Jiang Qiong felt the surging spiritual energy in the sea of ​​stars, and he felt full of vigor and excitement.

He took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the sea of ​​light. His starlight armor gleamed brightly in the sunlight, like a powerful creature descending from the sky.

The moment he stepped out of the sea of ​​stars, Jiang Qiong was so excited that he couldn't help but let out a breath.

After walking out, Jiang Qiong continued to move forward.

Walked for a while.

Jiang Qiong saw from afar the vague outline of a town not far away. The atmosphere of the town formed a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the surroundings.

When Jiang Qiong approached the town, he was amazed by the scene before him.

The town's streets are wide and neat, with shops lined up on both sides and various signs shining in the sun.

At the entrance of the shop, customers were bustling around, and the sound of laughter and conversation was intertwined.

"Interesting, there is actually a town inside the secret realm!"

"Is it an illusion?"

Jiang Qiong showed surprise on his face, looked around carefully, and continued walking forward.

On the streets, vendors shouted enthusiastically, selling a variety of goods: fresh fruits, delicious food, exquisite handicrafts...

Jiang Qiong's attention was attracted by a stall. The stall owner was a kind old man who was making sweet candied haws with skillful techniques. The bright red fruits sparkled with an attractive luster in the sun.

"Young man, would you like to try it?" The old man greeted Jiang Qiong with a smile.

"Okay!" Jiang Qiong walked over without hesitation.

He took a bite of the candied haws, and the sweet taste instantly burst into his mouth, as if bringing him back to his childhood.

Jiang Qiong was moved. Although the town in front of her was not big, it was full of the breath of life and the warmth of human feelings.

Continuing to walk forward, the shops on both sides of the street became more and more prosperous. Jiang Qiong saw a magic weapon shop with all kinds of weapons hanging at the door, including swords, knives, guns, and halberds.

He walked in. The air in the store was filled with the fragrance of metal and a strong spirituality. The owner was a burly middle-aged man who was concentrating on polishing a long sword.

"Young man, do you like anything?" The shop owner raised his head, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"I want to see this sword." Jiang Qiong pointed at a long sword that was flashing with cold light, and a strong desire surged in his heart.

"Good taste. This sword was forged by me using the finest cold iron. It is extremely sharp and suits your temperament." The owner smiled slightly, and the long sword in his hand flashed dazzlingly in the sun.

Jiang Qiong gripped the hilt of the sword, feeling the warmth and power coming from the sword, and felt excited.

After some bargaining, he finally bought the sword at a reasonable price. He was secretly glad that this trip to the secret realm not only gave him powerful strength, but also allowed him to obtain such a good weapon.

After leaving the magic tool shop, Jiang Qiong continued to wander around the town. The teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street were bustling with people gathering together, chatting and laughing, enjoying the fun of life.

He couldn't help but stop, walked into a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, sat by the window, and quietly admired the bustling scene on the street.

Outside the window, the sun shines on the street, making the smiling faces of passers-by look particularly bright.

Jiang Qiong felt a peace and satisfaction she had never felt before.

At this moment, the door of the teahouse was pushed open and a woman in white walked in.

Her temperament was like a gentle breeze, and she emanated a faint spiritual aura, which made Jiang Qiong look at her a few more times.

She walked to the counter and spoke softly to the owner, her clear voice as sweet as a silver bell.

"Miss, are you here to visit the town as well?" Jiang Qiong mustered up the courage to ask her.

The woman turned her head, her eyes as bright as stars, and she smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I am here to look for some spiritual herbs. I heard that the spiritual herbs here are extremely precious."

Jiang Qiong's heart moved, and she responded with a smile:
"I am also very interested in spiritual herbs. Can we discuss this together?"

"Of course." The woman nodded, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "My name is Bai Yao, nice to meet you."

Jiang Qiong felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "My name is Jiang Qiong."

Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao were having a pleasant chat in the teahouse. The sunlight outside the window shone through the leaves, casting mottled shadows.

After a brief chat, the two decided to go to the sacred mountain near the town to look for the legendary magical herbs and medicines.

After leaving the teahouse, Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao walked along the town’s streets towards Lingshan.

Along the way, the breeze blows on your face, bringing bursts of flower fragrance, and the trees on both sides of the street are lush and green.

As my pace quickened, the hustle and bustle of the town faded away, leaving only the chirping of birds and the sound of the wind.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. The mountain was steep and green. The path in the mountain meandered upwards, as if leading them to a higher place.

Jiang Qiong looked up and saw the top of Lingshan Mountain vaguely visible, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

He couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart, secretly looking forward to the upcoming adventure.

Just as they were about to set out on the mountain road, they heard laughter coming from the front.

Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao looked at each other and walked towards the direction of the sound.

Through the gaps between the trees, they saw a group of herbalists gathered together, sitting around a large rock, discussing something with great interest.

There were about a dozen herbalists in this group, both men and women.

The man was of burly build, wearing coarse cloth, with a bit of dirt on his face, looking simple and strong;
The women mostly wear light dresses, look fresh and natural, and their laughter is crisp, like a mountain stream.

Everyone was holding a basket in their hands or carrying a small bag on their back.

"Hey, are you new here?" One of the tall men stood up immediately when he saw Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao and greeted them enthusiastically.

He had a sunny smile on his face and looked very friendly.

"Yes, we just arrived in the town and plan to go up the mountain to look for spiritual herbs." Jiang Qiong responded, feeling the friendly atmosphere of this group of people in his heart.

"That's great. We are also preparing to go up the mountain! The spiritual herbs here are very precious, especially in this season. It is a good time to pick them."

A woman with long flowing hair interrupted, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Let's go up the mountain together. With us leading the way, we will definitely find a lot of good things!" The tall man patted his chest, appearing very confident.

Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao looked at each other and both thought that this suggestion was very good, so they nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go together!"

Then, the herb collectors gathered together, formed a circle, and began to introduce each other's names. Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao also joined in.

The tall man introduced himself: "My name is Li Dayong, everyone calls me Brother Dayong, and this is my partner Xiaomei."

He pointed at the woman next to him, who smiled slightly, revealing a row of white teeth.

"My name is Jiang Qiong, and this is my friend Bai Yao." Jiang Qiong said softly, and Bai Yao nodded to everyone, appearing gentle and polite.

"Let's go. Lingshan is just ahead. Let's go up the mountain together and exchange experiences in collecting herbs!" Li Dayong said cheerfully, and then took the lead and walked towards the mountain road.

Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao were at the back, listening to the herbalists share their techniques and experiences in picking herbs, and their understanding of spiritual herbs gradually deepened.

Li Dayong would stop from time to time, pointing at the plants on the roadside and introducing their medicinal value, while Bai Yao would occasionally interrupt and share her own insights, and the tacit understanding between the two gradually strengthened.

Halfway up the mountain road, they came across an open area where the sun shone brightly, making the surroundings full of vitality.

The air here is filled with a faint floral scent.

Li Dayong stopped and pointed to the hillside ahead and said, "This is where we often come to collect herbs. There are many spiritual herbs. You can pick whatever you like!"

Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao walked towards the hillside excitedly. The surrounding grass and trees looked particularly vibrant under the sunlight.

Jiang Qiong carefully observed the plants around him, thinking to himself, "The growth environment of spiritual herbs is related to the concentration of spiritual energy. The closer to the top of the mountain, the more spiritual energy there is, and the higher the quality of the spiritual herbs."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked towards the top of the hill.

Bai Yao was on the other side, concentrating on searching for her favorite spiritual herb. Occasionally she would stop and look down, with a serious and focused expression on her face.

Jiang Qiong looked at her and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart. She felt that this woman was not only beautiful, but also had persistence and passion.

At this moment, Li Dayong's voice came from behind: "Brother Jiang, Miss Bai, come and see this!"

Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao turned around and saw Li Dayong pointing at a magical herb growing in a crevice of a rock.

"This is a rare thousand-year-old magical herb with extremely precious medicinal effects!" Li Dayong's face was full of excitement, with a gleam in his eyes.

Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao rushed over quickly, and were delighted when they saw the magical herb.

Bai Yao said softly: "The aura of this spiritual herb is so strong, it is really a rare treasure!"

"Let's pick it together!" Jiang Qiong suggested, looking forward to this herb-picking trip.

With the help of Li Dayong and other herbalists, Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao carefully picked the magical herbs.

Just when Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao carefully picked the thousand-year-old spiritual herb, suddenly, a rustling sound came from the cracks in the rock.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened and he looked up alertly, just in time to see a black poisonous snake suddenly jump out from the crack and pounce towards them.

"Get out of the way!" Jiang Qiong shouted, alarm bells ringing in her heart.

The venomous snake was as fast as lightning and approached in an instant.

"Ah!" Bai Yao screamed and stepped back quickly, but it was too late to avoid the poisonous snake's attack.

At this moment, Li Dayong and other herbalists also sensed the danger and ran towards them.

However, to Jiang Qiong's surprise, Li Dayong and others did not help them immediately, but surrounded them in an instant.

A sinister smile appeared on Li Dayong's face: "Brother Jiang, it seems that we have some misunderstandings. We can't let you get away with your spiritual herbs!"

"What are you doing!" Jiang Qiong was furious and felt uneasy. He looked at the scene in disbelief.

"Don't resist. This pillar of spiritual herb is our trap. We didn't expect you to really take the bait! Be smart and hand over the valuables on you, and we will let you go!" Li Dayong said coldly, with greed flashing in his eyes.

"You are committing robbery!" Bai Yao shouted angrily, feeling extremely aggrieved.

She and Jiang Qiong just wanted to come here to collect herbs, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

At this time, the poisonous snake also twisted its body and pounced towards Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. He felt a strong sense of crisis, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"I can't be trapped like this!" Jiang Qiong made a secret decision, and a powerful spiritual energy quickly condensed in his body.

He took a deep breath and quickly formed seals with his hands. As he recited the spell, starlight and lightning armor flashed on his body, like a layer of shining shield, surrounding him and Bai Yao.

"Go!" Jiang Qiong roared, and the lightning spell was released instantly. The strong electric light struck down like lightning and hit the poisonous snake that was pouncing on it.

The poisonous snake let out a shrill hiss, and was instantly struck by lightning. It fell to the ground with its body twisted, appearing to be in great pain.

"You are so naive to think of a sneak attack on me!" Jiang Qiong's face was stern and his eyes were as sharp as torches. He stared directly at Li Dayong and others. The light emitted by the lightning armor flickered behind him, as if adding endless courage to him.

Li Dayong and others looked at each other in bewilderment, their original confidence being shattered at this moment.

They didn't expect that Jiang Qiong in front of them actually possessed such powerful strength, and they couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

"Quick, retreat!" Li Dayong shouted, trying to command others to retreat, but it was too late.

Jiang Qiong released lightning spells one after another. The lightning burst out with powerful spiritual power in the air, illuminating the entire hillside.

"If you dare to come closer again, I won't be polite!" Jiang Qiong warned angrily, with lightning flashing in his hands, as if declaring his strength and determination.

"We...we didn't mean it!" an herbalist explained hurriedly, with fear in his eyes and secret regret in his heart.

They thought Jiang Qiong and Bai Yao were ordinary herbalists, but they didn't expect to offend such a powerful person.

"Now, get out of my way!" Jiang Qiong continued to shout majestically. The light of the lightning armor became more and more dazzling, and the air around him seemed to be filled with a tense atmosphere.

Li Dayong and others retreated in fear, knowing that if they did not retreat today, they would face even greater danger.

They looked at each other, and finally chose to retreat, slowly moving aside.

"Let's go!" Li Dayong ordered in a low voice and quickly left with the others, fearing that they would be affected by Jiang Qiong's lightning spell again.

"At this point, you still want to leave?" Jiang Qiong asked coldly, staring at their backs with a sharp gaze.

"Please let us go, Master!"

"We won't come again!" Li Dayong's voice came from a distance, mixed with a bit of unwillingness and anger.

"How ridiculous!" Jiang Qiong sneered, without any hesitation, he burst out with the power of thunder and bombarded Li Dayong and others. (End of this chapter)
