Nan Fengxue's ice spells became increasingly fierce, and the ice spikes shot towards the thieves like dense raindrops. The thieves dodged one after another, and their formation was in chaos.

Lang Nana's vines danced even more wildly, whipping the thieves. The thieves were beaten to the ground and could not organize an effective attack.

Thanks to their efforts, the bandits' attack finally showed some signs of chaos.

Jiang Qiong took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. His soft sword was like a dragon emerging from the sea, stabbing out several times in succession.

His sword skills are as fast as lightning, making it hard to keep up.

The leader was unable to resist and his arm was scratched. The blood stained his sleeves red. The blood bloomed on his sleeves like a blooming red flower.

The leader's face changed, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and wanted to escape.

How could Jiang Qiong miss this opportunity? He shouted, "Where are you escaping to!" He swung the soft sword and a sword energy whizzed out from the blade. The sword energy was like a flash of lightning and hit the leader's back.

The leader screamed, fell forward, and there was no movement anymore. His body lay on the ground like a silent mountain.

When the bandits saw their leader being killed, their morale was immediately thrown into chaos, and they began to flee in all directions like sheep that had lost their direction.

Jiang Qiong and others took advantage of the victory to pursue and repel the remaining bandits one by one.

After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in protecting the elixir. Jiang Qiong put away his sword and breathed a sigh of relief. He showed a tired but relieved smile on his face. He looked at his tired but relieved companions and said, "Thanks to everyone, we successfully protected the elixir this time."

Nan Fengxue wiped the sweat from her forehead, and the sweat slid down her cheeks like crystal pearls.

She smiled and said, "Yes, but where do these thieves come from, and why do they want to steal our elixir?"

Lang Nana frowned and thought, "Could it be related to the previous arson incident? Maybe it's all a conspiracy of the Shadow Alliance."

Jiang Qiong nodded slightly: "It is very likely. It seems that we have to be more careful in the future. In any case, let's send the spiritual medicine safely to Xingyun Chamber of Commerce first."

Everyone reorganized their team and continued to move forward. After this battle, they were more vigilant and kept an eye on the surroundings, like a group of vigilant sentinels.

Finally, before the sun set, they successfully arrived at the agreed delivery location. President Lin had been waiting there for a long time, standing there gracefully, like a blooming peony.

Seeing Jiang Qiong and the others arrive safely, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, the three of you. This time, it is all thanks to you. Xingyun Chamber of Commerce will definitely repay you in the future."

Jiang Qiong handed the hearse to President Lin's men and said, "President Lin, you are too polite. This is our duty. I hope this batch of spiritual medicine will satisfy you."

President Lin checked the quality of the spiritual medicine. She carefully examined each spiritual plant with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

He nodded repeatedly: "The three of you are indeed trustworthy. These spiritual medicines are of high quality and are exactly what we need."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and an accountant came forward and handed over a bag full of spiritual stones: "This is the balance, please check it."

Jiang Qiong took the bag, felt the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual stone inside, and felt a sense of accomplishment. After saying goodbye to President Lin, they set out on the road back to the spiritual medicine garden.

On the way back, Jiang Qiong and the other two were in heavy moods. They knew that this attack was just the beginning and they would face more challenges in the future.

But they are not afraid, because they believe that as long as they unite as one, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.

They will continue to protect the spiritual medicine garden and contribute their own strength to the development of the Immortal Sect. At the same time, they will continue to write their own legendary stories on this thorny road of cultivating immortals.

After returning to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Qiong and the other two told Li Yi and other Immortal Sect disciples about their experience in detail.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked and worried about future safety issues.

Li Yi frowned and said, "It seems that the Shadow Alliance is determined to seize our spiritual medicine garden. We must strengthen our defenses and never let them succeed."

Jiang Qiong nodded in agreement: "Manager Li is right. We need to re-plan the defense measures of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, increase patrol personnel, and strengthen monitoring of the surrounding environment to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

Nan Fengxue put forward her own suggestion: "I think we can set up some traps and alarm devices around the spiritual medicine garden, so that if outsiders break in, they can be discovered in time. In addition, we can also organize the disciples of the Immortal Sect to conduct actual combat drills to improve everyone's combat capabilities."

Lang Nana also spoke actively: "I can use the power of spiritual plants to place some defensive spiritual plants around the spiritual medicine garden, such as thorny vines, flowers that can release poisonous mist, etc., so that the enemy dare not approach easily."

Li Yi listened to everyone's suggestions and nodded repeatedly: "Everyone said very well, let's do as you said. Starting from tomorrow, we will start preparing."

In the following days, the Spiritual Medicine Garden was busy. Jiang Qiong and the other two led the disciples of the Immortal Sect to strengthen the defense of the Spiritual Medicine Garden in an orderly manner according to the plan.

They set up various traps and alarm devices, the traps were hidden underground, waiting for the enemy to step into them;
The alarm devices are cleverly installed at various key locations and once triggered, they will sound a loud alarm.

Defensive spiritual plants were arranged around the spiritual medicine garden. The thorny vines were like green guards, protecting the spiritual medicine garden.
Flowers that can release poisonous mist are like mysterious killers, making the enemies tremble in fear.

Many actual combat drills were also organized, during which the disciples of the Immortal Sect cooperated with each other and continuously improved their combat capabilities.

As the Spiritual Medicine Garden was busy strengthening its defenses, time passed by quickly.

On the surface, everything has returned to calm. The spiritual plants in the spiritual medicine garden are lush and green. The branches and leaves sway in the breeze, and the rich fragrance of medicine permeates every inch of the air, as if all the previous crises have disappeared.

However, beneath this seemingly peaceful appearance, undercurrents are surging and crises are lurking on every side.

That morning, the soft sunlight penetrated the thin morning mist, like a golden veil, gently sprinkling on the vibrant herb garden.

Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana continued to move among the spiritual plants, carefully checking the growth conditions of each one.

Jiang Qiong leaned forward slightly, gently pushed aside a spiritual leaf, and observed the veins on the leaf attentively. She touched it lightly with her fingers, feeling the vitality of the spiritual plant.

Nan Fengxue stood aside, examining the overall shape of the spiritual plant with keen eyes, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Jiang Qiong about his cultivation experience.

Lang Nana shuttled among the spiritual plants like a lively elf. She carefully examined the roots of the spiritual plants and murmured to herself, as if she was having a whispered conversation with the spiritual plants.

Suddenly, a dazzling stream of light whizzed across the sky from above, like a meteor with a long tail, breaking through the tranquil sky and finally landing steadily in the central square of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

The light gradually faded, and a female elder in a light blue robe appeared. Her hair was as white as snow, neatly tied behind her head, and a few strands of hair fluttered gently in the breeze, falling on both sides of her cheeks, adding a bit of otherworldly temperament.

Although the years have left traces on her face, her eyes are sharp and deep, as if containing endless wisdom, like a bottomless pool, making it difficult to fathom.

Her robe was embroidered with intricate and exquisite silver runes. These runes sparkled with a mysterious glow under the sunlight, as if telling an ancient and time-honored story, exuding a unique charm that had been precipitated over the years.

Upon learning of the arrival of the elder, Li Yi hurriedly stepped forward with Jiang Qiong and the other two to greet him.

The female elder swept her eyes gently over the crowd, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she spoke softly: "You must be Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana, I am Elder Binglan of the Immortal Sect."

Upon hearing this, the three of them hurriedly saluted respectfully, with upright postures and humble attitudes.

Elder Binglan nodded slightly and continued, "Recently, a secret realm of the Immortal Sect is about to be opened. This secret realm contains countless opportunities, rare treasures and rich cultivation resources, but it also hides many dangers."

"I heard that the three of you performed well in protecting the Spiritual Medicine Garden and in many other matters, and showed extraordinary courage and wisdom. I specially came to invite you to go with me. Maybe you can gain great opportunities in the secret realm."

Jiang Qiong's heart suddenly moved. He knew very well the value and danger of the secret realm.

If one can gain something in the secret realm, it will bring huge benefits, whether it is to improve one's own strength or to protect the spiritual medicine garden and assist the development of the Immortal Sect.

He subconsciously looked at Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana beside him. The three of them met eyes, and at that moment, they saw expectation and firm determination in each other's eyes.

Jiang Qiong took a step forward, straightened his posture, and said respectfully: "Thank you Elder Binglan for your appreciation. We are willing to go to the secret realm with you."

Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana followed closely behind, agreeing in unison. Elder Binglan smiled with satisfaction, a hint of relief in his smile:

"Okay, then go back and prepare. Gather here tomorrow morning and follow me to the entrance of the secret realm."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and turned into a stream of light, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight, leaving only a breeze blowing gently.

The next morning, when it was just light, Jiang Qiong and the other two arrived at the square early to wait.

They were all dressed in light and well-fitting practice clothes, and moved freely, showing the importance they attached to this trip to the secret realm.

Jiang Qiong had a soft sword on his waist, and the sword was trembling slightly, as if it could sense the owner's inner expectations and was also eager to try, looking forward to the upcoming adventure.

Nan Fengxue held a crystal clear ice staff in her hand, which emitted a hint of coldness, as if echoing with her ice spiritual power. A faint blue light flickered on the staff, which was mysterious and beautiful.

Lang Nana was carrying an exquisite rattan basket filled with various spiritual plant seeds and her specially made spiritual plant talismans. These talismans exuded faint spiritual fluctuations, as if telling of their extraordinaryness.

Elder Binglan appeared on time, holding a token that was emitting a faint glow in her hand. The token was engraved with mysterious runes, which were flashing with faint light, as if containing endless power.

Elder Binglan was muttering something, and as she chanted the spell, the token shone brightly, and the strong light illuminated the entire square.

The space ahead was like a calm lake with a stone thrown into it, causing ripples and a portal emitting a mysterious aura slowly emerging.

There was a faint mist in the portal, with strange light flickering in the mist, as if it led to another mysterious world.

"Follow me." Elder Binglan stepped in first, and her figure gradually disappeared into the portal.

Jiang Qiong and the other two took a deep breath, followed closely, and stepped into the secret realm full of unknowns.

The moment you step into the secret realm, a biting chill hits you in the face, as if countless ice needles are piercing your skin.

The scene before them amazed them. They saw a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth, and endless rolling snow-capped mountains, like a white ocean.

The mountains are towering into the clouds, and the tops are covered with thick snow, shining with golden light under the sunlight, like sacred temples.

The strong wind whistled past, blowing up snow all over the sky. The flying snow was like countless white beasts roaring, with such a mighty force that it made people tremble with fear.

“The spiritual energy here is so rich!”

Lang Nana couldn't help but exclaimed, her eyes wide open, full of surprise.

Indeed, the spiritual energy in the secret realm is so dense that it is almost tangible, as if you can grab a handful with your hand.

With every breath, you can feel the spiritual energy flowing along the meridians, gently nourishing every corner of the body, bringing a tingling and comfortable feeling.

Jiang Qiong circulated his spiritual power and was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation speed was several times faster than in the outside world. He could clearly feel the spiritual power in his body growing rapidly, as if an invisible force was pushing him forward.

Elder Binglan explained: "This secret realm is frozen all year round and contains extremely rich ice-type spiritual energy, which is particularly beneficial for those who practice ice-type techniques."

"But because of this, there are many powerful ice beasts growing here. You must be careful."

After saying that, she took out three beads emitting blue light. The beads were crystal clear, the light was soft, and they emitted faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Elder Binglan distributed the beads to the three people and said, "This is a sound transmission talisman. If you encounter danger, crush it and I will know."

The three of them carefully took the sound transmission talisman and put it in their arms, feeling a sense of warmth and peace of mind in their hearts.

Under the leadership of Elder Binglan, everyone moved forward cautiously on the ice field.

The ice under my feet was thick and hard, and I could hear a crisp sound with every step.

Along the way, they saw many strange ice sculptures, some of which looked like soaring eagles with their wings spread out as if they were about to break through the clouds;

Some look like galloping horses, with strong and lifelike bodies, as if they would run at any time.

These ice sculptures are all the magic works of nature, which make people marvel at the magic and greatness of nature.

Suddenly, Nan Fengxue stopped, her brows slightly furrowed, and a solemn look appeared on her face. (End of this chapter)
