Chapter 352: Strongly Demanding Yellow Essence

After hearing these words, Fang Lie immediately replied with annoyance, "Do you even need to sense it? I’ve seen it long ago!"

Clearly, Fang Lie’s Earth Eye Divine Skill is exceptional at searching; there is almost nothing on the ground that can escape his gaze.

In fact, he discovered the so-called Little Yellow from hundreds of miles away.

This little creature’s situation was quite terrible; a monk in his thirties tightly held it in his hands, grinning maliciously. His terrifying expression looked nothing like a practitioner; he seemed more like a demon from hell!

Little Yellow could no longer maintain its demon form and had reverted to its original shape—a somewhat over a foot-long, arm-thick Yellow Essence.

It was evident that it was over ten thousand years old, with incredibly potent medicinal properties. Moreover, having attained spiritual understanding, it looked almost like a human-shaped plant with complete facial features and all limbs.

Unfortunately, it had lost its right leg, and from the break, it was clear that it had been forcibly severed.

The body-restored Little Yellow could still move, but it could only squirm and cry out, with no way out.

The monk was seemingly interrogating it, but Little Yellow refused to speak, leading to such treatment.

As Fang Lie rushed over at top speed, he stumbled upon a truly horrifying scene.

The monk sneered, saying, "Little brat, if you don’t tell me where the other Flower Demons are, I, Buddha, will eat you bite by bite!"

"You can eat me, but I won’t tell! I won’t betray my friends!" Little Yellow cried loudly.

"Damned scoundrel, I’m hungry too! After the battle outside, I’ve spent a lot of Magic, and eating you will do just fine! I can’t imagine that eating your limbs would kill you; as long as you have one breath left, I can offer you up as a sect mission—enough already, right? Hahaha!" As he spoke, the monk opened his mouth again, about to take a bite out of Little Yellow’s other leg.

At that moment, Fang Lie finally arrived and yelled, "Bald devil, shut up!"

With his powerful shout, Fang Lie descended from the air, closing the distance to the monk, only a few dozen yards away.

That was quite far for ordinary people, but for Cultivators, it was extremely dangerous—almost any divine skill could reach in an instant.

The monk didn’t expect anyone to appear, so he was startled and immediately stopped his intention to devour Little Yellow. Instead, he quickly unleashed a protective Buddhist light before turning to see that the newcomer was Fang Lie.

"Ah~ it’s you!" Seeing Fang Lie, the monk was greatly surprised and immediately became more cautious.

Although his cultivation was already at the Golden Pool realm, one level higher than Fang Lie, in front of a fearsome person like Fang Lie, the level of cultivation mattered little.

With the Grand Banquet by the Sea and Sky concluded, various second generation immortals relayed the news of Fang Lie’s might to others.

First, he killed True Young Master, then decimated Bailongzi.

Fang Lie’s power and decisiveness were no less than his father’s back in the day.

This made Fang Lie’s fearsome reputation spread widely; many recognized that this young man’s combat strength could compete with the Fire Tribulation Immortal, surpassing even the core disciples of the major sects!

Although legends claimed Fang Lie’s Qi Sea was only about a hundred miles, much weaker compared to those Talents, his achievements spoke for themselves.

True Young Master and Bailongzi, both core disciples of major sects with incredible cultivation, nonetheless fell to Fang Lie’s hands.

One incident could be deemed as an accident, but two would certainly not be, thus creating such consensus.

Furthermore, today, the monk personally witnessed Fang Lie’s terrifying combat strength, first silently killing True Young Master and then decisively destroying White Bone Sect’s Seventh-rank warship, causing even their Fire Tribulation Immortal to panic!

In this situation, even if the monk was a level higher in cultivation, he still viewed Fang Lie as a tiger.

Clearly, he could not assess the true power of this place, nor did he know that using forces beyond the Golden Pool level here would invite divine punishment.

In this case, he would have a better chance of winning if he fought Fang Lie.

However, the imbalance of information caused the monk to fear before the battle even began, leaving him without any battle intent. Had he not feared humiliation, he would have wanted to flee immediately!

"Fang Lie~ we have our own matters, and I haven’t provoked you!" the monk said weakly.

"You sect provoked me!" Fang Lie squinted his eyes and said coldly.

"That’s a matter of the sect; I can’t stop it," the monk replied helplessly.

"Hmph~" Fang Lie snorted, glancing at the little yellow in the monk’s hand, and frowned, "You really are heartless, it already has intelligence and bites when it opens its mouth. Doesn’t your Buddhist say that all beings are equal and that they have great compassion? How come I don’t see an ounce of kindness from you?"

"This~" The monk’s face immediately turned red, unsure of how to explain.

Little Hong couldn’t hold back any longer; she angrily yelled, "You bad person! Why do you treat Little Yellow this way? He hasn’t harmed you! Little Yellow, little Yellow, are you okay?"

"Little Hong, is that you?" Little Yellow was surprised to see her and said, "Why are you here too? Were you caught as well? How unfortunate! On the very first day, we got caught by an outsider demon!"

"Little Hong, listen to me. We can die, but we absolutely cannot betray our companions! We must notify them to quickly change their hiding place, and definitely not to get caught!" Little Yellow urgently advised.

"Shut up!" The monk tightly grabbed Little Yellow and threatened, "If you say another word, do you believe I will crush you immediately?"

"How terrible! You are so wicked!" Little Hong immediately grabbed Fang Lie’s hand and said, "Brother, please save Little Yellow! He’s about to be strangled!"

Then she quickly turned to Little Yellow and said, "Little Yellow, hold on. This is my brother; he is a good person. He didn’t capture me and will help to rescue you!"

"Isn’t that right, brother?" Little Hong looked at Fang Lie with a pleading expression.

Seeing Little Hong’s scared, worried, and pleading look, Fang Lie felt a wave of compassion. He immediately nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I, Fang Lie, have never gone back on my word. If you don’t believe me, you can ask that guy over there!"

Fang Lie then smiled and said, "Monk, tell this little Hong how our Fang family’s reputation is?"

"Honest and straightforward, they keep their word!" the monk replied helplessly. "I admit, your Fang family has been upright for generations!"

"Hehe, that’s true!" Fang Lie laughed and said, "Since you spoke the truth, I will give you a way out. Put down the Yellow Essence in your hand, and then you can leave!"

"Do you want to rob me?" the monk suddenly became furious. "As a righteous sect, isn’t this inappropriate?"

"Less nonsense, this isn’t robbery; it’s saving innocent beings!" Fang Lie squinted and said, "I’m helping you do good deeds; don’t the Buddhists say that evil-doers will go to the Abysmal Hell? I’m sure you wouldn’t want that, right?"

"You~" The monk’s face turned green with anger.

As he saw Fang Lie’s aggressive aura, he knew this matter wouldn’t end well. However, he feared Fang Lie and didn’t dare to fight back, so he made up his mind to escape unexpectedly.

Seeing his eager expression, Fang Lie smiled and said, "Master, if I were you, I wouldn’t run. Do you see my wings? The Divine Phoenix Golden Wings are the fastest! Even the Purple Palace Immortal cannot fly as fast as me. Besides, even if you could fly fast, you won’t outrun a True Young Master. I could blow up a major sect’s Core Inner Gate Disciple from fifty thousand miles away with a single shot; do you really think you can escape under my aim?"

"This~" The monk broke out in cold sweat upon hearing this. He quickly recalled how tragically that True Young Master died today, and he no longer dared to cling to any hopes of escaping, reluctantly saying, "If I put it down, I can really live?"

"The promise of the Fang family is like a golden signboard!" Fang Lie said proudly, "If you don’t believe what I say, who else will you believe?"

"This~" The monk’s expression changed several times, then he stomped his foot and threw the Yellow Essence to Fang Lie, saying, "I’ll trust you once, goodbye!"

After speaking, the monk immediately soared into the sky, slowly flying away while remaining on guard.

However, Fang Lie didn’t make a move and allowed him to leave. A small character like him certainly didn’t deserve Fang Lie to break his promise!

Once the monk left, Fang Lie took out a Wood Element Essence Pill, crushed it, and applied it to Little Yellow’s wounds. Then he handed it to Little Hong, smiling, "Here you go, I have fulfilled my promise to the letter!"

"Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!" Little Hong hugged Little Yellow and joyously cried, "Little Hong loves her brother!"

Fang Lie felt a headache from this, but he knew he couldn’t take these little demons seriously.

Meanwhile, Little Hong focused entirely on Little Yellow. She gently placed him on the ground, then pointed her hand, and he was securely planted there.

With her hands continuously waving, the surrounding wood element Spiritual Energy gathered from all directions, quickly creating a place rich in Spiritual Energy.

Watching from the side, Fang Lie was filled with unexpected delight. Truly, the essence of vegetation naturally possesses this powerful innate talent to gather wood element Spiritual Energy.

Moreover, it seemed there was more to it; Fang Lie even clearly sensed that within this Spiritual Energy was a special vitality that was most suitable for plant growth. No wonder it could greatly speed up the growth of spirit pills!
