cloth.Sang Xiang used Bone-Crushing Palm, the black-clad person’s arm bones were immediately dissipated. In that moment, he experienced the pain of ants gnawing at his bones, and it erupted instantly...The 1st Chapter: Hell Ginseng
Dark clouds hung in the sky, accompanied by occasional lightning and thudding thunder. A heavy rain was on its way.
In Wohu City, Shen Xiang looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "I can't hold on any longer. I need to find a good magic herb as soon as possible, or I'll have no chance for a comeback."
At sixteen years old, Shen Xiang had a sturdy and towering build that stood out among his peers. His face, which was adorned with baby-fat, contrasted sharply with his deep and mature eyes that didn't match his age. He was more like an adult than a teenager, with his profound gaze.
Shen Xiang was planning to go gather herbs. Being the grandson of the family head, he hadn't been able to become an expert warrior due to his lack of spirit veins. As such, he had trained hard from a young age and often went out for secret training. He even fought with tigers, showing that despite his young age, he had experienced several life-threatening situations. His temper and willpower surpassed those of his peers.
"Is this Shen Xiang It's about to rain heavily, and yet he wants to train" An old butler walked by him. Seeing Shen Xiang's determination, he admired him, but regret could be seen in his eyes.
Shen Xiang trained diligently every day for six years but had only advanced to the third level of ordinary martial arts, while most other Shen family members his age had entered the fourth level, and even more advanced to the fifth.
Everything was because he didn't have a spirit vein, which made him less valued by the family. Now, he was just an ordinary person in Shen's family.
Although he didn't have a spirit vein, Shen Xiang never lost heart and continued to train hard. At least the process of effort made him feel fulfilled.
"Old Ma, I'm going to gather herbs." Shen Xiang ran behind the old butler and laughed as he grabbed hold of his scalp.
"Useless, you don't have a spirit vein. No matter how hard you work, it won't help!" The old butler shook his head in disappointment.
Although Shen Xiang had heard such words countless times, he still persisted. No matter what, he wouldn't give up.
"Young Xiang, don't go out in the rain like this!" A middle-aged man walked over then.
Shen Xiang pouted and said, "Old dad, gathering herbs on a rainy day is a good opportunity. At least I don't have to fight hard with others for resources."
The middle-aged man's name was Shen Tianhu, and he was Shen Xiang's father. He was a powerful warrior who had moved many people and the most promising successor to lead the next generation of Shen's family. Although his son didn't have a spirit vein, he always encouraged Shen Xiang and often gave him precious medicinal pills. However, it didn't help much.
"Take this," Shen Tianhu said with a helpless smile, tossing over a small box.
Shen Xiang took the box and didn't bother looking at its contents. He knew what was inside already and said, "Thank you, old dad. I don't have to steal Old Man Ma's chickens for nourishment anymore."
This made the butler, Old Ma, feel bitter. He didn't expect himself to be targeted.
Seeing the back of Shen Xiang disappear, Shen Tianhu could only sigh. Although he had a high position in the Shen family, the elders were very strict about managing rare and precious cultivation resources like medicinal pills. He could only spare some for Shen Xiang, but it didn't make much of a difference because there weren't many medicinal pills.
Being a father, who wouldn't want their child to succeed However, Shen Tianhu couldn't help his son, but he tried his best and sought medicinal pills for him.
…
Spirit and Demon Cliff, this was a very desolate place. However, at that moment, there was a young man climbing the cliff without clothes on.
It was raining heavily, and Shen Xiang was climbing the cliff in such weather, which was very dangerous. You see, Spirit and Demon Cliff was deep beyond sight at the bottom, and below it was a dense black aura with death energy pervasive. That's why many people didn't want to get close to this place.
But Shen Xiang came here to gather herbs and climbed the cliff slowly downward. If others knew, they would ridicule him as a reckless madman because no one knew about any good magic herbs in such a place known for bird feces and heavy death energy.
Shen Xiang wasn't foolish. He knew Spirit and Demon Cliff had existed for many years, especially the death energy below it, which no one knew how long ago they existed.
In normal people's cognition, lifeless places had no magic herbs, but Shen Xiang didn't agree. He knew the principle of reaching extremes would turn around, and he was very confident that there must be a famous magic herb on the cliff walls.
The "Hell Ginseng" was a frightening sounding name, but it had the power to bring back dead bones and flesh. It usually grew in ancient battlefields, graveyards, places with overwhelming death energy, making it a rare magical herb.
Heavy rain could make the black aura sink down, allowing Shen Xiang to see deeper into the cliff walls. That's why he went to deeper parts, hoping to find the "Hell Ginseng".
Although he didn't need Hell Ginseng, selling it would definitely bring him many precious medicinal pills that could help him get out of his difficult situation and become a powerful expert.
Pellets of rain hit Shen Xiang's body, making him feel very uncomfortable. Meanwhile, the rocks on the cliff became slicker from his sweat, making him more cautious as he climbed down carefully.
No one knew what was below Spirit and Demon Cliff, although many people had gone down before but none of them could return. Falling meant death!
An hour and a half passed, and it was still raining heavily. With his robust physique trained through years of exercise, Shen Xiang managed to descend deep into the cliff walls.
Shen Xiang found a good place to land and carefully observed below. Suddenly, he saw something that made his heart race with excitement.
"Hell Ginseng!" Shen Xiang shouted in excitement, his eyes fixated on the white substance tightly attached to the cliff wall. He was very certain that it was indeed the legendary Hell Ginseng.
The area below was always covered in black death energy, and Hell Ginseng's color resembled the cliff walls. It was hard to notice.
Shen Xiang was thrilled, but he remained calm and rested for a moment before slowly climbing down.
Soon, he arrived beside the Hell Ginseng and swallowed his saliva. He looked at the large white Hell Ginseng, still feeling its vigorous vitality emanating from it.
Shen Xiang could only use one hand to gather the Hell Ginseng. He estimated that it was over a thousand years old, and selling it would fetch astronomical prices.
Shen Xiang put in a lot of effort to gather the Ginseng, then placed it in his precious storage bag. He grinned, "Haha, my time to turn around as a dead fish has come!"
As long as he sold the Hell Ginseng, he could buy many medicinal pills of good quality. He would then be able to make a rapid advancement!
The rain gradually became lighter, and Shen Xiang was satisfied. He didn't continue searching the huge cliff walls but chose to climb up instead, his strength being limited and climbing up being very exhausting and dangerous.
After half an hour, he felt the cliff wall trembling slightly. Shen Xiang was alarmed and immediately realized something was wrong. He looked upward, only to see many small stones falling from the cliff wall and plunging into the bottomless abyss. The tremor of the cliff wall became more intense.
"Damn, I just got Hell Ginseng, don't mess with me, heaven!" Suddenly realizing an earthquake-like tremor, Shen Xiang couldn't help but curse.
He had to remain calm and tightly grasp the uneven cliff wall. Otherwise, he would be thrown down.
The escalating tremors made Shen Xiang increasingly desperate. Suddenly, he saw larger stones falling from above, and he noticed cracks forming on the rocks that he was holding onto.
"God, I just got Hell Ginseng and you want to send me down hell. Are you kidding me" Shen Xiang couldn't help but curse, and at the same time, black smoke rose from below. Suddenly, Shen Xiang's rock broke apart…
"Ah—" Shen Xiang's body plunged into the black smoke-filled abyss, his voice echoing in the darkness below him…
Don't know how long passed, Shen Xiang opened his eyes and surprisingly saw light. This was the bottom of a crevasse, but what amazed him most was that he was actually underwater!
Shen Xiang floated to the surface, his place being a pond filled with holy white light.
What stunned Shen Xiang most was that two beautiful women with wild hair sitting next to him were wearing nothing at all. Two flawless porcelain-like bodies were exposed in front of him without any reservation!
The two nude women looked like they were carved out of jade, without any flaws. Their breasts were full and firm, their waists delicate, making them look beautiful to the extreme… This was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
The shocking image made Shen Xiang's whole body freeze, his face turning red with embarrassment. His heartbeat and breathing seemed to have stopped!
The two women were sitting cross-legged, looking at each other without realizing Shen Xiang's presence. This made Shen Xiang feel humiliated, being ignored by the two beauties.
After a moment of distraction, Shen Xiang saw that the bottom of the crevasse was in ruins, full of cracks and depressions. Broken stones were scattered everywhere, with many white silk threads among them, making him guess that they had probably fought before. He speculated it was the two beauties' fight causing their clothes to be torn apart.
Although Shen Xiang didn't know why these two stunningly beautiful women would fight in the crevasse below, he could see that they were very strong and beyond his comprehension level. They had even been able to create earthquakes and shake mountains.
"Women are really a disaster, shaking me down. Luckily, I'm still alive and didn't die from falling!" Shen Xiang cursed inwardly, although he was quite curious about these mysterious women.
Shen Xiang stared blankly at the two flawless bodies, then walked slowly towards them.
The crevasse beside Spirit and Demon Cliff was called Hell, but at this moment, Shen Xiang staying below the "Hell" felt like being in a fairyland. The pond exuded holy white light, and importantly, there were two naked beautiful women beside the water.
The two women finally realized that there was a pair of hot eyes scanning them nearby, making them feel extremely embarrassed and angry.ader unless those who coveted the position of leader had their heads kicked by a donkey."Ancient wasteland demon gate issued Demon God令 to arrest me, I'll let you know now what kind of price you have...
