Chapter 128 - 128 127 Spiritual Medicine Garden

128: Chapter 127: Spiritual Medicine Garden 128: Chapter 127: Spiritual Medicine Garden Mad Lion Roar, a Dark-grade Advanced Martial Technique, uses vibrations to generate sound waves, combined with Spiritual Power to kill invisibly. Lin Xuan became more and more delighted as he read. He had a faint idea that if he could combine the sound waves with Soul Power, the lethality would probably be even greater, and the opponent would have an even harder time defending. After all, Soul Attacks were extremely rare, and martial artists who cultivated Soul Power were even scarcer. At least up to now, Lin Xuan had not seen anyone else using Soul Attacks. He could now claim to have a memory that never forgets; after quickly glancing through once, he had all the content etched in his mind. “Roar!” Lin Xuan operated according to the method, the air vibrated like ripples on water, and terrifying cracks appeared on the wall in front of him. Seeing the result, he smiled with satisfaction, then turned his attention to the Mountain Suppressing Hand. This was an Absolute Skill of the Ling Family, a Low-level Spiritual Martial Arts, with unimaginable power. However, the Ling Family Disciples’ cultivation was too weak to exhibit its full power. According to the description, at the highest realm, one could condense five giant mountains, with a power no different from real mountains, and possibly even stronger. Lin Xuan studied it seriously and realized that he could perform the First Level, which was to condense a large mountain. However, he dared not use it inside the Blood-colored Heavenly Palace for fear of being discovered; the Ling Family elders certainly wouldn’t let it go! No matter how powerful he was, he didn’t think he could contend with elder-level martial artists at this point. So, it was better to be cautious. Guided by Lord of Wine, Lin Xuan searched and eventually arrived in front of a Medicine Garden. There were obviously more martial artists here than in other places, but most were on the periphery, with very few being able to go deeper. With his Purple Spirit Eyes, Lin Xuan saw that the entire garden was defended by an Array, but due to the passage of time, the Defense Array had become dilapidated, with many gaps appearing. Even so, it was not a place where ordinary martial artists could come and go as they pleased. However, the garden contained many Spiritual Medicines, which were too tempting for martial artists. Even with the risk of losing their lives, these people wanted to take the risk. “Hidden Blue Flower!” Someone exclaimed not far away, causing everyone to look over and see a disciple with flushed face, clearly overjoyed. In front of him, there was a blue flower, extremely enchanting, almost like a sapphire. “It’s actually this kind of Spiritual Medicine, nearly extinct in Yunzhou, only found deep in the Taihang Mountain Range!” Lin Xuan was also slightly moved as orange light flickered in his eyes, then his brow furrowed. Through the Spiritual Eyes, he saw things that ordinary people couldn’t. Near the Hidden Blue Flower, there were some lethal traps, their power enough to kill Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artists. “Don’t pick it, there are traps!” Lin Xuan warned in a deep voice. Everyone looked at him in surprise, some uncertain and skeptical, but most sneered. “Who does he think he is? To discover traps just by looking?” Someone scoffed. “Ridiculous, probably just envious and trying to mislead us on purpose!” The disciple in the Medicine Garden also wore a cold smile: “Don’t bother, this flower is mine!” Lin Xuan sighed silently and stopped paying attention. The disciple, amid the envy of the others, slowly extended his hand. His palm drew closer and closer, and when it was about three feet away from the Hidden Blue Flower, the air rippled like water. A bolt of blue Thunder appeared out of nowhere, striking the disciple directly, the powerful current killing him instantly. Pfft! The charred corpse fell to the ground, still emitting wisps of black smoke. “Hiss—” Everyone sharply inhaled a breath of cool air; their backs were covered in cold sweat. It was too terrifying—one moment nothing had happened, and the next someone had died in a strange place. This eerie method of killing left everyone’s heart pounding with fear. Beyond the fear of the medicine garden, most of the awe was directed toward Lin Xuan. He was not only able to detect danger, but he was also kind enough to warn others. Such martial artists were truly rare. Many disciples blushed with embarrassment; they had been scoffing at Lin Xuan just a short while ago, never knowing that the truly ignorant ones were themselves. Many disciples began to look for Lin Xuan, but it was like he had vanished into thin air. “There he is!” Finally, someone spotted Lin Xuan’s figure. However, most people were met with disappointment. They had hoped to get some pointers from Lin Xuan, but by now he had already ventured deep into the medicine garden. It was too late for anything else. Many clenched their teeth in secret, filled with regret. Lin Xuan stood in the medicine garden, walking cautiously. He occasionally reached out to pick some spirit grass. Each time he picked, he would leave behind some roots or seeds so that the spirit grass could continue to survive. In the blink of an eye, he had already harvested five stalks of spirit grass. Gradually, Lin Xuan left the medicine patch and walked further inside, where there were some houses and figures. Among them, Lin Xuan spotted disciples like Wan Jianxing and Yuan Fei, but the direct disciples were not there. Lin Xuan’s arrival only caused those people to glance back for a moment before they turned away again. After all, despite Lin Xuan having killed quite a few Spirit Sea Realm martial artists, in their eyes, he was still not notable. However, he didn’t mind. The less attention he drew in this situation, the better it was for him to act. “If I’m not mistaken, this should be the place for refining medicine,” someone analyzed. “For some reason, elixir pills are spat out here intermittently.” “Is it possible to break through the seal and enter?” Everyone here was an elite disciple with high cultivation status. They did not want to just wait; they were trying various methods to enter. So far, however, no one had succeeded. Lin Xuan stood to one side, taking in all the details. “Is there really no way to enter?” Lin Xuan asked Lord of Wine. “Difficult! If your cultivation were a bit higher, perhaps you could. But now, it’s too much of a stretch,” replied Lord of Wine in a calm voice. Lin Xuan sighed softly, and just then, light emitted from the buildings in front. Several rainbows shot out. “The elixir pills are out!” An exclamation rang out, and the nearby martial artists instantly became alert, their eyes tightly fixated on several streaks of light in the sky. Lin Xuan activated his Purple Spirit Eyes and saw that each streak of light enveloped an elixir pill. Every pill was different—some white, some red, some as large as longans, others smaller than grapes. “Go for the one on the far left!” Lord of Wine reminded. Lin Xuan looked up with a puzzled air. The elixir pill that Lord of Wine mentioned was the smallest of them all, dull in color, as if it were a wasted pill. Some people had already leaped up, vying for the largest pills. Though Lin Xuan was puzzled, he still moved toward the dull, lackluster elixir pill. There were five pills in the sky altogether. The biggest one, crimson in color, was being fought over by everyone; several martial artists made moves for the other pills. Only Lin Xuan’s choice attracted the least number of competitors, with just three people making a move. Lin Xuan was one of them; the other two included a disciple from the Lianhua Sect and a disciple from the Chen Family of the Four Great Families. Both had the cultivation of the Spirit Sea First Layer Middle Stage, with powerful auras that enveloped everything around them. The three simultaneously made their moves, all aiming for the elixir pill in the sky.
