Medicine Saint's Legacy Appears

The token was crafted from an unknown material. It felt smooth to the touch and was engraved with patterns of various herbs. On the back, a single ancient Chinese character for "Saint" was inscribed. Residual Saint Realm soul power lingered on it, resonating with the essence of the surrounding flora.

"Medicine Saint Token..." Xuanyuan Che rubbed the token. With a slight sensing, a piece of information flowed into his mind. "Holders of this token can sense the location of the Medicine Saint's legacy residence, and at specific times, open its outer gates..."

He recalled the three Tai Xu Realm elders' words about "guarding for a thousand years." It seemed this token was what they truly coveted. However, due to the area's restrictions, they couldn't retrieve it, so they could only guard the Three Talents Soul Returning Root, hoping its medicinal power would forcibly break the restrictions once it matured. Unfortunately, their thousand-year wait ultimately benefited someone else.

"Buzz—"

Just then, the Three Talents Soul Returning Root imprint on his wrist vibrated gently, transmitting a guiding intention. The direction pointed deeper into the Medicine Valley, an area completely enveloped in dense, colorful mist that obscured vision.

"It seems the entrance to the legacy residence is inside," Xuanyuan Che understood and put away the Medicine Saint Token. The restrictions here were stronger and more tightly integrated with the earth's ley lines. While brute force could break them, it would undoubtedly cause a massive commotion, attracting the attention of the entire Battlefield and leading to unnecessary trouble.

He turned, preparing to find Yun Mengyao and the other two, when he saw three streaks of light rapidly approaching.

"Little Junior Brother, are you alright?" Yun Mengyao landed first. Her cool gaze quickly swept over the scene. Seeing the three unconscious elders on the ground and the faint divine medicine imprint on Xuanyuan Che's wrist, she understood most of what had happened.

"I'm fine. Just beat up three blind old guys and got a rather pleasing little grass," Xuanyuan Che swayed his wrist.

Lei Mingjian's eyes widened. He sniffed and exclaimed, "Amazing! This medicinal aroma... just one breath makes my physical body feel purified! Awesome, Little Junior Brother!" He had intended to say "perverted," but managed to hold back.

Although Mu Qingxue remained silent, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. A divine medicine recognizing a master was an immense fortune. For an ordinary cultivator, obtaining one would be the foundation for becoming a Saint or an Ancestor.

Xuanyuan Che smiled, took out the Medicine Saint Token, and handed it to Yun Mengyao. "Second Senior Sister, take a look at this."

Yun Mengyao took the token, her fingertips glowing white as she carefully examined it. A solemn expression appeared on her usually cool face. "The Medicine Saint Token... it's this item. Ancient records state that the Medicine Saint was an exceptionally talented senior from the late ancient era. His alchemy skills were unparalleled, and he was also a master of formations. His whereabouts were elusive. I didn't expect his legacy residence to be within the Myriad Races Battlefield."

She looked up at the area where the colorful mist was densest. "If this token is accurate, the entrance to the legacy residence is there. However, the outer restrictions are already top-tier Saint grade, merged with the earth's spiritual eyes. Disturbing one part affects the whole. It will be difficult."

"Does Senior Sister have a way?" Xuanyuan Che asked. He knew Yun Mengyao's Heavenly Heart Dao Body had keen senses and profound attainments in formations.

Yun Mengyao pondered for a moment. "Forcibly breaking the formation is not advisable. We need to wait for the right moment. Based on the token's information and the flow of the earth's qi here, the next time the restrictions will be weakest should be... tomorrow at noon, when the sunlight directly shines on the 'Hundred Herbs Paying Homage' phenomenon within the valley. Only then, by using a specific technique to activate the Medicine Saint Token, might we silently open a temporary portal."

"Tomorrow at noon..." Xuanyuan Che nodded. "Alright, during this time, let's sweep through this Medicine Valley first. Third Senior Brother, Sister Mu, you two go collect the mature Spiritual Medicine. Don't touch those with insufficient years; leave them for future generations. Second Senior Sister, you'll accompany me to the core area to familiarize ourselves with the formation nodes in advance."

"Okay!" Lei Mingjian's fists clenched. His eyes gleamed as he looked at the valley filled with rare Spiritual Medicine.

Mu Qingxue nodded slightly, her Wuchen Sword Intent subtly flowing as she had already pinpointed several locations where the Spiritual Grass had the most vibrant sword energy.

The four immediately set to work.

Xuanyuan Che and Yun Mengyao walked side by side towards the core of the Medicine Valley. The closer they got, the more the rich medicinal aroma almost became tangible. Inhaling it was comparable to refining several High-grade Spirit Stones.

"Che'er, your Chaos Body seems to have an extremely strong affinity and control over the essence of the plants and trees here," Yun Mengyao suddenly said, her beautiful eyes looking at Xuanyuan Che. She noticed that the surrounding Spiritual Medicine, and even some rather ferocious guardian medicine beasts, became exceptionally docile as Xuanyuan Che passed by, some even swaying slightly as if showing submission.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Che slightly released a trace of his Chaos Qi. Instantly, all the spiritual plants within a hundred-zhang radius centered on him seemed to receive a royal summons. Their leaves rustled, and specks of verdant essence of plants and trees overflowed on their own, converging towards him like a pilgrimage, entering his body and nourishing his Physical Body and soul.

"It seems to have a little effect," Xuanyuan Che said with a smile, feeling the imperceptible growth within him. The Innate Chaos Dao Body, the origin of all Dao, naturally contained the Great Dao of Wood. Controlling all herbs was just a basic operation.

Yun Mengyao gave him a deep look, inwardly sighing at how despairingly heaven-defying her little junior brother's physique was. She said no more, concentrating her mind. Her Heavenly Heart Dao Body operated to its extreme, her eyes covered with a layer of hazy white light as she meticulously analyzed the incredibly complex Saint-grade composite formation ahead.

Xuanyuan Che was also happy to have some leisure, absorbing the continuous essence of plants and trees while protecting Yun Mengyao.

Time quietly slipped away.

Outside the Medicine Valley, more and more cultivators gathered. The news of Xuanyuan Che and the other three easily entering had already spread, attracting more people to try their luck. However, no matter how they tried, even joining forces with several named peak Tai Xu Realm experts to attack, they couldn't shake the colorful restrictions in the slightest.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as the four inside leisurely collected Spiritual Medicine, their eyes turning red with envy.

"Damn it! The people from Eastern Xuan Academy are too overbearing! Just hogging the entrance like this!"

"If you have the ability, go in yourself! They got in through their own skills!"

"Hmph! When they come out... with so much Spiritual Medicine, how can they possibly swallow it all alone!" someone said sinisterly, resonating with some of the others.

Inside the valley, Lei Mingjian and Mu Qingxue had reaped a rich harvest. Lei Mingjian specifically sought out potent Spiritual Medicine for tempering the physical body, filling several extra-large jade boxes. Mu Qingxue collected some rare flowers and grasses containing Sword Intent or capable of nurturing sword souls.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

The next day at noon, sunlight pierced the slightly scarlet sky of the Battlefield and accurately shone upon a peculiar rock in the center of the Medicine Valley. The rock resembled a medicine cauldron, with natural patterns of a hundred herbs on its surface. Under the sunlight, all the patterns suddenly came alive, absorbing and emitting colorful mist. It was the "Hundred Herbs Paying Homage" phenomenon!

"Now!" Yun Mengyao cried out sharply. The Medicine Saint Token, prepared long ago, flew out of her hand and hovered above the cauldron-like rock.

Her hands moved like dancing butterflies, weaving intricate Runes that integrated into the Medicine Saint Token.

Xuanyuan Che acted simultaneously, his Spiritual Energy erupting, stabilizing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that had become slightly violent due to the formation's fluctuations.

Buzz—!

The Medicine Saint Token trembled, scattering a soft radiance that resonated with the medicine cauldron below. The patterns of a hundred herbs on the rock lit up one by one, finally converging into a beam of light that shot towards the colorful restriction above.

The restrictive light screen rippled like the surface of water, slowly splitting open a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through. A medicinal aroma and Spiritual Energy far more pure and ancient than the outside world emanated from within.

"Go!" Xuanyuan Che beckoned. The four transformed into streaks of light and instantly shot into the gap.

Less than three breaths after they entered, the gap rapidly closed, returning to its original state.

The people outside only saw a flash of light, and the four disappeared. An uproar immediately ensued!

"They went in! They actually went in!"

"What was that? The Medicine Saint Token? They actually have the key!"

"Quick! Quickly inform Senior Brother and Senior Sister! The Medicine Saint's legacy residence has appeared!"

The news spread like wings, rapidly throughout the entire Myriad Races Battlefield, causing even greater commotion. The value of the Medicine Saint's legacy residence far surpassed ordinary secret realms, enough to drive all Prodigies mad!

For a time, countless powerful auras rose from various directions of the Battlefield, rushing towards the Seven-Colored Medicine Valley at full speed!
