The inner courtyard is small in size and has a length and width of more than 20 feet. The most precious herbs are picked from inside. The Seven-Star Grass is the most valuable treasure here.
Lin Xuan sighed for a moment, he didn’t enter immediately, but released his Spiritual Sense and scanned the surrounding area.
According to Ouyang Qin, there should be more than one Core Formation Stage Expert. Furthermore, the Restriction in the center of the Medicine Garden is extremely powerful, and not so easy to break, so Lin Xuan is cautious.
At first, nothing was found, but after a while, from the Medicine Garden in front, roars, and the sound of a Spirit Beast was heard, mixed with huge Spiritual Qi collisions.
Lin Xuan raised his brow and his face showed a thoughtful expression.
After gritting his teeth, Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with determination, and with a bright light, he flew toward the inner court. If he didn’t enter the tiger’s den, he would stay as a rabbit. If he wants the Spiritual Herb, some dangers are worth taking.
The situation inside was different from what Lin Xuan had imagined.
The Restriction has been broken, and the ground is littered with pieces of equipment that have been turned into waste.
However, apart from a Spirit Beast crouching on the ground, there was only one body.
The appearance of the dead man was quite similar to that of Liu Hai. His eyes were wide open and his face was full of unwillingness. In his hand, he held a broken weapon. Although only a part of it is left, it’s exuding rich Spiritual Qi.
“Magic Artifact fragment?”
A term popped up Lin Xuan’s mind, but what frightened him, even more, was the Spirit Beast in front of him.
It’s neither a lion nor a tiger, it’s like a mixture of the two, with a thorny tail and the size of a wild elephant.
Liger Spirit Beast!
Lin Xuan’s pupil shrunk, no wonder it can kill a Core Formation Stage Expert, this is a third-level Top Grade Spirit Beast.
The cultivators of Blue Cloud Mountain are certainly not idiots, although they were short of manpower due to the Nascent Soul Event. But with the importance of the Medicine Garden, they would certainly not relax their vigilance.
Especially in the inner courtyard, the medicinal herbs here are extremely precious. Although Taibai Sword Immortal left, they sent the strongest guardian Spirit Beast here.
The strength of a third-level Top Grade Spirit Beast is equivalent to a cultivator in the Core Formation Stage Great Perfection. It’s natural for Liu Tong, who was only in the Core Formation Initial Stage to meet his end here.
Looking at the Spirit Beast in front of him. Lin Xuan felt a chill all over, and with his own strength, he would never be able to stop it.
However, the Liger Spirit Beast raised its head and glanced at him, then lay down lazily.
Could it be because of his disguise, Lin Xuan was overjoyed, tentatively taking a step forward while guessing, but before his feet landed, the Liger Spirit Beast growled. Scared, Lin Xuan quickly retreated.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was still too optimistic. Unlike cultivators, Spirit Beasts distinguished their enemies and friends through scent, knowing that he still had extravagant hopes. This is really…
However, Lin Xuan did not give up. He tried it a few times and found that as long as he was not within five steps of the Spirit Grass, the Liger Spirit Beast would not care. Otherwise, it will attack.
Of course, Lin Xuan didn’t dare to go beyond the pool. The third-level Spirit Beast was unstoppable.
But if this stalemate continues, how would he steal the Seven-Star Grass?
He doesn’t have much time. The abnormal changes in the Medicine Garden can’t be kept for long. If the other Experts of Blue Cloud Mountain came, he will not be able to go anywhere.
But leaving empty-handed like this, Lin Xuan was really not willing.
After some hesitation, a strange light flashed across Lin Xuan’s eyes. He could only bet!
He reached into his arms, took a large amount of Spirit Stones out of his storage ring, and threw them into the distance.
He was not aiming at nothing, because as far as Lin Xuan knew, most Spirit Beasts liked to swallow Spirit Stones. And Lin Xuan’s aim was to divert the immediate trouble.
A yellow light flashed, and the Liger Spirit Beast really left the place. Chasing the Spirit Stones.
Lin Xuan was overjoyed. Naturally, he would not let go of this opportunity, and he raised his speed to the extreme. Reaching out to a small herb with seven leaves.
However, before his hand touched the Seven-Star Grass, he heard a roar the shook the sky and earth, and then Lin Xuan felt like he was being pushed hard by some huge force, and he couldn’t help but fly backward.
Looking up, Lin Xuan was so scared as he saw the Liger Spirit Beast leaping toward him with blood-red eyes.
Lin Xuan’s expression became extremely ugly. Originally, he wanted to use the Spirit Stone to bait the Spirit Beast away. Then pick the Seven-Star Grass and escape quickly. He didn’t expect the other party to react so quickly.
It seems that I still underestimated the Third-level Spirit Beast.
He felt extreme danger!
Although he knew that he was not the other party’s opponent, Lin Xuan was still reluctant to sit still, and reached out to his Storage Bag, as if to take out a Spirit Tool.
However, he made a mistake during the process. Originally Lin Xuan wanted to take out the Jade Snow Bracelet, but in a panic, he grabbed a jade pendant.
It was one of the strange treasures obtained from the Leaping Stream Mountain. However, Lin Xuan studied it several times and still knew nothing about its use.
Although this jade certainly hides an earth-shattering secret, it’s not a Magic Artifact or Spirit Tool. Taking it out by mistake at this time will undoubtedly plunge Lin Xuan to his death.
But a strange thing happened…
The jade pendant gave off a soft light, and after the ferocious Linger Spirit Beast came into contact with this light, it restrained its murderous aura, and its expression became gentle.
Lin Xuan was in a daze.
He looked at the jade pendant in his hand and saw that the light was emitting from the strange pattern carved on it.
Lin Xuan was naturally surprised and delighted, but now is not the time to study this magical jade, he glanced at Spirit Beast and confirmed that the other party was not hostile at all, Lin Xuan tentatively stretched out his hand toward the Seven-Star Grass. While Watching out for the movement of the Spirit Beast.
Still no response!
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, plucked the Seven-Star Grass, put it into his storage bag, and then released a white light from his hand. The body of the Core Formation Stage cultivator disappeared, he then quickly left the inner court.
He doesn’t know if Ouyang Qin won against Liu Haiyi or lost. Lin Xuan naturally won’t go back in the same way he came but left the Medicine Garden from another path.
Lin Xuan did not return to the Cloud Sea.
Otherwise, once the Medicine Garden incident was revealed, it would be difficult to leave Blue Cloud Mountain.
Fortunately, the main drama of the Nascent Soul Conference has ended. And the foreign cultivators can leave as long as they’re willing.
Lin Xuan scattered the Demonic Disguising Technique, restored his original face, and then smoothly left Blue Cloud Mountain.
Later in the evening, Lin Xuan had already traveled half of the distance. Seeing that it was getting late, he stopped at a barren hill.
After finding a hidden cave, Lin Xuan used it as a temporary shelter. After placing several warning restrictions around him, Lin Xuan pondered for a while and released Lin Yue’er.
“Young Master!”
Compared with before, Little Yue’er’s cultivation base has improved a bit. The Ghost Cultivation Method that Lin Xuan gave her has already been nearly completed. Soon, a Higher-level Cultivation Method will be needed.
Inspecting Lin’s progress, Lin Xuan’s face showed a satisfied smile. Since she had already recognized him as her master, the higher Lin Yue’er’s skill is, the more helpful she would be.
“Yue’er, help me keep watch.”
“Yes, young master!”
Seeing the small Yin Ghost flying out of the cave, Lin Xuan took out a few items.
The first is the Seven-Star Grass. From the outside, it is not eye-catching, but Lin Xuan was extremely solemn. In order to get this thing, he had exhausted his mind and body, so he carefully put it back.
Then, Lin Xuan took a dark object and placed it in front of his eyes. This is the Magic Artifact fragment that he got from the dead Core Formation Stage Expert.
Speaking of this, Lin Xuan was still a bit depressed. There was no other reason, there was a Core Formation Stage laying dead in front of him, but he did not find a storage bag on him. The only gain was this Magic Artifact Fragment.
Although this thing was extraordinary, with powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations, but Lin Xuan was still unwilling.
Shaking his head, a person shouldn’t be too greedy, then Lin Xuan put it into his storage bag.
Finally, he took the jade pendant out.
This material was something that Lin Xuan obtained from Leaping Stream Mountain, but this amazing treasure was something the Spirit Flame Sect cultivators worked so hard to obtain and even became the target of the public.
For a long time, Lin Xuan did not find its function. It was thrown into the corner of the storage bag and was about to be forgotten.
He took one wrong turn today, but it was a blessing in disguise. If not for this thing, let alone stealing the Seven-Star Grass, he’s afraid that he would have ended up in the Spirit Beast’s mouth.
But why did it stop the Spirit Beast from attacking him?
Lin Xuan placed the jade pendant into his hands and inspected it meticulously.
Half an hour passed.
But still nothing.
Lin Xuan sighed and was about to take it back, but suddenly, he stopped.
Then he placed the jade pendant in front of his eyes and carefully looked at it with his Spiritual Sense. After a little thought, Lin Xuan took out a Talisman from his Storage Bag.
The Soaring Heaven Bird Beast Talisman!
Lin Xuan used it once, so some of its energy is consumed.
Lin Xuan held the jade pendant in one hand and the Beast Talisman in the other, took a deep breath, and then Spiritual Qi flowed through his body, transporting into the jade pendant.
Suddenly, a bright light radiated from above…
