388: Spiritual Medicine Space

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned, but did not say much more.

He believed that with Jiang Taishen's influence, Peng Yue would give him justice.

Sure enough, Peng Yue immediately stood up and said loudly: "Lu Dazhuang did not cheat. Long before the Alchemist Convention was prepared, he obtained the Pill Formula for the calamity breaking pill. This is his own fortune, and we, Medicine King Valley, recognize his result!"

Hearing this, the entire audience was in an uproar.

"What? He already had the Pill Formula for the calamity breaking pill? That's too much of a coincidence!"

"I object! Why does Lu Dazhuang have such good luck? This is unfair!"

"Exactly! His result should be canceled, and he should be made to retake the test!"

"The Alchemist Convention has been planned for a long time. It's probably too late to suddenly change the topic now, isn't it?"

Peng Yue cleared his throat and said loudly: "This is the unanimous decision of all the Elders of our Medicine King Valley. Lu Dazhuang has passed the first stage of the test. If anyone feels dissatisfied, they may leave now. We will absolutely not stop them!"

Hearing this, the young Alchemists on the Plaza grew louder in their discussions, but not a single person chose to leave.

After all, the Alchemist Convention was a grand event held once every ten years, and no one was willing to leave easily.

They were all insulting Lu Xingchen's family, their words filled with disdain and anger.

Listening to the filthy language of the people around them, Zuoqiu Qingluo was so angry that she stomped her feet.

"Big Strong One, how can they be like this?"

"Luck is inherently part of strength. Besides, even if you hadn't obtained the Pill Formula beforehand, you would still have passed the first stage. I have absolute confidence in you!"

Lu Xingchen patted Zuoqiu Qingluo's head and chuckled: "It's just the impotent rage of the weak. Miss Qingluo, don't worry. Once I win the title of Pill King, they will naturally shut up."

Zuoqiu Qingluo felt a little better then, and said softly: "I'll wait for the day you become the Pill King and slap them in the face!"

Lu Xingchen turned to look at Xu Qing and chuckled: "Third Senior Sister, you must have passed the stage too, right?"

Xu Qing nodded slightly: "I am an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, so passing this first stage is only natural. The real challenges are still ahead!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "As expected. We don't need to pay attention to these novices. Let's go back and rest quickly!"

"Very well!"

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, the four of them, including Lu Xingchen, arrived at the Sect Plaza again.

Peng Yue amplified his voice using Dou Qi and announced loudly: "Now I will announce the rules for the second stage. Within our Medicine King Valley, there is a Holy Land called the Spirit Herb Space. It is a special dimension constructed by our ancestors, where many precious Spirit Medicines grow."

"Your mission this time is to enter the Spirit Herb Space and harvest three Spirit Medicines for Medicine King Valley, submitting them within three days. The required Spirit Medicines are different for each person, so you must rely on your own efforts. If you still have energy left, you may also pick other Spirit Medicines to take with you; this is a benefit provided by our Medicine King Valley."

"I now announce the start of the second stage of the Alchemist Convention! If you are all ready, please enter the Teleportation Array!"

After speaking, Peng Yue waved his sleeve, and hundreds of Spirit Medicine illustrated guides and maps flew toward the 213 participants.

Lu Xingchen picked up the guide and examined it carefully, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, Senior Sister Xu Qing, I already possess the three Spirit Medicines listed in this guide. I obtained them from that Martial Saint Expert's Immortal Cave."

Xu Qing also nodded slightly: "I have two here, but I still need to find one from the Spirit Herb Space."

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother, your luck is truly incredible! You knew the Pill Formula beforehand in the first stage, and now you already possess the Spirit Medicines needed to pass the second stage. In the face of such powerful luck, your own strength has no chance to shine."

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "I really was lucky this time."

Xu Qing said softly: "So? Are you going to hand in your task now? Completing the mission without even entering the Spirit Herb Space, you will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "I don't really mind. But didn't you hear what Peng Yue just said? Those who still have energy left can take the Spirit Medicines they pick. Why would I pass up such a great opportunity to fleece them?"

Xu Qing said softly: "That's true. In that case, let's set off!"

"Alright!"

The two simultaneously spread their Dou Qi Wings and flew toward the top of the stone pillar.

People were already entering the Teleportation Array one after another.

Lu Xingchen extended his right hand toward Xu Qing and chuckled: "Senior Sister Xu Qing, I don't know if this Teleportation Array is random or fixed-point teleportation, so let's hold hands! If we go in together, we can look out for each other and find the Spirit Medicine you are missing first."

"Junior Brother, you are truly thoughtful!"

Xu Qing also extended her right hand and held Lu Xingchen's.

Immediately, the two stepped into the Teleportation Array together.

The scenery before them shifted rapidly, like an overturned palette, accompanied by waves of weightlessness.

When the surrounding scenery became clear again, the two had already arrived inside the Spirit Herb Space.

Xu Qing immediately opened the map.

According to the map, the Spirit Herb Space was enormous, containing a total of 108 mountain peaks.

The three Spirit Medicines required by the Spirit Medicine guide were marked with three red circles on the map.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "As expected of Medicine King Valley! The area occupied by this Spirit Herb Space already exceeds our entire Lingyun Sect. And this is just one of the territories they use to cultivate Spirit Medicine."

Xu Qing nodded slightly and said softly: "The scale is indeed quite large. I just wonder how many treasures are in this Spirit Herb Space, and how much we can take?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "Naturally, we should try to fill ourselves up! Third Senior Sister, let's go find the Spirit Medicine you are missing first!"

"Good!"

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

"The Spirit Medicine I'm missing is called the green lotus seed. I had never even heard of it before. Thankfully, the Spirit Medicine guide has a picture of it, and according to the map's prompt, it is still some distance away from us."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "No matter how far or difficult it is, we must go! We absolutely must reach the final round! Xiao You, come out!"

Xiao You flew out from the mount space and manifested its true form.

Lu Xingchen and Xu Qing immediately jumped onto Xiao You's back. Xiao You spread its massive Dragon Wings and flew toward the peak marked by Xu Qing.

Xiao You's speed was incredibly fast. In just an hour, they reached their destination.

Xiao You returned to the mount space, and the two walked up the mountain peak.

As soon as they stepped onto the peak, they smelled a rich medicinal fragrance.

The precious Spirit Medicines that were rarely seen in the outside world could be said to be everywhere on the peak.

But getting hold of the Spirit Medicine was not so simple.
