In the calm cave, Yi Tian looked at the token in his hand. He had never seen the inscriptions on it before. After paying for the three stone statues a quarter of an hour ago, Yi Tian ran to the stone table and opened the stone box. There was only a token and a jade slip inside.
He spread out his spiritual sense and roughly scanned the jade slip. It was actually the method to make puppets. Yi Tian turned his head and smiled. Even if the sea woman obtained this, she might not be able to use it. This was clearly something left behind by a human cultivator.
Yi Tian picked up the token and looked at it. He estimated that it should be able to control the three stone puppets. After pouring his magic power into it, it actually worked. After using his spiritual sense, he could directly control the stone statues. As a result, Yi Tian slowly experimented with the method of controlling the stone statues according to the jade slip. At first, he couldn't move his hands and feet because of the entanglement of the vines. After putting away the magic power, Yi Tian commanded the stone statues to make various movements.
He estimated that the core energy of the three stone puppets would be enough for a while. However, due to the limitations of the materials and the cultivation of the person who made them, they could only be comparable to mid stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. According to the jade slip, as long as his cultivation increased and he found a suitable energy core, the puppets he made would be comparable to early stage Jin Dan cultivators.
According to the incantation recorded in the jade slip, Yi Tian chanted an incantation and sent his spirit force into the token. The three stone statues looked at the token and the runes on their bodies lit up. After a flash, they turned into three white lights that flew into the token. Yi Tian took the token and looked at it. There were three spots of light on the front. They should be the three stone statues that had been taken in.
After tidying everything up, he looked around. There was a small path inside the cave and a small path on the side. Yi Tian didn't want to chase after the sea woman, so he chose the other path.
Along the way, Yi Tian silently calculated the time. He had been walking in this direction for an hour. There were too many suspicious places in this ruin. So far, Yi Tian had not encountered any obstacles.
He remembered Liu Piaopao saying that the cultivators who came in the last time didn't dare to go too deep, but they brought back several spiritual herbs that were over three hundred years old. In the end, they found the exit after a month. Based on this, Yi Tian guessed that there should be at least one Spirit Herb Garden here, but he didn't know if there were any Spirit Beasts guarding it.
After walking along the road for a quarter of an hour, there was finally an exit in front of him. A few rays of light penetrated through the hole not far away. Yi Tian took a few steps forward and walked out.
According to the magma seeping out of the ground from time to time and the increasing temperature, Yi Tian estimated that this ruin should be built in the crater of a volcano at the bottom of the sea. But why did the door of the ruin suddenly appear? This was the biggest question in Yi Tian's heart.
After walking out of the passage, Yi Tian arrived at a stone room. There were two paths in front of him. The left path had a signboard with a window, while the right path had a small signboard with a medicinal herb on it. After weighing the pros and cons, Yi Tian didn't know what the signboard meant. Since there was information about a medicinal herb garden, he might as well take a look first.
After walking along the small path for a quarter of an hour, Yi Tian arrived at a garden. There were all kinds of strange flowers and herbs growing here, but the air was mixed with the smell of blood, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Walking along the small path in the garden, Yi Tian felt as if someone had been here. Moreover, there was no path here. The path under Yi Tian's feet seemed to have been opened by someone.
After walking along the winding path for less than a quarter of an hour, he heard the sound of spells colliding in front of him. Yi Tian was overjoyed. He should have met someone, but he didn't know if they were friend or foe. After hurriedly walking forward a few steps, he saw two cultivators arguing about something. Yi Tian strode forward to take a look. It was Cheng Lingsheng and Yin Wuhui arguing about the ownership of a Purple Jade Lingzhi on the ground. Looking at the grade of the spiritual herb, it was at least Jin Dan cultivators who could use it.
Beside them was the corpse of a Sea Race cultivator. It seemed that the two of them had joined forces to kill the Sea Race cultivator, but they hadn't split the spiritual herb.
Seeing someone come, the two of them stopped and stared at Yi Tian. Yin Wuhui said, "You don't have a share of the things here. Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, we'll take care of you as well."
Cheng Lingsheng, who was standing at the side, didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes was enough to declare his sovereignty over Yi Tian. After being stunned for a moment, Yi Tian smiled and flashed to the side, leaving the two of them there.
It was best not to get involved in this matter. Moreover, there was something strange about this garden, so he had to be careful. After walking for less than ten breaths, he heard the sound of spells colliding. Yi Tian was puzzled. There was no need to fall out over a spiritual herb.
Yi Tian wanted to watch a good show, so he hurriedly turned around and used an escape technique to escape. He saw that the place where the two of them and the corpse were fighting had become noisy. Yin Wu Hui held the Purple Jade Spirit Mushroom in his hand, but there were several wooden vines that wrapped around his hand and entangled it. Cheng Lingsheng wasn't having a good time either. His feet were entangled, so he used the spirit sword in his hand to slash at the vines.
Seeing this, Yi Tian couldn't just stand by and watch. He took out a spirit sword from his storage bracelet and used a spell to help Cheng Lingsheng out. The two of them quickly stood side by side and slashed at the vines that stretched out from the grass. Yi Tian took out a fireball talisman and shot out a dozen of them, lighting up a large area of the ground. Only then did the situation ease a little.
After a few more fireballs, Yin Wuhui finally had time to escape. The two of them didn't waste any more time and followed Yi Tian back the way they came.
After walking a few steps, they saw that the path in front of them was blocked by wooden vines. They turned around and heard a loud sound behind them. A huge flower bud drilled out from the ground. With a bang, the flower bud opened, revealing sharp teeth.
Cheng Lingsheng cried out, "This is a Ghost Faced Flower. It has the strength of at least a Rank Five Tree Demon. Let's use fire to attack it." After saying that, spiritual power flashed in his hand and a bunch of flames flashed towards the flower bud.
Yin Wuhui saw that their escape route was blocked and could only deal with the Tree Demon in front of them first. He slapped the corpse refining pouch and summoned the copper armored corpse to block in front of them. Yi Tian took out a large number of fireball talismans and continuously activated them to control the fireballs to attack the Tree Demon.
Fortunately, with Cheng Lingsheng's reminder, the fire spells continuously lit up the man-eating flower's stem and leaves. The vines that were waiting for an opportunity were also directly set on fire.
After enduring the combined attacks of the three, the Ghost Faced Flower's flower bud began to counterattack. The flower bud occasionally spat out a mouthful of green liquid, which gave off a foul smell when it touched the ground. The three of them looked at the potholes on the ground. This green liquid was extremely corrosive. If they were hit, they would basically fall over. The three of them could only continuously dodge and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
After using half of the fireball talismans, the entire herb garden was burning with a raging fire. The intensity of the fire continuously suppressed the Ghost Faced Flower's range of movement. Seeing that the three of them were gradually gaining the upper hand, the Ghost Faced Flower's flower bud suddenly opened and shot out a few red vines that wrapped around the three of them.
Yi Tian, who was at the side, had sharp eyes and shouted, "Everyone be careful!" Then, he used the wind escape technique with all his strength to dodge the incoming attacks. He also took out a Thousand Nail Ruler talisman and quickly injected spirit power into it, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Ghost Faced Flower.
Cheng Lingsheng, on the other hand, wrapped the two flames around his hands and ignited the attacking vines. On the other hand, Yin Wuhui was in a more difficult situation. He dodged left and right, and if he couldn't do it, he controlled the refined corpse to block it. He was fine, but the refined corpse was tightly bound.
Fifteen minutes later, the Ghost Faced Flower exploded from the pressure. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Yin Wu Hui. Yin Wu Hui sensed that something was wrong. He quickly controlled the refined corpse to help out while he hid behind the refined corpse.
With a bang, the copper-armored corpse was swallowed whole by the flower bud. Yin Wuhui's hands continuously formed seals to control the refined corpse to break through from the inside.
The three of them saw that the Ghost Faced Flower's flower bud was shaking violently. It should be the refined corpse exploding from the inside. However, the shaking was getting smaller and smaller. Seeing that they couldn't wait any longer, Yi Tian pointed the talisman in his hand at the stem of the Ghost Faced Flower. In an instant, hundreds of small rulers turned into a pillar of light that was as thick as a tree stump and shot out.
With a series of explosions, the Ghost Faced Flower's flower bud was directly dug out from the stem. After a loud explosion, the tattered flower bud split open and a half digested refined corpse crawled out. The lower half of its body had been completely corroded by the green liquid, leaving behind only bones. The upper half of its body was also almost completely consumed. Only the upper half of its body could be seen as a refined corpse.
Yin Wuhui also shook his head. Looking at the refined corpse, he could only close his eyes and cast a grey spell. Then, he pointed at the refined corpse and directly blasted it into pieces.
The entire herb garden was set ablaze and almost all of the vegetation was burned to ashes. Looking at the flames in the spacious cave, the three of them couldn't find any more spirit herbs. Yi Tian took the time to look at the roots of the Ghost Faced Flowers. He even plucked a handful of seeds and stored them in his storage bag.
Fortunately, after the fire burned out, the back of the cave revealed a path. This time, Yin Wuhui signaled the two of them to continue walking. At least there were still unexplored areas in front of them.
Cheng Lingsheng was also angry that he didn't get any spirit herbs this time. On the other hand, Yi Tian wanted to continue exploring. Since Yin Wuhui had swallowed the spirit herb, the two of them didn't want to bicker about it for the time being. However, they were even more vigilant against each other. The next time they encountered danger, they might not work together.
This time, Yi Tian was also careful and said, "If we continue to explore like this, we will have to discuss how to split the spoils. How about I immediately turn back and we go our separate ways?"
Cheng Lingsheng also agreed, "It should be like this. We can't take everything for ourselves. If we can't come to an agreement, we can just go our separate ways."
Yin Wuhui, who was standing in front of the cave, frowned and said, "How are you going to split the spoils?"
"Of course we will do it in order. Next time we find a spirit herb, Cheng Lingsheng will take it, then I will take it."
Yi Tian's proposal was immediately approved by Cheng Lingsheng. Now it was two to one, so it was up to Yin Wuhui to decide.
Turning his head to look at the two of them, Yin Wuhui also knew that they were in a disadvantageous situation. If one of them went down, it would be hard to guarantee that they wouldn't suffer. The three of them together would be much safer. After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.
The three of them formed a temporary alliance and headed towards the tunnel ahead. Yin Wu Hui walked at the front, and Cheng Lingsheng tacitly maintained a distance of 15 meters from him. Yi Tian then followed behind Cheng Lingsheng, slowly moving forward.
Yi Tian, who was walking on the road, analyzed the battle in the herb garden. If the person who came in last time took out a few stalks of spirit herbs, then they definitely didn't come from here. In other words, this ruin was much larger than expected.
Seeing that, Yi Tian began regretting his decision to not take the main road earlier. He might have been able to uncover the secret of this ruin. Judging by the various signs, this place did not resemble the grotto-mansion of an ancient cultivator. At the very least, Yi Tian did not believe that a cultivator would plant Ghost-faced Flowers in his own herbal garden.
