第四卷 七星岛 第五百八十九章 药园与蜂窝

The Wise Among the World Are the Heroes.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "If you can think like this naturally, that's even better."

Corpse Infant's face was filled with fear. He opened his mouth but ultimately didn't say anything, seemingly already at death's door.

Just as Lin Xuan was about to implant a restriction on him, something unexpected happened.

Corpse Infant suddenly raised his head, the fear on his face completely vanishing, replaced by malice. There was also a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

He opened his mouth and shot out a small needle faster than lightning towards Lin Xuan's throat.

This guy wasn't trying to surrender; he was clearly luring him into an ambush.

At this distance, no more than ten feet apart, it would be impossible for the other party to dodge unless they could teleport.

Zing!

Sure enough, the needle hit its target. Corpse Infant was overjoyed in his heart. However, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile as he turned into nothingness with a flash of light.

"Bad luck. It's an illusion technique."

This time, Corpse Infant truly lost his composure. He hadn't expected the other party to be so cunning despite being young.

"Since you refused my offer and chose to take the punishment, I'll be generous too."

As Lin Xuan spoke, Mo said, "Friend, since you're not taking my offering, then I will have no choice but to be rude."

Moonlight had already taken the initiative. The little girl cast a spell, causing the dark clouds above to churn and countless strands of darkness shooting out.

The other party naturally wouldn't sit idly by. But with his strength nearly depleted, he couldn't dodge it. A flicker of black light wrapped him tightly.

This was too easy, leaving Lin Xuan slightly surprised. He rubbed his nose as his sleeves brushed against each other, a golden talisman changing shape and emitting a beam of light that enveloped Corpse Infant.

Lin Xuan finally relaxed as he summoned the creature to his palm.

After weighing it in his hand, Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and struck the storage bag. A box appeared in his palm.

He opened the lid and stuffed Corpse Infant inside before taking several talismans to completely seal him off.

"Master, what do you plan on doing with this monster?" Mo asked curiously.

"This, I will explain later."

Lin Xuan wasn't intentionally keeping secrets; he was focused on treasure hunting. He would explain in due time. For some reason, he felt a strange unease and decided to leave quickly.

He released his spirit sense to scan the surroundings. His gaze fell upon the body of the ear-tipped cultivator.

With a wave of his sleeves, a beam of light flew out, retrieving his storage bag and that mysterious jade pendant.

A condensation core cultivator naturally had considerable wealth, but Lin Xuan wasn't in the mood to examine it closely now. Instead, he focused on observing the jade pendant in his hand.

It was roughly the size of a palm, one side carved with beast, insects, and fish, while the other side bore strange characters.

The colors were slightly different.

Lin Xuan's face revealed a thoughtful expression. These two pendants must be related.

However, he didn't have time to study them now. He first cast a fireball, burning the ear-tipped cultivator's body. Then, with both hands, he conjured a wind dragon.

The wind dragon drifted around, erasing any traces of the fight between Corpse Infant and Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan was satisfied.

With his left hand, he waved, and the jade pendant from the ear-tipped cultivator glowed, emitting a yellow beam that entered it without obstruction. A crack appeared, and Lin Xuan hurried inside.

He looked up to see "Eternal Cultivation Pavilion" written in flowing script. He felt an inexplicable pressure despite standing so close.

But he took a deep breath, calming his agitated heart.

With his hand, he opened the door, revealing a long corridor.

Before that, Lin Xuan had already activated the ancient shield, creating a red light curtain. Fortunately, there was no danger.

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief but still released his spirit sense to search thoroughly before entering the hall.

As he walked forward slowly, he examined the surroundings.

The corridor wasn't too long, but it wasn't short either. After walking about a hundred feet, a bright light suddenly appeared ahead.

Lin Xuan was delighted and sped up.

"Hmm, what is this?"

Lin Xuan's face showed surprise as he saw that at the end of the corridor was a garden several acres in size. As soon as he approached, he smelled medicinal herbs.

"Purple Sakura Grass, Seven-leaf Flower, Fragrant Leaf."

Lin Xuan looked at the plants and felt elated. These were ancient spirit herbs long extinct outside.

"I've only seen these in texts before. This time, we have a great收获," Mo said with a smile.

"That's true." Lin Xuan was also in high spirits but didn't immediately start picking them. Instead, he released his senses to check if there were any restrictions.

After all, this medicinal garden was set up inside the treasure hall, and none of these plants were ordinary. The ancient cultivators must have had some defenses.

However, after scanning with his spirit sense, Lin Xuan didn't find anything unusual.

"Master, perhaps it's been too long since those arrays lost their effectiveness," Mo speculated.

Lin Xuan laughed in surprise. Throughout this journey, he had encountered many dangers and obstacles. It was impossible for the restrictions inside to fail while the outer ones were functioning properly.

Lin Xuan couldn't be careless and searched thoroughly again. This time, he found something. On the left side of the garden, there was a common willow tree.

It was just an ordinary tree, but its age was unknown.

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows. Willow trees couldn't live that long. Was there some hidden secret?

He began to examine it closely. There was a noticeable bump on the trunk. Lin Xuan's heart stirred as he stretched out his fingers and cast several sword beams.

Zing!

The beams struck forward.

At this moment, an indigo figure appeared, blocking the path of the sword beams.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Several sounds echoed as the sword beams were deflected. The indigo figure flew back.

Lin Xuan squinted to see that it was a bee. But unlike ordinary ones, its size was much larger and covered in purple and red stripes. Its eyes were blood-red.

"This looks familiar, Master," Mo said doubtfully.

"Indeed. And we've had an encounter before. We're in trouble now." Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely serious. These were the venomous insects he encountered when first arriving at Jade Profound Sect. Back then, it was just a magic bee, but now there was an entire hive.
