Chapter 86 The Treasure Land of Shennong Garden

Although the elixirs in the ancient ruins are extremely valuable, they are not worth making the outsiders compromise like this.

After all, the herb garden has been neglected for many years. Even if there are still True Essence Fruits and Dragon Blood Ginseng, how many Foundation Establishment Pills can it refine?

The loyalists take the lion's share, so how much can the outsiders get?

"Senior Brother Guo, there must be other reasons why we outsiders are making such a compromise, right?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Lang smiled slightly: "I really can't hide anything from you. It's fine if you reveal what I said before."

But not a single word of what follows can be transmitted.

Jiang Chen knew that this was about to involve something rather confidential.

He nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

Guo Lang then whispered, "When Master Tiejian and Master Jinguang were exploring the herb garden, they discovered that the garden, under the combined effect of the formation and the environment, had become a treasure land."

Moreover, it's a second-grade treasure land called [Shennong Garden].

"I don't need to elaborate on how valuable a second-grade treasure land is, do I?"

The so-called treasure land is a place where the fortune of heaven and earth is bestowed.

What ordinary people call a "feng shui treasure land" is the most basic form of a treasure land.

However, such auspicious places can only subtly influence the fortunes of mortals, and have little effect on cultivators; they don't even qualify as first-grade auspicious places.

The Shennong Garden, a treasure land, is a place whose name suggests it is extremely beneficial for the growth of various medicinal herbs.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's heart pounded faster, and even his breathing became heavy.

"In other words, Shennong Garden can continuously produce Foundation Building Pills and other medicinal materials such as True Essence Fruit, and these medicinal materials will grow much faster."

If we outsiders were to take control of this Shennong Garden, we could completely establish our own independent entity.

Guo Lang nodded: "The value of Shennong Garden is not limited to this. Any plants planted in Shennong Garden will grow much faster."

Moreover, the plants there are vigorous and not prone to disease or death. Even some medicinal herbs with extremely demanding growing conditions can grow normally in Shennong's Garden.

Furthermore, the plants growing in Shennong's Garden have a certain chance of breaking through their own limitations and improving their grade.

"If we can control Shennong Garden, we outsiders will no longer need to be subservient to the loyalists."

Even when the demon race and the demon sect attacked Changyuan Mountain, their main objective was to seize Shennong Garden.

Unfortunately, Shennong Garden was discovered jointly by our outsiders and our own faction; we cannot possess it all ourselves.

"The higher-ups are currently discussing how to take over the Shennong Garden and how to distribute its treasures."

Jiang Chen was filled with doubt: "Even though Master Tiejian has ventured deep into it, why hasn't he taken Shennong Garden?"

Guo Lang sighed: "After all, it is the remains of an ancient sect, and there are many formations inside."

Although time has passed and most of the formations are in ruins, the remaining formations resonate with the heavens and earth, causing many changes.

When Foundation Establishment cultivators and Core Formation cultivators enter, their Dao Foundation and Golden Core will be continuously eroded. The more magical power they mobilize, the more severe the erosion will be.

"They can't even stay inside for long, let alone break through the formation and take over Shennong Garden."

"After several years of research, the experts have discovered the weakness of the ruins formation. Now they are discussing how to take over Shennong Garden and how to distribute the spiritual items obtained."

This [Shennong Garden] is extremely valuable. As long as we can acquire it, we can cultivate Foundation Establishment cultivators in large numbers.

A treasure land of this caliber could absolutely serve as the foundation for a powerful Core Formation cultivator.

Although this treasure land cannot produce Core Formation spiritual items, the Core Formation stage only has an extremely low success rate and does not involve life or death.

Even if the breakthrough fails, it will only result in a severe loss of vital energy, and at worst, damage to the foundation, preventing further advancement in cultivation.

Even if a cultivator reaches the peak of Foundation Establishment, they will still attempt to form their core, even without a core-forming spiritual object.

As long as there are enough Foundation Establishment cultivators, a few Core Formation cultivators can always be drawn out.

Moreover, given the right conditions, a prime location can continue to grow.

Just like the Golden Cauldron Sect's Grade 3 treasure land, [Gathering Gold Mountain], it was originally only a Grade 2 treasure land.

For thousands of years, the Golden Cauldron Sect has continuously collected various metallic natural treasures and invested them in its cultivation.

Only in this way can Jujinshan go further and become a top-tier treasure land.

Shennongpu, a treasure land, naturally has this potential. With long-term cultivation, it is also expected to become a top-grade treasure land.

Moreover, Shennong Garden can directly cultivate various precious spiritual herbs, which are far more valuable than the precious refining materials and magical artifact enhancements produced by Jujin Mountain.

Jiang Chen also gleaned important information from Guo Lang's words.

"Senior brother, you said that there are formations in the ancient ruins where Shennong Garden is located that can erode the foundation of one's Dao and the Golden Core."

"If that sect wants to take over Shennong Garden, wouldn't they be using the lives of us Qi Refining cultivators to pay for it?"

"The matter that the two factions' leaders are discussing now should be how many people we've sent in from outside."

"After we take over Shennong Garden, how much of the quota will we outsiders get?"

Guo Lang smiled enigmatically: "You guessed it yourself; I didn't say anything."

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't expose him, and immediately said, "Of course I guessed it myself."

"I just want to know, will the loyalists send someone over?"

Guo Lang's expression was somewhat strange: "Junior brother, stop playing dumb. Can't you guess whether the direct line faction will send someone?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen naturally understood what he meant.

If the direct line doesn't send anyone over, how many good things are in Shennong Garden? Won't it all be decided by the outsiders?

Although the Shennong Garden itself is the most valuable, the medicinal herbs that have grown there for countless years are also extremely valuable.

If all these things fall into the hands of outsiders, Iron Sword Master might be able to use these precious medicines to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Even a Nascent Soul sword cultivator who has just broken through can still crush a Nascent Soul ancestor from a direct lineage.

"So, it won't be long before the sect selects its best Qi Refining cultivators to enter Shennong Garden?"

Guo Lang shook his head: "Not so fast. After observing for the past few years, we can confirm that the formations in those ancient ruins have a fluctuating pattern."

When the ruins were first discovered seven years ago, the formation should have been at its weakest point. Otherwise, it wouldn't have revealed its flaws and been discovered.

"More than two months after our Jin Ding Sect people discovered the ruins, the power of the formation began to increase."

About two and a half years ago, the formation reached its peak power. Even the Nascent Soul elders of the direct lineage, though present, didn't dare to venture in and investigate.

"The peak period lasted for about two months, and then the power of the formation began to weaken again."

Just half a month ago, our outsider, True Person Qingyan, and our direct descendant, True Person Baojing, went to investigate and discovered that Core Formation cultivators could already endure inside for half a quarter of an hour.

"The higher-ups estimate that this formation's fluctuation cycle is about nine years. Both its strongest and weakest states will last for about two and a half months."

"The power of the ruins formation will likely reach its lowest point in about two years. At that time, the sect will definitely recruit a large number of experts in the late Qi Refining stage to enter it."

"If one can achieve great merit in Shennong Garden, one will surely reap immense benefits. What are one or two Foundation Establishment Pills compared to that?"
