Chapter 475 Are they still trapped in an illusion? (4 words in this chapter)
It seems that the decision of whether or not to swallow the pill is theirs, but they only have two paths before them.
Either give up the Martial King realm inheritance that's within reach and leave without getting any benefits.
Alternatively, one could take a gamble and use the pills provided by Master Qingyi to cross this terrifying sea of flowers.
The three exchanged glances, each seeing doubt and distrust in the other's eyes, as well as an ambition that could not be concealed beneath these emotions.
The three of them remained silent, but all looked at each other with scrutinizing eyes, waiting to see who would be the first to take the pill, so they could observe the other's reaction.
In the end, it was Yin Guanjun who, with his exceptional skills and daring, had surpassed everything else in his pursuit of martial arts. Moreover, he possessed some means of self-preservation and did not believe that such a small pill could take his life.
In the end, he swallowed it first.
After swallowing it, Yin Guanjun felt a cool sensation spreading in his mouth, and as it went down his stomach, the cool feeling spread throughout his body.
He had been affected by the illusion before, and after swallowing this pill, he felt much more refreshed.
By feeling the changes in your body, you'll know that this elixir is indeed effective.
He didn't make any unnecessary movements.
"President Yin, how are you feeling now?"
"Is this medicine effective, or does it have any side effects?"
Faced with their questions, Yin Guanjun only glanced at them indifferently, then walked towards Master Qingyi and the others without saying anything, clearly not intending to answer their questions.
If you don't even have the courage to take a single pill if you want to inherit the legacy, you might as well go back to sleep.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the two couldn't help but curse inwardly as they looked at the pills in their hands.
Considering that Yin Guanjun didn't seem to feel any discomfort, he should be fine.
At least someone had already tried it, which alleviated many of the concerns of the remaining two people.
After taking the Qingfeng Pill, they all felt a refreshing sensation in their bodies and walked confidently towards the sea of flowers. They were determined to inherit this legacy.
They were able to travel through time thanks to the elixirs provided by Master Qingyi, so what about the others? Did they all die in this sea of flowers?
Thinking of this, their hearts burned with excitement, feeling as if the inheritance of the Martial King realm was beckoning to them.
The two harvesting robots on Tian Zhenzhen's side were busy at work. They were very fast, and wherever they passed, the Purple Dream Grass was directly collected into Tian Zhenzhen's spatial ring.
Only a few minutes had passed, and a path had already been cleared in the sea of flowers in front of them, allowing the two of them to walk side by side.
"Let's go now."
Tian Zhenzhen greeted everyone, showing no intention of staying and waiting.
"Oh, are we just going to walk there like this? Isn't that a bit too risky? What if we get caught in an illusion halfway there? Or maybe we can go later!"
Zishu said with some concern, "When the two robots were cleaning up, they revealed quite a few dead people. Their gruesome deaths are still quite memorable."
"Don't worry, stay close to me and don't leave on your own. I'll keep you safe."
Faced with Zishu's questioning, Tian Zhenzhen still kindly offered a reminder.
Then Tian Zhenzhen's mental barrier was activated.
As if sensing something, it was as if something had separated them from each other, which instantly made everyone feel much more at ease.
The group followed Tian Zhenzhen and walked towards the sea of flowers.
At first, everyone was a little wary. After all, both Tian Zhenzhen's previous introduction and the dead people they had just seen proved that this sea of flowers had the ability to devour people, and they were afraid that they would be affected.
Yan Guhong raised his hand and touched the flower beside him with some curiosity. He wasn't interested in the flower itself, but rather he sensed that something was enveloping them.
Sure enough, although his hand seemed to be caressing the Purple Dream Grass beside him, the feel was not the softness of the petals. Instead, it felt like he was touching something invisible, separating him from the flower's direct contact.
The sensation under his feet didn't feel like he was stepping on mud; the strange feeling made him want to investigate.
Thinking back to how Tian Zhenzhen dealt with those tree branches, could this be her ability?
He didn't think it resembled the Land of Heaven and Earth. After all, he was a master who had entered the ranks of grandmasters. Although he still had some difficulty manipulating and borrowing power from the Land of Heaven and Earth, he could still sense it.
Miss Tian's abilities probably belong to another kind of power.
Thinking of this, he looked at Tian Zhenzhen's back with a sense of inquiry.
He really wanted to ask, but no one spoke up. Clearly, everyone had secrets, and perhaps not probing was the best way to get along.
Yan Guhong didn't believe that if he could sense it, others wouldn't be able to.
Everyone tacitly remained silent; why should he risk upsetting anyone? With that thought, he looked away.
Tian Zhenzhen has keen senses, and now that she is surrounded by her spiritual power, she can completely control their every word and action.
She could see Yan Guhong's probing, the surprise and doubt in his eyes, and the scrutiny as he looked at her back.
Did they discover something? They were smart; they didn't ask.
Tian Zhenzhen had no intention of revealing her abilities; the more mysterious an ability is, the more people will be wary of it.
After traveling halfway through the journey, everyone realized that there was nothing unusual or abnormal, and thus understood the true value of Tian Zhenzhen's words.
If you say you won't let anything happen to them, then nothing will happen.
Suddenly, it felt as if I hadn't sensed any real danger while following Miss Tian.
The sense of crisis lessened considerably, and I had the leisure to admire the sea of flowers.
Putting aside its hallucinogenic effects, walking through it truly gives one a dreamlike feeling.
If a guy brings his sweetheart here to propose, I doubt anyone would refuse such a beautiful scene.
Of course, the more beautiful something is, the more deadly it can be.
Although everyone's eyes were intentionally looking around along the way, their pace did not slow down.
And so, the group walked for more than an hour before finally leaving the sea of flowers.
The two harvesting robots were still working non-stop, and Tian Zhenzhen did not retract them.
With so many resources here, she definitely has to harvest enough to make her money.
As the group walked out of the sea of flowers, the distant scenery came into view.
Not far away is a valley. After walking out of the sea of flowers, there is a depression more than ten meters high.
You wouldn't notice it at all unless you got close.
Behind the depression lies a large mountain, shrouded in thick fog, obscuring its true form. Only through gaps can one glimpse the green of the trees, creating an atmosphere of mystery and solemnity.
It gives people a sense of sacredness, making them dare not act recklessly.
"Look, there seem to be houses in the valley ahead. And look, are those people?"
The rat's gaze shifted from the mountain peak to the valley below, as if it had seen something incredible. It pointed in a direction, urging everyone to look quickly.
His words quickly drew everyone's attention to the direction he was pointing.
Then everyone saw a row of houses, and various figures standing not far from the houses. From a distance, it looked like a pastoral town.
"Could it be the same people who came in before, Daoist Chu Ning and the others? They couldn't possibly be people who live in the secret realm, could they? Let's go take a look."
Tan Zhentian also saw the houses and people in the distance and thought they were the people who had fallen in earlier.
"No, that's not a living person."
Tian Zhenzhen refuted their claims; the layout here was already under her mental control.
Of course, she already knew what was there beforehand.
"Not living people?" Tan Zhentian asked in surprise, then looked at the figures in the distance as if trying to see a hole through them.
Although the martial artist had sharp ears and eyes, the distance was too great, and he could only vaguely make out the figures of humans.
He noticed that these figures were under his gaze, but they remained motionless for quite some time.
Could it really be a dead person?
Driven by curiosity, the group continued walking forward.
Although they didn't know where the road led, their choice to follow Tian Zhenzhen showed their trust in her and they wouldn't question her.
As we walked along, we found that the layout here was more like a series of farmlands. Although it was overgrown with weeds because no one was taking care of it, we could still make out some of the layout if we looked closely.
Could it be that humans lived here a long time ago?
Upon arriving here, everyone remained vigilant; on the contrary, they were even more worried about the strange environment.
Moreover, along the way, we discovered that although the purple dream grass was not planted as densely as in the sea of flowers, it could still be seen frequently in the fields on both sides.
These purple flowers stand out even more against the green grass.
It exudes a captivating color and fragrance, yet it is the culprit that can drag people into hell at any moment.
Tian Zhenzhen's mental barrier remained open, and no one felt any discomfort. They were completely unaffected by the fragrance and pollen in the air.
After walking a while longer and getting closer, we were able to see the true nature of these figures.
These aren't people, but rather scarecrows made of incredibly realistic scarecrows, with even their faces being remarkably lifelike. Combined with the clothes they wear, you can clearly identify who these people are.
There were farmers tilling the land, children playing, and groups of women holding needles and thread.
These scenes are like moments from a past life, recorded by these scarecrows.
After confirming that there was no danger around, they all gathered around the scarecrow and examined it carefully.
Putting aside their vivid expressions, the scarecrows' clothes are clearly quite old, resembling robes worn by people in ancient times. People today wouldn't wear such elaborate clothes, and even the fabric is mainly cotton and linen.
"It's a scarecrow! Who put it here?"
After getting a clear look at these people, I noticed the differences.
"Judging from the material and workmanship of this garment, it's probably quite old."
The pig carefully examined the clothes on the scarecrows and quickly noticed the differences.
"How many years old could they be?" Tan Zhentian asked curiously. He could tell that these clothes were probably worn by people in ancient times, but he really couldn't tell how many years they were exactly.
"Look at the stitching on these clothes, it seems to be a technique that was lost more than 600 years ago. These clothes are at least 600 years old."
After careful examination, the Pig (亥猪) gave the closest possible number.
"What? These clothes are over 600 years old! If I take them back, wouldn't they be considered antiques? They should fetch a good price, right? And they look very well preserved, so they'll definitely be worth more."
Tan Zhentian's eyes gleamed; he had already figured out how much money he could get for these clothes.
Despite being one of the twelve zodiac signs of the Dragon Group and seemingly holding a high position, the financial resources required for cultivation are far greater.
Didn't you see how he used to rip off Tang Yifeng when he bought medicine for him? If he didn't have a conscience, he wouldn't have asked for a thousand yuan.
It's all because he's too principled; otherwise, he wouldn't have done these things, right?
Then his gaze fell on the row of buildings in the distance.
These things are hundreds of years old; if he were to put them up for auction, he could probably get quite a bit.
Those born in the Year of the Pig are already immune to Tan Zhentian's attempts to find the key point.
Are you out of your mind? Everyone else is here for the Martial King realm inheritance, and you're only interested in this paltry sum.
The pig sighed inwardly, but didn't express much emotion.
Tian Zhenzhen, however, didn't show it on her face, but inside she was practically laughing like a goose.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha." It would definitely be fun to be friends with someone like Tan Zhentian.
"Then hurry up and take them off. There are lots of Purple Dream Grass scattered around here. If you take off these clothes, you might have a dream of getting rich and your wishes will come true."
Tian Zhenzhen said with a smile. Although her words were meant to tease Tan Zhentian, her good mood was evident.
This made Tan Zhentian, who was originally eager to try, awkwardly back down.
"I think we should just forget about it. These clothes don't look like they're made of any good material, so they probably won't fetch much of a price."
Let's go take a look at the houses up ahead.
Tan Zhentian changed the subject, clearly not wanting to dwell on the clothes any longer.
Tian Zhenzhen didn't speak again, and the others also gave him face as a Grandmaster.
Everyone was somewhat speechless at the unruly personality of this Grandmaster-level expert, but he was clearly different from the other Grandmaster-level experts they had met.
The inanimate objects that Wada Mama saw were different.
After safely passing through a sea of flowers, Master Qingyi and his group all looked much more relaxed.
They thought the biggest crisis in this secret realm was over, but little did they know that a big surprise awaited them.
"Master Qingyi, am I seeing things? I see figures in the valley ahead. Are they farming?"
Smoke was still coming out of the chimney; did someone live in there all along?
Tang Yifeng spoke with some surprise, rubbing his eyes and repeatedly confirming.
But every time I see the smoke and fire in front of me, is there someone living underground all along?
Who are these people? Are they like them?
At that moment, countless strange thoughts arose in his mind.
A pastoral landscape unfolds before your eyes.
You can also see farmers working in the fields and children playing in the distance.
His voice trembled without him even realizing it.
Has he fallen into some kind of illusion?
Without Tang Yifeng saying a word, the idyllic rural scenery in the distance came into view for the group.
"I think I saw it too. Could it be that we were ultimately trapped in an illusion?"
Master Kongqi spoke in surprise, finding it hard to believe. The deaths of those people were still vivid in his mind, and he didn't want to fall into an illusion.
"No, this is not an illusion."
