Chapter 30: Anomaly in the Mystic Realm! Spirit Spring and Treasure Flower! Li Shan’s Sneak Attack! After obtaining the Bone Tempering Flower, Gu Yang didn’t waste any time. He directly modified it to age a hundred years. Instantly, the flower bud of the Bone Tempering Flower became noticeably more vibrant in color. It even began to emit bursts of strange yet pleasant fragrance. Without any hesitation, Gu Yang swallowed the Bone Tempering Flower. A surge of pure power rushed into his body, flowing through his limbs and bones, spreading everywhere. Immediately, Gu Yang felt his body start to heat up, becoming incredibly hot, even his breathing turned scorching. He could clearly feel the changes taking place within. The energy of the Bone Tempering Flower was subtly transforming his body. Gu Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly absorbing the sensation. Time flew by rapidly. Eventually, the effects of the Bone Tempering Flower began to fade. Gu Yang slowly opened his eyes, a trace of surprise flickering in his gaze. “The improvement is actually this great!” Something had changed! Gu Yang realized the scene before his eyes had shifted. Within his line of sight, apart from the dense forest, he could actually perceive the clusters of spiritual energy hovering around the trees, like countless fireflies swirling nearby. This was a sight he had never seen before! So this is what it feels like to improve one’s innate aptitude?! Gu Yang’s heart surged with excitement. Being able to perceive the presence of spiritual energy in the world so clearly meant his natural talent had greatly improved! Thinking of this, he activated the Pure Origin Technique and tried cultivating again. To his surprise, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy was astonishing! Compared to before, it was like night and day, ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noveⅼfire.net an enormous difference! “If I modify my cultivation to a hundred years now… I might directly break through to the True Condensation Realm!” Gu Yang couldn’t help but sigh in amazement. He stopped cultivating, feeling a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do. Once he reached the True Condensation Realm, he’d have another chance to modify his cultivation. He would be even stronger! With that thought, Gu Yang slowly stood up and stretched his limbs a little. At that moment, he suddenly noticed, his body seemed to have undergone another subtle change! His physical constitution had become even tougher! His skin was noticeably more elastic and resilient, much more durable now! “Come to think of it, the Bone Tempering Flower is supposed to be a body-refining treasure. Looks like it also strengthened my physique.” This realization left Gu Yang momentarily stunned. An unexpected benefit was beyond his expectations. After the surprise faded, however, he couldn’t help but recall the matter of body refinement and feel a bit of a loss. During his Body Refining Realm days, he could’ve easily used a body refinement technique and modified its time, but he hadn’t realized it then. He had completely wasted a chance to modify his body refinement! Gu Yang couldn’t help but shake his head. He didn’t dwell on it too long. What’s missed is missed. Later, after returning to the sect to obtain a body refinement technique and train in it, he could still modify the time. Next, Gu Yang searched the belongings of the Baiyang Sect disciples. But he didn’t find anything particularly useful. However, on Yun Shan’s body, he came across a peculiar-looking herb. The herb was colorless and odorless. It didn’t look like it contained any energy, and even seemed somewhat withered. Gu Yang’s eyes lit up slightly. Could this be some kind of treasure? He immediately modified it, one hundred years ago. But the herb remained unchanged. It still looked withered and lifeless. It was eerily similar to the fragment he had previously obtained from the mountain bandits. Right now, Gu Yang had no idea what it was for, but he still stored it in his storage ring. Who knows? It might come in handy later. After finishing the search, Gu Yang didn’t linger. He left right away and continued searching for opportunities nearby. This search went on for several hours. Compared to before, when he found nothing, Gu Yang had managed to obtain a few precious herbs during this period, And the herbs he found were rather ordinary. To the current Gu Yang, they weren’t especially valuable. At best, he had gained a little. But even so, he wasn’t satisfied. “Isn’t there anything truly good?” Gu Yang couldn’t help but grumble. Just then, a strange white light suddenly pierced through the dense forest and lit up the ground. Sensing this, Gu Yang quickly climbed a tree and looked up. His eyes instantly lit up. Not far away, a strange phenomenon unfolded before him. There, a spirit spring seemed to have emerged, its aura dense and mystical, like a celestial realm, breathtakingly beautiful. “An anomaly has appeared!” Gu Yang’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He immediately locked onto the source of the anomaly and rushed forward at top speed! Clearly, this anomaly meant a great treasure had appeared! At full speed, Gu Yang quickly arrived at a secluded valley. The scenery here was stunning. Clear water flowed through, and light mist rose around the area. It closely resembled the image he had seen in the sky. Gu Yang quickly looked up. at the heart of the valley, a spirit spring lay quietly. Above the spring, strands of pure white mist swirled. It wasn’t water vapor, but rather spiritual energy so pure it had solidified into visible form! Beneath the spring was spirit water, liquified spiritual energy! Just taking a breath here, one could feel the overwhelming richness of the surrounding aura. It was truly an absurd level of density! Training here would be no different from carrying an enormous supply of spirit stones and cultivating without pause! And at the core of the spirit spring… There, at the very center, a tiny pure-white flower grew, like carved jade. Tiny dewdrops clung to its petals, and as the droplets fell, they released bursts of spirit mist. Clearly, this spirit spring had formed, because of this jade-like flower! Although Gu Yang didn’t know exactly what kind of flower it was, This was definitely a rare treasure and a golden opportunity! Moreover, this anomaly was bound to attract others. With that in mind, Gu Yang didn’t hesitate. He darted straight toward the center of the spirit spring. He stepped directly into the spiritual spring filled with energy, reaching out toward the jade-white flower in the center. a furious voice suddenly rang out from the side. Gu Yang completely ignored the angry shout behind him. He reached out and plucked the flower, then placed it into an exquisite jade box. With a flip of his hand, he stowed it away in his storage ring. “You’re courting death!” Seeing Gu Yang pluck the jade-white flower without hesitation, the person behind him erupted in rage. An overwhelming aura burst forth as he rapidly approached, intent on ambushing Gu Yang from behind. Sensing this, Gu Yang finally turned around. When he saw the figure before him, his brow twitched slightly. The one attacking,  was none other than Li Shan!
