Chapter 147 Qin Chen's Treasure Scroll
Liu Jiang could feel the lingering fear when he looked at the Three Flower Serpent's body near him.
" Haaah,? To think this bastard was lurking while we were fighting the Earthshard Elephant." Liu Jiang sat on the ground as he sighed.
" Brother Long, Thank you for your timely help. If I had been poisoned by that serpent, it would been disastrous."
Long Ming and Mu Qinglian walked out from the shadows as they looked at Liu Jiang.
" It's alright, Brother Lu. After all, I promised Elder Ren to accompany you during the expedition." Long Ming nodded.
Looking at the corpse of the Earthshard Elephant, Long Ming looked at Liu Jiang with understanding. " I see. This Earthshard Elephant is rich with dense Earth Qi, which is beneficial for your qi cultivation and? Purple Crystal Physique."
" Hehe, Indeed. After refining some Body Remolding Pills, I can improve my physique to the peak of Minor Completion Realm and try to overcome the Physique Tribulation." Liu Jiang chuckled.
" However, I never expected to meet a Low stage Harmonization Realm Demonic Beast here. Almost half of my preparations are wasted on this." Liu Jiang sighed. " But then, It's nice to hunt a Low stage Harmonization Realm demonic beast on my own, yes?"
Long Ming chuckled when he heard that. Indeed, for those who got a powerful background, the chances of defeating a higher level opponent is better than any ordinary cultivators.
After all, powerful talismans, formations, weapons, skills and medicinal pills, even one of them can shorten the gaps between two cultivators with uneven power.
The five talismans the subordinates of Liu Jiang used are all top Earth grade Talismans, each costing more than five million High grade Spirit Stones.
However, with five of them, It created a Five Water Dragon Seal, that negates the Earth elemental power of the Earthshard Elephant. If Liu Jiang wasn't from the Liu Family of Southern Green Mountain, he and his comrades would have died on the spot without complete corpses.
" This year, the Azure Sun Secret Realm has become much harder. However, the resources are also abundant." Mu Qinglian commented.
" Indeed, Saintess Mu is correct."
Long Ming looked at Liu Jiang. " Brother Liu, Where are you going from now?"
" I am thinking of going to the Herbal Sanctuary. Who knows? I might find some rare medicinal herbs?" Liu Jiang nodded.
" Very well, Shall we go together? It's almost dawn." Long Ming spoke.
" Since Brother Long is insists, Then I won't reject it." Liu Jiang nodded. Long Ming walked and picked the demonic serpent, removing its poison glands.
" With this, It will work well with my arrows." Long Ming grinned as he put it away.
The Herbal Sanctuary was a place in Core Zone, where the elders of Four Seasons Valley stored precious medicinal herbs.
" It's always been a place of attraction. Because many of the medicinal herbs were secured with powerful formations. Some are even hard for a Formation Grandmaster to break them."
" So, there should be still various ancient medicinal herbs hidden from public eyes." Liu Jiang explained.
" Aiiz, Now I thought, I should have brought Luo Yingying with us. She could have helped us to solve the formations." Mu Qinglian sighed.
" Well, I can also try if you don't mind." Long Ming chuckled. " But I can't say for sure."
" Huh? Brother Long, You also know about formation arts?"
" Well, You can say I dabble a bit in it." Long Ming smiled. " I guess we should hasten a bit, no?"
Long Ming arched his back as lightning crackled around his legs. With a flash, he disappeared from his spot.
" Hey! Don't rush away like that!"
Mu Qinglian rose as the wind blew around her. Taking a step, she faded into the wind itself.
" Autumn Wind Flutter!"
Mu Qinglian's movements were like a leaf fluttering down from a tree. Yet, her speed was equal to Long Ming's Rushing Lightning Steps. Liu Jiang was stunned when he saw both of them disappear like that.
" Hey! Wait for me!"
It took them three hours before they reached the Herbal Sanctuary. And as they expected, it was overcrowded.
A giant green mountain filled with green vegetation stood before them. Long Ming could see the flickering runic chains in the sky above the mountain.
" That's… Azure Wood Spirit Gathering Formation." Long Ming looked at the mountain and recognized it instantly.
" What's that?" Mu Qinglian was surprised.
" Such a formation gathers the qi of heaven and earth and draws the energy from the Spirit Veins inside the ground, converting into Wood qi to nourish the herbs. It can reduce the growing time of herbs exponentially."
Long Ming looked at everyone and explained. " Such a powerful formation of this scale can be only deployed by a Formation Emperor or joint effort of several Formation Kings."
" However, Amidst this, there is also a Golden Orb Great Guardian Formation." Long Ming rubbed his palm.
" This formation is both an attacking and defensive formation, It's like multiple small circles inside a large circle. Each small circle protects a batch of herbs."
" It's better to crack the small circles to get the herbs. If we attack the main circle, all the herbs might get destroyed." Long Ming rubbed his chin. " How thoughtful. It's made precisely for guarding precious herbs."
" Get away! This Crimson Sunflower is something I found first!"
" Damn it! This stalk of Spirit Grass is mine!"
Everyone in the Herbal Sanctuary was looking for herbs frantically. Such a place. The entire mountain was crowded with cultivators from various powers.
Battles and skirmishes were pretty common. Not only did they need to fight demonic beasts who were guarding the herbs, but they also needed to fight against the cultivators who were eyeing the medicinal herbs.
*BOOM BOOOM*
" Arrrgh!"
" What the hell! Why there is a Purple Steel Condor here?!"
Long Ming and others were shocked when they saw a purple shadow streaking across the sky.
" Fuck! Isn't that a Mid-stage Harmonization Realm Demonic Beast?" Liu Jiang cursed. " How the hell that thing is alive? Should it not be killed by the Imperial Laws?"
" Sister Mu, Let's not be involved with that." Long Ming's eyes narrowed. "? There are some people behind this. We should stay in sidelines and focus on our own objective."
*XIU XIU XIU XIU*
The Purple Steel Condor screeched and flapped its wings violently. It's feathers shot out like purple darts of bullets, covering a large area. More than a dozen cultivators got skewed instantly by those feathers.
" Filthy beast! Where do you think you are running!"
Dozens of flaming ropes shot into the sky, trying to wrap around the Purple Steel Condor. The talons on the condor flared up as it tried to resist those flaming ropes.
" Hmph! Don't think you can escape!"
Long Ming saw a group of people trying the catch the Purple Steel Condor. It was the team of Fourth Prince, Qin Chen.
Qin Chen rushed forward as his imperial robe fluttered with the wind. The Purple Steel Condor gazed at him with a hateful gaze.
*KREWWWW*
It just made a slashing motion with its gleaming claws and sharp arcs of wind shot at Qin Chen. The arcs moved towards Qin Chen with an extraordinary speed.
Qin Chen laughed coldly as a blue colored barrier appeared around him. It was like like blue colored scales of a beast, with golden flames flickering amidst the gaps of the scales.
" Great Qilin Armor!"
*BOOM BOOM BOOM*
Long Ming was amazed at how the shield blocked the attack of the condor. But thanks not all.
The subordinates of Qin Chen already tied the condor with flaming ropes. Then, Qin Chen unfurled a scroll, making it flash with a multicolored light.
Suddenly, the ink streaked across the sky as a giant figure holding a halberd appeared in the air. Just by looking at it, One could feel a tremendous aura of a powerful cultivator.
The halberd moved swiftly, drawing an arc. It is chopped down with powerful momentum as if a single slash can behead a hundred cultivators.
The sky was covered with strokes of ink as the figure moved its halberd, slicing off the wings of the Purple Steel Condor.
It was only a few breaths of time as Qin Chen hurriedly folded the scroll. With Heavenly Revelation Eyes, Long Ming could see the aura of the scroll became much weaker.
' Is that a treasure left behind by an Ancient Lord Realm cultivator?' Long Ming was shocked.
With a screech, the Purple Steel Condor fell to the ground as its blood splashed out.
Long Ming smacked his lips when he saw Qin Chen using such powerful treasure. It looks like the Imperial Family has an abundance of treasures.
" Huh? Look at this."
Long Ming turned around and focused at a patch of bush with curiosity. Stretching his palm, he patted on it, making a golden light barrier appear around it.
" Huh? I thought those were just some ordinary grass. Where there is a formation shield around it?" Mu Qinglian was surprised.
" Because there is a precious medicinal herb hidden here among the pile of these grasses." Long Ming smiled.
" A Twenty Thousand Year old Pale Silkworm Flower." Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush and started to crack down the formation orb.
With his high comprehension of rune formations and Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he quickly noticed the weak spots and started to expand them.
Soon, cracks appeared on the orb of light as Long Ming put his hands inside it. Swiftly, he plucked a beautiful flower and sealed it inside a jade box.
" Haha, This is an unexpected treasure!" Long Ming laughed out loud.
" Hey, You guys! What are you doing in the area of Fourth Prince?"A voice shouted, vanishing the happy mood of Long Ming.
" Leave the treasure behind and fuck off!"
Now, Long Ming's mood turned into shit.
" Can't we just have a good time in a secret realm?"
