In the forest, the air was fresh and pleasant.

The sunlight shone through the dense foliage, speckling the ground.

On the ground, towering ancient trees were everywhere, towering into the clouds.

Under the ancient trees, shrubs grew, wild flowers bloomed, and in the emerald green grass, flower after flower adorned the valley as magnificent as a gem.

In this environment, Xu Fan's mood was naturally very good. He was leisurely walking through the forest.

"Eh? "This is Spirit Accumulation Grass!"

After walking a short distance, Xu Fan's face suddenly lit up. He discovered that a stalk of Spirit Accumulation Grass that was roughly thirty years old was growing within the nearby plants.

Spirit Accumulation Grass. It was a dark green color. It had five leaves and a wide top. The roots of the leaves were slightly narrow and had stems. If there was a stem, there would be more than ten types of grass. Spirit Accumulation Grass was the main medicinal herb used to refine Qi Cultivating Powder and Qi Training Pill. The older one was, the better the quality of the medicinal pills refined would be. Spirit Accumulation Grass at maturity was the best.

"No wonder the spiritual energy at the bottom of the cliff is much denser than the ones above, so there are actually spiritual herbs growing here, it seems that my luck is quite good, I never thought that there would be such a year of Spirit Accumulating Grass in this valley. NNND, I was just worrying about where I could find these spiritual herbs to refine pills, but who would have thought that I would find the main material needed to refine Qi Cultivating Powder and Qi Refining Pill here in the blink of an eye." However, he was still unable to refine any pills, so he could only transplant a stalk of spirit grass into the Seven Chaos Pagoda. He would use it in the future when he needed to. "Fortunately, we have a treasure like the Seven Chaos Pagoda. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have any other options. Even if we dug out this stalk of spirit grass, we would only be able to watch helplessly as it lost its properties."

Xu Fan was wild with joy. At the same time, he secretly calculated in his heart.

Xu Fan learned a lot about how to identify and collect spiritual herbs from the Mysterious Sky Supreme Alchemy Scripture. He knew that once the spiritual herbs were dug out, without those boxes, they would slowly lose their medicinal properties, as well as their spiritual power.

Xu Fan didn't immediately go dig for the Spirit Accumulation Grass, but instead carefully observed his surroundings. In the end, he was sure that he didn't discover any poisonous creatures from vicious beasts guarding the area, so he carefully walked over and transplanted this nearly thirty year old Spirit Accumulation Grass into the pagoda.

"It seems that spiritual herbs of this low quality aren't very rare in this valley. Otherwise, there would be poisonous beasts guarding this place. It seems that there must be even more spiritual herbs in the valley, so I'm in no hurry to leave."

After the transfer of the Spirit Accumulation Grass, Xu Fan's mind quickly began to spin.

With this thought, Xu Fan began to search around the valley. Very quickly, he found a nearby twenty year old Spirit Accumulation Grass and a Spirit Attraction Grass.

Spirit Attraction Grass was also required to refine Qi Cultivation Powder and Qi Training Pill. To grow Spirit Accumulation Grass to maturity required 30 years, but Spirit Drawing Grass only required 20 years. With the Spirit Attraction Grass as the main ingredient, the Qi Cultivation Powder could be refined.

With this Spirit Guiding Grass, he had already found all of the herbs needed to concoct Qi Refining Powder. As long as he went out, he would be able to find a cauldron or a pill furnace, and then find a place with a fire to open the furnace and refine pills.

He quickly moved the two stalks of Spirit Grass into the pagoda and started searching the valley once more.

Xu Fan searched along the valley for a few kilometers and found a total of ten or so spirit plants. Unfortunately, he only found two low level spirit plants, Spirit Attraction Grass and Spirit Accumulation Grass. Aside from the three spirit plants he had found earlier, which were a bit better, the rest were only around ten years old.

During the search, Xu Fan also discovered that the deeper he went into the valley, the greater the chance that spirit plants would appear. Afterwards, he discovered that the seven or eight Spirit Attraction Grass and Spirit Accumulation Grass were basically all found there.

In order to find more spiritual herbs, Xu Fan decided to concentrate his search in the direction of the valley.

"Damn, isn't that saltpeter?"

Two hours later, Xu Fan continued his search and arrived at a craggy location. He stared at the white, crystal-like rocks that were of different sizes and suddenly cried out in alarm.

The saltpeter was known as Flaming Nitrate, Potassium Nitrate, etc. It was colorless, white, or gray crystal, and had a glass luster. This was precisely what Xu Fan saw in front of him. The saltpeter could be used to treat illnesses, but it was used as the main ingredient to make black gunpowder. This usage was something that Xu Fan was very familiar with as a secret service agent in his previous life. As a secret service agent, crafting explosives was a compulsory course. In his previous life, Xu Fan had often used saltpeter to cram explosives.

"NND, it seems like explosives haven't appeared in this world yet, right? It seems like I can use the strength from my previous life. With gunpowder, I will have another method to protect my own life. "

It could be said that Xu Fan's eyes were shining. This was the first time he had seen something like this in his past life in the past half year he had been in the Profound Sky Continent.

He quickly ran up, and put all of the saltpeter in his head into the Primal Chaos Seven Stars Tower. After collecting several thousand pounds of saltpeter, he basically scraped all of the saltpeter.

After collecting the saltpeter, Xu Fan's heart was filled with joy. He once again continued his business of collecting saltpeter.

After walking along the pile of rocks for about a mile, Xu Fan suddenly discovered a small, bare mountain in front of him.

"Eh? Isn't this a volcano? "

Xu Fan was very knowledgeable. When he saw the gray dust at the foot of the mountain, he immediately understood that this was a dormant volcano.

"Hahaha, the heavens are truly helping me!"

Xu Fan couldn't contain his joy, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

Where there was a volcano, he could naturally find sulfur. He had already collected quite a bit of saltpeter, and sulfur was one of the ingredients to make black gunpowder. With these two things, black gunpowder was basically what it was.

Xu Fan was just about to rush over, when at this moment, from a shrubbery several dozen zhang to his left, there was a sudden flash and break. Amongst the shrubbery, demonic qi shot up to the sky!

Shortly after, a series of low growls from beasts could be heard.

"Vicious beasts?"

Xu Fan's mind immediately became nervous. He immediately stopped walking and stared fixedly at the place where the strange sound was coming from.

At this moment, Xu Fan suddenly remembered that he was in the depths of the forbidden mountain range that was divided into humans by the empire. It was said that there were many powerful beasts and demons lurking around, and they would hunt humans for food. Although Xu Fan had eaten a Rank 4 Demonic Beast before, in reality, he didn't even know it was a Demonic Beast. He subconsciously thought it was an ordinary wild beast, or at most a Vicious Beast.
