I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 598 Immortal Grass
After getting to know everyone, Jiang Wen had gotten to know them all quite well.

The four-armed monster was named Xuan Jue, and he was a member of the four-armed tribe in the Baixi clan.

The one with a massive body and muscles like stubborn rocks was named Yan Ming, a member of the Rock People tribe within the Baixi clan. The remaining individuals were also members of the Baixi clan, from various different tribes.

They came out to follow the Holy Maiden to the Land of Fallen Immortals for trials, and will return to the Hundred Creeks tribe after the trials are completed.

As for the Baixi tribe, it is one of the four major tribes in this Fallen Immortal Land, on par with the Baiyi, Baiman, and Baihai tribes. They have lived in the protected land of the Fallen Immortal Land for tens of thousands of years.

Jiang Wen was very interested in these anecdotes, and the people of the Baixi tribe also loved to boast. Since someone was willing to listen, they were naturally happy to chatter on. Without much effort, Jiang Wen obtained quite a bit of secret information.

Take, for example, the Land of Fallen Immortals. It's called the Land of Fallen Immortals because there are truly fallen immortals here. The Land of Fallen Immortals is of unknown size; even the four great tribes have not explored it all in ten thousand years. It is said that this place is constantly changing, and even familiar paths can become unfamiliar.

Therefore, getting lost in the Land of Fallen Immortals is extremely dangerous, as it means death.

However, no matter how unpredictable the Land of Fallen Immortals may be, the four major tribes still have ways to find a way out.

At this point, everyone gestured for Jiang Wen to look at the two sitting saintesses.

Yan Renyan whispered in Jiang Wen's ear, "The Holy Maiden is connected to the tribe's sacrificial cauldron and can sense its location. So, if we want to leave the Fallen Immortal Land, we have to rely on the Holy Maiden. However, if we stay here for too long, the Holy Maiden may lose herself. Sigh, I'm thinking about when I can go back now, afraid that I'll perish in this Fallen Immortal Land."

"Tch, it's just that the two holy maidens were greedy and wanted to pick some immortal herbs. Otherwise, we would have gone back long ago," another young man complained.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wen was about to ask what the immortal herb was when the two holy maidens spoke up and reprimanded, "Quiet!"

After he finished speaking, no one dared to utter a sound. Jiang Wen sensed something and also remained silent.

Silence enveloped the crowd, and a chilling mist of blood descended.

The flickering campfire seemed precarious, as if it could go out at any moment.

The four-armed monster Xuan Jue's expression changed. He pulled out several fist-sized black stones from behind him and threw them into the campfire. Only after rekindling the flickering fire did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The two holy maidens opened their eyes and made strange, synchronized gestures. Their faces were expressionless, and they danced wildly, somewhat resembling the kind of shamanistic dances Jiang Wen had once seen.

These movements are filled with an eerie beauty, as if they are a sacrifice to something nameless.

Their lips trembled, and their faces gradually turned deathly pale. They bowed down to the ground in worship, and when they looked up again, two streams of bloody tears were streaming from their eyes.

call--

The blood mist grew thicker, and one could vaguely feel the earth trembling.

Everyone bit their lips, afraid to make a sound, as if afraid of being noticed by something.

call--

huh-huh-

A bone-chilling sensation came over Jiang Wen, and he sensed something getting closer and closer.

The moment his divine sense clearly perceived the situation, a massive white skeletal skull emerged from the blood mist. Its empty eyes revealed nothing, and the bones, covered in rotting flesh and tentacles, exuded immense terror.

The head was enormous, like a hill.

It looked down over the campfire, seemingly searching for something.

On the ground, besides the crowd with their faces tightly shut, only two holy maidens, their tears of blood streaming down their faces, prostrated themselves in worship.

Of course, this did not include Jiang Wen and Liang Yuan. Jiang Wen had already sensed the presence of this skeletal monster even before it arrived.

This skeletal monster possessed astonishing power, even surprising Jiang Wen. Although it was far inferior to the giant spirit god, it represented a hopeless existence for everyone present.

If he were to confront such a strange creature, Jiang Wen was confident he could annihilate it using his Dharma Body Technique. Unfortunately, he didn't have much merit to spare, so it wasn't worth wasting it here.

Even if this strange creature attacks, he has a way to escape.

However, we'll have to wait and see. Jiang Wen believes that the Baixi tribe has a way to avoid the strange creatures in the Fallen Immortal Land.

The skeleton surveyed the area but seemed to find nothing.

The hundreds-of-foot-tall body stepped across the campfire, carrying countless blackened corpses with it.

Only when the thick blood mist dissipated and there were no more corpses around did everyone recover from the shock, panting heavily.

The two holy maidens, at this moment, were exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

Yanming Xuanjue and the others quickly stepped forward to help him up, and then took out a pitch-black object from their bag and peeled it open.

Jiang Wen recognized the object; it was the spiritual item containing spiritual energy that he had collected before. He hadn't expected that the Baixi tribe already knew about this and could even use it to heal injuries.

They took out a piece of white flesh from the black object and stuffed it into the mouths of the two saintesses.

Before long, the saintess slowly woke up, and her blood-red eyes gradually returned to normal.

They coughed lightly, then said with lingering fear, "A fallen immortal, that's a fallen immortal."

"If it weren't for the protection of the two Holy Maidens, we would probably have all been discovered by this Fallen Immortal," the crowd said respectfully. "The Land of Fallen Immortals is becoming increasingly dangerous; the two Holy Maidens should return as soon as possible."

"But we haven't collected enough immortal herbs yet. If we go back now, we'll probably have a hard time explaining ourselves." The younger saintess sighed helplessly. A look of bitterness appeared on her youthful and beautiful face, unlike her previous indifferent demeanor.

“With the presence of fallen immortals, this place is no longer safe. We can still collect the immortal herbs later, but if they are tainted by fallen immortals, then we will truly be doomed.” Yanming earnestly advised.

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Wen understood the purpose of the two holy maidens' journey. Both were after the dark object imbued with spiritual energy, which was why they had risked their lives to come to the Fallen Immortal Land. If they didn't gather enough spiritual items to take back, they would likely face some form of punishment, which was why they had to remain in the Fallen Immortal Land.

Seeing what the Baixi tribesmen were holding, Jiang Wen subconsciously glanced at his storage bag. He hadn't picked many of these plants, but there were still a few. After all, they looked rather strange at the time, so he had stored everything from that pool of black water into his storage bag.

It's quite unexpected that the people of Baixi call this thing a "miracle herb".

Then, remembering that he still needed to blend in with the Baixi tribe, he quietly took out a few black plants and wrapped them in something rough.

Once the people of Baixi had calmed down a bit, Jiang Wen went up to them.

“I just overheard you talking about the immortal herbs, and I happened to have picked some myself. If you don’t mind, why don’t you use my share for the task?” Jiang Wen said, shaking the immortal herbs out in front of the two holy maidens.

The two holy maidens looked at the immortal herbs, and their gazes immediately focused on these few immortal herbs.

"This, this is."

"This is a Celestial Mystic Herb!"

The slightly younger saintess exclaimed, a look of astonishment appearing on her usually indifferent face.

"Celestial Mystic Grass? What's that? Is it very precious?" Jiang Wen asked, puzzled by Bai Xiren's astonished expression.
