Very soon, the herb garden had been completely harvested. However, everyone was very well-behaved and didn't fight over them. Furthermore, there were some medicinal herbs that were too ripe that were left behind. They were left there instead of harvesting them!
Xiao Chen took a look and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still went forward and plucked the remaining overripe medicinal herbs. He did not need to cultivate the medicinal herbs here. He could bring them back. As long as he had Essence, it would be easy to cultivate them.
"Are you going to harvest these seeds and bring them back?" Granny Nanshan looked at Xiao Chen and asked curiously, "If they stay here and grow, can't they be harvested again in the future?"
"Let's not talk about whether I will have the chance to come again next time. Even if I do, others might be one step ahead of me. It's safer to bring them back. Besides, I know someone who can cultivate spiritual herbs." Xiao Chen didn't mention himself. Instead, he mentioned someone else so that he wouldn't appear too different.
"I see. I was overthinking." Granny Nanshan nodded and said, "Then, should we go back the way we came, or …"
"According to my observations, if I'm not wrong, this place is actually an array formation. We are inside this array formation. This is the back mountain of the Immortal Resort. However, it is enveloped by a large array formation that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nurture these spiritual herbs," Xiao Chen said. "This is how the warm climate here is formed."
"That can't be right, right?" Clayden said, "Before this, I ran all over the back of the mountain, but I didn't find this herb garden. Moreover, this herb garden is open-air. We can see the sunlight from here, which proves that this place is connected to the outside world. How could the satellite map not be able to find this place?"
"He he … This is the beauty of an array formation!" Xiao Chen said. "The array formation hides the entire herb garden. Although this array formation has the effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is not only a spiritual energy gathering array formation but also a large concealment array formation. Therefore, it can't be seen from the outside."
"Is it that amazing?" Clayden was surprised.
"Let me look for an exit first!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
When it came to finding an exit, no one else could help. Xiao Chen could only rely on himself.
This herb garden wasn't big. While Xiao Chen was looking for the exit, everyone wandered around the vicinity. However, they were surprised to find that this herb garden seemed to be connected to the surrounding forest, but in fact, they couldn't get out when they reached the edge. It was as if there was an invisible barrier that was blocking them. When they walked here, they were blocked, just like the array in front of the stone door!
"It's really miraculous. These ancient powerhouses were actually able to set up such an awesome array!" Xia Xibin clicked his tongue in wonder.
"This formation can actually be broken by brute force. It's just that it will take a lot of effort." Xiao Chen said, "If we find the array door, we can leave smoothly. The designer must have designed it this way!"
Everyone nodded and pinned their hopes on Xiao Chen.
The array door of this array wasn't easy to find. Even with the help of the Elder Heaven Ancestor, Xiao Chen still wasted a lot of energy. Finally, he stopped at the edge of the array and began to throw array flags around.
Slowly, a blue circle similar to the one in the hall appeared in front of Xiao Chen. Everyone was a little excited. They didn't expect Xiao Chen to actually find the array door. He was much more reliable than Chen Xinniang.
"Alright, let's go out!" After Xiao Chen said that, he entered the teleportation point. The people behind him didn't stop and followed him. In the next moment, Xiao Chen and the others stood on the mountain that was similar to the one before. However, a chill hit them and the temperature had returned to normal. It wasn't as warm as before.
"Eh? We're out. The place we were at just now seems to be similar to this place. However, there isn't a herb garden here?! "Ling 'er looked around and said with some surprise," This … isn't this supposed to be a herb garden? But, there isn't … "
When everyone heard Ling 'er's words, they also looked over. Indeed, the environment here was extremely similar to before. The terrain was completely the same. However, the place where the herb garden should have been had turned into a grassland. The temperature was also not as warm as before.
"That's it. Before, we were inside the array. Now, we're outside the array. Those things are hidden by the array, so we can't see or touch them." Xiao Chen said, "Actually, you can just imagine that we were in a fourth-dimensional parallel space. If we didn't find the array door, people outside would never be able to enter!"
"Is the array door under our feet?" Ling 'er asked.
"Yes, but it's useless if we can't find it and open it." Xiao Chen said, "Even if you stand here, you can't enter."
"It's really magical!" Ling 'er couldn't help but sigh. "Master, why have all these people who were proficient in array formations been lost?"
"Many ancient magical powers have been lost with the passage of time. This is inevitable. We humans have also created modern technology, which was something that ancient times didn't have. It wasn't like now, where technological information was shared. In the past, only masters and disciples knew about it. If a master didn't accept a disciple before he died, or if the disciple's aptitude wasn't good, then the knowledge would be lost …" Granny Nanshan said.
"Alright, let's part ways here!" Xiao Chen said. "Although there aren't too many good treasures in these ruins, everyone's harvest is still decent. If there's such an opportunity in the future, we can still cooperate."
"I'm all ears, Young Hero Xiao!" Mo Xiangyin said with cupped fists.
"This old man is following Young Hero Xiao to gain experience …" Cheng Tianqiu chuckled and said, "Young Hero Xiao, I wonder if you can leave me a way to contact you? If you have time, I'll invite you to the Cheng family for a drink! "
"Give me your contact number. I'll look for you when I'm free." Xiao Chen thought about it and said. With his identity as Xiao Qiang, he hadn't bought a new SIM card, so he couldn't give it to Cheng Tianqiu for the time being.
"Alright!" Cheng Tianqiu took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Chen.
Shen Hongjian glanced at Cheng Tianqiu and knew that it wasn't a good thing when he saw the latter's flirtatious look. He had asked Xiao Chen if he was married before, so he was probably tempted!
He couldn't help but curse in his heart. Xiao Chen's engagement was broken off by the Cheng family, and he still wanted to get back? Did you guys always take all the good things? Didn't you think it was possible?
However, when he thought about it, Xiao Chen seemed to have been living in Cheng Mengying's villa after he and Shen Jingxuan got together, it seemed possible. He was a little worried that Xiao Chen wouldn't abandon Shen Jingxuan because of the Cheng family's girl.
"Young Hero Xiao is very busy. Old Cheng, don't bother him. He doesn't have time to look for you for a drink!" Shen Hongjian said.
"What does it have to do with you?" Cheng Tianqiu glared. "Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you're from the Shen Family of Zhenwu. In my eyes, you're nothing. Our strength is about the same. Our Cheng family is not to be trifled with!"
"That's not what I meant. I mean, Young Hero Xiao is busy …" Shen Hongjian said.
"Alright, Clayden. If I have time, why not visit the Cheng family?" In reality, Xiao Chen really wanted to visit the Cheng family. From the way he saw it, Cheng Tianqiu probably had nothing to do with the matter of him and his father.
He was actually tricked by Qiao Enze to come here to make a fortune. The Cheng family's background was probably not deep. Otherwise, they wouldn't be interested in these treasures.
If there really was a powerful force supporting the Cheng family, would Cheng Tianqiu lack these things? But could it be that Cheng Mengqiang acted on his own? But he didn't have that much power. It was probably Cheng Zhongfan.
Shen Hongjian saw that Xiao Chen had said so and didn't say anything else. He thought to himself, Sure enough, Xiao Chen likes Cheng Mengying!
Everyone parted ways here. Grandma Nanshan didn't say much and left with Ling 'er. They had already agreed to send the spiritual jades to Little Hong's pharmacy, so there was no need to give them to Xiao Chen in person.
Cheng Tianqiu left with Qiao Enze on his back. Mo Xiangyin's family also left. Clayden saw that the two people from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau hadn't left yet. He knew that they definitely knew about Xiao Chen's identity. After all, Song Huawu had helped Xiao Chen back then.
"Xiao Chen, are you okay? I heard that Yang Tan didn't die. Why hasn't your arrest warrant been lifted? "Clayden asked.
"It's hard to say. We'll have to wait and see." Xiao Chen didn't say much. "Old Master Shen, did Jingxuan contact you?"
"She did. She said that she's doing well in the sect. The elders in Hong Zhu's sect value her very much. It's just that she's focused on cultivation and doesn't have much time to contact her family!" Clayden said. "She hasn't persisted in cultivating since she was young. Now, she has fallen behind too much. She has to work hard to make the best use of her time."
"It's good that she's fine. Tell her that I'm fine too. Don't worry about me." Xiao Chen said. "When I have time, I'll visit her!"
"Okay!" Clayden nodded and said, "Oh right, that old thing, Cheng Tianqiu. Why did you still care about him when he broke off the engagement with you?"
"Mengying has always been good to me. I'll do it for Mengying's sake." Xiao Chen knew what Clayden was thinking, so he said, "You don't have to worry about these things. Jingxuan didn't say anything either."
"Okay, then I won't talk about it." Clayden nodded. "I'll take my leave then. I'll go back to the Shen Family first."
After saying goodbye to Clayden, Xiao Chen, Song Huawu, and Xia Xibin also left together. When they returned to Song Huawu's house, Xiao Chen also returned to his original appearance. Song Huawu liked to be clean, so she went to take a shower first.
"Xiao Chen, are you going to take a shower or not?" Song Huawu walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. Her body was still steaming. Her originally capable appearance looked a little gentle and beautiful. Although she had short hair, there was another kind of beauty to her.
Xiao Chen looked at Song Huawu. His heart was slightly moved, but he quickly suppressed his naughty thoughts. He didn't have dirty thoughts to do anything to Song Huawu. Song Huawu had been helping him and taking him in was already good enough.
