High above the ground, the mountain chains zoomed by underneath Lu Xuan.

He was currently sitting on a giant black eagle.

The eagle was over thirty feet long, with its wings spread out to more than ten feet, covered in black feathers that were sharp as blades, and it was incredibly fast.

A Grade Two Monster, an Iron Feathered Hawk, raised by the Wang Family. Lu Xuan had seen a Grade Three Iron Feathered Hawk in a market before, and it was more than twice the size of this one.

Surrounding the Iron Feathered Hawk was an energy shield that protected against the piercing winds in the high altitude.

The giant eagle was very stable in flight, giving no sense of turbulence on its back.

On the back of the eagle, including the two high-order Qi cultivators of the

Wang Family, were nearly twenty people.

“Friend Lu, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

A cultivator with a simple appearance slowly moved towards Lu Xuan.

“Hello, Taoist friend He.” Lu Xuan greeted with a smile.

The cultivator’s name was He Ping, a Spirit Plant Master. Lu Xuan had once met him in Bai Cao Tang. He supposedly had some relation with a Pill Master who was also a Foundation Establishment Alchemist and managed a medicine garden for Bai Cao Tang.

In total, there were fifteen Spirit Plant Masters who were going to the Secret Land to’assist the Wang Family with spirit plants, including Lu Xuan. Three of them were associated with Bai Cao Tang.

Lu Xuan observed them and noticed that the fifteen Spirit Plant Masters were mostly mid-stage Qi practitioners. Only one elder had high-stage Qi cultivation.

At least on the surface, that was the case.

-I saw you observing others just now, and I gather that you might not be familiar with the Spirit Plant Masters here. Would you like me to introduce them?” He Ping asked with a smile.

“Please go ahead. It would be much appreciated,” Lu Xuan responded, very much eager for the information.

“These ten or so people are all quite skilled in cultivating Spirit Plants, which is why they were invited by the Wang Family.”

“The high-grade Qi practitioner leading them is a member of the Wang Family.”

He Ping introduced one by one. Indeed, just as Wang Ruohai had mentioned, most of the Spirit Plant Masters were quite extraordinary. Lu Xuan felt more reassured.

“Can Friend He tell me about the Secret Land?” Lu Xuan asked.

“You mean you’ve never been into a Secret Land?” He Ping asked in surprise, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.

“I must admit, I have not.”

Lu Xuan replied honestly.

“Due to my average cultivation and mediocre combat skills, coupled with a fear of death, I dismissed the idea of venturing into Secret Lands in search of opportunities. Instead, I’ve focused solely on cultivating Spirit Plants.

“No wonder you, at such a young age, have superior planting skills. It must have been due this.”

He Ping adjusted his attitude.

“Secret Lands generally come from two sources. One is the remnants from ancient times. These may hold great opportunities, but they’re also fraught

with danger.”

“The second kind is formed through the fortuitous interplay of natural forces, creating their own unique environments. If they’re relatively new, they usually contain large amounts of cultivation resources, but also many Demon Beasts and Demon Envoys. These lands present both opportunities and risks.”

“This time, the Secret Land we are going to enter is the second type.

He Ping explained unstoppably.

Half a day later, the Iron Feathered Hawk gently landed in a valley.

There were already cultivators from the Wang Family waiting on the side. When they saw the Iron Feathered Hawk fold its wings, they walked over with a large chunk of Demon Beast meat.

-We are now at the edge of the Secret Land. From here, me and Taoist friend Li

Jianfeng will guide you all to our destination.”

The scholarly and refined Wang Ruohai said, chuckling.

Lu Xuan curiously looked around; the majestic mountains, towering trees, his spiritual sense could feel they were being concealed by some unknown spiritual power.

This valley was a stronghold for the Wang Family; if other cultivators wanted

to enter the Secret Land, they had to find another way.

Following Wang Ruohai’s gesture, a middle-stage Qi practitioner stepped forward, used a magic mirror to open the restriction outside the Secret Land, spiritual energy surged, and a small door, wide enough for two people, appeared before everyone.

Lu Xuan and the other Spirit Plant Masters followed behind the two members

of the Wang family, walking in single file.

In a trance, Lu Xuan arrived at a strange space. Everywhere he looked was desolate, a few odd plants grew sporadically on the black and red soil, and the sky was dark and gloomy.

“This is the outer ring of the Secret Land. We speed up and head directly to our destination.”

The always silent, Li Jianfeng, said solemnly. His figure shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

More than ten Spirit Plant Masters either exhibited their body techniques or activated their Magical Artifacts, closely following behind.

Lu Xuan also applied two Swift Talismans to his legs, keeping himself in the middle towards the back of the crowd.

Along the way, life began to appear in the desolate land, and as they went deeper into the Secret Land, Lu Xuan began to notice traces of cultivators.

However, seeing their large number of people and a high-tier Qi practitioner leading the team, the loose cultivators they encountered along the periphery of the Secret Land, fled like frightened birds.

Half an hour later, Lu Xuan and his group arrived in front of a mountain full of peculiar rocks.

Weaving their way through the rocks, they finally arrived at their destination.

“We’re here.”

Wang Ruohai pointed to a spot along the waist of the mountain.

Along the waist of the mountain, many dark and red peculiar stones were lined with several inconspicuous dark red odd grasses.

About two feet long, they drooped on the surface of the rock wall, their shape was curved, and their ends were very thin. They grew densely together, looking like a bunch of weird tentacles.

“Dragon Beard Grass, a second-level spirit plant. However, the Dragon Beard Grass here, under the influence of the special environment of the Secret Land, has undergone a certain mutation. Many of its dark red whiskers have a certain degree of aggressiveness. Usually, it is no different from regular Dragon Beard Grass, but it suddenly attacks cultivators during or after harvesting.” “The attack strength isn’t substantial, approximately equivalent to a second or third level Qi Cultivator. But since they are mixed with the harvested Dragon Beard Grass, they often cause damage to regular Spirit Plants, which is very annoying.”

“Moreover, regular Dragon Beard Grass also has some strange components infused into it, which are difficult to detect and separate, making the second-level Spirit Plant difficult to have corresponding value.” “Therefore, we have to rely on you Spirit Plant Masters, using your experience in cultivating Spirit Plants to identify the mutated Dragon Beard Grass, and separate the specific components inside the normal Dragon Beard Grass for careful harvesting and giving to us.”

“Here are one hundred Spirit Stones as part of the pre-payment. After we leave the Secret Land, there will be a large amount of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicine to thank you all.”

“The Spirit Plant Master who handles the most Dragon Beard Grass will also receive substantial additional rewards.”

Wang Ruohai took out a large number of Spirit Stones from his storage bag, divided it into fifteen smaller piles, and floated them in front of Lu Xuan and the others.

“One hundred Spirit Stones, worth somewhere between a First Grade and Second Grade Magical Artifact, are pretty good.”

Lu Xuan accepted the one hundred Spirit Stones with a smile and put them in his storage bag.

“However, it’s not worth risking my body for, I can just slack off behind the other Spirit Plant Masters.”

Lu Xuan thought quietly to himself.

The several middle-stage Qi practitioners from the Wang Family began to set up camp, and among the Spirit Plant Masters, some already walked to the Dragon Beard Grass, holding up their shield artifacts, carefully observing the Dragon Beard Grass.

A few others gathered together, quietly discussing how to identify the regular Dragon Beard Grass.

Lu Xuan followed behind these people, nodding in agreement from time to time, looking at the several Spirit Plant Masters who had already ventured into the Dragon Beard Grass territory, he curled his lips in a scoff.

“One hundred Spirit Stones, what are you risking your life for!”
