Chapter 626 Not a Blade of Grass Left
"The people here should be long gone."
Yao Ling walked around here for a while and then came back to say this.
"Yes, the things left behind were probably taken away too."
Ning Qi nodded and turned his attention ahead: "Let's go take a look ahead."
He said that as he left, he crossed the open space in front of him.
This time, we successfully arrived at the foot of the mountain behind us.
The open space here is filled with all sorts of rare and precious plants from other places.
"This is……"
Yao Ling stared wide-eyed at the grass in front of her.
"These rare and precious herbs are full of spiritual energy."
Ning Qi also noticed the problem and couldn't help but say, "This can't be something unique to the Immortal Realm, can it?"
"Yes Master."
Yao Ling nodded with difficulty, pointed to a celestial herb and said, "This is the Illusionary Spirit Herb. It bears fruit once every ten thousand years, and one fruit can transform a person completely."
"Oh? It has this effect too."
Ning Qi was curious, so he squatted down to take a look.
"But it's useless against you now, you've already reached the Golden Immortal level."
The spirit continued, "But eating it will also restore your strength. In battle, you can use one to unleash your divine power."
"Hmm, what about these?"
Ning Qi pointed to the immortal herb in front of him.
They're everywhere here, all over the hillside.
"Master, there's just too much to say, there's too much to cover."
"Each one is priceless."
Looking at the rare and exotic herbs before him, Yao Ling continued, "Even when Buzhou Mountain was still here, I never saw so many herbs."
"Who did this?"
"I don't know, but we can take them all."
Yao Ling rubbed his hands together, revealing a greedy look.
"Shi Xiaokun, come out."
Ning Qi greeted him with a smile.
"Owner!"
Soon, Shi Xiaokun condensed a strand of soul power from his sea of consciousness.
Upon arriving and seeing the scene before him, he widened his eyes in astonishment.
"Can we bring all the magical herbs here into our inner realm?"
Ning Qi pointed to the immortal herbs here and asked in a deep voice.
“That’s easy, we can take it in.”
After surveying the situation, Shi Xiaokun analyzed, "There are no array restrictions here, so we can easily take it away."
"Okay, then I'll take it."
Ning Qi nodded and gave the order.
"Yes, Master."
After Shi Xiaokun agreed, he began to take action.
In the blink of an eye, they collected all the rare and precious herbs and plants here.
The once lush green hillside suddenly became bare.
The entire hillside has sunk several meters deep.
Upon seeing this, Ning Qi instantly opened his Sumeru Space.
He then went directly to his inner world.
Ning Qi then spotted a direction and disappeared in a flash.
Soon they arrived at an open meadow.
At that moment, Shi Xiaokun placed the harvested lawn here.
"Master, look!"
“This is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy. I will set up another spirit-gathering array here.”
"It can make them grow more lush."
Shi Xiaokun said to Ning Qi with a smile.
"Okay, not bad, then I'll leave this place to you!"
Ning Qi nodded in satisfaction and then asked, "Is there anything else you need here?"
"Master, what do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaokun couldn't help but ask.
"To develop this place, don't we need more people and resources?"
Ning Qi asked.
"It's not needed for now, there are already people here, but it will take a while."
Shi Xiaokun shook his head, revealing a confident expression.
"Oh, someone's already here?"
Ning Qi became curious.
"Yes, it's the inner world of that World Spirit from last time."
"Didn't the Old Realm Lord give us his original power?"
Shi Xiaokun nodded and then explained, "I used these, along with the soul power from his inner world, to create the unique life forms that exist here."
"When they grow up, they can be used by us."
"This is the source of the incense offerings for our realm!"
"Hmm, not bad. I didn't expect that I could actually create the human race myself."
Ning Qi said with great satisfaction.
“Master, this actually consumes a lot of our academy’s power.”
"However, you have to give up something to gain something."
“They identify with our place.”
"This is their root."
Shi Xiaokun said seriously, "Even if we send them out in the future, they will not betray us! Because their life and soul power originate from here."
"If they betray us, they will die and lose all their strength."
"Okay, then you can continue building this place."
"Let me know if you need anything."
"I will do everything I can to solve these problems."
Ning Qi glanced in the direction of the entrance and gave instructions.
"Yes, Master!"
Shi Xiaokun respectfully accepted the order.
Ning Qi nodded, then slipped away.
He left the inner realm and naturally arrived at the Sumeru space.
This place is actually separate from the inner world, but you can clearly see everything in the inner world from here.
This place is like a barrier that allows one to peek into the inner world.
Ning Qi was very satisfied with this place.
After taking one look, he immediately disappeared from the Sumeru Space.
They returned to the outside world once again.
"call!"
A gust of wind blew by, making the place appear somewhat desolate.
This place was originally covered in lush green grass, but Ning Qi has already taken away all the magical herbs here.
"Owner!"
The medicine spirit that was just looking for resources here has also returned.
"So, any other discoveries?"
Ning Qi turned his head and asked in a deep voice.
“Master, there’s nothing else for now. I think the most important thing around this valley is this Immortal Grass.”
Yao Ling shook her head and analyzed the situation seriously.
"Well, in that case, let's go."
Ning Qi nodded, and then turned back along the same route.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived in the outside world.
It's another place where yellow sand fills the sky.
"Master, should we continue forward?"
Looking ahead, Yao Ling couldn't help but say, "I feel like there's nothing more ahead."
"Moreover, I always feel there is some danger ahead."
"It felt like someone was deliberately waiting for us to arrive."
"Yes, I feel the same way, except it's not just a feeling, it's a fact!"
Ning Qi nodded in deep agreement, and then continued his analysis: "From the initial passage, and the immortal herbs here."
"This is enough to prove that someone did this on purpose!"
"His purpose in attracting experts here is unknown."
“Master, if that’s the case, then we might have already been overtaken from the very beginning.”
After hearing his words, Yao Ling felt a chill run down her spine.
Looking up at the path they had come from, they couldn't help but shrink back. "Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. We can't give up so easily until we find something useful."
Ning Qi was very persistent and continued, "We will definitely be able to get here first and find something."
"Master, how can you be so sure that the resources we need are here?"
The spirit of medicine couldn't help but ask.
"intuition."
Ning Qi smiled and continued forward.
His current strength has reached the fifth rank of Golden Immortal, and he can roam freely even in the void of the Boundary Sea.
Not to mention in this desert environment, it has absolutely no effect on him.
The spirit of medicine hid directly in his dantian, avoiding any contact with the environment.
Ning Qi walked for a while in the desert and gradually discovered...
The yellow sand here is gradually decreasing, and even the wind is starting to weaken.
Gradually, the desert here began to turn into the Gobi Desert again.
"Master, are we back again?"
The spirit of medicine emerged again, and looking at the surroundings, a solemn expression appeared on its face.
"No, this is another direction."
"It's just that there are neighbors all around here, which is why you have this misconception."
Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "Let's go and see what else is ahead."
"it is good!"
This time, Yao Ling did not continue to hide.
Instead, they began searching here with Ning Qi.
Gradually, they arrived in the heart of the Gobi Desert.
"Master, it's getting dark soon. Should we continue searching?"
Looking at the sky here, Yao Ling couldn't help but ask.
"It's strange, there's no one left."
"Why do we still need to keep this place running day and night?"
Ning Qi thought for a moment and then said, "Unless there are rare and precious natural treasures here, it really doesn't make sense."
"Yes, it's a pity we don't know if it's in our direction."
"After all, quite a few of them came, and perhaps some of them have already obtained the treasure."
Yao Ling nodded and echoed her words.
"That's not necessarily true, but let's find a place to rest anyway."
"I always feel unsafe here at night!"
Ning Qi looked around and then pointed in the direction of a cliff ahead.
"Shall we go here?"
Yao Ling looked over and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yes, this place is high up, so even if something happens, we can spot it immediately."
Ning Qi nodded, then sped up.
Carrying the medicine spirit, they soon arrived at the edge of the cliff.
Standing on the cliff edge, gazing into the distance.
Directly in front of him was the path they had just come from.
Here, they are still surrounded by yellow sand, and on their other side is another direction of the Gobi Desert.
Ahead, beyond the Gobi Desert, some forests gradually came into view.
And then there are the mountain ranges that gradually rise from the ground, stretching out in a continuous line.
From this distance, it looks like a giant dragon lying down and sleeping.
On this mountain ridge, ripples shimmered and swayed.
"Master, there must be an unparalleled treasure within these mountains!"
Seeing the situation before him, Yao Ling couldn't help but say, "Otherwise, this would never have happened."
"Well, then it seems we haven't gone in the wrong direction."
Ning Qi nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
Sometimes, following your intuition is the right choice.
If I had been persuaded by Yao Ling in the first place, perhaps I wouldn't have encountered all of this.
"Master, let's do it tomorrow then."
“I always feel something is off about this kind of place.”
Yao Ling looked around and a solemn expression appeared on her face.
"Yes, I'll set up our Ruoshui Three Thousand Formation."
"Go and check the surroundings to see what else is going on!"
Ning Qi nodded, and then began to take action.
"Yes, Master!"
After Yao Ling agreed, she leaped down.
Start by checking the situation in the vicinity.
Ning Qi sat cross-legged and took out his storage bag.
They took out the spiritual essence and other rare and precious materials that had been used to decorate it.
Then we started setting it up.
Previously, when Ning Qi was at the True Immortal level, he was able to set up the Ruoshui Three Thousand Formation.
Now that he has reached the strength of a Golden Immortal, setting up more profound formations is not a problem for him.
Under his arrangement, a powerful pressure gradually began to surge here.
Some unsuspecting birds flew by, only to be instantly turned into a bloody mist by the immense pressure.
Some of the rocks on the mountain have started to crack.
This is all because they couldn't withstand Ning Qi's powerful formation.
After half an hour, Ning Qi finally relaxed.
It's obvious that this place has already been set up.
"Master, I have checked this place and there is nothing unusual. We can rest here in peace."
Just then, Yao Ling arrived and reported his findings to Ning Qi.
"Okay, time to rest!"
Ning Qi nodded, then sat cross-legged again.
After all that commotion, the sky had completely darkened.
Ning Qi withdrew his divine sense, then found a bluestone slab and sat down on it.
Begin regulating your breathing and meditating.
Yao Ling, meanwhile, took out the immortal herbs he had stolen earlier.
It began to absorb the life force and pure spiritual energy within it.
It was soon past midnight, and Ning Qi had already taken a nap.
I was just woken up by the medicine spirit.
He first stretched, then began to observe the situation.
Nothing had changed since he went to sleep, but he always felt a dangerous aura lingering around him.
However, when Ning Qi spread his divine sense, he couldn't detect anything.
This made him frown.
"Who exactly is he? Even with my strength as a fifth-grade Golden Immortal, I cannot detect his location."
Ning Qi simply stood up and then looked into the depths of the void.
'Whoosh.'
At that moment, he captured something.
In this void, a life form with its entire body shrouded in black mist appeared.
They seemed to be able to sense Ning Qi's presence.
Before Ning Qi could even explore, they had already completely disappeared.
"Strange, who are all these people?"
Ning Qi looked ahead and couldn't help but feel curious.
However, he had no intention of going over to investigate.
After all, this place is not safe, and if we act rashly, we are very likely to be ambushed.
Perhaps this is something someone deliberately wanted to lure me to.
Ning Qi's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.
That means no matter what, we absolutely cannot go there.
"Master, what are you looking at?"
Yao Ling also woke up.
Upon noticing Ning Qi staring intently at one spot without moving, they immediately became worried.
Only then did he come over to ask what was going on.
"I always feel like someone is watching us from the night sky!"
"We were like prey."
Ning Qi's expression was grave as he pointed ahead and said, "Especially here, the situation is the most serious."
"Huh? Is anyone else here? Let me check!"
The spirit medicine exclaimed in surprise, then continued. (End of Chapter)
