Upon hearing this, Lu Ye was slightly surprised; he had initially thought that Nangong Xihua would propose a three-to-four distribution ratio, with him taking four and Nangong Xihua taking three.
Unexpectedly, the woman proactively suggested a two-to-five distribution.
Lu Ye nodded and said, "I have no objections."
"Alright then, let’s hurry and get to work. That dicinal aroma might attract others," Nangong Xihua also had this concern and imdiately darted toward the drug garden.
Scanning the general distribution of the seven gardens, Nangong Xihua chose two where the overall spirit dicine quality wasn’t very high and began attacking the shield of one.
Lu Ye approached another drug garden, ready to strike.
anwhile, he glanced at the spirit dicines in the garden, most were Tier Four, with a few Tier Five.
However, each garden typically contained one to two Tier Six spirit dicines which were highly conspicuous.
The barrier over the gardens was exceptionally sturdy; Lu Ye first casually unleashed a stream of Source Qi to test its strength.
It rely caused slight ripples on the surface of the barrier.
This indicated that these gardens were certainly remnants from many years ago left by so powerful force or figure.
Lu Ye began attacking continuously, gradually depleting the energy of the garden shield.
After one cup of tea’s ti, Lu Ye finally opened a sufficiently wide gap in the first garden’s shield.
Then, he started extracting the spirit dicines one by one through the gap.
Next to him, Nangong Xihua, seeing Lu Ye’s efficiency, couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
The shield strengths of these gardens were all the sa, but Lu Ye’s strength far surpassed hers.
Thus, Lu Ye was this relaxed, while she had only depleted one or two-tenths of the shield’s energy.
She had a long way to go before opening a hole in the barrier.
Soon, Lu Ye emptied the twenty-odd spirit dicines from the first garden.
Tier Five and above spirit dicines were placed in the Myriad Dao Pavilion for better preservation.
Those below this level were tossed into the Storage Ring.
After all, the Myriad Dao Pavilion’s space was limited, putting non-essential items inside would only take up space.
By the ti Lu Ye reached the third garden, on the other side, Nangong Xihua finally managed to open a small gap in the first garden.
...
Outside simultaneously.
Two figures were moving swiftly through the Naless Mountain Range under the cover of night.
"Eh, how could it disappear?"
One of them, a hooked-nose man, looked puzzled. Just now, while walking through the mountains, he seed to detect a faint, peculiar scent coming from the area...
It appeared to be the fragrance of dicine!
Just slling it made him feel comfortable, and he shuddered in excitent.
Treasure, it must be a treasure!
However, he never expected, after only half a minute of moving in this direction, the dicinal fragrance suddenly vanished, as if it had never existed.
"Brother, are you sure you slled it right? I’ve slled nothing," the man with a red face next to him said. He hadn’t caught any scent, only moving alongside the hooked-nose man.
"There’s definitely a dicinal fragrance; my nose wouldn’t mistake it," the hooked-nose man said with certainty, searching around with the advantage of the faint moonlight and the superior vision of cultivators.
Soon, a crack attracted the hooked-nose man’s attention.
"Let’s go, there’s a crack over there, let’s check it out."
The hooked-nose man led the way, swiftly arriving in front of the two-ter-wide crack.
From below, a faint whistling wind could be heard, suggesting the crack was deep.
"I think that dicinal fragrance seed to be coming from underground..." the hooked-nose man’s eyes flashed as he made this assessnt.
Hearing this, the red-faced man looked further into the deep crack below, shuddering.
"Brother, we don’t know where this leads, let’s just forget it?"
"Afraid already? If cultivators fear this and that, how can we achieve great things? Stop whining, I’ll lead the way, you just follow ."
The hooked-nose man scolded quietly, proceeding cautiously along the crack, stepping downwards.
Seeing this, although the red-faced man felt a bit helpless, he gritted his teeth and followed suit.
Fearful he might be, but he knew well; with average talent, fearing everything would hinder progress to higher realms.
Soon after, the two successfully descended, after all, they were Postnatal Realm cultivators close to Innate Realm.
They couldn’t see the potential dangers in the cave and ventured inside...
"Ah..."
"Ah!"
With two screams, the cave quickly returned to silence.
At this mont, above the crack, an elderly man with only one arm approached the vicinity of the crack.
"Why does it feel like there’s sothing attracting beneath this crack?"
A trace of contemplation flashed through the elder’s muddled eyes.
Monts later, the elder also descended...
...
As ti passed, Lu Ye had already harvested from the fifth garden.
When he arrived at the fifth garden, Lu Ye was imdiately drawn to the dicine in the very center, a Tier Seven spirit dicine.
"There’s actually a Tier Seven spirit dicine?!"
Seeing this dicine, Lu Ye’s eyes widened.
The highest-grade dicine in the previous four gardens was rely Tier Six.
Unexpectedly, this last garden held a surprise.
A Tier Seven spirit dicine would allow significant growth if divided and absorbed...
Using these dicines in alchemy could potentially produce even greater effects.
However, handling Tier Seven spirit dicines requires a Tier Seven Alchemy Master... Northern Territory doesn’t have such an Alchemy Grandmaster.
On the other side, Nangong Xihua also struggled to open the shield of the second garden.
Watching Lu Ye standing before the last garden, Nangong Xihua knew that this one contained the valley’s sole Tier Seven.
But... it was rightfully his.
After all, the key was in his possession, so Nangong Xihua’s mindset was as calm as ever.
Just as Nangong Xihua opened the second garden, a subtle disturbance arose above the valley.
Suddenly, Nangong Xihua raised her head, looking toward the sky.
When she saw a figure descending rapidly, she was taken aback.
Her earlier guess turned out to be true.
Other cultivators had indeed discovered the anomaly beneath the crack and entered through the Teleportation Array!
Moreover, the person arriving, even at a distance of several hundred ters, made Nangong Xihua feel overwhelming.
