168 Entering the Basin (2)
“Even if the King of Medicine is sentient, he probably can’t escape underground with the Earth Escape Spell now.”
Many people felt that the Ye Family would definitely be able to harvest all the treasures successfully. They quickly became the first faction to have a good start.
Ye Wenzhong smiled and glanced at Lu Jiu. “I think you might as well attack with all your might. Perhaps you’ll be like us and break through with only a few moves.”
“You don’t have to worry about what we do.”
Lu Jiu replied coldly, as if he was not on good terms with Ye Wenzhong.
Song Shi’s clone said to Old Man Nightmare, “How is the sect’s relationship with the Ye Family?”
“They’re basically enemies. The Ye Family has a close relationship with the Qian Family of the Great Qian Royal Family. There are often kings with different surnames in the family. They have once killed many people from the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Even…”
As Old Man Nightmare spoke, he glanced at Lu Youyou and did not say much. He concluded, “Anyway, we’re basically mortal enemies.”
“Oh, I see.”
Song Shi said meaningfully.
Old Man Nightmare took another look at Song Shi. Why did he suddenly feel that there was a hidden meaning in this person’s words?
However, when he saw that the Ye Family and their cultivators had managed to successfully approach the medicinal field to harvest it, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he sighed. “This guy is about to obtain the King of Medicine. His luck is really good.”
On the medicinal field, Spiritual Qi condensed and did not dissipate. All kinds of medicinal herbs emitted a rich smell and many butterflies fluttered about.
A few cultivators landed among the medicinal herbs and looked at the thousand-year-old medicinal herbs on the ground. They excitedly dug out the surrounding medicinal herbs.
“This medicinal herb is three thousand years old. It’s just short of spirituality.”
“My herbs are seven thousand years old…”
A few butterflies suddenly landed on them and “plop, plop, plop.”
The few of them fell straight to the ground and squashed the many medicinal herbs beneath them.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Before everyone could be shocked, the bodies of the people here seemed to have decayed then evaporated on the spot.
“What… what’s going on!”
The people behind were filled with fear. If these people died from the Array Formation attack, at least they would know clearly what was going on.
“Retreat!”
The people from the Heavenly Poison Sect looked over and some of the higher-ups revealed thoughtful expressions.
“This butterfly looks a little like the extinct Corrupted Poison Butterfly.”
“That’s true. I didn’t expect there to be such an ancient mutant here. One can’t let it come into contact with his. Otherwise, the power it emits can decay completely.”
The people from the Heavenly Poison Sect gave a brief introduction of the butterfly with just a few words.
Instantly, the many admiring gazes changed. They stared fearfully at the butterflies dancing in the medicinal field. For a moment, no one dared to approach.
“Ye, these butterflies are not something you can deal with. If you know what’s good for you, stay away. Let us have it.”
The leader of the Heavenly Poison Sect’s team cackled. He seemed to be gloating.
“Hmph, it’s just a few Poison Butterflies. Why can’t we deal with them?”
Ye Wenzhong was furious. Nomological power erupted from his hand as he slapped them together angrily.
The Void distorted, and the butterflies that were still flying in the air were instantly crushed.
As soon as they died, they turned into ashes and landed on the nearby medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs burned with a puff and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a special poisonous force spread out. Some cultivators who were far away suddenly felt their Essence Energy barriers begin to burn. In the blink of an eye, they started to burn as well.
“What the hell is that!”
“Why is my Spiritual Essence burning me? I can’t control it at all.”
“Help me!”
The burning cultivators’ shock quickly turned into a scream. In the end, they all died miserably.
Ye Wenzhong’s expression turned ugly when he saw that his subordinates were actually unable to withstand the aftermath of the blast. “Stop for a moment.”
Now that he could see that killing the Corrupted Poison Butterflies would only destroy the medicinal herbs, he did not know what to do.
The people from the Heavenly Poison Sect definitely knew how to deal with the situation, but they would also definitely not tell them.
“Hehe, you even dare to kill this thing casually. People indeed behave so differently when they have a strong foundation.”
Facing the Heavenly Poison Sect’s sect master’s ridicule, the Ye Family Head’s face turned dark. He had suffered a loss because of his lack of knowledge.
Old Man Nightmare looked at Song Shi’s clone in shock, “Don’t tell me you knew this was going to happen?”
“If even medicinal herbs can become spirits, how can the butterflies inside be harmless?”
Song Shi pursed his lips. He was unwilling to say more. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
“That’s true. Even if a butterfly doesn’t become a spirit, it won’t be a normal butterfly either. But who would have thought that it would be so poisonous?”
Old Man Nightmare saw that the Ye Family had stopped their attacks and smiled. When he turned around and saw that Lu Youyou was in a good mood, he did not say anything else.
“Blood-robed Elder, it should be about time.”
Lu Jiu spoke. He had been observing the situation at the node. After Song Shi had led the attack, after more than twenty times, the power of the node had decreased greatly.
“If the sect master wants to open it in one go, it shouldn’t be a problem now.”
Song Shi nodded. Even if Lu Jiu and the others did not make a move, he was confident that he could break through by himself.
“Foundation Establishment cultivators, retreat. Golden Core cultivators, prepare.”
Lu Jiu revealed a serious expression. He pressed his finger on the node and Nomological power condensed runes in the void. They connected and turned into small black snakes that crawled into the node.
Soon, the node twisted violently and a hole was drilled out by the small black snake.
This hole was ten feet wide, and as the Array Formation barrier was already very weak, it was easier to break through than before.
“Attack here. Go all out. Hurry!”
The various elders and inner sect disciples who had already rested for a while activated their Dharma treasures or condensed spells to attack at the same time.
With a loud bang, the hole created by the small black snake was broken open, revealing the space inside.
Lu Jiu hurriedly formed hand seals and continued to send out runes that fused into the cave entrance to consolidate this rather small entrance.
In the end, everything managed to stabilize, and the faint fragrance of tea wafted out. Just a whiff of it made one feel much better.
“Let’s go in and take a look first. You Foundation Establishment Cultivators stay behind to guard this place.”
Lu Jiu looked at the Blood-Robed old ghost, “Elder Blood-Robes, let’s go and get your Wisdom Tea Tree.”
“Okay.”
Song Shi was not afraid of any danger inside at all. He nodded confidently.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Jiu led the way and flew in. The others entered one after another and entered the area enveloped by the Array Formation nodes.
Song Shi took a look at the entire scene and felt that he was in a basin when he entered.
“The Sky and the Land are the alms bowls, while the humans in the basin are the Gu worms. Is this a Gu refining sect?”
A strange thought appeared in his mind. He followed behind and entered through a narrow entrance. Immediately, he felt that his vision had changed, as if he had arrived at a new world.
There was a tea forest here with all kinds of tea trees planted. The two Wisdom Tea Trees happened to be the most precious among them, carrying rich spirituality.
Song Shi raised his head and took a look. A black circle pierced through the inside and outside, forming a passageway.
“Lu Jiu also knows some Array Formation techniques, so it was easy for us to enter.”
Song Shi turned around and sized up the surroundings. The land here was very vast. Just building a comprehensive Array Formation to envelop this place would definitely cost a lot of effort.
Not only did such a powerful force suddenly disappear, but everyone in the present had never heard of them or their disappearance. It was really strange.
“Elder Blood Robes, according to the agreement, one of these is yours. It’s up to you to choose which one.”
Lu Jiu landed in front of the Wisdom Tea Tree and kept his promise, taking the initiative to mention this matter.
“The one on the right.”
Song Shi walked over and looked at the tea tree. He took out his flying sword and began to dig.
Crack! Crack!
The ground was cut open by his flying sword, causing a huge commotion, but there was no danger.
“That attack just now should be the final attack of this node.”
Lu Jiu waved his hand. “It’s still better to be careful. Dig up all the tea trees to ensure their survival. When we need to, we can sell these.”
Song Shi was very strong. In a few moments, he dug out a large piece of the root under the tea tree. Looking at the large tea tree, Song Shi said happily, “There will be good tea to drink in the future.”
Lu Youyou walked over and took a handful of tea leaves, making Song Shi unhappy, “This is my stuff. Stay away from it.”
“Why are you so stingy? I’m just taking a few leaves from you. You still have so many leaves here.”
Lu Youyou looked like a child, but her hand was still pulling the leaves. Song Shi was so angry that he grabbed Lu Youyou’s hand and pointed at a pile of tea leaves. “How many pieces do you have? If you do it a few more times, the tree will be bald!”
“Stingy!”
Lu Youyou’s other hand was still tugging at the leaves. Song Shi’s face darkened and he felt extremely annoyed.
“Blood-robed Elder, there are a lot of tea leaves in this tree. You can’t finish them all by yourself.”
Shi Tianya said indifferently, “Since Junior Sister likes it, let her pick a few pieces.”
“Shut up. It’s not yours. Why are you pretending to be a good person?”
Song Shi retorted and stared at Lu Youyou. This woman was so annoying. The more he tried to stop her, the more he would appear like a petty person.
Then, as if he didn’t care about this, he let go of Lu Youyou’s hand and said “Continue plucking them then.”
“You agreed to this.”
Lu Youyou laughed strangely. She used both hands and quickly picked out large pieces of tea leaves.
