Outside the Azure Cloud Sect, after severely injuring the Jade-Eyed Beast, the group of cultivators finally rushed into the spirit medicine herb planting field.
No one has been inside this spirit medicine plantation for who knows how many years. Just imagine how many spirit medicine there must be, and they must be extremely spirit medicine at that.
But when all of them rushed inside, they were immediately stunned.
There were indeed spirit medicine inside, but upon closer inspection, they found that there weren't many of spirit medicine; the sparse distribution of spirit medicine left everyone greatly disappointed.
"What's going on? Why is there so little of these spirit medicine spirit medicine? Judging from their age, they're clearly thousands of years old. Why?"
One of the cultivators looked closely and appeared somewhat lost and dejected.
"No, someone's been here. This soil is fresh! Someone's been here!"
One of the cultivators took a closer look and immediately noticed something amiss.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators scanned the ground with their divine senses and felt their chests heave as they sensed the numerous signs of digging.
They'd fought tooth and nail for so long, only to find someone had beaten them to it—how could they possibly tolerate that?
"Who did it! Who did it?!"
"It must be the eldest princess of Great Liang! They were the first to come in, and they've been waiting here for a long time after we entered, but we haven't seen anyone else come in. Who else could it be but them?"
Immediately, some cultivators analyzed the situation and identified Su Mu and his two companions as suspects.
"That's right, the fact that these three show absolutely no interest in this place is enough to explain everything! There's no reason they wouldn't be tempted by a place like spirit medicine cultivation area!"
"Let's go find them! Although they have two powerful cultivators, our strength here is not weak either. How can we let them get away like this?"
There are three powerful cultivators here; I refuse to believe we can't defeat them!
Upon hearing this, the three powerful cultivators exchanged glances, each seeing the other's resentment.
"I have to go! I just caught a whiff of Stone Spirit Dew here. I need a few drops of this precious dew no matter what!"
"Then let's go together. With three powerful cultivators like us, I don't believe they'll dare refuse!"
The three great cultivators discussed the matter and immediately formed League.
With the help of the other Core Formation Cultivator, I don't believe we can't capture these three!
Thinking of this, the group prepared to leave in a large group.
However, just as they stepped out of the palace gate, more than a dozen chains suddenly shot out and strung the group of cultivators together.
"Who dares to ambush us!"
The old woman carrying the basket swung the bamboo handle of the basket, stopping the chain.
The old woman was still in shock and disbelief, and seeing the miserable state of the other cultivators, she was filled with even more shock and anger.
" Fellow Daoist Qian, Fellow Daoist Zhong, save me!"
At this moment, another great cultivator was directly chained up, and even his nascent Nascent Soul was unable to break free.
The old woman looked over at the sound and saw another fellow Daoist who was already bound and was now pleading with her for help.
"I should have dealt with those three Nascent Soul first; I only managed to lock down one."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. A young man stared at the old woman and the other powerful cultivator with eyes devoid of any emotion, as if they were looking at dead people.
Upon seeing this, the old woman's expression hardened, and she tossed the flower basket in her hand into the air.
The blue flower shone directly on her face, and the next moment, it trembled and vanished from the spot.
Another middle-aged man summoned a flying boat and vanished from the spot in an instant.
Although the two had never spoken before, they were perfectly in sync at this moment and flew away.
"Hmph, think you can get away?"
The man remained expressionless, casually grabbed two chains, bit his finger, and slowly wrote several incomprehensible inscriptions on them.
The chains trembled, and dark green flames surged from them before suddenly chasing after the two powerful cultivators.
The locked-up cultivator looked terrified. He couldn't understand why, as a powerful cultivator, he was completely powerless against his opponent.
What level of cultivation is this guy at? Why is he so terrifying?
Before he could even figure out how to escape, what happened next made his heart sink to the bottom.
Two rustling sounds came from afar, followed by two chains flying back one after the other.
And hanging on these chains were none other than Fellow Daoist Zhong and Fellow Daoist Qian!
Finished
Those cultivators who had not yet perished felt a chill run through their hands and feet.
"A bumper harvest! A huge harvest!"
Su Mu looked at the spirit medicine in his hand, his face filled with overwhelming joy.
We've gained quite a lot along the way; these High Antiquity ruins are indeed full of treasures!
He had just calculated that it was roughly the same as being able to pick up dozens of Spirit Stone every few steps.
Gu Yu and the Princess were speechless, because Su Mu had only harvested one acre of wild spirit rice earlier, and they didn't know why Su Mu had taken the entire spirit rice plant.
Only Su Mu himself knew that he was making preparations.
Once he returns, he can improve the Teleportation Array Teleportation Array and send the entire plant back with him. Then, he can have people help with hybridization to produce spirit rice with an extremely high yield.
To perform hybridization, various types of rice need to be tested, and each one must be a whole plant.
We can't just produce spirit rice, bring it to Earth, cultivate it, and then start experimenting.
"Have your fortune told, and see which path we should take."
The eldest princess looked around and said something to Gu Yu.
They hadn't consulted the oracle on their way here, and while divination is useful, it can't be used indefinitely.
However, the eldest princess calculated that the group of guys should have entered the spirit medicine planting area. If they found out that they had dug up almost all the spirit medicine, they might come looking for trouble.
So she wanted Gu Yu to do a fortune telling.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu's expression turned somewhat solemn. "I can only perform three divinations a month. After this one, I can't perform any more."
The eldest princess nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
Seeing this, Gu Yu took out a tortoise shell with ancient patterns. After casting a spell, the inscriptions on the tortoise shell were immediately stained red as if by blood, and the surrounding scenery was also stained blood red.
Upon seeing this, the three of them felt their hearts pound, and a deep sense of unease enveloped them.
"How so?"
Gu Yu's face was somewhat pale. In all her years of fortune telling, even when she had divined for herself to Tribulation Transcendence, she had never seen such an ominous sign.
What exactly happened this time? Why was it so dangerous?
Su Mu's expression also turned grim. He didn't know how to interpret it, but the inscriptions were already stained red with blood, so it didn't matter whether he could understand them or not.
"Let's go, get out of here quickly!"
The princess took a deep breath. As long as she left this place and exited the High Antiquity ruins, she wouldn't have to worry anymore. The Great Liang Imperial City was nearby, and she would have help if she encountered any danger.
