From the city gate, moving forward, the entire journey was filled with desolate airs, occasionally stroked by bouts of breeze that carried a bleak aura.
Before long, Ling Feng and two others arrived at an abandoned medicine garden. Although the surrounding buildings had mainly turned into ruins, and the Spiritual Medicine Garden had largely become a weed garden, beneath those tall weeds, some rare spirit plants still appeared.
Ling Feng quickly entered the Medicine Garden, crouched down, gently picked up some soil, and brought it to his nostrils for a sniff. He immediately revealed a slight smile. "Thankfully, the Gathering Spirit Array here, after accumulating spiritual energy for a while, has started operating on its own. The spiritual energy in the soil is enough to cultivate Heavenly-level Spiritual Medicine!"
Pursing his lips, Ling Feng released Zi Feng out, who liked digging around, and now was the perfect opportunity for him to showcase.
Seeing the vast Spiritual Medicine Garden in front of him, Zi Feng’s eyes lit up with stars, and without second thoughts, he started his great digging endeavor.
As for Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan, they didn’t follow Zi Feng’s lead but instead chose the opposite direction to search for some appealing spirit plants.
"Earth-level, Third Grade Spiritual Medicine, Seven-star Spirit Flower!"
"Earth-level, Seventh Grade Spiritual Medicine, Sun Golden Mallow!"
Using the ability of Unlimited Vision, Ling Feng quickly found several valuable spirit plants in the dense weeds. These Spiritual Medicines, mostly extinct in the outside world, were not even stocked in Yan Cangtian’s Medicine Garden or within the Alchemy Master Guild.
Ling Feng only needed to transplant these spirit plants into his Five Elements Heavenly Palace, and within a few years, he could cultivate a vast amount of rare Spiritual Medicine!
Whether taken to auction or used for alchemy, their value was immeasurable.
Just then, Ling Feng suddenly heard an incredibly excited shout, accompanied by the rustling noise of nearly human-high weeds, suggesting someone was approaching!
"Wow! Earth-level Spiritual Medicine!"
"Oh, God, this is Heavenly-level Spiritual Medicine! Hahaha, I’ve struck it rich!"
"Mr. Feeng, Yingying, come over here and see, I’ve actually found a Blood Jade Spring Flower! This stuff can even bring dead people back to life!"
Ling Feng turned towards the sound. Because in the God Demon Battlefield, Divine Sense was greatly suppressed, it was difficult to detect remote situations, and if not for the person’s loud voice, he might not have even discovered other people’s presence in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
"Blood Jade Spring Flower!" Feeng Yan’s figure flashed and he swooped beside Huang Kai Xuan, looking at a golden glowing Spirit Flower in the weeds, grinned and said, "Fatty Huang, although your cultivation isn’t much to speak of, your talent in treasure-hunting is indeed a wonder in our Heavenly Saint Empire’s Sect World!"
"That’s natural!" Huang Kai Xuan patted his chest, then suddenly reacted, "Wait a minute, Mr. Feeng, is this a compliment or are you mocking me?"
"Of course, I’m complimenting you!" Lan Yingying pursed her lips and giggled for a while, then also quickly walked forward.
Feeng Yan, driving his Elemental Power, was preparing to seize the Blood Jade Spring Flower when a clear cry came from not far ahead!
This clear cry, naturally, came from Ling Feng!
Feeng Yan looked up ahead, slightly startled, and the next moment, a figure burst through the surrounding weeds and boldly approached the three of them.
"The Blood Jade Spring Flower should not be taken this way," Ling Feng, standing ten paces away from the group, stopped and slightly shook his head, "Although the Blood Jade Spring Flower is Heavenly-level Spiritual Medicine, it immediately withers when touched by the True Qi or Primordial Qi of a Martial Artist."
Being a healer, Ling Feng naturally could not bear to see such a Spiritual Medicine be destroyed by the ignorance of ordinary people.
"It’s not..." Fatty Huang looked at Ling Feng in astonishment, incredulous as he said, "You... how did you get in here?"
Seeing Fatty Huang’s deflated appearance, Lan Yingying couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile, "I say, Fatty Huang, didn’t you claim your Dragon Seeking Skill was the best in the world? How come it seems like someone arrived at the Emperor Extreme Sect’s ruins even earlier than us?"
"Humph..." Fatty Huang’s old face turned the color of pig liver, he gritted his teeth and said, "This... this is just an accident. Maybe this guy was just lucky, and when he was transported from the outside world, he just happened to be near these ruins!"
Before he could finish his sentence, two stunningly beautiful women rapidly approached Ling Feng.
The clear cry from Ling Feng earlier had clearly alarmed Tuoba Yan and Mu Qianxue, thinking something was amiss.
"Our... teammates have arrived!" Fatty Huang’s face grew darker and darker.
"Hey, General Ling, hahaha... we meet again!"
At this time, the three geniuses from the Canglan Sword Sect also had finally caught up, and seeing Ling Feng harvesting in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, they naturally greeted him first, to avoid provoking this feared Evil God.
This time, Fatty Huang completely lost his composure, thinking he was the first one to find the Ancient Imperial Gate ruins but as it turned out...
If there had been a crack in the ground at that moment, he would have definitely crawled into it!
When Ding Peng and his group from the Canglan Sword Sect got closer, they realized there were other geniuses from different empires, and they immediately stopped, lingering behind Ling Feng’s group, ready to run at the first sign of trouble.
"It seems we have quite a crowd here!"
Feeng Yan raised his sword brows slightly, not intending to strike down these uninvited guests, but instead looked at Ling Feng and asked indifferently, "I am Feeng Yan, from the Heavenly Saint Empire, may I know how to address you?"
"Sky White Empire, Ling Feng," Ling Feng replied calmly, meeting Feeng Yan’s gaze.
From Feeng Yan’s aura, he could sense an extremely terrifying deterrence; this man’s strength was definitely not inferior to Yaan Jinghong, perhaps even superior!
However, he was indeed older than Yaan Jinghong. In terms of talent, Jinghong was still the strongest person he had ever seen; this was beyond doubt.
"So, you are a friend from the Sky White Empire." While Ling Feng was sizing up Feeng Yan, Feeng Yan was also sizing up Ling Feng and the others.
To him, Ling Feng seemed quite ordinary, almost without any special features, and even his cultivation seemed to barely reach the level of Fifty Meridians; yet this "mediocre" man seemed unafraid of his own imposing presence, and the two extraordinary-looking women by his side seemed to implicitly regard him as their leader.
This man was no simple character!
Feeng Yan gave a faint smile and saluted Ling Feng with a fist, "Just now Brother Ling mentioned that the Blood Jade Spring Flower should not be taken with True Qi. I have never heard about this before; could Brother Ling perhaps elaborate on this to clarify my doubts?"
