After entering the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm, these earth spirit bees had basically never been released.
This was because the turbid air here was too dense. The individual strength of the earth spirit bees was not strong, and their spiritual power was limited, so their resistance to the turbid air was not strong.
Fortunately, there were no problems in the short term. Simply exploring the surrounding environment could save a lot of trouble.
At the same time, Zhang Ling led the twin-tailed cat, directly bypassing the Xuan Turtle, and walked towards the sandy area behind.
This sandy area was actually not very large. In addition to the sea in front, seven or eight mountains of varying heights could be seen in the distance. He planned to enter the mountains to explore.
Soon after, Zhang Ling entered the nearest green stone mountain. The vegetation on it was sparse, and it looked a bit desolate.
However, under the induction of his divine sense, the concentration of spiritual energy in the mountain was not low, not less than a medium-grade spiritual vein. The spiritual power in the nearby mountains was also roughly the same, seemingly indicating a good spiritual vein.
He came out not long after entering the green stone mountain.
Zhang Ling held a red fruit in his hand, which looked a bit like an apple. This was a third-grade spiritual fruit, the Red Leaf Fruit.
He directly took a bite of the Red Leaf Fruit, and immediately felt a cool spiritual power filling his mouth, rushing towards his limbs and bones.
After eating a Red Leaf Fruit, Zhang Ling felt refreshed and his mood seemed to improve a lot.
In the world of cultivation, there were many types of spiritual fruits, but very few could reach the third grade or higher. The Red Leaf Fruit could be taken directly, and the spiritual power it contained was gentle.
It was said that frequent consumption could make one's ears and eyes sharp, and enhance the five senses. It could also be used to refine several good elixirs, such as the Red Leaf Pill.
He had just discovered a large area of Red Leaf Fruit trees on this green stone mountain. The fruit trees were very old, and the Red Leaf Fruits they produced were very large, while ordinary Red Leaf Fruits were only the size of a fist.
Zhang Ling then went to explore the adjacent mountain peak. In this way, half a day passed.
He returned to the beach, sat directly next to the Xuan Turtle, and with a wave of his hand, nearly a hundred colorful spiritual herbs appeared on the ground.
A bluish-purple small grass, covered with a layer of frost, this was a third-grade spiritual herb, the Frostwind Grass.
A deep yellow, withered leaf flower, looking like a withered branch and rotten grass, was also a third-grade spiritual flower, the Withered Leaf Flower.
With a wave of his hand, a half-person-high purplish-brown small tree floated in front of him. It was covered with more than a dozen small grape-like fruits. This was a more precious fourth-grade spiritual fruit, the Purple Vein Fruit.
This kind of spiritual fruit had become extinct outside.
In addition, there were five or six kinds of fourth-grade spiritual herbs among the spiritual grasses on the ground, which were also of considerable value.
Among them, a tricolor flower was also an auxiliary material for the Core Formation Pill. He had not collected it outside, but he found it in this place.
Although the Tricolor Flower was not as difficult to collect as the Earth Spirit Fruit, it was also a very rare fourth-grade spiritual herb and was not easy to collect. It only grew in certain specific places.
The remaining fifty or sixty spiritual grasses were mostly of the second and third grades, among which there were some precious varieties, and some that he did not recognize. He could only check the spiritual herb classics to identify them when he had time.
However, the medicinal power of these spiritual herbs was basically over a hundred years, and several of them were thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. These were all recently found in the nearby mountains.
Counting the large number of spiritual herbs collected before and the spiritual herbs he had cultivated, he would not have to worry about spiritual herbs for a long time.
After sorting out these spiritual herbs, Zhang Ling noticed that the collected spiritual herbs were enough to refine several ancient elixirs.
For example, a kind of elixir called Purple Jade Pill was a top-grade elixir refined with Purple Vein Fruit as the main ingredient, and its medicinal effect was extremely strong.
According to the records in the classics, this elixir had a domineering medicinal effect and was originally an elixir for Nascent Soul cultivators to cultivate. If a Golden Core cultivator like him took it, a lot of the medicinal power would be wasted, and even if he took it carelessly, his meridians would swell, and there would even be a risk of tearing.
In addition, there was also a fourth-grade elixir called White Radiance Pill, and he had also collected all the required spiritual herbs.
The White Radiance Pill was suitable for his current realm. The medicinal power was strong and gentle. If it could be refined, his cultivation could be accelerated a lot.
Of course, there were also several suitable third-grade elixirs, and he had also collected all the required spiritual herbs.
……
After sorting out the spiritual herbs, Zhang Ling closed his eyes slightly and sensed the earth spirit bees that he had released to explore the surroundings.
Soon after, most of the earth spirit bees flew back, but some of the earth spirit bees disappeared for no reason.
Zhang Ling felt a little strange.
The information feedback from the spirit insects was a bit vague, but after communicating with his divine sense, his brows furrowed even tighter, and then he could no longer sit still. He directly flew away in one direction.
After flying hundreds of miles, a white mist appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
This layer of mist was very thin, but when his divine sense penetrated into it for about ten feet, it could no longer penetrate, as if it was being swallowed.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Ling released the Yellow Silk Umbrella to protect his whole body, and planned to enter it to find out. But as soon as he entered the mist, he instantly felt a strong squeezing force coming from all around.
This pressure came from all directions, and could be sensed from every place above, below, left, and right.
The pressure instantly pressed on the protective shield released by the Yellow Silk Umbrella, and the spiritual light shield immediately made a creaking sound, cracking countless cracks.
Zhang Ling was shocked and quickly retreated. As soon as he retreated, the protection of the Yellow Silk Umbrella instantly shattered. If he hadn't retreated quickly, he might have been injured again.
This seemed to be some kind of restriction, but he didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations in the mist. This was very strange.
And this layer of mist was not limited to the front, it spread extremely widely, like a thin film covering a large area.
Zhang Ling looked up and saw that there was also this kind of mist in the sky, but he hadn't noticed it just now because it was far away. When his divine sense penetrated into it, it was also swallowed.
He directly flashed and flew upwards along the mist. In an instant, he flew hundreds of miles, and the same strange mist appeared above his head. When his divine sense penetrated into it, it was also swallowed.
Zhang Ling didn't believe it and flew in another direction along the mist. After flying two or three hundred miles, the mist spread downwards. He followed the mist and landed on the sand below.
The mist here also blocked his way.
Then he flew several hundred miles in the front, back, left, and right directions, and was blocked by the strange mist.
He also explored the sea in front of the beach.
He originally thought it was the Azure Spirit Sea, but this sea was not very large. It only extended for a hundred miles before reaching the end. The end of the sea was also blocked by this thin mist.
It seemed that this area was isolated by some kind of restriction.
At the same time, he also found the missing earth spirit bees. They were found in the mist. All the missing earth spirit bees were dead, crushed into piles of powder by the pressure in the mist.
Now, he seemed to be trapped in this area of several hundred feet.
Apart from the hundred-mile sea area in front of the beach and the mountains he had explored earlier, there was no other place.
Zhang Ling wandered around in this space for several laps, but still couldn't find any place that looked like an exit. Soon after, he returned to the beach, frowning and staring at the Xuan Turtle.
He didn't know where this Xuan Turtle had taken him. This looked like an independent area.
Zhang Ling felt that things were not good. He might have been brought into some kind of restriction by this beast and was trapped.
