C168 Medicinal Garden(1)

Woo Zhengyang was startled as soon as he opened his eyes!

He saw Loong Zhiwu's delicate finger resting on the part of the Array Origin Bead that Zhengyang was holding. Her eyes were closed, seemingly trying to explore the mysteries of the formation.

Feeling Zhengyang move slightly, Loong Zhiwu opened her eyes and grinned, "This little treasure of yours is quite interesting. So, can you break the formation now?"

With only about half an hour until dawn, Zhengyang didn't have time for idle chatter and quickly shared his findings.

"Let's go in!" Loong Zhiwu decided immediately.

After giving some quick instructions to the elders of the various sects, she and Zhengyang returned to the edge of the crack.

Zhengyang pointed to a spot, and Loong Zhiwu flicked a strand of energy, striking a point in mid-air.

The surrounding energy fluctuated, and the mysterious force momentarily vanished. The two quickly stepped forward.

The force resumed behind them, but they had already passed the barrier and reached the second layer.

Zhengyang continued to guide, while Loong Zhiwu used her energy to break through the obstacles. Everything was going smoothly.

Before long, they stood before the Light Door.

"Haha... You've got some skills, kid. We actually made it. Let's head in!" Loong Zhiwu exclaimed excitedly.

"Woo Zhengyang, what about them?" Woo Zhengyang pointed to the group behind them.

At this moment, the elders and sect leaders had already gathered at the edge of the rift, eagerly waiting. Some even took notes on how Loong Zhiwu and Woo Zhengyang entered, trying the same attack but to no avail. The formation constantly changed, and without Woo Zhengyang's guidance, they couldn't get in.

"Are you kidding me? With all these treasures practically waving at us, who has time to worry about them?" Loong Zhiwu said, arrogantly waving back at the group. "Elders and sect leaders, you might want to call on your supreme elders to break the formation with brute force! We're heading in first!"

"How dare you, youngsters!" Several elders and sect leaders shouted almost in unison, except for Hua Lixing.

Loong Zhiwu didn't care about them and pulled Woo Zhengyang through the Light Door.

Woo Zhengyang felt like he was going crazy. You're a martial arts master at the Shape Gathering Stage, so it's fine if you want to mess with them, but don't drag me into it!

He had already offended many people, and now they were about to anger the three major sects of the Fallen Sun Country as well. Woo Zhengyang wasn't afraid of making enemies, but this time it seemed pointless. No matter how many treasures were inside, the one who would benefit the most was definitely the greedy Loong Zhiwu.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Woo Zhengyang felt a powerful, irresistible force pulling him through the Light Door.

When they reappeared, Woo Zhengyang and Loong Zhiwu found themselves surrounded by lush greenery. There was no time for Woo Zhengyang to complain about Loong Zhiwu, as the breathtaking scenery captured his attention.

A medicinal garden!

They had landed right in the middle of an enormous medicinal garden. Countless rare and ancient herbs stretched as far as the eye could see, leaving Woo Zhengyang and Loong Zhiwu dazzled.

"We've hit the jackpot... we're rich... haha..." Loong Zhiwu exclaimed, nearly jumping with excitement.

Woo Zhengyang glanced at her and remarked, "Do you have enough containers to hold all of this?"

Her smile froze. Without the proper containers, they couldn't take much with them. Once they left the enchanted soil, the herbs would quickly lose their potency.

"Doesn't matter, we'll take as much as we can! Grab the most valuable ones... wait, let's split up and find the dragon's beard fungus and dragon's breath grass for you first!" Loong Zhiwu said, showing her loyalty by remembering Woo Zhengyang's goal.

Without hesitation, they separated to search. Although the garden was vast, the dragon's beard fungus and dragon's breath grass grew in specific conditions. Before long, Woo Zhengyang found both on a pile of dragon stones.

The ease of finding them was a pleasant surprise for Woo Zhengyang.

Afterward, the two began gathering other mystical herbs and exotic flowers until their jade boxes were completely filled. As they gazed at the abundance of herbs they couldn't carry, a sudden white light appeared on the horizon. One by one, points of light descended from above, scattering everywhere.

"The barrier has indeed been forcibly breached. These lights are the cultivators being randomly sent to various locations after stepping through the light door," Woo Zhengyang remarked.

"Let's brace ourselves for the retaliation from the three major sects!" Woo Zhengyang sighed as he watched the endless stream of lights entering.

"What are you worried about? Even if their elders come in, you've got me to back you up," Loong Zhiwu said nonchalantly, to which Woo Zhengyang could only respond with a wry smile.

At that moment, Woo Zhengyang suddenly felt the surrounding energy become more concentrated. Looking at the herbs, he noticed they were slowly withering.

"I knew forcing the barrier would disrupt the balance of this place. See... what a waste!" Loong Zhiwu noted, pursing her lips.

Woo Zhengyang felt embarrassed, thinking, "If it weren't for your actions, they wouldn't have needed to break the barrier."
