The Earth won't allow someone as awesome as me to exist!

Ancient tea tree, thousands of years old!

Upon hearing this, everyone, from Lin Manshu and the old blind man to the members of the Sword Sect, became excited.

The greatest allure of this secret realm is its ancient tea trees, some thousands of years old.

Qin Chuan also learned about it from Zhang Dui, but it's unclear where Zhang Dui learned it from.

This also shows that those who know about ancient tea trees that are thousands of years old are not a minority.

It turns out that the Lin family and the Jianmen came here specifically for the ancient tea tree.

But none of them expected it to go so smoothly.

Moreover, the ancient tea tree that has stood for ten thousand years is just a legend, and it may not actually exist in this secret place.

Without further hesitation, Lin Manshu and the old blind man immediately walked into the bloody aura.

Although Miejue wanted to be more cautious, if he was a step too slow and the ancient tea tree ended up in the Lin family's hands, the Sword Sect would suffer a huge loss. So he left two disciples outside and led his men into the blood energy.

The area shrouded in blood energy resembled a cave, though it wasn't very large. However, the ancient tea tree, which was only ten thousand years old, was clearly visible to everyone.

The old blind man even took out a picture of the ancient tea tree. After carefully comparing it, he was overjoyed: "Miss Lin, it really is a ten-thousand-year-old tea tree!"

"I never imagined that after so many years of traversing the martial arts world, I would have the good fortune to see an ancient tea tree that is ten thousand years old..."

He was extremely excited.

Although ancient medicinal herbs are rare on the market, they can still be bought if you really want to.

However, items of the ten-thousand-year level are not something that can be bought with money alone. Even if such items truly exist, they will not enter the market for buying and selling. Even if they were to appear, they would be beyond the reach of ordinary martial arts families.

This value has exceeded everyone's comprehension.

"Ah, is this an ancient tea tree that's ten thousand years old?"

"That's right, we've all seen the blueprints of the ancient tea tree; this is a tea tree that's ten thousand years old."

"I never imagined that such a thing actually existed in this secret realm."

"How much is this one worth?"

"It's probably worth at least tens of billions!"

"hiss……"

Many people gasped in shock upon hearing about its value.

This is just an estimate; if it were actually buried, it would be worth far more than tens of billions.

Such value has aroused some greed among many low-level martial artists. However, they also know that with their strength, it is almost impossible to snatch the ancient tea tree from a god-level expert.

"Ha ha……"

Extinction laughed maniacally: "I never imagined that there really are ancient tea trees that are ten thousand years old in this world! It is said that just one leaf from an ancient tea tree contains unparalleled energy, enough to allow a martial artist to directly advance from the first realm to the fifth realm!"

Break through from one to five!

Just one leaf?

Oh my God!

This ancient tea tree, which is thousands of years old, has at least a thousand, perhaps even tens of thousands, of leaves...

I can't imagine it, and I can't believe it.

Everyone was shocked.

"Qin Xian, is this also an illusion array?"

Even a powerful Earth Immortal like Zhang Dui was tempted by the ancient tea tree.

If Qin Chuan hadn't been there, he probably would have gone on a killing spree and then taken over the ancient tea tree.

However, before Qin Chuan could answer, a surge of blood energy emerged from the ancient tea tree.

"Um?"

The old blind man and Miejue were both taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, the bloody gas hole that had been opened slowly closed.

"Ha ha……"

A very eerie and sharp laugh echoed throughout the cave shrouded in blood energy.

The laughter sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Unbelievable! After a whole hundred years, someone has finally come!"

The blood and qi continued to gather, and within this blood and qi, flesh and bones were constantly merging together. In less than half a minute, a withered and hunched old man's body had been formed, with bloodshot eyes.

The hundreds of martial artists were all startled when they saw the old man, as if a demon had appeared in the world.

Lin Manshu trembled and involuntarily took a step back.

"Old blind man...who is this?"

The old blind man's expression was also extremely solemn, because he felt that the old man was incredibly dangerous.

You must understand, he is a powerful expert in the Divine Realm. For someone like him to feel threatened, it must be someone above the Divine Realm.

The sword in Extinction's hand had begun to tremble slightly.

The ancient tea tree, which had stood for thousands of years, eventually disappeared, turning into nothingness and vitality.

Moreover, the thousand-year-old medicinal herbs that the Lin family had just harvested all transformed into blood essence at this moment, and all converged towards the old man.

"Is it really an illusion array?"

Lin Manshu was shocked.

When they were harvesting thousand-year-old medicinal herbs before, Qin Chuan had mentioned that it was an illusion array, but at the time they didn't believe it at all.

Only now, after all the thousand-year-old medicinal herbs have turned into blood and qi, do they realize that they have been trapped in an illusion array since entering Ghost Valley.

"There are so many people, so many people..."

The old man's terrifying face revealed an excited and ferocious expression: "It wasn't in vain that I meticulously set up these traps and waited a hundred years. Finally, there are enough martial artists to resurrect me."

"What do you want to do?"

Extinction drew his sword, its aura swirling, severing some of the surrounding blood energy.

"Of course..."

The old man lowered his eyes: "They've been sucking your life force!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful suction force pulled everyone in.

Some of the more advanced martial artists had blood surging beneath every inch of their skin, with crimson blood energy emanating from each inch of their skin, like wisps of red smoke, uncontrollably drifting towards the old man.

"what……"

Screams filled the air.

"This is so awesome...this is so awesome..."

The old man shouted excitedly.

In just a few breaths, the life force of more than a dozen martial artists was completely drained, leaving only skeletons...

After absorbing the blood essence of more than a dozen people, the old man's crimson eyes brightened somewhat.

"Run!"

The remaining warriors all wanted to flee backwards, but the blood aura enveloped them, and they were unable to break through it with their strength.

"Old blind man, what should we do?" Lin Manshu's face was extremely pale, and her voice was trembling.

The old blind man was covered in cold sweat: "This old man must be an earth immortal..."

Earthly Immortal?

hiss!

Many people became even more fearful.

"So what if he's an Earth Immortal? In the end, he's just a dying man."

Extinction snorted coldly, and the sword in her hand was already drawn.

"Help me!"

The other disciples of the Sword Sect all drew their swords, unleashing all the sword energy they had cultivated over many years, which converged into a giant sword in mid-air.

With a single, devastating strike, the sword cleaved a gap between the old man with the blood-red aura and the numerous martial artists, its long-cultivated sword energy isolating the old man.

Extinction revealed a hint of arrogance:

"This is the sword energy that my Sword Sect has nurtured for many years. If you were at your peak, you might be able to break through this sword, but right now... you are far from enough!"
