Chapter 427 Ch 427: Stealing The Herbs

Ling Xiaolong and Bai Lushi conversed for a few hours.

Ling Xiaolong learned many things from her, including various facts about the Emperor Flame Sect. He also discovered how she could break the effect of the Twin-headed Nether Python's Essence Blood and regain control over her cultivation.

The Emperor Flame Sect housed a place called Verdant Serenity Grove, within which lay the Celestial Herb Garden—a captivating collection of rare and potent herbs infused with the essence of Celestial Energy and Origin Energy.

Cultivators who tread carefully through this mystical grove could uncover an array of botanical treasures, each possessing unique properties.

One notable herb within the Celestial Herb Garden was the Luminescent Seraphroot. This herb had vibrant azure petals that emitted a soft, celestial glow, and its slender stems shimmered with an otherworldly radiance. Identifying it was relatively easy.

Due to its rarity, Luminescent Seraphroot held significant value.

According to Bai Lushi, this herb could help her break the effect of the Twin-headed Nether Python's Essence Blood.

Ling Xiaolong promptly decided to assist Bai Lushi. Since he was already at odds with the Emperor Flame Sect, there was no need for hesitation. He could simply seize the extremely rare herb from the Emperor Flame Sect. If they dared to stand in his way, he would dispatch them to hell.

After all, they are his enemies. The moment they see him, it'll be a situation where only one of them can leave alive.

Ling Xiaolong also inquired whether Bai Lushi knew the location of Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling.

To his surprise, Bai Lushi indeed knew the location and pledged to guide him there. However, it was entirely up to Ling Xiaolong to persuade Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling to assist him in accomplishing the task he had in mind. She couldn't assist him in that matter.

Ling Xiaolong readily agreed and decided to first visit the Emperor Flame Sect to discreetly acquire the Luminescent Seraphroot.

Initially hesitant, Bai Lushi eventually agreed. Regardless of the situation, she had to regain control over her cultivation base, and in the current situation, only Ling Xiaolong could help her.

Ling Xiaolong asked for the location of the Emperor Flame Sect and then instructed Bai Lushi to wait for him. After that, he vanished.

About an hour later, he stood about a mile away from the Emperor Flame Sect, clearly observing the sect from a distance.

Because the Emperor Flame Sect housed many Masters of Chaos, Ling Xiaolong refrained from using his Divine Sense to scan. Instead, he cautiously observed the sect's entrance for a few minutes before directly appearing there.

Strangely, no one saw Ling Xiaolong or sensed his presence. It was as if he didn't exist.

This was made possible by the Eyes of Illusion.

Ling Xiaolong used his Eyes of Illusion to make himself imperceptible to everyone.

He discreetly passed the front gate and entered the Emperor Flame Sect. The Celestial Sovereign Realm guards couldn't see or detect him, so they didn't react when he walked by.

Upon entering the Emperor Flame Sect, Ling Xiaolong initiated his investigation to locate Verdant Serenity Grove, where the Celestial Herb Garden was situated.

Rather than directly asking around, Ling Xiaolong chose to eavesdrop on conversations between disciples.

With tens of thousands of disciples in the Emperor Flame Sect, the Celestial Herb Garden was a renowned location, and it was likely that some disciples would be discussing it. However, monitoring the conversations of such a vast number of disciples was practically impossible.

To address this challenge, Ling Xiaolong decided to visit the alchemy hall within the sect.

As anticipated, he soon found three disciples planning to enter the Celestial Herb Garden to harvest herbs for pill refinement.

Silently tailing them, Ling Xiaolong entered the Verdant Serenity Grove.

Very soon, they reached the heart of Verdant Serenity Grove.

There, a breathtaking sight unfolded as they entered the Celestial Herb Garden. The atmosphere here was thick with the sweet fragrance of blossoming flowers, and the air shimmered with the subtle glow of celestial energy and origin energy interwoven with the vibrant hues of emerald and gold.

The gardens spread out like a magical painting, where each herb is carefully placed to create a beautiful pattern. It's like a mesmerizing tapestry made of lush green life. Herbs with petals resembling starry light, sway gracefully in the breeze.

The herbs here seemed to exude a gentle luminescence, casting a soft radiance that illuminated the surroundings. Among so many herbs here, there are rare ones that shimmer like precious gems, hinting at the special and magical qualities they possess.

In this haven of tranquility, the Celestial Herb Gardens emanated a palpable sense of vitality and harmony. The ground beneath was a soft carpet of moss that yielded beneath each step, creating an almost ethereal sensation of walking on air. The occasional melodious chirping of unseen birds and the distant rustle of leaves added a symphony to the serene ambiance.

In this peaceful haven, the Celestial Herb Garden gave off a strong feeling of life and harmony. The ground was covered in a soft moss that felt almost like walking on air. Occasionally, one can hear the pleasant chirping of birds and the gentle rustle of leaves, creating a natural melody.

In addition to herbs, Ling Xiaolong also saw several Celestial Sovereigns in the garden. These powerful individuals were meticulously tending to the herbs, showcasing both their strength and care for the precious plants.

In the sea of herbs, Ling Xiaolong started looking for Luminescent Seraphroot. He could recognize it with the appearance described by Bai Lushi very easily.

However, because Luminescent Seraphroot is an extremely rare treasured plant, there should be very few of them, maybe one or two. So, finding them in the sea of herbs is not that easy.

Ling Xiaolong also sensed a vast and intricate formation enveloping the entire Celestial Herb Garden. This formation served not only to sustain a continuous flow of Celestial and Origin Energies but also to shield the herbs from external threats.

A protective barrier encircled the Celestial Herb Garden, derived from the influence of this formidable formation. Without a specific key, entry or exit was impossible.

Having followed the three Celestial Sovereigns, Ling Xiaolong entered when they slightly opened a gap in the barrier using their key.

Now, his primary task was to locate the Luminescent Seraphroot.

Due to the formation's detection capabilities, Ling Xiaolong was unable to scan the herbs directly. Otherwise, he could have discovered the Luminescent Seraphroot in a matter of a mere second.

With the help of his Eyes of Illusion, he maintained his invisibility to others. He kept looking for the Luminescent Seraphroot for a very long time, ultimately finding this rare herb swaying proudly with the soft blow of wind.

As Ling Xiaolong had anticipated, there were only three of these herbs in the entire Celestial Herb Garden. These three herbs were growing together.

For the safeguarding of these three particular herbs, Ling Xiaolong saw three additional smaller formations, each dedicated to protecting one of the herbs. This evident care taken to protect these specific herbs could emphasize how highly the Emperor Flame Sect valued them.

Ling Xiaolong only needed one of them, however, since the Emperor Flame Sect was at odds with him, he decided to take all of them.

Just as he extended his hands to the herbs, something flashed in his mind and the extended hand stopped.

An external glow of green appeared on the layer of white in his eyes. The white glow represented the Eyes of Illusion while green represented the Eyes of Insight.

Ling Xiaolong soon detected something more with the help of Eyes of Insight. It turned out that a specific key is also needed to pluck Luminescent Seraphroots. Otherwise, the guarding elder, a Master of Chaos Realm warrior, will notice him the moment he touches the herb.

Feeling relieved, Ling Xiaolong was grateful for his thorough examination of the formation using the Eyes of Insight.

Previously, as he reached out to pluck the Luminescent Seraphroot, a question crossed his mind.

Considering the special care given to these three herbs, stealing them couldn't be easy.

This led Ling Xiaolong to the idea of using the Eyes of Insight, which indeed proved to be very helpful, preventing him from potential troubles had he been detected by the guardian elder.

Ling Xiaolong first studied the formation carefully. It didn't take long for him to learn the formation with the help of Eyes of Insight.

Then he proceeded to break the formation and easily plucked them, storing them in his spatial ring.

He did not leave immediately after stealing the three Luminescent Seraphroot. He looked around and stole a few more herbs. These herbs were Moonshadow Sage Vine, Solarflare Petal,and Eternal Nectar Lily.

The reason he stole these three herbs was because they could help him in his next breakthrough. That way, he could advance and become a Master of Chaos in a very short time, within the next ten years.

Advancing from the Ninth Stage of the Celestial Sovereign Realm to Master of Chaos in merely ten years was a pace that surpassed anyone's imagination.

From the birth of Chaos till now, No one has ever been able to achieve this kind of space.

Now that he was done, he directly teleported out of the Emperor Flame Sect.
