"Ah!"

With a scream, Jiang Qingge helplessly fell in front of Lu Ye, a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

Lu Ye continued to walk forward, and moments later, another figure emerged from the pink mist.

This time, it was Chen Lingxiang.

Chen Lingxiang looked at him, a faint and complex expression in her eyes: "Lu Ye, you like Jiang Lingyue, then what about me?"

Right after, Chen Lingxiang revealed a hint of allure, softly chuckling: "Lu Ye, since no one is around here, why don't we also..."

Lu Ye showed a trace of interest, calmly saying: "Alright."

Previously, upon seeing Jiang Qingge, Lu Ye had struck with his sword directly.

But now he agreed outright, leaving the illusory Chen Lingxiang a bit bewildered.

After a moment of stupor, Chen Lingxiang softly smiled, slowly saying: "Then... my dear, come quickly, let us enjoy~~~"

With that, amidst the hazy pink mist, Chen Lingxiang actually took off her blue dress...

In an instant, that curvaceous figure was dazzling in its whiteness...

However, a whiter sword light suddenly erupted!

Pfft!

"Chen Lingxiang" widened her eyes, filled with a watery allure: "Why... why?"

Lu Ye couldn't be bothered to speak much with an illusion, advancing rapidly. At this point, he had traversed most of the distance and was nearing the exit of the illusion.

Suddenly, the pink mist surged, and a final figure emerged from within.

Upon seeing the person, Lu Ye's usually calm and unruffled eyes finally showed a rare flicker of movement.

"This illusion... is interesting."

The final illusion turned out to be Jiang Lingyue.

However, compared to the almost imperfection of the previous illusions, the flaws in the current Jiang Lingyue were... quite obvious.

Quite obvious indeed.

If the real Jiang Lingyue was barely a B, then this illusion was at least a C...

"Bad guy... I miss you so much."

"Jiang Lingyue" gazed at Lu Ye, with deep affection in her eyes.

Her response was a quickly approaching sword light.

"Go back and think in your illusion."

As the sword light flashed by, everything quickly dissipated, and Lu Ye stepped forward, exiting the illusion.

After running out of the illusion, the little dog transformed from Xiao Ling looked at its owner in confusion.

As a born spiritual object, Xiao Ling couldn't see the figures the pink mist from the illusion created, it only saw the essence, a cloud of pink mist.

Seeing its owner swing his sword at a few mists, Xiao Ling's little head was full of doubt.

Why would he be slashing at mist...?

However, soon, Xiao Ling seemed to sense something, bit Lu Ye's pant leg, signaling him to follow.

Moments later, following Xiao Ling through the labyrinth-like ruins and bypassing a few puppet guards, Lu Ye arrived in front of a medicinal garden filled with Heaven and Earth Source Qi.

"Is this the medicinal garden left behind by the Celestial Saint Sect?"

Lu Ye was slightly surprised, and could vaguely tell there were originally array protections around this area.

But with the passage of time, the Energy Source had been depleted, eventually exposing the hidden garden below.

Looking at the spirit medicines and spirit flowers planted inside, Lu Ye estimated that this was originally a low-tier medicinal garden.

Most were Tier One and Two spirit medicines, with a few Tier Threes likely for disciples' use.

Unfortunately, with the failure of the arrays gathering Source Qi, most had withered from energy exhaustion.

Sorting through it for a while, he found a dozen or so Tier One and Two spirit medicines with some remaining potency.

Moments later, he found three Tier Three spirit medicines that retained about half their energy.

"Although the energy isn't much, the combined effect should allow me to smoothly advance to the Innate Ninth Layer."

He put the Tier One and Two spirit medicines into his Storage Ring, and the three Tier Three spirit medicines into the Myriad Dao Pavilion's warehouse.

After finishing his collection, Xiao Ling signaled him over once more.

"There's more?"

Lu Ye was taken aback, as in his view, no unsearched garden plots remained.

"There must be a Shield Array still..."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye realized that since entering, he had encountered all sorts of arrays.

Clearly, this Celestial Saint Sect, existing tens of thousands of years ago, possessed a master in the art of arrays.

Medicinal gardens have always been crucial for major sects, so it's normal to have multiple arrays.

Following Xiao Ling further, they were soon enveloped by white mist.

Xiao Ling started chirping, bouncing in front of Lu Ye, leading him along a specific route.

"Chirp chirp!"

Lu Ye showed a contemplative look: "Are you saying I should follow your steps?"

Xiao Ling immediately nodded, showing an approving expression to Lu Ye: "Chirp!"

Lu Ye: "..."

What is it like to be praised by a Reishi?

Following Xiao Ling's footsteps, Lu Ye suddenly felt the scene before him change.

A new medicinal garden appeared in front of him.

This medicinal garden was small, with fewer than five plots in total.

Currently, four of the five plots had already withered.

Only one fiery red spirit medicine still stood.

"A Tier Four spirit medicine?!"

Seeing this spirit medicine, Lu Ye was immediately shocked. Tier Four spirit medicines... are treasures even Martial Arts Grandmasters covet highly!

As for the other three beside it, being planted separately here should also mean they're Tier Four spirit medicines.

It's just that with the array gathering Source Qi broken, this fiery red spirit medicine aggressively drained the others.

Otherwise, it likely wouldn't have survived until now.

Swiftly moving over, Lu Ye was about to pick the red Tier Four spirit medicine.

Behind him, a cold voice quietly emerged: "Don't move, or you'll die if you do."

Lu Ye was slightly surprised, not expecting someone to quickly bypass the arrays and even see through this hidden maze garden.

Turning around, his gaze fell on a youth with a gloomy aura, holding a thick, blood-red worm in his hand.

Seeing that blood-red worm, Lu Ye's brow faintly furrowed.

It seemed familiar!

It resembled the worm that emerged from the cocoon after killing the Wang Family Ancestor back then!

"Who are you?" Lu Ye coldly asked.

"My name?" The gloomy youth chillingly said: "They all call me... the Three Yin Sect Saint Son!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye showed a realizing look. So this is the hot contender for one of the Ten Great Spirit Pools' spots Tian Qing mentioned before?

Initially, Lu Ye had no desire to provoke such so-called elites.

But now, the Three Yin Sect Saint Son... intends to take something from him?

"Leave here, this Saint Son is in a good mood today, so I won't force you to hand over anything else." The Three Yin Sect Saint Son said coldly.
