Chapter 367 Scraping the Ground Three Feet
Shen Rugo clearly sensed that her soul had become significantly stronger and her perception had improved markedly compared to the past.
Before she could even ask about the lucky charm, a black object radiating a faint spiritual aura came into view.
She immediately raised her hand and snatched the object into her hand mid-air.
"What is this 'lucky charm'?"
Shen Rugo was slightly taken aback when she saw the dark, unremarkable pebble in her palm.
"I'm not entirely sure either. It looks like something left behind by someone who died in an ancient war. You should refine it quickly, and we need to get out of here!"
Zhao Cai urged him repeatedly.
Is this the only item here?
Shen Rugo could not hide her disappointment.
"Your Highness, you have already absorbed the most precious treasures here. They are even rarer than the Seven Spirit Immortal Fruit and the Heaven-Burning Flame Core. Why are you still not satisfied?"
"You mean that demonic soul?"
"Of course it's this one!"
You must understand, the power of the divine soul is the most difficult to cultivate, and the value of that demonic soul far surpasses all the treasures you know!
"Okay, you're right, I do feel my soul power has increased a lot!"
Shen Rugo stopped worrying and, with a thought, began to refine the black stone in her hand.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly inconspicuous black stone contained extremely abundant spiritual energy, which greatly enhanced her strength.
"Zhao Cai, let's go to the next place!"
Shen Rugo threw away the ashes in her hand and shouted at Zhaocai.
The feeling of constantly searching for treasures and breaking through realms is simply too exhilarating.
She had been somewhat discouraged by her previous Qi Refining Level 18, but now she was full of fighting spirit.
The next destination was a valley shrouded in a hazy halo.
The valley is filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs in full bloom, and the spiritual energy is shrouded in mist.
This is surprisingly a well-preserved ancient herb garden!
However, a transparent barrier of light enveloped the entire garden, with runes flowing across it and radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.
Hundreds of cultivators had gathered outside the barrier, each using their own methods to try and break through it.
Sword light, fireballs, and talismans rained down on the light barrier, but to little avail.
"This restriction was set up by at least a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!"
"I heard there are several spiritual herbs inside that are over 100,000 years old, and even some spiritual herbs!"
"Look! The array masters of the Heavenly Evolution Sect are trying to analyze the array nodes!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.
A young cultivator dressed in a star-patterned Taoist robe sat cross-legged in front of the barrier, holding a compass and calculating with a furrowed brow.
The Tianyan Sect is a top-twenty sect, renowned for its mastery of formations.
These hundred-plus people included disciples from almost every sect.
People from Misty Peak, Xuantian Sect, Luoyun Sect, Hehuan Sect, and even Qingyuan Sect were among them.
Fortunately, Shen Rugo's appearance was ordinary at the moment, and she did not attract the attention of others.
She quietly crouched behind the crowd to observe the light screen.
When it comes to the art of formations, she can be considered a grandmaster of the contemporary Tianyuan Continent.
As her soul power surged, a divine sense reached out and she clearly sensed that the energy of this restriction was not without source; its foundation was connected to a spiritual vein deep underground, which could endlessly draw power from it.
"Breaking through this formation by force is definitely not an option; we must first sever its foundation."
Shen Rugo's eyes lit up, and she had an idea.
She quietly retreated and circled around to the side of the herb garden.
There are few people here.
She lay on the ground, her ears pressed against the earth, using her spiritual power to sense the faint vibrations and energy flow of the underground spiritual veins.
With her keen senses, she clearly saw the spiritual vein flowing like a river underground, as well as the main tributaries connecting the barrier.
"right here!"
She selected an energy node, about ten feet away from the barrier light curtain.
After taking a deep breath, he placed his hands on the ground, and a vast, ocean-like spiritual power surged forth!
This is not magic, but the purest and most brutal spiritual energy impact!
Her spiritual power was like an invisible drill, forcefully breaking through the soil and drilling hard towards the tributary of the spiritual vein underground!
"Boom..."
The ground trembled slightly.
The Tianyan Sect array master, who was performing the calculations, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the restriction with surprise and doubt: "Why has the array energy suddenly become disordered?"
Deep underground, Shen Rugo's brute force intervention had already taken effect.
Although she could not sever the spiritual vein, she used her spiritual power to temporarily block and deflect the tributary supplying the restriction!
In an instant, the barrier light screen above the Immortal Herb Garden flickered violently, the runes flickered and emitted crackling electrical sounds, and the entire barrier seemed about to collapse at any moment.
"The barrier is about to break!"
"Everyone, get ready!"
The cultivators were both surprised and delighted, and they all summoned their magical artifacts, waiting for the moment the restriction disappeared before rushing in.
However, just as the light screen flickered to its limit and became almost transparent:
"It's now!"
Shen Rugo pushed her speed to the limit like a wild horse, transforming into a streak of light.
Before anyone else could react, she was the first to rush into the light screen!
Upon entering the Immortal Herb Garden, Shen Rugo was intoxicated by the extremely rich medicinal fragrance.
But she didn't have time to look at the magical flowers and herbs; she went straight to the most valuable area!
With a flick of his wrist, he took out a jade shovel for mining spirit ore, and after infusing it with golden spiritual power, his technique was skillful.
Instead of uprooting the spiritual herbs, she carefully scooped them up along with the fertile spiritual soil that had been soaked in spiritual energy for thousands of years, just like plowing the ground.
Wherever it went, it left behind only bare, square pits.
She moved with lightning speed, targeting only the oldest and most potent medicinal herbs.
When the cultivators outside finally broke through the barrier and entered, they saw this scene: a girl in her early teens dressed in a blue robe was deftly stuffing the last shovelful of spiritual soil, along with the dew-laden immortal mushroom, into her storage bag.
Around her, there were square pits, and the top-grade spiritual herbs that used to grow there had long since disappeared.
The entire herb garden was partially shaved off in a bizarre way.
The air fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was stunned. They looked at the square pits, then at the girl who clapped her hands, stood up, and had a look of satisfaction on her face as if she had finished her work. They were completely dumbfounded.
"This...this is..." A cultivator pointed at the pit, his finger trembling, "Which despicable bastard did this? Not even sparing the soil?!"
"It's her! The one at the seventh level of Qi Refining!"
"Grab her! Grab her now, she's taken all the best medicinal herbs!"
Amidst the crowd's outrage, various spells and magical artifacts were instantly unleashed upon Shen Rugo.
But Shen Rugo was prepared; she had already affixed four Swiftness Talismans to her legs.
With a burst of spiritual energy beneath his feet, he darted out like a ghost, shouting back as he ran, "Fellow Daoists, you've worked hard! The credit for breaking the formation belongs to you all, I'll be going now!"
She ran incredibly fast, deliberately heading towards areas teeming with spiritual herbs, using the terrain to block attacks.
The crowd behind her roared in anger, but they were powerless to stop her. They could only watch helplessly as she disappeared into the depths of the Immortal Herb Garden with the most precious medicinal herbs.
"Scraping the ground three feet deep, I've truly witnessed it today..."
The array master of the Tianyan Sect looked at the pits on the ground and said through gritted teeth, "I have gone to great lengths to break the array, but I have not gotten anything good."
