Hmm? What is that...?

Not long after delving into this area, Zhu Fei's Divine Sense detected a familiar Immortal Herb.

This herb shone like a mirror, its surface flawless, unmistakably the Traceless Immortal Grass Zhu Fei had been desperately searching for!

The sudden discovery delighted Zhu Fei immensely, as he never expected to find the Traceless Immortal Grass so soon after entering this place.

It seemed that his decision to come here was indeed the right one.

Without hesitation, Zhu Fei's figure flickered slightly, and he immediately reached out toward the Traceless Immortal Grass.

"Hiss—hiss—"

But just at that moment, a massive demon serpent, green all over and covered with barbed scales, suddenly lunged out from the shadows.

It opened its blood-red maw full of fangs, snapping directly at Zhu Fei's body!

"Humph! Courting death!"

Zhu Fei's eyes narrowed sharply as he brandished the Star Dream Moon Sword in his hand.

With a "puff," a black-and-white sword light slashed directly at the giant serpent's neck, beheading it on the spot!

For Zhu Fei, slaying a monster of Golden Immortal Early Stage required little effort, even in his less-than-optimal state.

But for anyone else, the thought of picking the Traceless Immortal Grass, or even surviving the serpent's attack, would be questionable.

After quickly absorbing the serpent's Demon Core, Zhu Fei approached the Traceless Immortal Grass, plucked it, and stored it in a jade box.

After a rough scan of the area, Zhu Fei did not linger but chose a direction and quickly vanished from the scene.

...

Three days later, inside an uninhabited cave.

Zhu Fei sat cross-legged, surrounded by a floor of Immortal Crystal powder.

Immortal Spirit Qi swirled around him, with rays of light continually appearing on his body. His aura was now that of a Golden Immortal Middle Stage Cultivator!

Indeed, ever since obtaining the Traceless Immortal Grass three days ago, Zhu Fei had resumed concocting the Expelling Dao Pill.

This time, Zhu Fei refined seven Expelling Dao Pills, two more than the last time.

And each pill reached the level of a superior grade Pill, with three achieving the level of Special Grade Pills.

Using the refined Expelling Dao Pills, Zhu Fei repaired his Dao injuries and then took out his previously acquired Immortal Crystals to continue his retreat in the time zone within the Divine Tripod Space.

During this retreat, Zhu Fei's cultivation broke through from the Golden Immortal Early Stage to the Golden Immortal Middle Stage.

He slowly opened his eyes, and as they flickered coldly, he looked at the scattered Immortal Crystal powder around him.

These weren't depleted from training but were used to support the Protective Array.

Judging by the situation, Zhu Fei could easily tell that during his retreat in the Divine Tripod Space, someone outside had been attacking his Protective Array.

And now, the array had indeed been breached.

"Haha! Senior Brother Hu truly deserves to be our Tongtian Academy genius. He managed to break this Array Formation Restriction in just three days. I'm truly impressed."

At that moment, a sycophantic voice congratulated from outside the cave.

Another voice followed, "You're too kind, Junior Brother Wang. I just happen to know array formation restrictions well. Otherwise, with the strength of this array, we couldn't have broken it entirely in just three days.

Come on, Junior Brother Wang, now that we've broken the formation restriction, let's head in quickly before it's too late."

"Right, Senior Brother Hu is right. Let's go in now."

As they spoke, Zhu Fei felt two fairly strong auras rushing towards his direction.

Noticing this, the chill in Zhu Fei's gaze deepened significantly.

Truth be told, without the intrusion on his array formation restriction, he wouldn't have emerged from retreat so soon.

With his resources, breaking through to the Late Stage Golden Immortal shouldn't be challenging.

But now, these two had disrupted everything.

There was no way Zhu Fei could not be angry about this.

Especially since going by their conversation, these two seemed to be from Tongtian Academy.

"Huh? Someone beat us here?"

The man called Junior Brother Wang suddenly voiced his surprise, quickly spotting Zhu Fei inside the cave.

In an instant, both figures, initially advancing rapidly, suddenly halted abruptly.

Their expressions, once excited, instantly darkened.

"Who are you? How did you get here before us? Speak! What did you find here? Hand it over for us to see!"

Junior Brother Wang couldn't hold back, his expression turning fierce as he harshly demanded answers from Zhu Fei.

To him, Zhu Fei seemed to be wearing ordinary clothes, certainly not a disciple of any Great Sect.

Therefore, he showed no reservations, his attitude was excessively hostile.

Zhu Fei hadn't expected such hostility from them as soon as they appeared.

Originally, although he was interrupted, and despite past grudges with Tongtian Academy, he would have refrained from involving unrelated disciples unnecessarily.

But now, given their inappropriate and reckless attitude, Zhu Fei's expression turned icy.

He sneered coldly, "And who do you think you are, to demand that I show you what I've obtained? Even if I have something, I won't give it to you. You two should leave immediately."

"How dare you! Insolent! Do you know who you're talking to? With your measly Golden Immortal Middle Stage cultivation, you dare speak loudly before us two Ancestor Immortals? Preposterous!"

Junior Brother Wang's eyes flashed with killing intent, and without warning, a vibrant green gourd flew out from above his head.

The gourd suddenly shone brightly, its mouth opening automatically, unleashing a flood of pungent green liquid rushing toward Zhu Fei like a violent wave!
