第二百五十七章 收刮灵药

Field Xiao Jian flicked his sleeve, recalling the ghostly mist. Segment San's figure reappeared, looking withered and zombie-like, as if he had aged several decades in an instant.

Then, he turned to dust, carried away by the wind, not only his body but also his soul was destroyed.

Lin Xuan remained expressionless on the outside, but he was genuinely alarmed. While the True Art of Profound Evil still surpassed him, Lin Xuan chuckled at the thought that Segment San had a Demon Sovereign beside him to guide him, making it easier for him than trying to practice alone with the jade cylinder.

But there was no need to unduly belittle himself; he still practiced the Nine Heavens Profound Art. In terms of secret techniques and divine powers, who was stronger remained uncertain.

After experiencing some setbacks, they naturally wouldn't waste any more time. After collecting Segment San's storage bag, they floated out of the pavilion.

Field Xiao Jian looked at the distant other residences with a sinister glint in his eyes: "Brother Lin, let us act separately from here on. As I know, apart from that Liu Elder, there are still over ten Foundation Establishment stage cultivators guarding the Mystic Medicine Valley. While our powers can handle them, if we alarm them and they gather together, it will be troublesome. It would be best to eliminate these guards without drawing attention."

"Agreed," Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, transforming into a streak of light towards the left-hand building. Field Xiao Jian's face darkened as he watched Lin Xuan's back. He then shook his head and transformed into a black beam, heading towards the right.

Soon they arrived at the front of that row of buildings. Lin Xuan condensed his light, making his presence almost undetectable, like a ghost, entering one room after another...

Ten minutes later, Lin Xuan and Field Xiao Jian met again at their parting point, both looking rather peculiar.

"Brother Lin, it seems our experiences were similar."

"Indeed," Lin Xuan nodded. "When I entered, those cultivators had already died."

"Correct. Poisoned. It was most likely done by Segment San to frame us. But this way, we can avoid a lot of trouble. Now that the Mystic Medicine Valley's guards are all gone, it will be convenient for our actions," Field Xiao Jian stroked his chin and analyzed.

"Agreed. We should act quickly before others from the Eye of Heaven Sect discover anything amiss."

The two then separately flew towards the depths of the Mystic Medicine Valley.

Soon they arrived at a small garden where the air was incredibly rich with essence qi. From Liu Elder's storage bag, Field Xiao Jian found a palm-sized badge and waved his hand, sending several spells from it towards the medicinal garden. Moments later, some strange lights flashed, followed by a series of popping sounds.

"Brother Lin, the restrictions have been temporarily shut down as intended," Field Xiao Jian said. "Just like the Cloud Sea Split Light Array, the key point is that spring. Let's go destroy it."

Lin Xuan paused in mid-air and stroked his chin before following suit.

The medicinal garden was not large, just a few hundred square meters, but it was filled with various exotic plants. Lin Xuan's gaze fell on an inch-high purple plant.

Wondrous Grass!

After all the effort, he finally found this precious herb. Even with his composure, Lin Xuan couldn't hide his excitement.

There was no need for further politeness now. From his waist, he took out a green storage bag.

Spirit Herb Bag!

As its name suggested, it was designed to store various exotic plants. Although the herbs wouldn't be as potent as when they grew in the ground, ensuring their essence qi remained intact for several months wasn't difficult.

"Brother Xiao Jian, I won't hold back."

"Go ahead, Brother," Field Xiao Jian replied, though a hint of unease flashed in his eyes.

Lin Xuan opened the bag, and a green cloud emerged.

Like a gust of wind sweeping away clouds, it swept through every corner of the garden. Soon, except for some immature herbs, everything else was collected by Lin Xuan. A satisfied smile appeared on his face; not only were these treasures worth thousands of crystal stones, but many of them were from ancient times and had long since gone extinct.

However, Lin Xuan remained merciful, leaving behind the young plants and immature herbs for Field Xiao Jian. Although the Eye of Heaven Sect suffered significant losses, it wasn't a fatal blow. In a few thousand years, those herbs would naturally mature again.

Lin Xuan wouldn't engage in draining a dried-up lake; he always left some room for future use!

"Congratulations, Brother Lin. Please assist me with destroying the spring."

"Of course," Lin Xuan patted his chest.

They arrived at the center of the medicinal garden, where the essence qi was most abundant. A clear stream appeared before them.

The water was crystal clear, and wisps of essence qi rose from it.

Though only a small bowl-sized pool, it was crucial to the Eye of Heaven's spirit veins.

By destroying it, the essence qi within a dozen miles would gradually disperse, weakening the Cloud Sea Split Light Array that relied on underground spirit veins.

With the Eye of Heaven Sect now vulnerable, both the righteous and evil forces had opportunities. However, since Lin Xuan had this information first, his chances at the Extreme Evil Cave were naturally higher.

Field Xiao Jian glanced at Lin Xuan purposefully before smiling and saying, "Brother Lin, this spring is a natural formation. While it can't be protected, it's very sturdy. My master has deep cultivation, but I am rather dull-witted, only at the late Foundation Establishment stage. With just me, it would be hard to destroy this spring. Let’s attack together."

"Agreed," Lin Xuan nodded.

Field Xiao Jian smiled and opened his mouth, expelling a black beam—his flying sword. His expression was extremely serious now as he formed various sword seals with both hands, sending out several differently colored beams.

The sword absorbed the magical energy and grew rapidly, reaching seven or eight dozen feet in length. The black light shimmered, and even more strangely, the blade trembled, emitting a faint sound like wailing ghosts. With that momentum, it seemed capable of splitting a mountain in two, let alone a mere spring.
