Through the ghostly vision of the Ghost Shadow that still lurked nearby searching for possible Ice Guards, Li Jizhou gasped.
Such power, too terrifying.
Afraid that everyone in the Hongtian squad couldn’t withstand a single blow.
However, fortunately, Li Jizhou clearly felt An Ruoxi’s aura sharply drop after this strike.
Obviously, this level of attack was sowhat excessively draining for her at the Golden Core Peak, likely unable to sustain continuous attacks.
Then he looked at the remaining Ice Guards, who seed utterly indifferent to that earth-shattering blow, continuing to charge forward fearlessly.
An Ruoxi furrowed her brows slightly: "Quickly leave, these guards, having been frozen, although they look like living people now, their seas of consciousness are long dry, with only residual magical power in their Dantian and awareness from before the ice."
The other four from Guzhu City listened and quickly ran towards the Array’s crack.
Monts later, under An Ruoxi’s protection, all five exited the Array.
And the Ice Guards chasing behind all rushed to the crack of the Array but didn’t go out, only staring at the five outside, repeating the sa words.
Seeing this, Li Jizhou smiled slightly, controlled the Ghost Shadow to gather all the aura, and quickly road within the herb garden.
"Bang~" Another basin-sized ice crystal shattered.
A Spirit dicine was revealed.
"Jade Marrow Mushroom? And already over a thousand years old!" Seeing the Spirit dicine instantly, Li Jizhou’s breath caught.
This was indeed a Tier Four Spirit dicine, and one of the main ingredients for the Nascent Soul Pill.
"Wow~" After the ice crystal shattered, the Jade Marrow Mushroom began crazily extending its age.
"Whew~" Li Jizhou exhaled, staring directly at the changes of the Jade Marrow Mushroom.
So Tier Four Spirit dicines can reach tens of thousands of years.
However, this Jade Marrow Mushroom has already surpassed a thousand years, and Li Jizhou couldn’t ascertain if it would turn to dust after having another ten thousand years added.
The reason he just chose to unseal this relatively small ice crystal was to find a sapling,
this way, the likelihood of safely passing through ten thousand years might be greater.
However, at this mont, it seems impossible to asure by size.
"Stop~ Stop!" Finally, the Jade Marrow Mushroom began to wilt its whole root under the blessing of ti, and the fruit at the top had also reached the peak of its dicinal properties.
If it were to stop now and be picked, it would be the top-grade main ingredient for refining the Nascent Soul Pill!
"Puff~" Unfortunately, seeing it reaching the pinnacle of dicinal age, it suddenly wilted completely in the next mont and ultimately turned into a heap of ashes.
Li Jizhou sighed silently, hurriedly controlling the Ghost Shadow to search again.
After just the three-hour intense battle.
Most Spirit dicines in the herb garden had been affected, ice crystals shattered all over, ashes scattered everywhere, in disarray.
"Bang~" Avoiding ice crystals that might be Ice Guards, the Ghost Shadow again ca to a foot-tall ice-sealed crystal block.
With a slight touch of magical power from his finger, the ice crystal shattered.
A sapling ca into view!
"What’s this?"
The sapling had clearly just been planted, just a sprout, temporarily beyond Li Jizhou’s comprehension.
"Wow~" Ice crystal fragnted, blessed with the force of ti, the sapling started madly growing.
Originally a tiny sprout, it burgeoned quickly.
One segnt turned into two,
budding, flowering, fruiting...
"Nine Bends Spirit Ginseng!" Suddenly, seeing the ford fruit, Li Jizhou’s eyes widened sharply!
Nine Bends Spirit Ginseng, Tier Three Longevity Fruit.
Full maturity of a Tier Three Longevity Fruit, even directly consud, offers a twenty-year lifespan increase.
If refined into Tier Three Lifespan Extension Pill.
The genuine article doubles, Top-Grade triples, Premium quadruples!
With Li Jizhou’s alchemical skill, augnted by the properties of age in refining Lifespan Extension Pill, two Top-Grade, one Premium is basically no problem.
This amounts to two hundred years of lifespan!
"Rustle~" The force of ti continued to empower, the entire Nine Bends Spirit Ginseng swayed frantically.
However, Li Jizhou at this mont was not worried at all.
Longevity Fruit types inherently absorb the force of ti, the more the better.
Monts later, the Nine Bends Spirit Ginseng cald down.
And at this mont, the entire Nine Bends Spirit Ginseng had grown from just a sapling into an ancient treasure dicine tree.
There are not just one spiritual ginseng, but three!
Three spiritual ginsengs in Li Jizhou’s hands equate to six hundred years of lifespan!
At this mont, Li Jizhou in Guzhu City is unable to remain calm.
The biggest problem now is how to take them out safely!
The Ghost Shadow Puppet cannot use a storage bag, only a wooden puppet can transplant them into the Jade Purification Bottle without a scratch and carry them away without being noticed.
--------
The wooden puppet, Master Huangshi, is currently following his teammates, slowly entering the Central Hall of the Moon Worship Dynasty.
"Copper Mountain!"
Suddenly, a shattered corpse not far away made Nie Jinghong in the front exclaim.
The group instantly beca alert, carefully examining their surroundings.
The area around Copper Mountain’s shattered corpse is in complete disarray, with rubble and broken walls scattered everywhere, clearly having undergone an intense magical battle.
"Copper Mountain’s body refining can withstand a late-stage Core Formation strike, yet he ended up shattered!"
"Who exactly is it?"
After careful observation, apart from Copper Mountain’s presence, there are two other presences on the scene, one belonging to Master Duobao.
The other presence is unfamiliar and incredibly powerful.
Li Jizhou slightly frowned, fearing the loud noise he and Master Mu heard earlier outside happened right here.
Master Duobao, being in the late stage of Core Formation, possesses several spiritual artifacts. Despite Copper Mountain’s inadequate cultivation, his body refining is impressive, and being killed so brutally, speaks volus of the perpetrator’s strength.
It is clear Master Duobao could not be their match!
"It must be those people from Guzhu City!"
"Such thods and power, only soone at Golden Core Peak or with a Spiritual Treasure could achieve!"
"Don’t be too rash! An Ruoxi should have been at the herbal garden just now!"
"Talking more doesn’t help, let’s find the captain first!"
The group discussed fervently, and finally, Nie Jinghong collected Copper Mountain’s corpse and led them to chase Master Duobao’s presence.
Li Jizhou manipulated the puppet with slight hesitation, glanced at the distant herbal garden, and after furrowing his brows slightly, still followed along.
Currently, the herbal garden guards are gathered at the array’s crack, even the puppet couldn’t enter.
Besides, An Ruoxi and five other Guzhu City disciples are still outside, waiting for the ice guardians to disappear.
"Eh~ The captain’s presence is running away? And there’s no sign of the person who killed Copper Mountain pursuing." As the group tracked with Master Duobao’s presence,
they rely entered the outskirts of the Central Palace before heading east again.
"How could he leave the Central Palace given his temperant?"
"He must have sensed great horror!"
The group deeply glanced inside the Central Palace, forcibly suppressing their inner greed, and ultimately chased out again following Master Duobao’s presence.
-------
"Junior Martial Uncle An, Master Liu Huo’s soul tablet is shattered!" Among the five people waiting outside the herbal garden, Master Shuimo was suddenly surprised and urgently took out a shattered soul tablet from the storage bag!
Master Shuimo is ticulous in thought and steady in action, a manager-level figure in Guzhu City’s treasure-seeking team.
He controls all the soul tablets of Guzhu City’s treasure-seeking team mbers.
"Master Liu Huo..." An Ruoxi fiercely changed color, took the soul tablet, eyes filled with disbelief.
"Who could kill Master Liu Huo? Master Liu Huo has already stepped into late-stage Golden Core and possesses a First-Grade Spiritual Treasure bestowed by the master..." The others were equally shocked.
Before An Ruoxi joined them, Master Liu Huo was the primary combat power.
Though his talent wasn’t as high as An Ruoxi’s, he possesses a Fire Elent Celestial Spirit Root, with extraordinary comprehension, beloved by Nie Qingyuan of Guzhu City.
Nie Qingyuan sees him as a source to fulfill his regrets.
He even gifted Liu Huo the First-Grade Spiritual Treasure bestowed from Guzhu True Monarch.
"Xiaoyun, stay here, if anyone else cos, tell them this place is already claid by , An Ruoxi, and they should not approach!" An Ruoxi pondered for a mont, her voice cold.
She is determined to acquire the herbal garden, intending to seize it at the first opportunity upon entering.
Compared to the Guanghan Seal and Guanghan Skill beneath the Central Palace, this place holds a higher priority.
Inside lies her opportunity for Nascent Soul transformation, even her supre celestial chance for ascension!
And beneath the Central Palace, the Guanghan Seal and Guanghan Skill, whether early or later, doesn’t matter because, except for her, no one else can take it!
"Rest assured, Master. Just heard from Master Shuimo, only Hongtian’s team entered, with no one else, I believe Hongtian’s team knows their limits!" An Ruoxi’s disciple nodded in agreent.
"Hmm!" After speaking, An Ruoxi and Master Shuimo led the four towards the soul tablet’s sensed direction.
Upon witnessing this through the Ghost Shadow, Li Jizhou felt instant joy.
