What makes Luo Qingni think she will listen to her arrangements?

After thinking it over, Zhou Chun felt there was only one possibility left.

If he hadn't followed the talisman to the past at the crucial moment, Luo Qingni might have revealed that he possessed a third-tier dragon and a thousand-year-old dragon-transforming grass.

This should be a threat that could cause him considerable trouble.

Besides, Zhou Chun didn't believe that Luo Qingni would be so naive as to think she would help her based on their friendship, given that they had only met a few times.

But is he really afraid that Luo Qingni will reveal the news that he possesses a third-tier dragon and a thousand-year-old dragon-transforming grass?

I don't think so!

At worst, he can just quit the Great Zhou Kingdom!

Zhou Chun scratched his head, feeling as if he had gotten himself into a tangled mess again.

That's why they say you can never guess what's on a woman's mind!

Zhou Chun couldn't guess, so she simply stopped guessing: "Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. If I really see her again, I'll just ask her then!"

He then put the talisman into his pocket and had the Wood Spirit lead him to search for spiritual herbs and medicines along the shore of Muli Lake.

He planned to stay at Muli Lake for a few days. If the talisman given by Luo Qingni still didn't respond after a few days, he wouldn't bother waiting any longer and would go to the grasslands to wander around and see the beautiful scenery and unique monsters.

……

On the other side, Yan Qiyang and Luo Qingni rode the giant dark blue-black turtle into Muli Lake, where they encountered many aquatic monsters at the bottom of the lake.

However, the dark blue giant tortoise was a second-tier high-grade demon beast, and ordinary demon beasts dared not approach it. Even if a fearless second-tier demon beast came close, it would be killed by Yan Qiyang using a pre-prepared magic talisman.

Luo Qingni, on the other hand, was focused on controlling the dark blue-black giant tortoise to travel.

After the two had been submerged underwater for an unknown period of time, the dark blue-black giant turtle suddenly began to circle in a certain area of ​​water.

Each time it swims into the water ahead, it soon returns to the place it entered before, wasting a lot of its physical strength and magic power.

After this happened several times, without Luo Qingni's instruction, it stared at the water ahead with a look of confusion and fear, no longer daring to go in.

On the tortoise's back, Yan Qiyang showed no sign of panic, only sighing with emotion, "This [Heaven and Earth Reversal Array] truly lives up to its legendary forbidden status. Even with a detailed map, we still can't find anything unusual every time we come here. We have to bump into walls several times before we can pinpoint its location!"

Upon hearing his words, Luo Qingni calmly replied, "If it weren't for such a profound protective array, this cave dwelling located on Muli Lake would have been discovered by the 'Multi-Winged Clan' long ago. How could they have waited for us to arrive!"

"Indeed, who would have thought that on Lake Muli in the Dolan Grassland, there would be a cave dwelling built by our human ancestors!"

Yan Qiyang said with a faint smile, and then raised his hand to take out an ancient-looking jade talisman.

Looking again at Luo Qingni's hand, she noticed that a jade talisman of the same design had appeared out of nowhere.

Then the two of them poured their magic power into the jade talisman, and the talisman quickly emitted a layer of white spiritual light that enveloped them.

At this moment, Yan Qiyang was the first to leave the turtle's back, his body lurching forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from Luo Qingni's sight.

Upon seeing this, Luo Qingni also followed suit, leaving the turtle's back and disappearing from the spot.

However, the dark blue-green giant tortoise remained, and as if it had received some instructions, it lay down on the lakebed below and concealed its aura.

A moment later, Yan Qiyang and Luo Qingni arrived at a bluestone plaza.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that the Bluestone Plaza is located on an island, and there is a white protective barrier several dozen feet above the island.

Yan Qiyang and his companion stood on the bluestone square. Through the white barrier, they could vaguely see water birds flying across the distant sky, and feel the warmth of the sunlight and the movement of the wind.

But the two knew that the island shrouded by the [Heaven and Earth Reversal Formation] was actually a place where wind and rain could enter, but living beings could not!

Unless they possess the same tokens that allow them to enter and exit this place, no one else, even if they know there is an island here, can enter at all.

Unless a Nascent Soul stage cultivator personally breaks through the formation!

After standing on the bluestone plaza for a moment to adjust, Yan Qiyang spoke first: "Although we lost Fellow Daoist Mo during our last exploration, we've thoroughly understood the situation in that garden. This time, no matter the cost, we must succeed in obtaining the [Five Elements Spiritual Fruit] from that tree!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingni expressed her deep agreement, saying, "Of course! We lack nothing now except for the ability to condense our Golden Cores. A single Five Elements Spirit Fruit can increase the success rate of Golden Core formation by 30%. As long as we have one of these fruits, forming our Golden Cores will be no problem at all!"

With that, the two exchanged a smile and then walked confidently toward a stone path outside the square.

At this point, it can be seen that there are many stone-paved paths around the square leading to different places, and palaces and temples built among the mountains and rivers can be vaguely seen in the distance. Many of these buildings are also shimmering with various spiritual lights, clearly protected by powerful forbidden spells.

From the direction Yan Qiyang and Luo Qingni were heading, they could also see a cluster of palace and temple buildings.

The two walked along the stone path, passing through some gardens and courtyards.

The places they passed through all bore the marks of battle, and some were even reduced to ruins.

Clearly, they had all experienced fierce battles when they first passed through these places.

After walking through corridors and courtyards for half an hour, the two arrived at the outside of a place surrounded by high walls.

Before the two of them was a courtyard wall several dozen feet high, and above the wall was a blue barrier that led directly to the white protective shield in the sky.

After walking around to the right for a quarter of an hour, the two arrived at a gate.

Looking up, you can see the words "Hundred Fruit Garden" written on the plaque above the gate.

The two did not linger outside the door. Yan Qiyang waved his sleeve and created a gust of wind to push the door open. Then the two stepped into the door together.

As they passed through the doorway, the pleasant aromas of various fruits and flowers wafted into their nostrils.

Looking around, one can see that the garden is full of spirit fruit trees of different shapes and sizes. Some are already full of fruit, some are still in bloom, and some have even lost all their leaves.

If you look closely, you'll see that the spirit fruit trees, laden with spirit fruits, are all protected by cyan shields.

The spiritual fruits on these spiritual fruit trees are treasures that any cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage would covet.

However, Yan Qiyang and Luo Qingni did not linger on the spiritual fruits, but instead walked solemnly into the depths of the orchard.

Deep within the orchard lies a vast open space, in the center of which sits a five-colored spiritual pool, beside which grows a peculiar fruit tree over ten feet tall.

The tree's trunk and leaves were crystal clear and pure white, while three dazzlingly colorful spiritual fruits hung among the branches and leaves.

The spiritual fruit was only the size of a fist, and looked like an apple, surrounded by a colorful halo.

If a discerning cultivator were to come here and see those three spiritual fruits, they would immediately recognize them as the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, the best known aid for Core Formation in the cultivation world.

Any cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage who practices the Five Elements attribute techniques can increase their Core Formation success rate by 30% by consuming the [Five Elements Spiritual Fruit].

Even cultivators who practice Wind-based and Thunder-based techniques can increase their chances of successfully forming their core by more than 10% by consuming the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit.

What's even better is that the effects of the [Five Elements Spiritual Fruit] do not conflict with other auxiliary Core Formation spiritual items, so they can be used together!

However, these Five Elements Spiritual Fruits are extremely rare. Only a very few powerful forces with exceptionally deep foundations are able to harvest a few Five Elements Spiritual Fruits every few years.

Even within powerful forces possessing the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree, the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit is a treasure enjoyed by only a select few; even Nascent Soul stage cultivators have no right to possess it on their own.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, a rogue cultivator like Luo Qingni would have no chance of obtaining a spiritual item like the [Five Elements Spiritual Fruit], no matter how many spiritual coins she spent.

But now, on this mysterious island, an unclaimed Five Elements Spirit Fruit tree has appeared before them, with as many as three ripe Five Elements Spirit Fruits on it!

At this moment, facing the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, which was practically within reach, Yan Qiyang and Luo Qingni's feelings were definitely not as calm as their faces suggested.

The two of them glanced at the three [Five Elements Spirit Fruits] with burning eyes before moving on to the five-colored spirit pool.

Inside the Five-Colored Spirit Pool, a five-colored dragon fish about ten feet long was staring at them with its two golden eyes wide open, its eyes filled with human-like contempt.

It certainly had the right to look down on the two of them, because it was a genuine fourth-tier low-grade demon beast!

Last time, these two people and another person came to try to steal the Five Elements Spirit Fruit it was guarding, but it killed one of them and severely injured the other two, forcing them to flee.

If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't leave the Five-Colored Spirit Pool, these two wouldn't have been able to escape last time.

"That beast is so arrogant! Once we obtain the Five Elements Spirit Fruit and form our Golden Core, we will definitely return to this place to skin it and extract its core, avenging Fellow Daoist Mo!"

Yan Qiyang's eyes met those of the five-colored dragon fish, and his expression darkened as he uttered harsh words in a low voice.

He suffered a great loss last time and was almost beaten to death, so he harbors a deep hatred for the five-colored dragonfish.

"Let's settle accounts later; today, our priority is to obtain the [Five Elements Spirit Fruit]!"

As Luo Qingni spoke, she immediately reached out and patted the storage bag at her waist, taking out two enormous puppets.

Her two puppets were a blue turtle puppet in animal form and a warrior puppet in human form. Both puppets were of the third rank and of high quality, equivalent to two late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators.

"Two high-grade third-tier puppets! Fellow Daoist Luo truly lives up to his reputation as a master alchemist; his connections are indeed extensive!"

Yan Qiyang looked at Luo Qingni's two puppets and couldn't help but show envy as he spoke.

Mechanical puppets are not uncommon in the Great Zhou Kingdom; they can be bought in many markets.

However, most of the puppets available for purchase in the general market are first-tier puppets; second-tier puppets are not openly sold to the public.

Tier 3 puppets only occasionally appear at certain auctions.

These two third-tier high-grade puppets, like Luo Qingni's, are treasures that are hard to buy even at ordinary auctions.

If a typical cultivation family could obtain two such puppets, as long as they didn't provoke Golden Core cultivators, they would basically not have to worry about safety when their family lineage was interrupted.

Faced with Yan Qiyang's praise, Luo Qingni calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, don't hold back. My two puppets alone can't withstand that beast's onslaught!"

"Of course, I, Yan, cannot allow Fellow Daoist Luo to look down on me!"

Yan Qiyang smiled slightly, then took off a black bag from his waist and loosened the opening.

A foul stench suddenly filled Luo Qingni's mouth and nose, causing her to frown and shut out her sense of smell.

Then two blue-faced, fanged zombies appeared beside Yan Qiyang.

The aura emanating from these two refining corpses had also reached the third rank, but unlike Luo Qingni's puppets, which had reached the upper-grade third rank, they were at the middle-grade third rank.

"Originally, I wanted to find a high-grade third-tier corpse, but the Corpse Demon Sect of Feng Kingdom is now being suppressed by the Zhengyang Palace, and it has suffered great losses in various corpses. I tried every means to obtain only two mid-grade third-tier corpses."

"Fortunately, if we use the secret medicine to stimulate them at any cost, these two refining corpses can temporarily unleash the combat power of a high-grade third rank, so they won't be a hindrance!"

As Yan Qiyang finished speaking, he seemed to realize that he was taking advantage of Luo Qingni, so he patted his storage bag at his waist and took out a talisman.

The talisman was imprinted with an eight-sided mace pattern, gleaming with a hazy yellow light.

Then he said, "This 'Mountain-Striking Mace' talisman was crafted from the natal magic weapon of a senior cultivator in our sect who was at the late Golden Core stage. Under my activation, it can temporarily unleash power equivalent to a pseudo-magic weapon!"

"Very well, let's get started!"

Luo Qingni nodded in satisfaction, and without saying a word, took out a jade bottle and swallowed a purplish-red pill.

Yan Qiyang followed suit and took the same pill as her.

boom!

After taking the pills, the magical power of the two suddenly surged. Originally at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, their magical power was now 30% greater than normal.

Then, taking advantage of this surge in magical power, the two activated their magical artifacts and talismans.

Ow!Ow!

With two beast-like howls, Yan Qiyang's two corpse refiners, after being fed two bottles of secret medicine, experienced a surge in aura, barely reaching the upper rank of the third level.

Then, under Yan Qiyang's command, the corpse energy on their bodies condensed into armor, and they bared their fangs and claws as they pounced on the five-colored dragon fish.

At the same time, Luo Qingni's warrior puppet also took off a large silver-white bow from its back, drew the bow, and shot a silver-white beam of light at the five-colored dragon fish.

Yan Qiyang's "Mountain-Striking Mace" talisman, the ruler magic weapon he used when fighting Zhou Chun, and a giant earthen-yellow seal magic weapon were all used by him to strike the five-colored dragon fish.

Luo Qingni, on the other hand, wielded a blue wooden staff talisman, which transformed into a blue dragon and pounced on the five-colored dragon fish.

At the same time, she flicked several magic talismans in her hands, which instantly transformed into several high-grade third-tier spells that struck the five-colored dragon fish.

The two late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators truly went all out when they made their move.

Their offensive was something no cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage could withstand.

But the five-colored dragonfish was an exception.

The five-colored dragonfish opened its mouth and spat out a five-colored protective shield that enveloped the entire five-colored spirit pool.

Immediately, a five-colored wave swept out, easily engulfing the two approaching corpses and scattering and blasting away all kinds of spells and magical artifacts.

Only two talismanic treasures were able to break through the onslaught of the five-colored waves and strike the five-colored protective shield, causing it to shake violently.

However, this situation did not discourage Yan Qiyang and Luo Qingni.

While using various methods to resist the greatly weakened impact of the colorful waves, they continued their offensive against the colorful dragonfish.

The five-colored dragonfish was slightly stunned to see that the two of them were completely unharmed by its attack, and then it showed a look of anger.

It opened its mouth and spat out a five-colored beam of light compressed to the extreme, which then blasted towards Luo Qingni.

However, the tortoise puppet in front of Luo Qingni reacted instantly, its body covered in countless runes that shone brightly, transforming into a tortoise shield that shone with blue ice light and blocked the five-colored pillar of light.

This five-colored beam of light, comparable to the strike of a magic weapon from a Golden Core cultivator, failed to shatter the tortoise shield, or even leave any obvious damage.

This situation not only surprised the five-colored dragon fish, but also secretly alarmed Yan Qiyang.

However, despite his alarm, he remained calm and, taking advantage of the opportunity when the five-colored dragon fish locked onto Luo Qingni, he once again activated several magical artifacts to bombard the five-colored protective shield.

The two corpses that had been badly injured in the colorful waves earlier rushed to the colorful protective shield and began to violently strike it with their claws.

With the continuous attacks from the two talismanic treasures, even the five-colored protective shield began to show slight cracks.

Upon seeing this, Yan Qiyang exclaimed joyfully, "Hahaha, it seems we guessed right! Although this beast has advanced to the fourth rank, it is still suppressed by the formation here and cannot unleash its full strength!"

A smile appeared on Luo Qingni's face, but she remained calm and said in a deep voice, "Continue to intensify the offensive. I'll have the puppets pick the spirit fruits!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, pulling out another handful of third-grade high-quality magic talismans.

If Zhou Chun saw this, he would definitely scold the spendthrift.

Third-grade superior magic talismans are extremely precious. Not to mention the exorbitant price of one talisman, which is worth a Foundation Establishment Pill, even buying one depends on luck. You can only try your luck at an auction.

However, for Luo Qingni, a master alchemist, a third-grade high-quality magic talisman was not something difficult to obtain.

She can even get her hands on a high-grade third-tier puppet, let alone a mere magic talisman.

And so, under their relentless attacks, the colorful protective shield was quickly broken.

To prevent the Five-Colored Spirit Pool from being destroyed, the Five-Colored Dragon Fish had to expend its magic power to create another Five-Colored Wall in front of it, blocking the two's attacks.

However, once Yan Qiyang and Luo Qingni saw a glimmer of hope for success, they launched a financial offensive against it at all costs.

With the help of numerous magical talismans, the two managed to suppress the five-colored dragon fish, forcing it to focus solely on defending against various attacks.

It was under these circumstances that Luo Qingni's warrior puppet suddenly put away her longbow, grabbed a shield, and charged towards the Five Elements Spirit Fruit tree on the other side of the Five-Colored Spirit Pool.

The Five Elements Spirit Fruit tree itself was protected by a shield, so the Five-Colored Dragon Fish didn't offer it much protection.

At this moment, taking advantage of the fact that it was not paying attention to this side, the samurai puppet easily rushed to the front of the shield and then hit the shield with a special "barrier-breaking talisman".

In an instant, the protective array shield of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree was breached by the power of the "Breaking Restriction Talisman".

The warrior puppet rushed into the gap the moment it appeared, and within three breaths, it chopped down all three [Five Elements Spirit Fruits] and put them into a cloth bag.

Then, just before the gap in the shield was about to close, it threw the bag out.

At this moment, the two humans and the demon, three pairs of eyes, all looked at the bag that had flown out!
