal liquid, opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness one after another.

"Too much is as bad as too little. I drank too much." Pang Bo said fearfully.

"Others only drink one bottle in three months, but we drink seven bottles in two days. It's really too hasty." Liu Shan said.

"You also drank seven bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid, why are you okay?" Pang Bo looked at Ye Fan and said.

"I don't know either. Instead, I feel more and more energetic." Ye Fan opened another bottle of Herb Liquid and said as he drank.

"Your physique is too strong. Keep drinking. The energy you need is far from enough." Liu Shan said to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan thought it made sense, so he began to try drinking one bottle of Baicao Liquid after another. While drinking, he practiced the Taoist Scriptures. After ten, twenty, and thirty bottles, Liu Shan was prepared, but he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

When there were fifty bottles, Pang Bo hurriedly stopped Ye Fan, "Don't drink anymore, I'm a little scared. Are you really okay?" Looking at the small bottles on the ground.

Ye Fan: "I feel good. I sense the sea of ​​suffering, and there are violent fluctuations in the wheel of life."

"Keep drinking." Liu Shan continued to hand Ye Fan the Herb Liquid.

After finishing fifty-six bottles, Liu Shan handed four bottles to Ye Fan and drank a total of sixty bottles.

Ye Fan stopped and sat cross-legged quietly to practice. He didn't know how much time had passed.

Suddenly, thousands of golden lights emerged from Ye Fan’s sea of ​​suffering, followed by the sound of surging waves, lightning and thunder. The scene was so shocking.

"This is such a huge difference. Why is my Sea of ​​Bitterness so dark and lifeless?" Pang Bo said to Liu Shan while looking at the noise made by Ye Fan.

Liu Shan nodded with a wry smile. The scene was so shocking, as if it were a dream. Is this the protagonist?

Ye Fan opened his eyes and a golden light flashed.

"Have you opened up the sea of ​​suffering?" Liu Shan asked.

Ye Fan smiled and nodded. No one knew what kind of pressure he had been under. Outsiders had always said that he was a useless person. Liu Shan and Pang Bo had already opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, but he was the only one who could not sense the Sea of ​​Bitterness. He was almost in despair, thinking that he was really a useless person and could not practice.

Fortunately, Liu Shan asked him to take the Hundred Herb Liquid continuously, and he finally embarked on the path of cultivation and became a real cultivator.

In the following days, Liu Shan took the remaining Hundred Herbs Liquid and the sacred spring water he brought out from the ancient holy land, and finally expanded the sea of ​​bitterness, which was the size of a grain of rice, to the size of a fingernail.

On this day, Elder Wu Qingfeng sent a message that he was going to lead a team personally to collect herbs in the primitive ruins outside Lingxu Cave.

The three people were notified because he wanted to take them with him to gain some experience. The three of them also understood what Elder Wu Qingfeng meant and were willing to go together to gain some experience.

In the primitive ruins, ancient trees towered up to the sky, and in the distance, one could hear the roars of beasts. In the sky, one could see strange beasts circling. Everyone entered the ruins carefully.

“Don’t pick herbs that are too young, and don’t go deep to pick rare and exotic herbs.”

"Be careful not to go too deep. There are countless ferocious beasts and strange birds in the depths of the ruins. Even if we go deep, we will not escape death." Wu Qingfeng and another elder warned.

"Puff." Just after he finished giving the instructions, a giant python suddenly appeared and sprayed colorful mist towards a disciple. Instantly, the disciple screamed and then turned into a pile of bones. The surrounding plants and trees covered by the mist also withered.

Seeing the tragic scene in front of her, a female disciple stepped forward and a divine light flew out from the sea of ​​suffering, as fast as lightning. She cut the giant python into two pieces, then stepped forward and skillfully took out the giant python's lining from the snake's belly, and then exchanged it for a bottle of Baicao Liquid from the elder.

As long as you collect herbs and the essence of flesh and blood from exotic beasts outside, you can go to the elders to exchange them for Hundred Herb Liquid.

After the two elders gave some more instructions, everyone dispersed.
