Qin Chen took the map from Ren Feiyi’s Qiankun Bag, and after examining it carefully for a while, he quickly found their current location.
According to the indications on the map, the so-called Spirit Essence Garden seed to be in an ancient castle, not too far from where Qin Chen and his companion were.
"Let’s go check it out," Qin Chen said, feeling curious.
Mon Tianran nodded.
Following the directions indicated on the map, they soon arrived at a gigantic ancient castle that stood hundreds of feet tall.
This castle was crafted entirely from silvery-white jade bricks, appearing extrely exquisite.
The grand doors of the castle were open, and Qin Chen stepped inside with his companion.
To Qin Chen’s surprise, there was nothing inside the castle.
Apart from the essential supporting columns, the entire castle was empty, which was quite bizarre.
"There’s a strong fragrance of Spirit Essence here."
Mon Tianran spoke next to Qin Chen.
"I sll it too, but the problem is, I don’t see any Spirit Essence," Qin Chen replied.
The scent of the Spirit Essence perated the entire castle.
In fact, Qin Chen had slled it even before entering the castle.
But why could they sll the fragrance of the Spirit Essence without seeing any trace of it?
"I feel like... could it be underground?!"
Suddenly, Mon Tianran pointed to the ground beneath the castle.
After saying this, Mon Tianran crouched down and sniffed, and his eyes imdiately lit up.
"Indeed, the fragrance of Spirit Essence is emanating from beneath the ground," Mon Tianran said.
"Could the Spirit Essence Garden be under the castle?" Qin Chen frowned.
He looked around.
There seed to be no place in the castle that provided access to the underground.
"How about we try using brute force?" Mon Tianran suggested after so contemplation.
"It appears to be the only option now," Qin Chen agreed.
Imdiately, Qin Chen unleashed his Cultivation and with a fierce punch, he struck the ground.
Boom!
The entire castle trembled, and the spot where Qin Chen’s fist landed instantly cracked open.
In the next mont... Crack!
The ground collapsed entirely, and rocks tumbled down below in a noisy avalanche.
"Below, it’s hollow!" Mon Tianran’s eyes sparkled.
Not only that,
The rich fragrance of Spirit Essence now surged towards Qin Chen like a tidal wave, jolting his spirit.
Seeing this, Qin Chen hastily closed the castle’s doors.
Such a thick scent of Spirit Essence, if allowed to spread, would definitely attract others.
"It really is the Spirit Essence Garden!"
"I didn’t expect there to be a Spirit Essence Garden underneath this castle."
Qin Chen’s gaze turned downward, then he could see that in the space below, there were various types and levels of Spirit Essence.
They were laid out in rows, appearing quite spectacular.
Little Strange, who was perched on Qin Chen’s shoulder, had its Little Eye shining brightly. It drooled over so Spirit Fruit in the Spirit Essence Garden, the drool flowing directly from its mouth and dripping onto Qin Chen’s shoulder.
"Let’s go down!"
Qin Chen’s eyes glead with excitent, and both he and Mon Tianran quickly descended into the Spirit Essence Garden within the castle below.
...
Dao Xiaoyao was very frustrated.
She had just entered the Spirit Essence Garden and had completely sealed off the entrance to make it seem as if there were no ways in.
But what she hadn’t expected was...
After spending so much ti and energy sealing up the entrance to the Spirit Essence Garden without leaving any traces whatsoever, soone had the audacity to simply use brute force to create a new entrance.
How could Little Yao not feel disgruntled?
Despite all her careful calculations, she never envisioned soone would act so brazenly.
This also made her incredibly angry.
Yet, when she saw who had swooped down into the Spirit Essence Garden, her pupils shrank instantly.
"Is that you?!"
Qin Chen had just entered the Spirit Essence Garden when he sensed the presence of two martial artists.
He quickly heightened his vigilance.
However, upon seeing one of the two in the Spirit Essence Garden, he froze.
He rembered Little Yao vividly.
After all, it was because of Little Yao that he and another had been duped in the Essence Hall.
They nearly died at the hands of Zi Che Bohong and others.
So now, seeing Little Yao again, Qin Chen’s gaze took on a playful edge.
She probably never expected that they would et again.
"Little Yao, do you know these two?"
Beside Little Yao, Hua Ruoran wore a look of bewildernt.
"Uh... sort of," Little Yao answered, her face a picture of embarrassnt.
To be honest, just as Qin Chen had suspected,
she had never imagined she would run into Qin Chen again.
Rembering what happened last ti and seeing the playful look in Qin Chen’s eyes, Little Yao instantly understood he probably wouldn’t let her off easy.
"Aren’t you going to say sothing?"
Qin Chen looked at Little Yao with a smirk that made her feel rather uneasy.
After hearing his words, Little Yao’s eyes darted about, and then suddenly, she broke into a radiant smile, "Wow, what a coincidence to et you here!"
"Is that it?" Qin Chen raised an eyebrow after listening.
Little Yao’s face imdiately fell.
"Do you realize, we nearly died at the hands of those people because of you?" Qin Chen said, his eyes on Little Yao.
"Ah?"
Next to Little Yao, Hua Ruoran’s mouth hung open slightly, seemingly surprised.
"Alright, I’m sorry, I apologize to you,"
Little Yao said with a serious face.
"Just that?" Qin Chen repeated.
"Little Yao, what exactly did you do?"
Hua Ruoran frowned beside Little Yao.
With a conflicted look on her face and hearing Hua Ruoran’s question, Little Yao’s expression suddenly beca resolute, as if she had made up her mind.
"How about this? As a gesture of apology, I’ll give you two a gift. Two items. How does that sound?"
Little Yao said this with an expression of sorrow.
"Two items? What kind of items?" Qin Chen asked with a furrowed brow.
He always felt like there was a catch whenever this cunning girl spoke.
"Do you know about the Forest Demon Grave?" Little Yao started.
The Forest Demon Grave?
Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and his companion exchanged a look, their pupils widening.
The reason they had co to the Senmo Ancient City was partly because of that very Forest Demon Grave!
Was it sothing related to the Forest Demon Grave?
What exactly could it be?
Qin Chen stroked his chin, pondering.
