"We're just waiting. It's a pity that you guys ran into me due to bad luck!"

Ye Zichen used his big soul hands to shatter their soul bodies, then he immediately plucked all the leaves. His body flashed, then disappeared from the valley, while he continued to search for other needed herbs in the vast Ancient Medicine Mountain.

"So many restrictions. The difficulty level of the Heavenly Palace's selection competition is indeed not small!"

"Whoosh!"

Ye Zichen's body flashed, then drew out a black light in the air, which quickly approached the withered ancient tree. Ye Zichen's body flashed, and drew out a black light in the air, then approached the withered ancient tree at an extremely fast speed.

If it was an ordinary fire seed, it would have already been extinguished by the crazy attacks of the tens of thousands of poisonous bugs that were not afraid of death. However, the Death Flame had reached the limit of the Heaven Flame, and the poisonous bugs that surged over did not pose any threat to Ye Zichen at all.

"What exactly is inside this ancient tree? It actually made these poisonous bugs risk their lives to prevent me from getting close to it."

Out of curiosity, Ye Zichen willed his soul to transform into a sword and hacked towards the withered ancient tree.

"Hm, what a strong and dry wood!"

Although Ye Chenfeng did not use his full strength in this attack, his soul was too strong. Even a Nirvana Realm's soul had to avoid this attack, but when it struck the dead tree, it was unable to break it. This caused Ye Chenfeng to frown and reveal a hint of shock.

At the same time, the poisonous bugs that blotted out the sky saw Ye Zichen take the initiative to attack the ancient tree, and were instantly enraged. They flapped their wings and attacked him ferociously as if they were crazy, intending to chase him away.

Ye Zichen controlled the Dead Flame Heaven Flames to block the dense venomous bugs' attacks, then increased his soul force to the limit, before turning it into a several hundred meter long soul sword once again. The majestic soul power dropped onto the tip of the sword, causing people to feel a sense of dread.

"Break for me!"

Ye Zichen shouted loudly. Then, his soul sword that was several tens of meters long hacked down like a meteorite falling to the ground, causing the entire space to tremble. No one could resist it.

"Crack!"

After receiving the strongest attack from Ye Chenfeng's soul, the incomparably hard and withered tree was instantly split into two, causing a surge of pure soul power to spread out.

"That is …"

The dead tree was split into two. Ye Zichen found a lot of milky-white, powerful soul power, and very viscous Jade Marrow hidden within the tree.

"This … could this be a divine object that can restore the soul through the Soul Replenishing Marrow!?"

Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows as he looked at the milky white pith in the tree. When he thought about the information he got from fusing with the soul fragment, he revealed a hint of surprise.

The Soul Replenishing Marrow was the soul marrow that had been bred by the Heaven and Earth Strange Tree Ghost Vine Soul Wood over a million years. It was worth as much as the soul liquid, and no matter how much soul damage one suffered, the Soul Replenishing Marrow could still repair it.

"No wonder there are so many high level alchemists and refiners willing to risk their lives to participate in the selection competition. This Ancient Medicine Mountain is truly filled with countless lucky chances. It even has such a wondrous item like the Soul-Rejuvenating Marrow!"

Ye Zichen released his terrifying soul power and shook to death the venomous bugs that were frantically fighting for the Soul Replenishing Marrow, then controlled his soul to slowly pull out the Soul Replenishing Marrow from the Ghost Vine Heavenly Soul Wood.

"Leave behind the Soul Replenishing Marrow!"

Suddenly, a greedy and furious roar came from far away. An old soul felt the Soul-Recovering Marrow filling the air and rushed over in the dense forest, wanting to snatch it away.

Ye Chenfeng did not budge in the face of his angry roar. He increased the power of his soul's absorption, and quickly sucked away all the Soul Replenishing Marrow from the withered Ghost Vine Sky Soul Wood.

"You're courting death!"

This old man clearly knew the value of Soul Suppressing Marrow. If he could obtain it, he would be willing to immediately withdraw from the Heavenly Palace's competition. In order to obtain the Soul Replenishing Marrow, he was willing to become the enemy of the world.

"Scram!"

Ye Zichen shouted out explosively. The Deathly Flame and his powerful soul power swept out, turning into a huge hand that burned with raging flames. He shattered the attack from the old soul with one palm and attacked towards the old man with his great power.

"Boom!"

The entire space trembled.

Although the old soul dodged the flaming hand that Ye Zichen turned into, his soul was still shaken by the waves of fire, causing him to fly dozens of meters before he managed to stabilize his soul.

"I am Nangong Clan's Nangong Zheng, and have been bitterly searching for the Soul Replenishing Marrow. If you are willing to give me half of the Soul Replenishing Marrow, when we leave here, I will definitely report to you!"

Nan Gong Zheng did not expect Ye Chenfeng's soul to be so strong. A single attack had damaged his soul body, so he instantly changed his expression several times, retracting his vicious aura, and spoke politely with a changed face.

"Nangong Zheng, I've never heard of it!" Ye Chenfeng said coldly, "I advise you to not provoke me, otherwise I can guarantee that you will regret it."

Although Nangong Zheng was being courteous, Ye Zichen knew that this was all based on the premise that his soul was far stronger than Nangong Zheng's. Otherwise, he would have killed him a long time ago to snatch the Soul-Rejuvenating Marrow.

"Sir, one more friend and one more path. If you are willing to give me one third of the Soul Replenishing Marrow, my Nangong Family is willing to form a good relationship with you. We are even willing to exchange it for a treasure!" Nangong Zheng suppressed the anger in his heart.

"I don't like to repeat myself. Come and pester me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Ye Chenfeng warned coldly. Under Nangong's furious gaze, he burned the poisonous bugs and flew off into the distance.

"Damn it, just you wait. The Nangong family must obtain something like the Soul-Returning Marrow." As he watched Ye Chenfeng leave, Nangong Zheng's gaze instantly turned cold as he swore in his heart.
