He brought the three future Sect Leader s out this time to experience and communicate with each other. Only then would they have more opportunities to work together in the future.

Under the guidance of the three of them, the group of disciples headed towards the summit of mountain.

The summit of mountain was several hundred meters tall and everyone present was a friar. The weakest was at the seventh floor of the zhenqi so naturally they would not climb the mountain.

Chen Feng, Ling Yun and Wu Hong, the three of them all used Inborn Technique, with a tap of their feet, their entire bodies flew like a bird, instantly soaring ten meters, borrowing the force from the mountainside to once again increase in height.

After borrowing force a few times, he had already reached the summit of mountain.

Immediately after, a group of friar s in the tenth floor of the zhenqi flew up with a tap of their feet.

Everyone followed, Zi Chen, Lin Xue, Su Mengyao and the rest were at the back.

At the same time, Zi Chen also saw that the cold-looking young man was also following behind her. Both parties once again looked at each other, and Zi Chen nodded towards the other in good faith.

"Let's go." Miao Kong took a step forward, and his figure instantly flashed forward, as if he had flown. In an instant, he spanned seventy to eighty meters, and his Cultivation Methods was not the slightest bit weaker than Chen Feng's group from before. Furthermore, he did not borrow any strength from the air as he stomped on his right leg with his left foot, and flew up once again.

"Zi Chen, this friend of yours is not simple." Su Mengyao's beautiful eyes had a hint of splendor, as she said indifferently.

"This light footwork is indeed not simple." Once again witnessing Miao Kong's technique that could lighten the body, Zi Chen was dumbstruck.

It could be said that among the several hundred people, Miao Kong was the only one who did not need any external help to reach summit of mountain.

Immediately after, Su Mengyao sprung up, and the white robe fluttered as if he was a fairy who was riding on the wind to return.

"Damn, it's the Inborn Technique again." Seeing the elegant Su Mengyao, Zi Chen couldn't help but exclaim. Being compared in terms of people was really infuriating, since he possessed three First Rated Combat Technique s, he considered himself to be very talented. However, he never expected that the other party would actually use Inborn Technique.

"Zi Chen, go." Lin Xue pulled Zi Chen and soared into the sky. In a short span of time, Lin Xue had already comprehended the true meaning of the Second-Rate Combat Technique, and could almost see through true essence.

"There really are a lot of geniuses." Zi Chen sighed in his heart, the pride he had brought from his breakthrough in a short period of time was slowly dissipating today.

This was because not only were geniuses gathered in the Spirit Martial Sect, at the same time, there were also geniuses in the Zhan Wu Zong and the Black Turtle Sect. Just the light footwork alone was enough to make people's eyes light up.

Amongst the hundreds of people, there were three, six, nine different levels to the footwork. Zi Chen's true essence s, Floating Cloud Step, were also nine different levels.

Hundreds of people gathered in summit of mountain, making it very crowded.

At the very front, the three elders and the three future Sect Leader s were standing in a crowd of open area, enjoying everyone's gaze.

The cracks had stabilized, the medicinal herb garden should have opened, but the elders did not say anything, so everyone waited. Some people could already guess that these were the elders who were building up momentum for the three future Sect Leader s.

"This is the third time that the medicinal herb garden has been activated. It's been decades." Looking at the crack in front of him, the first elder suddenly let out a soft sigh.

"Not bad, you're doing the same as before?" Elder Ge turned his head.

"Haha, since I have nothing better to do, I might as well make a small bet." Elder Zhang also smiled.

"Alright, what should we bet on this time? A Zhen Yuan Dan?" The Great Elder smiled and remained calm and collected.

A Zhen Yuan Dan could let a Fighter with Great Perfection of Inborn Stage break through to the Genuine Essence Stage.

"That won't do, Elder Chen, you have come once, and last time it was your Spirit Martial Sect that won. This time it was the first time we opened the medicinal herb garden, so we were curious about how a mere Zhen Yuan Dan could do it." Elder Zhang said.

"Oh, then what are you betting on?"

"We will bet on a Zhen Yuan Dan and a True Origin Skill. Our Zhan Wu Zong will also take out the Ardent Flame Technique."

"Our Black Turtle Sect will take out the Black Rock Art."

"Haha." The laughed, "You guys are really scheming. Take out the Flame Technique and the Black Rock Art, what do you want from us Spirit Martial Sect?"

"Of course it's your Spirit Martial Sect's Rolling Cloud Record." The two elders smiled, "Elder Chen wouldn't be unwilling, right?"

"Of course I am willing. Since you are willing to give me a true essence skill, I will naturally accept it." The Great Elder laughed.

"Haha, alright then."

After the bet was discussed, the three elders guessed that the three future Sect Leader s would receive a lot of attention, so they decided to let open area go, and turned to look at the disciples behind them.

"When the medicinal herb garden is opened this time, all they have to do is to collect herbal medicine s. The five who obtain the most herbal medicine will receive the rewards from the Inborn Pill, which of the three sects obtains the most herbal medicine, doubling the number of Contribution Points. But you must remember, you only have half a year's time. You must come out after half a year. " The three elders spoke in unison.

Cheers came from the crowd.

Doubling the number of Contribution Points was an extremely generous reward.

"Alright, then let your senior speak."

The three future Sect Leader s stood forward and said in a clear voice: "All junior brothers must consider safety as their priority, preserving your lives is more important. medicinal herb garden is very dangerous, everyone must remember to focus on safety …."

The three talked for nearly a quarter of an hour before finally stopping amidst the enthusiastic cheers.

medicinal herb garden opened, and everyone entered.

"Huala!"

Like a flood, the disciples swarmed towards the crack.

There were fewer and fewer people in summit of mountain, and after fifteen minutes, there were only six left.

"Haha, let's wait quietly." The Great Eldest laughed as he sat down cross-legged beside the crevice.

The same was true for the other two Elders.

As for the other three future Sect Leader, they would sit together and chat and get to know each other.

As he stepped into the crevice, his vision turned pitch black. As if he had stepped on thin air, Zi Chen staggered and couldn't help but fall to the ground.

Zi Chen leaned forward and consecutively walked a few steps through the air before his eyes lit up.

He had come to a strange place.

He discovered that he was standing on top of a mound. In front of him was a vast plain, and on the ground was a meter tall green grass.

Without waiting for Zi Chen to carefully observe his surroundings, he saw a herbal medicine in front of him.

It was as red as blood, with flowers that looked like bloody crowns. It was about half a meter tall, and grew in the middle of the green grass.

"This is the sanguinarum fructus. It's about fifty years old." Zi Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. At the same time, he saw many red lights within the green color.

"So many?" In the front, back and forth, there were about a dozen or so red dots of light emitting from the green grass. Zi Chen was somewhat shocked by this number.

"With a single glance, I can see more than a dozen herbal medicine. Where exactly is this place?" Zi Chen was extremely shocked. He took a deep breath, and only then did Zi Chen realize that this air contained extremely dense Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and their density was at least two to three times that of the outside world.

"One day of cultivation here is equivalent to three days of cultivation in the outside world. Not only is this place full of herbal medicine, it is also a good place for quiet cultivation." After staying here for a few breaths of time, Zi Chen realised that he had fallen for it and was not willing to leave.

"To others, fifty years of herbal medicine is not something that can be harvested, but it does not include me." Zi Chen's heart stirred. With a tap of his feet, he soared into the sky, flying towards the sanguinarum fructus closest to him.

However, before Zi Chen could even land on the ground, he saw a red rope that was as thick as a thumb wrapped around the root of the sanguinarum fructus.

"Not good, this is a blood snake." Zi Chen's expression instantly changed. Only now did he remember that the sanguinarum fructus's guardian, the blood snake, was already too late. When he saw the red rope, the other party had already started attacking.

A red light flashed, and the blood snake left the sanguinarum fructus, flying towards Zi Chen. In an instant, it had reached Zi Chen's right hand, which was deep within its body.

"Crack!"

But right after that, there was the sound of teeth breaking, and the two sharp teeth of the blood snake broke.

Zi Chen landed on the ground and grabbed onto the blood snake like lightning. After that, he suddenly paused, and the latter split into two, and after struggling for a bit on the ground, it stopped moving.

"I almost forgot, my physique is not something that a small blood snake like you can break through." Zi Chen chuckled and took off the fifty year old sanguinarum fructus. Zi Chen did not touch its rhizome, but many years later, it would grow back again.

Possessing a strong physique, Zi Chen's luck was obviously very good. He had broken the teeth of the blood snake, but the others didn't have that kind of luck.

"Ah …" "I was poisoned." Just as Zi Chen was about to swallow the sanguinarum fructus, he heard a roar coming from afar.

"The blood snake's poison is very strong, but if you kill it quickly and swallow that snake gall, you can still live." Zi Chen muttered, and then swallowed the sanguinarum fructus in one gulp.

After that, without stopping, Zi Chen walked straight ahead.

Due to the lack of time, he stopped refining the sanguinarum fructus. Instead, he allowed the Spiritual Energy to enter his body, be absorbed by his heart, and turn into pure energy that flowed into his body.

In this plain, Zi Chen was currently undergoing a metamorphosis. With every step he took, his strength became stronger than before, and the strength of a mid-stage seventh floor was also advancing towards the late stage under the attacks of these sanguinarum fructus s.

Half a day later, Zi Chen had already swallowed more than a dozen sanguinarum fructus. Its pure energy directly transported Zi Chen's strength to the peak of seven layers, and was not far from the eighth floor.

As the sky darkened, Zi Chen increased his speed. The plains at night were very dangerous, other than the blood snake s, there might be other dangers waiting for them.

Even though he had increased his speed, Zi Chen still had not walked out of the plains when night fell.

Taking advantage of the time when the sky was still clear, Zi Chen ate some dry rations and found a hill that was tall like a green grass. He stopped and sat cross-legged, but he did not cultivate.

Nightfall. Tonight, there was neither a star nor a moon. One could not see his five fingers in front of him.

A breeze blew, causing the green grass to let out a rustling sound.

A blood snake with a body as thick as an arm and as long as two meters, emitting a dense red glow was swimming between the green grass. The rustling of the wind covered the sound of the blood snake.

This was a dangerous night, and the death rate in human cultivator was greatly increased because at night, the King Serpent of Blood Refinement had made their move.

The blood snake that was wandering amongst the green grass, suddenly saw a human on top of a mound with a pair of scarlet red eyes.

Zi Chen was stared at by a pair of ice-cold eyes.
