"This is the second layer. It is over ten thousand acres, including valleys and other landforms. I can assure you that there is not even one Regeneration Ink Lotus in this layer."

Li Chongshan, the only person of the Li Clan team staying beside Ye Xiao, spoke, "There are some normal medicines in this place, which are much less valuable compared to Regeneration Ink Lotus."

The other man who stayed with Ye Xiao humphed and coldly said, "It is 13735 acres, including forty-seven cliffs, seventy-three valleys, and two depressions. There are still some Regeneration Ink Lotus here. They are just too small yet. Some of them cannot offer enough efficacy, while the others are impossible to transplant. What we can do is to set protection on them until the day they can be collected. We Ye Clan have set the protection. I believe only Ye Clan did, too Don't argue on this absolute truth. It will be meaningless and only lower your position, even though you vicious bastard never had a position in the righteous world for a long time!"

When he said those words, he didn't even look at Li Chongshan. What he did was just to satirize as much as he could.

Li Chongshan looked utterly awkward. His eyes were full of viciousness. "Ye Shangxin, we never have any life and death fights. However, if we both can get out of this place alive, I will kill you! I swear in the name of my ancestors!"

Ye Shangxin coldly said, "Isn't it the twenty-eighth time that you swore in the name of you poor ancestors? Twenty-eight times that I know and a lot more that I don't! I guess you would love to take a vow in the name of your ancestors. You don't get to fulfill it anyway. You never did. You never will. That's why you are so audacious.

"I guess your ancestors never mean anything to you… considering how casually you swear in their name…

"From now on, you can announce that I am not a match to you on this aspect. I officially admit it. I am so much weaker than you in humiliating our ancestors. I admire you! I can't admire you more!"

Li Chongshan gritted his teeth and showed a dark expression. "Good! Fine! Wait and see!"

He nodded fiercely and then left fast.

Ye Xiao coldly watched them and thought, [How possible is it that they will start a fight when they are out? Will Li Chongshan keep his vow?]

His conclusion was, [There is only a five percent possibility.]

The reason why there was still a five percent was that maybe Ye Shangxin would be seriously injured in this place. Li Chongshan would dare to do it. Although it was not very likely going to happen, there was still a possibility!

In the second layer, there were a few wide roads that became narrower after an unknown amount of walking. There were too many people who had come to this place, and their footsteps created the roads.

Ye Shangxin humphed and explained to Ye Xiao about this place.

Ye Xiao pretended to be interested in the topic. He didn't go search for medical materials like the others, so that as time passed, the three of them were left behind the group.

Ye Shangxin was leading way and explaining things in this layer to Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue. However, he was leading Ye Xiao through the second floor to the third.

Ye Xiao understood what Ye Shangxin was doing. He knew that Ye Shangxin didn't want him to waste time in this layer for those materials. He sighed that even though Ye Shangxin seemed more righteous than Li Chongshan, he was narrow-hearted. The materials in the second layer were never attractive to Ye Xiao. In fact, even Regeneration Ink Lotus or even Regeneration Jade Lotus couldn't draw his interests. After all, he had so many of them in the Space. He would never waste time on such useless things in this layer.

[Even if you give all of them to me, I will not bother to find a place to put them!]

However, Ye Shangxin was doing quite well as a guide. He explained everything, all in detail to Ye Xiao all along the way. Even if Li Chongshan heard him and wanted to tease him, he couldn't find any mistake Ye Shangxin made in the explanation.

It was so difficult to be picky sometimes!

Maybe because Li Chongshan couldn't find anything to tease Ye Shangxin, the two of them stopped arguing afterwards.

However, it was not always so peaceful. They encountered some dangers. For example, they encountered a bunch of huge bees that suddenly rushed over like blowing wind. Besides, they met some poisonous snakes that suddenly appeared in the bushes and rushed over so fast.

They also got attacked by some beasts that none of them recognized.

Luckily, the men from Ye Clan and Li Clan were all elites of their clans. Most importantly, the beasts in the second layer were not in any high levels. They were not strong. The beasts that attacked them eventually became spirit crystals. Those were something good to acquire.

What troubled Ye Xiao was the Manifestation Mystic Array's continuous changes. As they walked further, the array was changing all the time. The roads under their feet were changing and twisting…

After all the effort, they barely collected any valuable materials.

Most of the materials were normal. Not to mention Ye Xiao, even the others scorned it!

Ye Xiao felt like he was walking in a mysterious colorful world which kept twisting and turning.

However, Ye Clan and Li Clan people seemed quite familiar with all that. After searching for a while, they started to move fast and got together somewhere in the second layer.

There was a huge rock cliff.

There was only one stair they could see on the cliff. Apparently, it must be the road to the upper layer.

However, the upper stairs were all hidden in the dense fog. They couldn't see what was up there.

Ye Xiao tried reaching his hand into the fog. He could see that a part of his arm was lost in the fog.

When he withdrew his hand, he found his sleeve was all wet.

"This is the entrance to the third layer." Ye Shangxin took a deep breath and said, "The third layer of the Mountain of All Medicines. It is absolutely a taboo area of Oracle District. In the young generation's eyes, it is somewhere nobody can reach. A mysterious area. However, for the leadership of all the big clans, there are countless opportunities inside it, even though there are lots of dangers too. According to the men of the older generation who once entered and returned luckily… the beasts inside are all over level seven. There are many in level eight, level nine, and even beyond level nine. For us, it is somewhere a small careless mistake can take our lives. A really dangerous place. However… because it is such a dangerous place, the materials should be much more abundant than the second layer."
