Although the Intermediate Talisman contains the Five Elements Escape Talisman, which allows rapid escape in Five Elements environments once activated.
However, this kind of talisman can only be crafted by a Foundation Building cultivator, and its power is at the Foundation Building Realm level, so naturally, it cannot be brought in.
These two medicinal gardens are located near the periphery of the deep part of the secret realm, one situated in a valley, and the other on a mountainside,
The medicine garden he was headed towards was located in the valley. According to the Secret Realm Manual, it had clear mountains and rivers, chirping birds and fragrant flowers, almost like a utopian wonderland within the secret realm.
For an ordinary Qi Refining Level Nine Cultivator, it would take four or five days to reach the Misty Forest Herb Garden from the outermost part.
From the Misty Forest to the centrally located medicine garden, it would take at least eight days for an ordinary Qi Refining Level Nine Cultivator.
From the central medicine garden to the one deepest in, it would take ten days. In total, it would take nearly half a month. If you then wait for the Spirit Grass to mature, the remaining time would not be enough to go elsewhere.
Lin Yi, with his Foundation Establishment Stage speed adding the effect of his title, was several times faster than a Qi Refining Level Nine Cultivator.
He reached the outskirts of the valley in three to four days, a journey that would have taken a regular Qi Refining Level Nine Cultivator eight days.
It could have been even quicker, but wearing the [Meaningless Fight and Kill] title unexpectedly triggered two instances of instant teleport. Because he had significantly deviated from his path, he was delayed for some time.
And this effect could not be stopped.
However, this effect was very useful when escaping from pursuit. Even he didn’t know where he would teleport to, let alone his enemies.
Standing halfway up the mountain, Lin Yi looked down at the valley below, his face showing a hint of emotion. Surrounded by mountains on all sides and with two waterfalls flowing down from the mountains, this valley had streams running through it.
In the valley, there were also blooming flowers, truly an enchanting landscape of chirping birds and fragrant flowers.
Unlike the dangerous forests, this area seemed peaceful and serene. According to the Secret Realm Manual, this place was called Peach Blossom Valley.
Despite the charming scene before his eyes, Lin Yi was not fooled and remained alert as he walked towards the valley. Just because the Secret Realm Manual said there was no danger, did not mean there was no current danger. In the Secret Realm Manual, it was recorded that Peach Blossom Valley would test one’s mental state. Those who enter here must maintain a calm heart. This made him somewhat curious. With this place appearing harmonious, would there be some sort of illusionary trials?
The medicine garden was situated in the middle of the valley with two streams crossing through it, a lot larger than the Misty Forest Herb Garden.
On his way there, he didn’t encounter any dangers and was entirely captivated by this utopian-like world.
Arriving in the valley, Lin Yi saw the thriving Spirit Grass in the garden ahead. Although he had crammed a lot of knowledge about Spirit Grass, there were still some he could not name.
The spiritual energy in Peach Blossom Valley was much richer than that in the surrounding forest, it seemed to make people feel a bit lazy.
Alert, Lin Yi used a wooden stick to probe the entrance to the garden, but surprisingly encountered resistance. Every medicinal garden was protected by a Formation, which remained true even after the secret realm was opened.
However, the Formation was set to prevent Monster Beasts, and a cultivator could step into it. He slowly walked past, it felt as if he passed through a thin film, and also sensed a spiritual power scanning his entire body.
Upon entering the medicine garden, the spiritual energy became even denser, intoxicating the senses.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in the medicine garden and the serene flowing water nearby, Lin Yi couldn’t help but stretch lazily, sitting on a stone bench, as if he wanted to stay in Peach Blossom Valley forever.
There were no dangers here, none of the cruelty found in the Cultivation World, only peace.
In the valley, several gentle animals lived, drinking stream water and eating the wild fruits from the mountainside, creating a warm scene.
He felt that living here, and having Zhi Ling join him, would be even better.
The valley was much larger than the Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion. Zhi Ling could run freely to practice her speed. He wondered how his diligent little companion was doing now.
Suddenly, Lin Yi realized something was off. Wasn’t he striving step by step to cultivate into an immortal for eternal life? How could he just settle down here? No matter how many hardships lay ahead, he would never stop.
At that moment, his mind became clear again, and he couldn’t help but laugh. So this was a test of the mind, testing whether a cultivator has the perseverance and determination to cultivate diligently.
If he chose to settle down here, who knew what the outcome would be? Perhaps he’d be compelled to leave after a month.
After this mental test, he felt as though his Divine Sense had grown stronger. Moreover, his experience in the [Training Expert] skill also increased by 10 points.
Lin Yi didn’t waste any more time. He examined the Spirit Grass in the Medicine Garden that was ready to be harvested. Generally speaking, mature Spirit Grass could be touched, while those not yet mature were protected by formations and couldn’t be approached.
“This is Golden Yuan Grass that can increase the success rate of reaching Golden Core from Foundation Building. It possesses properties of both gold and wood elements. According to the Secret Realm Manual, last time it was in the metal region…”
“This is Xuan Ling Fruit which a Golden Core Real Person can use to enhance their Cultivation levels…
Seeing all these precious spiritual grass and medicines that could be harvested, excitement lit up Lin Yi e s face. In haste, he pulled out the jade box from his Storage Bag and collected all the Spirit Grass.
The Storage Bag given by Gold Sword Zen Ren contained many jade boxes specifically for storing precious spiritual grass in order to preserve their medicinal properties for extended periods.
As the harvesting progressed, Lin Yi’ s excitement gradually subsided. The Medicine Garden seemed to be full of Spirit Grass, but only very few specimens could actually be harvested.
Some needed several, or even dozens of, years to mature, while others simply required more time.
Lin Yi collected every Spirit Grass that could be harvested, leaving none behind. In total, he collected close to a hundred specimens.
From this journey into the Secret Realm, approximately one-third of the spirit grass, spirit medicine, and pills he found could be kept. The rest had to be turned over to the Sect. They would repay him with merit points, based on the value of the items.
After all, this was an opportunity to enter the Secret Realm provided by the Sect. Loose Cultivators would have no chance to get such opportunities without the backing of a Sect.
As for concealing any findings, that was impossible. When leaving the Secret Realm and returning to the real world, the Golden Core Real Person would seal the Storage Bag.
There wasn’t anything in his Storage Bag that would expose his Cultivation levels. The Talisman Templates made during the Foundation Establishment Stage couldn’t be brought in. Further, his Flying Sword was hidden in his Dantian, beyond the reach of others due to Realm Concealment.
After harvesting the Spirit Grass, Lin Yi didn’t linger in the seemingly idyllic valley. Instead, he left immediately and headed toward the deepest part of the wood region’s Medicine Garden. At this moment, several Cultivators should be on their way here.
During his journey, he never stopped using the title [Meaningless Fight and Kill]. Even if sometimes Instant Teleport would set him off course, this title had already advanced to the third level.
In normal circumstances, he could get a 30% speed bonus, but once out of combat, his speed could reach up to 70%.
Therefore, during his rush to get there, he occasionally teased some poisonous beasts, inciting attacks and entering a combat state. After running away and escaping the combat, he would get a temporary speed bonus.
However, the deeper he went into the wood area, the denser the Spiritual Energy, and the more Monster Beasts he came across. Lin Yi had encountered many troubles that slowed him down.
Despite all this, it only took him five days to reach the heart of the wood element sector. Now, he was much closer to the final Herb Garden.
Once he reached that Herb Garden, Lin Yi planned to try various means to gain entry. If all else failed, he would have no choice but to abandon the attempt and head to Dan God’s Cave Mansion..
