In the dao books, Yi Zhou had seen some array formations, and at Azure Sun Academy, he had some basic knowledge of array formations.

However, other than the Spirit Sealing Array that was useful to cultivation in the past, Yi Zhou had never done any in-depth research, so he could only listen to Little Nine's instructions right now.

Little Nine, are you familiar with this formation? Yi Zhou asked.

I don't know, when I saw this, I felt like I could break it. Little Nine said excitedly.

Yi Zhou's heart immediately turned cold: You don't recognize this array, you're just confident?

I can do it.

Xiao Jiu did not hear the doubt in Yi Zhou's words and was excitedly calculating the right path to take.

Was it reliable?

Yi Zhou began to silently mourn for himself.

Left.

Right.

Retreat and enter.

Following Xiao Jiu's guidance, Yi Zhou realized that it was not fooling around.

For some paths, entering was a type of state. Entering after exiting would actually be vastly different.

Not long after, they arrived at a place that looked like a quagmire.

The black quagmire seemed unfathomable. It gave off the feeling that if one were to step into it, their entire body would sink in.

One last step!

Little Jiu announced excitedly.

How?

Yi Zhou was no longer worried and asked casually.

He jumped directly onto the opposite platform.

Little Nine pointed into the distance. In the middle of the quagmire, there was a white jade platform.

Yi Zhou looked at the distance, it was about twenty meters or so.

That simple?

Yi Zhou began to make preparations.

Simple? Xiao Jiu rolled his eyes at Yi Zhou, and continued: That platform can move, after you jump, it started to move.

Ah?

Yi Zhou was dumbstruck.

What's the problem with walking directly to the front of the platform? What if he didn't fall to the platform?

One more step and you will reach the range of a killing array. With your current cultivation, you will undoubtedly die. The magic array outside was meant to deal with those below the Liquid Level, and this killing array was meant to stop those below the Xuan Core realm.

Little Jiu said angrily.

Yi Zhou carefully looked down: "Is this a killing array?" He couldn't even deal with someone who wasn't at the Xuan Core realm?

At this point, you have to rely on yourself. I can't bring you here and you have to take the last step, can you? If I fail, I don't know the consequences.

Xiao Jiu once again sat on Yi Zhou's shoulder, waiting to see Yi Zhou's performance.

Yi Zhou secretly shook his head: It's obvious that this artifact spirit still despised me, the contract was only an act of helplessness.

Then he would use actual actions to prove his strength, even though proving it to a common treasure was meaningless.

Confusion Shadow!

Yi Zhou didn't know whether the stone platform in the distance had gained intelligence, whether it moved in a targeted direction based on his own jumping, or whether there was some kind of mysterious predetermined trajectory.

But Chaotic Shadow was his strongest movement technique, so he was more confident.

Sure enough, when Yi Zhou soared, the white jade platform started shaking. When Yi Zhou reached the highest point, the platform started to shake again. Obviously, they did not want Yi Zhou to find any patterns.

Just as Yi Zhou was about to descend, the platform started to flicker without a trace, its position floating erratically.

You must be toying with me!

This was the first time Yi Zhou felt resentment towards the original owner of the Secret Realm.

Complete Mental Energy!

Yi Zhou activated his Spirit Force with all his might.

Although compared to the range of the platforms, the area of effect of the mental force on the platform was extremely limited, but Yi Zhou still had a clear perception of the white jade platforms that would occasionally flash within his mental force.

Yi Zhou seemed to be looking at a picture, it was filled with specks of light, flickering and flickering.

This was the trajectory of the white jade platform!

Yi Zhou immediately understood.

Ah, wrong! Little Nine suddenly screamed.

It turned out that Yi Zhou had already started to descend, and the direction he was landing in, was completely empty.

The platform appeared in an extremely far place.

Just as Yi Zhou's feet were about to touch the quagmire, the white jade platform suddenly flashed and caught hold of Yi Zhou's body.

Phew, I succeeded!

Just as Yi Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, an irresistible killing intent suddenly descended!

The murderous intent shrouded Yi Zhou's body, it was deep and heavy, and actually made it difficult for Yi Zhou to breathe, he was unable to move.

Didn't they say that there would be no problems jumping here? How could there be such a strong killing intent?

Yi Zhou racked his brain trying to come up with a solution.

However, it was a set-up that was enough to kill someone beneath the profound core that was truly difficult for Yi Zhou to resist.

It was as if the very next moment, he would be struck by lightning!

This isn't right, it doesn't conform to the rules set by the master!

Little Jiu suddenly protested loudly.

Do you even know the master? So what's your relationship with this man now?

A deep voice came from the jade platform.

This platform also had an artifact spirit!

Yi Zhou was once again shocked. He had actually already met three artifact spirits out of ten thousand.

He and I are only in an equal partnership. I am determined to go out and avenge my master!

Little Jiu said loudly, aggrieved.

In that case, I'll be wrong about you. You must succeed!

After a long while, a deep voice rang out once more.

The original master of Secret Realm, what kind of existence was that! It truly deserved to be called using a weapon to step into the Dao. The birth of an artifact spirit was simply too easy, wasn't it?

In terms of weapons, one in a billion.

This was common knowledge on the path of artifacts. Usually, under various lucky coincidences, after sufficient time of nurturing, there was a chance that the artifact would gain intelligence.

The original owner of this Secret Realm must have grasped some kind of unknown method that could make the artifacts here more likely to gain intelligence.

Just as Yi Zhou was unsure of what to do next, he suddenly smelled the scent of medicine.

He suddenly realized that the mud around the white jade platform had begun to change.

Herbs sprouted from the quagmire one after another, standing tall against the wind.

All kinds of plants, red and green, thick and thin, densely packed together, covered the entire quagmire.

Yi Zhou looked around, full of vitality and joy.

So this quagmire was the spiritual garden they were looking for.

Yi Zhou had also learned how to identify all kinds of heaven and earth treasures, as well as things related to spirit medicine. However, Yi Zhou actually did not recognize any of the various plants in the spirit bed at all!

There was no mention of them in the academy's textbooks. It was obvious that the levels of these medicinal herbs had already surpassed those of ordinary Spiritual Beings.

Yi Zhou began to flip through the Dao book < The Most Powerful Sacred Emperor's Scripture > in his mind.

The Supreme Force Saint King Scripture was the author of a Dao book's travel history. The Supreme Force Saint King had already reached the Saint level and was only a step away from becoming the ruler of the outside world. The medicinal herbs that he had specially recorded would definitely be extraordinary items.

Spirit Summoning Grass!

Yi Zhou finally found an item recorded in a dao book.

Spirit Summoning Grass, its fruit could naturally absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Whether it was used in alchemy or refining, it had an extremely important effect.

After the fruit was added into the pill, one could still absorb spiritual energy to form a protective spiritual film to protect the medicinal effects. Some of these pills could still be used after thousands of years, and the Spirit Purging Grass Fruit was one of the key ingredients.

As for the fruits used in artifact forging, it was much easier to produce a spirit artifact.

Merely by looking at a single medicinal plant, Yi Zhou already knew that the level of the medicinal ingredients in the spirit nursery had already exceeded his imagination.

What kind of medicinal ingredients grow in this spirit garden?

Yi Zhou asked excitedly.

From Yi Zhou's point of view, almost all of the Spirit Orchids could be considered his own alone.

It didn't matter what kind of land it grew on. It was just that your luck didn't seem too good.

Little Nine shook his head regretfully.

What does bad luck mean? Yi Zhou was a little shocked.

His ecstatic mood began to calm down a little. Little Nine was a native of this place, and since he wasn't optimistic, then things were clearly not as he had expected.

You can't take away the herbs here. Once they leave this soil, they won't grow anymore. This place is going to be destroyed soon, so you'd better look carefully and see if there are any fruits.

Xiao Jiu looked at Yi Zhou sympathetically: "If you didn't have the fruit, you would just be enjoying the show."

Ah?

Yi Zhou never thought that the situation would turn out like this: If there were no ripe fruits, he would gain nothing at all.

Looking at the red and green fields, Yi Zhou prayed in his heart and started to look through them one by one.

No.

No.

No!

Yi Zhou was a little mad, all these rare Spirit Grasses were still growing and had not produced their final fruit.

Was he really going to be in for nothing?

Yi Zhou had already inspected more than half of the Spirit Orchids, but he still could not find any fruits.

When Yi Zhou finished looking at the last area, he was already at a loss.

No fruits!

From extreme excitement to extreme disappointment, Yi Zhou was currently experiencing two extremes.

That's not right!

Yi Zhou suddenly felt that something was amiss, and anxiously returned to the place he just went.

Amongst the flourishing plants, there was a herb that was slightly darker in color.

If they were the same, the color wouldn't be so different.

Yi Zhou leaned forward and used his hands to brush away the green leaves that covered the area, searching carefully.

Because Yi Zhou had exhausted a lot of his mental energy during the battle with the jade platform, he was no longer able to maintain his complete mental force. Therefore, he could only rely on ordinary methods to search for it.

Finally, Yi Zhou noticed the abnormality.

The few similar plants here were all of five leaves, while the darker plant was of seven leaves.

When Yi Zhou flipped open a leaf, he shockingly found a fruit.

The fruit was inconspicuous, hidden beneath the leaves of the trees, a dark gray color, and no bigger than half the size of a finger.

These are fruits, right?

From the moment Yi Zhou started searching for the fruits, Xiao Jiu had been silent, he only moved back and forth on Yi Zhou's shoulders.

Yi Zhou had a faint feeling in his heart that this artifact spirit seemed to be doing some sort of investigation.

Could it be that Xiao Jiu truly wants to acknowledge me as his master? However, there is a world of difference between my realm and its original owner's, let alone the existence of an even stronger enemy.
