The five people rushed through the col, and the full view of Herb Garden came into view.
Array's light curtain is still standing, but only the south and east sides are still lit, and the other directions are all broken. The cyan barrier is incomplete, and the aura at the edge of the breach is flickering, like a lamp that is about to go out.
Several sections of the stone fence collapsed.
The rare medicinal garden on the inside of the fence was turned over beyond recognition.
Large areas of soil were lifted up, and medicinal plants were scattered on the ground. Some were uprooted and thrown aside, while others were stepped into the mud with only half of their stems exposed. The soil of several medicinal gardens had deep footprints and scorch marks from Law Technique bombardment.
Manager Wang rushed to the fence and stood still, looking over the broken medicine garden.
His face suddenly turned pale.
The main plant of Foundation Establishment Dan disappeared with its roots and soil.
There was only a deep pit in the center of the medicine garden, and at the bottom of the pit there were still a few drops of dark sap that oozed out after the roots were torn off.
The one next to it also had only an empty pit.
Nearly half of the dozen or so First-Tier Superior-Grade rare medicinal herbs in the fence were missing. The remaining ones were not removed, but most of them were affected by Law Technique. The leaves were scorched or the stems were broken, and their appearance was completely ruined.
Manager Wang's fingers clenched on the handle of Law Artifact, and their fingers kept trembling.
Old Zhao and the young exploring monk stood nearby, their faces livid and their lips stretched into a straight line.
The two of them didn't speak, but the muscles in their jaws were tense.
Cultivator Zhou walked around Herb Garden and walked back quickly.
"The surrounding medicinal gardens were also plowed. The low-level Spirit Herb was ruined a lot, and several medicinal gardens were completely burned."
Manager Wang did not answer the call and searched Herb Garden.
"Where is Feng the Second."
No one answered.
The door of the stone house was open, and it was empty inside. Cultivator Feng's bedding was still on the bed, Law Artifact was not there, and the storage bag was not there either.
People are missing.
"Lian Alchemist is not here either." Cultivator Zhou poked his head half out of the stone house on the slope. "His Medicine Cauldron is still there, but some of his things have been moved."
Manager Wang glanced around and spoke in a deep voice.
"First rescue the medicinal materials that can be saved, and save as many as you can."
Li Yuan and a few others dispersed and began to inspect the remaining Spirit Herb along the path between the medicine gardens.
Not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard from the direction of the col.
A man ran over from the other side of the hillside.
He was on the short side and on the fat side, and he bumped when he ran. He was holding a bulging storage bag in his hand and was out of breath.
Refining Alchemist.
When he rushed into Herb Garden from the col, he almost tripped over a collapsed stone railing. He staggered for two steps before standing still, putting his hands on his knees and gasping for air.
His face was covered with dust, his apron was stained with grass juice and mud, and there was a tear in the cuff of his left hand.
Manager Wang walked over in three steps and two steps.
"What's going on?"
Lian Alchemist straightened up and took several breaths to regain his breath. His voice was thick and hoarse.
"Someone is coming."
He swallowed.
"Six."
He held out his palm and then raised a finger.
"Two of them, Qi Refining Late Stage."
Manager Wang's brows furrowed sharply.
"When did you come?"
"After you left for about an hour." Lian Alchemist removed his hands from his knees, his hands were still trembling. "Array There was a ring first, and Feng the Second ran out to see, and came back and said Array that there were monks outside testing. The two of us didn't dare to send out signal smoke, for fear of attracting attention, so we stayed guard in the stone house."
He took a breath.
"Then Array broke into pieces."
"It wasn't broken bit by bit, it was shattered directly from the entire north side. A Law Technique hit it, and half of the light curtain was gone instantly. The power of that Law Technique is not what Mid Qi Refinement can hit."
He raised his hand and pointed towards the broken remnants of the array Dharma Light to the north.
"After the people rushed in, I wanted to send off the signal smoke, and Feng the Second pulled me and ran up the slope. The six people were divided into two groups, four of them went to the medicine garden to search for medicinal materials, and two of them chased us directly."
Manager Wang asked in a deep voice.
"Where is Feng the Second."
Lian Alchemist's face changed.
"When he saw the two catching up, he decided to run away separately. I ran towards the east hillside and saw several of them collecting medicinal materials and moving out. I didn't see Feng the Second anymore after that."
He lowered his voice a little.
"I don't know if he ran away or was caught up."
The open space was quiet for a while.
Manager Wang did not ask any further questions about Cultivator Feng, and turned to look in the direction of the medicine garden.
"What did you see them take before you ran away?"
"Everything inside the fence has been turned over." Lian Alchemist put the storage bag he was holding on the ground. "They mainly focused on the high-grade plants. I saw someone pulling out the big medicine plant that was about to mature. I guess they took the others as well."
He patted the storage bag in his arms.
Cola Novels, your portable library has more than ten thousand volumes.
"Before I ran away, I grabbed a few Spirit Herb plants and stuffed them in. That's all."
Manager Wang nodded without comment.
"Check the losses first."
Several people spread out and counted them one by one along the medicine garden.
The rare medicinal materials in the fence suffered the most serious losses.
Two nearly mature Foundation Establishment medicinal plants were all uprooted. Among the remaining ten or so First-Tier Superior-Grade medicinal plants, five were uprooted, three were affected by Law Technique and were seriously damaged in appearance, and only two plants were not touched due to their remote location.
Li Yuan walked to the medicine garden and took a look. There were still traces of the roots being torn off in the mud pit.
The damage to the surrounding medicinal gardens was also considerable.
About 30% of the low-level Spirit Herbs were uprooted or destroyed. Several medicinal gardens were completely burned, leaving nothing on the black charred soil. Although there were several medicinal gardens that were not directly destroyed, the spiritual shock wave when the Arrays collapsed loosened the roots of the Spirit Herbs. These Spirit Herbs were still alive for a short time, but if not dealt with as soon as possible, they would die within a few days.
Li Yuan and Cultivator Zhou re-cultivated the damaged Spirit Herb and poured some spiritual power into it to stabilize the roots. Root Cultivation Art just Entry Level, the effect is limited, but at least it can slow down the withering speed.
Lian Alchemist took out the Spirit Herb he had snatched from the storage bag and placed them on the open ground.
There are more than a dozen low-grade Spirit Herb plants, with mixed varieties and uneven appearance. Some stems are broken in half, and some have most of their leaves fallen off.
Better than nothing.
After the counting was completed, everyone returned to the open space down the slope.
Manager Wang stood in the middle of the open space, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally landed on the dilapidated scene of Herb Garden.
"I'll notify Wang Family."
He pinned Law Artifact around his waist.
"You guys stay here and guard. Array still has two pieces left to use, so we can make do with it for a while. It's unlikely that they will come back right away after they've just finished robbing them, but we can't rule it out."
He glanced at Old Zhao.
"Take some people and keep an eye on the outside. Don't let anyone get in again."
Old Zhao nodded.
Manager Wang said nothing more, turned around and walked towards the col. After taking a few steps, spiritual energy poured into his feet, his body accelerated, and he quickly disappeared into the night.
There were five people left in the open space.
Old Zhao clenched the Law Artifact in his hand and walked towards the broken array Dharma Light in the north, arranging the guards. The young scouting monk and Cultivator Zhou followed and spread out, staring at several directions of Herb Garden.
Lian Alchemist squatted beside the stove, his hands were still shaking slightly, and he didn't move for a long time.
Li Yuan stood on the spot and glanced around.
Everything that needed to be done was done. The medicines that could save the life were saved. Someone was on duty to make arrangements. Manager Wang went to notify Wang Family. The next step was to wait.
He did not return to the stone house Talisman Making.
The current situation is not suitable for Talisman Making. Array. There may be a second wave of attacks at any time. It is not a good choice to focus on drawing symbols.
Li Yuan returned to the stone house and sat down, taking out Green Spirit Talisman Brush from the storage bag.
The green penholder is held in the palm of the hand, and Affix of Skillful Stroke is still hanging on Equipment Slot.
Suddenly, I removed the Green Spirit Talisman Brush.
[Equipment removed: Green Spirit Talisman Brush]
[Skillful Stroke(White)Affix is temporarily invalid]
[Permanent progress retention]
[Note: After the same type of equipment is removed, it will take twelve hours before it can be re-equipped]
Green Spirit Talisman Brush reappeared in the palm of the hand, the white light receded, and the real thing returned. Li Yuan put it into the storage bag.
Then he dug out the previously made Qi Gathering Talisman from the depths of the storage bag.
Equipment.
[Equipment successful]
[Get Affix: Spirit Essence Expansion (white)]
[Affix Effect: Increase the upper limit of spiritual power by 10%]
[Permanent conditions: practice for one hundred weeks within thirty-six hours (0/100)]
Qi Gathering Talisman turned into a pale white light and disappeared into the body.
The capacity of the Dantian has slightly expanded. It's not that there is more spiritual power, but the upper limit of what it can hold is 10% higher. The Dantian that was originally nearly full now has an extra layer of space, and the spiritual power is no longer so crowded when it settles in it.
Thirty-six hours, one hundred weeks.
Count from now on.
There is no need for Talisman Making during this time. There are people on duty outside. All I need to do is sit in the house and practice.
Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and started running Spirit Guiding Art.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi in Herb Garden is extremely high. Even if Array is mostly broken, the spiritual vein itself is still there, and the Spiritual Qi that seeped up from the ground is still abundant. Spiritual Qi pours into the body, Pure Spirit Power removes impurities, and the spiritual power condenses and sinks into the Dantian.
After finishing a week, switch to Hundred Meridians Origin Return Art and walk again.
The two gates Cultivation Method operate alternately, spiritual power flows through the meridians over and over again, and the cultivation level is pushed forward bit by bit.
The night outside the window is very dark.
The broken array Dharma Light flickered faintly in the distance, as if it would go out at any time.
Herb Garden was so quiet that only the rustle of the night wind blew through Spirit Herb, and the occasional chirping of insects from the distant mountains and forests.
Li Yuan Close your eyes, breathe evenly, and your spiritual power is circulating in your body over and over again.
One Sunday, two Sundays, three Sundays.
