Chapter 2096 Earth Garden
The only thing that reassured Qingyang was that the two gate gods-like Refining Void Sand Giants did not attack him. It was unknown whether the Sand Giants had lost their power or needed certain conditions to trigger. However, Qingyang did not dare to try easily, and stood still without daring to make any movement, because once the two Sand Giants were alarmed, Qingyang would not be able to deal with them at all, and the mission would fail. It would be better to wait and see.
With two such powerful Sand Giants guarding, the place behind the door should be very important. It is probably the ancient medicine garden, but what does this earth garden mean? Could it be that this medicine garden is also divided into attributes like the five elements? If so, it means that there are many ancient medicine gardens, and this is just one of them.
So how can we open the door without alarming the two Sand Giants, just like entering the earth garden? Qingyang had no idea for a while. He carefully observed the two giant doors, which were made of sand and looked very rough. It seemed that they could be broken with a casual blow, but Qingyang did not dare to try. If he alarmed the two Refining Void-level Sand Giants next to him, it would be a loss.
Qingyang observed carefully and found that there seemed to be a groove in an inconspicuous position on the handle of one of the doors. What was this groove for? Could it be used to insert a key? Why does it look so familiar? Qingyang frowned and suddenly remembered that the shapes of the tokens he got in the Five Elements Maze seemed very similar to this groove. Could it be that the token was the key on the door?
Thinking of this, Qingyang's thoughts suddenly opened up. When they got the token in the array, they had discussed that the token should be a formation plate, a key, a token, etc., but they didn't know where to use it. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it is used here. There is a soil gate in the Five Elements Maze, and there is a soil garden here. There is a sand giant in the soil gate in the array, and there is also a sand giant outside the soil garden gate here. He finally got the token in the soil gate, and there happened to be a similar groove on the door here, so where else can the token be used if not here?
But on second thought, although the possibility of the token being used here is very high, what if it is wrong? There is only one chance. If you make a mistake, the Lianxu Sand Giant will attack you. Then you will have nothing. Should you try or not? Qingyang hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to give it a try.
He was sure that he could not beat the two Lianxu Sand Giants. There was no other way to enter the earth garden behind. Since there was only this way to go, what else could he do if he didn't try?
Qingyang finally made up his mind and took out the token he got from the earth gate from the Qiankun Gourd. Although the three tokens in his hand looked similar, there were still differences in the details. Qingyang made a mark on purpose. He was also worried that putting the wrong token would have a counterproductive effect.
Qingyang did not dare to step forward, and even dared not move his feet at all. In the case of not knowing the requirements, it is better to be as careful as possible. He directly used his divine thoughts to control the token and carefully sent it to the handle of the sand giant door, and then adjusted the direction and pushed it into the groove.
Divine thoughts are everything for cultivators. They can be used as eyes, ears, and hands. There is no problem in controlling magic weapons, let alone this small token? In just a dozen breaths, the token was embedded in the groove on the door, fitting perfectly, as if it was tailor-made.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed, the wall trembled slightly, countless sand and soil floated up, and the two huge sand doors slowly opened a gap of several feet wide to both sides, and the two giants standing next to them just glanced at Qingyang, without any other unnecessary movements.
The door has been opened, can I go in? To be cautious, Qingyang used his divine sense to explore the door. It seemed that there was nothing to see in the heavy fog inside, and he didn't know if there was any danger. Should he go in? Qingyang hesitated and thought for a long time. He decided to take a risk. In order to enter this ancient medicine garden, he spent such a huge price, even the fire spirit crystal of the ninth level of the spirit transformation that he was going to keep for life was used up. If he didn't even dare to go in, wouldn't it be a waste?
Qingyang gritted his teeth, took a tentative step, and was ready at the same time. Once the Lianxu Sand Giants on both sides of the door made a move, he would hide in the Drunken Immortal Gourd as soon as possible. One step, no problem, two steps, no movement, three steps, four steps, Qingyang walked to the door in a blink of an eye, and the two sand giants were still motionless. It seemed that he had made the right bet. The token was the key to the door of the earth garden, and the two Lianxu Sand Giants were the gatekeepers. If the key was used to open the door normally, the Lianxu Giant would not move, but if the door was forced to break, the consequences would be uncertain.
Qingyang stepped forward, passed through the fog at the door, and entered the earth garden. The whole garden is quite large, covering an area of tens of thousands of acres. I don’t know if it is due to the special location or the arrangement of the spirit gathering formation. The spiritual energy in the garden is at least twice as strong as outside. No wonder this place is protected as a medicine garden.
The whole garden seemed to have been abandoned. Weeds and wild trees were everywhere. There was no trace of a medicine garden. But this was normal. After all, no one had taken care of this garden for countless years. Qingyang just hoped to find some natural treasures in it to make it worth the money.
For such a large garden, if an ordinary person wanted to search it all, it would definitely take several days. But for Qingyang now, one or two hours at most was enough. He completely released his divine consciousness and was able to cover hundreds of feet in radius in an instant. Everything within the range was captured by his divine consciousness. After carefully combing through it, he could quickly distinguish which ones were weeds and wild trees and which ones were useful to Qingyang.
After more than an hour, Qingyang searched the entire garden and found quite a few good things. The most valuable ones were three ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and there were dozens of thousands-year-old spiritual herbs. The ones under a thousand years old were not valuable, and Qingyang was too lazy to count them. Of course, there were many more that had dried and rotted.
Many spiritual herbs have very high requirements for the growth environment. Those that grow in the wild are fine, but the spiritual herbs planted by monks need to be taken care of and cared for frequently. When they reach the age limit, they must be picked, just like ordinary people planting crops in the secular world. Water when it is necessary, fertilize when it is necessary, and remove insects when it is necessary. Sometimes, if the care is not in place, it will become sick, dry, and rot.
No one has been here for many years. Due to lack of care, most of the spiritual herbs that were originally planted have gone bad. Only a small number of them with strong adaptability have grown until they bloom and bear fruit, and continue to reproduce after the seeds fall to the ground. They have been passed down from generation to generation until now. Only a few are left for Qingyang, and the others must have disappeared in the long river of history.
