Chapter 119
After getting rid of Sun Miaomiao, Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng wandered in the forest for a few more days with no luck.
Seven days later.
“Evening Primrose, mature.”
“Tri-colored Phalaenopsis, semi-mature.”
“Cyclamen, semi-mature.”
“Seven-leafed Lucky Grass, semi-mature.”
……
A series of alarms sounded in Xiao Jingting’s ear, making him feel a little strange. The spirit grasses would usually repel each other and precious spirit grasses usually wouldn’t grow in one place. But jade pendant popped out a dozen different kinds of spirit grasses all at once, which meant they could have encountered a medicinal garden.
Xiao Jingting couldn’t help but feel a little excited. A medicinal garden! It was a great chance to come across a medicinal garden!
Xiao Jingting followed the instructions of the jade pendant and walked up the mountain and with little effort, he broke the hidden array outside the mountain wall and walked into a cave with Xiao Jinfeng. When Xiao Jingting did it, he kept his eyes wide open and only destroyed a little bit. Afterwards, he made some disguises to avoid others from finding him.
“Jingting, how did you know there was an illusion array in that place outside?” Xiao Jinfeng was filled with curiosity.
“I have wood attribute and I have noticed that the wood aura here is very rich. There should be some high-grade spirit grasses, but I haven’t seen any, so I gave it a try.” Xiao Jingting half-sincerely said.
“This place was so well hidden. It’s really great karma that helped us to find it.” Xiao Jinfeng was filled with excitement.
Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng walked into the cave and found that inside, it became bigger.
There was a cultivation room, a medicinal garden, and a book room in the cave. A cultivator sat in the cultivation room. Xiao Jinfeng judged that the cultivator should have been in the cultivation room for at least a hundred years.
There was a jade tablet beside the seated cultivator, Xiao Jingting learned from it that the seated cultivator was called Wang Huacheng. He was a wood cultivator who once reached the Foundation building stage. But he was secretly plotted against during the Foundation building stage, so his cultivation was greatly reduced and his lifespan was shorten considerably.
To hide himself from his enemies and regain his cultivation, Wang Huacheng made a cave in the Biyue mountain and planted spiritual grasses, cultivating while waiting for them to mature. Unfortunately, he deceased before the spiritual grass mature. After Wang Huacheng’s death, the spiritual grasses he planted matured in succession.
Wang Huacheng was at the Foundation Building Stage so this cave residence he chose was naturally unusual. Xiao Jingting found that Wang Huacheng’s cave was built on a spiritual vein.
The aura in the cave was very dense, and there was also a stone pool in the cave where a lot of spiritual milk had accumulated.
Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng simply repaired the illusion array at the entrance of the cave and made some disguises to cultivate in the cave.
There was ample spiritual energy in the cave, and there was spirit milk expanding the meridians to regulate the body. In addition, they found some pills on Wang Huacheng’s body and with them, their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds and they soon entered the seventh level of Qi Practice.
…………
Xiao Jingting shared the mature spirit grasses in the medicinal garden with Xiao Jinfeng, and secretly transplanted some young seedlings into his jade pendant space.
Xiao Jingting discovered that although the jade pendant space could ripen spirit grasses, ripening spirit grasses would cause the aura in the space to decrease.
Therefore, the more spiritual grasses were thrown into the space, the better it was. Jade and spirit stones could improve the aura intensity in jade pendant space and help ripen more spiritual grasses. He needed to earn more spirit stones, so that the aura provided by the spirit stones and the spiritual grasses thrown into the space would maintain a balance.
Xiao Jingting found quite a few low-grade pills on Wang Huacheng’s body. However, not many spirit stones were found. Xiao Jingting guessed that Wang Huacheng had used up all the spirit stones and because of their low grade, pills were spared. After all, Wang Huacheng was a foundation building cultivator. If his cultivation didn’t fall, he would not become so weak.
After more than a month went by, the secret realm was about to close in the blink of an eye. After continuous cultivation, Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng had smoothly become cultivators of the seventh level of Qi Practice.
“Let’s get out of here,” Xiao Jinfeng said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes.”
When the time came, the Biyue Forest would be closed and it would be more than ten years later when it would open again.
In fact, there were abundant resources in the Biyue forest and some people were willing to stay. But before the forest was closed, the Marquis would send Foundation Building cultivators over to clear out those who hadn’t gone out yet. All the harvests of those who were found to be stranded by the Marquis would be withheld. If there was a problem and you couldn’t get out, it was alright but those who stayed with malicious intent would be punished.
At the beginning, there were thousands of cultivators who entered the secret realm. But only one or two out of ten come out, many of them were unkempt.
There were also quite a few who got a chance in the forest and soared into the heavens.
Xiao Jinfeng handed over all the harvest on his body to Xiao Jingting. The first ten in this competition would receive Ice Heart Pill and the time Xiao Jinfeng and Xiao Jingting spent on cultivation put them behind. They could not be compared with those who readily took out a large amount of identity cards. The good thing they had was a lot of spirit grasses from the medicine garden. The high-grade spirit grasses could be exchanged for many points.
Xiao Jingting kept at least one copy of each spirit grass he had obtained, in the secret realm in his jade pendant space. The rest was taken out to be exchanged for points and pills.
After turning in his harvest, Xiao Jingting received the eighth place in exchange for some useful pills.
Xiao Qingyan’s luck wasn’t bad, nor was it very good. Xiao Qingyan and the people from the Bifeng Academy formed a group to jointly participate in the hunting. But as a result, halfway down the road, they went their separate ways because of the uneven division of the spoils. Although Xiao Qingyan used special means to advance to the sixth level of Qi Practice, he was after all still at sixth level of Qi Practice, so he gained quite a bit along the way.
Only when leaving the secret realm, he encountered a team led by a seventh level Qi Cultivator who specialized in blocking cultivators who were leaving the forest. Xiao Qingyan had no choice but to use all of his possessions to save his life, so much so that in this competition, he gained nothing, but at least he saved his life.
Many people from the Xiao family who came, died this time. Xiao Muhong disappeared, and Sun Miaomiao survived, but with no gain.
