After a long while, those Yin Stone Beasts were swept up by the Azure Dragon's hurricane-like power.
Tang Long's face gradually turned pale, evidently, using this power was a significant drain on him.
Su Mengli's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected Tang Long to be so powerful and possess such methods.
If I had met you first, perhaps I would have been a little interested. But unfortunately, I met Young Master Jiang first.
"Hurry, I can't hold on any longer!" Tang Long whispered, his spiritual energy rapidly depleting.
The hurricane's power grew stronger, seemingly intent on sweeping away everything around it.
"Swish swish swish!!!"
At the same time, Su Mengli, hidden in the shadows, had a strange glint in her eyes.
The wind surged, lifting Su Mengli's hair. Her exquisite and charming face appeared incredibly delicate, yet her gaze was unwavering.
Su Mengli darted out from the shadows, her skirt fluttering in the wind.
Su Mengli's body floated in the air, and she gently waved her right hand.
Immediately, a pink spiritual light emerged from within Su Mengli.
The spiritual light, guided by Su Mengli's right hand, shot rapidly towards the Yin Stone Beasts not far away.
"Awooo..."
The instant the pink spiritual light struck the Yin Stone Beasts, they ceased their resistance, emitting strange cries. The sounds were eerily similar to those of sows in heat.
Tang Long slowly retracted his power.
Tang Long watched the Yin Stone Beasts in front of him outputting wildly into the air, accompanied by those strange sounds. He felt a tremor in his heart.
What kind of demonic trick was this from Su Mengli, making the Yin Stone Beasts go into heat?
This power was too uncanny.
These were fifth-tier Yin Stone Beasts.
Su Mengli could even make exotic beasts like this.
Looking at Su Mengli, who was continuously emitting pink spiritual light in the distance, Tang Long felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
If he were subjected to something like this, becoming like those Yin Stone Beasts, it would be a true social death that even Jesus couldn't save him from...
"Tang Long, hurry and pick the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower!" Su Mengli called out sweetly.
Right, this wasn't the time to ponder such things. First, secure the spiritual herb.
Tang Long suppressed his thoughts and sprinted inwards.
Passing through the heat-addled Yin Stone Beasts, Tang Long quickly approached the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower.
The deepest part of the jungle.
Everything was dim and gloomy, the environment appearing extremely eerie.
There were other things all around.
Only a single spiritual herb emanated potent Taiyin energy.
The herb exuded rich spiritual energy, and the surrounding Taiyin energy was rapidly absorbed by it.
Tang Long's eyes lit up. He had finally found the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower.
He then swiftly dashed deeper into the area.
The moment Tang Long plucked the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower, he felt a sudden jolt in his heart, as if something was targeting him.
Tang Long's body trembled, and the blood of his Supreme Dragon Physique began to boil.
Before long, Tang Long safely plucked the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower.
After the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower was picked, a significant amount of Taiyin energy and surging spiritual energy immediately dissipated.
Tang Long carefully put away the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower.
What just happened? Tang Long pondered, a hint of confusion in his mind.
He had clearly felt a bone-deep tremor, yet it had vanished so quickly.
Was it a hallucination, or was there another reason?
Tang Long mused as he sprinted outwards.
Never mind, the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower was secured. It was best to get out quickly.
...
Not long after Tang Long left.
A black figure emerged from beneath the ground in the depths of the jungle.
The surrounding dissipated Taiyin energy and spiritual energy were rapidly absorbed by the black figure.
After a long while, nourished by the Taiyin energy and spiritual energy, the black figure began to solidify.
Soon, the black figure slowly opened its eyes.
Its eyes were filled with profound loneliness, and its form bore the marks of countless years, appearing extremely unsettling.
The very space around it became oppressive with the black figure's appearance, as if forbidden power was flowing.
The black figure looked in the direction Tang Long had departed, lost in thought.
Supreme Dragon Physique? To think that after so many years, I would see the Supreme Dragon Physique again, the black shadow murmured, its voice filled with an ancient resonance.
As the black figure observed Tang Long's departing direction, a Yin Stone Beast emerged from beneath the ground.
This Yin Stone Beast wore sharp, blood-red scales, its eyes burning with ferocity, appearing immensely powerful.
"Master, shall I go and retrieve the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower?" the Yin Stone Beast asked, prostrating itself on the ground, its voice clearly human.
The black figure gently touched the Yin Stone Beast that lay at its feet.
The ferocious and grim Yin Stone Beast acted like a kitten, displaying a docile demeanor.
"No need. That is the descendant of an old friend. A mere Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower is insignificant!" the black figure said softly, a complex expression flashing in its eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Yin Stone Beast said no more, simply remaining still on the ground.
"Also, recall all Yin Stone Beasts of fourth-tier and above!" the black figure added slowly, as if struck by a thought.
The Yin Stone Beast let out a low growl and then departed from the depths of the jungle.
...
The depths of the Taiyin Valley.
A dense, chilling aura permeated the surroundings.
This area was far removed from where the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower was located.
Jiang Li and the others waited here for Su Mengli and Tang Long to return.
"Brother Jiang Li, will something happen to them? They've been gone for so long!" Luo Yunxi whispered, clutching Jiang Li's arm.
Chen Yu, standing nearby, glanced at Luo Yunxi. "Don't worry. Even if they don't get the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower, they'll at least be able to save their lives!"
Jiang Li nodded in agreement. A Child of Destiny and a princess of the Sky Fox tribe – they wouldn't encounter trouble so easily.
They must have succeeded. Jiang Li sensed the medicinal powder on them; the two were approaching rapidly.
"Young Master Jiang, we have fulfilled our mission. The Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower is secured!" Tang Long said with a smile.
With the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower, the chance of comprehending Taiyin energy would greatly increase.
Su Mengli, not far behind, also flew over quickly.
Tang Long then produced the Odd Yin Sky-Reaching Flower. According to their prior agreement, Su Mengli and Tang Long each took one petal, and the rest were given to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was slightly surprised. These two seemed quite decent; they hadn't tried to hoard the spiritual herb.
After this joint endeavor, their relationships had improved considerably.
With the spiritual herb distributed, the group decided to proceed together towards the Taiyin Stone Tablet.
After all, they no longer had conflicting interests, so traveling together was fine.
Without further delay, the group swiftly rushed towards the Taiyin Stone Tablet in the depths of the Taiyin Valley.
