Chapter 109: Rapidly traversing the ancient ruins in two and a half hours
Jiang Chen had already grasped the true meaning and had no interest in the natural true meaning of the treasure land.
He immediately left the courtyard and went to Shennong Garden to find a True Essence Fruit tree. He picked a freshly ripened True Essence Fruit and put it into the jade box he had brought with him.
The True Essence Fruit in this jade box is proof that he entered Shennong Garden.
He then left Shennong Garden and returned along the same route he had come from.
Riding high on his success, he quickly arrived at the edge of the area covered by the array.
At this moment, two groups of people were facing off outside the archway, and they all had some injuries.
Even Qiao Song and Shen Yi had bloodstains on their bodies.
At this moment, several sharp-eyed disciples spotted Jiang Chen.
"Someone came out from inside."
Everyone looked over, and Jiang Chen had nowhere to hide.
He could only sigh and quickly walk out of the area covered by the formation.
Zhao Changzhou immediately came forward: "Junior Brother Jiang, what's the situation inside?"
Just then, a female cultivator dressed in red palace attire asked sternly, "What's the situation inside with that outsider kid?"
Jiang Chen glanced at her but didn't bother to pay her any attention.
"Judging from the tense atmosphere among these direct disciples, if they knew I had already obtained the token and seal, they would definitely try to seize them."
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands towards Zhao Changzhou and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, I have discovered something important inside that I need to report to the Hall Master."
The woman in palace attire persisted, "What important information have you discovered? Explain it clearly right here!"
Jiang Chen sneered, "Who do you think you are, you bastard? What gives you the right to order me around?"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the exit.
The woman in palace attire gritted her teeth in anger and drew her sword, ready to strike.
Qiao Song put his left hand behind his back and pointed his sword at the woman in palace attire with his right hand: "Want to make a move? It seems I wasn't ruthless enough just now!"
If you dare lay a hand on me again, I'll tear you to pieces, even if it kills me. I, Qiao Song, am a lowly cultivator, and my life is worthless.
"Being able to kill a few Core Formation cultivators, even in death, would be respectable."
He was covered in blood, blood still dripping from his longsword, and his face was filled with excitement, making him look like a god of death.
The woman in palace attire's expression changed drastically, and she took several steps back, not daring to utter a word.
At this moment, a tall, direct descendant male cultivator stepped forward: "Senior Brother Qiao, why bully a female cultivator?"
Since your outsiders are going out, we'll go out too, to avoid you making trouble.
Qiao Song didn't say anything more: "Okay, let's each go out one of us and confront each other face to face. Neither of us can complain."
The woman in palace attire stepped forward again: "Then I'll go out. I will definitely ask my martial uncle to punish these barbarians."
Jiang Chen ignored them and walked straight outside.
After crossing the mountain, we arrived near the entrance to the blessed land.
There were many corpses lying haphazardly here, more than thirty in total, and all of them bore the marks of bee stings.
He examined the faces of the corpses carefully and confirmed that they were not disciples of the Talisman Hall or the Guardian Hall.
"My previous underhanded trick actually worked! It killed over thirty of my direct disciples. I really struck gold."
"It's a pity that the woman in palace attire was watching me from behind, so I couldn't go to the beehive to subdue the poisonous bees. It's really troublesome."
Next time I enter a dream, I'll have to try to subdue the poisonous bees beforehand and let them kill people here.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked to the light screen at the entrance of the blessed land and stepped inside.
The scene before us changed, and barren mountains and swamps reappeared.
He looked down at the place where the flying boat had landed and saw five Core Formation cultivators there.
Besides Master Tiejian, Master Yuanfu, and Master Jinguang who came to deliver the message, there were two unfamiliar faces. They should be the protectors of those direct disciples.
Jiang Chen immediately stepped forward, approached the five Core Formation Realm experts, and bowed respectfully.
"Jiang Chen, an outer disciple of the Talisman Hall, pays respects to the Five True Immortals."
Master Yuanfu nodded slightly: "Jiang Chen, why did you come out so quickly?"
Jiang Chen immediately took out a jade box: "Reporting to the Hall Master, this disciple has entered Shennong Garden and harvested the True Essence Fruit, and has come to report."
When Yuanfu Zhenren took the jade box and opened it, the five Core Formation Zhenren gasped in shock.
Master Tiejian released his divine sense to investigate, then nodded: "It is indeed a mature True Essence Fruit, and it was just picked."
The fruit even carries the scent of Shennong's Garden; it can't be wrong.
Jin Guang Zhenren was unwilling to believe it, so he moved closer to examine it more closely.
After a moment of silence, he said, "You've only been inside for two and a half hours, yet you've already entered Shennong Garden and obtained the True Essence Fruit. That's incredibly fast."
When the palace-dressed female cultivator saw her elders there, her spoiled princess temper flared up again.
"The ancient ruins are fraught with danger, and even Core Formation cultivators dare not venture deep into them. Yet you were able to go deep into them and even obtain the True Essence Fruit."
Our direct disciples were attacked by poisonous bees, suffering heavy casualties, while you remained unharmed.
I believe you are colluding with the creatures within the ruins, working with them to harm your fellow disciples.
Upon hearing this, the three Core Formation cultivators, including Golden Light True Person, changed their gazes toward Jiang Chen, clearly intending to take the opportunity to erase his contributions.
Master Yuanfu's face was gloomy, but he remained silent.
Master Tiejian shielded Jiang Chen behind him: "The truth must be investigated carefully."
Looking at the tall and imposing figure of Master Tiejian, Jiang Chen grew bolder: "You yourselves are useless, yet you have the nerve to frame me!"
"After entering the ruins with my two senior brothers, Qiao Song and Shen Yi from the Guardian Hall, I used the Golden Armor Talisman for protection. We were then attacked by poisonous bees, but we were not injured."
"Poisonous bees mostly rely on sight and smell to locate their enemies, so I used a cloud-smoke talisman to protect the surroundings and released an insect-repelling incense to temporarily trap the bees, thus escaping a disaster."
"So many of you went in, and you couldn't even handle the poisonous bees? You're truly useless."
Upon hearing this, the three Core Formation cultivators from the direct lineage blushed and dared not question him further.
The woman in palace attire persisted, "Then tell me, how did you obtain the True Essence Fruit? If you can't explain it clearly, then you're colluding with the creatures in the ruins and betraying my Golden Cauldron Sect."
Jiang Chen was naturally not afraid at all, and briefly recounted the important things that had happened to him after he entered the blessed land.
Of course, he concealed the fact that he had set a trap to kill his direct disciples, almost had his body possessed, and had taken some spiritual herbs from the Shennong Garden warehouse.
Upon hearing from Jiang Chen that they had obtained the Guardian's Token and successfully entered Shennong Garden, the five Core Formation cultivators' eyes gleamed with greed.
With this token, one already has a certain degree of control over Shennong Garden, and can at least move freely within Yunze Blessed Land.
At this moment, Master Yuanfu, who had remained silent, spoke up: "Where is the token?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was even more disappointed: "Just now, when the core-forming disciples of the direct line were about to attack me, you didn't dare to speak up."
When it comes to grabbing the spoils, you're quite eager. With a leader like that, there's no future for me staying in the Talisman Hall.
Let's take this opportunity to settle our score with the Talisman Hall and switch allegiance to the Guardian Hall.
He immediately took out the token: "Master, the token is here."
Master Yuanfu immediately took the token and examined it carefully.
He then nodded repeatedly: "The material and crafting technique of this token are quite extraordinary. There is still a trace of Nascent Soul level magic power remaining in it. There is no mistake."
