Xianxia: I Can Alter The Dates Of Herb Plants - Chapter 32

“Phantom clone?” Su Chen missed his attack. He was immediately shocked.

This kind of Phantom Clone Technique, which produced a phantom almost like a real person, was already out of the range of spells that a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator could cast.

“This person is a golden core stage Qi refinement cultivator!” In an instant, Su Chen identified the cultivation realm of this person. A golden core stage cultivator was too big of a threat to him. With his current cultivation level, it was impossible for him to contend against such an expert.

Just as Su Chen was about to jump away, he instantly felt an ice-cold murderous aura engulf his entire body from behind, causing him to shiver.

Immediately after, spiritual energy as vast as the sea came from behind him. A fiery fist with a terrifying heat that was hot enough to melt steel smashed onto his back.

Bang!

Su Chen was directly sent flying by the powerful force of the fist. The moment he was sent flying, Su Chen spat out a large mouthful of blood, which scattered on the ground.

So powerful! This was the strength of a Golden Core realm cultivator? Su Chen managed to use the Medicine Body Refinement divine ability to condense the Sword Spirit Grass in his body into sword Qi on his back, which was used to block the black-clothed man’s punch at the critical moment.

However, the power of the fist of raging fire unleashed was too powerful. It almost blasted the sword Qi out of Su Chen’s body.

The powerful shockwave immediately impacted Su Chen’s internal organs, causing him to suffer internal injuries. If it was not for the body Medicine Body Refinement Technique that blocked most of the impact, even if this punch could not kill Su Chen, it would have taken half of his life.

However, the black-clothed man’s attack continued. When he sent Su Chen flying, he appeared behind Su Chen. It was as if he had teleported silently.

The black-clothed man pointed at Su Chen. Immediately, a tiny flame shot out from the tip of his finger.

Chi!

A sharp blade swept towards Su Chen, who had already flown 100 meters away and crashed into the forest.

“Scorching Sun sword Qi?” Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from afar.

Then, a figure flashed, and a person rushed over like a gale.

“You are from the Flame Immortal sect? How dare you come to my Pure Yang sect to cause trouble!”

A white-robed old man appeared outside the forest. With a wave of his hand, a golden light shot into the sky and flew towards the Pure Yang Peak.

At this moment, Su Chen, who was sent flying by the black-clothed man’s punch, was in a desperate situation.

The black-clothed man wanted Su Chen’s life. Since his punch was unusually vicious and could not kill Su Chen, he unleashed a ray of seven-foot-long Scorching Sun sword Qi, which looked like a silk thread.

A ray of fiery light instantly caught up with Su Chen, who had crashed into the forest, and went around his neck.

The Scorching Sun sword Qi instantly plunged Su Chen into a sea of fire.

Roar!

An extremely dangerous feeling surged into Su Chen’s heart. Su Chen could not help but let out a roar that sounded like a wild beast that had been forced into a dead end. His voice was filled with endless anger and unwillingness.

Just as the Scorching Sun sword Qi was about to wrap around Su Chen’s neck, a layer of golden light shone from the position of his neck.

Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew in all directions. The moment the Scorching Sun sword Qi wrapped around Su Chen’s neck, it actually let out a sound of metal colliding. Then, it flew back into the hands of the black-clothed man.

Boom!

Su Chen smashed into the depths of the forest and immediately caused the ground to shake, immediately destroying a large tree.

At this moment, the white-clothed old man who had suddenly appeared was already attacking the black-clothed man. It did not take long for green vines to suddenly appear from the ground beneath the black-clothed man’s feet and wrap around him.

These were not ordinary vines. Every single one of them was covered with black spikes. Regardless of whether it was a human or a demonic beast, the moment they were entangled, the vines would split open their flesh.

However, the black-clothed man did not want to tangle with the white-clothed old man at all. The black-clothed man opened a scroll in his hand, and a magical spiritual energy fluctuation rushed out and surrounded his body.

The black-clothed man’s body immediately became blurry, and he actually disappeared in the instant before the countless vines wrapped around him.

A wave of ripples was gently spread out in the air.

“This…” The white-clothed old man was also shocked. “A Daoist magic scroll? It’s a high-grade scroll that seals space, a Great Teleportation Technique. Who is this person?”

At this moment, a vast spiritual energy fluctuation came from Pure Yang Peak, and it was like a shocking wave that surged out from the mountains.

In an instant, a figure appeared in the air, above the forest of the Tempered Spirit Peak. A purple-robed Daoist stood in the air, his entire body exuding a majestic aura. It was clear that he was an expert, looking downwards onto the forest!

“My greetings, sect master!” The white-robed elder outside the forest bowed slightly when he saw the purple-robed Daoist.

“Elder Lee, what’s going on!” The sect master of the Pure Yang Sect, Daoist Qingxu, looked around. The spiritual energy rippling in the surroundings had not yet dissipated, and he took notice of it. Daoist Qingxu’s expression changed slightly.

With Daoist Qingxu’s terrifying cultivation at the peak of the advanced stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his immortal soul could instantly reach an area of a hundred miles. However, even though he had arrived so quickly, the black-clothed man was still able to escape.

As Daoist Qingxu spoke, he pressed his palm down, and a body floated up from the depths of the forest. It was as if there was a rope pulling it towards Daoist Qingxu.

The person who rose from the depths of the forest was Su Chen.

At this moment, he was already unconscious. His body was covered in blood and he looked miserable, but there was still a trace of his aura.

The white-robed Elder was Elder Lee from the outer sect’s herb garden. “Sect master, someone was here to kill Su Chen just now.”

At this moment, Su Chen had already flown to Daoist Qingxu’s side. Daoist Qingxu lowered his head to take a look.

He saw that Su Chen’s eyes were tightly shut with a pained expression on his face. Shockingly, there was a wound on his neck that had been cut by a sharp blade. The flesh on the wound was quite serious, and blood was oozing out.

Daoist Qingxu was alarmed. Upon closer inspection, it was fortunate that it was only an external wound and did not injure his muscles, bones, and blood vessels.

“Who the hell is it!” Daoist Qingxu, who rarely lost his temper, could not help but feel a surge of anger rising in his heart. Divine light shot out from his eyes.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this moment, figures flashed above the forest, and seven old men in purple robes appeared one after another. They had sensed the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation that had burst out from the Pure Yang Peak just now, so they hurried over to see what had happened.

“Senior Brother, this…”

The chiefs of the seven branches were also shocked by the scene in front of them. The forest was in a mess, and the unconscious Su Chen was in Daoist Qingxu’s hands.

The sect master of the seven branches had lived for hundreds of years and was well-informed. He had a meticulous mind, and still, he did not know what had happened with just a glance.

Lin Xuehong, the sect leader of Qingyun Peak, said fiercely, “How dare someone attack the disciples of our sect in our place. How can this be?”

That person dared to attack Su Chen without restraint in the Pure Yang sect. This was equivalent to a resounding slap to the Pure Yang sect. The seven sect leaders were already furious.

“Elder Lee, tell the chief seats about that person’s characteristics.” Daoist Qingxu’s voice came from the sky. His tone was calm, but others could hear a trace of anger in it.

At this moment, Elder Lee told the branch chiefs about the black-clothed person’s characteristics.

“What!”

After hearing Elder Lee’s words, the branch chiefs and Daoist Qingxu were shocked. That black-clothed person’s identity seemed to be…

“Senior Brother, could he really be a member of the Flame Immortal sect?” Daoist Zixu’s tone was a bit hesitant. If the Flame Immortal sect was involved, then it meant that trouble was looming.

“Humph! Those who can cultivate the scorching yang sword Qi might not necessarily be members of the Flame Immortal sect. The Flame Immortal sect isn’t the only sect in the world that cultivates in the Scorching Sun Sword Technique,” Daoist Qingxu said after a moment of silence.

“It’s rare to see a scroll that seals the spiritual power of a Daoist or a high-level scroll like the Teleportation Technique.”

The black-clothed man who had tried to kill Su Chen actually dared to use the Flame Sword Technique, and he had used the teleportation scroll to escape. It was obvious that he was not afraid that the Pure Yang sect would investigate these two points.

Daoist Zixu frowned and said, “We can’t be careless about this matter. If we don’t handle it properly, it will cause a misunderstanding between us and the Flame Immortal sect. The consequences will be unimaginable!”

Daoist Qingxu thought for a while, and finally, he said, “Junior Brothers, it’s not a good idea to speculate here. You should go back first! Since that person was able to use the scroll that sealed the power of the Dao to escape, he must have had a plan. I should bring Su Chen back to Pure Yang Peak to treat his injuries first.”

The chiefs of the seven branches then bid farewell to Daoist Qingxu and flew back to their abodes at the speed of light. However, Daoist Danqing, the chief of the Pill Peak, was stopped by Daoist Qingxu.

“Senior Brother, is there anything else?” Daoist Danqing seemed to be surprised that the sect master senior brother stopped him from leaving. In fact, he was pretending.

As expected, Daoist Qingxu smiled. He looked at Daoist Danqing meaningfully and said, “Junior Brother Danqing, do you know why I stopped you?”

“Sigh! If I had known you’d ask for this, I wouldn’t have come here.” Daoist Danqing patted the storage bag on his waist somewhat helplessly, and a vermillion jade bottle flew out of the storage bag.

Daoist Danqing opened the bottle cap in pain, and a faint fragrance immediately wafted out of the jade bottle. The smell made one feel relaxed and refreshed.

Then, Daoist Danqing looked carefully at the number of pills in the jade bottle before pouring out a golden, round pill.
