Gu Shuyu restrained his aura and no longer exerted pressure on Shen Ran.

The competition between the two of them ended.

Shen Ran also retracted his mystic light, his eyes still calm.

He originally wanted to use the Netherworld True Scripture to deal with Gu Shuyu, but he did not expect Gu Shuyu to stop.

It didn’t matter. He didn’t have to show his true strength now.

After both sides stopped fighting, the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect were also released and returned to the crowd.

Liu Nanzhi walked to Shen Ran’s side, her eyes filled with endless admiration.

Shen Ran’s charm had already been firmly engraved in Liu Nanzhi’s mind.

She was also more affirmed that Shen Ran’s achievements in the future would definitely be that of a True Emperor.

Chen Beixuan’s wish was dashed. Seeing the two of them behaving intimately, he was even angrier.

Especially when he saw the way Liu Nanzhi looked at Shen Ran. It was clearly admiration and worship.

But in his previous life, this attention should have belonged to him!

“Shen Ran!” Chen Beixuan gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Soon, the array formation outside the forbidden area fluctuated.

The spiritual herbs in the forbidden area were about to mature.

Lei Qianren’s eyes lit up.

The reason why he rushed to the Rose Forbidden Land was for the spiritual herbs here.

Unexpectedly, the timing was perfect.

Shen Ran also turned his gaze back to the forbidden area, and his expression changed slightly.

“Shen Highness, let’s go in too.” The disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect at the side were already full of admiration for Shen Ran. It could be said that they would follow him obediently.

Shen Ran nodded.

Then, all the forces led their subordinates to the forbidden area to fight for spiritual herbs.

The originally dark green spiritual herbs were completely ripe and emitted a rich fragrance.

However, these were all ordinary herbs. What they were looking for were naturally incomparably precious spiritual herbs that were at least a hundred or a thousand years old.

The forces each chose a direction and led everyone to disperse.

At this moment, after Xiao Han retracted his gaze, he fell into a daze and shock and had not recovered for a long, long time.

Regarding the scene of Gu Shuyu and Shen Ran’s confrontation just now, he could not understand why Gu Shuyu would lose.

Inside his jade pendant, Elder Yan said slowly, “Little Han, this person will be your greatest enemy. Do you believe me or not?”

Xiao Han was still unconvinced and immediately retorted, “Shen Ran only fought with his aura. Even if he won, it doesn’t mean anything. He’s just bluffing and playing tricks.”

“Gu Shuyu was deceived by Shen Ran’s bluff just now. That’s why he was afraid and didn’t dare to attack,” Xiao Han insisted, refusing to admit that Shen Ran had relied on his ability.

In addition, he was already jealous of Shen Ran, making him dislike him even more.

When Elder Yan heard this, he let out an old laugh and warned patiently, “Little Han, although you have me as your trump card, don’t underestimate the people of this world. However perfect the things may be, there may always appear better ones.”

“Shen Ran is inscrutable, and he’s good at hiding his true strength. His physique is heaven-defying. Not to mention the Supreme Bones, there’s also the Ancient Immortal Eyes and the Chaos Body. Such a genius is definitely a demon in my era.”

“Such a genius but he doesn’t show his talent at all. He knows when to stop. It shows that he’s smart.”

Elder Yan was not stingy with his praise for Shen Ran. He even exclaimed with admiration.

When Xiao Han heard this, his expression immediately turned ugly. His hatred for Shen Ran was mixed with a few emotions.

It was not only because of Zhao Honglian, but also because of envy, competition, and even jealousy of a rival in love.

Elder Yan was clearly his grandfather. Ever since his jade pendant was activated, he had been by his side and giving him advice from time to time. But now, Elder Yan was actually praising others.

Xiao Han had mixed feelings and did not speak for a long time.

At this moment, Elder Yan realized that something was wrong with Xiao Han’s expression.

As an old man who had lived for countless years, how could he not know Xiao Han’s emotions?

The current Xiao Han was clearly jealous because he had complimented Shen Ran.

Elder Yan raised his head and laughed. Then he comforted him. “Little Han, don’t worry. This mystic realm was opened by me. As long as you obtain the Fire Phoenix True Flame and cultivate my Heavenly Flame Technique, you will definitely be able to become a Martial Monarch Realm expert in the future.”

Hearing this, Xiao Han was comforted. His confidence soared again, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Therefore, under Elder Yan’s guidance, he had already broken through the array formation and entered the depths of the mystic realm, preparing to collect the Fire Phoenix True Flame hidden here.

Meanwhile, after Shen Ran and the other geniuses entered the Rose Forbidden Land, many cultivators quickly dug up all the spiritual herbs in the forbidden area.

White Spirit Grass, Cold Tobacco, Jade Marrow Zoysia, Seven Star Grass, Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Earth Mushroom Flower, Silver Horn Leaf, Rainbow Grass…

Many such spiritual herbs could be refined into sixth-grade or even seventh-grade high-grade pills.

The medicinal fragrance here was rich and filled with spiritual energy. The medicinal effect of the herbs was more than ten times stronger than elsewhere.

The Beast Taming Mountain, the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Zhou, Xu, and Zhao families had already picked many spiritual herbs.

However, these spiritual herbs were nothing to Shen Ran.

He saw the other disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect heading to various places to dig, but he did not do anything. He just strolled idly, going around and looking out of place.

On the other hand, Liu Nanzhi, who was following Shen Ran, seemed abnormally excited after entering this forbidden mystic realm.

“Wow, this is simply an excellent medicinal field. There are all kinds of spiritual herbs here.”

Liu Nanzhi searched around for a while and quickly found the herb she had wanted for a long time, the Cloud Grass Herb.

The Cloud Grass Herb was shaped like a lingzhi. It was white and fleshy. Its roots were emerald green and were covered in layers of crystals.

This was the spiritual medicine she wanted to obtain in this mystic realm.

Now that she had obtained it successfully, she was satisfied.

“Shen Highness, thank you. If you hadn’t brought me into this mystic realm, I wouldn’t have successfully obtained it.” Liu Nanzhi’s face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with starlight as she looked at Shen Ran with extreme admiration.

“It’s fine. There’s no need to thank me.” Shen Ran only nodded without much expression.

Liu Nanzhi nodded obediently and put away the spiritual grass in her hand.

At this moment, a cold expression appeared on Chen Beixuan’s face.

He had already obtained the spiritual herbs and pills he wanted. There was no point in entering.

“Shen Ran, when I obtain the Fire Phoenix True Flame, I will definitely make you pay the price!” Chen Beixuan looked at the mystic realm in the forbidden area and revealed a sinister smile.

He had to rush to the next mystic realm in advance.

According to his previous life’s memories, Chen Beixuan accurately learned that the Fire Phoenix True Flame was in the next mystic realm.

At that time, it was taken away by a young man from a small family.

This young man was also after this Heavenly Flame, so he had to be one step ahead.

Chen Beixuan’s expression turned cold. He would not let anyone take this opportunity away.

He turned into a stream of light and quickly rushed to that mystic realm.
