第三千九百四十七章 神秘灵果

However, while it was described as a moment of daze, the actual time elapsed was extremely short. Lin Xuan's character wouldn't really stand there dumbfounded; he just couldn’t act rashly due to the uncertain situation at hand.

In a brief moment, the Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword had already darted out like a fish in water, but its sharpness remained hidden. The ripples on the small lake ahead were intense.

Then, in the center of the lake, a large snake appeared.

No, it wasn’t a snake; calling it a scorpion would be more fitting. Its tail didn't have backward-pointing spines; instead, it had transformed into the shape of an Eastern cobra.

It looked extremely fierce and intimidating, making one feel that it was hard to provoke. In fact, it seemed even more terrifying than the giant that had just intimidated Lin Xuan.

"Judging from this guy's appearance, he must be a true fairy guarding the medicinal fields."

Lin Xuan’s mind had an epiphany, but his expression turned bitter. Where was Moon? Was he about to fight again for no reason?

Although he wasn’t afraid, it still felt troublesome.

Moreover, if he lingered here too long, would something happen to Moon in her location?

But leaving now seemed a waste of the precious medicinal herbs that were so close at hand.

Lin Xuan found himself indecisive, caught between advancing and retreating.

"Hiss…"

The monster didn’t care about all this. It raised its head, exposing its core, and lunged towards Lin Xuan with great ferocity. Lin Xuan’s brows furrowed; he couldn't afford to be picky at such a critical moment. He stretched out his right hand and grasped the Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword in his palm, ready to strike forward. However, just as he was about to swing it, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The monster paused mid-air without any warning, its eyes filled with confusion. After glancing at Lin Xuan, it inexplicably retreated, nodding and bowing before returning to the lake water.

"Wha—"

Lin Xuan stared in disbelief, rubbing his eyes hard, wondering if he had just imagined it. But that thought flashed through his mind only briefly.

At such a high level of power, hallucinations due to eye strain were almost inconceivable. Although Lin Xuan didn’t understand why the monster retreated at this critical moment, such an opportunity was too good to pass up. He wouldn't waste time overthinking; as the saying goes, "a long night breeds many dreams." He would first secure these medicinal herbs and then decide what to do.

With that thought in mind, Lin Xuan swung his sword forward, not at the small lake but towards the light screen before him.

Sizzle…

A green sword energy shot out, creating ripples on the screen. A crack appeared in the vision.

The crack was about a foot long but quickly closed. The restrictions set by the true fairy were indeed formidable; they could even self-repair.

Lin Xuan’s expression showed admiration. He then stretched his right hand forward.

His fingers flickered with Illusory Heavenly Fire as he reached out, though he couldn’t summon the laws of nature here. His physical strength was still formidable, complementing the spirit fire technique to create a synergistic effect. The screen had already shown a flaw; this claw could not be mended. It shattered like a candle in the wind with a "puff."

"Phew!"

Lin Xuan exhaled in relief, his face showing great joy. Although the monster inexplicably retreated, he still faced more risks during that encounter.

Lin Xuan didn’t want any distractions; he wanted to quickly take the medicinal herbs and leave this place.

Looking around, the medicinal garden was smaller than expected, covering only a few dozen feet in diameter but filled with fragrant aromas. The medicinal herbs were no taller than several feet, while their fruits were tempting.

At first glance, they resembled grapes from the mortal world, but each fruit had a colorful appearance and seemed to emit divine light.

Even with his extensive knowledge, Lin Xuan couldn’t identify what these fruits were.

They must be fairy treasures; their value was beyond question.

Lin Xuan’s face showed joy as he immediately whipped out a storage bracelet made from ten-thousand-year-old jade, carefully picking the fruits and placing them in an jade box.

"Why didn't that monster attack me?"

Before leaving, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but look back at the small lake, still without any clue. He didn’t dwell on it further and left with a cloud of light.

On the other hand, Prince Tianyuan was not as lucky.

He had also found a treasure, but when he tried to take it, he encountered a guarding monkey spirit.

Correctly speaking, it was a spiritual beast!

It resembled a monkey in form, but its abilities were formidable. If placed elsewhere, Tianyuan might have been able to defeat it, but within this small fairy domain,

He couldn’t summon the laws of nature, and his realm couldn't be deployed either. His full power was effectively halved.

Thus, he couldn’t even defeat the monkey spirit; instead, he took a few punches from it, leaving him disheveled as he fled.

Prince Tianyuan’s mood wasn’t mentioned.

Returning to Lin Xuan, after days of searching, he still had no收获. Unlike Tianyuan, who had a true fairy guiding him, Lin Xuan couldn’t have imagined that the place where he was now wasn't a cave but the small fairy domain created by Feiyu Zhenren.

Although vast, it could not be compared to many minor interfaces in the spirit realm and would take more than just a few days to explore.

Moreover, Lin Xuan had no idea where Moon or Little Butterfly were, nor did they know he was here. The two girls wouldn’t stay put.

Finding them became even harder.

If his divine sense wasn't affected, it might have been easier, but being suppressed to the point of barely differing from an infant cultivator made finding their whereabouts akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.

With Lin Xuan’s sharp mind, he still couldn’t come up with a solution.

What should he do?

Lin Xuan frowned and pondered, but without any breakthroughs, he could only continue his search.

As the saying goes, "where there's a will, there's a way." The difficulties before him were nothing compared to their reunion after ascending to the spirit realm. His mind made up, Lin Xuan’s despondent mood vanished; as the saying goes, "good things take time," and these minor troubles were insignificant.

After all, he would just spend more time searching but eventually find Moon.

A month passed in a blink…

Lin Xuan still had no收获… Well, to be precise, in this small fairy domain, Lin Xuan had found many treasures.

Given his current strength, ordinary treasures no longer caught his eye.
