Chapter 172 We're afraid we'll be attacked from two sides.
Seeing this, Guan Lexin and the others hurriedly killed the white-spotted vipers on the other trees.
Soon, the white-spotted vipers were all cut down and fell to the ground.
Zhong Lingxin cut off the snake's head and removed all the venom sacs from it.
Several friends were already gathered around the six peach trees, chatting and laughing as they picked peaches.
Only Huanhuan was touching the peach tree wound caused by the white viper's bite with her paws.
Zhong Lingxin stepped forward with a smile and said to everyone, "Will you pick these peaches? I'm moving this tree. My Huanhuan likes it very much."
Huanhuan touched the wound on the peach tree with her paws while nodding frantically.
Everyone laughed, "Junior Sister Zhong, please move it. Since Huanhuan likes it so much, we won't pick it."
Zhong Ling smiled and thanked her senior brothers and sisters. She used her spiritual power to tie the peach tree branches tightly, took out a huge jade box, and moved the entire peach tree into the jade box.
The remaining five peach trees swayed in unison, their branches catching on Zhong Lingxin's robes.
Zhong Lingxin looked at the group and said, "Do you want to move one too? Or, there are some saplings over there, you can pull up a couple and plant them back."
Guan Lexin was the first to be tempted. Following Zhong Lingxin's example, she also used her spiritual power to bind a peach tree and stuff it into a jade box.
One person took action, and the others followed suit.
Soon, all the large peach trees in the valley were moved away.
Zhong Lingxin selected five peach saplings, set up a peach blossom formation, and summoned several little rabbits, teaching them how to enter the formation: "From now on, this will be your home. With the Seven Star Formation set up, white vipers and the like will never be able to get in again. All the peaches on the peach trees will be yours, so you must take good care of them."
The little rabbits surrounded Zhong Lingxin, chattering as if they were thanking her.
Qian Shao and his companions stared in disbelief: "Junior Sister Zhong, you also know formations?"
Zhong Lingxin said vaguely, "I know a little bit. I've memorized a few simple formations. They're all the simplest ones."
Qian Shao shook his head: "Junior sister, don't lie to me. I've studied formations, and so far, I haven't been able to set up this Peach Blossom Formation. It's a fifth-grade formation, isn't it?"
Zhong Lingxin nodded: "Senior Brother Qian has a good eye, this is indeed a fifth-grade one. Senior Brother Qian, as you all know, my shop sells Master Long's array plates. Master Long has a strange temper. He won't sell them to me if I don't learn them. I have no choice but to memorize a few by rote."
Guan Lexin said enviously, "Junior Sister Zhong knows so much. Unlike me, I only know a few tricks of spiritual energy, and when I encounter an enemy, I can only draw my sword and go for it."
Zhong Lingxin shook her head: "Don't praise me. Senior Brother Qian should be able to tell that my formation is very craftsman-like and not flexible at all. It's not a good formation."
Zhong Lingxin wasn't lying.
Under her master's strict guidance, she did indeed learn a fifth-grade formation.
However, she has not yet unlocked the talent skill of array formations, and the array formations she sets up can only be conventional, lacking flexibility and change.
Qian Shao could naturally see it.
Even so, she still surpassed him.
He's only a fourth-grade formation master, yet he's already been heavily trained and nurtured by the sect.
Of the four arts masters in the Immortal Spirit Continent, array masters are the fewest and the most difficult to train.
Zhong Lingxin stopped dwelling on the topic.
She has already demonstrated her skills in both alchemy and artifact crafting, which is enough for the sect to value her; there's no need for her to reveal too much.
Revealing too much might not be a good thing for her cultivation.
Qian Shao and the others were all sensible people, and naturally knew that cultivation should focus on improving one's cultivation level, while everything else was secondary.
Soon, the group waved goodbye to the little white rabbits and continued walking.
As they walked, they talked about how clever the little white rabbits were, how they were used to eliminate natural enemies, and how they were made happy to be used.
The group bypassed the bushes and continued to wander around the outskirts of the secret place.
Their mission was to ascertain the situation of the secret place and clear away any dangers for future disciples of the sect.
Along the way, there were many second- and third-grade spiritual herbs, but the group only picked the less common ones and left most of them untouched.
Guan Lexin sighed, "In the past, when I saw a third-grade spiritual herb, I would get so excited that my eyes would turn red, afraid that I wouldn't be able to dig it up. Now, they're everywhere, and I'm too lazy to even dig them up."
Qian Shao kept marking things on the map along the way. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Once the sect's junior disciples come in for training, I'm afraid these second and third-grade spiritual herbs won't be enough for them to dig up. The sect used to have more than a dozen training grounds, but now there are only two or three left. They were all snatched up by that damned Lingyun Sect."
The conversation quickly turned to the sect competition a hundred years from now.
Zhou Jinting and the others cursed Lingyun Sect through gritted teeth, vowing to crush Lingyun Sect and reclaim everything they had lost.
The topic turned to ancient battlefields.
Of the group, only Zhong Lingxin had been to the ancient battlefield.
The others planned to go in in batches.
Zhong Lingxin actually wanted to go in.
There are just too many remnants of treasure that can be found in the ancient battlefield now.
Once more people go in, you won't be able to find so many broken treasures anymore.
Qian Shao and his companions were extremely excited and couldn't wait to go.
Zhong Lingxin smiled and sighed, "Don't let the broken treasure be bewitching you."
It's extremely dangerous inside. Not to mention those remnant souls, even the evil cultivators, most of them cultivate soul techniques and blood-fiend techniques. They have an advantage over us in the ancient battlefield.
If you want to go in, you should bring more evil-repelling pills, healing pills, and spirit-replenishing pills.
In short, bring plenty of all kinds of elixirs.
And then there's the Lingyun Sect. No matter what, they have more disciples than us, and their cultivation levels are higher. Once we enter the Ancient Battlefield, we'll be at a disadvantage and easily killed by them.
Everyone nodded. That's how they killed Senior Brother Haiyuan.
As they spoke, a river appeared ahead, its water clear and sparkling, the setting sun reflecting on its surface, making it wide and calm.
The group stopped and decided to set up camp by the river and explore along the river the next day.
Zhong Lingxin set up the barbecue grill without any hesitation. Zhou Jinting, Zhao Nan, and the others then caught a few fish and brought them up.
Everyone made grilled fish to eat.
As the moon rises, the aroma of grilled fish wafts far and wide under the moonlight.
In the distance, several pairs of emerald green eyes slowly approached.
Zhou Jinting nocked an arrow and shot it at the pair of green eyes that were closest to him.
A soft "thump" sounded in the silent moonlight, and all the approaching green eyes gently retreated.
Qian Shao frowned.
The demonic beasts have already gained intelligence, and they still dare to approach even when we release the pressure of the Golden Core stage cultivators, so they must have something to rely on.
Zhong Lingxin and the others shared the same thought, thinking about the fourth-tier demonic beast, the Golden Crowned Eagle.
I fear that there might be some third or fourth-tier demonic beasts mixed in with those emerald green eyes.
Looking at the green light shimmering on the river, Qian Shao said softly, "I'm afraid we'll be attacked from both sides."
Li Shiyi was the most composed among the group. He suggested, "Let's split into two groups. Fighting at night is not advantageous for us. Let's use formations to stall until dawn tomorrow."
