The Golden Core cultivators of the White Bone Sect who pursued the intruders had not returned, and many petty thieves began to appear in the sect one after another.
These petty thieves were all only at the Foundation Establishment stage. They did not attack head-on but caused trouble everywhere, often robbing and then fleeing.
Coincidentally, most of the White Bone Sect's cultivators had been transferred to the Black Wind Cliff front line, leaving the rear empty, not much better than the situation of the Dan Xin Sect back then.
Such evil cultivators hiding in the dark and not daring to attack head-on were more troublesome to deal with.
For a time, the entire White Bone Sect was in chaos, but it wasn't a particularly great crisis. It wasn't enough to make other powerful cultivators of the sect come out to catch a few mice.
Taking advantage of the White Bone Sect's chaos, Xiao Fei and Zhu Yu returned to the White Bone Sect again, carefully sneaking in.
When he had previously pointed out the locations of various treasures to the evil cultivators, he had left a passage for himself among them.
Now that the White Bone Sect cultivators had been lured away by the evil cultivators, the route they walked was quiet and peaceful. Only occasionally, the sounds of fighting could be heard from afar.
The two encountered no obstacles and reached the entrance of a small medicinal garden.
"The passage to the alien demon realm is inside here?" Zhu Yu looked at the small medicinal garden ahead, and it didn't look like it at all.
"Heh heh... doing some private business on the side."
Xiao Fei chuckled. This small medicinal garden belonged to a powerful elder of the White Bone Sect, who was currently at Black Wind Cliff.
There was a spiritual herb in the medicinal garden, which was essential for Xiao Fei's Golden Core formation.
He had deliberately concealed the information about this medicinal garden and had not let the more than 30 evil cultivators know about it; he had kept it for himself.
The two stood at the entrance of the medicinal garden. Before they could walk in, a white bone claw suddenly stretched out from under their feet and grabbed Xiao Fei's ankle.
Xiao Fei directly raised his foot and crushed the white bone claw.
Immediately afterward, white bone claws kept emerging from the ground around where they stood, reaching out to grab them.
However, Xiao Fei's physical body was strong, and Zhu Yu was a Golden Core expert. These white bone claws seemed too fragile in front of them.
Just then, white bone skeletons began to crawl out from under the ground around the medicinal garden, surrounding them.
"This is a White Bone Formation, with at least tens of thousands of buried bones. They are inexhaustible."
Xiao Fei's divine sense observed the endless stream of skeletons surging around. Finally, he spotted a relatively small skeleton among the horde of skeletons, with runes constantly flashing on its body.
"Found the core of the formation. As long as that one skeleton is killed, it's done."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu transformed a jade flute into a rainbow, piercing through the obstruction of dozens of skeletons, and with a "bang," he blasted the small skeleton to pieces.
Instantly, the spiritual energy in the area fluctuated violently, surging wildly for a moment before finally calming down.
The white bone skeletons that had been brandishing their claws and teeth were now all standing foolishly in place.
Xiao Fei let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, the owner of the formation was not present. These tens of thousands of white bones lacked a commander, otherwise, the two of them would have been worn to death by this formation.
"Let's go! Let's take a look inside!"
The two quickly entered the small medicinal garden. The garden was less than an acre in size, but the spiritual energy within was extremely dense.
Xiao Fei's divine sense swept across the entire medicinal garden. The small garden was planted with dozens of rare spiritual herbs.
However, his attention was currently focused on a spiritual herb in the very center. This spiritual herb was entirely like glazed jade, emitting a faint red light.
This item was called the Glazed Crimson Light Ganoderma, and it was an essential material for Xiao Fei to refine the Hunyuan Golden Core Pill.
To cultivate the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages of the "Hunyuan Five Elements Technique," specialized pills were required.
The pill that assisted in advancing from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core was called the Hunyuan Golden Core Pill. Xiao Fei had never been able to find this spiritual herb, which prevented him from refining the Hunyuan Golden Core Pill and attempting to break through to the Golden Core realm.
Xiao Fei took the lead and walked towards the Glazed Crimson Light Ganoderma, dug it out, and put it into his spatial storage. Only then did his gaze turn to the other spiritual herbs.
After Zhu Yu entered the medicinal garden, he was not polite either. He picked and took away anything that caught his eye.
However, Zhu Yu was not skilled in alchemy, and his understanding of spiritual herbs was far inferior to Xiao Fei's.
He couldn't recognize many spiritual plants and only prioritized picking those with relatively dense spiritual energy.
Xiao Fei, on the other hand, was much more discerning, prioritizing the collection of rare spiritual herbs that he lacked.
He walked up to a small tree and dug it out by the roots, putting it into his spatial storage.
This small tree was not a spiritual herb but a rare spiritual wood called Heavenly Mulberry Wood.
The leaves of the Heavenly Mulberry Wood could be used to feed spiritual beasts, and the mulberry fruit was rich in spiritual energy, edible, and tasted sweet and sour.
The bark could be used to make talisman paper, and trees that had grown for many years could also be used to refine magical treasures.
This spiritual wood was a treasure all over, with no other drawbacks except for its slow growth.
Currently, this Heavenly Mulberry Wood was just a sapling, only two to three feet tall. Even if planted in his spatial storage, it would take a long time to mature.
After digging up the Heavenly Mulberry Wood, Xiao Fei immediately threw himself into the action of grabbing other medicinal materials.
In the short time he had been delayed, Zhu Yu had already dug up two rare spiritual herbs. Every time he saw Zhu Yu dig up a spiritual herb, he felt as if he had lost one, and couldn't help but speed up.
At the same time, Zhu Yu had a similar thought. Every time he saw Xiao Fei dig up a spiritual herb, he felt a pang of heartache.
However, the two had a tacit understanding and did not fight because of it. In just a moment, they had dug up all the valuable spiritual herbs in the medicinal garden before walking out of the garden one after another.
Xiao Fei walked out of the medicinal garden and looked at the three to four thousand white bone skeletons standing foolishly in place. These were all made from killing living people and then refining them into white bone skeletons.
This was how the humans of Eagle Mountain Country were tormented to death.
If these skeletons were left here, they would become the claws and teeth of the evil cultivators, acting as accomplices. It was better to collect them all.
Immediately, he quickly collected these skeletons into his spatial storage.
Seeing Xiao Fei's actions, Zhu Yu did not argue with him this time. These skeletons were all refined from mortals and required a certain number to generate power.
Tens of thousands of skeletons were not a small number. His storage bag was too small to hold them. He didn't know where this damned Xiao Fei got such a large storage bag.
In just a moment, the three to four thousand white bone skeletons that had originally covered the ground in a vast expanse were all collected by Xiao Fei.
At this time, White Bone Sect cultivators were already rushing towards this area from a distance.
The two no longer hesitated and flew away towards a place where there were no people.
As Xiao Fei left, he did not forget to take out a few wax balls, crush them, and throw them on the ground.
These poisons had not been used for a long time and had been stored in his spatial storage, which was a waste. Today, they would benefit the evil cultivators of the White Bone Sect, giving them a taste.
By the time a patrol of White Bone Sect cultivators arrived, the two had already left. The scene was empty, with only a few scattered spiritual herbs remaining in the medicinal garden.
"Damn it! The thieves actually stole Elder Seven's medicinal garden clean!"
The patrol captain looked at the remaining spiritual herbs in the medicinal garden and cried out in grief.
The remaining team members, understanding his meaning, also cursed the villains while entering the medicinal garden, pulling out the remaining spiritual herbs and stuffing them into their chests.
