Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 254 Time is the Harvest, Demonic Cult Elder

Lin Wenze wasn't particularly surprised to see the Yunyin Sect members leave so decisively.

After all, when entering secret realms and ruins, strength is what matters.

If you dare to be arrogant when you are not strong enough, you will be taught a lesson. In worse cases, you will be left in secret realms or ruins and die.

This is especially true between neighboring sects such as the Taiyi Sect and the Yunyin Sect.

It is perfectly normal for the blood of disciples from other sects to stain the blood of the two major sects.

Some things are just not out in the open.

When the disciples of the Yunyin Sect want to compete and unleash their true power, they can't control themselves!

"Brother Lin is awesome!"

Ji Peipei said happily as she watched the Yunyin Sect members leave.

Forcing the Yunyin Sect members to leave through intimidation is also a good thing for them.

When masters of Taoist arts clash, injuries or fatalities are possible after the fight begins, and the consumption of Yin Spirit power becomes extremely high, requiring some time to recover.

When one's cultivation in Daoist arts reaches the Yuan Dan level, the ability to recover Yin Spirit power becomes very strong, but only to a certain extent, and it takes time.

In the Menglan Ruins, especially when you first enter, what you need most is time and the right mindset.

The more time you waste, the harder it will be to seize the opportunities that follow.

Because you delayed things, but the others won't; they will simply proceed according to the normal plan and collect other cultivation resources within the Menglan Ruins.

“You all know how to break this formation. The Yunyin Sect just broke it, and they’ve almost done so. Now let’s work together to break the formation in one fell swoop and collect the right Spirit Candle Flowers.”

"We can't waste time, lest something unexpected happens and someone else comes!"

A look of joy appeared on Lin Wenze's face, but he did not relax.

They were able to force the disciples of the Yunyin Sect to leave; if things were delayed, someone might be able to force them to leave as well.

Only by obtaining the spiritual materials, safely escaping the Menglan Ruins, and returning to the sect can these materials truly belong to them. Otherwise, if any unforeseen circumstances arise, these materials will change hands.

Time is of the essence for them right now.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, the others responded in unison.

Shi Yi could clearly see the array above the Spirit Candle Flower Garden. The blue light was somewhat dim, which was the trace left by the four people from the Cloud Sound Sect.

If they had been any slower, the spirit candle flowers here would have been harvested by the Yunyin Sect, and they would have had to go to the next new herb garden!

This is why we need to race against time.

"Oh!"

Under the bombardment of their Taoist arts, the array above the Spirit Candle Flower Garden quickly shattered!

As the formation was broken, an even richer aroma of herbs and medicinal plants rushed out and filled the nostrils of Shi Yi and the others.

At the same time, a large patch of Candleflowers came into view, their fiery red color extremely eye-catching.

The older the candle flower, the more vibrant its color, which also indicates the higher the value of the medicinal garden.

"There are not only seven-flowered Spirit Candle Flowers here, but also many nine-flowered Spirit Candle Flowers."

"We made the right choice coming to this Candleflower garden!"

Ji Peipei saw the situation inside the herb garden clearly and couldn't help but cheer.

The nine-flowered Lingzhu flower in the middle is especially valuable.

Even cultivators at the Dharma Aspect level would be tempted by this sight; its value would be even greater for those at the Core Formation level!
They can exchange for more precious spiritual materials, including cultivation resources that can help them break through to the Yuan Dan realm.

Within the Taiyi Dao Sect, the higher the level of cultivation resources, the more stringent the exchange conditions become, requiring some extremely difficult conditions.

"The spirit-gathering array here is much more effective than we expected!"

"Quickly collect enough aged candle flowers here."

"With these spiritual materials, we can exchange them for quite a few pills to aid our cultivation!"

Qu Xiujie was also somewhat surprised to see this, but he didn't think about it for long before he started collecting the materials!

The extra nine-flowered spirit candle flowers were an unexpected bonus for them.

However, we can't waste any time now. We need to get the items first, and then head to the next location.

The Yunyin Sect members hadn't competed with him before, not only because they were weaker than him, but also because there were many opportunities within the Menglan Ruins.

Giving up one opportunity is not an option; there are still plenty of other opportunities in the Menglan Ruins, so there's no need to fight to the death with Shi Yi and the others.

Now that these people are leaving, they may be heading to their next destination.

This is also why they wanted to finish the battle quickly.

In the Menglan Ruins, time is the harvest, and the earlier the time, the more precious it is.

Once everyone has explored enough safe areas, they will slow down and prepare to leave the Menglan Ruins.

It is also important to be able to leave the Menglan Ruins safely, because you may encounter other people with ill intentions along the way.

The group worked together and soon finished collecting all the old candle flowers.

Besides the seven-flowered and nine-flowered Candleflowers suitable for them, there is also the five-flowered Candleflower.

The five-flowered spirit candle flower is already considered mature and enough to exchange for sect contribution points, but its value isn't that high, so it can't be directly used to exchange for those precious pills.

The distribution of the spiritual materials harvested from the Menglan Ruins was pre-arranged among the group, so the collection of these materials was done in a relatively tacit manner, and it was not a matter of whoever collected more would get more.

Since everyone had already made their moves, the distribution was based on the previously agreed-upon ratio. If someone made a greater contribution during the confrontation, they would receive more cultivation resources.

"We've collected enough here, let's move on to the next spot!"

Seeing that the collection of spirit candle flowers in this area was almost complete, Lin Wenze spoke up.

After a while, the formation above will automatically recover, and the spiritual energy will gather again. The immature spirit candle flowers will also grow rapidly during this period, increasing in age very quickly.

This is also an important function of the medicinal herb garden; by cultivating medicinal herbs in the garden, the effects are naturally far superior to those of ordinary places.

Otherwise, given the normal growth period of the Spirit Candle Flower, even in a place like the Menglan Ruins, its lifespan wouldn't be too long.

The Spirit Candle Flowers outside were in this situation; they were not old enough to meet Shi Yi and the others' requirements, which was one of the reasons why they did not stay outside the herb garden.

"The closest point to us is the Heavenly Origin Spirit Wood, whose spiritual essence is helpful to our cultivation and is itself an extremely precious spiritual material."

“I just glanced at those disciples from the Tianyin Sect, and they didn’t go that way. Let’s go check it out now.”

Lin Wenze continued.

He had previously paid special attention to the direction the disciples of the Tianyin Sect left in, so as to determine their next destination.

On their map were several medicinal gardens worth visiting, but the route was not fixed. After all, various unexpected events could occur in the Menglan Ruins, so they naturally had to make arrangements according to the specific circumstances.

There was another medicinal garden in the direction the Tianyin Sect left, but since they lingered in the Spirit Candle Flower medicinal garden, by the time they arrived, the Tianyin Sect disciples might have already finished harvesting.

Under these circumstances, continuing on would be a waste of their own time.

"Well, let's go!"

Ji Peipei said excitedly.

Such a discovery upon just entering the Menglan Ruins is a good start for them.

At this point, one would naturally want to continue exploring other medicinal gardens for further opportunities.

"Don't rush, take your time." "The deeper you go into the Menglan Ruins, the more dangers are hidden there."

"Even within these medicinal herb gardens, dangers may lurk."

“Some plant-based spirits are hiding among them.”

Lin Wenze reminded him earnestly.

Just now in the Spirit Candle Flower Garden, the spiritual plants there were relatively simple and there were no hidden dangers, but this is not the case in all places.

Seeing Ji Peipei's appearance, Lin Wenze gave her a special reminder.

Being too excited in a place like the Menglan Ruins is not a good state of mind.

Only by remaining calm can we go further.

"Senior Brother Lin is right, Junior Sister Ji. Just because we had a smooth time doesn't mean it will be the same in the future."

"We still need to remain calm."

Upon hearing this, Chi Daihe pulled Ji Peipei aside and said earnestly.

Since both of them were female disciples, their relationship was naturally closer.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Ji Peipei's excited expression froze, and she replied with a drooping face.

She was aware of this situation, but the good start made her happy, which is why she showed it.

"Senior Brother Lin, let's continue on our way!"

Seeing this, Shi Yi quickly said something.

At such a time, the atmosphere naturally cannot remain tense.

The group has just gotten off to a good start, and they can't afford to have any conflicts now.

"Let's go, I'll lead the way, you all stay close to me."

Lin Wenze nodded upon hearing this.

He also knew that some time was needed to ease the tension.

Getting on the road is the best option.

A group of people appeared in front of the ruins of Qianfeng Mountain.

These people had been hiding nearby, and only revealed themselves after seeing the people from the three major forces enter the Menglan Ruins, along with many independent cultivators and people from the two states' powerful families.

Compared to others, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

“You’re right, Holy Maiden. These three major powers really don’t take the other powers seriously.”

"After entering the Menglan Ruins, we allowed everyone else to go in!"

"Perfect, we can go in too."

The veiled woman looked at the girl in purple beside her and exclaimed in admiration.

It was clearly arranged beforehand.

"The imperial court, the Taiyi Dao Sect, and the Yunyin Sect are the three major powers. Why would they care about any other forces?"

"The Menglan Ruins were already in their hands."

“Every time the Menglan Ruins open, they go in to collect cultivation resources. In their eyes, it’s no different from the secret realms they control.”

The purple-clad, lifeless saintess spoke calmly at this moment.

She had extensive contact with these forces and was extremely familiar with their situation.

They are all major powers, so naturally they don't take other smaller powers seriously.

Even the Wusheng Sect was not taken seriously by the Taiyi Sect, otherwise they would not have arranged for Gu Qianqiu to take action alone, but for a master of the Immortal Realm to take action!

"Saintess Wusheng, neither of us wants Zhao Qingcang to leave the Menglan Ruins alive."

"Zhao Qingcang must be here because he wants the Earth Spirit Origin Saint Fruit to break through to the Celestial Martial Saint realm."

"Neither you nor I want the imperial court to produce another Celestial Martial Saint to guard the northern region. We can't delay any longer. We must find Zhao Qingcang and kill him in the Menglan Ruins."

"Otherwise, once Zhao Qingcang returns to Beiyuan Prefecture, it will be difficult for us to kill him!"

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked over at this moment, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.

When Zhao Qingcang was mentioned, a murderous intent surged from his body.

This man is called Blood Fiend, an elder of the Demonic Sect.

Previously, the Demonic Sect suffered a great loss in the capital, with many of its disciples dying. Arranging for this elder of the Demonic Sect to come here at this time is not only to teach the Great Zhou Dynasty a lesson, but also related to the Demonic Sect's next plans.

Zhao Qingcang, who was stationed in the north, was a major obstacle and naturally needed to be eliminated.

Since the Holy Maiden of No Birth shared the same goal as them, they agreed to cooperate.

The two major forces had cooperated before, and both were being targeted by the Great Zhou Dynasty and the sect forces, so they were in a difficult situation. Naturally, they had to join forces at this time.

"I've confirmed the location of the Earth Spirit Origin Fruit; Zhao Qingcang can't escape now!"

"After eliminating Zhao Qingcang, does Elder Blood Fiend have any other goals?"

The purple-clad, lifeless saintess spoke with a smile.

His words were full of probing.

Although the two forces are cooperating, their ultimate goals are different.

The Holy Maiden of No Life could sense that these members of the Demonic Sect had more than just Zhao Qingcang as their target; they must have other objectives as well.

However, her investigation yielded no results.

Upon seeing this Blood Fiend Elder, they naturally wanted to test him.

"The Saintess of No Life is joking. Aren't we all just focused on killing Zhao Qingcang?"

"As for killing Zhao Qingcang, we can collect some spiritual materials while we're at it, and then leave the Menglan Ruins!"

"Could it be that the Holy Maiden of No Life has other missions? Tell me about them, and I might be able to help her."

The Blood Fiend Elder wore a smile on his sinister face, but it looked more like a sneer.

At this moment, the words, though seemingly well-intentioned, were actually a test of the Wusheng Sect's intentions.

There are many opportunities within the Menglan Ruins. Although Zhao Qingcang deserves to die, if he has no other purpose, there is no need for so many people to come and assassinate him.

With so many people from the Wusheng Sect arriving at this time, their purpose must be more than one.

At this time, Blood Fiend was also testing whether the Wusheng Sect had other purposes, and whether they conflicted with what they were doing.

Although they appear to be allies at this point, if their ultimate goals clash, then there's nothing more to say.

See the real chapter under your hands.

When it's time to turn on someone and take action, he won't hold back.

Even if the woman in front of him was a delicate beauty, it wouldn't affect the speed at which he made his move.

Beauty was no different from dirt in his eyes, even if the other woman held the title of the Holy Maiden of No Life.
