“Young master, I’m going in then,” Cheng Qi said reluctantly before walking into the cave alone and blocking the entrance with a huge boulder.

Li Tianyan stayed outside the cave. He found a place to sit down and adjust his breathing, taking out a light mirror to observe the scene in the valley.

When he left, he had left the spiritual eye magic weapon in the valley. Now, he intended to check the hiding place of the flower demon and see if he could find the spiritual objects in the valley.

Although Cheng Qi was ready to build his foundation, he just reached the peak of the ninth level and still needed to convert all his spiritual power into true spiritual energy. This would take time, so Li Tianyan remained outside the cave, never leaving.

Nearly two months passed without any movement in the cave, and the true form of the flower demon in the valley had not yet been found.

The image in the light mirror in Li Tianyan’s hand kept changing, and his spiritual eyes kept searching.

If he couldn’t find the true form of the flower demon, he would have to cut down all the roots. This was a huge task, and he didn’t know if the remaining months would be enough for him to complete it.

Just as he was thinking about this, Li Tianyan suddenly twitched his nose and looked up in a certain direction.

Sure enough, not long after, he saw a group of Haoyue Immortal Sect disciples in white armor approaching with swords. Li Tianyan took a look and found that most of them were foundation-establishment cultivators, with a few Qi-condensation cultivators following. Cheng Yu was not among them.

Realizing that those disciples were coming toward him, and with Cheng Qi at a critical moment, Li Tianyan didn’t want to cause more trouble. He restrained his aura and hid.

The group did not notice him and flew straight over the mountaintop where he was, eventually landing outside the empty valley. Li Tianyan couldn’t help but frown at this.

As soon as they landed, everyone hurriedly checked the empty valley. “Senior Brother Wei, is this the place?” someone asked.

“Yes, it is marked on the map that this is indeed the Spiritual Medicine Valley,” Wei Yang nodded, though there was a bit of hesitation on his face. “Junior Brother Xie. According to the data, there is a flower demon in the Spiritual Medicine Valley. Are you sure we can go in this time?”

“It’s just a flower demon at the peak of Foundation Establishment. There are so many of us, and I borrowed a magic weapon from my Master. We should be able to deal with it,” Xie Haocui said calmly, though his words were full of arrogance.

Geng Kai, Xie Haocui’s number one follower, nodded in agreement. “Senior Brother Xie is well prepared. This time, the flower demon will retreat obediently and not dare to cause trouble.”

Someone else in the team said, “I heard this valley is full of spiritual herbs, even of ten-thousand-year. The seniors who originally discovered this valley have already gone to the upper continent.”

When they heard about the upper continent, all the disciples showed longing in their eyes. It was rumored that the resources in the upper continent were rich and full of spiritual energy, with countless high-level cultivators. Naturally, many people wanted to go to such a place.

However, some people looked worried, “Having said that, more people had died in this valley too.”

Geng Kai retorted, “The cultivators were going against the will of heaven. If they wanted to be successful, why did they need to earn a lot of things? We should not be greedy. Furthermore, the magic weapon in our Senior Brother Xie’s hand could deal with the flower demon.”

After hearing this, some of the disciples who wanted to retreat didn’t know what to say, and when they thought of Xie Haocui’s magic weapon, everyone felt much more at ease.

Li Tianyan listened to the conversation of these people and saw them walking to the entrance of the phantom formation. More than ten people formed a sword formation and struck together, opening a gap in the phantom formation, and then all of them submerged into the valley. His brows could not help but frown even more.

It turned out that someone from Haoyue Immortal Sect had entered the valley a long time ago, and they made a detailed records about the valley. However, the flower demon in the valley at this time was not a peak foundation-establishment anymore, but a genuine Core Formation cultivation level.

Just after a group of people entered, Li Tianyan accidentally discovered the true form of the flower demon. The flower demon seemed to have noticed someone coming, and in a moment of excitement, he accidentally exposed a flaw.

Li Tianyan immediately wrote down the location, then controlled the spiritual eye magic weapon and went to the entrance to check on the situation of Haoyue Immortal Sect disciples. He found the place where he battled with the flower demon had been restored to its original state, and there were no traces of the fight at all.

“This is the Spiritual Medicine Valley. It’s so beautiful.” As soon as those disciples entered the valley, they were mesmerized by the scenery here. Several people could not wait to see the spiritual plants.

“Shi Yue, don’t walk so fast. We’d better follow the two senior brothers closely.” A thin female cultivator grabbed her companion and said nervously.

But the other party looked disapproving, “It’s fine, the flower demon must be hiding deep in the valley. Let’s take a look around first.”

After speaking, Shi Yue saw the figure of spiritual herbs and ran up to check in surprise.

Other disciples also discovered several rare spiritual herbs one after another. Such a harvest naturally made everyone happy. “The Spiritual Medicine Valley is truly worthy of its reputation.”

“I picked so many spiritual herbs just after I came in. At this rate, there is no need to enter deep. The flower demon must be hiding deep in the valley, so let’s just walk around and it won’t be a waste of time.”

Li Tianyan watched the group of people walking in the valley for most of the day, and they had already passed the place where he and Cheng Qi were walking. The flower demon also made no movement and seemed to be waiting for them to go deeper. Seeing this, Li Tianyan couldn’t help but sigh and turned to look at the cave where Cheng Qi was retreating.
