In the middle of the cave, there is a narrow and winding path that stretches deep into the cave, its destination unknown.

As they went deeper, the air inside the cave gradually became heavy and humid. After walking for a while, Lu Lingxi's clothes were quickly soaked with sweat, and fine beads of sweat on her forehead glistened in the dim light. After walking for an unknown amount of time, after turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up before her.

Although she was still inside the cave, this place was a completely different world. The space was much more spacious than before, and the air was very fresh. She could feel that the spiritual energy here was even more concentrated than in other places.

The surrounding land is covered with all sorts of strange flowers and plants, blooming in competition and vying for beauty. Among them are many colorful and bizarre mushrooms, some of which emit a faint glow and are extremely beautiful.

Among these vibrant flowers and plants, one plant stands out prominently, with long, supple leaves, a straight and strong stem, and umbrella-shaped flowers.

What's most peculiar is that the leaves and petals of this plant display seven colors: red, gold, yellow, green, cyan, and blue-purple. Lu Lingxi carefully counted them, and each color was so vivid and so harmoniously coexisting on this one plant.

Lu Lingxi communicated with Ling Shu using her divine sense and asked curiously, "Ling Shu, do you recognize this plant? It's really beautiful!"

Ling Shu replied with admiration, "Master, you are so lucky! This is the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass, which usually grows in secluded places deep in the mountains and forests, or in some secret realm with rich spiritual energy. It is very rare to see it normally, so this grass is extremely precious!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao's brows furrowed in confusion. "This Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass, is it really that rare?"

Ling Shu explained, “Master, you may not know this, but the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass grows by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It takes ten thousand years for it to produce one leaf and one petal. Moreover, its color changes from red to gold, then from gold to yellow, and so on, until it turns from blue to purple. Each change means a doubling of its efficacy. Just imagine, seven leaves and seven petals, how many tens of thousands of years of accumulation are behind them, and how much essence of heaven and earth has they absorbed?”

"Therefore, the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass is not only a treasure for cultivation, helping cultivators to soar in cultivation and even break through bottlenecks to reach higher realms; it is also a holy product for healing, possessing incredible healing power for stubborn illnesses and serious injuries. No matter how severe the injury, it can heal instantly. It can also enhance a cultivator's perception and insight, making them more acute and alert in cultivation and combat."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi's eyes shone even brighter. She involuntarily took a step forward, about to reach out and pluck this peerless treasure, when suddenly, a clear sound came from the other end of the cave, interrupting her actions and making her heart tighten.

"We finally managed to lure that guy away, so you must hurry and act swiftly!" A figure hidden in the shadows lowered his voice, speaking rapidly with an undeniable urgency.

"Understood, you stay here and guard this place! I will return as soon as possible," the other person replied succinctly and firmly.

The conversation between the two reached Lu Lingxi Yao's ears clearly, suggesting that they had come for the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass.

Lu Lingxi's gaze involuntarily fell on the spiritual herb that emitted seven-colored light, a cunning and wicked smile flashing in her eyes.

"Hmph, with me here, they probably won't get their hands on this Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass~"

Lu Lingxi smiled inwardly. With light and swift movements, she gently flicked her fingers, and the spirit herb obediently detached from the soil and fell into her palm.

Initially, Lu Lingxi Yao wanted to directly put the Holy Spirit Grass into her Kunlun Ring. However, Ling Shu reminded her that the unique method of harvesting the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass required continuous nourishment with spiritual power. Otherwise, this rare treasure, which was hard to find in the world, would lose its vitality and turn into dust in the blink of an eye.

Faced with this demanding requirement, Lu Lingxi quickly devised a countermeasure. She knew that although directly consuming and refining it was the most direct method, it was not the best option for her at this moment due to the tight schedule and complicated process.

Therefore, she decided to take a compromise approach: immediately after picking the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass, she would use her own spiritual power to provide a continuous supply of nourishment, and at the same time, she would enter the Kunlun Ring as quickly as possible and, with the help of Ling Shu, transplant it into the medicinal field.

Just as Lu Lingxi was concentrating on the spiritual herb in her hand, preparing to implement this plan, a deafening roar suddenly came from the cave entrance, interrupting her actions. Immediately afterwards, a lithe man rushed into the cave at an incredible speed.

As soon as the man stepped into the cave, he was greeted by a scene that appeared before him—a young girl stood there with a leisurely and carefree demeanor, and in her hand she tightly held the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass that he had been dreaming of. The man's eyes narrowed sharply, and two cold glints shot out from his pupils, his voice filled with threat.

"Put down the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass, and I may spare your life; otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

Lu Lingxi gently held the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass. With just a touch, she could clearly feel warm and powerful energy flowing into her body like a gentle stream.

"Youming Chang, what's going on? Why haven't you gone in yet? What are you dawdling about?"

As the voice faded, a man with a somewhat resolute face stepped into the cave. His gaze fell upon the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass in Lu Lingxi Yao's hand, and he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

"She picked the spirit herb," ​​Youming Chang, a man who looked young but was actually quite old, replied casually.

Upon hearing this, the newly arrived man's expression changed drastically, his anger evident in his words, "Little brat, do you know that this Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Herb belongs to us!"

Faced with the sudden accusation, Lu Lingxi Yao remained unusually calm, a faint smile playing on her lips as she retorted, "Then, may I ask, how do you prove that this spiritual herb belongs to you? Now that it's in my hands, shouldn't it be mine according to common sense?"

Upon hearing this, Youming Chang and the man's expressions instantly turned solemn, as if dark clouds were pressing down. Almost simultaneously, their spiritual and martial power surged forth like rivers bursting their banks, shaking the entire space as if it were about to shatter.

Lu Lingxi frowned, secretly marveling at the situation. One was a Spirit Saint, and the other a Martial Saint, both of whom were more powerful than her. The severity of the situation left her no room for hesitation.

Wind spirit energy instantly surrounded her, and propelled by this power, she flashed and transformed into a streak of light, rushing back in the direction she had come from, quickly escaping.

Youming Chang's lips curled into a playful smile. His figure was like a ghost, and his speed was almost on par with Lu Lingxi Yao. The Martial Saint was also close behind, and the three of them formed a tense and subtle pursuit chain.
