C1 Ganoderma lucidum

Dark clouds hovered over the sky, and from time to time there would be flashes of lightning, accompanied by muffled thunder and heavy rain.

Within the Lying Tiger City, Shen Xiang raised his head to look at the sky and muttered: "I can't drag this on any longer, I need to quickly find a good medicine, or else it would be difficult for me to have a chance to turn things around."

Shen Xiang was sixteen years old this year, and he had a physique that was stronger and taller than his peers. His physique was in stark contrast to his handsome face that carried a childish look, but his pair of deep eyes that didn't match his age, looked a little more mature than his peers.

Even though he was the grandson of the Shen Family's Patriarch, he could not become a powerful warrior because he did not have a spirit vein. Thus, he had diligently trained his own body since young, often ventured out on his own secret expeditions, and even fought against wild beasts on his own. Although he was young, he had experienced several life and death situations and his mental state and willpower were far superior than his peers.

"Isn’t this Shen Xiang? It’s going to rain heavily soon, and you still want to train? " An old butler came over and asked him. Seeing how excited Shen Xiang was, he couldn’t help but admire him, but his eyes were filled with pity.

Shen Xiang had been training diligently every day, and even today, he was still stuck at the third level of the mortal kungfu realm. Most of the disciples of the Shen family, who were the same age as him, had already entered the fourth level of the mortal kungfu realm, while the stronger ones had even entered the fifth level.

This was all because he did not have a spirit vein, so his family did not pay much attention to him. Currently, he was just a very ordinary person in the Shen family.

Although he did not have a spirit vein, Shen Xiang was never discouraged. He had always worked hard to train himself.

“Old Ma, don’t worry, I’m only going to pick up some herbs.” Shen Xiang ran past the old butler and happily grabbed onto one of the whips on his bald head.

“Be careful. You don’t have a Spiritual Pulse. It’s dangerous for you if you meet any mishap!” The old butler shook his head and sighed.

With regards to this kind of situation, Shen Xiang had heard it countless times, but he still had to persevere on, and he would not give up no matter what.

"Xiang'er, don't go out like that!" At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over.

Shen Xiang curled his lips and said: "Father, gathering medicinal herbs in the rain is a good opportunity. At least you don't have to fight with others over it."

The middle-aged man was his father. Shen Xiang’s father was a powerful warrior, and he was the most hopeful to inherit the position of Patriarch of his clan. Although his son did not have a spirit vein, he had always encouraged Shen Xiang, and would occasionally give him some precious pills.

"Take it." Shen Tianhu laughed helplessly and threw a small box to Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang took the box, and without even looking at the contents, he knew about the pills inside. He laughed: "Thank you, Father.

This caused Butler Ma’s face to be filled with bitterness, as both the father and son never listen to his advice.

Looking at Shen Xiang's disappearing figure, Shen Tianhu could only sigh. Although he had a very high position in the Shen family, the elders of the Shen family were extremely strict with managing the rare and precious cultivation resources like pellets. He could only spare a small portion for himself, to be given to his son but that would seldom have any strong effect, because these pellets were too few.

As a father, who wouldn’t want their child to become a dragon? However, Shen Tianhu had no other choice in these circumstances as he could only obtain the pills for Shen Xiang.

Immortal Devil Cliff was a very quiet and desolate place. At this moment, a half-naked teenager appeared very tired but determined trying to climb the cliff.

...

It was currently raining heavily, yet Shen Xiang was actually climbing the cliff here, it was an extremely dangerous thing to do. The lowest point of Immortal Devil Cliff was so deep that one would not be able to see the bottom of the mountain and there was also seamless black mist that carried a deathly aura lingering around the bottom, so many people did not want to get too close to this place.

However, Shen Xiang was very determined as he climbed up the cliff slowly but carefully. If others were to find out, they would definitely considered him as a lunatic who did not care about his life.

Not only was Shen Xiang smart, he was also very vigilant. He knew that the Immortal Devil Cliff was a dangerous place that had existed for thousand of years, especially the the existence of the deathly aura below, that has been there since ancient time.

But Shen Xiang has an sharp instinct about this place. He knew that he could not avoid the risks and danger and his intuition tells him that if he could reach the cliff, he may find some legendary precious spirit medicines.

He heard of hearsay that there were sightings of Hell Ganoderma in nearby regions. “Hell Ganoderma” was a type of spirit medicine that could raise the dead, some even said that the herb had the effect of raising the flesh from their bone marrows. It normally grew in ancient battlefields, graveyards, and other places that were filled with death energy.

In a rainy day, the water droplets would sink a bit of the black mist, and Shen Xiang would be able to see deeper into the chasms. He would then be able to go to a deeper place, where he hopes to find the “Hell Ganoderma.”

Although he did not need Hell Ganoderma, he could definitely exchange it for many precious pellets after he obtained the Holy Elixir, allowing him to get rid of his predicament and gain great strength.

The rain that fell on Shen Xiang's body made him feel very uncomfortable. At the same time, it made the rocks on the cliff even more slippery. This made him even more cautious. He carefully climbed down the cliff, otherwise, if he wasn't careful he would fall down.

No one knew what was underneath the Immortal Devil Cliff. Although there were a lot of people who had gone down before, none of them had managed to get up, as falling down meant death!

Relying on the strong body that he had trained for many years, Shen Xiang went down the cliff and each step he descends his vision also descends a few dozen meters deep.

Shen Xiang found a relatively better place to rest his body. At the same time, he observed his surroundings and suddenly, he saw something that made his heart race.

"Hell Ganoderma!" Shen Xiang shouted excitedly, his eyes staring down excitedly. About a hundred meters below his feet, there was something that looked like a white cake that was stuck to the cliff. He was very sure that this was the legendary Hell Ganoderma.

This place was covered all year round by the black death aura, and the color of the Hell Ganoderma and the cliff were very similar, making them hard to find.

Shen Xiang was extremely excited, he calmed himself down and rested for a moment, then slowly climbed down.

Before long, Shen Xiang arrived beside the Hell Ganoderma. He swallowed his saliva, and looked at the white Hell Ganoderma that was as big as a washbasin. He could still feel the vigorous life energy that the Hell Ganoderma was emitting.

Shen Xiang could only use one hand to pick this Hell Ganoderma. He reckoned that it was a thousand year old Hell Ganoderma, and if he auctioned it off, it would be an astronomical number.

Shen Xiang spent a great deal of effort to pluck the Lingzhi and put it inside the precious storage bag. He grinned: "Haha, it's time for me to turn the tables!"

As long as he sold the Hell Ganoderma, he would be able to buy many decent ranked pills. At that time, he would be able to improve by leaps and bounds!

Shen Xiang was a very satisfied, so he did not continue searching for other medical herbs near the big cliff, but chose to climb his way back instead. After all, his strength was limited, and climbing up would be very strenuous and tiring.

After he climbed for more than an hour, he suddenly felt vibration at the surface of the cliff!

Shen Xiang was shocked, his excited heart immediately sank. He had a bad premonition. He looked up and saw that many small stones had fallen off the cliff and into the bottomless chasm. The cliff that was slightly trembling was also shaking more and more violently.

"Damn it, I finally got my hands on the Hell Ganoderma. Heavens, don't joke with me!" The sudden movement caused Shen Xiang to curse in a low voice.

He had to stay calm and hold on to the uneven cliff wall, or else he would be knocked off his feet.

The unceasingly increasing tremors caused Shen Xiang’s hope gradually turns to despair.. At this time, he saw that even larger rocks were constantly falling from above, and he felt that the rocks he was grabbing with his hands were also starting to crack.

“Oh god, I just got the Hell Ganoderma, and you want to send me to hell!?!” Shen Xiang cursed out loud. At this time, the black Qi begins to rise up from below and the rock Shen Xiang was grabbing suddenly cracked.

“Aaaaahhhhh…” Shen Xiang fell into the abyss that was filled with black energy, and his voice that was filled with regret and unwillingness echoed from below …

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xiang slowly regain his consciousness and began to open his eyes. He could actually see light from the was the bottom of the abyss. The most inconceivable shock he felt at this moment was that he just realized that he had landed below the chasm and fell into a pool and he could still breathe!

Shen Xiang floated towards to side of the pool. The pool was filled with a crystal clear water and surrounded by a white, holy aurora.

What made Shen Xiang dumbstruck was that not far from the pool sat two extremely beautiful women with disheveled hair.

What shocked him the most was that these two goddess-like women in front of him were actually not wearing clothes! Two flawless jade bodies were displayed in front of him without reservation!

The two breathtaking red dots… It was as if the naked woman was carved out of a precious jade. There wasn’t the slightest bit of other colors on their face. Both their peaks were beautifully shaped and their waists were as slender as the rest. They were breathtakingly beautiful… “Gulp!!” This was the most beautiful women that Shen Xiang had ever seen.

Such an alluring scene caused Shen Xiang to be instantly petrified. His face blushed rapidly and his ears flushed red. Sheng Xian also felt his heartbeat and breathing began to accelerate quickly!

The two girls sat cross-legged on the ground. Both the women locked their eyes on each other, and it seems that they did not notice Shen Xiang at all. This has made Shen Xiang depressed as he feels like he was being looked down upon.

There were many cracks and craters all over the ground near the pool, and among the broken rocks, there were even many pieces of white silk that appears to be part of their clothes.. It looked like a battle had taken place, Shen Xiang guessed that it was caused by the two girls fighting with each other and caused their clothes to be torn off.

Although Shen Xiang did not know why these two beautiful women would fight in this deep abyss, he could tell that they were very strong, so strong that their strength may exceeded his perception. From the surrounding aftermath, both women were actually able to unleash a power that could shake the earth and destroy the mountains.

“What a beautiful disaster, they actually managed to shake me off to the side of the pool. Fortunately, my fate was good and I didn’t fall to my death!” Shen Xiang cursed in his heart, but he was also curious about the two mysterious women.

Shen Xiang stared straight at the two flawless jade bodies in front of him, and at the same time, walked over to the two girls.

The abyss beside the Immortal Devil Cliff was known as hell, but Shen Xiang who was landed himself in hell felt like he was like a fairyland. There was a majestic pool of water that was emitting a holy light, and most importantly, there were two naked beauties by the side of the lake.

Suddenly both women realize that not far away, there was a pair of fiery eyes prying over their bodies. This caused them to be extremely embarrassed and angry.
