Chapter 264: Chapter 264: The Commotion in the Formation, Humans are More Dangerous than Monsters!

In the void of the Wood Formation, there were not only beasts but also an abundance of spiritual medicine.

As time passed, Lu Chen also saw quite a few rare spiritual medicines.

Zhao Chang had given him a book called "Identification of Spiritual Medicines," which he had obtained from the old herbalist from heaven. It recorded the characteristics of spiritual medicines, which greatly broadened Lu Chen’s horizons here.

It was just a pity that Lu Chen didn’t have many jade boxes with him.

"Master, many of the spiritual medicines are guarded by beasts. Although we have not been attacked by beasts at this time, it may be because we have not disturbed the spiritual medicines. If we do, I’m afraid it will bring unnecessary trouble."

Every time Xiao Hei found a spiritual medicine, he would retreat a bit along the path they came, warning Lu Chen in advance, fearing that Lu Chen would go and pick them.

For a creature of its size, once it concealed its presence, even if a beast discovered it, it would scorn to lay a hand on it.

Typically, the beasts guarding the spiritual medicines also tended to hide their presence as much as possible, a natural instinct for them.

Xiao Hei, back in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, had done the same.

"Hmm, let’s not take the spiritual medicine for now," Lu Chen was not focused on this, knowing about the existence of Breath Soil, why couldn’t he cultivate any spiritual medicine he wanted later?

Moreover, he could cultivate spiritual medicines that were extremely old!

"That’s good," Xiao Hei was also relieved, afraid that Lu Chen wouldn’t be able to resist picking the spiritual medicine upon seeing it.

Wasn’t that how they met in the first place?

"Don’t worry, your master isn’t stupid."

Lu Chen smiled and was about to continue on with Xiao Hei when suddenly, from the depths of the dense forest, came a noise!

Lu Chen quickly stopped and called Xiao Hei back. After Xiao Hei had scampered into his sleeve, Lu Chen crouched down tightly against an ancient tree as thick as three people.

"Xiao Hei, is there demon qi?"

Xiao Hei poked his head out and said solemnly, "There is! It must be someone picking spiritual medicines here and then getting into a fight with the beasts!"

"Is it a cultivator or a martial artist?"

Lu Chen hadn’t considered the possibility that the Xuanji Sect Master would come to this place.

However, apart from Liu Ruyan and others, the Xuanji Sect had several Qi Refining Disciples.

Lu Chen was just worried that it might be Qin Yaotiao who was fighting with the beasts.

Xiao Hei seemed to sense his thoughts and whispered, "Master, it’s definitely not the Mistress. The Mistress left the Water Formation to find you, she wouldn’t conflict with the beasts over spiritual medicines! I’ve noticed that although there is a lot of dormant demon qi here, as long as we don’t disturb the spiritual medicines, the beasts will not act rashly!"

Lu Chen was reassured and also relieved inwardly. Even Xiao Hei could discern Qin Yaotiao’s character, and he naturally understood her even better.

"Could it be a cultivator? The beasts here are probably not something that ordinary martial artists can deal with, right?"

Lu Chen still remembered the news from the warriors of Zhou Country.

They had suffered countless deaths and injuries before finally finding the key to open the sanctuary.

But by now, Lu Chen had also come to understand that the so-called sanctuary was in fact a formation restriction, arranged according to the Five Elements True Principle.

And by entering through the formation portal, as long as one was careful, it was possible to avoid harm from the formation.

On the contrary, the most dangerous thing here was other people!

Of the dangers Lu Chen had encountered, there had been fewer from the beasts, even with the island behemoth, the sea serpents, and the last eight-clawed demon fish. As dangerous as they were, they posed less of a threat than the subsequent sneak attack by Shang Xiu and the forceful suppression by Zheng Linyin.

If it weren’t for his good luck, quick reactions, and effective use of what he had acquired, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to stand here.

Not to mention the later encounter with the Xuanji Sect Master!

"I wonder who that suddenly appearing Core Formation Stage was!"

Lu Chen muttered to himself, quietly crouching under the tree, completely concealing his breath. He had agreed with Xiao Hei to wait until the commotion over there ceased before going over.

Otherwise, if he rashly approached without understanding the beasts or the people there, who knew what he might encounter?

Lu Chen did not want to needlessly expose himself to danger!
