Chapter 37

"Lin Xue, what happened?" Zi Chen looked at Lin Xue who was hurrying over.

"Let's go and exchange for Qi Returning Pills with me." Lin Xue pulled Zi Chen and walked towards the door.

"Why exchange for Qi Returning Pills? Aren't those things not as useful as True Qi Pills?" Zi Chen asked doubtfully.

"You don't understand. The Spiritual Herbal Garden guarded by the three sects is about to open again. There are many Spiritual Herbs inside. Many inner sect disciples want to go in, so True Qi Pills are useless." Lin Xue explained.

"The Spiritual Herbal Garden guarded by the three sects?" Zi Chen's eyes had a trace of surprise, "Could it be the Zhan Martial Ancestor and the Xuan Martial Ancestor?"

"It's those two sects. It is said that the Spiritual Herbal Garden used to be a relic, but now it is very mysterious. After so many years, the three sects still haven't completely captured this relic." Lin Xue said.

The two walked through the door, but when they saw the two long lines, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"So many people?" The two were at the end of the line.

"Is it very urgent?" Zi Chen asked doubtfully.

Lin Xue said, "Of course it is urgent. It has been a few days, and a group of disciples have already gone. The three sects have already made their move, and one of the ten disciples of Lingwu was injured."

"The ten disciples of Lingwu, the strongest ten of the inner sect disciples. It is said that they already have the strength of tenth level True Qi." Zi Chen said in surprise, "Can they also go?"

Zi Chen was a little disappointed. He originally thought that it was an opportunity, but he didn't expect that a tenth level True Qi disciple would also go. Then it would be too difficult for him, a seventh level True Qi disciple, to get any benefits.

"Anyone above seventh level and below Xiantian can go. There is no limit to the number of people."

As if she guessed Zi Chen's thoughts, Lin Xue smiled and said, "But you can rest assured that the Spiritual Herbal Garden is very large. Even if thousands of people go in, it won't be crowded."

"You broke through to seventh level True Qi?"

"Hee hee, I just broke through yesterday."

Lin Xue knew a lot and told Zi Chen everything.

The number of people slowly decreased. At noon, it was finally their turn.

"Exchange for 75 Qi-recovery Elixirs." Xue Lin took out her token.

Luo Men took the token and glanced at Zi Chen. He said disdainfully, "What? You want to try your luck too? Be careful not to die inside."

"It's none of your business whether I die or not, but I can guarantee that once you go in, you won't survive," Zi Chen replied coldly.

"Bah, that kind of man-eating place is for trash like you who have no background to go to. I have everything here, why would I want to go to my death?" The disdain in Luo Men's eyes deepened.

Zi Chen and Lin Xue took the Energy Recovery Pills and left. Luo Men did not embezzle them.

Watching the two of them leave, Luo Men said to a disciple beside him, "Go and tell Senior Brother Liu Yu that I want Zi Chen to never return."

Liu Yu, ranked second among the ten disciples of Lingwu, had the strength of True Qi Level Ten.

"Yes."

As soon as they walked out of the door, Xue Lin had already divided the Energy Recovery Pills into two portions, each with ten pills, and gave one to Zi Chen.

"I don't want it. I still have Energy Recovery Pills here," Zi Chen refused.

"Take it. It's very dangerous inside. I have more Energy Recovery Pills."

Xue Lin's insistence made Zi Chen have no choice but to accept it.

After that, Xue Lin told Zi Chen to go find her tomorrow and they would leave together. They were naturally referring to Su Mengyao.

After Xue Lin left, Zi Chen went to find Miao Kong.

"I was just about to look for you. It seems like you already know," Miao Kong said as soon as he saw him.

"Here, Energy Recovery Pills." Zi Chen took out a porcelain bottle. There were five Energy Recovery Pills in it.

"Take it. When we reach the place, someone will naturally give it to me." Miao Kong did not take the porcelain bottle. Instead, he smiled mysteriously.

Zi Chen smiled. He understood Miao Kong's meaning.

In the silver space, streaks of lightning danced. They were like electric snakes that interweaved.

The lightning youth was standing in front of Zi Chen. However, at this moment, the youth's body was not emitting the tyrannical True Meaning of Thunder. Instead, it was a fierce aura.

This aura was sharp and fierce. It was like an unsheathed sword that revealed its sharpness. In his hand was a three-foot long sword. The long sword flickered with silver light and overflowed with cold light.

"Swoosh."

The long sword in the youth's hand suddenly shook. In an instant, he and the sword had become one. He rushed towards Zi Chen with extreme speed.

First-rate Battle Skill, Flowing Light Sword!

Like flowing light, it reached its peak in an instant. When Zi Chen reacted, the long sword had already pierced his throat.

Zi Chen's consciousness dissipated in the lightning space.

"Success." In the outside world, Zi Chen opened his eyes. There was a hint of ecstasy in his eyes.

This was the final result of entering the Martial Skill Pavilion several times. His consciousness had finally memorized the Flowing Light Sword. Then, the lightning youth in the silver space used the True Meaning of the Flowing Light Sword.

The current Zi Chen had three first-rate Battle Skills: Thunderbolt Finger, Flowing Light Sword, and Ethereal Steps.

After nearly twenty days of training, with the lightning youth's help, Zi Chen's Ethereal Steps had already entered the True Meaning of the True Meaning.

Although he was only at the middle of the seventh level of the True Energy Realm, Zi Chen's true combat strength was not weaker than the ninth level of the True Energy Realm.

"The Spiritual Herbal Garden is my place of growth." Zi Chen was filled with anticipation for tomorrow's trip to the Spiritual Herbal Garden.

A stalk of Spiritual Herbal contained a lot of spiritual energy. Once absorbed, the waste would be much greater than the absorption. Therefore, most people would bring back Spiritual Herbal and exchange it for True Energy Pills. Occasionally, there would be people who had reached a bottleneck. They would also need the fierce energy of the Spiritual Herbal to break through the bottleneck.

However, Zi Chen was different. In his eyes, a stalk of Spiritual Herbal was no different from a refined True Energy Pill. His special heart could help him refine all the spiritual energy. Therefore, as long as he had enough Spiritual Herbal, in theory, Zi Chen could break through to the tenth level of the True Energy Realm or even the Xiantian Realm.

While waiting, time always passed very slowly.

Fortunately, Zi Chen could practice the Ethereal Steps in his room. His posture was ethereal and elegant. After comprehending the True Meaning, Zi Chen's speed was even faster.

Finally, a ray of white appeared on the horizon. Then, it was bright. A servant knocked on the door and brought in the morning's food. There was also a bundle. The bundle was filled with some dry rations.

Most of them were dried meat.

After a simple breakfast, Zi Chen went to the square. There were already over a hundred people gathered here.

"Zi Chen, over here."

Lin Xue's voice sounded. Under the jealous gazes of the crowd, Zi Chen came to Lin Xue and Su Mengyao's side.

Today, Lin Xue and Su Mengyao were both dressed in white. One was as pure as a lotus and the other was as beautiful as a goddess. Standing beside the two and bearing the gazes of the crowd, Zi Chen felt a lot of pressure.

Today, he was dressed in tight black clothes. He was neat and tidy. Standing beside the two beauties, he looked like a servant.

Miao Kong was also at the side. He smiled at Zi Chen.

"You must be careful in this trip to the Spiritual Herbal Garden."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Mengyao looked at Zi Chen and smiled gently. Her eyes were filled with admiration.

Su Mengyao was like a goddess in the hearts of all the inner disciples. Her every move would naturally attract the attention of others. Now that they suddenly saw their goddess smiling at Zi Chen, the crowd was in an uproar. All kinds of envious and jealous gazes were cast over.

On the high platform, a pair of cold eyes fell on Zi Chen. The chilling intent made Zi Chen shiver uncontrollably.

"Chen Feng."

Looking over, Zi Chen saw the owner of the cold eyes. It was the number one disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, Chen Feng. He was the future sect leader of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor.

"This is too stingy. I only said a few words and he wants to kill me. What a petty person." Zi Chen lowered his head and secretly despised Chen Feng. However, he was secretly pleased with himself.

The number of people in the square gradually increased. In the end, it stopped at around 605 people. These people were all above Xiantian Realm Stage Seven. After a while, the figure of the First Elder appeared in the sky.

"Everyone."

The First Elder waved his hand. The crowd quieted down. "This time, I will lead the team with your senior brother Chen Feng. Before we leave, let me tell you about the situation of the Spiritual Herbal Garden."

"That place was discovered by the three sects. Every time it is opened, it requires the cooperation of the three sects' True Energy experts. However, only True Energy experts can enter.

There are many spirit herbs in there. Those that are less than fifty years old, it is best not to pick them. Even if you bring them back, you will not be able to exchange them with contribution points and will be punished. "

"This time, besides the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, the Zhan Martial Ancestor and the Xuan Martial Ancestor will also go. In the Spiritual Herbal Garden, everyone should focus on picking spirit herbs. It is best not to fight. The Spiritual Herbal Garden will only open for half a year. After half a year, the five people who hand in the most spirit herbs will be rewarded with Xiantian pellets."

After the First Elder finished speaking, whispers could be heard coming from the crowd.

Although it was said that fighting was not allowed, there was also a reward. Zi Chen could already see the scene of many disciples killing each other in the Spiritual Herbal Garden.

"Hmph, letting him lead the team to contact the three sects now, could it be that they want to train the future sect leader?" Su Mengyao coldly snorted.

After the rules were explained, the excited crowd prepared to depart. The team left the Nimbus Martial Ancestor in a grandiose manner.

"Mengyao, Xue 'er, this time in the Spiritual Herbal Garden, you must be careful. You can forgo the spirit herbs, but your life is the most important." Not long after, Chen Feng walked over and said with concern.

"I know what to do." Su Mengyao lightly said. Lin Xue did not say a word, as if she did not see Chen Feng.

"You two go to the side, I have something to say to Mengyao and Xue 'er."

Chen Feng frowned and said with displeasure. When he arrived, all the disciples left. Only Zi Chen and Miao Kong did not know what was good for them.

"Yes, senior brother." Miao Kong slightly nodded and walked away.

Zi Chen also wanted to leave, but he did not expect to be stopped by Su Mengyao, "Zi Chen, you don't have to go. If you have something to say, just say it. Zi Chen is not an outsider."

"Not an outsider?"

Zi Chen was stunned. This sentence had two meanings. One was that Zi Chen had a good relationship with Xue 'er and was not an outsider. The other was that Su Mengyao did not treat Zi Chen as an outsider.

But no matter which meaning it was, Chen Feng could not accept it. His face darkened as he coldly stared at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was a little embarrassed and prepared to leave.

But before he could take a step, he smelled a fragrant wind and his arm was grabbed.

"Zi Chen, why are you leaving?"

Su Mengyao grabbed Zi Chen and then his arm. At the same time, she coquettishly stared at Zi Chen.
