Mei Zhen was stupefied, then smiled bitterly and said, “Where did that come from, Yuntian? I’m not grumbling that Ye Yuan got too many, but because I feel that it’s too little. It’s just that I can’t really make a decision on this, that’s why I hesitated.”
When he finished speaking, he turned to Ye Yuan and said, “How about this, I’ll keep the rest of the Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers first. After returning, I’ll report to Sect Master about today’s events and request him to give you some more stalks.”
But Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, “No need. Five stalks are enough. Quickly harvest them, Elder Mei; we should set off already.”
With Ye Yuan saying this, Mei Zhen continuing to insist appeared rather corny. He could only put away the remainder Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers.
This Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flower was a core ingredient in a Tier 3 cultivation medicinal pill, the Essence Stabilizing Pill. Five stalks of Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers were enough to refine a hundred pills to Ye Yuan. It was plenty to use in the short-term.
Only after gathering the Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers did the Tranquil Cloud Sect group start advancing towards the depths of the mystic realm.
Having gone through the Mantu Flower Sea incident, the group did not dare to lower their guard again. They were on high alert the entire way. Fortunately, nothing major happened.
Rather, it was Ye Yuan’s discerning eyes that discovered pearls. He even obtained some rather rare Tier 2 medicinal herbs along the way.
But ever since the Orchid Heart Flower Sea, they did not encounter any more Tier 3 medicinal herbs.
On the way, Ti Wujiu who was silent the whole time suddenly asked Ye Yuan, “Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you previously said that this Mantu Flower is a grafting object. Doesn’t this mean that that sea of flowers has an owner? Could it be that this mystic realm . . .”
With Ti Wujiu saying this, all of them include Mei Zhen was stunned speechless!
Using Mantu Flowers to breed Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers, this was a huge expenditure! And this was even still the outer-most boundary of the mystic realm.
Li Zhangyu also said that there were even many Tier 4 medicinal herbs in this mystic realm!
If this mystic realm really had an owner, then everyone would be in danger. A faction that could create such a spectacle was likely even more powerful than the Heavenly Sky Sect!
Previously when everybody was listening to Ye Yuan talk about this Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flower, their minds were in a state of shock, resulting in them overlooking this issue.
Thinking about it now, the group could not stop breaking out in cold sweat.
Could such a powerful influence actually be hidden in this Southern Domain territory?
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu’s thinking is indeed meticulous. This place indeed had a master in the past! However, that should be something a long time ago.” Listening to the first half of Ye Yuan’s sentence, everybody’s heart involuntarily jumped. They only relaxed after hearing the second half.
Except, this strong contrast unwittingly left everyone feeling out of breath.
“How do you know, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye?” Ti Wujiu enquired.
“After ranked medicinal herbs absorb sufficient essence energy, they will reach a level of saturation. The essence energy in this place is abundant, that’s why it can sustain the medicinal herbs’ state of maturity. But those familiar with medicinal herbs can tell the difference in the herbs’ age. These Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers probably has the age of several thousand years already. If this place had an owner, it’s impossible to leave these Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers unchecked to fall into disuse for such a long time,” Ye Yuan explained.
Ye Yuan’s degree of familiarity towards medicinal herbs was hard to imagine by everyone. He only had to observe slightly to be able to tell the age of these Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers. That was why he was so certain.
“Moreover, this place has clearly been deserted for a long time. It’s overgrown with all sorts of weed, and demonic beasts run wild. It’s absolutely not a land with a master. If my conjectures are correct, this place might be some sect’s medicinal garden back then. It’s just that who knows what kind of accident befall the sect, resulting in it being deserted like this. This sect should be much more powerful than the present Heavenly Sky Sect!” Ye Yuan uttered his own conjectures.
Mei Zhen and the rest nodded their heads quietly when they heard it. This analysis was perfectly logical and reasonable, and it also dispelled their apprehension.
Ever since entering the mystic realm, unknowingly, everyone had already regarded Ye Yuan as the backbone.
When encountering anything, the first thing they thought of was not to seek advice from Mei Zhen but to ask Ye Yuan.
But the strange thing was that nobody felt that this was inappropriate, including Mei Zhen himself.
. . . . . .
The Tranquil Cloud Sect group did not move quickly.
After two days, they arrived at a dense forest.
“Quickly look! Isn’t that a Tier 4 medicinal herb, the Vermillion Lotus Iceheart Fruit?” a Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple cried out in surprise when he saw the bright red fruit not far away.
Tier 4 medicinal herbs belonged to items of strategic significance to the major sects in the Southern Domain! Even the Heavenly Sky Sect would also have bloodshot eyes when seeing Tier 4 medicinal herbs.
Previously, Skymaple practically expended all of Tranquil Cloud Sect’s Tier 4 medicinal herbs in order to refine the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill. This was also the reason why the pressure on him was enormous like a mountain.
Seeing the Tier 4 medicinal herb currently, it was hard for the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples to not feel agitated.
That disciple was about to pluck it while talking when he was held back by Ye Yuan.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Pang, don’t go over!” Ye Yuan said gravely.
“What?” Senior Apprentice Brother Pang froze and involuntarily broke into a cold sweat.
On the way, under Ye Yuan’s lead, they had already avoided several certain death scenarios!
So upon seeing Ye Yuan stop him, Senior Apprentice Brother Pang instantly realized his recklessness as cold sweat poured unceasingly.
This mystic realm was indeed just as the Heavenly Sky Sect said, there were natural treasures everywhere. But to want to obtain these natural treasures, one had to pay the price in blood!
These two days, the Tranquil Cloud Sect group also encountered many Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herbs along the way. But not one of these medicinal herbs’ surroundings was not abnormally dangerous!
Even for Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, a moment of carelessness would result in death at the scene!
But Ye Yuan lead everyone time and time again, avoiding the dangers. So up until now, the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not lose a single man!
In the beginning, they were still somewhat disapproving of Ye Yuan stopping everyone from harvesting the medicinal herbs.
Ye Yuan even utilized the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus avatar body because of this to probe multiple times. But the results made everybody’s hair stand on its ends.
After several times, everyone knew just how great the significance of Ye Yuan’s existence was!
If they did not have Ye Yuan, they would probably have to lose half their forces in just these two days. This would be an unbearable blow to the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
Ye Yuan was extremely familiar with these medicinal herbs’ characteristics. Some medicinal herbs had accompanying beasts, some had accompanying toxic entities. One careless move and they would succumb to it.
When Senior Apprentice Brother Pan got excited seeing the Tier 4 medicinal herb just now, he almost forgot the dangers previously and threw himself headfirst.
“Vermillion Lotus Iceheart Fruits have a type of accompanying demonic beasts called Seven-Colored Poison Spider. Its toxicity is extremely ferocious! Further
more, the poison spider’s size is very small, exceedingly difficult to detect. If one were carelessly bitten by it, Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would perish from the eruption of the poison within several breaths of time!” Ye Yuan said solemnly.
Senior Apprentice Brother Pan sucked in a cold breath. Cold sweat started pouring once more uncontrollably.
“Who’s there?!” Right then, Mei Zhen suddenly roared.
“This brat is indeed quite abnormal, to actually even know about this poison spider! Eh? You guys actually haven’t lost a single man until now. Looks like it’s all due to this boy’s credit! Heh heh, I already said before, boy, don’t bump into me in the mystic realm!”
“Wang Fan!” Several silhouettes appeared from the neighboring forest.
When Mei Zhen saw people coming, his brows involuntarily knitted together.

Wang Fan and Yu Feng brought the High Clarity Sect group out of the dense forest, their faces showing amusement like they had the Tranquil Cloud Sect within their grasp.
“To think that we met so soon! What a coincidence!” Wang Fan said with a cold laugh.
Mei Zhen snorted and said, “Wang Fan, I advise you to better not clash with us. Otherwise, let’s fight to the bitter end! You guys won’t be able to get any benefits either!”
But Wang Fan burst into laughter and said, “Bitter end? With the likes of you? Your Tranquil Cloud Sect even brought a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm disciple out to present a show. Are you even fit to fight to the bitter end with our High Clarity Sect? However . . . although this punk’s realm isn’t high, he is extremely abnormal, to even know about the Seven-Colored Poison Spider! Just a while back, we even lost a Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciple for the sake of harvesting this Vermillion Lotus Iceheart Fruit. But you all are actually completely unscathed up till now!”
Wang Fan took it all into his eyes the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s group’s performance earlier.
If not for Ye Yuan holding back that Senior Apprentice Brother Pang, his outcome now would definitely be the same as that disciple of theirs!
The High Clarity Sect beat the Tranquil Cloud Sect to this place but lost a Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciple. One could call it heavy losses.
They were currently thinking of ways to harvest the Vermillion Lotus Iceheart Flower when they just happened to see the Tranquil Cloud Sect people coming over. Hence, they found a place to hide, wanting to see the Tranquil Cloud Sect suffer a huge loss too.
That Senior Apprentice Brother Pang was about to rush up when he was forcefully held back by Ye Yuan.
These two days, two disciples already died on their side. It could be said to be heavy losses.
In contrast, seeing how the Tranquil Cloud Sect team looked exactly the same as they were when they entered made Wang Fan inadvertently furious.
This sort of contrast between expectations and reality made Wang Fan even more displeased when looking at Ye Yuan!
Looking at the situation earlier, this boy truly had many abnormal areas.
“Humph! After entering this mystic realm, life and death are up to fate! Your disciples died, but you can’t put this blame on our heads, right?” Mei Zhen snorted icily.
“So what if we lay it on you? When we just entered the mystic realm, if this punk just gave a light reminder, we wouldn’t have lost a disciple in vain too! Do you feel whether we should put this score on your heads or not?”
Mei Zhen involuntarily choked up, but Ye Yuan said, “What duty do I have to remind you? Even if I reminded you, will you be grateful to me? Will you not find trouble with me now?”
Having experienced several interactions, Ye Yuan had long seen through this Wang Fan’s character. He was simply some loose-principle person without any bottom line.
Even if he reminded the High Clarity Sect when he entered the mystic realm, it would also be the same situation right now.
This type of people basically did not know what was called gratitude!
“Hahaha . . . I said before, you, boy, your bones are very tough! Previously outside the mystic realm, I let you escape a calamity. Now, no one is going to step forward to mediate, right?” Wang Fan laughed maniacally.
Mei Zhen’s expression turned grave, and he said somberly, “Wang Fan! Don’t push us too far!”
But Wang Fan paid no attention. He said to Mei Zhen, “Mei Zhen, I give you all a chance. Hand over that boy, and I’ll let you leave. Otherwise . . . none of you shall escape!”
In Wang Fan’s view, they had two Sea Transformation Realm experts over on their side while the other party only had Mei Zhen alone. The disparity between both party’s strength was too great!
The Tranquil Cloud Sect simply stood no chance at all!
Mei Zhen’s realm was similar to his, both Third Level Sea Transformation Realm.
As long as he delayed Mei Zhen, Yu Feng could freely reap the rest!
Under such an enormous difference in strength, the Tranquil Cloud Sect team could only hand over Ye Yuan if they wanted to live.
. . . . . .
Wang Fan did not know that the target they previously robbed was currently observing everything not far off.
If Ye Yuan were here, he probably would not be able to recognize that these two women with unparalleled looks were the two people he saved!
How did the current Li-er and Yan-er still had any hint of ugliness right now?
Ignoring Li-er, even Yan-er who was a servant was soul-stirringly beautiful.
As for Li-er, it was simply impossible to find words to describe.
If one had to describe it, they could only say ‘such beauty should only belong to the heavens and not the mortal realm’?
But currently, Ye Yuan was completely oblivious to this.
“Miss, it seems like they are going to fight over there. Should we help save Mister Ye?” Yan-er transmitted.
Li-er shook her head and said, “Watch a while more.”
“Still watching? Mister Ye is only at the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Once they fight, he will be instantly killed in a single move!”
Ye Yuan gave the divine soul mystic art and Tier 8 medicinal pill to Li-er with any hesitation. This improved Yan-er’s impression towards Ye Yuan tremendously and genuinely treating him as a savior.
So when she saw that Ye Yuan was in danger, she could not wait to lend a helping hand.
In truth, with the pair’s strength, they did not need Ye Yuan’s saving at all. On the contrary, Ye Yuan’s appearance saved Wang Fan and his group instead.
If Ye Yuan did not show up at that time, this group from the High Clarity Sect would most likely already end up as a feast in the stomachs of the Cloud Dream Mountain Range right now.
Li-er and Yan-er did not wish to reveal their strength. That was why they purposely pretended to be Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.
Even the Sea Transformation Realm Wang Fan and Mei Zhen were unable to see through Li-er and Yan-er’s strength. One could see just how powerful they were.
So when Ye Yuan saved them both, master and servant, Li-er was still alright, but Yan-er did not welcome it at all.
One had to say that she was even more curious that a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist actually rescued them master and servant without any traces from a bunch of Sea Transformation Realm and Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.
But after Ye Yuan perceived Li-er’s ailment, Yan-er’s thoughts were completely turned around.
“It’s fine. If Mister Ye is really in danger, I’ll make a move in time. Our identities are special. We mustn’t make a move easily unless there are no other alternatives. Moreover, I also really want to see just where Mister Ye’s limit lies,” Li-er said composedly.
But Yan-er was not very supportive as she said, “I know that Mister Ye is kind of special, but what kind of limits can a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm
martial artist reach even if he’s strong?”
Li-er broke into a smile, her beauty unequaled. “That might not be so! I keep feeling that he’s extraordinary!”
“Alright, alright! Ever since that person left, it’s rare to see Miss pay so much attention to something. Do whatever that makes you happy then!”
Yan-er realized that she misspoke after she finished talking and involuntarily stuck her tongue out playfully, appearing embarrassed.
A hint of sorrow flickered across Li-er’s beautiful eyes. She shot Yan-er a fierce glare and no longer bothered with her.
. . . . . .
Mei Zhen gave Ye Yuan a glance and gritted his teeth as he said to Wang Fan, “Since that’s the case, then let’s fight to the bitter end!”
Wang Fan was confused and even thought that he heard wrongly.
He looked at Mei Zhen and the other Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples and saw that their faces actually revealed resolved looks!
Mei Zhen actually wanted to turn violent without even thinking?
One had to know that even though their High Clarity Sect lost two Crystal Formation Realm disciples, the power of Sea Transformation Realm was not something that Crystal Formation Realm martial artists could resist!
Were this group of people from the Tranquil Cloud Sect daft? Everyone did not want their lives anymore for a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm?
Wang Fan was completely ignorant of Ye Yuan’s significance to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!

“I’ll delay them. Yuntian, you quickly bring them away!” Mei Zhen drew his sword and said without even turning his head back.
Evidently, he already harbored the resolution to die and protect the others’ retreat!
In Mei Zhen’s heart, these disciples were all the sect’s future. Any one of them was more important than him.
He was only a sect elder without much room for improvement anymore, while these disciples were going to cause a stir in Southern Domain in the future!
