Seven Mysterious Spaces: My Rise to Power in the Cultivation World

Zhuang Yu successfully obtained the Hundred-Year Fire Spirit Mushroom, and he and Wang Yao found a secluded spot in the Spirit Herb Garden to rest for a while.

After taking the pill, Wang Yao's injuries were no longer a major concern, but her face was still somewhat pale due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy.

She sat cross-legged, circulating her cultivation technique, absorbing the rich spiritual energy around her, and slowly restoring her own spiritual power.

Zhuang Yu sat cross-legged beside Wang Yao, protecting her.

He appeared calm and collected on the surface, but was actually very vigilant inside.

He knew that Zhao Hai and his gang were vengeful and would never let things go easily; they were definitely plotting something in secret.

His eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he thought to himself, "Zhao Hai, since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Young friend Zhuang, Miss Wang, I have prepared some fragrant tea. Please come in and have a chat." Uncle Sun's voice came from afar, interrupting Zhuang Yu's thoughts.

Zhuang Yu stood up and said to Wang Yao, "Let's go, Uncle Sun probably has other plans."

Wang Yao nodded, stood up, and followed Zhuang Yu toward Uncle Sun.

Uncle Sun led the two to a pavilion, where exquisite tea sets were laid out on a stone table. The aroma of tea filled the air, refreshing and delightful.

"Young friend Zhuang, Miss Wang, please have some tea." Uncle Sun poured fragrant tea for the two of them and said with a smile, "I am getting old and can't keep you young people company. I won't chat with you anymore. I will take you to choose some spiritual herbs. You must choose carefully and not let my good intentions go to waste."

"Thank you, Uncle Sun." Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao stood up to express their gratitude.

Just as the three were about to set off for the depths of the Spirit Herb Garden, suddenly, the ground shook violently, and the entire Spirit Herb Garden began to tremble. The originally calm spiritual energy became turbulent, as if a powerful force was impacting the protective array of the Spirit Herb Garden.

"Oh no! Someone is attacking the protective formation of the Spirit Herb Garden!" Uncle Sun's expression changed drastically as he exclaimed.

Zhuang Yu frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He had long expected that Zhao Hai would not let this go, and sure enough, they came to cause trouble again. He just didn't expect them to dare to directly attack the protective formation of the Spirit Herb Garden.

He snorted coldly and said to Uncle Sun, "Uncle Sun, please take Wang Yao to a safe place first. I'll handle things here."

“This…” Uncle Sun hesitated, worried about Zhuang Yu’s safety.

"Uncle Sun, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Zhuang Yu gave Uncle Sun a reassuring look, then turned and walked towards the outer edge of the Spirit Herb Garden, because he sensed that the attack was coming from the outside, which was the direction Zhao Hai and the others had fled.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar came from the outer edge of the spirit herb garden, and a huge monster appeared in Zhuang Yu's field of vision.

This monster was covered in black scales and exuded a powerful aura; it was clearly a peak fourth-tier armored bear!

"It really is Zhao Hai! He actually sent demonic beasts to attack the Spirit Herb Garden! How despicable and shameless!" A flash of anger appeared in Zhuang Yu's eyes.

"Boy, accept your fate!"

A chilling voice came from behind the Ironclad Bear. Zhao Hai appeared in Zhuang Yu's field of vision, his eyes flashing with venomous light. He held a dagger that emitted a cold, menacing light and thrust it fiercely at Zhuang Yu.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" Zhuang Yu snorted coldly, his figure flashed, easily dodging Zhao Hai's attack, and then he threw a punch, hitting Zhao Hai squarely in the chest.

"puff!"

Zhao Hai spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and crashed heavily to the ground, his face as pale as paper.

"You think you can kill me? What a joke!" Zhuang Yu looked coldly at Zhao Hai, his eyes filled with disdain.

“You…” Zhao Hai struggled to stand up, but found that he could not move at all and could only watch helplessly as Zhuang Yu walked towards him step by step.

"Zhuang Yu, you can't kill me, I am..."

"Noisy!"

Zhuang Yu impatiently interrupted Zhao Hai, stomping his foot on Zhao Hai's chest and coldly said, "Zhao Hai, do you have any last words?"

"I……"

Zhao Hai's face turned pale, his eyes filled with fear. He never expected that he would be defeated by an unknown kid.

"If you don't have it, then die!"

A murderous glint flashed in Zhuang Yu's eyes as he prepared to end Zhao Hai's life. Suddenly, he sensed a dangerous aura rapidly approaching.

"not good!"

Zhuang Yu was startled and quickly withdrew his foot, retreating rapidly.

"boom!"

A sharp sword aura descended from the sky, striking Zhao Hai's location and carving a deep trench in the ground.

"Who?"

Zhuang Yu looked coldly at the newcomer. A young man dressed in blue robes and holding a long sword descended from the sky and slowly landed beside Zhao Hai.

"Brother, save me!"

When Zhao Hai saw the person who came, he felt as if he had seen a savior and immediately shouted for help.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you!"

The man in blue glanced coldly at Zhuang Yu, then reached out to help Zhao Hai up, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Who are you?"

Zhuang Yu looked at the man in blue, his eyes filled with vigilance.

You are not worthy to know my name!

The man in blue said coldly, "If you know what's good for you, get lost, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Humph, what a loud tone!"

Zhuang Yu snorted coldly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Although he knew he was no match for the man in blue, he was not one to give up easily. Moreover, he still had trump cards up his sleeve!

Just then, a violent fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the Spirit Herb Garden, followed by powerful auras soaring into the sky and rushing towards this side.

"Oh no, it's the guardian of the Spirit Herb Garden!"

The man in blue's expression changed slightly, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Zhao Hai also sensed those powerful auras, and his face immediately turned even paler, his eyes filled with fear.

"Retreat first!"

The man in blue acted decisively, grabbed Zhao Hai, and turned to flee.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Zhuang Yu snorted coldly and was about to chase after him when suddenly he felt a powerful force coming from the depths of the spirit herb garden, firmly binding him in place and making him unable to move.

"You just wait, kid. I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!"

The voice of the man in blue came from afar, filled with resentment and murderous intent.

"Damn it!"

Zhuang Yu cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do but watch helplessly as the man in blue led Zhao Hai away from the Spirit Herb Garden.

"Young friend Zhuang, are you alright?"

Uncle Sun and Wang Yao rushed over from afar and saw Zhuang Yu trapped in place. They quickly went up to ask him what was wrong.

"I'm fine, Uncle Sun, is that you?"

When Zhuang Yu saw Uncle Sun, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"it's me."

Uncle Sun nodded, then waved his hand, releasing the binding force on Zhuang Yu with a gentle force.

"Thank you, Uncle Sun."

Zhuang Yu stretched his limbs and said gratefully.

"No need to thank me, it's what I should do."

Uncle Sun waved his hand, then looked at Zhuang Yu with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "Young friend Zhuang, you are quite good. You actually managed to escape from those two petty thieves and even killed their accomplices. You are truly a promising young man!"

"Uncle Sun, you flatter me. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

Zhuang Yu said modestly.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go check on the situation at the Spirit Herb Garden first."

As Sun Bo spoke, he led Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao deeper into the Spirit Herb Garden.

"Yes, Uncle Sun."

Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao nodded and followed Uncle Sun deeper into the Spirit Herb Garden.

Along the way, Uncle Sun introduced Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao to the situation of the Spirit Herb Garden and the details of the attack on the Spirit Herb Garden.

It turns out that the reason the Spirit Herb Garden was attacked was because a ten-thousand-year-old spirit herb in the garden was about to mature. This ten-thousand-year-old spirit herb was called the "Nine-Turn Resurrection Herb," ​​which was the main ingredient for refining the "Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill." The "Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill" was a heaven-defying pill that could bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Therefore, as soon as the news of this ten-thousand-year-old spirit herb spread, it attracted the covetousness of countless cultivators, including Zhao Hai and others.

Zhao Hai and his group originally planned to sneak into the Spirit Herb Garden to steal the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass when the guards were lax. However, they did not expect that the protective formation of the Spirit Herb Garden was so powerful that they could not break through it at all. Helpless, they had to change their plans and wanted to use demonic beasts to attack the Spirit Herb Garden and take advantage of the chaos. However, they did not expect that their plan would ultimately fail.

"Young friend Zhuang, we owe you a great debt this time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Sun Bo looked at Zhuang Yu, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Uncle Sun, you flatter me. This is what I should do."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go check on the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass first."

As Sun Bo spoke, he led Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao deeper into the Spirit Herb Garden.

Before long, they arrived at a valley.

"This is it."

Sun Bo pointed to a stone platform deep in the valley and said to Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao, "The Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass is on that stone platform."

Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao looked in the direction Sun Bo was pointing, and saw a crystal-clear spiritual herb growing on the stone platform, radiating a seven-colored glow. The shape of this spiritual herb was like a blooming lotus flower, with crystal-clear dewdrops on the petals. It looked beautiful and made people want to reach out and touch it.

"Is this the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass? It truly is a rare and precious treasure!"

Wang Yao looked at the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass on the stone platform, her eyes filled with amazement.

"Yes, this Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Grass is a rare spiritual treasure, only seen once every ten thousand years. With it, we can refine the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill. Then, even if someone dies, they can be brought back to life!"

Sun Bo looked at the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass on the stone platform, his eyes filled with fervor.

"Uncle Sun, this Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass is so precious, shouldn't we just leave it alone?"

Zhuang Yu looked at the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass on the stone platform, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

"Young friend Zhuang, you may not know this, but although the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass is precious, it has a unique characteristic: it only matures once every thousand years, and even after it matures, it only lasts for three short hours. If no one picks it within these three hours, it will transform into a seven-colored ray of light and dissipate into the world."

Sun Bo looked at Zhuang Yu and explained, "Therefore, we must harvest the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Grass within three hours of it maturing, otherwise we will have wasted this opportunity."

"I see."

Zhuang Yu nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Uncle Sun, what do we do now?"

Wang Yao looked at Uncle Sun and asked.

"What we need to do now is wait, wait for the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass to mature."

Sun Bo looked at the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass on the stone platform, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"it is good."

Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao nodded, then sat cross-legged beside the stone platform, quietly waiting for the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass to mature.
