93: Chapter 93 The Appearance of the Elixir

As long as there were no opponents who were overly formidable, and the timing was right, the Spirit Medicine obtained might well end up belonging to them.

Lin Shen thought to himself.

Following Mo Xiaoyu along the way, he walked towards the medicine garden shrouded in mist.

Their sudden appearance immediately aroused the vigilance of the others present.

"Senior Sister Mo!"

Under the watchful, wary eyes of the others, a delicate-looking female cultivator dressed in a green dress flew quickly towards Mo Xiaoyu with a smile on her face.

A waft of fragrant breeze drifted through the air.

The delicate female cultivator in the green dress appeared directly beside Mo Xiaoyu.

She said to Mo Xiaoyu with a beaming smile, "Senior Sister Mo, it seems we truly have fate between us. I didn't expect that after such a short time, we would be able to team up."

After speaking, she nodded to Lin Shen beside her and said, "Junior Brother Lin has grown even more handsome. If a conflict arises later, I hope Junior Brother Lin will take extra care of your Senior Sister."

This female cultivator was named Chu Yiyi, who had formed an Alliance with Mo Xiaoyu back on the spiritual boat.

Mo Xiaoyu also hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence that as soon as she walked out of the boundless sand sea and arrived in this oasis, she bumped into Chu Yiyi.

Seeing Chu Yiyi, Mo Xiaoyu also nodded with a smile and said, "I was originally a bit worried that if a conflict broke out later, our strength might fall short. Now that Junior Sister Chu is also here, with the three of us joining forces, we don't need to fear the others."

"Heehee, of course, of course!"

Chu Yiyi nodded with a laugh, her eyes curved like crescent moons, and her lips formed a pretty arc. Staring straight at Lin Shen, she giggled and said, "Senior Sister Mo and Junior Brother Lin are both formidable, with plenty of trump cards at your disposal. If anyone else dares to snatch what we obtain, I'm sure Junior Brother Lin will be the absolute first to object!"

Chu Yiyi was well aware of Lin Shen's background—a Perfect Foundation Establishment cultivator with outstanding talent in the Sword Dao, possessing extraordinary strength.

Excluding the trump cards granted by elders, among the three of them, Lin Shen was definitely the strongest.

"I wouldn't dare steal Senior Sister's thunder!"

Looking at the giggling Chu Yiyi, Lin Shen merely said indifferently, "For Senior Sister to secure a spot, you must also have numerous trump cards. In our Alliance, we must naturally all do our part; I wouldn't dare steal the spotlight all by myself!"

In truth, he felt immense disgust towards a shameless green tea bitch like Chu Yiyi.

Considering her actual age, as someone who could achieve a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, Chu Yiyi was already in her thirties or forties. Even if her appearance hadn't changed, her mindset had long since matured.

For her to still act like a young girl was truly sickening.

Furthermore, her intentions were extremely sinister. She clearly put on a delicate front to evoke sympathy, intending to let him rush to the frontlines while she reaped the benefits from behind.

Such a person!

Deserved to die!

Thinking about Chu Yiyi's wicked intentions, Lin Shen sneered repeatedly in his heart and began calculating how to maximize his use of her.

Sensing Lin Shen's lukewarm attitude, Chu Yiyi merely smiled and said, "What Junior Brother says makes sense. However, those with greater ability should do more work. If Junior Brother puts in more effort, the resources and Opportunities allocated to you will naturally be greater as well. I can certainly distinguish that much."

Although she said that on the surface...

...her favorable impression of Lin Shen plummeted in her heart.

A delicate, striking beauty like herself stood right before him, yet instead of showing chivalry, he brought up business and interests first.

Disgusting!

Simply disgusting!

"It is good that Senior Sister Chu understands!"

Lin Shen nodded indifferently, treating Chu Yiyi with cold neutrality.

If Lin Shen knew what Chu Yiyi was thinking, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist slaying her with a single strike long ago.

This was the world of immortal cultivation!

A dog-eat-dog cultivation world where profit reigned supreme and strength was respected above all!

The weak were nothing more than ants!

Who cared if you were male or female?

Who cared what you looked like?

In the face of sufficient benefits and Opportunities, regardless of age or gender, anyone who stood in the way would be slaughtered without mercy!

"Alright, alright, let's just stick to our previous Alliance agreement! Everyone contributes together—no one suffers a loss, and no one takes advantage!"

Mo Xiaoyu waved her hand, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with Chu Yiyi as well.

Were it not for the fact that Chu Yiyi's strength was decent, why would she ever have formed an Alliance with such a person?

No one understood a woman's mind better than another woman.

Thankfully, her Junior Brother Lin Shen was impervious to persuasion and completely immune to female charms.

Otherwise, once bewitched by Chu Yiyi's beauty, he would likely become a sucker charging ahead to work for her for free.

Accompanied by Chu Yiyi and Lin Shen, Mo Xiaoyu walked forward under the watchful eyes of the others.

Observing the density of the surrounding mist, Mo Xiaoyu nodded slightly and whispered to Lin Shen and Chu Yiyi, "Get ready. This mist should dissipate soon. Before long, some aged Spirit Medicines will likely fly out. We'll gather them all first, and once we safely leave this place, we'll divide them based on our respective contributions."

"No problem at all."

Lin Shen and Chu Yiyi nodded repeatedly.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the three walked to a corner nearby, sat cross-legged on the ground, and closed their eyes to rest.

Thinking that a conflict might break out before long, both Mo Xiaoyu and Lin Shen swallowed a Medicinal Pill to restore Spiritual Qi and began rapidly recovering the Spiritual Qi in their bodies.

Seeing this, the others did not act rashly either, instead keeping their eyes fixed on the mist-shrouded medicine garden.

Making a move now was not worth it.

Attacking others rashly right now would only allow others to reap the benefits for free.

It was better to wait until a large amount of Spirit Medicine flew out from the medicine garden, and then snatch from others according to the preciousness of the herbs.

Of course, if one obtained the most precious Spirit Medicine, they naturally wouldn't bother robbing others, but would quickly leave to avoid being robbed themselves.

The people from the Five Great Sects maintained a delicate balance as they gathered around the mist-shrouded medicine garden.

About two or three hours passed.

The mist gradually dissipated.

Three more Disciples from other Sects had arrived in the oasis.

"It's coming!"

Lin Shen, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped his eyes open and leapt into the air.

As he moved, the mist shrouding the medicine garden rapidly cleared, and rays of light of various colors quickly flew out from within the garden.

Those were individual stalks of Spirit Medicine.

Each ray of light represented Spirit Medicine of a different age, with white light indicating the youngest age and golden light indicating the highest age.

Lin Shen soared out, ignoring all other Spirit Medicines, and reached out with his hand, swiftly charging toward the swift and fierce golden ray of light.

Sensing the rich medicinal fragrance emanating from that golden ray of light, Lin Shen's breathing quickened slightly.

Judging solely by this dense medicinal aroma, the age of the Spirit Medicine contained within this golden light was definitely no less than five thousand years.

If its quality was high enough, its value might even surpass that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine.

After all, an older Spirit Medicine wasn't necessarily more precious; it mostly depended on its efficacy and how rare and valuable that efficacy was.

For instance, an ordinary ten-thousand-year Qi Gathering Grass, despite its high age and concentrated efficacy, only underwent a slight qualitative change, making it nowhere near as valuable as a rare and precious thousand-year Spirit Medicine that could assist in cultivation in the Golden Core Realm.
