After Long Yu processed the top-grade ancient ginseng, he jumped off the ancient tree, found a deep pool at random, and threw the long sword in his hand into it.
Afterwards, he ran towards where Ling Han was before.
"That long sword left a bloody mark on the neck of that Thousand Silk Sect disciple. Keeping it will only increase suspicion, so it's better to throw it away."
Long Yu didn't feel any regret at all for losing a piece of weapon.
Compared with being discovered by the royal family and losing his life, a war weapon is really too dispensable. Let alone a low-grade war weapon, even if it is a high-grade war weapon, Long Yu will discard it without hesitation.
Soon, Long Yu finally returned to where Ling Han was.
At this time, Ling Han had just buried the body of the tragically dead disciple of Zhentian Sect. After waiting for a while, he saw Long Yu running back.
"Junior brother, what's going on?"
Ling Han quickly stood up and asked.
"I failed to catch up, and the sword was lost instead."
Long Yu said in a deep voice that he would certainly not tell Ling Han about the matter of the top-grade ancient ginseng.
"Did you see who the other party was?"
Ling Han frowned slightly: "Could it be Yu Qianning? Right now in the Ancient Ginseng Forest, it seems that Yu Qianning is the only one who can be your opponent! But if it is her, there is no need for her to run away even if she faces us."
"It's someone from the Qiansi Sect. He's very fast, but I don't know who he is."
Long Yu shook his head and said regretfully.
Since he said so, Ling Han certainly could not ask any more questions, so he could only say: "Junior brother, now that you have obtained the third-grade ancient ginseng, it is better to leave the ancient ginseng forest first to ensure your own safety."
"Brother, it was you who helped me stop the pursuers before, which gave me time to absorb the top-grade ancient ginseng."
Long Yu shook his head and smiled: "Now, how can I leave first? I will at least help you find the middle-grade ancient ginseng. As for the top-grade ancient ginseng, it's hard to say. After all, there are not many in the ancient ginseng forest, and you may not be able to see them."
"Good brother, Senior Brother was right about you!"
Ling Han laughed.
Then, the two of them discussed the itinerary briefly, and then they each found a big tree, jumped to the top of the trunk and rested, preparing to set out again to look for ancient ginseng early the next morning.
…
Ten days passed in a flash.
The two searched all the way and soon found the middle-grade ancient ginseng, but until the last day, they still didn't see any trace of the top-grade ancient ginseng.
“Forget it, forget it. After absorbing the low-grade and medium-grade ancient ginseng, I am not far from breaking through to the eighth level of martial arts. As for the high-grade ancient ginseng, I don’t have any extravagant expectations.”
Ling Han said with a smile as they walked towards the entrance of the Ancient Ginseng Forest.
He felt that once he returned to Zhentian Sect, he could try to reach the eighth level of martial arts. Once successful, he would be able to choose a core disciple of the sect to challenge.
Once he successfully challenges and becomes a core disciple, he will be able to go to the back mountain of Zhentian Sect's Martial Arts Pavilion to comprehend super-grade martial arts!
For example, the martial arts skill that Feng Yun had used to pierce Long Yu’s right leg before, Tianbo Hengdu, was a super-grade martial art with terrifying power.
As both of them are at the eighth level of martial arts, if Feng Yun faces Tan Jian, he can use the move of Sky Wave Crossing to break his Yu Panshi defense in one go.
Super-grade martial arts are much more powerful than high-grade martial arts.
"Junior brother, you have gained a lot this time. Moreover, with your seventh-level martial arts cultivation, you can defeat an eighth-level martial arts expert. It seems that becoming a core disciple is just around the corner."
Ling Han said with a smile.
"maybe."
Long Yu nodded casually, but he was thinking in his heart that challenging the core disciples was a matter of course.
As soon as he absorbs the spiritual energy stored in the Nine Nether Dragon Seal and reaches the eighth level of martial arts, he will definitely directly call out and challenge Feng Yun!
When he first entered the Zhentian Sect, he defeated Feng Yang and Fang Kang successively, but was pierced through the right leg by Feng Yun, seriously injuring him. This revenge must be avenged.
Moreover, Feng Yun also attempted to seize Feng Changge's position as the head of the Feng family, which made it even more impossible for Long Yu to let him go.
"That's right, Senior Brother."
As they were about to reach the exit of the ancient ginseng forest, Long Yu suddenly seemed to remember something and whispered, "If someone from the royal family interrogates you later, you can say that I grew up with you in Ling Family Villa, how about that?"
Ling Han was from a villa near Zhentian Sect and was the young master of Ling Family Villa.
Hearing Long Yu's words, Ling Han was a little surprised: "What's wrong, Junior Brother? Could it be that you have some connection with the royal family? Recently, I heard that the Royal Guards seem to be searching for someone, but it should have nothing to do with you."
"Brother, to be honest, I don't know much about my life experience, but I always feel that it is related to the young man in golden armor. If he knew my life experience, I'm afraid he would make things difficult for me."
Long Yu explained.
"I see. Don't worry. I will tell you that you are my childhood playmate at Ling Family Villa."
Ling Han smiled brightly.
Long Yu then felt relieved, and then he and Ling Han came to the exit of the ancient ginseng forest.
At the gate leading to the ancient ginseng forest, there were four golden-armored martial artists, performing their duties with due diligence.
The young man in golden armor, who looked three points like Long Yu, stood behind the four golden armor martial artists, guarding them personally and would never let any of them go easily!
Seeing Ling Han and Long Yu approaching, the golden-armored young man and the four golden-armored martial artists' eyes lit up at the same time.
"You two, stop!"
The young man in golden armor shouted coldly, stopping the two men.
This guy's martial arts skills are unfathomable. Of course, Long Yu and Ling Han cannot disobey him, so they can only stop.
"Zhentian Sect, Ling Han, Long Yu."
The young man in golden armor glanced at the two of them and said, "Looking at your cultivation, it seems that your cultivation has improved a lot since you entered. Especially you, Long Yu."
As he spoke, his sharp eyes under the golden armor looked at Long Yu: "From the sixth level of martial arts to the seventh level of martial arts, how many ancient ginsengs did you collect during this period? Tell me the truth!"
"I have obtained low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade ancient ginsengs."
Long Yu remained calm, looked directly into the eyes of the young man in golden armor, and spoke calmly!
"snort."
The young man in golden armor showed disdain in his eyes. He walked up to Long Yu and squinted at him: "Your appearance and your name remind me of a piece of trash that shouldn't exist!"
"We have never met before, right?"
Long Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Now, I'm asking you."
The young man in golden armor snorted coldly: "You are not qualified to ask questions! When you shouldn't speak, just shut up!"
"Don't be angry, sir."
At this moment, Ling Han finally spoke up and said with a smile, "He was my playmate since childhood in Ling Family Villa. He is definitely not the person the adults are thinking of."
"I think so too. That piece of trash should not be able to step into the martial arts."
The young man in golden armor said proudly, then waved his hand: "Search!"
As soon as these two words came out, Long Yu immediately knew that the other party was indeed guarding here, wanting to search for the top-grade ancient ginseng.
It’s a pity that no matter how hard these guys searched, they couldn’t find the whereabouts of the top-grade ancient ginseng!
…
Soon, Ling Han and Long Yu were searched, and nothing suspicious was found on them, so they were released from the Ancient Ginseng Forest.
Ling Han felt relieved, but Long Yu was still thinking about what the young man in golden armor had just said.
"... a piece of trash that shouldn't exist..."
"... That piece of trash should not be able to enter the martial arts..."
These two sentences together almost made Long Yu certain that the young man in golden armor was talking about him! And he and the young man in golden armor were definitely related, and it was even possible that they were related by blood!
Of course, the young man in golden armor is only the princess's guard, not a member of the royal family. I don't know which family he is from. Could it be the Long family
While thinking, Long Yu followed Ling Han forward. Soon he saw Elder Yu wearing a black robe, standing not far from the city gate waiting for them.
"Elder Yu."
The two men walked over and soon arrived beside Elder Yu.
"You guys came out, did you get a good harvest?"
Elder Yu glanced at the two of them and smiled slightly. He obviously saw that both of them had made progress in their cultivation, especially Long Yu, who had actually directly improved to a higher level.
"Yes, it's not bad, Elder Yu. After I go back, I will go into seclusion and strive to reach the eighth level of martial arts. If I succeed, I will be ready to challenge the core disciples."
Ling Han said directly that he had nothing to hide in front of Elder Yu.
"Not bad!"
Elder Yu nodded without saying anything more. He continued to pay attention to the exit of the ancient ginseng forest, but his expression was not very good.
This time, a total of sixteen people came from the Zhentian Sect, but until now, only Long Yu and Ling Han came out of the ancient ginseng forest!
The casualties this year seem to be much more serious than in previous years.
It's not just the Zhentian Sect, the other two major sects are in a similar situation.
From the Hanbing Sect, only Feng Yao and two other sixth-level martial arts disciples had appeared so far, while from the Qiansi Sect, only one sixth-level martial arts disciple had appeared.
I haven’t seen any of the four strongest people this time!
At this moment, a panicked cry for help suddenly came from the entrance of the ancient ginseng forest.
"Help! Help, help me!"
A clear female voice filled with extreme fear, accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, reached the ears of the people waiting outside the ancient ginseng forest.
Everyone, including Long Yu, looked towards the ancient ginseng forest, and saw a girl in green clothes staggering out, and behind her, there were countless long needle shadows chasing her.
This girl in green is Feng Qianqian from Zhentian Sect!
"stop!"
The young man in golden armor who was guarding the exit of the ancient ginseng forest shouted almost immediately, but it was of no use.
I saw countless long needle shadows chasing after her at an extremely fast speed, and the next moment they pierced Feng Qianqian's whole body, and blood gushed out immediately.
There was still a desire to survive in her eyes, but the long needle shadows that pierced her body were like snakes and scorpions, taking away her vitality in an instant.
With a bang, Feng Qianqian's body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
When she fell, a graceful figure of a woman in goose yellow clothes slowly walked out from the bushes, with a long needle in her hand shining with a bloodthirsty light.
"It's Princess Qiansi, Yu Qianning!"
The pupils of Long Yu and others shrank. They didn't expect that Yu Qianning would dare to kill someone at the exit of the ancient ginseng forest. He really didn't take the royal family seriously!
There was no expression on Yu Qianning's snow-white face, as if she was not the one who had just killed someone. She walked towards the exit of the ancient ginseng forest step by step.
"It seems inappropriate for you to kill someone at the exit of the ancient ginseng forest?"
The young man in golden armor took a step forward, frowned slightly, and spoke to Yu Qianning.
As the guard of the royal princess, this young man in golden armor has always been arrogant. When facing other disciples from the three major sects, he seems as if he is the supreme ruler.
However, now facing Yu Qianning, even though Yu Qianning's cultivation was not as good as his, he seemed a little cautious.
All of this, of course, is due to Yu Qianning’s identity. Her mother is the current leader of Qiansi Sect!
