Chapter 365 Spiritual Medicine Garden
According to Xiang Zhili, the surface of the Biyuan Pond is surrounded by negative energy and there are many wild ghosts wandering around, just like a cold and gloomy scene with weak yang energy.
In fact, there is a secret at the bottom of the pool, which leads to a secluded valley.
The descendants of a certain Wood Clan leader secretly opened up a spiritual medicine garden there, and then secretly sold the mature spiritual herbs to outsiders to earn resources for spiritual practice. Over the years, a lot of precious spiritual medicines have been accumulated there.
Although this pond is near the territory of the Wood Clan, it still takes two days to travel one way at the speed of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. As the cultivation becomes more advanced, the speed of escape light increases accordingly. Therefore, once a violent battle occurs in the Wall Resentment Pond, high-level cultivators of the Wood Clan can arrive instantly.
Among the three Wood Clan cultivators at the God Transformation Stage, one will leave and return to his clan in four days, and then only two cultivators at the God Transformation Stage will be left at the bottom of the pool.
At that time, it would be the best time for Qi Yuan and his men to take action. With three against two, they would try to reduce the noise of the fight and end it as soon as possible.
The reason why the defense force of the spiritual medicine garden is weak is that nearly half of the spiritual medicines in it are misappropriated from their own clan’s spiritual medicine resources.
This resulted in the matter not being made public, and at the same time reduced the number of Wood Clan cultivators who knew about the spiritual medicine garden, but it did not mean that there was no danger.
Given that Qi Yuan and his group were exposed as humans in the vicinity of the Wood Clan's territory, the consequences would be obviously serious.
"Old Ghost Feng, Junior Brother Qi, let's act according to the plan. When there are only two Divine Transformation cultivators left at the bottom of the pool, we will immediately enter the pool to control them. In order to prevent them from leaving behind any means such as Divine Soul Tokens to detect life or death, we should try to capture them alive."
"If the situation is too bad and our whereabouts are exposed, we can flee to the east. There is a golden jade vein there. The surrounding metallic aura is extremely strong and can effectively restrain the Wood Clan monks."
"If you can't fly to the east, you can also choose the north. There's poisonous miasma everywhere there, and there are many ancient poisonous beasts lurking there. You can use them to delay the pursuers." Xiang Zhili once again warned the people around him.
Old Monster Feng snorted and said, "You are too long-winded, old man. It is not difficult for the three of us to capture two Divine Transformation cultivators by surprise. We can then loot the spiritual medicine and leave immediately. By the time the others return, we will have already escaped."
"Having said that, it's better to be careful. You don't want to be hunted down by high-level cultivators of the Mu clan, do you?" Xiang Zhili said unhappily.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking and don't start a fight."
"Who wants to argue with this old weirdo Feng? He's the one who's picking on people." Xiang Zhili responded calmly.
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Feng blew hard on his white beard. If he had not taken into consideration that he was in a foreign land, he would have had a good argument with Xiang Zhili.
Four days passed in a flash for the monks.
Suddenly, bubbles began to gurgle from the dark pool of water. A ray of light shot out from it and fell to the ground, revealing a human shape.
This person was none other than the Wood Clan Divine Transformation cultivator who had entered the pool a few days ago. He glanced around with his slightly purple eyes, then turned into a ray of light and rushed into the sky, his figure disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"The people are gone, let's take action." Old Monster Feng said in a dark voice.
Xiang Zhili's expression changed slightly, and the aura on his body flickered more intensely. Just as he was about to move, he was stopped.
"Wait, let's wait a little longer to prevent the enemy from making a surprise attack." Qi Yuan stopped them with a serious expression.
This is not considered as foresight, but it is always right to wait patiently. Anyway, there is no rush.
Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai didn't say much. They just calmed down and didn't move.
Not long after, a divine sense suddenly swept over silently, passing back and forth over the terrain near the Biyuan Pond, staying for more than twenty breaths before leaving.
"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Qi warned us in time, otherwise, even if we dived under the pool, there would be residual breath on land. The other side would definitely realize that the situation is not good and would directly rush to the bottom of the pool or ask for help." Old Monster Feng said with admiration.
Xiang Zhili's mung bean-sized eyes twinkled, and he said with a smile, "Old Monster Feng, now you know how powerful my junior brother is. If I had listened to you just now, all my efforts would have been in vain."
"Fellow Daoist Qi, do you think we should wait a little longer?" Old Monster Feng ignored Xiang Zhili and turned to talk to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan used his vast spiritual sense to watch the wood clan cultivator leave, and said softly: "No need, the person has completely left. In order to avoid more trouble, let's go into the pool."
Junior Brother Qi’s spiritual awareness is so powerful.
Xiang Zhili was secretly surprised.
Old Monster Feng showed an interested look, obviously he also noticed the signs.
The three of them removed the breath-concealing spiritual light on their bodies and quickly came to the edge of the pond, feeling the cold ghostly wind blowing past them, making their whole bodies feel chilly.
Everyone came to the spiritual world from the lower realm, so they attached great importance to their ability to conceal their breath, so it was not surprising that they could hide it from the Wood Clan's divine cultivator.
This is because Qi Yuan has not yet made the Taiyi Huaqing Talisman on the Golden Palace Jade Book, otherwise, with its hidden effect, it would be useless even if a cultivator in the Refining Void Stage came.
A few plops!
Qi Yuan and the others jumped into the pool one after another, splashing a little water. Once they entered the pool, wherever they looked, they saw dark colors.
At the same time, there were many water ghosts lurking at the bottom of the pool, trying to attack them.
The pure golden Buddha light on his body flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "You all should disperse quickly, or I will send you to reincarnation."
These water ghosts all have a certain level of cultivation. Since they have entered the cycle of reincarnation and stayed at the bottom of the pool, it means that they are thinking of becoming a ghost cultivator.
Then several sharp sounds were heard from the bottom of the pool, and several white lights suddenly flashed in the dark water and disappeared into the distance.
“Junior Brother Qi’s Buddha’s light is much more profound. It is much more powerful than the one when he forcibly broke through to the Spirit Transformation Stage in Kunwu Mountain.” Xiang Zhili said in amazement.
Old Monster Feng said, "I heard that the Buddhist formula requires the casting of a golden body in order to maximize the power of the Buddha's light. When will Fellow Daoist Qi condense the golden body of the Buddha's Dharma?"
"Since I cannot leave Tianyuan City in the short term, Qi has not thought about this problem. Besides, compared with the golden body of Buddhism, it is more important to improve my cultivation right now." Qi Yuan responded as he dived deeper.
Xiang Zhili's body was always surrounded by a faint spiritual light, avoiding the cold water. He said, "That makes sense. In the human world, one can walk freely in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but in the Spiritual World, one becomes less powerful. One should pay more attention to the realm."
As the three of them chatted with each other, they soon dived to the bottom of the pool which was a hundred feet deep.
I saw a two-meter-two-meter-high portal of light floating on the dark green wall of the pond. It was flashing in orange, red, green, and blue colors, and its spiritual light was quite extraordinary.
"This is the entrance to the secret spiritual medicine garden. I don't know what's going on inside, senior brother." Xiang Zhili said, staring at it.
Old Monster Feng said, "What should we do? Why don't we just charge in? After all, we have the advantage in numbers."
“This is the only way.” Qi Yuan summoned the Five Elements Futian Tower, let it float beside him, and said in a deep voice.
Xiang Zhili nodded, opened his mouth and spat out a scarlet triangular command arrow, then took out a vermilion forbidden-breaking talisman, and after inputting mana, the talisman transformed into a little bit of spiritual light, firmly attached to the forbidden area at the entrance, and quietly corroded the things that were in the way...
Said: "The ban has been broken, the people inside will soon notice something is wrong, let's go in quickly and control them."
As he said this, he rushed into the entrance first, and the light instantly submerged his figure.
Qi Yuan's mind moved, making the Five Elements Futian Tower shine brighter, and he flashed in to protect his safety. Before the dazzling light faded away, he heard several loud shouts.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the territory of my Mu Clan?"
"It's bad, Brother Kuang, they are human cultivators, quickly kill the invaders."
In an instant, Qi Yuan felt the Five Elements Futian Tower shaking, and it was obviously attacked by someone.
At the same time, there were also fierce fighting fluctuations not far away, which was definitely caused by Senior Brother Xiang and the cultivators of the Wood Clan fighting each other.
When Qi Yuan opened his eyes, he saw a ferocious Wood Clan Divine Transformation Monk coming towards him. There was a bright green light gathered in his palm, and he looked quite powerful.
As the sword flashed, a transparent sword energy about two feet and eight inches long condensed out, one became two, two became three...
Three pure sword energies went straight to the vital points of the Wood Clan's Divine Transformation cultivator.
The Wood Clan's Divine Transformation cultivator saw that the opportunity was lost, so he turned in the air, and the green light on his palm broke away and suddenly transformed into a three-meter-long wooden shield that stood in front of him.
The Mu Yuan Shield flashed green light, and a semicircular spiritual shield suddenly appeared, with the rosy glow covering most of the void.
The Immaculate Sword Qi pierced the Mu Yuan Shield fiercely, making a sharp metallic sound. In the blink of an eye, chaotic blue-white spiritual energy was vibrated and spread to a distance of hundreds of feet.
At this moment, Old Monster Feng also entered the secret spiritual medicine garden. In his palms were two ochre-colored beads, as big as cow eyes, and wisps of earth-attributed aura wafted out.
Then, they were offered to the Wood Clan cultivator who was fighting with Qi Yuan. The aura of the two ochre beads was extremely strong, and their spiritual power was needless to say.
The ferocious Wood Clan cultivator was so frightened that he withdrew and moved away fifty feet away in a flash.
boom!
Two ochre beads smashed heavily on the wooden shield, causing it to crack instantly and dissipate into green smoke with a bang.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, let's work together to control this Wood Clan cultivator first, and then go help Old Monster Xiang." Old Monster Feng glanced to the left and saw that Xiang Zhili was fighting hard with a Wood Clan cultivator in crane robes, and there was no danger in the short term.
"it is good!"
The Five Elements Futian Tower beside Qi Yuan made a buzzing sound and disappeared in a flash. In a blink of an eye, it turned into a giant tower sixty meters high. The colorful luster was crystal clear, and it gave off an imposing aura like a mountain pressing down on one's head.
The next moment, he suppressed the Wood Clan cultivators.
He formed a seal with one hand again, and the Five Elements Vajra Circle suddenly appeared. The palm-sized colorful circle was thrown into the void by him.
Within a few breaths, it transformed into a width of about ten feet and at the same time moved towards the Wood Clan cultivator.
What a terrifying force of confinement and suppression.
The corner of Old Monster Feng's eyes twitched suddenly. If he were to face Qi Yuan, he would definitely secretly groan in pain. He was not afraid of his opponent fighting a bloody battle with him, but he was afraid that his opponent would have such profound control over the situation that he would be unable to breathe and could not exert any strength.
Then he remotely controlled two ochre beads and cooperated with Qi Yuan to block the way of the Wood Clan cultivators.
The face of the Wood Clan cultivator was gloomy as water. Facing attacks from three directions, his heart felt extremely heavy. He shook his sleeves and a three-inch flying knife shot out, with the sound of breaking through the air incessantly.
The three-inch flying knife slashed across the Five Elements Futian Tower sharply, causing a large amount of sparks to burst out, then spun back and chopped down fiercely again.
The flying knife's aura improved, dragging a blade energy of hundreds of meters, causing the nearby spiritual energy to move away.
However, two ochre beads flashed strangely, attacking the three-inch flying knife from the left and right. There seemed to be a strong attraction between the two beads, and they both crashed into each other.
Click!
The flying knife in the middle of the beads was clamped violently, and a crisp sound of breaking could be heard faintly.
The face of the Wood Clan cultivator suddenly turned pale, and his figure flashed to the right. He formed seals with his hands, and more than a dozen green spears floated behind him, then locked onto the Five Elements Vajra Circle and fell down rapidly.
Qi Yuan pointed his sword and the Five Elements Vajra Circle shifted out, escaping the attack of the green spear. With a thought, the Five Elements Futian Tower went up to meet it and bravely resisted the opponent's attack.
Colorful lights and blue glows continued to burst out from the sky.
Although the Wood Clan cultivator was not very clear about the power of the Five Elements Vajra Circle, he had practiced for many years and had trained himself to be keen in detecting danger, and he then silently recited the mantra.
In an instant, his body transformed into a towering spiritual tree, and the Five Elements Vajra Circle suddenly wrapped around it.
Then, not far away, the ferocious Wood Clan cultivator appeared strangely, looking quite weak. He used his clone spirit tree to block the Five Elements Vajra Circle instead of his original body, and the mana required was naturally consumed in huge amounts.
Qi Yuan saw that the Five Elements Vajra had trapped the empty shell, but his expression remained unmoved. With the help of Old Monster Feng, he did not need to use all his strength.
In a flash, two ochre beads appeared behind the Wood Clan cultivator, then burst out with brilliant ochre light and hit the target's back hard.
In an instant, even the defensive treasures on his body dimmed and he suddenly fell forward.
The Five Elements Futian Tower descended from the sky, and took advantage of the situation to cover the Wood Clan monks inside the tower, suppressing them with the continuous power of the Five Elements.
Successfully eliminated a Wood Clan monk.
Qi Yuan turned his gaze to the other side, turned his sword, and the Five Elements Vajra Circle quickly joined the battle.
Old Monster Feng was not vague either. He immediately controlled two ochre beads to help Xiang Zhili.
The three of them joined forces and quickly restrained the remaining Wood Clan monks after a chaotic fight with swords, spears, and halberds.
At this point, the fight came to an end.
"Hehe, things are going extremely smoothly. Let's go to the medicine garden right away." Old Monster Feng said cheerfully.
Xiang Zhili nodded slowly. He also knew the importance of racing against time and it was not advisable to stay here for too long.
Qi Yuan's figure flashed and he fled into the distance. A moment later, he came to a spiritual medicine garden surrounded by restrictions, where thousands of lush green spiritual medicines were planted, each emitting a vibrant breath.
Naturally, this restriction could not withstand their magic power and was broken in an instant.
"Red Soul Spirit Flower!" Xiang Zhili shouted in shock after stepping into the medicine garden, and his figure landed in front of a spiritual medicine.
This elixir is his main purpose. When taken by a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, it has an unparalleled effect of prolonging life.
It was just right for refining the essence to extend the life of the wife of the Xu family's headmaster and repay the favor.
