Tempered Immortal

Chapter 257: Harvesting The Spirit Herbs

Tian Xiaojian waved his sleeve and summoned back the ghostly fog. Duan San’s figure re-emerged, and his appearance was dry and scorched like a zombie, as if he had aged for decades in an instant.

Then it weathered into sand, and drifted with the wind, not only his body but also his soul.

Lin Xuan was expressionless, but he was shocked inwardly. In terms of their skill with the Profound Demon Scripture, his opponent’s magical power was still better than his. But on second thought, he couldn’t help but laugh. The other party has the Extreme Demon Venerable to guide him, so he’s naturally better than him at cultivating based only on a Jade slip.

But he didn’t need to belittle himself. He also practiced the Nine Heavens Profound Art, and in terms of power, it was still hard to say which was weaker and which was stronger.

After some twists and turns, the two naturally didn’t delay any longer. After putting away Duan San’s storage bag, the two left the pavilion.

Looking at the other pavilions in the distance, Tian Xiaojian’s eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, “Big Brother Lin, let’s split up and act separately. As far as I know, besides Elder Liu, there are nearly ten Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators guarding the Wondrous Medicine Valley. Although we’re not afraid of them with our magical powers, it would be really difficult if they gathered together after being alerted. It’s best to remove these guards secretly.”

“Mm.” Lin Xuan nodded without objecting. He turned into a blue ray of light and flew towards the buildings on the left. Looking at his back, Tian Xiaojian’s face turned gloomy. Then he shook his head and flew to the right.

Soon, he came upon a row of buildings. Lin Xuan’s figure turned fainter, and his aura became barely discernible. Like a ghost, he flashed into a building.

However, very soon, he came out with a trace of surprise on his face. After a little hesitation, he plunged into another chamber several dozen feet away…

Ten minutes later.

Lin Xuan and Tian Xiaojian re-joined at the meet-up location. However, the two of them had bewildered expressions on their faces.

“Big Brother Lin, it seems that you’ve encountered a similar situation.”

“That’s right.”Lin Xuan nodded. “When I entered, those cultivators were already dead.”

“Yes, they were poisoned, most likely by Duan San. He probably wanted to blame it on us. However, this way, it saved us the trouble of doing it ourselves. Now that all the guards are dead, it’s more convenient for us to make a move.” Tian Xiaojian touched his chin and analyzed.

“Well, that should be the case. We should hurry, if the other members of the Heavenly Vision Sect discover something strange. We’ll be in big trouble.” Lin Xuan also agreed with that statement.

Immediately, the two men controlled their weapons and went into the depths of the Wondrous Medicine Valley.

Soon, they arrived at a small garden; the Spiritual Qi inside was extremely abundant. Tian Xiaojian took out a palm-sized token that he found in Elder Liu’s storage bag. As soon as he raised his hand, several rays of light shot out from the token and flew towards the Herb Garden. Moments later, a few glimmers of light flashed inside, and there was a burst of noise like fried beans being popped.

“Well, the restriction has been temporarily closed by me. Just like the Cloud-Splitting Light Array, its central point is also the eye of the spring. Now let’s go destroy it.” After Tian Xiaojian finished speaking, he didn’t know whether it was unintentional or that he intentionally wanted to eliminate Lin Xuan’s doubts. Then he turned into a black streak of light and flew in the direction of the Herb Garden.

In the air, Lin Xuan touched his chin, thought for a while, and then followed behind him.

The Herb Garden was not too big, only a few hundred square meters, but all kinds of exotic flowers and plants were flourishing in its vicinity. Lin Xuan’s gaze landed on a purple plant, about a foot tall.

Myriad Forms Grass!

It took quite a lot of effort. But finally, he found it, even with Lin Xuan’s mental fortitude, he couldn’t help but reveal a hint of ecstasy.

At this time, there was no need to be polite, Lin Xuan took out a cyan storage bag from the waist.

Spirit Grass bag!

As the name suggests, this object is designed to hold a variety of exotic flowers and herbs. Although it couldn’t be compared to the time when it’s growing in the soil, persevering its Spiritual Qi energy for a few months could be done easily.

“My dear brother, hopefully, I’m not being rude.”

“Please go ahead.” Tian Xiaojian didn’t break his promise, but there was a faint flash in the depth of his eyes.

Lin Xuan opened the mouth of the bag and a blue cloud flew out.

He swept through every corner of the garden like a tornado. Soon, except for some immature Spirit Grass, the rest of the herbs were all placed into Lin Xuan’s pocket.

Lin Xuan’s face was full of satisfaction. Not to mention that these treasures were worth tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones, and many of them were ancient herbs that were now extinct in the outside world. They couldn’t even be bought with Spirit Stones.

However, Lin Xuan was also kind enough to leave the seedlings and the immature Spirit Grass to his opponent. Although the Heavenly Vision Sect had suffered some huge losses, it was not completely bad. After waiting for hundreds or thousands of years, those Spirit Herbs will naturally mature again.

Lin Xuan wouldn’t kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. He had to leave a little room for everything!

“Congratulations Big Brother, please help me destroy the spring eye.”

“My dear brother, don’t hesitate to instruct me!” Lin Xuan patted his chest.

The two of them came to the middle of the Herb Garden, which was the place most abundant with energy. A spring appeared before their eyes.

The spring water was crystal-clear, and traces of Spiritual Qi emerged from the inside.

Don’t look down upon it. Although it was only the size of a bowl, it was the key to the Spiritual Vein of Heavenly Vision Mountain.

As long as it was destroyed, the Spiritual Qi within dozens of miles away would no longer be able to gather, and would gradually disperse. As a result, the natural power of the Cloud-Splitting Light Array based on the underground Spiritual Vein would be greatly reduced.

With the Heavenly Vision Sect lacking its powerful protection. Both of the two factions could take advantage of this opportunity. However, since they’re privy to this news first, the Extreme Demon Cave’s probability of profiting from their disaster was naturally greater.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiaojian glanced at Lin Xuan, and then said happily, “Big Brother, this spirit eye is born from heaven and earth. Although it can’t be protected with restrictions, it’s naturally strong by itself. Although my master is very powerful, I’m untalented. Now, I’m only at the Foundation Establishment Late-stage. It’s very difficult to destroy the spring eye by myself, so you should attack it with me at the same time.”

“Well, no problem.” Lin Xuan nodded.

After a smile, Tian Xiaojian opened his mouth and squirted out a black ray of light. It was the Flying Sword that he had seen before. but compared to when he used it to deal with Duan San, his expression was more serious this time. He made a hand-seal with both hands, and several rays of light shot upwards and hit it.

After absorbing the magical power, the sword immediately expanded, and in an instant it became seven or eight feet long, shining brightly with a backlight. What was even more strange was that when the blade trembled, it faintly emitted the sound of wailing ghosts. Judging from the momentum, let alone a small spring, it seemed that it could even split a mountain in half.
