Chapter 589: Nanshan Forest

[Treasure.] Zhen Yuan transmitted as soon as they entered the Nanshan forest.

[What kind?] Shen Xu excitedly asked.

[It’s a plant but I am not sure what it is. It’s priceless though.] Zhen Yuan answered.

So far, the Chaos Flame Space had seven priceless trees: the world tree, the soul nourishing tree, the primordial qi tree, the Vitality tree, the divine lightning tree, the bodhi tree, and the Fusang tree.

The world tree was one of the seeds planted at the same time as the primordial qi tree and the soul nourishing fruit tree.

However, the level of the world tree was too high and even after hundreds of thousands of space years, the tree was still a seedling and was a long way from maturity.

As for the other trees, the primordial qi tree and the soul nourishing tree were mature, while the others were on their way to maturity.

Hearing that there would be another priceless plant, Shen Xu couldn’t help but be excited and subconciously hastened his steps.

[Where is it?] He asked.

[At the peak of the eighth mountain.] Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu nodded before turning to Ling Kai.

"Do you come to the Nanshan forest often?" He asked and the rabbit clansmen nodded.

"Nashan forest has many exotic plants. We often come here to collect fruits and seeds." Ling Kai said.

"What about monsters?" Shen Xu asked.

"There are some level thirteen monsters in the depths of the forest. We usually avoid going to those places." Ling Kai said but neither Shen Xu nor Zhen Yuan planned to avoid the depths.

After all, they were great immortal realm cultivators and could handle level thirteen monsters.

Additionally, they needed level thirteen meat not only for the food competition, but also for their own consumption.

"Which level thirteen monsters are in the depths?" Shen Xu asked and the rabbit clansmen couldn’t help but be shocked.

"You want to go?" One asked and Shen Xu nodded.

Although he and Zhen Yuan didn’t go out of their way to conceal their cultivation level, they also didn’t reveal it to the rabbit clansmen.

Because of this, the rabbit clansmen could only sense that the two were stronger than them, but they didn’t know the two people’s cultivation level.

"Aren’t you worried about encountering a level thirteen monster?" One of the clansmen asked and Shen Xu smiled.

’I am worried about not encountering one.’ He thought but didn’t say that.

Instead, he repeated his previous question and patiently waited for an answer.

"I heard that there is a level thirteen wild thorn red deer in the depths." Someone said.

"I have also heard about that deer. It is ferocious and its antlers are almost five metres wide."

"There is also the two-tail mink on the sixth mountain." Another said.

"And don’t forget red-feather Eagle on the third mountain."

"Seniors, It’s too dangerous to go into the depths." Ling Kai advised but Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan were more excited than afraid.

After all, the powerful monsters in other people’s stories were their future delicacies!

"There is no need for you to follow us inside. You can wait for us here." Shen Xu said and quickly continued when he saw that Ling Kai was about to argue.

"Don’t worry about the fifth princess. We will be out in six months." He promised and the rabbit clansmen had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

With that, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan separated from the group and rushed into the depths.

Nanshan forest had twelve monster mountains.

However, the mountains were short and all were covered with trees and other immortal plants.

[We only have six months.] Shen Xu stated and Zhen Yuan nodded.

[Let’s go to the eighth mountain first. We can think about other things after we get the treasure.] The man said and Shen Xu nodded in agreement.

However, he still released a number of puppets and let them go to other mountains to kill monsters and collect immortal grasses.

[Ayuan, I have been meaning to ask...] Shen Xu started and quickly continued.

[Can the soul nourishing wood replace the soul jade, and can the primordial qi wood replace the qi drawing stone?] He asked and Zhen Yuan smiled with a doting expression.

[You caught that!] He said and began explaining.

[Soul nourishing wood and primordial qi wood are inherently more precious than soul jade and a qi drawing stone. The rabbit clan’s reward is not enough to let us take those things out.] He said and Shen Xu understood.

He and Zhen Yuan had no shortage of treasures.

However, having them didn’t mean that they could randomly give them away.

First, revealing their wealth would attract greed and the two didn’t want to cause trouble for themselves.

Second, unequal exchange between themselves and the rabbit clan would result in a karmic relationship

Knowing this, Zhen Yuan chose to let the rabbit clan source their own materials so that the relationship would end when the transaction was completed.

[What should we do if they don’t get all the materials?] Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan frowned.

[We can choose to fill the hole if they have a shortfall, but they will need to increase their rewards.] Zhen Yuan said but hoped that it wouldn’t come to that.

[Either way, I want to buy some rare seeds from the rabbit clan.] Shen Xu said.

[Getting mature plants may be difficult but it shouldn’t be a problem to get seeds.] Zhen Yuan said and the double nodded.

[I think so too.] He said.

Because they were in a hurry, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan released their aura to intimidate the surrounding beasts and demon plants.

As a result, they walked smoothly and in the evening of the sixth day, they arrived at the foot of the eighth mountain.

[It’s here.] Zhen Yuan said and smiled.

[Can you tell what it is now that you can see its laws more clearly?] Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan nodded with a mysterious expression.

[Why don’t you guess?] He said and Shen Xu raised an eyebrow.

[Give me a hint.] He said.
