Lu Xuanping knocked one away and dodged two, but the fourth giant spotted wolf remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Lu Xuanping narrowed his eyes and prepared to experiment with spiritual methods. Since physical attacks didn't work, he would naturally try spiritual methods.

Before he could use his magic, a red light ball came out of the mouth of the giant spotted wolf and sank into the fallen white wolf. The white wolf stood up instantly, shook its head to wake itself up, and grinned at Lu Xuanping again.

But the giant spotted wolf had not stopped yet. Another ball of white light was emitted and sank into the bodies of the three white wolves. The originally dim spiritual light on their bodies became bright again.

The three white wolves attacked again, but this time they stopped where they were and spit out a white arc of light from their mouths. Lu Xuanping quickly flew into the air to dodge.

Lu Xuanping dodged two of them, but the last one tore a large gash in his left arm. The piercing pain made Lu Xuanping's calf tremble, and he fell to the ground reflexively!

Seeing that things were not going well, Lu Xuanping hurriedly used the glass beads to protect himself. A bright light radiated from the glass beads and soon gathered into the shape of a giant bell that protected Lu Xuanping inside.

Lu Xuanping activated the spiritual magic of the Flame Dragon Technique and released it. A fire dragon flew out and the two white wolves were caught in it and died instantly.

However, what surprised Lu Xuanping was that the white wolf's body turned into a stream of blood and disappeared.

Then the remaining two wolves, one big and one small, were not afraid of the death of their companion, and began to attack from the front and back.

A small one attracted Lu Xuanping's attention, while a big one waited for an opportunity to attack from behind.

Lu Xuanping soon discovered that these two wolves had strong attack capabilities, but they only knew how to attack and not defend.

The defense of the glass bead began to be precarious. Lu Xuanping no longer held back. When the two wolves pounced directly, two fire dragons shot out. The same thing happened to the two wolves as before. Their bodies turned into blood and disappeared.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Lu Xuanping discovered that the wound was bleeding non-stop, with a streak of blood on his left arm. It seemed that a murderous aura was preventing the wound from healing. Less than a quarter of an hour after Lu Xuanping took a [Rejuvenation Pill], the wound stopped bleeding and healed.

These discoveries made Lu Xuanping very difficult to understand. The inability to detect with spiritual sense meant that it was easy to be ambushed. The attack was extremely strong and could even penetrate the robes of the best magic weapons. The fighting will was extremely strong and only attacked but not defended. There was no gain if there was no corpse after killing, except that the defense against spiritual magic was very average.

If they seize the opportunity, a Qi-cultivating cultivator can easily win, but if they gather together the combat power of multiple cultivators, they can definitely rival a Foundation-building cultivator.

Lu Xuanping felt that these four wolves were more like puppets than monsters. These discoveries made Lu Xuanping feel a little depressed about the next exploration.

But Lu Xuanping's mood soon improved.

"Another [Clear Leaf], this one is probably worth five hundred spirit stones."

Lu Xuanping kept scanning the spiritual herbs with his spiritual sense, and at the same time opened his spiritual eyes. The spiritual sense could detect spiritual herbs, and the spiritual eyes could detect strange demon wolves. He found that he had found three second-grade medicinal herbs and one third-grade spiritual herb within the range of 300 meters, but he had not found any first-grade spiritual herbs yet.

The total value was 1,200 Lingshi. He couldn't help but sigh. No wonder these Jindan families wanted to enter even though they knew something must have happened inside. Even if it cost them tens of thousands of Lingshi, these herbs were planted evenly and were all second-grade Lingshi, with some third-grade Lingshi occasionally seen.

But think about it, the Four Lakes Secret Realm is only opened once every hundred years. If it takes a hundred years to open it once, it would not be justified.

As an alchemist, Lu Xuanping had a relatively clear understanding of spiritual medicines. He knew the principles of spiritual medicine cultivation. A first-grade spiritual medicine would mature in about five years, while a second-grade spiritual medicine would take about twenty to fifty years to grow. As for a third-grade spiritual medicine, it would take at least a hundred years to grow.

As for the time after that, according to records, it should be at least five hundred years. As far as Lu Xuanping knows, the herbs planted in the Xiuxian world now are not the same as those planted before, but have been improved by those planting masters. The seeds of these new spiritual herbs are better adapted to the environment and have lower requirements, but they also lose some of the possibility of unlimited growth.

Take ginseng as an example. It is a herb used by both the mortal world and the immortal world. As it grows older, it can become a spiritual medicine if grown in an environment with abundant spiritual energy. If it grows to a hundred years old, its medicinal properties can be equivalent to a second-grade spiritual medicine. If it grows to a thousand years old, it can be equivalent to a third-grade spiritual medicine.

However, all the ginseng that exist now are ordinary herbs, and no one will grow them to make elixirs. The reason is naturally that after adjustments by those planting masters, the herbs that originally took a hundred years to mature now only take fifty years at most to grow, and the medicinal effects of the two herbs are the same.

Naturally, the entire cultivation world now uses newly tested medicinal herb seeds. After all, most people cannot use the unlimited growth potential of seeds.

Lu Xuanping walked on the ground for another few dozen miles and found that all the marked medicinal herb planting sites nearby had been harvested.

After parting a few branches, a pool of water appeared in front of him. The ground around him was slightly chilly. In the world of immortal cultivation, even in an environment like the ocean where extreme weather frequently occurs, it is impossible to have such an environment that changes drastically within a few dozen miles. Only the power of the earth veins can do this.

"According to the previous map, this is the Cold Water Pond." Lu Xuanping looked at the pond curiously.

The area of ​​the pond is not large, and the water is clear and transparent. Although the temperature of the water has reached the freezing point, it has not frozen yet.

There were three third-grade herbs [Cold Water Lotus] growing in the center of the pond. Lu Xuanping scanned with his spiritual sense and found three people hiding around. Lu Xuanping sneered immediately. If his spiritual sense couldn't find strange monsters, how could it not find a group of Qi training monks?

However, these monks dared to come here, probably because they had experienced some fighting.

Suddenly, Lu Xuanping found a woman in light green clothes. She discovered that this spiritual herb seemed to be familiar with the [Cold Water Lotus], so she immediately cast a spell and walked on the water to pick it.

When she was about to get close to the [Cold Water Lotus], suddenly, a white mist filled the air, the woman's calves were directly frozen, and then three ice cones shot towards her.

All I heard was a scream, which was the sound of the woman's dying voice.

The woman's body was seen floating above the water after losing the magic power. A stream of blood flew to the bushes in the east. A hook flew from the east side of the pool, hooked the woman and dragged her to the bushes, where the ambushers were hiding.

In Lu Xuanping's consciousness, they were happily rummaging through the woman's storage bag.

"This woman has gained a lot of spiritual medicine." said the scarred man

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Boss Xiang, we've caught another idiot. This guy was blinded by the third-grade spiritual medicine and his attention was focused on the spiritual medicine. I'm afraid he never thought until his death that we would use the third-grade spiritual medicine as bait. However, this guy is really rich! Boss, why don't we hide here and wait for others to take the bait!" The older man counted the medicinal herbs in his hand and said greedily.

"Hehe! That's just wishful thinking!"

"Besides, there are five of us who came in together, and two of us have died. We were lucky enough to burn those strange wolves to death before. If those strange wolves come again, we will be lucky enough to kill them once. You really think you are so capable. It is wise to stop when you are ahead after two or three harvests. It will be bad if you lose your life in prison." The scarred man directly refused and taught him a lesson.

"Wait a little while, if there's no one else around, pull out the [Cold Water Lotus] and leave here quickly. Follow what the voice said, there's a way out in the central area, let's go there."

"Yes, Boss."

Lu Xuanping discovered that the man called Boss Xiang had five bloody marks on his right hand, forming a pattern, while the two men around him had two marks each.

It seems that they have ambushed several people, otherwise there would not be so many bloody traces. Moreover, the number of spiritual herbs along the way is indeed a bit small, and they were probably picked by them.

Lu Xuanping stopped listening after hearing this and immediately took action. He first used the Breath Condensation Technique to move behind them, and then directly used the spiritual method, Eternal Frost. A large area of ​​fog appeared around the three people, and before they could react, thick frost formed on their bodies. Lu Xuanping used his spiritual consciousness to control the magic weapon and directly harvested the heads of the three people.

"Bang, bang, bang"

With the sounds of three corpses falling, nine streams of blood flew out and attached to Lu Xuanping's left hand, showing a pattern, but the pattern seemed to be only half, and it was impossible to see clearly what it was.

However, Lu Xuanping has now obtained ten blood energies and has completed the trial mission.

"bite"

Completed Secret Realm Trial 1, rewards have been issued.

"bite"

Completed Secret Realm Trial 1, rewards have been issued.

Two consecutive system prompts sounded. Lu Xuanping immediately opened the system's storage space and took out two tokens and two blood-red pill-shaped objects.

The four corners of the token are engraved with the four symbols of Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and Black Tortoise. In the middle of the front is engraved the word "Lu", and on the back are the words "Xuan Ping".

When Lu Xuanping saw the appearance of the token given by the system, he couldn't help but be very disappointed. The two tokens looked exactly the same. Even if they were really the disciple tokens of the Four Saints Palace thousands of years ago, what use would they be? The Four Saints Palace was all destroyed.
