The second property of valuable plants is the ability to heal wounds and maintain life. The best plants with this property can regenerate lost limbs and bring back someone from near death.
The third property is the ability to increase lifespan. This is the most valuable property sought after. A plant with this property will not only allow someone to live longer, it will also give cultivators at the second mortal coil more time to break through.
Every one of these three properties is valuable. Any plant that possesses one of them will be highly sought after.
But these plants could be anywhere in the secret realm. It makes them very difficult to find.
So rather than look for the plants, it is better to look for powerful beasts. Those powerful beasts would have found the precious plants after decades of this secret realm being sealed. All the harvesters need to do is take the precious flower from them.
This is a plan that is not difficult to come up with. But not many people will try it because they will require the strength to defeat the beasts protecting the plants.
The plan is not easy to execute at all. After all, if the plant is so precious, the beast guarding it would have gotten a lot of benefits from it and would be very powerful.
But Arthur and Thor are somewhat confident in themselves. Thor is also looking forward to fighting powerful beasts, so he agreed quickly with Arthur and brought out a scanner to find the powerful beasts in the secret realm.
Arthur could also find powerful beasts and creatures by using some spells, but he allowed Thor to use the scanner since it meant that he wouldn't have to spend his internal energy so early.
The scanner was a rectangular plate with a white surface. It only shows red dots on its white surface. The bigger the red dot, the more life force and energy that an entity possesses.
As long as they move in the direction of the dot, they will find the target with the high life force and energy. It is just that the target could be an object like an energy mine or plant.
Either way, anything that contains a lot of energy is likely to be very valuable. So they picked the closest large red dot to them and went in its direction.
On their way there, Thor said in amazement, "Don't you think the concentration of mana in this place is so high?"
Arthur nodded in agreement. "It is high. This kind of concentration is something I have only seen in the superior accommodations."
Thor turned away from the scanner and looked at him in shock. "So you're always enjoying this kind of mana concentration?"
Arthur shrugged and asked, "What do you care? You didn't care for the mana concentration before. You didn't want to participate in the performance test. You didn't even want to cultivate. You wouldn't have reached your current level if you hadn't been forced."
Thor spoke with an aggrieved tone, "All of that was before, when I couldn't sense mana and was busy with my many projects. If I had this kind of mana concentration now, I would cultivate every day."
Arthur encouraged him, "It is not too late. You can get a superior accommodation when we return to the sect. With your golem, it is certain that you will be able to break a record."
Thor nodded and refocused on the scanner. The two of them chatted along the way.
On their way, an elder passed above them. From the uniform of the elder, the two of them were able to identify them as an elder of the Black Bones sect.
The Black Bones sect is one of their competitors for this competition. But they weren't afraid to encounter an elder because elders aren't allowed to attack the disciples.
The intersect competition is between the disciples. Elders can fight among themselves, but they can't involve disciples.
This isn't a rule meant to protect just the disciples of the Blood Skull sect. It is to protect everyone.
This is why they continued to walk confidently on their way to the target. But before they reached their target, they encountered many enemies. These enemies are beasts of various kinds.
The invasion of more than 7,000 people has turned the secret realm upside down. This has made the beast agitated, and they are attacking the strange creatures that suddenly appeared in their territory.
The secret realm is as big as a city large enough for a million people to live in. This might seem too big for 7,000 people. But it is not so when those people can move at speeds of 220 meters per second and can hit with 11 tons of force while standing still.
This is just the power of normal cultivators at the peak of the second mortal coil. For the special few who could produce power beyond this, this whole secret realm might as well be their backyard.
Arthur in particular has a power of 200 units despite being at the fourth transformation of the second mortal coil. When compared to the power output of 110 that cultivators at the peak of the second mortal coil can produce, it is clear that he is twice as powerful as anyone in the second mortal coil.
This is his power in his normal state. He doesn't need to use the divine armament to achieve this kind of power, which is why he didn't take the beasts they encountered seriously.
He cleared the way for both of them while the secret realm became full of the roar of beasts. Whatever carriage they got was put in a carriage for Roar to pull. This was to attract more beasts to attack them.
Everything that Arthur killed was shared evenly between him and Thor. Even though he was doing all the work, he needed Thor to help him fight the beasts at the third mortal coil that they would encounter.
