Chapter 10: Stealing the Spirit Medicine
Although the spiritual medicine was ordinary, when Lin Feng arrived at the valley, he still had a crazy desire to possess these spiritual medicines. He grew up in the Lin family since childhood, due to the oppression of the Taiyi Sect, the cultivation resources were always lacking, and the craving for spiritual medicine was never satisfied, but now this opportunity was right in front of him!
Under the powerful temptation of a large piece of spiritual medicine, Lin Feng seemed to have diluted his fear of Blood Evil. He can now put the spiritual medicine into his own Su Mei Xuan ring without worrying about being discovered by Qing Dan Men. Because it has been more than half a year since no one came here, the spiritual medicine here is no longer registered by anyone.
Lin Feng only needs to take a moderate amount, and when the people of Qingdan Gate ask about it later, he can naturally say that it was stolen by a demon beast or taken away by disciples of another sect.
Lin Feng walked along and picked them up, as long as they were not his own, he would move them into the Xuanyuan Ring. However, for each type of spiritual medicine, he only moved one or two plants at most, no more than three. Especially those high-grade spiritual medicines, generally only two were picked.
After a time, Lin Feng's Youyuan Seal had already produced more than 20 spiritual herbs. Another time later, the number of spiritual herbs grew to over 30 kinds, with a total of over 50 stalks.
More than 50 spiritual herbs, most of which are planted in the deep green area of Mount Sumeru's fantasy ring. However, some are repeated, and Lin Feng has planted all of them outside the green area so that it is easier to remember which ones he still hasn't obtained.
Every time a spiritual medicine is sent into the deep green area of Xumi Fantian, Lin Feng's divine sense will automatically associate with the immortal net. However, Lin Feng did not rush to urge any one of them, so he cut off his consciousness connection with the immortal net.
After more than 50 spiritual herbs were transplanted, Lin Feng found that he had unknowingly walked through the entire spiritual herb planting field. There were actually more vast areas in the valley, but none of them were suitable for planting spiritual herbs, so they all became a wasteland.
Lin Feng looked up at the sky, it seemed like it was still only midnight, and there was a long time before dawn. Wandering around aimlessly could only increase his sense of fear, so Lin Feng sat down cross-legged and tried to activate the spiritual medicines within the Mustard Seed Mystic Seal.
Lin Feng's divine sense stirred, and the immortal net immediately floated out. He silently recited the opening mantra of the Mount Sumeru Phantom Seal, and the stone stele as well as more than fifty spiritual grasses within the Mount Sumeru Phantom Seal also appeared in the immortal net.
Lin Feng once again recited the mysterious mantra, and the nine flowers in the immortal net began to inject a large amount of spiritual energy into the stone stele of the Xu Mi Fantian Seal. The surrounding spiritual herbs started an astonishing process of rapid growth.
However, this time Lin Feng found that the spiritual energy of the nine flowers was quickly used up, so he could only urge the Quanlong Jue to continue letting the immortal net absorb the external spiritual energy. After absorbing the spiritual energy, he started to urge the release of the spiritual medicine again.
After dozens of times in a row, Lin Feng was already sweating profusely, but the spiritual medicine in the Xū Mí Huàn Jiè didn't mature as quickly as the first time he had induced the growth of the Qing Yōu Cǎo, instead growing at varying speeds.
Next, Lin Feng experimented many times and finally discovered a doorway. It turned out that in the Xumi Fantian, the higher the level of spiritual medicine, the harder it was to ripen, and the farther away from the deep green area, the slower the spiritual medicine would ripen.
There is another phenomenon, where many elixirs mature together, the effect is not as good as maturing a single one individually. Because the more elixirs that mature, the more spiritual energy is consumed. Lin Feng currently has no way to make the Dragon Subduing Manual activate for too long. The nine flowers in the Immortal Web cannot automatically absorb external spiritual energy without the support of the Dragon Subduing Manual.
Next, Lin Feng took the Bi Luo Huan he had obtained from the Medicine Garden during the day and chose it as a special object for induction, starting to induce its maturity without rest. The Bi Luo Huan, this spiritual medicine grows in stages, and the later it is induced, the more difficult it becomes, and the more spiritual energy it consumes.
At the current rate of progress, this Bi Luo Chi will need at least three months to fully mature. Lin Feng had already calculated that in three months' time, it would be the Qing Dan Men's Lu Dan Grand Ceremony, and by then, he would have a 600-year-old fully ripe Bi Luo Chi in hand, which could also be used as capital for exchange with some of his own items.
The Quelong Jue continued to operate, refining the eight spiritual energies in the Xianwang while also catalyzing the growth of the Biliuolan. Both tasks were accomplished without delay. However, every so often, Lin Feng had to stop and rest before resuming his cultivation.
Time slipped away unnoticed, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye. As the sky was about to brighten up, Lin Feng stood up and walked towards the mountain path leading to Qingdan Gate. It seemed that his luck last night wasn't bad, at least he didn't encounter the Blood Calamity beast.
Lin Feng's lucky psychology had just risen, and a chill ran down his spine! He had a strong intuition that somewhere around him was lurking a great danger, and he was under the surveillance of this danger, and at this moment he became a prey waiting to be slaughtered!
Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, not daring to move a single step, and stood there, but his mind was racing with thoughts of how to escape. However, it seemed that there was no way out, as the opponent's strength was too overwhelming. Lin Feng could clearly feel the powerful aura emanating from him.
In just a moment, Lin Feng's clothes were already soaked with sweat, his feet had become numb, but his eyes were still tensely watching the surrounding wind and grass.
Suddenly, Lin Feng discovered from his divine sense that a certain blade of grass tens of feet away to his left rear seemed to have moved slightly, but there was no wind there, nor did any object appear.
Lin Feng instinctively felt the danger approaching, but before he could react, his body was already immobilized! Lin Feng knew that he had been restricted by someone, and the spiritual energy in his body could no longer be circulated. Something seemed to have picked him up from the ground and brought him underground, then rapidly moved forward.
Lin Feng's body was unable to move, but his consciousness was still clear. He knew that he had been brought underground using the Earth Escape Technique and was being rapidly transported to a certain location.
A moment later, Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he descended to the ground and found himself in a sealed cave! The cave had no doors or windows, it was completely closed off. Perhaps only by using Earth Escape Technique could one freely enter and exit.
Inside this cave, dozens of skulls of ferocious beasts and humans were scattered all over the place. Some of the skulls still had storage bags hanging from their waists. The bloodstains on the ground hadn't dried yet, clearly indicating that these skulls belonged to cultivators who had been killed recently.
Lin Feng was thrown to the ground with a loud "thud", and his face immediately swelled up with a big lump. At this moment, he saw a pale red shadow emerge from the air, the color of the shadow deepening until it turned into a giant blood skull over three feet tall, its ferocious appearance making one's hair stand on end.
