Chapter 52: Racing Against Time to Seize the Opportunity!

"Great, the energy membrane has closed!"

"Hehe, Sister Shui Yan, those guys actually wanted to follow behind us and take advantage, now they don't even have a door to enter!"

Lin Xue'er and the other two looked back, and seeing that Zhang Kuang and the others were all blocked outside, they immediately smiled with joy.

Yet at this moment, Luo Shuiyan noticed a slightly familiar face among the crowd.

"Qi Hai? So he really came too..."

The person who felt somewhat familiar to Luo Shuiyan was none other than Qi Hai, who had been hiding in the shadows all along.

In her previous life, this Qi Hai was among those who competed with Luo Shuiyan for the treasure here.

However, in the end, the most important inheritance of that sect was still obtained by Luo Shuiyan.

This was also the first great opportunity Luo Shuiyan obtained in her life.

It was precisely this opportunity that allowed her to embark on the path to becoming the Empress in the future.

As for Qi Hai, he also had his own developments later on in his cultivation.

It was just a pity.

Luo Shuiyan heard that Qi Hai seemed to have provoked an extremely massive power.

He was hunted down by this entire power, to the point where there was no news of him in the end.

"Everyone must hurry, this restriction was already weakening significantly as time passed."

"Now, after my breaking of it, the power of the restriction has drained away quite a bit more."

"If I am not mistaken, there is a high probability that this restriction will completely collapse within five days!"

Luo Shuiyan withdrew her gaze and turned to instruct Lin Xue'er and the others.

What she said could already be considered a relatively conservative estimate.

Because if that Qi Hai and the mysterious Soul Body inside Zhang Kuang were to act together, the speed at which this restriction collapsed might be even faster! Therefore, they had no time to waste and must obtain the opportunity here as quickly as possible.

Outside the Ancient Restriction, Qi Hai, who had suddenly darted out from the darkness, was now surrounded by Zhang Kuang and his group.

Because they had missed the opportunity and watched the crack close before their eyes, everyone felt a nameless fire burning in their hearts.

Now, looking at the Qi Hai who had popped out, their expressions were all somewhat unkind.

"Boss, I've seen this person; he is from the Key Class One, seems to be called Qi Hai."

Hearing the words of the student beside him, Zhang Kuang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked Qi Hai up and down.

"Oh? So it's a genius from the Key Class One."

"How did you get here? Have you been secretly following us all along?!"

Zhang Kuang's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

The fat meat he had been eyeing was snatched away by someone else, and there was actually someone hiding behind his back, preparing to play the role of the oriole behind the mantis.

"Following? You say I was following you?!"

Hearing Zhang Kuang's words, Qi Hai couldn't help but want to laugh.

He had picked up an ancient book and originally thought it was a secret.

But it turned out this secret seemed to be shared, and everyone knew it...

"Everyone, I was walking in front of you; even if anyone was following, it was you following me!"

Facing more than a dozen students from the Ordinary Class, Qi Hai did not show any panic, his expression remaining calm and composed.

"He isn't lying about that; this kid did indeed arrive before you."

"I discovered him hiding in the shadows a long time ago," Lao Huang said to Zhang Kuang at this moment.

"What did you say? You discovered him a long time ago? Then why didn't you tell me?"

Lao Huang's words made Zhang Kuang somewhat angry; he was already very unhappy about missing the hidden treasure, and his tone was quite sharp at the moment.

And this tone of his made Lao Huang even more unhappy.

"Damn it! If it were back in the day, an ant like you daring to speak to me like this would have been slapped into dust!"

Although Lao Huang was angry.

In the current situation, he could only curse indignantly in his heart.

Things having reached this point, due to various contracts, Lao Huang could only choose to assist Zhang Kuang and help him ascend to become a peerless powerhouse. Only then would there be hope in the future for Zhang Kuang to reshape a physical body for him, allowing him to truly resurrect in the world.

"Since the restriction has gathered again, it seems I can only break through it myself..."

Qi Hai glanced at the crowd and then left without a word.

The ancient book he had obtained contained the method for breaking the Ancient Restriction here.

The area of the hidden treasure covered by this restriction was very large, and Qi Hai prepared to go to another edge of the basin to break it, where he would not be disturbed.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

Seeing the crack close, a group of students gathered around to look at Zhang Kuang.

"Lao Huang, what do you think?" Zhang Kuang threw the question directly to Lao Huang.

"As things stand, it seems we can only attempt to break it ourselves."

Lao Huang also knew a little about this kind of Ancient Restriction.

Then, under Lao Huang's guidance, Zhang Kuang sat cross-legged before that layer of transparent membrane and began to attempt to break the restriction.

"It's so big in here, where should we go?"

Inside the Treasure Land, Lin Xue'er and the others who had entered asked Luo Shuiyan.

Over these past few days, Luo Shuiyan had demonstrated her abilities, and now she had absolute authority within the small team.

"Don't worry, just follow me."

Immediately, Luo Shuiyan held Jiang Che and took the lead, walking toward the depths.

Inside here, there was a magnificently incomparable, ancient-style palace.

However, Luo Shuiyan did not even glance at it, sweeping directly past the side of the palace.

Along this path, they noticed that there were many skeletons by the roadside.

They had long since rotted beyond recognition; judging by the clothing on them, it was very likely they had been left behind since ancient times.

As the group passed by, these clothes instantly dissipated like flying ash.

After walking for about another few hours, Luo Shuiyan and the four arrived at the southern part of the basin.

This place was exactly where the Medicine Garden of this Ancient Sect was located.

Seeing this Medicine Garden, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

No matter the time, a Medicine Garden is absolutely the most important priority of a sect, because it is the foundation for the cultivation of sect disciples.

And on the outer perimeter of this Medicine Garden, there was also a layer of restriction protecting it.

However, this restriction, just like the outer ones, had its power greatly weakened with the passage of time.

This time, Luo Shuiyan did not spend too much time before quickly breaking through the restriction of the Medicine Garden.

Instantly, a refreshing medicinal fragrance permeated the air.

Just by breathing it in once, it made the group feel refreshed in body and mind.

As the group stepped into this Medicine Garden, they were even more shocked by the dazzling array of spiritual herbs all around.

"Wow, here, there are actually so many heavenly treasures! Arhat Fruit, Seven-Colored Lotus..."

Hu Xiaoxiao came from an extraordinary background and immediately recognized some exceptionally precious fruits and jade spirit grasses.

She opened her mouth wide, as if she were about to drool.

"With these precious heavenly treasures, the gap in resources between me and those from truly great noble families has been leveled quite a bit!"

Luo Shuiyan also had many emotions in her heart.

The most important thing about this Treasure Land is actually the sect's inheritance.

But those things, she had already obtained in her previous life.

Furthermore, she later obtained the even more powerful Beast God Art.

That is why Luo Shuiyan did not go to the place of inheritance first, but came to this Medicine Garden instead.
