“Boom…”

On the spot, dozens of cultivators took action, including those at the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage. Their magic techniques converged like a mighty river and tide, majestic and full of murderous intent, as they attacked the second half of the inheritance path.

However, these practices that violated the rules could not affect Chen Sheng in front at all. Xiao Jian had already taken this aspect into consideration when setting up the inheritance path.

The great formation revived, the steps were glowing, and the power of the restriction was transmitted layer by layer, until the abnormal fluctuations of the magic were annihilated.

"The restriction blocks the magic, so the power can't be transmitted at all."

The eccentric old man and others were dumbfounded. Xiao Jian's methods were extremely powerful. Their angry actions could not affect the inheritance at all. They could only watch.

"Doing these little tricks."

Chen Sheng, who was standing alone in the front, looked back and saw dozens of monks in front of him staring at him covetously but unable to move forward. They were like a row of angry wooden stakes, which was quite funny.

"clang"

He used his finger to represent a sword and with a wave of his sleeves, a stream of sword energy poured out, like a river rushing over a dam and swooping down like a dragon or snake, with overwhelming power and unstoppable force.

On the road to inheritance, one restriction after another lit up, isolating the power of the magic, but perhaps because it had been too long, it had lost some of its power, allowing the sword energy to pass through and kill directly out of the road to inheritance.

“Plop…”

The first ten people never thought that someone could pass on the magic power on the road of inheritance. It was also the power of this sword that was too sharp and made them unable to defend themselves.

Suddenly, one by one, they were injured by the sword energy, their bodies were bruised, blood was spitting out of their mouths, and their breath suddenly became weak.

"With just a casual sword, he knocked someone down through the heavy restrictions. This is too incredible. Even the elders of the Immortal Sect may not have this ability."

Fear showed on the face of the eccentric old man. Chen Sheng pierced through the restriction with his sword and killed them. Even with a layer of separation, they were still so ferocious. If they faced them head-on, the situation would be even more dangerous.

"Isn't he some hidden old guy?"

The other cultivators were also frightened. Chen Sheng's skills were not weaker than those of the immortal sect's elders. He was extremely powerful, standing on the road of inheritance, surrounded by mist and clouds, and was indescribably mysterious.

This kind of person was too terrifying. They dared not attack him again. They stood stiffly, fearing that a misunderstanding would lead to a fatal blow.

After slashing out with the sword, Chen Sheng no longer cared about what was happening behind him.

He was immersed in the pleasure of "solving problems". In one empty world after another, he communicated with Xiao Jian across the air, either to verify what he had learned or to learn more advanced knowledge.

Behind the inheritance road, he had already started refining pills in the illusion. He refined one furnace after another, breaking through one step after another, and progressed rapidly.

“It feels so good.”

Mr. Chen exclaimed with a smile.

However, the steps on the road to inheritance were not infinite, and Chen eventually reached the end.

At the end of the inheritance road, there is a teleportation array, which is now emitting a faint glow, and it is obviously activated.

As long as he steps on it, he will immediately arrive at the true location of Xiao Jian's inheritance.

"Buzz"

Chen Sheng did not hesitate. He moved his feet and stepped on the teleportation array. The sky-high brilliance submerged him. Gradually, his figure disappeared and moved to another world.

"Let's go. We have no hope."

In front of the inheritance road, all the practitioners left silently. They came in a hurry and left silently.

In this opportunity, from the very beginning, they were just foils and witnesses of others.

…

The sun creates rosy clouds and the grass and trees flourish.

This is a peaceful world, time seems to have stopped here, it is very quiet, and there are traces of nature everywhere.

Chen Sheng's figure appeared here. He breathed in through his mouth and nose, and smelled the scent of the spiritual herbs, which made his lungs feel extremely comfortable.

"Medicine garden? I wonder if there are any third-level spiritual herbs."

He followed the source of the spiritual herb's scent and saw the outline of a medicine garden in the distance. Exuberant vitality emanated from it, like a green gem.

There are many spiritual herbs planted in the medicine garden. What is surprising is that there is a third-level spiritual herb growing in the middle. It has nine leaves and half of its body is exposed underneath, like a little man.

"Nine-leaf hemp ginseng."

With the knowledge gained from Xiao Jian's villa, Chen Sheng has gained some knowledge of the field of third-level alchemy and recognized the origin of this third-level spiritual herb.

He walked forward and gently pushed aside the spiritual soil with his hands, and the medicinal body underneath was revealed little by little until it was dug out.

During the whole process, the nine-leaf ginseng did not suffer any damage, its roots were intact, and it looked excellent.

…

At the same time.

The disciples of Jiuhua Sect reported that there had been some movement in Xiao Jian's secret treasure.

"Very good……"

Jiuhua Sect Master Cao Ruosheng was overjoyed. He was an ambitious man who controlled the power of the sect. He had worked hard for two hundred years and built Jiuhua Sect into a first-class immortal cultivation sect with great power.

He has two people in the Foundation Establishment stage under his command, and five hundred disciples in the Qi Refining stage. Wherever his will goes, he can destroy mountains and cut off rivers, and no one can stop him.

Today, the development of Jiuhuamen has reached a limit.

He placed his chance of moving to the next level on Xiao Jian's secret collection, but he had been looking for this great opportunity for more than seventy years but had never been able to enter.

Today, as soon as he learned that there were unusual movements in Xiao Jian's secret realm, he was immediately overjoyed and dispatched his elite troops to surround him.

"Master, why hasn't Xiao Jian's secret treasure been revealed yet?"

The crowd waited for a stick of incense, but Xiao Jian's secret was still hidden in the void, looming like a shadow, as if separated by a layer of mist ripples. It was visible, but had never been truly revealed.

"Everyone, follow me and attack."

Cao Ruosheng's eyes narrowed and he made up his mind that Xiao Jian's secret treasure must not be lost. It was related to the future of Jiuhua Gate and must be obtained.

Moreover, the longer the night, the more dreams there are. If you stay for a long time, it will definitely attract the covetousness of outsiders. If the Immortal Sect issues an edict and seizes the opportunity, it will be extremely painful.

"yes."

Everyone in Jiuhua Gate knew about the opportunity to find Xiao Jian's secret treasure. They also had a share in it, so after receiving an order, they spared no effort and used their magic to attack Xiao Jian's secret treasure.

“Boom…”

Surging waves of magical power gathered into the sea and rivers, breaking through the hazy barriers. Xiao Jian's secret treasure shook slightly, and the hidden formation was destroyed, slowly emerging from the void.

"good."

Cao Ruosheng was overjoyed, his eyes fixed on an old man, and he said, "Grand Elder, please dispatch two hundred disciples to seal this place and don't let outsiders in. This time we will swallow up Xiao Jian's secret treasure in one gulp and ensure that Jiuhua Sect prospers for another thousand years."

This person is extremely trusted by him, has outstanding means and abilities, and is of high seniority. It is no surprise that he can subdue and command everyone and let him guard the gate.

"I must guard the gate for the master and prevent outsiders from entering."

Jin Suhuan bowed with a solemn expression. Xiao Jian's secret storage of Jiuhua Gate was related to Jiuhua Gate's fortune for thousands of years to come. He would naturally treat it with caution and try not to make any mistakes.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.

…

Jiuxiao Immortal Sect.

"Has Xiao Jian's secret treasure been revealed?"

On the top of Quming Peak, an old man looked in the direction of Jiuhua Gate, as if he saw something.

He didn't move before because the time was not right. Now that the time has come, he will naturally go down the mountain.

…

"Hmm? Don't be disturbed, just do it quickly."

Chen Sheng suddenly turned around and sensed a series of auras appearing in Xiao Jian's secret storage. They were numerous and advanced and retreated in a measured manner, not like a group of scattered soldiers.

He left this place, intending to catch all the third-level spiritual herbs before everyone else.

Subsequently, he found two more third-level spiritual herbs, but when he searched again, he could no longer find any trace of them.

“No more.”

Mr. Chen sighed.

Even in the place where Xiao Jian's inheritance was located, third-tier spiritual herbs were extremely rare. So, in such a vast border area, to find a third-tier spiritual herb would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, extremely unlikely.

He did not give up and went around again, but still got nothing, so he could only leave with regret.

Probably after two incense sticks.

The monks from Jiuhua Sect appeared in dense swarms like locusts. They looked at the lush medicine garden and smiled so hard that their mouths were about to split.

"It seems that a spiritual herb has been dug up here."

While collecting spiritual herbs, a cultivator stared at the location where the Nine-Leafed Ginseng was originally found and fell into deep thought, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Impossible, we are the first ones to come in."

The cultivator next to him directly rejected it. The sect was keeping an eye on Xiao Jian's secret treasure day and night, and would attack immediately if they found any unusual movement.

There was not a single gap in the middle, and the Great Elder was guarding the gate to stop people.

No matter how you think about it, there is no way that outsiders could exist in Xiao Jian's secret collection.

"Hurry up and collect all the spiritual herbs and seal them up."

When Cao Ruosheng saw that someone was still chattering, he shouted softly, asking his disciples to work faster and not to be lazy.

The opportunity that Xiao Jian had hidden was so astonishingly great that he felt a little uneasy, fearing that some cultivators would suddenly rush in and snatch it from them.

"Master, there are too many spiritual herbs. Xiao Jian is indeed a master of alchemy."

The second elder of Jiuhua Sect, an elder at the Foundation Establishment stage, is already quite old. At this moment, he could not contain his inner excitement, and his happiness was written all over his face.

With so many spiritual herbs, even if he sold his Jiuhua Sect, he still wouldn’t be able to get enough.

"Just didn't find any third-level spiritual herbs."

Cao Ruosheng was a little puzzled. Xiao Jian was a third-rank alchemy master. Logically speaking, no matter how precious third-rank spiritual herbs were, a man like him should have one or two of them. However, this time, there was no trace of them at all.

"Perhaps it was used up by Xiao Jian."

The second elder didn't care much. The spiritual herbs they had collected were already considerable. Although the third-level spiritual herbs were extremely rare, they might not be able to use them.

Zangkong Hall.

Chen Sheng left the medicine garden and came to a palace. After pushing open the heavy door, a scent of elixir wafted over him, making his mind unconsciously clear.

He walked in. The decoration inside the hall was simple, but not plain. There were jade objects embellishing all directions. There were not many, but they were exquisite enough.

What is worth noting is that through a thin layer of jade, you can slightly see some round objects.

“The work of a third-level alchemy master.”

Chen Sheng opened a jade gourd, and sure enough, it was filled with pills. He poured one out, recognized it as a second-level health-preserving pill, and tried to eat it.

The first feeling is that the medicinal power is pure, without a trace of worldly smell, as if it was conceived by nature.

All of a sudden, he knew that this was made by Xiao Jian himself.

"These pills are great whether you want to take them or study them. Take them all away."

Chen Sheng relied on the study of waste pills to master the art of alchemy. Naturally, he could also study the pharmacology of the pills left by Xiao Jian and understand the methods and vision of a third-level alchemy master.

Moreover, even if one does not conduct research, the pills made by a third-rank alchemy master are of superb quality and extremely precious.

He became busy in the Zangkong Palace, collected three or four objects, and turned to go to another palace to search for elixirs.

After a while.

Cao Ruosheng entered the Zangkong Palace excitedly. The spiritual herbs in the medicine garden outside gave him a boost of confidence. He knew that Xiao Jian's secret collection was full of treasures.

However, after he looked around, he was a little stunned and said, "Empty?!"

Although it was a little strange, he just thought that Zangkong Palace was just an unused palace with no artifacts or treasures left.

He quickened his pace and went to another temple, but still returned empty-handed.

This happened several times in a row.

"No, there's someone ahead!"

This time, Cao Ruosheng saw traces of objects being moved somewhere on the antique shelf. It was very faint, but still visible.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Along the way, he always felt that there was someone in front of him who had looted all the treasures.

I had originally thought it was just an over-sight, but now that I saw the traces of the object having been moved, I was immediately certain.

This can also explain why there were no results after searching several temples.

"Who is it? How did he get in?"

The second elder frowned, thinking about the unexpected appearance of Xiao Jian's secret treasure, which seemed a bit strange when he thought about it carefully.

Perhaps, Xiao Jian's secret treasure did not appear for no reason, but because someone came in first and touched something, which led to the miraculous effect.

Such a person hides too deeply and is very mysterious, which makes him extremely wary.

"Find him quickly."

Cao Ruosheng had long regarded Xiao Jian's secret collection as his own. When he thought of someone in his house moving his treasures, his heart ached.

Immediately, a group of immortal cultivators from Jiuhua Sect spread out in a crowd, searching for any traces of outsiders.

“It was another fruitful experience.”

At this time, Chen Sheng walked out of a palace with a happy expression. Just like the Zangkong Palace, the pills refined by Xiao Jian were still placed inside.

The only pity is that he has not been able to find a third-level elixir until now. However, based on the scarcity of third-level spiritual herbs, it is understandable that a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Even for Xiao Jian, third-level elixirs are precious.

Suddenly, Mr. Chen sensed another breath. He looked up and saw a group of people standing not far in front of him.

"Thief! Thief... Stop right there!"

Cao Ruosheng pointed at Chen Sheng with his finger, trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because of extreme anger.

That feeling was like seeing a thief stealing one's money, walking out in a swagger, and then being caught on the spot by the owner.

"I bumped into him anyway."

Chen Sheng's expression was very calm. He glanced at the group of practitioners from Jiuhua Sect without any major fluctuations in his emotions.

Strictly speaking, the thief is a member of the Jiuhua Sect. He was teleported here with the approval of Xiao Jian.
