At night, everything is quiet.

A medicinal garden of the Cha family.

The medicine garden covers an area of ​​thousands of acres and is protected by a first-level formation. It gathers the essence of the sun and the moon and has the effect of gathering spiritual energy.

Located deep in the valley, it is divided into planting areas that are interconnected like paths.

On one side of the medicine garden is the Xu family's "Fish and Dragon Pond".

In the middle is a large area of ​​uncultivated wasteland and deep mountains, which serve as a buffer zone between the two families.

Ming Jingzi lay tiredly on her side in the wooden house.

Dan Wang Chajia summoned a group of spiritual plant masters to come and manage and tend to the medicine garden.

Although Ming Jingzi was prepared for hardships, she never expected it to be so hard! There were many kinds of spiritual plants to plant, and the precautions were intensive. Even the weeds in the field required a first-level mid-grade weed removal spell to eradicate them.

At the end of the day, it was like fighting several fierce battles.

It only exchanged for a few spirit stones, and after deducting the expenses, it can only be said to be a small profit.

Sudden,

A terrifying beast roar echoed throughout the medicine garden.

Ming Jingzi suddenly woke up and subconsciously clenched an old black iron sword that seemed to be second-hand.

"Monster?"

"Where did the monster come from in the Three Mountains?"

Ming Jingzi looked up and peered through the crack in the window.

Then, under the dim moonlight, a monster that looked like a fish and a crocodile and had thick mucus on its surface came from the deep mountains, from the direction of Lion Light Ridge.

"A first-class high-quality cuttlefish crocodile?"

When Ming Jingzi saw this, he was shocked and looked panicked.

"Enemy attack! The damn Xu family is here to launch another sneak attack!"

"Hurry, hurry, follow me to kill the enemies. Spiritual plant masters in the back, manipulate the spiritual plants and assist us!"

An angry voice was heard from the medicine garden.

Ming Jingzi saw that a male cultivator from the Cha family who was in charge of guarding the medicine garden, activated a hoe-shaped magic weapon and rushed out in an instant.

Every time the hoe-shaped magic weapon hooked or dug, a cold light flashed, and it could even turn into an iron plate to protect the body.

The cuttlefish crocodile swung its long tail and hit it, making a crisp sound like metal and stone colliding.

This male cultivator is called Cha Qianli, and he is in the late stage of Qi training. He is a direct descendant of the Cha family and is highly regarded.

A man and a demon fight each other.

Further away, a famous cultivator from the Xu family held a spiritual bamboo bow and arrow in his hand, with his magic power fully accumulated, and he would shoot a cold arrow from time to time.

Cha Qianli was unable to dodge and was hit in the arm by a cold arrow, with blood splattering everywhere.

Human figures and monsters quickly emerged from the dense forest, broke through the formation and rushed into the medicine garden.

Screams were heard immediately and limbs flew everywhere.

"You, the Cha family, dared to kill Uncle Jingyuan. What happened today is just to collect some interest in advance!"

A cold voice came.

Ming Jingzi in the wooden house in the medicine garden suddenly felt something was wrong.

He thought that he could hide in the back, quietly farming and taking care of spiritual plants, without any risk.

After all, no matter what, the Xu family and the Cha family are of the same blood and it is impossible for them to really fight.

But has the Xu family gone crazy?

You really dare to fight me?! Ming Jingzi was sweating profusely and ran out in a crouching position.

Boom!

Suddenly, amid the howling wind and sand, a giant python about four or five meters long with patterns all over its body appeared in front of the mirror.

Half of its body was standing, and the surrounding fences and houses had collapsed, dust was flying, and its bloody mouth was opened towards the bright mirror.

Ming Jingzi's breathing quickened a little, and he immediately activated the black iron sword in his hand.

In an instant, a faint golden scent filled the air.

The black iron sword turned into a sword beam and, accompanied by the cry of a crane, hit the giant python.

Sparks flew everywhere, but only a trace of white mark remained on the scales.

"not good!"

Before Ming Jingzi could react, the giant python in front of him felt pain and its demonic power exploded, with patterns on its body flashing wildly.

Ming Jingzi was instantly blown away more than ten feet away. With a muffled groan, he rolled into the spiritual field in a mess. One of his arms was broken at a strange angle, revealing a piece of white bone.

"My life is over!"

He looked closely and saw a blood vine with strange patterns all over its surface, intertwined to form a ghost face.

In order to improve the safety of the medicine garden, Cha Qianli purchased a large number of spiritual plants for martial arts, defense, and control in the market and trade fair some time ago.

Of course, it’s paid from public funds.

Among them are many spiritual plants including the Blood True Vine.

"The Blood True Vine is only a first-grade, mid-grade spiritual plant. Can it resist this monster?"

However, the situation was urgent and Ming Jingzi just threw the jar into the ground.

He suddenly opened his dry palms, and the magic power in his body was integrated into the Blood Vine as if it was free.

Swish! Whoosh! In an instant, the Blood True Vine seemed to come alive, turning scarlet, flexible and cunning, like a tentacle, sweeping up a fishy wind that directly entangled the giant python.

The giant python struggled like mad, dust flew, and the ground cracked.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

But blood flowed out of the giant python's body.

The giant python's body became shriveled and wrinkled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ghost-like patterns on the surface of the Blood Vine became more and more hideous.

"What kind of Blood True Vine is this? It's so powerful, could it have mutated?!"

Seeing the giant python die suddenly, Ming Jingzi was overjoyed and immediately took out a recovery pill and swallowed it.

Just at this moment.

The confrontation area outside the medicine garden.

A monk from the Cha family saw that Cha Qianli was in danger and seemed about to die at the hands of his enemy.

With a look of panic on his face, he suddenly remembered something and took out a gourd from his storage bag.

The gourd is smooth and moist, with an open mouth and a faint black mist wafting out.

The most peculiar thing is that the surface of this gourd is covered with burnt brown lightning patterns, exuding a faint sense of sharpness.

"It's a pity that I have only been refining this Eclipse Cloud Gourd for less than three months. The collected clouds have probably not been completely transformed into Eclipse Clouds yet. I don't know if it can fully exert its effect."

The man had a worried look on his face, and his hands kept moving. He threw the Cloud-Erosion Gourd into the air and shouted, "Duh!"

Puff!

A large cloud of eclipse gushed out from the gourd mouth, thin, dim, and shaky.

But it contained a very faint hint of purple thunder, and its crackling sound was terrifying.

The cultivator from the Xu family, who was holding a spiritual bamboo bow and arrow, saw Shi Yun's "premature" appearance, with a teasing look in his eyes, and casually took out a blue-gray first-grade superior talisman.

Suddenly, a layer of blue water curtain blocked him.

Who knew that the next moment, in this man's astonished eyes.

An electric arc suddenly exploded in the eclipse cloud.

The water curtain outside his body suddenly dimmed, a large amount of water vapor evaporated, and a tingling sensation like thunder was heard.

"ah!"

He suddenly let out a scream, most of his body was covered in smoke, he fell with his head raised, and immediately stopped moving.

The monk from the Cha family who was activating the Erosion Cloud Gourd was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with confusion.

Then he turned the Cloud-Erosion Gourd in his hand over and over again, with an expression of ecstasy on his face.

"Brother Qianli is so awesome! The spiritual plants you bought are so powerful!"

"With this thing, why worry about not being able to repel the Xu family cultivators?!"

"My fellow Taoists, follow me!"

…

A few hours later.

Cha Qianli looked at the smoke and the panic-stricken retreat of the "Xu family monks", who had no choice but to leave behind more than a dozen corpses.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

This sudden change caught the monks in the medicine garden off guard and they were defeated at the beginning.

But with the help of some spiritual plants, the counterattack was strangely successful, and the loss was not too great! Not far away, there was an Eclipse Cloud Gourd that was destroyed due to excessive activation due to fierce fighting.

The neighboring cultivators showed awe on their faces and praised Cha Qianli for his foresight and wisdom, and for purchasing a large number of spiritual plants in advance, which enabled him to repel the Xu family cultivators.

Cha Qianli did not comment. He took a few steps forward, picked up the Erosion Cloud Gourd, and looked deep in his eyes.

"I checked someone and it seems... I found something missing?"
