Shocked, Bai Shenshen's figure flashed, and she was about to dash towards the island at the center of the lake.
Ripples suddenly appeared on the tranquil surface of the lake!
The clear lake water quietly became turbid, and a green luster could be vaguely seen on the surface of the lake.
Bai Shenshen's expression flickered.
She forcibly stopped herself from flying towards the island at the center of the lake, and then looked at the lake with a grim expression.
After pondering for a few seconds, she grabbed a handful of silver sand from the inner pocket at her waist and tossed it out.
The silver sand scattered and floated towards the lake like a silver mist.
FIZZ!
As soon as it landed on the surface of the lake, thick smoke rose from it.
Bai Shenshen's expression changed again. Standing by the lakeside, she lowered her head and looked at the rippling surface of the lake. Then, she silently took a step back.
She didn't dare to make any more moves.
After a while, she noticed that the ripples on the surface of the lake gradually calmed down, and the lake water became clear again.
She circulated her spiritual power, and her eyes shone brightly as she looked towards the depths of the lake for a while. She saw that there wasn't a single fish or shrimp in the clear lake, not even a single aquatic plant.
Tall bushes grew at the edge of the lake, as if they were deliberately covering the lake, making it impossible to find them.
"It seems that this isn't a natural phenomenon. There are too many man-made traces."
After looking for a while, Bai Shenshen gradually came to her senses. Frowning, she pondered and said, "Only the Yu Clan of Dark Moon City knows how to grow medicinal plants in this area. The Yu Clan's town isn't far away. It's just that, with the Yu Clan's ability, how could they grow Empty Realm spirit herbs? "
She was puzzled.
Even the Heavenly Medicine Sect couldn't successfully transplant Empty Realm spirit herbs into the Qian Xuan Continent after searching for all kinds of exotic lands.
How could the Yu Clan possibly do it?
"Forget it. Since I can't figure out the situation, I'll leave a mark first."
After a while, Bai Shenshen decided not to stay here for long, and instead went to investigate in another place.
An hour later …
A dozen or so crimson flowers and plants magically emerged from a piece of unusually dry land that seemed to have cracked open.
The flowers and plants hadn't bloomed yet, and their branches were as red as swords, emanating multicolored light.
"Crimson Dawn Flowers!"
Bai Shenshen couldn't hold it in any longer and finally cried out in alarm. She subconsciously wanted to rush over.
However, as soon as she took a step forward, she suddenly discovered that a pungent, sour smell was wafting out of the cracked earth.
Her expression changed abruptly, and she stopped abruptly as if she had reined in a horse at the edge of a cliff. She stared deeply at the dozen or so 'Scarlet Sunset Flowers' that had yet to mature, and muttered, "Scarlet Sunset Flowers only grow in highly poisonous places. Scarlet Sunset Flowers themselves don't contain any poison, but the ground where Scarlet Sunset Flowers grow is dry on the surface and abnormally humid underneath. It also emits a highly corrosive poison."
The Scarlet Sunset Flower was an Earth Grade Seven medicinal herb, and it was what she was looking for this time.
However, according to the records of the sect, the place where the Crimson Dawn Flower grew should be further north in this world, in a more dangerous place.
However, she was now too close to Yu Clan's Town. Based on her experience and her previous knowledge, it was unlikely that Crimson Dawn Flowers would grow there.
What surprised her even more was that all of the Crimson Dawn Flowers were in the same stage, and not a single one had bloomed yet.
However, the Crimson Dawn Flowers she had seen in other places were all mixed up. Some had just grown, some had already bloomed, and some were about to wither.
The Crimson Dawn Flowers in front of her were all in the same stage, and not a single one had bloomed yet.
Unless...
A thought suddenly appeared in Bai Shenshen's mind, and even she herself was taken aback.
Unless the Crimson Dawn Flowers in front of her weren't naturally formed, but artificially cultivated!
Only when artificially cultivated Crimson Dawn Flowers were planted at the same time could they all be in different stages of growth like the ones in front of her.
"There are many evil alchemists in the Qian Xuan Continent, but I've never heard of anyone who can cultivate Crimson Dawn Flowers on their own."
Bai Shenshen, who had great doubts, suddenly felt that this trip to the Northern Domain was full of unexpected changes.
She wandered around in the vicinity.
Then, to her surprise, she discovered that there were three other kinds of exotic plants that had just been planted in the same strange place.
Furthermore, they were all growing quite well!
Like the Empty World Spirit Grass and the Crimson Dawn Flowers, they were all extremely rare in the Qian Xuan Continent, and almost impossible to grow.
After seeing those three kinds of exotic plants, she was finally convinced of a fact.
Someone had deliberately planted them in this place!
That was to say, none of the exotic plants in this place were natural.
This discovery surprised her even more than when she saw those exotic flowers and plants.
Who could have successfully grown these exotic plants in this place, which were almost impossible to grow in the Qian Xuan Continent?
...
In a secret room in the Yu Clan's mansion.
Ning Ji paced around the secret room, stopping from time to time and looking at the stone door with a hopeful expression.
Yu Can, the old man, was lying on a wooden chair in the courtyard, gazing up at the starry night sky.
Even though he was gazing at the night sky, wisps of spiritual power flowed out of him, and he could sense that the temperature in the secret room would rise and fall from time to time.
Yu Yuan had been in there for most of the day.
CREAK!
The heavy stone door was pushed open from the inside.
Both Yu Can and Ning Ji fixed their gazes on the stone door, excitement filling their faces.
Billowing heat waves spread out of the open stone door. Peeking through the gap in the door, they could see that the red-hot pill furnace was cooling down after the flame source was removed.
The fine, complicated patterns on the surface of the pill furnace gradually dimmed.
Yu Yuan's forehead and neck were red from the heat. His clothes were soaked with sweat, but he smiled brightly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and said to Ning Ji, "Fortunately, I didn't let you down."
Overjoyed, Ning Ji asked, "You did it?"
Yu Yuan took out a pill that looked like a red date and stuffed it into Ning Ji's palm. "It's only a third level Spiritual grade pill. It doesn't have any healing properties, and is only used to strengthen one's foundation. Cultivators from the Primal Yang Sect and the Red Devil School will be rewarded with Qianyang Pills as long as they make contributions to their sects.
"Cultivators from the Primal Yang Sect and the Red Devil School practice special incantations with the help of Qianyang Pills to wear down the blazing flame power within them, cleanse their skin, flesh, meridians, and bones, and refine it into their middle dantian.
"For you, however, this pill can only be used to heal your wounds."
Yu Yuan said with a serious expression.
Ning Ji didn't waste any time and swallowed the Qianyang Pill right in front of Yu Yuan and Ning Ji.
Soon after the pill entered his stomach, wisps of blazing flame power started to flow into his Huangting acupoint in his lower dantian under the guidance of his spiritual incantations.
As the blazing flame power flowed into his lower dantian, it naturally merged into his meridians, flesh, and blood, and became his unique flesh aura.
Then, the blazing flame power was completely absorbed by his Huangting acupoint.
As soon as the flame power was channeled into his Huangting acupoint, Ning Ji's eyes lit up with joy.
He could clearly sense that the wisps of frost power that he couldn't get rid of in his Huangting Microcosm seemed to have been targeted by the flame power.
He suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his lower abdomen.
However, instead of feeling shocked, he was overjoyed. His eyes widened as he said to Yu Yuan, "This works!"
With a carefree smile, Yu Yuan said, "Of course it works."
Off to the side, Yu Can, the old man, said with a smile, his face flushed red. "I'm relieved that we can get rid of the frost power in your lower dantian in one fell swoop."
Yu Yuan pointed at the open stone room and said, "Elder Ning, go in there and refine the power of the pill. That stone room will be good for you."
Ning Ji didn't refuse. He immediately went into the stone room and blocked the door from the inside.
"Is it really Liu Wei from the Frigid Yin Sect?"
The old man asked with a grim expression. "The Frigid Yin Sect is one of the seven great sects of the Tianyuan Continent. How can they be so despicable?"
"Even the Primal Yang Sect, the Sword Sect, and the Xuantianzong Sect have all kinds of disciples and elders, let alone the seven great sects." With a faint smile, Yu Yuan said, "The way I see it, the grand elder who took Lin Zhuyun to the Frigid Yin Sect is the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goal."
Yu Can sighed. "That Frostsoul Frostcrystal?"
"Let's keep it for now. The Frigid Yin Sect's grand elder won't pay too much attention to our clan." Yu Yuan said with an indifferent expression. "As for that Liu Wei, I don't think it's just because of the Frostsoul Frostcrystal that he showed up in Yu Town. Our clan's matter is probably just one of the many things he wants to take care of. "
Yu Can asked curiously, "It's just a small matter?"
"That's right. That Frigid Yin Sect disciple named Liu Wei isn't simple." Yu Yuan's expression grew grim. "The Frigid Yin Sect's incantation he practices isn't something that ordinary disciples or elders can practice. The fact that the frost currents can transform into poisonous pythons and hide their toxins shows that this incantation is extraordinary. Even though Liu Wei's cultivation base isn't high, his status in the Frigid Yin Sect must be quite high. "
Yu Can's expression flickered with astonishment. "If he's not here for our clan, then why?"
With a smile, Yu Yuan pointed to the north and said, "There are many strange things in and around Dark Moon City. For example, there are many secrets hidden in that place."
Yu Can was taken aback. "The north?"
"Yeah. It's the boundless central region from Yu Town to the Divine Might Empire. Although the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth there is thin, it's not suitable for mortals or cultivators." Yu Yuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Places that harbor filth often give birth to strange things. We can't underestimate them."
While the two of them were talking, the sound of a spirit bird flapping its wings suddenly echoed out from the sky.
Yu Yuan looked up, and discovered that a huge golden eagle had suddenly appeared in the clouds and was swooping down towards him.
"Who is it?!" Yu Can exclaimed.
He sensed that the huge golden eagle was a fourth grade spirit bird, which was filled with boundless flesh power.
A fourth grade spirit bird was equal to his cultivation base, which was at the Profound Breaker stage. However, after recovering from his knee injury and recovering his cultivation base, he had only reached the middle Profound Breaker stage.
If they were to fight, he might not be a match for that huge golden eagle.
Furthermore, he could clearly see that there was someone riding on the huge golden eagle.
BOOM!
The huge golden eagle didn't land steadily after swooping down. Instead, it crashed into the ground.
A man rolled off the huge golden eagle's back and chest, bleeding profusely.
"Zhan Tianxiang!"
