Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Medicine Garden Emerges, All Sides Converge
There.
A brilliant spirit light expanded and revealed itself.
In the haze, there seemed to be a hidden garden with various rare spirit grasses and flowers appearing intermittently.
Even separated by dozens of miles, Ji Haoyuan and his companions seemed to catch a faint aroma coming from it.
"What is that?"
Ji Haoyuan and his companions showed expressions of surprise.
Could it be that a sealed garden has appeared?
The group exchanged glances.
They all saw a hint of yearning in each other’s eyes.
If this truly is a hidden garden that was sealed, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity for them.
Everyone knows what’s most important for a cultivator’s practice.
It is precisely wealth, companions, methodology, and location.
And the treasures in a garden are the wealth among these elements.
At this moment, the four quickly reached a mutual understanding.
Without any hesitation, they transformed into four escape lights and flew toward the direction where the spirit light had appeared.
And of course, such a great commotion couldn’t escape the notice of others.
Almost simultaneously, escape lights appeared from various directions.
The target was the same possible location of the garden.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Before long, Ji Haoyuan and his party arrived at their destination.
Looking up.
There appeared the shadow of a garden.
Rows of spirit grasses and flowers shimmering with treasure light flickered in and out of view.
This was indeed a garden about to emerge!
However, there was clearly still a protective barrier around it.
To enter, they could either wait for the barrier to dissipate naturally or break through it ahead of time.
Ji Haoyuan observed carefully.
He noticed the barrier was visibly weakened.
Furthermore, the spiritual Qi stored within seemed to be sparse.
Otherwise, the garden wouldn’t have remained undiscovered for so long here.
However, breaking the barrier in a short time wasn’t easy.
Besides, even if he could, Ji Haoyuan wouldn’t do so now.
Because after them, several more groups arrived.
Scanning with his eyes.
He found many of them were local cultivators.
But soon, Ji Haoyuan and his companions’ expressions turned solemn.
Because after those groups, more people appeared one after another.
Among them, they saw several cultivators wearing Netherworld Sect attire.
The leader was a burly man with yellow hair and completely black eyes.
His cultivation was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Clearly, he had the highest cultivation among everyone present, aside from Ji Haoyuan.
Yet neither he nor the Netherworld Sect cultivators around him noticed Ji Haoyuan and his companions’ identities.
Since they weren’t sect practitioners, their attire didn’t bear the Crimson Sunset Sect’s markings.
However, just at that moment, two more escape lights approached from afar.
As Ji Haoyuan discerned the figures in those escape lights, his brow furrowed slightly.
It was no surprise, as the figures were Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Crimson Sunset Sect that Ji Haoyuan knew.
They were Zhou Feng and Ma Qiulin, who had visited the Ji Family before and had some disputes with them.
Soon.
Zhou Feng and Ma Qiulin landed among the crowd.
But their arrival immediately caught the attention of the Netherworld Sect group.
Zhou Feng and Ma Qiulin clearly didn’t expect to see cultivators from Netherworld Sect here.
This change made their expressions turn grim.
Especially when they saw the burly man among the group, their expressions became even worse.
It was the Black Death Daoist from Netherworld Sect.
Now things were a bit troublesome.
Clearly, they were well aware of the situation and knew their strength was likely not a match for the Black Death Daoist’s group.
But soon, next to Zhou Feng, Ma Qiulin seemed to see a breakthrough opportunity and quickly signaled to Zhou Feng before moving toward Ji Haoyuan and his group.
A slight smile unconsciously appeared on the faces of the two.
This made Liu Hongyu, Feng Wanqing, and Qiu Zeyuan next to Ji Haoyuan all frown.
They weren’t foolish.
With a little thought, they understood the intentions of the other party.
Indeed.
As these two approached, Ma Qiulin immediately spoke with a smile:
"Ji and others, what a coincidence.
What brings you here? Did you receive some sect assignment?"
Those words immediately shifted the attention of the nearby Black Death Daoist and his group from Ma Qiulin and Zhou Feng to Ji Haoyuan and his companions.
This made Liu Hongyu, Feng Wanqing, and Qiu Zeyuan’s expressions grim.
Their words were deliberately provocative.
After all, the Black Death Daoist and his group weren’t foolish.
Hearing Ma Qiulin mention sect assignments, they could easily guess Ji Haoyuan and his companions were from the Crimson Sunset Sect.
They were being used as a shield.
Buzz!
As various thoughts flitted through everyone’s minds, the once faint image of the garden suddenly solidified.
Even the barrier surrounding it seemed to thin, beginning to dissipate.
Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan and his companions, as well as the Black Death Daoist group, shifted their focus to the garden.
After all, everyone gathered here because of this garden.
Faced with such a possible opportunity, sect grudges and personal vendettas could be temporarily set aside.
At least, before officially entering the garden, any avoidable conflicts should be avoided.
Because in this short time, the garden had fully revealed itself to everyone.
The barrier that surrounded it vanished instantaneously without a trace.
"Go!"
Ji Haoyuan didn’t hesitate.
After transmitting a message to Liu Hongyu and the others, he rushed toward the garden entrance.
Upon hearing him, Liu Hongyu and the others immediately followed.
But as Ji Haoyuan’s group entered the garden, they found Zhou Feng and Ma Qiulin were trailing behind them.
This made the four furrow their brows once more.
A hint of coldness appeared in Ji Haoyuan’s eyes.
Swish—
Just then, the mist ahead suddenly dissipated.
Next, a vast field of herbs appeared before them.
"Is that?
Orchid Butterfly Grass! Hundred Jade Fruit! Celestial One Profound Flower! Wuling Green Vine...!"
All were spirit grasses and flowers of the second rank or higher.
And none were of a low age.
