Chapter 988 The Great Demon In The Imperial Medicine Garden (2)

?

As he cut the vine into two pieces, he whispered, "One pill, 80 million, one pill, 80 million, one pill, 80 million…"

The other pill cultivators all rushed forward, quickly harvesting the Cloud Vine.

Many people shouted with joy, "We're getting rich, we're getting rich!"

This made the sword cultivators and soldiers standing behind them envious.

"Cough cough, this collection speed is too slow. Why don't we go and help?" Someone muttered.

"The technique for collecting the main ingredient of this third-grade pill is unique. Acting rashly would do more harm than good," Huang Zhihu raised her head and said loudly.

She understood her adoptive father's intentions. This was deliberately raising the status of the alchemy cultivators.

If they couldn't receive attention and elevate their status during this bountiful harvest in the Medicinal Valley, then everyone would treat them as fat meat to be feasted upon in the future.

An hour later, Li Qingshi and the others returned happily.

This Cloud Vine, which covered the entire city wall, could be used to refine tens of thousands of third-grade pills.

Just from this batch, they made a huge profit.

"Let's go."

Han Muye said calmly and walked forward.

After passing through the city wall, they encountered all kinds of spirit herbs and immortal herbs that had turned into demons along the way.

Some extended for dozens of miles with branches like whips.

Some had trees full of flowers but were extremely dangerous, devouring any living beings that came near.

Some hid in the darkness, but could manipulate the power of the soul, making people unknowingly follow their lead.

Among them, there was a Nine Vine Cloud Crane Grass that contained a potent poison. Several powerful Nine-Tailed Cat Demon Clan members who were investigating ahead almost couldn't come back. It was Li Qingshi who took action and saved them.

And to collect this highly toxic celestial medicine that emitted poisonous mist for 30,000 feet, all they needed was to hold a basin of clear water and continuously pour and sprinkle it with the blood of three different demonic beasts to neutralize the toxicity.

When they arrived at the habitat of the Cloud Crane Grass, they wrapped it completely in soil, sealing off all the poisonous mist.

The various methods employed by the pill cultivators made the sword cultivators open their eyes, and their previously arrogant attitudes slowly changed.

While collecting a solitary swordwood, the swirling sword shadows that filled the sky prevented the pill cultivators from approaching at all.

At that moment, the sword cultivator took action, holding back the sword light. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the pill cultivators stepped forward and dug out the tree, which required the strength of five people to embrace.gm

The heartwood of this solitary swordwood could be used for pill refinement to produce second-grade fetus-nurturing pills, while the branches, leaves, and thorns were materials for crafting high-quality swords.

The thorns only needed the pill cultivators to soak them in a secret method to make them soft, and then they could be handed over to the weapon forger to forge into swords.

If combined with superior materials, it might even become a magic treasure-level sword.

A solitary Swordwood had over 10,000 thorns, and the other wood, branches, and bark amounted to 100,000 pieces.

Even if these treasures were divided equally, each sword cultivator would receive materials worth billions of spiritual rocks.

Sword cultivators were mostly poor.

This time, it was a win-win situation for everyone.

As they gathered the demonized spiritual medicines along the way, the pill cultivators of the Medicinal Valley were all excited and eager.

They had already obtained so many precious spiritual and celestial medicines even before reaching the Imperial Medicine Garden. What would it be like in the actual garden?

"Your Majesty, the herb garden is just ahead." After seven days, the group stopped in an area enveloped in green spiritual light.

"While the seal hasn't been completely broken, it's no longer able to suppress the great demons within," Zhu Yuanshan, a tall figure with a full beard and mustache, stood behind Han Muye and spoke in a deep voice.

The people beside him all wore solemn expressions.

At this moment, be it those alchemists or sword cultivators, they were all on high alert, their faces devoid of the previous relaxed contentment.

The flickering spiritual light mixed with immortal qi in the Medicinal Garden traversed the heavens and the earth with each flash.

If such power were to break out of the grand formation, they would likely be unable to withstand it.

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning appeared on the light formation, accompanied by piercing roars from within.

Green phantoms emerged one by one, their spiritual lights intertwining.

These were the great demons that broke through the suppression of the light formation.

Unlike the likes of Mu Jin and the other demons of the Heavenly Mystic Western Frontier, these demons had not transformed their shapes; their forms still resembled branches or vines.

However, the aura they emitted, as well as their condensed spiritual energy, was no less formidable than that of Divine Transformation cultivators.

Within the light formation behind them, there were even many auras surpassing the Divine Transformation realm.

"Swoosh—"

A green flower bud flew out, appearing in front of Han Muye with a fleeting motion.

"Clang—"

A sword blocked the flower, and Li Three, wielding the long sword, had a cold expression.

Sword radiance filled the air as it tangled with the flower. This flower seemed to be an unparalleled swordsman, appearing every time at the precise location where the sword was about to strike.

No matter how fast or slow the sword radiance was, Li Xixi couldn't escape the range of this flower.

"Third Sister, try closing your eyes," Han Muye suddenly spoke as he watched the swirling sword edge.

Li Three nodded and closed her eyes.

In the instant her eyes closed, the flying flower trembled as if it lost its traction and had nowhere to exert force.

"Slash—"

Li Xixi stabbed the flower with her sword, piercing it through.

The flower trembled, and all the petals scattered, converging towards her.

However, without the previous pulling force, Li Xixi swept her sword horizontally, imprisoning all the petals.

"I know, this is a three-colored Skyswirl Flower!"

"It is said that this flower can reflect the state of someone's mind. The petals, when used for pill refinement, can enhance spiritual power."

Li Qingshi exclaimed as he looked at the imprisoned petals.

Because it reflected Li Three's state of mind, no matter how she wielded her sword, the flower could perceive it.

But when she closed her eyes, the flower had nowhere to perceive.

There weren't many treasures in the world that could enhance spiritual power, and each one was invaluable.

Li Three retracted her sword radiance and collected all the petals into a small jade box.

Ahead, a thousand-foot-tall flower tree appeared, and on the tree, flower blossoms resembling stars slowly floated and bloomed.

Both the alchemists and sword cultivators had a change in their expressions.

A single green flower could make a sword expert like Li Three struggle to deal with it. If all the flowers on the tree scattered, who could suppress them?

Xia Zhenhu and the others placed their hands on the sword hilts and stepped forward. Instantly, they activated the power of their military formation, transforming into a golden tiger, guarding Han Muye.

Huang Six grinned. The Royal Emblem Chart transformed into a gray-black light curtain, enveloping the blossoming tree ahead.

"Hiss—

The gray light curtain descended, causing the flowers on the entire tree to scatter. Colliding with the light curtain, the tree emitted a roar.

The Royal Emblem Chart was a priceless treasure, possessing power that could suppress a realm.

The visibly suppressed blossoms were devoured one by one.

As each flower bloomed on the tree, it emitted dazzling spiritual light and a faint fragrance filled the air.

"The pollen of the Three-Colored Skyswirl Flower can bewitch one's spirit. Be careful!" Li Qingshi's spiritual light flickered as he shouted.

Now that the alchemists and sword cultivators had a harmonious relationship, they naturally wanted to remind each other.

Many alchemists behind him took out pills and turned to walk towards the sword cultivators.

Many familiar faces reached out without hesitation to receive the pills.

"2.5 million spiritual rocks each, non-negotiable."

The alchemists loudly announced their prices, causing many reaching hands of the sword cultivators to retract.

"Boom!"

Under the suppression and devouring of the Royal Emblem Chart, the blossoms on the tree showed signs of withering. The tree swayed as if it was about to wither.

"Your Majesty, why do you execute without teaching—"

Within the grand formation ahead, a faint female voice sounded, and endless green light flashed, enveloping the flower tree before transforming into a 'y'.

A girl in a floral dress with a pale face was pulled back into the light formation by a beam of light.

"Your Majesty, this is the great demon in the Imperial Medicine Garden," Xia Zhenhu bowed and reported.

Han Muye nodded, squinting his eyes as he looked at the bustling medicine garden ahead, filled with spiritual lights.

Huang Laoliu put away the Royal Emblem Chart and whispered, "This great demon is formidable. Even if the Heavenly Venerable came, it would be difficult to suppress it."

It was not just Heavenly Venerables. With The formation here and Xia Zhenhu's military formation, this place could withstand top-tier experts.

Otherwise, why hadn't this place been breached for countless years?

How could the remnants of the Divine Court, in those days, not pay attention to this place?

Surely, many ancient powers hidden in the Upper Three Heavens had encountered obstacles here.

Xia Zhenhu and the others claimed to be powerless in front of him, allowing the great demons in the Imperial Medicine Garden to establish their dominance. In reality, they were surviving all these years thanks to the power within the garden.

Without these great demons, they would undoubtedly be wiped out.

"To execute without teaching?"

Han Muye took a leisurely step forward, and a majestic golden light surged from his body, soaring.
