This is a canyon, tens of zhang wide, and more than ten li long, with steep stone walls on both sides.

Wang Erniu looked at the scene inside the canyon, somewhat hesitant.

Powerful Qi crisscrossed the canyon.

It churned up and down, darting back and forth, occasionally striking the stone walls on both sides, leaving marks.

It should be known that these stone walls on both sides are raw Iron Essence Ore, extremely tough, and difficult to damage even with a Qi Refining Cultivator controlling a Magical Artifact, which shows the power of this Powerful Qi.

However, only in such a place rich in Geng Metal Force Qi can spiritual objects that assist cultivators in Foundation Establishment be nurtured, the Geng Metal Sharp Qi.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Erniu made up his mind.

After all the hardships and risking his life to come here, wasn't it all for this Geng Metal Sharp Qi?

Now that the treasure is right before his eyes, if he were to retreat now, what kind of Sword Cultivator would he be, and what would be the point of tempering his Sword Heart?

Thinking of this, Wang Erniu's gaze became firm.

He patted his Storage Bag, and with a flash of light, a golden shield appeared around him.

"Top-Grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact!"

This was the treasure given to him by the Lin Family.

Although Sword Cultivators are devoted to the sword, ordinary treasures can still be used.

Once the golden shield was activated, it started spinning around him.

Yet this wasn't enough, Wang Erniu also took out and activated a Defense Talisman given by Zhou Xun.

A Tier Two Low-Grade Vajra Talisman.

A golden, semi-transparent light shield enveloped him.

With these two layers of defense, he felt somewhat secure.

Thus, braving the power of the Powerful Qi, he forcibly walked into the canyon.

The Powerful Qi struck the shield, constantly wearing down its power.

Fortunately, the power of the canyon's Powerful Qi was much weaker than that in the air.

Otherwise, with Wang Erniu's Peak Qi Refining cultivation, he likely wouldn't have been able to safely pass through.

After walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wang Erniu's golden shield dimmed, looking considerably damaged.

To avoid complete destruction of the shield, he had to put it away.

So the darting Powerful Qi directly struck the Vajra Light Shield on Wang Erniu's body, making sizzling sounds.

Without hesitation, Wang Erniu activated another talisman.

Two layers of light shield allowed him to relax and continue moving forward,

Turning a corner, he found a stone wall, with the entire canyon turning into a dead end here.

Below the stone wall, there was only a recessive pool about ten zhang in size.

The pool contained nothing else, only streams of Powerful Qi, and one stream of Qi was especially different.

It was entirely golden and semi-transparent, extremely conspicuous!

All the white Powerful Qi swirled around it, as if it were the king here.

"Geng Metal Sharp Qi!"

"The map wasn't wrong, there really is Geng Metal Sharp Qi here, I can reach Foundation Establishment!"

Wang Erniu was overjoyed in his heart.

He really did not expect the journey would go so smoothly.

He then took out a bottle made with Fire Brilliance Crystal as the main material, at the High-Grade Spiritual Artifact level.

This was custom-made by Wang Erniu specifically to collect Geng Metal Sharp Qi.

The name 'Geng Metal Sharp Qi' suggests it is an incredibly sharp treasure in the world, which ordinary treasures cannot hold.

By utilizing the Five Elements Theory, where fire restrains metal, the bottle made with Fire Brilliance Crystal is the best treasure to contain Geng Metal Sharp Qi.

The Fire Brilliance Bottle floated in front of Wang Erniu,

A spell was cast onto the bottle, and it immediately emitted red light, under Wang Erniu's control, it flew above the Powerful Qi.

Seeing this, Wang Erniu quickly changed the spell, and a suction force arose out of thin air, directly drawing the Geng Metal Sharp Qi into the Fire Brilliance Bottle.

Seeing this, Wang Erniu smiled slightly, then with a gesture, the Fire Brilliance Bottle flew backwards into his palm.

Then he cast a Sealing Spirit Talisman, sealing the Fire Brilliance Bottle, and tapped it against his waist, with a flash of light, the bottle disappeared at his waist.

At this point, the three kinds of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi required for Wang Erniu's Foundation Establishment were all gathered, and he could soon begin Foundation Establishment.

With the completion of the Geng Metal Sharp Qi collection, as Wang Erniu was about to leave, a sudden change occurred.

The stone wall before him suddenly began to throb.

This stone wall turned out to be an Illusion Array!

Wang Erniu was terrified, repeatedly casting Defense Talismans, wrapping himself into a golden sphere.

At that moment, the scenery before him changed dramatically.

A delicate, ancient-style medicine garden appeared before him, accompanied by an extremely pure medicinal fragrance.

Wang Erniu was stunned, looking towards the source of that fragrance.

All he saw in the dozen zhang-sized exquisite medicine garden was a solitary spiritual herb.

This spiritual herb was about one chi tall, entirely purple, in a crystalline Reishi shape.

"Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Medicine, Purple Spirit Crystal Reishi!"

The name blossomed in Wang Erniu's mind.

This is the main medicine for the Purple Essence Pill!

And the Purple Essence Pill can help Early-Stage Core Formation cultivators break through to the Middle-Stage.

This kind of treasure is what Early-Stage Core Formation cultivators most urgently crave!

Wang Erniu's heart started pounding.

"Great fortune!"

"It's absolutely great fortune!"

At this moment, the restrictions of the medicine garden began to shake again, startling Wang Erniu awake immediately.

He swiftly retreated to a large stone two hundred zhang away, hiding behind it without daring to make a move!

"Someone's coming!"

If he were to expose himself now, he would certainly be discovered. To keep news about the spiritual herb from leaking, they would surely kill him to silence him.

As for why not fight them?

What a joke, whoever can break these kinds of restrictions is certainly not an ordinary person!

Just after Wang Erniu hid, the last restriction of the medicine garden was broken, revealing several figures on the other side.

Ten people were on the opposite side, all dressed in blue-gray clothing, seemingly wearing the attire of the Xu Family, one of the Four Great Families of Xui Country.

Upon seeing these people, Wang Erniu dared not make a move, held his breath, and mobilized the Qi Concealment Technique to its utmost, fearing to make even a slight noise.

These ten Xu Family cultivators were overjoyed when they saw the medicine garden!

"Spirit Medicine!"

"It's Tier Three Spirit Medicine!"

After a moment of excitement, the group seemed to calm down a bit and began discussing something together.

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

A slight gust of wind swept by, and a figure suddenly appeared beside the "Purple Spirit Crystal Reishi."

It was a handsome young man dressed in blue, with a red mole on his brow.

With an enchanting smile, he quickly picked the "Purple Spirit Crystal Reishi" and stored it in a Storage Bag.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Wang Erniu was dumbfounded; upon seeing that young man, a name surfaced in his mind,

"Hundred Beasts Evil Monarch!"

"Isn't this the Tribulation Cultivator my elder brother mentioned, appearing here!"

He must have followed the Xu Family cultivators here.

In light of this sudden change, the Xu Family people were naturally shocked and shouted angrily:

"Bold thief!"

Immediately, those ten Xu Family cultivators took out treasures and charged toward the young man together.

This Xu Family team consisted of ten people, led by an elder at the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, along with two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and seven Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivators.

"If only my elder brother were here, this spiritual herb would surely be ours!" Wang Erniu thought as he hid behind.

The handsome young man furrowed his brows as the Xu Family approached, then quickly patted his Storage Bag, and several beams of light flashed.

More than twenty puppet beasts modeled after demon beasts appeared, blocking the ten people.

Seizing this opportunity, the young man fled outward, a slight breeze rising, and he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Who knows what kind of Escape Technique he used, but it was incredibly formidable!

These puppet beasts were also extremely strange, able to automatically entangle the ten Xu Family cultivators, making it impossible for them to track immediately.

After taking several breaths to resolve the puppets,

"Hurry and chase!"

"I planted a tracking imprint on him!"

Quickly, the Xu Family people chased after him, leaving a mess behind.

Wang Erniu lay behind the rock, not daring to move, only coming out after a quarter of an hour!

The ground was littered with fallen puppets, most of them damaged, except for an intact monkey-shaped puppet.

After thinking for a moment, he stored it in his Storage Bag.

Then he quickly fled in the direction he came from!
