Chapter 783: Sword Spirit Grass, Separate Operations

“Huh…?”
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Qian Mengchen, and the others all had their eyes narrowed.
The two beams of light, one red and one yellow, were actually shot out from two plants.
Their power seemed to be comparable to a normal strike from a Void Returning Divine Lord.
“What’s going on? Could it be that the plants here have the ability to attack?”
Jiang Chengxuan and the others were somewhat surprised.
If that was indeed the case, then the level of danger here was far beyond their estimation.
Clang!
With a flick of his fingers, Jiang Chengxuan effortlessly dissipated the two beams of light aimed at them.
Rustle-
Just as Jiang Chengxuan dispersed the two beams of light with his finger strength, the two plants, one red and one yellow, suddenly extended their branches and leaves.
Then, with a swishing sound, two sword qi were shot directly at Jiang Chengxuan once again.
“Huh?”
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and the others were once again surprised.
Qian Mengchen suddenly said, “I think I know what these are.
They are Sword Spirit Grass, a special kind of spiritual plant that can generate sword qi to attack others.”
“Sword Spirit Grass?”
Jiang Chengxuan and the others were taken aback.
Quickly, Jiang Chengxuan again nullified the sword qi and cast a spell to restrain the two Sword Spirit Grass plants.
Qian Mengchen nodded.
“It’s said that this grass disappeared from our Celestial Floodgate Realm tens of thousands of years ago.
It’s unexpected that we would encounter such spiritual plants here in the Immortal Peak cave abode.”
“Then may I ask Fairy Mengchen, besides being able to attack others with sword qi, does this Sword Spirit Grass have any other special uses?” Shen Ruyan asked.
Hearing her question, Qian Mengchen nodded.
“Yes, it is said that this grass can be used to refine Sword Heart Pills, a type of pill that can help sword cultivators enhance their perception and consolidate their sword heart.”
“Sword Heart Pill?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were shocked.
Clearly, they were aware that the Sword Heart Pill mentioned by Qian Mengchen was not any ordinary pill but an immensely valuable one for sword cultivators.
Some sword cultivators were even willing to exchange Spiritual Treasures for it.
“It seems this central island not only harbors numerous dangers but also many opportunities.”
As they spoke, the group collected the restrained Sword Spirit Grass.
Despite its attack power being comparable to that of a Void Returning level, the grass lacked intelligence.
Anyone at the Void Returning realm could easily subdue it.
“Fairy Mengchen, let’s get our share of the gains according to our respective abilities. What do you think?”
Jiang Chengxuan looked towards Qian Mengchen and smiled as he made the suggestion.
The implication was that the distribution of any gains moving forward would be based on each person’s contribution.
Qian Mengchen had no objections to this and nodded with a smile in response.
“That’s only fair.”
Thus, the group of them began moving deeper into the central island.
At the same time.
At the same time, several other islands gradually approached the central island.
One of these islands was occupied by Kang Yuanfei, Tianyou, and their group.
Looking ahead at the central island, Kang Yuanfei said,
“Tianyou, as far as I know, that central island harbors many treasures that both you and I need.
According to the rules of the third trial, how about we join forces if we find a target worth striking?”
“Hmm, I have no objections.”
Tianyou nodded.
Soon, Kang Yuanfei, Tianyou, and their group also set foot on the central island.
A few hours later.
On a massive mountain peak, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Qian Mengchen, and the others had just finished off a swarm of flying ants attacking them.
Looking at the dense bodies of the flying ants, the expressions on Qian Mengchen and Qian Donghai’s faces were slightly grim.
These flying ants had posed quite a threat to them.
Without Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the Qian family cultivators might have suffered losses.
“Fellow Cultivator Jiang, Fairy Shen, there are six Hearts of Plants here. We’ll take two, and the rest are yours. What do you think?”
Qian Mengchen looked towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Shen Ruyan smiled and nodded, “We have no objections. After all, you discovered this place first. Otherwise, we could also split the Hearts of Plants evenly.”
“Split evenly?”
Qian Mengchen was initially taken aback, then quickly shook her head.
“That’s not appropriate. If not for you and Fellow Daoist Jiang, some of us might have encountered accidents.
Therefore, it’s reasonable for you to take four of the Hearts of Plants, and we’ll take the remaining two,” Qian Mengchen said as she retrieved six emeraldgreen glowing Hearts of Plants from a nearby cave.
She kept two for herself and handed the remaining four to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan accepted the four Hearts of Plants without further politeness.
The group then continued along the path before them, moving forward.
About a few days later.
The solemn expressions on their faces deepened as they looked at only three additional Hearts of Plants in their possession.
Jiang Chengxuan said, “We can’t continue like this. Although this place doesn’t say how long our test will last,
I suspect that once someone collects all the required Hearts of Plants, they will advance to the next round of the trial first.
And once the collection of Hearts of Plants reaches a certain limit, the trial might be declared over.
So.
In a way, our time here is likely limited.”
“What do you suggest, Fellow Daoist Jiang?”
“It’s simple. Given our current situation, it would be best for each of us to search separately,” Jiang Chengxuan suggested in a low voice.
“Of course, to ensure we can contact each other immediately, it’s best to carry a Telepathic Lock.”
The Telepathic Lock Jiang Chengxuan referred to is a treasure that can sense each other’s location and send messages.
They had already tested it. The Telepathic Lock was not restricted on the central island.
This would be the most efficient way to maximize each person’s effectiveness.
After a brief discussion, Qian Mengchen and her group nodded in agreement with Jiang Chengxuan’s proposal.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, we have no objections to your suggestion.”
