Legend of the Monster
194 Chapter. Climbing the Mountain Through the Valley
When it came to the mission reception venue, Shen Tu Jiang and his companions furrowed their brows as they felt the aura of Ling Tian's existence had disappeared.
"It looks like we're late. Ling Tian's trash had already escaped again," Shen Tu Jiang's beaver glanced left and right to check on the surroundings.
"Could he have known about our plan?" Qingxue asked in a tone of astonishment.
"I'm sure that Ling Tian's trash doesn't know our plan. Because, last night I did not feel his aura approaching my residence," Shen Tu Jiang replied solemnly. "I feel like he's deliberately keeping his distance from us. Perhaps from the very beginning of his time at the competition venue he had heard that we were very interested in his movement technique."
"Mmc ... It could be like that," Ming Cheng replied as he nodded slowly.
"So, what should we do?" nalan Peng asked while narrowing his eyes without hiding the anger contained in his words.
"Let's investigate in advance what Ling Tian did in this place. Maybe he took on a mission to earn contribution points." Ming Cheng gave advice to Shen Tu Jiang and the others.
"Yes! Let's go check it out!" shen Tu Jiang replied briefly.
They all rushed into the mission reception hall to find out if Ling Tian had taken on a mission for himself.

Ling Tian continued to dart extremely fast towards one of the valleys closest to the area where the Inner Disciples lived. After arriving, he instantly circulated his spiritual senses to examine the entire area of the valley.
A moment later, Ling Tian could only bitterly smile knowing that there was not a single Star Spirit Grass in the valley. Immediately, Ling Tian rushed towards the other valley in hopes of finding the Star Spirit Grass there.
"Huuha ... In this place was not even his Star Spirit Grass," Ling Tian grumbled in a tone full of disappointment.
"Hmmm ... There's no ...."
"Acity ... In this valley there is also no ...."
"Why is this valley so poor. Even his Spirit Plants were only at a low quality."
Ling Tian continued to grumble and complain when he found out that inside every valley he had examined did not have the Star Spirit Grass.
Time passed quickly too. Without feeling the sun was almost setting. Ling Tian had also inspected all the valleys that were in the Inner Disciple region part, the Poison Mist Sect. However, he only found a few poisonous Spirit Plants that were on his mission list. As for the Star Spirit Grass he was looking for it was really not there.
In front of Ling Tian right now was a tall and quite large mountain. According to what has been explained by the three Elders who drove them to the residence of the Inner Disciples, that the mountain is the border between the Inner Disciple region and the Core Disciple region.
The Elders strongly forbade all Inner Disciples to enter the Core Disciple realm because there was a very dangerous place for those whose cultivation level was only at the Diamond Star stage.
Other than the Spirit Beasts in that place could kill them, there was also another danger that came from the Core Disciples who had an evil and extremely hostile nature.
"Hmmm ... Core Disciple Region huh?!" ling Tian muttered with a small smile, then continued, "Hehehe ... Then, let's see what danger they can pose to me."
With his spiritual senses, Ling Tian had indeed detected the presence of several level five Spirit Beasts when he had been at the Core Disciple realm. However, the cultivation levels of all these Spirit Stars were only at the first stage of the Earth Star and it would not harm Ling Tian in the slightest. Because to him, all those Spirit Beasts were just like an ant in his eyes.
After entering the Core Disciple realm, Ling Tian turned his head left and right to look for a valley that might contain Star Spirit Grass within.
"Hmmm ... I'll start with that valley over there!" ling Tian muttered softly, then disappeared from his place.
In just an instant, Ling Tian was already inside the valley. Several Spirit Plants that could be used as pill ingredients as well as poisonous Spirit Plants had been detected by his spiritual senses. However, again Ling Tian did not find the Star Spirit Grass to be there.
Despite this, Ling Tian still took all those Spirit Plants as they were all extremely useful and had quite good qualities.
"Let's try that valley over there!" Ling Tian spoke to himself as if to raise his spirit even though it was likely that the valley did not have any Star Spirit Grass in it either.
That thing is true. Once again Ling Tian was disappointed and could only smile wryly upon learning that there was not a single trace of the Star Spirit Grass within the valley.
"Hwdnt ... Looking for this Star Spirit Grass was like looking for a needle in a haystack." Ling Tian exhaled deeply to dispel the disappointment in his heart. After pondering for a while, he continued with a soft laugh while patting his chest, "Hehehe ... Let alone in the haystack, even the needle that fell into the ocean would I look for if it could increase my cultivation. I will only humiliate my title as the most handsome man in the Sky Continent if I give up on this state."
Ling Tian flew again into the other valley. Although it was already night and very dark, Ling Tian had yet to stop his search for the Star Spirit Grass.

Within the mountains that were shrouded in a thin mist, there was the sound of an extremely fierce fight. Two cultivators were fighting against a Spirit Beast. One of them was a female cultivator.
"Sister Qian Qian, don't let your guard down! Beware of the poison from this Five-Line Piton," exclaimed the male cultivator to give a warning to the female cultivator who was not far away from him.
"You too, brother Xifeng!" shouted the female cultivator who was summoned as Qian Qian's sister.
Both of them continued to launch their strongest attacks against the Spirit Beast which was a huge snake with a length of about 50 meters. It was a Spirit Beast that was referred to as the Five-Line Piton.
The five lines on the python's body were white, indicating that the python was young and the cultivation level was the same as the two cultivators attacking it, it is in the first stage of the Earth Star. The five lines also indicated that the python was a fifth level Spirit Beast.
The battle continues. On the body of the Five Lines Piton appeared several puncture wounds as well as sword slashes from the two cultivators. Nonetheless, the body of the Five-Line Piton was extremely hard. So that the injuries are not too influential and endanger him. However, it remained that his movement speed was slightly slower than the previous one.
"Sister Qian Qian! This is our chance. The movement of the Five-Line Piton is slowing down. Attack in full force at the vital points on the back. I'll attack him from the front." Once again the male cultivator named Xifeng exclaimed giving orders.
"Mmmm!" The cultivator named Qian Qian answered him with a firm nod.
The Five-Line Piton that understood with its second purpose immediately spewed out poison from its mouth that was a yellow viscous liquid towards them. The poison is like sulfur and is deadly.
Both of them deftly evaded because they knew the consequences of the poison. If it was exposed on the body of a cultivator who had a cultivation level at the first stage of the Earth Star, his body would melt if it did not quickly swallow the antidote.
