103: Tianlun Medicine Garden

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly, "No need. My time is precious, I need to return to the Sect to Cultivate as soon as possible!"

Wan Dazhuang nodded slightly, no longer trying to persuade him, choosing to respect Lu Xingchen's decision.

After writing the mission report and stamping it with the City Lord's seal, Wan Dazhuang handed it to Li Gui and said with a smile, "My young friends, thank you for coming to help this time."

Li Gui took the mission report and bid farewell to Wan Dazhuang.

The five of them rode their horses back to Cangxuan Sect.

On the way, Wang Dong asked curiously, "Lu Xingchen, what exactly was that move you used against Ye Chen? Ye Chen's body wasn't damaged at all, but he immediately lost his combat ability. That's terrifying! He's a Six-Star Martial Spirit!"

The other three didn't speak, but they all listened intently.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Soul attack."

Hearing this, Wang Dong was greatly astonished.

"I'm also an Alchemist. I know about Soul Realms, but I'm only at the Middle Stage Mortal Realm. Lu Xingchen, have you reached the Late Mortal Realm?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "You could say you guessed correctly."

Receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Dong became even more excited.

"No wonder you could defeat Li Hua in Alchemy, so you're already at the Late Mortal Realm! You're impressive!"

The other three were completely confused.

They knew nothing about Soul Power, not even the Realm divisions.

But they could be sure that Lu Xingchen's combat power definitely far exceeded a Two-Star Martial Spirit.

After all, he defeated Ye Chen in just one move.

And Ye Chen was a Six-Star Martial Spirit!

After returning to Cangxuan Sect, Lu Xingchen immediately went to the Spirit Gathering Pagoda to Cultivate. Before parting, he said to Li Gui, "Senior Brother Li Gui, if there are any suitable Disciple missions in the future, I hope you can take me along. I need to complete the five missions required to enter the Inner Sect as soon as possible."

Li Gui nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lu's strength is obvious to everyone. This mission was successfully completed entirely thanks to you. If there are other missions in the future, I will notify you immediately!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Li!"

Lu Xingchen stayed in the Spirit Gathering Pagoda for another twenty days, raising his Realm to Three-Star Martial Spirit.

His Soul Power was also growing vigorously, feeling like a Breakthrough wouldn't take much longer.

Ten days later, Lu Xingchen went to Li Gui to deliver the Medicinal Pills.

Li Gui smiled and said to him, "Junior Brother Lu, there's a new mission. Do you want to team up with me?"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "First, tell me about the mission."

Li Gui said with a smile, "This mission happens every year, and it's a hot commodity. Many people are eager to do it. I only managed to get it thanks to the power of Ghost Gate."

"It's like this: there's a Secret Realm in the Tianlun Mountain Range, and within it are various precious Spirit Medicine, known as the Tianlun Medicine Garden. The Disciples of Cangxuan Sect were the first to discover the Tianlun Medicine Garden, but Cangxuan Sect couldn't monopolize it, so they reached an agreement with two other Seventh-Rank Sects and the Liyun Kingdom."

"The Tianlun Medicine Garden opens once a year, and the four factions send experts below the Martial King Realm to collect Spirit Medicine. The amount of Spirit Medicine obtained depends entirely on their abilities. Because of this Realm restriction, this mission falls to us Outer Sect Disciples."

"We only need to deliver one stalk each of the three Spirit Medicine required by the Sect to complete the mission, and we can keep everything else we obtain. That's why this mission is so popular and has a lot of benefits."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat.

"There are indeed a lot of benefits, but having to compete with experts from the other two great Sects and the Liyun Kingdom, it's probably very dangerous, right?"

Li Gui nodded slightly, "It is indeed somewhat difficult. Our Cangxuan Sect and Liyun Kingdom have a good relationship and interact with each other, but we are in competition with the other two Seventh-Rank Sects, and there are often clashes."

"If we enter the Tianlun Medicine Garden, we'll likely have to fight with people from Dragon Seeking Gate and Yin Yang Sect. But there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world; obtaining Spirit Medicine requires a price."

"Junior Brother Lu, do you dare to take on this mission?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Why wouldn't I dare? Senior Brother Li Gui, we will surely return with a full harvest!"

"Hahaha! I knew it, Junior Brother Lu, you wouldn't be afraid. In that case, let's set off!"

The two arrived at the Mission Hall, and after meeting with Zheng Jinghui, Li Jie, and Wang Dong, they all headed to the Tianlun Medicine Garden together.

On the way, Lu Xingchen heard a familiar System prompt.

"Congratulations, host, you have received a mission: Return with a Full Harvest."

"Mission Requirements: Collect the three Spirit Medicine required by Cangxuan Sect in the Tianlun Medicine Garden!"

"Mission Reward: Five thousand experience points, five thousand exchange points!"

Lu Xingchen's heart rejoiced.

He would naturally receive spirit value rewards for completing Sect missions, and now the System had given him another one.

Although five thousand experience points wasn't a lot, it was still quite useful.

He immediately checked his attribute panel.

"Host: Lu Xingchen"

"Realm: Three-Star Martial Spirit"

"Experience Points: 13000 / 40000"

"exchange points: 26220"

"Talents: Eagle Eye (50), Strong Strike (50), Berserk (50), Blade Edge (50), Jade Shatter (50), Devour (50), Army Breaker (50)"

"Professions: Fourth-Grade Alchemist (80000 / 100000), Fourth-Grade Spirit Array Master (16000 / 100000)"

"Mount: Nether Dragon (Fourth Rank)"

He could only say that the path ahead was long; it would take a lot of time to Break through to the Martial King Realm!

Under Li Gui's leadership, the five of them took half a day to reach the entrance of the Tianlun Medicine Garden.

There, Disciples from Dragon Seeking Gate and Yin Yang Sect had already been waiting for a long time.

The leading Disciple of Dragon Seeking Gate was named Wang Long, a Nine-Star Martial Spirit. His four teammates were all high-star Martial Spirits.

The leading Disciple of Yin Yang Sect was named Li Yang, and his Realm was the same as Li Gui's, also an Eight-Star Martial Spirit.

As soon as Wang Long saw Li Gui, he enthusiastically approached him.

"Li Gui, you've grown up! The last time we met, you were only a Five-Star Martial Spirit, the weakest in Cangxuan Sect's team. This time, you're even a team leader!"

Li Gui snorted coldly, "Wang Long, there's no need for you to pretend. Last time, we were unlucky and didn't manage to get the sky azure grass. This time, I won't repeat the same mistake!"

Wang Long sneered, "I'm afraid this time, you'll still gain nothing!"

"Then let's each rely on our own abilities!"

Li Yang of Yin Yang Sect also walked over, smiling and trying to mediate.

"You two don't need to be so tense. The Tianlun Medicine Garden is very big, even if we don't fight, we can all get our fill!"

Li Gui nodded slightly, "I hope so. As long as Wang Long doesn't actively cause trouble for me, I'm too lazy to bother with him."

"By the way, who did Liyun Kingdom send this time?"

Just then, a beautiful voice came from afar.

"Let me play with you all!"

Everyone looked into the distance together.
