n

n

nOne of them shouted loudly.

nHe narrowed his eyes slightly and did not look at Fang Yuan. His gaze was fixed on the other team.

n

"Junior, your teammate is already trapped in the blood lotus territory. If you meet any of our teams, you will definitely have no chance of winning. I advise you not to make a mistake and leave quickly!

"

n

"You are afraid that he will reap the benefits of others, right?

"

nThe other team chuckled and spoke to Fang Yuan instead.

n

"There is only one blood lotus. First come, first served.

"

n

"Junior, why don't you join my team? The three of us will take down the two of them. After that, the sect will split the rewards into three portions. We will definitely not let you suffer any losses. What do you say?

"

nWhile trying to persuade him to leave, the other side was trying to rope him in.

nHowever, Fang Yuan didn't agree to any of them and sat down calmly.

n

"Seniors, take your time to fight. I'll wait for you to get the blood lotus before I take my friend away.

"

nThe expressions of the two sides changed slightly.

n

"Then let's rely on our own abilities!

"

nAfter discussing among themselves, the two teams decided to leave one person to guard against Fang Yuan while the other entered the so-called blood lotus domain and tried to pluck it.

nA few Gu worms flew out and began to cast a shield around them as they slowly advanced.

nFang Yuan looked at the two people's positions.

nIt was just as he had expected.

nThey stopped five meters away from the blood lotus.

nThe defensive abilities of ordinary Gu worms were useless against the blood lotus.

nThe blood mist spread out and easily passed through the shield.

nBy the time they realized this, it was already too late.

nBoth of them were stunned and started to talk to themselves.

n

"Oh no.

"

nThe two people outside had a bad feeling, but they could do nothing about it. They looked at Fang Yuan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. The three parties were facing each other, but no one moved.

nJust as they wanted to observe for a while, the blood lotus' bright red petals quietly blossomed, spreading out a layer of blood-colored ripples.

nAs the ripples spread out, they enveloped all of them, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

nFang Yuan slowly turned his head and began to observe the surroundings. He found that they were already in an ancient ruin.

nSpiritual herbs and precious materials were everywhere.

nAny one of them would be worth dozens of times more than the blood lotus.

nWhat Fang Yuan was stepping on was a primeval stone that was half the size of a basketball court.

nAn illusion?

nThe two people on the side were shocked by the scene before them, and then they cried out wildly.

n

"It's a relic! We've run into a grotto-heaven!

"

nAs they spoke, they began to plunder the spiritual herbs and precious materials wantonly.

nThe people who had stepped into the blood lotus realm earlier seemed a little lost at first, and then they went into a frenzy.

nLi Tongzhou also gradually woke up. When he saw the scene around him, he immediately looked constipated.

n

"Fuck, why did the place change?

"

nFang Yuan only looked at them quietly.

nHe naturally knew about grotto-heavens.

nThis world was very big, and also very old.

nLegend has it that in ancient times, there were powerful Gu masters who died in a battle somewhere.

nThey would often use their strong spirit essence to open up a space before they died, setting up restrictions so that outsiders would not notice anything strange.

nAs long as the fated person could break through the restrictions, they could obtain their inheritance.

nAll the Gu worms and resources would be inherited by the fated person.

nIf it was a Tribulation Stage Gu master, even after a fierce battle, and most their resources were exhausted, whatever was left behind was still enough for ordinary people to cultivate to the Synthesis or even Void Realm.

nNo wonder they were so crazy.

nThis was a great opportunity.

nThe blood lotus' ability was indeed similar to a restriction before entering the grotto-heaven.

nBut Fang Yuan who had the True Sight Gu knew that this was just an illusion.

nHe did not say anything. As a golden light flashed in his eyes, under the True Sight skill, everything returned to its original form.

nThey were still at the peak of the Thousand Blade Valley, without any relics or so-called inheritances.

nFang Yuan's lips curled up. He did not expect the new Gu worm to be so useful.

nBut his recovery did not mean that the others could walk out of the illusion.

nAmong the six people on the top of the mountain, only Fang Yuan could move freely.

nLi Tongzhou was struggling, but he would not wake up for a while.

nThe rest were not worth mentioning. They were all immersed in the so-called heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

nIf they wanted to destroy it, they would have to start with the blood lotus.

nFang Yuan walked over.

nThe blood lotus seemed to have gained sentience. It knew that Fang Yuan was going to pluck it, so it wanted to make a final struggle.

nBut its effects were limited to this, it could only affect the mental brain region, and it did not have any offensive skills.

nIt was completely restrained by the True Sight Gu, and it was unable to pose any threat.

nIn the end, Fang Yuan pulled it up by its roots and held it in his hand.

nAt this moment, an unusually strong suction force came from his acupoints, rising all the way to his palm and absorbing the blood color on the blood lotus petals, dividing it into eight streams of light that entered the Gu worms' bodies.

nDing! You have absorbed the blood lotus essence, all Gu worms' cultivation efficiency has increased by 75%!

nThe efficiency had increased again!

nBut correspondingly, after the blood lotus lost its essence, the color of its petals had also faded a lot, and it looked a little dispirited.

nThis could not help but make Fang Yuan a little embarrassed.

nWould the sect still accept it after it had become like this?

nAnd the illusory realm that had trapped the few of them also dissipated with the departure of the blood lotus.

nThey began to return to normal, but their eyes were still filled with confusion.

n

"Where... where am I?

"

n

"Where are the ruins? Where are the ruins?

"

n

"The spiritual herbs that I took also disappeared. Strange.

"

nThe few of them looked at each other. The scenes had changed several times in a short period of time, making them a little dizzy.

n

"Sigh, what a pity. Senior, you actually managed to pluck the blood lotus.

"

nLi Tongzhou scratched his head, still wanting more. Recalling the scene that he had just experienced, he smiled awkwardly and asked,

"Did I do anything embarrassing just now?

"

n

"Yes, you suddenly took off my clothes for no reason. You then said something like 'Senior Wan, don't hit me,' but you looked like you were enjoying it,

" Fang Yuan recalled his actions and teased him.

n

"Ah?

"

nLi Tongzhou was shocked. He quickly lowered his head to check his condition and asked curiously,

"Am I not wearing my clothes…

"

nHalfway through his words, he looked at Fang Yuan's half-smiling expression and came to a realization.

n

"Fuck, you lied to me!

"

nFang Yuan pinched his chin and said seriously,

"It's not really a lie. You didn't take off your clothes, but you were saying those things, and your expression was real.

"

n

"...

"

nLi Tongzhou shut himself up.

nFortunately, there weren't many people here, or else he wouldn't have had a place to bury his face.

nThe other four people also saw the blood lotus in Fang Yuan's hand, and their expressions were a little ugly.

nBut in the end, they didn't fight over it.

nThey could see Fang Yuan's realm.

nHe was only at the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

nAmong them, there were already people who had stepped into the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and they were only one step away from the ninth layer.

nEven so, they were still affected by the blood lotus.

nThis also indirectly indicated that Fang Yuan's foundation was much deeper than theirs.

nIt was even possible that he had some unique points in terms of mental ability.

nIf they really fought, they would definitely not be able to resist Fang Yuan if he used an ability similar to the blood lotus.

nOne of them cupped his hands and bowed.

"Junior, speaking of which, it is all thanks to you, otherwise we would have been trapped in the illusory realm and let this thing absorb our lifeforce for nothing. I thank you again.

"

nThis was a Gu master who could let things go.

nWith him taking the lead, the others did not hesitate and thanked him one after another.

nIt seemed that the four of them did not intend to fight for the blood lotus.

nFang Yuan only nodded slightly and did not speak.

nLi Tongzhou's eyes brightened as he thought to himself.

n

"Pretending to be a silent expert?

"

n

"If there were any senior sisters and junior sisters present, you would definitely receive a lot of attention.

"

n

"I didn't know that Senior Fang was actually an expert in flirting.

"

n

"No, I have to learn this move. I'll find a junior to try it out on!

"

n

"How about Senior Wan? Who knows, she might also like a more aloof man?

"
