The Gate Of Good Fortune

rld Crow Ghost Rattan King was his, and the more it could absorb and grow, the better it would be for him.

Only half an incense stick worth of time remained in the hourglass when Ning Cheng collected all the spirit herbs from the three sections.

Ning Cheng hurriedly rushed to the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King to help it finish off the six golems.
But he found the six golems utterly ruined at this time.
They showed no movement, nor was there any more spirit aura pouring into them to repair them.

At this moment, the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King had already reached the full circle of Starry Sky Rank 8.
Its body even started to show signs of an imminent breakthrough.

Ning Cheng was about to put away the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King.
He intended to first come out of this place before releasing the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King to face its tribulation.
It wasn’t a good idea to confront a tribulation in this place, but the next best option would be to use the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
However, since a great power had obviously set up this place, Ning Cheng didn’t dare to openly use the Mysterious Yellow Bead.

However, the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King, which always obeyed Ning Cheng’s command, surprisingly didn’t let Ning Cheng put him away.
Instead, it sent him an eager message.

“There’s a wood origin-attributed spirit vein below?” Ning Cheng muttered to himself in shock.

Sure enough, the feedback he received from the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King confirmed it once again.
There was indeed a wood origin-attributed spirit vein underground.

Ning Cheng took a deep breath.
No wonder the spirit herbs here grew so lush.
It was all because of that spirit vein.
Looking at the sand about to run out, Ning Cheng forcibly held back his inner greed.
He immediately grabbed the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King and the six golems’ remains before heading straight to the next door.

Suppose he possessed a spirit vein like this.
In that case, he could easily open up a vast spirit herb garden in the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
Even the dao fruit tree he had planted in the chunks of law soil that hadn’t yet bloomed would quickly blossom and bear fruits.

But it was still good that he couldn’t move the wood origin-attributed spirit vein right now.
First, he didn’t have the time.
Second, this wood origin-attributed spirit vein definitely ran through the entire Illusionary Fruit Orchard.
Therefore, even if he didn’t dig it up here, he could try at the next level just as well.
But more importantly, he didn’t know the consequences of pulling out this spirit vein.

Once he took out the spirit vein, it might alert the entire Grand Essence Realm.
At that point, it wouldn’t matter even if he was a Dao Transformation Pill Sage.
Even if he had Sheng Houtian to protect him, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the wrath of the entire realm directed his way.

Standing in front of the gate leading to the third level of the Illusionary Fruit Orchard, Ning Cheng directly took out the ingredients for the Harmony Bodhisattva Pill.
The primary spirit herbs required for the Harmony Bodhisattva Pill were the Heaven Harmony Immortal Grass and the Bodhisattva Dust Lotus.
The former, a currently extinct spirit herb outside.

The only reason why Ning Cheng had them was because he had harvested them from this level.
From this, one could only imagine the number of spirit grasses already extinct within the Grand Essence Realm outside.

The Harmony Bodhisattva Pill was a top-of-the-line Dao Transformation Spirit Pill.
Taking this pill would help the cultivator highlight the deficiencies in one’s dao heart and cultivation methods.
That way, the cultivator could take corrective measures in time before attempting to advance to the Dao Essence Realm.
The value of a single Harmony Bodhisattva Pill was simply something that couldn’t be measured in spirit crystals.
Even the currently non-extinct Bodhisattva Dust Lotus wasn’t something easily obtainable, even for the ten major forces.
But more importantly, even if you had all the ingredients, this pill was simply too difficult to refine, even for pill sages.

However, Ning Cheng had no problems in refining the Harmonious Bodhisattva Pill.
He managed to refine them just when the sand within the hourglass was about to run out.
Ning Cheng didn’t even wait and rushed up to the gate, just behind the pills, and passed through the moment it opened.

……

In the guest hall of City Lord’s mansion, the crowd was still discussing who had opened the thirteenth door.
The discussion had already gone on for several hours, but no one could come up with a conclusion.
Even the pill deities who failed in the pill refinement and got teleported out had no idea about who opened the thirteenth door of the Illusionary Fruit Orchard.

“I’ve heard that the medicinal gardens behind the thirteenth door of the Illusionary Fruit Orchard are very different from those behind the other twelve gates.
I heard that they’re all filled with extinct or extremely precious spirit herbs.
If any alchemist obtains these, he would be of immense merit to my Grand Essence Realm.
Even more so if he decides to take out these spirit grasses to pass on to the future generations.” A tall, purplish copper-faced man spoke up in a gruff tone.

Everyone here knew this speaker, the Profound Moon Spirit Gate’s current Sect Master, Fei Feng.
Grand Elder Fei Feng had taken up the mantle of Profound Moon Spirit Gate’s Sect Master after the previous Sect Master, Qi Changgui, suffered an accident.

There were no fools here either, and everyone understood what Fei Feng meant by those words. No matter who entered the thirteenth gate, the rare and extinct spirit herbs he obtained should be taken out and distributed to everyone. Spreading these rare spirit herbs to everyone ensured that they didn’t go extinct again.

Although it sounded noble on the surface, it was all to serve his selfish interests by evoking everyone’s greed. Would a major force willingly hand over the rare spirit herbs their alchemist obtained to others? Fei Feng only said this because his Profound Moon Spirit Gate didn’t have any accomplished alchemists.

“Sect Master Fei’s words make sense.
No matter who it is, they should stand for the perspective of my Grand Essence Domain and the Grand Essence Realm.
After all, we’re all cultivators of the Grand Essence Realm.” Shi Tianhe of 9-Revolution Sacred Dao Pond was the first to stand out and concur.

“Hehe, I’m afraid that even if this alchemist came out with all those rare spirit herbs, the Profound Moon Spirit Gate might not have enough resources to bid for them.” A Dao Transformation Holy Emperor from the Great Spirit Pill Sect let out a chuckle.
Although his cultivation couldn’t compare to Fei Feng’s, his Great Spirit Pill Sect was just as strong because of Jing Han.

Fei Feng gave a cold snort.
“The Illusionary Fruit Orchard was originally established by the great sages of our Grand Essence Realm.
They left it here to develop our Grand Essence Realm and ensure that spirit herbs didn’t go extinct.
Since the thirteenth gate has opened, we should follow the wishes of our Grand Essence Realm’s ancestors.
How can we talk about bidding for them?”
