104: Seize the Jiuqing Fruit

A lively and lovely young girl in a green dress with twin ponytails walked towards the crowd.

Lu Xingchen was bewildered; he didn't recognize her.

The other 14 people simultaneously bowed.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Only then did Lu Xingchen realize she was the Princess of the Liyun Kingdom.

The King of Liyun Kingdom, Cloud Mountain, had few offspring, only two daughters: the elder daughter, Yun Yun, and the younger daughter, Yun Duo.

At first glance, this young girl hadn't fully matured yet, so she was likely the young Princess, Yun Duo.

What shocked Lu Xingchen was that above Yun Duo's head were the prominent words "Seven-Star Martial Spirit."

Although Yun Duo's Realm was the lowest among the four captains, she was only 16 years old!

She wasn't even an adult yet, two years younger than Lu Xingchen.

This Cultivate speed was simply incredible.

However, Lu Xingchen didn't belittle himself.

As the young Princess of the Liyun Kingdom, Yun Duo must have been nurtured from a young age, raised with various Heaven And Earth Treasures and precious Medicinal Pills, so her fast Cultivate speed was normal.

He was confident that with the System, he would soon surpass Yun Duo!

Yun Duo said in a sweet voice, "Staying in the imperial palace to Cultivate is truly too boring. I finally managed to get the chance to come to the Tianlun Medicine Garden. Li Gui, Wang Long, Li Yang, don't disappoint me!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled.

This young Princess was truly confident. She hadn't even entered the Medicine Garden yet, and she was already challenging everyone.

Was she arrogant, or did she truly have a hidden trump card?

Li Gui was also stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, we won't disappoint Your Highness!"

A quarter of an hour later, the Spirit Formation at the entrance of the Tianlun Medicine Garden dissipated, revealing a large gate.

Yun Duo smiled and said, "Since the Tianlun Medicine Garden has opened, let's each rely on our own abilities!"

With that, she led the experts of the Liyun Kingdom into the Tianlun Medicine Garden first.

The other three forces also followed.

Entering the Medicine Garden, what greeted their eyes was a forest with trees that blocked out the sun, grass that reached their ankles, and the fragrance of unknown wildflowers.

The four forces tacitly dispersed, each going to search for Spirit Medicine.

After all, everyone had a background, and for the sake of relations between their Sects and countries, there was no need for unnecessary conflict as long as there were no conflicts of interest.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Li Gui, the Tianlun Medicine Garden is so vast. Are we going to search it inch by inch?"

Li Gui chuckled, "Junior Brother Lu, you're overthinking it. Our Cangxuan Sect Disciples are not new to the Tianlun Medicine Garden. Our predecessors left us a map, and the three Spirit Medicines the Cangxuan Sect needs are all on it."

"Once we've picked these three Spirit Medicines, we'll go out and search for other Spirit Medicines to fill our own pockets."

"However, this map is a year old. We don't know if the locations of these Spirit Medicines have changed."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Having a map is better than not having one. Where is our first stop?"

Li Gui took out the map and glanced at it, then said in a deep voice, "Let's go to Angel Lake first. It's closest to us, and there's a Spirit Medicine the Sect needs: Nine Qing Fruit."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll follow your lead."

Half an hour later, the five arrived at Angel Lake.

The lake was calm and peaceful, appearing serene, with birds singing and flowers fragrant all around.

There was a small island in the center of the lake, and a plant on the island emitted a faint fragrance, with a golden-yellow fruit on its branches.

Li Gui said in a deep voice, "That should be the Nine Qing Fruit. What do you say? Should we swim over?"

Lu Xingchen waved his hand, "Senior Brother Li, don't rush. All Heaven And Earth Treasures are basically guarded by Yao Beasts. If I'm not mistaken, this Yao Beast might be waiting for us at the bottom of the lake."

Li Gui frowned, "That's very reasonable. What should we do then?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I have a flying Martial Skill, and with the shadow sword's displacement, even if I run into a powerful Yao Beast, I'll be fine. Let me lure it out, and then we'll work together to kill it!"

Li Gui nodded heavily, "Junior Brother Lu, as expected of you. With you, our team's combat power will be greatly enhanced! In that case, I'll leave it to you."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, then left a shadow sword scabbard on the shore, unleashed his Azure Cloud Wings, and flew towards the Nine Qing Fruit.

As Lu Xingchen flew to the center of the lake, a three-meter-thick water column rose from the bottom of the lake and slammed heavily towards him.

Lu Xingchen immediately activated the shadow sword, teleporting back to the shore.

The water column fell, and a giant turtle surfaced.

Li Gui frowned, and said in a deep voice, "A turtle-type Yao Beast has very strong defense. The advantage of our numbers might not be fully utilized because it will be difficult for us to break through its defense."

Lu Xingchen looked at the turtle's head: a Fourth-rank Five-star Yao Beast.

Lu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "It's only a Fourth-rank Five-star, we can try fighting it first. If we can't break its defense, it won't be able to catch up to us either."

Li Gui nodded heavily, "That's true. Cangxuan Sect members, attack!"

The five simultaneously launched an attack on the turtle-type Yao Beast.

The turtle-type Yao Beast let out a roar, and an azure-green Demonic Power shield appeared on its body.

The crowd's attacks landed on the shield, creating ripples, but they still couldn't break through its defense.

At the same time, five three-meter-thick water columns rose from the lake, smashing towards the five people.

Lu Xingchen used "Ghost Shadow Steps" to avoid the water columns' attack.

Unexpectedly, the water column made a turn and flew towards him again.

Lu Xingchen was startled and shouted loudly, "This Yao Beast's attack has a tracking effect, everyone be careful!"

There was no avoiding it, so he could only take it head-on.

Lu Xingchen held his shadow sword and unleashed an "Azure Dragon Slash" at the water column.

A giant azure Dragon flew out from the shadow sword's blade, slamming heavily into the water column.

The next moment, the water column was directly shattered, and the pouring rain soaked Lu Xingchen's clothes.

He wiped the water from his forehead, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He had guessed correctly; this turtle-type Yao Beast was strong in defense, but its attack power was only at the level of an ordinary Fourth-rank Five-star Yao Beast, not enough to cause him harm.

The other four also neutralized the attack.

Except for Wang Dong, whose Realm was too low and was sent flying, the other three were also unharmed.

After Wang Dong was sent flying, he rolled several times on the ground before getting up, then stared intently at Lu Xingchen.

This guy, he's already a Three-Star Martial Spirit so quickly?

A month ago, when he fought Wang Hao, he was only a One-Star Martial Spirit.

This Cultivate speed was too fast!

Moreover, both of them were Three-Star, so why was the gap so huge?

Lu Xingchen was unharmed, yet he himself was so disheveled.

Was there still justice?

Was there still law?

Li Gui also looked at Lu Xingchen with a shocked expression.

"Junior Brother Lu, you've improved again?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Just a stroke of luck! That's not important, let's deal with the Yao Beast in front of us first!"
