Chapter 108: Dark Night

  Fang Tian Nan was somewhat unwilling to give up, first in the surrounding areas where the yin-yang grass grew densely, constantly changing his position to verify his inner conjectures. He found that the closer he got to the center of this patch of yin-yang grass, the stronger the fluctuations of yang-attributed spiritual energy he felt. However, when Fang Tian Nan's shadow actually penetrated deep into the center of the yin-yang grass growth area and spread out his perception, although the yang-attributed spiritual energy was indeed more intense, it was still not enough to move him.

  All that can be said is that in this place, cultivating and sensing the spiritual energy is slightly faster for Fang Tian Nan than in other places. Considering that many sect disciples have come to practice here recently, it's unrealistic for Fang Tian Nan to quietly monopolize this place.

  Anyway, Fang Tian Nan can't go without eating or drinking forever, so he'll have to stay in this valley for a long time.

  Compared to the benefits of cultivating his perception here, Fang Tian Nan could only shake his head in dismay, feeling that it was not worth the cost.

  Turning his head, he saw some disciples from various sects around him, almost every school was present, and everyone was carefully searching for the corners of the valley. The patience emanating from their faces and the expectation revealed in their occasional daydreaming would always give Fang Tian Nan a familiar feeling. Hadn't he had such experiences during his three years as an ordinary disciple in Qingyun Town?

  Once there was a place where the battle between cultivators and demon beasts suddenly broke out, Fang Tian Nan would always think of going to the "battlefield" in the first time to see if he could pick up some good things that others had overlooked. Or, it was simply a wild idea, one day he could "pick up" a martial art skill, and suddenly increase his own strength...

  This is also a way for practitioners living at the bottom of society to comfort and encourage themselves.

  Fortunately, the yin-yang grass was not a particularly rare herb. Fang Tian Nan's prolonged stay in this area had not drawn excessive attention from others. As the sky gradually darkened, Fang Tian Nan thought for a moment and abandoned his plan to spend the night directly in the valley. He walked out of the valley alone, found a relatively safe place, and waited for tomorrow's arrival.

  。。。。。。

  For three consecutive days, Fang Tian Nan had been wandering around this valley. In addition to the lush areas of yin and yang grass in the valley, Fang Tian Nan also tried to cultivate his perception skills in different locations. For example, in the You Ming Mountains, the wood-attribute spiritual energy near the valley was much weaker than that in the Qingmu Forest.

  At times, Fang Tian would wonder, since the same dense forest had such a stark difference in the strength of the wood attribute spiritual energy, then wouldn't the yang attribute spiritual energy also have some special place that he hadn't discovered yet, aside from the area where the yin-yang grass grew?

  However, Fang Tiannan's understanding of herbs is not comprehensive. Even with the help of "Dan Jing Zhen Jing", Fang Tiannan is still half-baked in his knowledge of most herbs when he doesn't have them physically in hand. Not to mention that in this world, yang-attributed materials, whether they are minerals or herbs, are extremely rare.

  So, Fang Tiannan was also thinking about whether he could go to the Youming Mountains and other places he had not been to before to explore. In the entire Qingyun Sect mountain gate's peripheral area, including the jurisdiction of the three major sects, except for the Youming Mountains, Fang Tiannan really couldn't think of any other place with strong yang attribute spiritual energy fluctuations.

  However, considering that Mu Caiyi has not yet broken through to the spiritual realm with her perception, Fang Tian Nan is just a newcomer who has only recently awakened his perception and does not have much time. In Fang Tian Nan's heart, there was not much anxiety either.

  Compared to finding a place with dense yang attribute spiritual energy, it is absolutely not easier than finding a place with dense icy attribute spiritual energy.

  It was then that Fang Tian Nan secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to enter the cave hidden by the yin-yang grass and try it out. Only in this way could Fang Tian Nan go to find other places with a clear conscience. However, during the day, there were many people and prying eyes, and Fang Tian Nan would easily expose himself if he rashly entered the cave. It seemed that he had no choice but to wait until nightfall.

  Just as Fang Tian Nan was preparing to rest overnight at the location, waiting for dawn and looking forward to tomorrow's attempt, a faint rustling sound suddenly came from around him, catching his attention.

  In an instant, Fang Tian Nan's perception began to rapidly spread outwards.

  。。。。。。

  "Could it be a cultivator and not a demon beast?" Fang Tian Nan secretly guarded against.

  If it were an ordinary disciple, unless they were in a group, they would never choose to act in the dark mountains at night. This is also why Fang Tian Nan would rather wait until tomorrow than enter the mountain cave in the valley tonight and take a look.

  However, the cultivators who are approaching Fang Tian Nan at this moment, there are at least four people. Among them, one person's cultivation is obviously higher than the other three. This person also makes Fang Tian Nan feel a sense of danger. Fang Tian Nan thought about it briefly in his heart and suddenly understood that among these four people, there was actually a Yuan Jing True Person, no wonder they were so bold.

  The location where Fang Tian Nan is currently located, to be precise, is only the outer periphery of the You Ming Mountains. Compared to the area near the core of the You Ming Mountains that Fang Tian Nan had walked out from after leaving the sect's secret grounds, it was completely incomparable in terms of danger.

  There is a real person in the team who can hold his own, even if he chooses to act at night, it's still acceptable.

  However, the movements of the four people revealed from their perception were extremely curious to Fang Tian Nan. They didn't seem to be traveling at night, nor did they appear to be hunting or searching for companions in the darkness. So, what other reason could there be for them to be active on this night in the You Ming Mountains?

  At the first moment, the words "revenge killing" appeared in Fang Tiannan's mind.

  Taking Qingyun Sect as an example, most of the ordinary disciples died in the Youming Mountains and never returned to Qingyun Town. They were all killed by other cultivators or demonic beasts at night.

  This made Fang Tian Nan's heart suddenly tighten.

  Subconsciously, Fang Tiannan shifted his resting position and hid himself in the dark night. On the other hand, Fang Tiannan relied on his senses to observe the movements of the four people opposite him. As he discovered they were gradually approaching his resting direction, Fang Tiannan's facial expression became increasingly strange.

  Faintly, Fang Tian Nan still sensed that among the four people who were sneaking up, three of their auras were somewhat familiar.

  The next moment, Fang Tiannan's right hand grasped the Qingyun Sword!
