Chapter 267: Herb Illusion Array

However, there were also people who remained calm, shaking their heads and saying, "Let’s not get too excited too soon. What we have entered is probably just the outer area of the Land of Inheritance, and we won’t be able to access the real inheritance at all."

This statement immediately made everyone calm down one after another.

Indeed, if they were to enter the real Land of Inheritance, the sheer number of participants in the grand competition would likely cause the Land of Inheritance to completely collapse.

They still couldn’t understand why the grand competition was moved to be held inside the Land of Inheritance.

Elder Han and the five divine pharmacists watched their disciples below calmly.

Only a few of them knew that the reason for doing this was naturally because of the shockwaves that came from the Land of Inheritance three days ago.

By letting these disciples enter the outskirts, the goal was to see if they could trigger shockwaves again, in order to figure out the cause behind them.

Jiang Yun naturally had no idea what the Land of Inheritance was, but having crossed the Five Peaks and entered the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, he could roughly guess that it was a similar place, so he didn’t ask Xiao Zheng about it.

"Alright, no more words, junior disciples, leave the platform now!"

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Elder Han spoke again, and all the disciples who had come to observe immediately left the platform as fast as they could, like a tide.

Even though more than half of the people left in an instant, there were still nearly seven to eight thousand disciples on the platform at this moment.

Obviously, because this grand competition was related to the qualification to enter the Land of Inheritance, the number of participants far exceeded those of previous years.

Facing this situation, Elder Han was not surprised. With a flick of his sleeve, numerous formation stones immediately flew out like raindrops, landing accurately in everyone’s hands, including Jiang Yun’s.

Holding the formation stone, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but feel amazed. The Grand Medicine Sect was indeed very wealthy.

The material used to make formation stones can only be spiritual stones. Having seven to eight thousand formation stones is equivalent to having seven to eight thousand spiritual stones, and once crushed, they are as good as gone.

Just one teleportation consumes so many spiritual stones, making Jiang Yun, who has always lacked spiritual stones, feel a sense of loss.

"Now, crush the formation stones!"

Following Elder Han’s command, all the disciples on the platform almost simultaneously crushed the formation stones in their hands.

Immediately, beams of light shot up into the sky, and one by one, figures disappeared from the platform.

Xiao Zheng turned to look at Jiang Yun and Xie Xiaoyong. At that moment, he had fully recovered and smiled, saying, "See you after the competition! Brother Jiang, don’t forget, don’t show weakness, keep going!"

"Senior brother, Brother Jiang, keep going!"

Xie Xiaoyong also sweetly smiled at Jiang Yun, and both of them simultaneously crushed the formation stones.

Seeing the sharp decrease in the number of people around him, Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

As an outer sect disciple participating in a major competition within other sects, especially competing against a group of medicine dao cultivators as a non-medicine dao cultivator, this situation seemed unprecedented in the entire Mountain-Sea World!

"Although you are the top medicine dao sect, in my heart, my grandfather is the true medicine dao master."

"Today, I’ll take this opportunity to see whether my grandfather’s medicine dao that he passed on to me is stronger, or your medicine dao is stronger!"

With this thought in mind, Jiang Yun felt a surge of courage in his heart and, reaching out, he gently crushed the formation stone in his hand.

In the sky above, whether it was Elder Han, Mei Bugu and Yang Shizhong, or even the unseen Master Hui and Grand Medicine Sect sect master, all deeply glanced at the spot where Jiang Yun disappeared.

To be honest, they were all quite curious about this young man from the Seeking-Tao Sect, highly praised by Xiao Zheng, and wondered how skilled he was in the way of medicine.

Especially Yang Shizhong, who had a slight smirk on his lips.

He had already made connections, bribing some judging pharmacists. Although he didn’t think highly of Jiang Yun, he also didn’t want him to succeed in getting the medicine.

At this moment, Jiang Yun’s vision blurred, and he found himself in a valley, surrounded by various plants.

As he looked closer, he realized that all these plants were actually various medicinal herbs, including not only plant-based herbs but also parts from animals and numerous Beast Cores.

However, what caught Jiang Yun’s attention the most was that these medicinal herbs, seemingly scattered randomly on the ground, appeared to have no end in sight.

In reality, they were arranged in a formation.

A formation similar to the Illusion Array.

。。。

In just a moment, all seven to eight thousand disciples on the platform had disappeared without a trace.

As they vanished, on the empty platform, a huge scroll measuring hundreds of feet in height appeared and started slowly unfolding.

Within the scroll, a vast valley was revealed, with all the Grand Medicine Sect disciples who had just disappeared standing in the valley.

Grand Medicine Sect has always emphasized fairness in such grand competitions.

Therefore, in order to prevent cheating, they would display the performance of all participants in front of everyone in such a special way.

However, outside of this huge scroll, a separate scroll suddenly appeared, opening up to reveal only a silhouette of a person, which was Jiang Yun.

This separate scroll naturally sparked confusion and discussion among the many onlookers.

"Oh, why is there a single scroll? The disciples inside look unfamiliar. I don’t think I’ve seen them before!"

"Yeah, why was he singled out? Seems like he was just mocking Martial Brother Guan with Xiao Zheng earlier!"

When Jiang Yun entered the Grand Medicine Sect, hardly anyone knew, let alone that he was allowed to join the Drug Competition, so many disciples didn’t recognize him.

Just as everyone was feeling confused, a voice filled with resentment rang out from the crowd, "Because he’s not a disciple of our sect at all, he’s Jiang Yun from the Seeking-Tao Sect!"

The speaker was a big man in heavy armor, his right hand wrapped in layers of bandages, gritting his teeth and glaring fiercely at Jiang Yun.

This person was none other than Guo Si, whose arm Jiang Yun had broken outside of Heavenly Pill City!

As a disciple of the Grand Medicine Sect, although he wasn’t a pharmacist, he wouldn’t miss such an exciting competition, so he came to watch with his injury.

Of course, he never expected to see Jiang Yun among the participants of the competition.

Upon hearing Guo Si’s words, the crowd first looked puzzled, then they all suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh, I remember now! Jiang Yun from the Seeking-Tao Sect is the one who killed my clan member, Liu Hao!"

"Him? What makes him qualified to participate in our sect’s grand competition?"

"Right, shouldn’t we capture him and punish him on the spot?"

"Silence!"

A loud shout suddenly exploded like thunder in everyone’s ears.

Elder Han, with a cold expression, stared at all the disciples and said, "After checking with the Law Enforcement Hall, Liu Hao’s death has nothing to do with Jiang Yun."

"No one should discuss this matter again, and especially not use it to target fellow sect members!"

Elder Han’s words made all the disciples immediately quiet, and many of them glanced discreetly at Yang Shizhong above.

Yang Shizhong smirked inwardly, knowing well that the statement was directed at him.

Elder Han continued, "Jiang Yun came to our sect seeking medicine, and chose to challenge the Five Barriers of the Medicine Path. So, we have arranged for him to participate in the grand competition!"

"Furthermore, it is said that this child has good talent. All of you make sure to observe him closely. He is neither from a medicine sect, nor does he practice medicine!"
