Strikes of terrifying force blasted out. Each force was extremely terrifying, making people’s hearts race with fear, shaking forth as the seal barrier rippled continuously.
“Boom… boom…”
Each strike exploded like smoke, light radiating in all directions, fierce qi flying horizontally. But although this seal had been greatly weakened by the passage of time, when everyone attacked together, only after continuously attacking for one hour did the first crack begin to appear.
As the first crack appeared, the barrier began to crumble frantically. In a short time, cracks spread across the barrier like a spider web.
Gu Xing Nuoran’s group saw this, glanced at each other, and erupted with terrifying force, striking out directly. One blow smashed onto the barrier. This blow was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The barrier instantly collapsed with a boom, fierce qi flying in all directions.
The seal instantly shattered, fierce winds sweeping out, dispersing much of the mist filling the sky.
Everyone looked at the faintly visible palace, glanced at each other, and finally someone shot towards it first.
“Five-hundred-year-old fleeceflower root!”
“Heavens! Eight-hundred-year-old ginseng!”
“What is this? Bright red, could this be a vermilion fruit?”
“…”
As soon as everyone entered, they heard many exclamations. The cries of surprise continued, and everyone grew excited. They all forgot to rush towards the palace, instead madly digging for medicinal herbs.
Ye Chu listened to these exclamations, and brought Ye Jingyun and the others inside as well. Wherever his gaze passed, he indeed discovered many medicinal herbs. There were newly grown ones, and also hundred-year-old ones. Of course, Ye Chu also discovered some thousand-year-old medicinal herbs that had already withered.
Yang Hui saw these medicinal herbs and also started digging.
Nuoran’s group entered, and seeing the rare medicinal herbs everywhere, couldn’t help glancing at each other. “Could this ruins be some ancient sage’s medicinal garden?”
Everyone felt it was a pity, thinking that if this place had abundant spiritual energy, it could certainly grow many top-grade medicinal herbs. Even thousand-year-old medicinal herbs could grow, after all, who knew how many years this ruins had existed.
But the spiritual energy here was not abundant, insufficient to cultivate thousand-year-old medicinal herbs.
Nuoran’s group was all extremely wealthy. Although these medicinal herbs were also rare, they did not care about them, and all shot towards the palace.
Nuoran’s actions also awakened the others. They thought that if a single medicinal garden here had such precious things, then the palace might contain even more precious things.
Thinking of this, many people gave up digging medicinal herbs, each shooting towards the palace.
“Young master!” Yang Hui looked at Ye Chu, just about to ask if he was going in too, but saw Ye Chu’s gaze directed towards the side of the palace.
“What is it?” Ye Jingyun saw Ye Chu’s strange behaviour and couldn’t help asking curiously.
“The spiritual energy is abundant over there!” Ye Chu pointed at the opposite side and shouted, his figure shooting towards a location.
Ye Jingyun followed Ye Chu’s direction and looked, but couldn’t help frowning. She did not feel the spiritual energy abundance.
But despite the doubt in her heart, Ye Jingyun still quickly shot forward, speed fast as lightning, shooting towards Ye Chu’s direction. When Ye Jingyun quickly approached the direction Ye Chu pointed at, her expression changed, carrying a somewhat strange look.
That place truly had abundant spiritual energy. Only Ye Chu was very far from that place. How could he have just sensed it? Was his perception so powerful?
Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Chu shooting ahead, her heart unable to be calm. Ye Chu was becoming more and more extraordinary. From such a distance, he could sense the faint abnormality here. His primordial spirit must be terrifying.
Only, what spirit sculpting cultivation method did he practice? The Ye family’s spirit sculpting cultivation method was also considered excellent. But it seemed to be more than one level inferior to Ye Chu’s.
The two shot to that place one after another, both executing Instant Wind, extremely fast, like the howling of wind.
At the side of the palace, there was a pile of warm jade. In the centre of the warm jade was a not-large courtyard. When Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun arrived there, the courtyard was empty, only a single bamboo grew there.
This bamboo bore white flowers. White flowers danced around the bamboo, connected to the bamboo by threads of light.
“Flying Bamboo!” Ye Jingyun looked at this bamboo, revealing a delighted expression. Flying Bamboo was a strange item, incomparably precious. It could consolidate a person’s meridians, strengthen a person’s primordial spirit, and was extremely difficult to encounter. She had not expected that one was planted here.
Ye Jingyun finally understood why there was not a single thousand-year-old medicinal herb here. It was because all the spiritual energy had been absorbed by this Flying Bamboo, causing other medicinal herbs to be unable to absorb sufficient spiritual energy, and consequently withering.
Watching the Flying Bamboo absorb and release spiritual energy, each breath causing continuous ripples in the surroundings, Ye Chu clicked his tongue in amazement. This kind of breathing could compare to a Xuan Ming realm, or even Xuan Yuan realm cultivation.
Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun shot up, wanting to dig it up. But just as Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun went up, the Flying Bamboo suddenly shrank, and with flowers shooting out, it shot away to escape.
Watching this scene, Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun were even more pleasantly surprised, and couldn’t help shouting out in joy, “This Flying Bamboo has become a demon spirit!”
Ye Chu was extremely excited, and with Ye Jingyun executed Instant Wind, chasing after the Flying Bamboo.
A medicinal herb that has become a demon, its value is boundless! Back then Yang Hui was hanging by a thread between life and death, and only by relying on a demon spirit medicinal herb was her life saved. Moreover, that demon spirit medicinal herb belonged to the lowest grade.
Judging by this Flying Bamboo’s spiritual awareness and speed, it absolutely belonged to the top grade. This courtyard only grew this one plant, who knew how many years it had grown.
Ye Chu was extremely excited, his figure shooting out.
The Flying Bamboo clearly had extremely high intelligence, fleeing quickly. Moreover, each time it fled, it chose extremely tricky angles, wanting to shake off Ye Chu.
Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun quickly chased, closely following behind it. Ye Chu was somewhat grateful. If not for him having Instant Wind, today he would have been shaken off by it.
Ye Chu chased the Flying Bamboo, and some cultivators also saw this. After they were stunned for a moment, their gazes also became fervent, their figures flickering, moving to block the Flying Bamboo.
But their speed was too slow. They were easily shaken off by the Flying Bamboo.
“A Flying Bamboo that has become a demon spirit!” No one could remain calm. This was too precious, its value was boundless. Many cultivators pursued it, but none could even touch a hair of it.
This made people even more shocked and excited. With this kind of speed, it further proved its preciousness.
Ye Chu closely chased behind it, not caring about other cultivators, executing Instant Wind to the extreme, chasing towards it.
The Flying Bamboo saw it could not shake off Ye Chu, and its direction suddenly changed, crashing towards the ground.
Ye Chu had long calculated that the other party would do this. Silent Swords covered the ground. It crashed towards them, and Silent Swords wrapped around it, instantly about to cut the Flying Bamboo.
The Flying Bamboo was terrified, shooting away from the ground to dodge the Silent Swords. But at this moment Ye Chu swept his arm, force transforming into a net shape, directly netting it.
