36: Medicinal Garden

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Junior Sister Lin Jing, don't just think about fighting all day. Although the Nine Ghosts Sect is an Evil Path, they have no friction with our Lingxiao Sect, so there's no need to needlessly create an enemy."

Hearing this, Lin Jing was slightly startled, and there was some displeasure in her gaze as she looked at Lu Xingchen, but she still didn't say much.

Because Lin Tian had once instructed them that the Saint was the leader of this Secret Realm expedition, and important matters should follow Lu Xingchen's arrangements.

The two Disciples of the Nine Ghosts Sect were somewhat pleased.

After all, the Lingxiao Sect had three people, and there was even a Saint stronger than Lin Jing. If they really fought, it was unknown who would win or lose.

The male Disciple of the Nine Ghosts Sect cupped his hands slightly towards Lu Xingchen and said with a smile, "I am Ghost Ink, the Saint of the Nine Ghosts Sect. She is my Junior Sister, the Young Sect Master Gui Yaoer. May I ask for your esteemed name, Big Brother?"

Lu Xingchen returned the greeting, "I am Lu Xingchen. There must be precious Spirit Medicine in this medicinal garden. Why are you just standing here and not going in?"

Ghost Ink sighed helplessly.

"Outside this medicinal garden, there is a Formation. Although it has weakened a lot over time, it is still not something we Martial Masters can break."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's eyebrows raised slightly.

The words "One-Star Grand Martial Master" were clearly visible above Ghost Ink's head, yet he deliberately suppressed his Realm. He was quite cunning!

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Now that I'm here, let's try again! Although I am only a Seven-Star Martial Master, I can still contribute."

Hearing this, both Ghost Ink and Gui Yaoer were somewhat puzzled.

Since when could a Seven-Star Martial Master become a Saint?

This Lu Xingchen must have some unknown trump card.

The two did not look down on Lu Xingchen because of his low cultivation, but instead became more vigilant.

Ghost Ink said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, let's each unleash our strongest attack and strike a single point of the Formation to see if we can forcibly break it!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Then let's give it a try!"

So the five of them came before the Formation together, unleashing their strongest attacks, and striking the light barrier.

Ripples appeared on the light barrier, but it ultimately did not break.

Ghost Ink was somewhat surprised.

Although Lu Xingchen's Realm was only Seven-Star Martial Master, his Void-Shattering Slash just now had power comparable to an ordinary Nine-Star Martial Master.

As expected of the Saint of the Lingxiao Sect!

Lu Xingchen sighed lightly.

"It seems it still won't work. In that case, let's part ways here. I need to lead my Disciples to find other Opportunities."

After speaking, Lu Xingchen turned and walked deeper into the Secret Realm.

Lin Jing and Ning Feng also followed.

Seeing the people from Lingxiao Sect leave, Ghost Ink and Gui Yaoer also walked away dejectedly.

Lin Jing said as she walked, "Lu Xingchen, are we really just leaving like this? I'm not reconciled!"

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, "I'm not reconciled either. So, in fifteen minutes, let's go back."

Lin Jing was somewhat puzzled, "Why do something that wastes time?"

"Because that Ghost Ink from the Nine Ghosts Sect is a One-Star Grand Martial Master. Although I'm not afraid, I don't want to easily fight him."

Hearing this, Lin Jing was greatly astonished.

"One-Star Grand Martial Master? Are the Disciples of the Nine Ghosts Sect this talented in this generation?"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "It's not just the Nine Ghosts Sect. Last time I met the Young Sect Master of the Blood Robe Sect, his combat power was also close to a Great Martial Master Realm Expert. I think this is not an isolated case."

"I'm afraid the strength of our opponents in this Chuyuan Secret Realm expedition far exceeds our imagination."

Lin Jing gasped.

"This is troublesome."

"Lu Xingchen, when you were a Six-Star Martial Master, you could use a secret method to raise your Realm to Peak Martial Master. Now that you are a Seven-Star Martial Master, can you raise it to the Grand Martial Master Realm?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Yes!"

Hearing this, Ning Feng, who was beside them, was extremely shocked, his mouth agape.

Lu Xingchen, at such a young age, already possessed combat power comparable to the Grand Martial Master Realm. If he were allowed to grow, what would happen?

His potential was even greater than that of Senior Brother Lin Xu!

Lin Jing also let out a sigh of relief.

"That's good. With your Grand Martial Master level combat power to escort us, everyone can relax a lot. I've been at the Ten-Star Martial Master Realm for half a year, and I should be able to Breakthrough soon."

"That would be absolutely wonderful!"

Lin Jing raised another question.

"With the help of those two Disciples from the Nine Ghosts Sect, we couldn't break the Formation. Now that they're gone, is there any point in us going back?"

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, "Just trust me."

Lin Jing nodded slightly, not asking any more questions.

After these past few days of getting along, she had been convinced by Lu Xingchen's strength and wisdom, and chose to trust him.

Fifteen minutes later, the three returned the way they came, arriving in front of the medicinal garden.

Lu Xingchen clasped his hands together, and hundreds of Spiritual Seals flew out from his palms, merging into the light barrier of the protective Formation.

The moment they saw the Spiritual Seals, the two were once again shocked.

Ning Feng: "Damn, Lu Xingchen actually knows Formations too!"

Lin Jing: "His Cultivation talent is not inferior to my brother Lin Xu!"

The Spiritual Seals merged into the protective Formation, found the weak points of the Formation, and then destroyed them.

Fifteen minutes later, the light barrier covering the medicinal garden gradually became illusory, until it completely dispersed.

As soon as the light barrier dispersed, Xiao You said to Lu Xingchen from within the mount space, "Lu Xingchen, I sense the aura of dragon gall grass in this medicinal garden. If you can, please pick the dragon gall grass for me; it can help me Breakthrough to Third Tier!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.

A Third Tier Demonic Beasts was equivalent to a Great Martial Master Realm Expert.

If Xiao You could Breakthrough to Third Tier, his combat power would greatly increase.

No matter the cost, he had to obtain this dragon gall grass.

After the light barrier disappeared, Lu Xingchen said to the two, "Everyone, find the Spiritual Plants you need. Let's race to see who's faster. Don't leave anything you can take!"

"Alright!" Ning Feng excitedly replied.

With his strength, under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible for him to enter the medicinal garden.

In this situation, it was entirely thanks to Lu Xingchen's good fortune.

Lin Jing also nodded slightly and said, "No problem!"

The three entered the medicinal garden, where there were many Spirit Medicine.

Although Lu Xingchen had become a Second-Grade Alchemist under Lin Qingzhu's guidance, he knew far fewer Spirit Medicine than he didn't.

This was enough to prove that these Spirit Medicine were all rare treasures.

But Lu Xingchen was not too greedy; instead, he walked straight towards the depths of the medicinal garden.

As things stood, getting the dragon gall grass as soon as possible to help Xiao You Breakthrough was the most important thing.

Under Xiao You's guidance, Lu Xingchen got closer and closer to the dragon gall grass.

Finally, in the center of a pond, Lu Xingchen saw the dragon gall grass emitting a fiery red glow.

He left a shadow sword scabbard on the shore, then used Azure Cloud Wings, growing a pair of Qi wings on his back, and flew towards the dragon gall grass.
