Chapter 323 Quasi-Emperor Medicine Garden Stained with Holy Blood
In the Nanling Yuantian Ancient Vein, the annual Spiritual Medicine Conference finally came to an end after lasting for several days.

A large number of ancient medicinal herbs were sold, and cultivators from all major forces in the five regions of the world showed up at the conference. Even many cultivators from the ancient myriad races came, making the spiritual medicine conference even more lively.

But no matter how lively an event is, it will end one day.

Now the noise has faded, the prosperity has returned, and people from all sides have left, allowing the Yuantian Ancient Vein to regain its former tranquility.

Monkeys howled, birds chirped, beasts roared, and birds cried. The ancient Yuantian vein returned to its original appearance.

Li Zhi also followed the two young demons who had transformed into treasure-hunting rats and left the Yuantian Ancient Vein.

Less than 30 million miles away from the Yuantian Ancient Vein, the two young demons carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then opened a cave covered by a mysterious formation.

Li Zhi followed them into the cave like a ghost.

The cave is a bit simple, with no pavilions, towers, or bridges or flowing water.

It's just a simple cave dug out from the mountains.

After the two monsters returned to the cave, they picked up a spiritual fruit with a look of disappointment and started eating it.

However, the spiritual fruits they ate were rare in other places, but they ate them as cheaply as corn.

"Boss, why are there no merchants selling ancient scriptures at the Spiritual Medicine Conference? Isn't the Spiritual Medicine Conference the most lively event in Nanling?" The treasure-hunting mouse No. 2 said with a little disappointment while chewing the spiritual fruit. He even lay on a stone chair without any posture.

"Second brother, you have also seen that in the eyes of those big forces, the ancient scriptures we dream of are not valuable, and are not even worth trading. We have taken the wrong path this time." The treasure-hunting rat boss's manners were much better. He still stood straight in the cave, as if only in this way could he get rid of the shifty temperament he was born with.

"But boss, why don't you let me use the elixirs in our cave to exchange ancient scriptures with those big forces?" The second brother asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Are you stupid? Who are we? With our limited skills, if we suddenly take out a priceless medicine, isn't that courting death?" The treasure-hunting rat boss said with a look of disappointment.

"Are we just going to sit there guarding this treasure mountain without being able to use it?"

"Second Brother, I asked you to observe the monks who attended the meeting more, but it seems you didn't observe them carefully enough."

"Boss, do you have any ideas?" the second brother asked curiously.

"Second brother, do you know what those young monks who are not valued by the big forces lack the most?" asked the treasure-hunting rat boss with a smile.

"Lack of care." The second child blurted out.

"Idiot, you lack resources for cultivation. Haven't you discovered that among those ordinary disciples who follow the geniuses of the major forces, there are always a few ordinary disciples who are unwilling to give up and want to pick up leaks at the Spiritual Medicine Conference. And your boss has already locked on seventeen disciples. They are the focus of our next strategy." A glimmer of wisdom flashed in the eyes of the treasure-hunting rat boss.

There are always some people in this world who have lofty ambitions but fragile lives.

There are always some people who are very jealous but don't know their own limitations.

Those people would do almost anything to become stronger. Just as the treasure-hunting rat leader said, if you trade elixirs with them, they might sell their own ancient sage scriptures without any hesitation.

Although they may not be the scriptures they practiced themselves, they probably would not have any psychological barriers in selling those ancient scriptures that were not restricted.

Even the descendants of ancient families have times when they pass on their own imperial scriptures, let alone the cultivators from ordinary forces.

Looking at the performance of this pair of treasure-hunting rat brothers, Li Zhi, who was observing their actions secretly, felt that these two people had a bright future.

They do not think highly of themselves because of their extraordinary talents. Their cautious and step-by-step approach to doing things is enough to make them powerful demon kings who occupy a certain area in the future.

The two monsters didn't stay in the cave for more than a few days before they took out two 30,000-year-old medicinal plants and some rare spiritual fruits from the secret room and left the cave.

Li Zhi stayed in the cave and began to carefully observe the various arrangements inside the cave.

After removing the restrictions set by the two treasure-hunting rats, Li Zhi saw some ancient jars and pots.

It seems that those jars and pots were used to process medicinal materials in the past.

There was nothing worthy of Li Zhi's attention in the collections of the two treasure-hunting young men, and the two most precious small medicinal plants were taken away by them.

Li Zhi had no shortage of the remaining spiritual fruits and herbs.

However, Li Zhi took some rare varieties of spiritual fruits without hesitation.

Afterwards, Li Zhi came to the back mountain of the cave.

He saw many broken barriers on the mountain, as if the two treasure-hunting mice had collected the elixirs here.

At the same time, Li Zhi also saw many spiritual fruit trees.

After reaching the depths of the mountains, he suddenly smelled a faint mysterious medicinal fragrance, which seemed stronger than the fragrance of the ancient medicine king.

This made Li Zhi's eyes light up, as if there was still a place that had not been opened by the two treasure-hunting rats.

Opening his third eye and observing the entire mountain range, Li Zhi soon saw a powerful barrier in an inconspicuous valley that was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

However, although that barrier has the effect of simulating an environment, it is not an imperial-level barrier. For Li Zhi, it is not unbreakable.

After comprehending half of the Dao trace representing the secret of the word "zuo", Li Zhi's formation level has now reached the level of a grandmaster.

Standing in front of that simulated barrier that is almost indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.

Li Zhi began to comprehend the protective patterns within the barrier, and it took him less than half a day to unravel the barrier.

Then Li Zhi disappeared into the small valley as if passing through a curtain of water.

The sky was high, the land was vast, the mountains and rivers were vast, and Li Zhi seemed to have entered another world.

But the aura of this world is not the aura of an independent small world.

It was as if someone with great supernatural powers had used his great spatial magical power to condense this piece of mountain and river into this small valley, just like the ancient battlefield located under the Falling Eagle Cliff in the Northern Territory.

However, this area of ​​mountains and rivers is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.

Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth is several times higher than that in the outside world.

There are several medicinal gardens of varying sizes on almost every mountain.

In some medicine gardens, only one magical herb is planted.

In some medicine gardens, there are not even any magical herbs, but there is medicinal mud made from the dead magical herbs.

Li Zhi instantly understood that this was the medicine garden left behind by ancient people with great supernatural powers.

While walking in the mountains, Li Zhi did not feel the breath of a big monster, but instead felt a wide variety of spiritual insects.

Fire Vermilion Fruit, Purple Plum, Black Water Orchid, Green Spirit Grass...

The types and quantities of spiritual medicines are even no worse than those in the medicine mountain in his Hundred Herbs Map.

Li Zhi took away all the medicinal fields and the elixirs without any hesitation.

Finally, we came to a valley where fire veins and dark springs coexisted.

Li Zhi saw two magical herbs.

The medicinal fragrance he smelled outside the valley came from them.

In the hot magma pool, a golden-red magical grass is like a Vermilion Bird bathing in fire, emitting a faint hot breath all over its body.

That breath seemed to be able to ignite the blood of living beings.

Just by being close to it, I could feel the blood in my body starting to boil.

In other words, Li Zhi is already a saint, otherwise he might not be able to suppress the feeling of his blood boiling.

If an ordinary great king came here, he would probably be affected.

"What a domineering medicine king." Li Zhi had already seen that the golden-red divine grass had grown in the fire pool for at least 100,000 years. The ten golden lines on its body were enough to illustrate its domineering medicinal effect.

However, Li Zhi was unable to recognize what kind of elixir the ancient medicinal king that lived in the magma fire pool was.

Although its aura already has some of the aura of immortality elixir, it has not reached the level of semi-divine medicine.

It seems that if it wants to transform into a semi-divine medicine, it needs to go through a long period of gestation. After observing for a long time, Li Zhi came to a secluded spring separated by a mountain range.

A small blue flower grew alone in the dark spring, without any leaves growing on its bare rhizome.

It seems that the little blue flower is both a flower and a leaf.

Smelling the fragrance of the flowers, Li Zhi felt his soul palpitating slightly.

It seems that the main function of this flower is to target the cultivator's soul.

After observing for a while, Li Zhi absorbed some of the medicinal fragrance.

Then he stepped aside to study it.

A few days later, Li Zhi made a surprising discovery.

The golden-red spiritual herb in the underground fire pool seems to be able to burn the monk's blood and purify his body.

The effect of the small blue flower is somewhat similar to that of the Nether Grass, but it does not have the same disadvantages as the Nether Grass. However, the medicinal power is a bit overbearing. If ordinary cultivators use it, their souls will be damaged because they cannot withstand the overbearing impact on their souls.

At least Li Zhi's current saintly spirit is not 100% sure that it will not be affected by the power of the medicine.

However, these two spiritual medicines seemed to be planted here specifically for the purpose of growing into semi-divine medicines.

However, the gestation time is far from enough. A hundred thousand years of medicinal spirits are not enough for them to transform into semi-divine medicines.

Even if it is not a demigod medicine, it is second only to it.

After figuring out their medicinal properties, Li Zhi used his Sky-Stealing Hand to pick the two magical herbs without saying a word.

Without any surprise, after a flash of light, two magical herbs immediately appeared in Li Zhi's hands.

Then he was sealed by Li Zhi.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

Countless divine chains of order shot out from the fire pool and the dark spring, as if to lock up the divine medicine and prevent it from being taken away.

However, because Li Zhi picked the magic medicine with the Hand of Heaven Stealer, he directly avoided triggering the Order Divine Chain.

Let those divine chains of order come to nothing.

Seeing this, Li Zhi smiled and said, "The restrictions of the medicine garden in the life restricted area cannot completely stop the hand of stealing the sky. With the arrangement here, it will be like entering an empty land for me."

But before the smile on his face faded, he suddenly heard a sharp roar of beasts coming from the fire pool and the dark spring.

"Ow!"

"Chirp!"

Then, Li Zhi saw an ice dragon emitting the energy of Taiyin flying out from the dark spring. The Order Divine Chain that was supposed to lock the magic medicine immediately connected with the ice dragon, causing the ice dragon's aura to begin to surge.

And from within the fire pool, a one-foot-long fiery red bird flew out and also connected with the Divine Chain of Order that shot out from the fire pool.

Afterwards, a blood-red light curtain appeared around the valley where Li Zhi was.

The whole valley seemed to be blocked off.

Moreover, Li Zhi felt that unless he killed the two guardians formed by the divine chain of order in front of him, he would not be able to break through the blood-red light curtain outside even with the quasi-emperor divine weapon.

At the same time, the aura of the Ice Dragon and the Fire Sparrow was rapidly increasing, and soon reached the same level as his.

"Ao!" The ice dragon roared and stretched out its cold dragon claws to grab Li Zhi.

"Chirp!" The fire bird flew into the air and also used its Vermillion Bird claw to grab Li Zhi.

Li Zhi did not dare to be careless at all, and quickly took out the Immortal Phoenix Seal to protect himself, while at the same time he rushed forward with the golden stick in his hand.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

A horrific war broke out instantly.

Moreover, Li Zhi discovered that the Ice Dragon and the Fire Sparrow were immortal. No matter how Li Zhi killed them, they could be resurrected on the spot, and their aura after resurrection was once again comparable to the strength displayed by Li Zhi.

It seems that this place is engraved with mysterious Taoist patterns, which can adjust the strength of the guardian beast according to Li Zhi's cultivation level.

The battle lasted for half a day with no winner decided, while the aura of the Ice Dragon and the Fire Sparrow had already skyrocketed to a level comparable to that of a Saint King.

This made Li Zhi's face look ugly.

He couldn't even remember how many times he had smashed the ice dragon and the fire sparrow.

Of course, he had tried to shatter the Fire Pool and the Ghost Spring before, but the Divine Chain of Order emanating from them was of the Quasi-Emperor level, and he could not shatter it in a short period of time.

This made Li Zhi realize a helpless fact, that is, there is no way he could be exhausted to death here.

Li Zhi had a vague feeling that this place was not the medicine garden left behind by the quasi-emperor, but a trap.

"The divine pupil of life and death, returns to its original state."

Li Zhi opened the divine eye between his eyebrows, trying to see the truth of this place.

But the scene he saw shocked him.

Beneath the dark spring and the fire pool, bones and corpses piled up like a mountain. The mysterious laws of the Tao were extracting the essence from the corpses that had not yet been digested.

The essence of flesh and blood turned into essence that nourished the fire pool, and the essence of spirit and soul turned into essence that nourished the dark spring.

Even Li Zhi saw the remains of the Great Sage.

At the same time, he also discovered that the mysterious chain of order seemed to be connected to a strange earth vein.

It is because of that vein of earth that the ice dragon and the fire sparrow have immortality.

Because the images of a dragon and a red bird are engraved on the earth veins.

It seems that both the Ice Dragon and the Fire Sparrow evolved from those two divine forms.

After seeing the source, Li Zhi immediately became ruthless. He endured the attacks of the Ice Dragon and the Fire Sparrow and tried his best to use the pulse-stealing method recorded in the "Book of the Earth".

"puff!"

An attack comparable to that of a Saint King is not so easy to withstand.

Li Zhi immediately vomited blood.

However, the Heaven-stealing Hand and the pulse-stealing method in the Book of Earth did work after all.

Li Zhi successfully grabbed the vein from deep within the earth.

After that vein lost its connection with other veins, the breath of the Fire Sparrow and the Ice Dragon seemed to be frozen.

Then Li Zhi launched a major counterattack.

Unfortunately, the previous battle had consumed a lot of Li Zhi's energy, and his counterattack was not strong enough, so the situation became evenly matched again.

After seven days of bloody fighting, Li Zhi finally succeeded in destroying the two divine beasts.

But he was also severely injured, both physically and spiritually, these were the most serious injuries he had received since he became a saint.

Therefore, Li Zhi did not leave the blood-red barrier immediately.

Instead, he recovered from his injuries in the old place.

At the same time, he studied the mysterious earth vein that he had shrunk to one foot in length using his magical powers.
