Dense Medicine Forest

A massive stone gate stood at the far end of the plaza. Before it, ten bodies, as straight as spears, stood unchanged for millennia. Their skin was a gleaming silver, their eyes vacant, their faces expressionless, like ancient corpses.

"Xiao Ming, look! There's a puppet over there just like yours!"

Zi Yan, having reached this point, turned around and waved to Xiao Ming and the others who were approaching from afar.

Xiao Ming examined the puppets outside the stone gate. Their bodies were entirely dazzling silver, clearly indicating that they were still at the level of Earth Demon Puppet. According to Xiao Ming's estimation, these ten Earth Demon Puppet should be at the Peak Dou Zong level.

"It seems that the real ruins are behind this stone gate, and these puppets are the guardian techniques of that Dou Sheng," Xiao Yi Xian said softly, gazing at the heavy stone gate.

"Let this old man stretch his muscles." Venerable Tian Huo stepped forward, and the ten puppets at the Dou Zong level couldn't even last a single round against him.

"Let me do it."

Xiao Ming spoke up to stop Venerable Tian Huo. The Soul Imprint of these ten Earth Demon Puppet had been almost completely erased. They could be easily captured with a simple sweep of their souls. It would be a real pity to let Old Yao destroy them.

Moreover, these ten Earth Demon Puppet also contain a Combined Attack Formation that can transform them into Heaven Demon Puppet Earth Demon Puppet. Xiao Ming was very interested in this Combined Attack Formation and wanted to test what would happen if he used this Combined Attack Formation on his more than twenty Heaven Demon Puppet.

After Xiao Ming spoke, Venerable Tian Huo stopped, but before he could speak, he heard Xiao Ming... →

"Alright."

"Huh? What's done?" Venerable Tian Huo looked puzzled.

The next moment, Xiao Ming waved his hand, and the ten Heaven Demon Puppet transformed into streaks of silver light, which Xiao Ming then collected into his possession.

"Crunch..."

Shortly after Xiao Ming put the ten puppets into his Na Ring, the tightly closed stone door suddenly creaked and opened with a crack.

As the stone gate gradually opened, a desolate and Ancient Times Aura slowly drifted out.

Let's go.

After explaining to the astonished Old Yao, Xiao Ming led the group through the opened stone door.

Passing through the stone gate, what appeared before Xiao Ming and the others was a colossal hall, so large that people standing in it appeared extremely small. Looking around, they discovered that there were many deep corridors around the hall, and they didn't know where they led.

"What should we do next?" Everyone looked at Xiao Ming.

Seeing how large the main hall was, Xiao Ming wanted to suggest splitting up.

However, considering his extremely limited knowledge of the place and the potential unknown dangers within the main hall, he abandoned the idea.

"Let's find the Medicine Garden first, then search each palace one by one. If you find anything useful, keep it for yourselves."

"Zi Yan, sense the location of the Medicine Garden. Those herbs have survived for countless millennia; I think you'll really like them."

Although Xiao Ming also has Treasure Hunting Talent, why should he search for it himself when he has someone to help him?

"Hmm!" Upon hearing about the ancient medicinal herbs, Zi Yan's big eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she nodded heavily. Then she closed her eyes and used the unique talent of the Ancient Void Dragon to sense the location of the treasure and its general type.

A moment later, Zi Yan opened her eyes and excitedly told Xiao Ming, "Xiao Ming, I found it! Come with me!"

After saying that, Zi Yan flicked her ponytail and took the lead towards a passage, with Xiao Ming and the others following Zi Yan.

The passageways of the grand hall were extremely spacious. The group flew through them like small birds, and there were occasional pavilions along the way.

Because they wanted to find the Medicine Garden first, Xiao Ming and his group did not slow down.

A moment later, Zi Yan stopped, and Xiao Ming and the others immediately turned their gazes to the front. There stood an extremely ancient stone door, covered in moss, its dark green color conveying a sense of the passage of time...

"The smell of medicinal herbs is strongest here; it must be where the herbs are stored," Zi Yan, pointing to the stone door.

Venerable Tian Huo took the initiative to step forward and investigate.

There were no mechanisms on the door.

"Open it, everyone be careful."

"Boom!"

With a deep thud, the Heavy Stone Gate covered in moss was slowly pushed open by Venerable Tian Huo, and a thick Medicinal Fragrance that had been hidden for countless years immediately surged out, invigorating everyone's spirits.

"It smells so good! There must be countless medicinal herbs inside!" Zi Yan exclaimed in delight. For her, what could be more delightful than an abundance of medicinal herbs?

The gate opened completely, the light dissipated, and a vast primeval forest composed entirely of medicinal herbs was revealed before everyone's eyes.

Even Medusa, with her aloof personality, couldn't help but show shock at the sight before her.

Wow, so many medicinal herbs!

Seeing such a magnificent sight, Zi Yan could hardly contain herself. With a cheer, she ran towards the medicinal herb forest behind the gate.

Even though Xiao Ming was somewhat prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked by what he saw. After all, this was a forest composed of ancient medicinal herbs.

If Pill Tower knew that there was such a forest in the Ancient Ruins, he certainly wouldn't have remained indifferent as he was in the original Original Work.

And now, this forest is open to them to pick whatever they want!

"Let's go, follow Zi Yan!" Xiao Ming called out, then stepped forward and followed Zi Yan, heading towards the back of the gate.

Upon entering this medicinal herb forest, Zi Yan was like a monkey entering a cornfield; in no time, she was carrying a pile of medicinal herbs in her arms and had a spiritual fruit munching on her lips.

His eyes darted around, constantly searching for and picking up the higher-grade medicinal herbs among the plants. He walked and picked up herbs as he went, mostly high-grade ones that were rarely seen in normal times.

If it fell into Xiao Ming's hands, it would be more than enough to refine Grade Seven Medicinal Pill. However, since Zi Yan liked it, Xiao Ming let her have it.

Two hours later, Xiao Ming glanced back and found that they didn't seem to have moved very far. Then he looked up at the endless Dense Medicine Forest ahead and couldn't help but swallow.

Oh no, if it's just the few of them in this medicinal forest, they'll probably spend a lot of time just digging for herbs!

"I'll take Zi Yan into the forest to find higher-grade medicinal herbs. You all stay here. When picking the lower-grade herbs, you can be a little rougher."

"Of course, if you also want to go into the forest to pick the fruit, that's fine too, but you have to work together."

The medicinal herbs in this forest are actually of high quality, but picking them one by one using specialized methods would be too time-consuming. A more rough approach is more efficient.

Of course, using unprofessional methods may affect the efficacy of the medicine, and the grafts may not be able to be transplanted again.

However, there are too many medicinal herbs here, so if they can't be transplanted, then so be it. Xiao Ming's main goal is actually to find the rarer and more precious medicinal herbs that are scarce in the outside world.
