Lu Yuqing sighed and said, "What kind of spirit vine is this?
It's so tightly protected. It must have been a very precious treasure in the past, but unfortunately, it lost its vitality many years ago. It must have been a failure to cultivate it. "
The Icy Flame Ancestor said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Hmph, man proposes, God disposes. The person who came here before us also didn't get this thing."
Han Li only stood to the side and didn't say a word as his eyes wandered up and down the withered vine.
But then, he seemed to discover something. He stared at the object and a blue light appeared in his eyes.
"Big Brother Han, what's wrong?" Lu Yuqing was surprised to see this.
Han Li didn't answer and flew down.
Lu Yuqing hurriedly followed. The Icy Flame Ancestor's eyes flashed and he also followed.
Han Li landed next to the vine and picked up a section of it. He carefully examined it, the blue light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
"Sigh …"
He suddenly sighed, and his face revealed an extremely annoyed expression. He put down the withered vine in his hand.
The Icy Flame Ancestor and Lu Yuqing were full of doubt. They each picked up a section of the withered vine and carefully examined it. Their expressions changed slightly.
They could vaguely see some curved patterns on the withered vine. They seemed like words, but they weren't words. They were similar to beveled silver script and golden seal script, but they were more mysterious. They seemed to be the embodiment of the world's great dao.
These patterns were very faint. If they hadn't brought them to their eyes, they definitely wouldn't have noticed them.
The Icy Flame Ancestor sucked in a breath of cold air and slowly said, "These are … Profound Heavenly Patterns!"
Lu Yuqing bitterly smiled and said, "There's no mistake. These patterns that contain the aura of the great dao only appear on the legendary Profound Heavenly Objects.
This withered vine is most likely a Profound Goddess's Palm Vine. It's just that the Profound Heavenly Object on it was plucked by someone, so it automatically withered and became like this. "
Han Li pointed at a place on the withered vine.
The Icy Flame Ancestor and Lu Yuqing followed his finger and saw a small fracture on the withered vine. Although the vine had already withered and became indistinct, they could still see it upon closer inspection.
This fracture was obviously formed after something had been plucked off.
"As expected, we were still a step too late …" Lu Yuqing also sighed.
Profound Heavenly Items could be used to refine Connate Immortal Artifacts, so they were extremely precious. They were just a little bit away from obtaining it, but the three of them had already missed it.
The Cold Flame Ancestor also revealed an extremely vexed expression as he stamped his feet in resentment.
"Forget it. Since it's already been taken, there's nothing we can do.
Looks like our luck is a little bad, "Han Li said lightly.
At that moment, a yellow shadow flashed at the top of the stone altar. The two Dao soldiers flew in with two bulging storage bags in their hands.
The Thunder Loch Resting Soil outside had basically been sucked in.
Han Li stretched out his hand to receive the two storage bags. Then, with a wave of his hand, he kept the two Dao soldiers and was about to say something.
Right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The Star Restriction above the Herb Garden flickered and trembled violently, emitting a deafening sound.
Han Li and the other two were shocked and looked up at the sky.
With a loud bang, a terrifying attack struck the Star Restriction. Countless cracks appeared on the Star Restriction, which had only recovered a little of its power, and then it suddenly shattered.
"Hahaha!
What a strong Spirit Herb aura. This is definitely the Herb Garden. "A loud laugh came from above. It was Xue Han's voice.
The Cold Flame Ancestor's face turned pale. He immediately formed a hand seal with both hands and quickly chanted an incantation.
At the same time, his body flashed, and his entire body instantly merged with the ground and disappeared.
When Han Li saw this, he frowned slightly and immediately formed a hand seal to cast a spell. He rubbed his hands together.
A dim light enveloped his and Lu Yuqing's bodies, and the two of them instantly disappeared.
The Star Restriction shattered and turned into countless streams of light that drifted away.
Almost not long after Han Li and the other two used a secret technique to hide, a group of cultivators flew down. It was Xue Han and the other cultivators of the Ghost Weep Sect.
As soon as Xue Han steadied himself, he looked down. The smile on his face immediately froze, and his body that was flying down stopped in mid-air.
The others were the same, and they were all stunned.
Not a single stalk of Spirit Grass could be seen in the various medicinal fields in the garden. Even the roots had been dug away. Even the spiritual soil used to cultivate the Spirit Grass had been scraped away. It was a complete mess everywhere. If it wasn't for the layout here, it would be impossible to tell that this was a Spiritual Medicine Garden.
A middle-aged man with a sallow complexion next to Xue Han said hatefully, "Damn it, someone got here before us!"
The expressions of the others also did not look good.
Xue Han's expression was extremely ugly, and there was anger brewing between his brows.
When the others saw Xue Han's expression, they immediately became silent.
Xue Han let out a long breath and said, "Don't just stand here. Look around and see if there's anything left."
The others hurriedly agreed and dispersed to search the Herb Garden.
Xue Han stood in mid-air without moving. He looked around the Herb Garden and spread out his Divine Sense.
Behind a large stone in the corner of the Herb Garden, a shadow floated.
Two blurry figures stood in the shadow. They were Han Li and Lu Yuqing.
Han Li's expression was solemn as he muttered something. His fingers quickly formed hand seals, and a series of hand seals flew out.
The dim light gently fluctuated and slowly merged with the void.
The Divine Sense of Xue Han and the others swept past the area without stopping. It was obvious that they did not find anything strange.
Han Li's expression relaxed slightly, but his hands did not relax at all. He continued to form hand seals.
At this moment, Xue Han, who was in mid-air, suddenly focused his gaze. He looked at the stone altar in the depths of the Herb Garden and waved his hand.
A black light shot out and entered the stone altar in a flash. It quickly flew out and wrapped around the withered vine, which landed in front of him.
The others looked around but did not find anything. Seeing Xue Han's action, they all flew over.
"This is … the Mysterious Goddess's Palm!" Xue Han looked at the withered vine, and his body suddenly shook as he said.
"The Mysterious Goddess's Palm?
Looking at the lines on it, it is very likely!
Damn it, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure on it was also taken by that thief! "A middle-aged man with a sallow complexion changed his expression and said angrily.
"Sir, the spirit herbs and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure here must have been taken by Leng Yan and the others.
Fortunately, this You Han Palace is not big, and looking at the situation here, that person should have just left not long ago. If we quickly chase after him, we should be able to catch up, "another tall and skinny Taoist immediately said.
"That's right!" The others also chimed in.
In the black shadow behind the large stone, Han Li's eyes flashed with joy.
As long as Xue Han and the others left, he could take the opportunity to escape without anyone knowing.
In fact, he was not really afraid of Xue Han. With his current strength, even if he could not fight him head-on, he still had some confidence in escaping. However, in this case, he would not be able to protect Lu Yuqing. He was still very interested in the map that she had.
Hearing the words of the people around him, Xue Han slowly raised his head and looked around the Herb Garden. He suddenly formed a hand seal and waved.
A ball of black light flew out from his hand and shot into the air.
The black light wriggled for a moment like a living thing, then with a whoosh, it expanded and turned into a large black net that covered the sky above the Herb Garden.
In the shadow, Han Li's expression darkened.
"Sir?" The tall and skinny Taoist asked doubtfully.
"That's right, the person who took the spirit herbs and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure might not have gone far, but it is also possible that he is still hiding here.
We can't let go of any possibility. We must take that Mysterious Heaven Treasure! "A fiery light flashed in Xue Han's eyes.
After all, if he could have an Immortal Artifact refined from a Mysterious Heaven Treasure, his strength would greatly increase. In this way, he would have a greater say in the forces he belonged to, and he might even be above some people.
The yellow-faced middle-aged man frowned and said, "But there is no one here?"
"It's possible that they used some kind of secret technique to hide their tracks so that we couldn't detect them.
Sir is right, we can't let go of any details, "the tall and skinny Taoist said as he looked around.
"That is indeed a possibility." The yellow-faced middle-aged man nodded when he heard this.
Xue Han ignored the discussion around him and sneered as he chanted.
A ball of silver light flew out from his body. It was a white and flawless pagoda. It was half a foot tall and had mysterious patterns carved on it.
"Crape Myrtle Pagoda!" The tall and skinny Taoist's eyes lit up.
The small white pagoda quickly grew in size. In the blink of an eye, it became as tall as a person. The patterns on its surface all lit up and rotated.
Dazzling white ripples appeared on the pagoda and spread into the surroundings.
Wave-like ripples appeared in the void. The Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth also trembled as if it was resonating with the white ripples.
The white ripples quickly spread throughout the entire Herb Garden. The place where Han Li and Xue Han were was also affected by the white ripples.
The dim light around the two suddenly trembled and slowly appeared from the void. The two figures became clearer and clearer.
Han Li's expression changed. He chanted the incantation more quickly and his hands formed a series of hand seals.
However, no matter what he did, he couldn't stop the two figures from appearing.
At that moment, a ball of dim light appeared in another corner of the Herb Garden. Then, with a muffled sound, the dim light shattered and revealed the figure of the Icy Flame Ancestor. His face was full of panic.
"Icy Flame, it really is you." Xue Han looked at the Icy Flame Ancestor with a cold glint in his eyes.
The Icy Flame Ancestor's body trembled and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes. He suddenly looked around as if he was looking for something.
"The only ending for traitors is death. Kill him," Xue Han said indifferently.
The people of the Crying Ghost Sect agreed and rushed toward the Icy Flame Ancestor.
The two people at the front were the tall and skinny Taoist and the yellow-faced middle-aged man.
The tall and skinny Taoist waved his hands and shot out balls of green light. Each ball of green lightning flickered inside and shot toward the Icy Flame Ancestor.
The yellow-faced middle-aged man's body shone with a bloody light and instantly turned into a beam of red light.
The shadow of a huge ghost emerged from the beam of red light and fiercely swallowed the Icy Flame Ancestor.
"Bone Flame Freak!
Spiritual Master Clarity … You two scoundrels … "The Icy Flame Ancestor's body shone with starlight as he flew backward and shouted.
