Chapter 256 Heading to the Herb Garden
After asking her question, Zhang Lingyu fell silent. Lin Qing and the other man's expressions changed several times, and they tried to speak several times but could not make a sound.
Simply put, this news is just...
If the Spirit Puppet Palace were only to open in six days, it would be somewhat better, as the intensity within the Heavenly Mystery Palace would be less intense. As the cultivator surnamed Jiang said, most cultivators' goals are to form their Golden Core and obtain the magical treasures left behind by the Spirit Puppet Sect Master.
After a fierce battle, most of them would choose to conserve their energy and quietly wait for the Spirit Puppet Palace to open.
Now things are different. Inside are thirty companion tokens, forcing them to fight and compete for them. During this time, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, they will inevitably try to acquire many items.
They were at a decent late-stage Foundation Establishment level, but they were still far behind the top cultivators from various sects.
If you really want to go in, you must be prepared to perish.
"If either of you has any intention of backing down, I, Zhang, will not blame you. You two have long lifespans ahead of you, and your cultivation levels will definitely reach the peak of Foundation Establishment within ten or twenty years."
Seeing that they remained silent for a long time, Zhang Lingyu sighed and said, "The opportunities of the Spirit Puppet Sect are indeed suitable for you, but there are many other places in the world. Perhaps one day you will have a fortuitous encounter and obtain some heaven-defying inheritance."
"Sometimes taking a step back isn't a bad thing. As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood."
To be honest, Zhang Lingyu wasn't confident either. With the rules of the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box now in effect, everyone could imagine what the Heavenly Mystery Hall would be like five days from now.
In such a chaotic situation, even protecting oneself is not guaranteed, let alone protecting Lin Qing and the other person.
"What Fellow Daoist Zhang said makes sense, but the matter of opportunity is really hard to explain, and we don't know when we will get another chance. This opportunity is rare, and to be honest, my wife and I are not willing to stop here."
Lin Qingyou sighed and gritted her teeth, saying, "My husband and I only ask for some inheritance... We have no interest in the Spirit Puppet Palace."
He now felt an intense hatred for the Spirit Puppet Transformation Box, yet he was powerless to do anything about it. The higher he climbed and the better the things he obtained, the more he had to pay.
It all depends on whether you have the courage to fight for it.
"If you are still willing to continue your journey, there may still be a way."
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you mean...?"
"That's good, we can work together with other cultivators."
The three-person team was far too weak, and it would be difficult for them to protect themselves within the Heavenly Mystery Hall. If they cooperated with others, they could form a considerable fighting force, enough to make them wary.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you perhaps already have someone to cooperate with?" Chen Xiaomeng asked excitedly.
"Of course, you also know who our partner is: the Li family of Yuhu."
Zhang Lingyu replied:
"A few years ago, I helped the Li family retrieve spiritual items in the secret realm, and I was received by the True Person. He not only rewarded me with things, but also said that I could go with them on the trip to the Spirit Puppet Sect."
"But I declined because I had made an agreement with the two of you before. However, the head of the Li family contacted me privately and said that if I change my mind inside the ruins, I can go to them."
The Li family sent five cultivators this time, led by Li Yanhui as before. Although their current whereabouts are unknown, the Spirit Puppet Palace is there, so they will definitely go there.
Once it sees the message left by the Spirit Puppet Transformation Box, it will definitely seek help.
The three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were a considerable fighting force for them. Even if they didn't know Lin Qing and his wife well, with Zhang Lingyu as their guarantor, they probably wouldn't refuse.
"That's right, the Li family of Yuhu. I almost forgot that your two families are related by marriage."
Lin Qing immediately beamed with joy and said:
"Joining their team, even if you can't obtain any inheritance within the Heavenly Mystery Hall, at least your safety will be somewhat guaranteed."
"As long as Fellow Daoist Zhang can persuade them, the two of us can guarantee that we will only take the inheritance. Whether we get it or not, we will do our best to help them obtain the passage token."
After saying this, they each bowed to Zhang Lingyu.
"You two don't need to do that."
Zhang Lingyu helped the two up and said with a smile, "While we are the ones seeking help, don't they also hope that we will join them to strengthen their ranks?"
"I'll send them a message right away, explaining the situation."
When they left the Li family, they exchanged contact information so that the two families could help each other.
After sending the message, he still wanted to visit the herb garden, so he asked, "Now that the matter has been decided, what are your plans?"
There are still five days until the token competition, so there's no need to just wait here. We can go elsewhere and see if we can get some benefits.
The couple exchanged a glance, clearly seeing that the other still had somewhere to go. In fact, they did not want to take any risks. If they were injured or encountered powerful cultivators and had to leave early, they would not need to keep the things in the Heavenly Mystery Hall.
However, Zhang Lingyu had helped them a great deal, so they couldn't refuse. They asked, "We don't have any plans. If Fellow Daoist Zhang has anything else you wish to do, we are willing to accompany you."
"Hmm... I wonder if you two would like to take a look at the Spirit Herb Garden? It's not too far from here."
"Hmm... I wonder if you two would like to take a look at the Spirit Herb Garden? It's not too far from here."
"A garden of medicinal herbs..."
They also had a map, and the Spirit Herb Garden was a good choice, both in terms of its geographical location and its importance.
If one can obtain any valuable spiritual items from it, it would be a considerable windfall.
If they can think of this, how could others not? You can imagine how fierce the struggle will be.
Zhang Lingyu went there not only to see if he could make a fortune, but also to obtain important information from the intelligence system: deep within the area, there was a spiritual tree called the Phoenix Fruit Tree.
The Phoenix Fruit that grows on this tree is one of the many spiritual materials used to refine the Water Moon Bright Divine Pill. Although it is not as rare as the Water Curtain Heavenly Flower, it is still top-notch.
During his seclusion, he arranged for his family to inquire about information everywhere. Although there were many clues, they were often taken up by other families as soon as the news was released, leaving no opportunity for him to succeed.
Putting aside other factors, the Li, Meng, and Huang clans of Yuhu are the main force among them.
If these three families knew that there would be Phoenix Fruit in the Spirit Herb Garden, they would definitely rush to compete for it. The probability of this is very high, as the intelligence capabilities of the Golden Core families are not on the same level as theirs.
The map that Zhang Lingyu and his two companions went to great lengths to obtain might have been possessed by other major powers from the very beginning.
"The Danfeng fruit tree bears fruit once every two hundred years, with six fruits each time, so there's still a fairly good chance of getting one."
Not only the Phoenix Fruit, but he also wanted to obtain this spirit tree. If he could transplant it back to his family, it would be much easier to obtain the Water Curtain Heavenly Flower and refine the Water Moon Bright God Pill in the future.
Unfortunately, this idea is still not very realistic. It is impossible for one person to snatch this item from the mouths of so many forces.
Actually, there's another way: if you can't get it yourself, help the Li family get it. Then, based on this friendship, you might be able to get one or two coins each time you get them in the future.
After deciding on the strategy, he looked at the two of them and asked, "What have you two thought about it?"
"Since Fellow Daoist Zhang has invited us, we are naturally willing to accompany you. To be honest, we also want to see if we can obtain some spiritual herbs and fruits." After considering for a while, the couple finally nodded in agreement.
"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off now."
