Shi Feiyang spent a little less than half a year to finish building the entire Immortal Mansion in Qingcheng, and then he wanted to collect more Spirit Grass and Immortal Flowers, as well as rare birds and exotic beasts to embellish his cave dwelling, so he proposed that everyone should go to different places to search for precious flora and fauna.

Jiang Shu felt it was extravagant, but since Shi Feiyang was excited about it, he didn't interrupt.

Shi Feiyang also called Xiong Man, Deng Bagu, and Huo Wuhai to help with the search.

"We should mainly look in the areas of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi," he said, "These places have dense forests and many rare creatures. Regardless of what you find, as long as it's rare, bring it back to me. If it is suitable to stay here, let our worthy brother Jiang look after it; if not, we will bring it back to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain in the future."

He wrote down several locations, based on the data in his memory, or the names and characteristics of herbs and spiritual objects, and gave different instructions to his disciples for retrieval.

For example, he sent Huo Wuhai to Heavenly Silkworm Ridge to find the script spider and to collect both the Myriad-Age Sky Qing and the Taiyin Essence.

Jiang Shu was also ready to go out and search, but Shi Feiyang told him to stay at home: "You should just focus on your cultivation and not worry about other things. Based on my calculations, you will have some difficulties ahead before you can become the Sect Leader of the Qingcheng Sect, especially from several enemies who will attempt to sneak attack you. I have only calculated one coming from the Zhushan Sect, and also the enemies made by your senior brother Zhu Mei.

Furthermore, my own enemies will come after you because I have helped you. With my effort in everything from the cultivation technique to the Dao Foundation of the Qingcheng Sect, my enemies will also cause you trouble in the future. You must work hard and prepare in advance."

Thus, Shi Feiyang left Zhu Changyuan to watch the house with Jiang Shu at Golden Whip Cliff in Qingcheng Mountain, and he departed with his three disciples separately to hunt for treasures.

His reason for coming to Central Earth from overseas this time was for two things: one was to assist his disciple in transcending calamity, and the other was to retrieve treasures. The meat ganoderma at Jiuhua Mountain had been on his list for some time, but it was delayed due to Jiang Shu's matters. Now he was truly set to retrieve it, as if he waited any longer, Xun Lanyin would come to Jiuhua Mountain to establish her cave dwelling, making things more difficult. Although he was not afraid of Xun Lanyin, the appearance of the Emei Sect would bring a troublesome group.

Returning to Jiuhua Mountain, Shi Feiyang once again calculated the location of the meat ganoderma. This time, without the interruption of the Chuandeng Monk, he quickly found a cliff, the Drunken Immortal Cliff where the ganoderma was hidden.

There were two ganodermas, one male, with a Dao Level of ten thousand years, which was later obtained by Golden Cicada— the Ganoderma Immortal. Another was female, with only over a thousand years of Dao Level, which could only transform into a small horse and was found by the male to serve as a mount, occasionally riding it out for a jaunt.

The Ganoderma Immortal had its dwelling under a narrow path below Drunken Immortal Cliff because there was a beautiful python sealed there by a past Sword Immortal.

Shi Feiyang's objective was to retrieve the Ganoderma Immortal, but he also wanted to capture the beautiful python and take it away. After all, it was a rare item. Raising it in Outer Heaven Divine Mountain and letting it multiply could eventually form a race. Shi Feiyang had already thought it through and decided to call this race Naga.

Arriving in front of Drunken Immortal Cliff, there was a crack in the rock adorned with a circle of talisman carvings left by the Sword Immortal who sealed the Snake Demon.

Shi Feiyang first wiped his hand across the rock, and the stone dust fell in flurries, quickly smoothing out the talisman carvings.

Then, using the "Stone Shattering" spell, he directly opened the crack, revealing a spacious cave inside.

The large cave was full of snakes of all sorts: red, green, black, white, long, short, round, flat, some with horns on their heads, and some with arms on their bodies...poisonous snakes of all varieties crawled everywhere!

Leading them was a monstrous creature with a human head and a snake body, with a mess of yellow hair that fell to the shoulders, covered with shimmering blue scales all around.

This Snake Demon had been sealed here for many years, yearning for a chance to break free every day. If someone passed by, she would stretch her head out and call for help, urging the passerby to destroy the circle of talisman carvings nearby.

Those who made it here included powerless scholars and woodcutters who chopped wood. They were mere mortals, using their axes to chop at the talisman markings, sending sparks flying but never able to scratch the talisman. Then, the Demon would open her mouth and forcefully inhale the person, consuming them whole.

She dreamed of someone who could break the talisman carving, and now, that person who could break the seal had arrived, yet she dared not approach...

The beautiful python was a vicious and ferocious demon, but she sensed a terrifying aura emanating from Shi Feiyang that made her shudder. The scariest thing she had ever encountered was the Sword Immortal who had sealed her in the rock, but even he could not kill her—only lure her in and seal her away. Yet, he did not possess the kind of fear-inducing aura that Shi Feiyang had.

That's why when Shi Feiyang smoothed out the talisman carvings and shouted to open up the stone, she didn't dare to make a rash move until Shi Feiyang entered. Finally, she let out a sharp scream and spat out a stream of poison mist.

She had cultivated for a thousand years, focusing all her strength on this powerfully toxic Dan Qi. Ordinary Sword Immortals would faint if they inhaled a bit of it from a distance.

And as she released her poison, the thousands of other poisonous snakes followed suit.

In that instant, the entire cave was filled with a vibrant poison fog carrying a pungent, vomit-inducing odor!

Normally, this poison fog would be overwhelming to anyone, even the likes of Jiang Shu or Deng Bagu, who couldn't withstand it without relying on Magical Treasures for defense or retreating temporarily to avoid its edge.

Shi Feiyang had an exceptional constitution; fundamentally, he was a Kui Jiao who had cultivated for over three thousand years, surviving the ultimate calamity to become a True Dragon. Forget their poison fog, even if he faced the Myriad Cold Centipede's poison condensed and liquefied, Shi Feiyang could drink several cups... he might get poisoned, but definitely wouldn't die. As for the poison fog spewed by the beauty python leading the group of snakes, Shi Feiyang could drink several large tanks without feeling any discomfort.

He stretched out his right hand and grasped at the air, sucking in all the poison fog and gathering it in his palm, where it finally condensed into a bean-sized bead of extreme poison, glistening under the sunlight, sparkling with a myriad of shimmering colors.

Shi Feiyang opened his mouth and exhaled his own Chaos Dragon Ball, which emitted a sacred dragon's aura, releasing a powerful Giant Dragon's might, instantly causing all the snake's bones to go limp, every white python, green viper, black mamba, and red snake collapsed like disjointed backbones, lying on the ground like noodles.

This was an instinctual reaction of life and death among animals, and the beauty python instinctively sensed it, but she had a significant Dao Level, possessing the rationality to suppress her instincts.

However, although she wasn't weakened, she knew she was no match for this humanoid Demon King and did not dare to make a last-ditch struggle. She turned around and started crawling towards the rear of the cave.

Shi Feiyang reached out and caught her tail from afar, forcibly dragging her back and flinging her against the wall.

"Slap!" The beauty python smashed against the rocks, emitting a crisp sound. Before she could respond, Shi Feiyang threw her heavily onto the ground again.

The beauty python was tossed around, disoriented. She raised her head and, with a fierce yet timid expression, opened her mouth wide and hissed vehemently at Shi Feiyang.

While her upper body was human-like—half natural, half a result of cultivation—her essence was still snake-like. Her jaw could unhinge automatically, allowing her to open her mouth as wide as possible, wide enough to fit a large pumpkin, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs, among them two longer poison fangs, directly spraying venom.

Shi Feiyang told her, "If you stay here, in a few years, a calamity will befall you, and by that time you must be slain by a Sword Immortal. I am now unlocking the seal early, if you go out now, you will be slain by a Sword Immortal in advance.

It would be best if you go with me to Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to cultivate earnestly and avoid this calamity. If you are unwilling, I will pack you into a box and take you with me. If you are willing, I can teach you some Spells and have you help me with some tasks."

The beauty python responded in broken speech, "Will you really not eat me?"

"I don't like the taste of snake meat."

After pondering for a moment, the beauty python crawled over and prostrated herself at Shi Feiyang's feet, "The small beast will fully comply with the Dragon King's decisions."

"You're so obedient," Shi Feiyang was a bit surprised. He wanted to pat the beauty python on the head, but seeing her sticky, disheveled yellow hair, he found it rather nauseating, telling her to go out first and wash herself clean in the creek before coming back to talk to him.

The beauty python scurried off like she was escaping.

Shi Feiyang took out a Jade Box, which he had crafted many of while at Outer Heaven Divine Mountain. These included objects capable of holding things like the Purple Gold Red Gourd and the Suet Jade Flask, but mostly there were various rectangular Crystal Jade Boxes, all with ample space inside.

This time, by making a grabbing motion through the air, he caught all the poisonous snakes and strange pythons in the cave, one by one, and placed them inside the box.

These reptiles were all vicious, sly, and treacherous, often ambushing other humans and beasts in the mountain, ready to strike and inject deadly venom at the sight of flesh and blood.

But now, they were all surprisingly docile, allowing Shi Feiyang to handle them without daring to resist. They lay curled up like overcooked noodles, staying obediently in whichever position he placed them, too frightened to even adjust their posture.

Shi Feiyang packed all the thousands of poisonous snakes into the box, planning to later bring them to Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to enhance the diversity of species. He then left the cave in search of the beauty python.

Having been sealed inside the cave for many years, the beauty python finally gained the freedom of her dreams. She saw the blue sky outside and entered the creek she had long yearned for. In the past, she could only listen to the sound of the flowing water and feel its cool moisture. Now, she was indulging in it, frolicking to her heart's content.

She thought about running away, as Shi Feiyang hadn't placed any prohibitions on her. She really could just leave.

She hesitated and considered the issue while bathing.

She really wanted to, but she didn't dare.

She felt that if she tried to cross the mountain ridge opposite her, the terrifying Dragon King would catch up before she made it and then tear her into two noodle-like strands and consume her bite by bite. The thought was too frightening. She couldn't gamble on that.

So after bathing, she obediently returned to see Shi Feiyang.

"Very good, you are so obedient," Shi Feiyang said, this time reaching out to ruffle the thick yellow hair on the beauty python's head.

"I need you to do something for me. This cave extends to a cavern, where two Ganoderma Immortals in the shape of a person and a horse grow. Dig them out by the roots for me. I want to transplant them, so you can't damage their root systems. You are not to harm them, they must be brought to me intact and undamaged."
