As he progressed, Gu Chen found himself transported to a mountainous area. Like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, he couldn't help but explore his surroundings.

He saw many exotic flowers and fruits, which, nurtured by the abundant Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi within the mystical realm, were not quite celestial treasures but still possessed some medicinal properties.

If ordinary people were to take them, they would surely expel all kinds of illnesses and even strengthen their bodies.

Gu Chen had tried one on his way; it was delicious, juicy, and full, but it had no effect on him. It was no different from eating tasty fruit.

However, if the ordinary flowers and fruits were already like this, the celestial materials and treasures within the mystical realm naturally possessed even more extraordinary powers.

After traveling alone for half an hour, Gu Chen suddenly heard the sounds of fighting not too far away.

"Kill!"

"This is mine..."

"Get lost!"

Gu Chen's hearing was excellent. Though some distance away, he could already make out some of the conversation. Clearly, some martial artists were fighting over something.

Whoosh!

Gu Chen lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot. Having perfected the Controlling Wind Step Shadows, a Superior Martial Skill, his speed had greatly increased, as if his legs had grown wings, incredibly fast.

His figure flashed, and he crossed a distance of ten zhang in the blink of an eye, moving with astonishing swiftness. In just a moment, Gu Chen had arrived at the destination.

"Hand it over!"

"No, this treasure is mine!"

"Yours? Surrender it or die!"

"Kill!"

Not far off was a dense forest. At this moment, about twenty martial artists were gathered there, engaged in a fierce battle.

Although the mystical realm was vast, the number of martial artists under forty in East Province and even from other provinces who had rushed over after hearing the news was substantial, making it easy for them to gather together.

Moreover, while the transmission was random, it did not mean that a group of people could not be sent to the same location at the same time.

The group of martial artists came from various sects and powers, including several independent cultivators. One of these independent martial artists held a blue flower in his hand, translucent as if made of crystal, shimmering with spiritual light—an extraordinary specimen.

"Is this... an ancient spiritual medicine, the Spirit Gathering Flower?" Gu Chen's eyes shifted slightly as he recognized its origin.

After learning that the mystical realm was about to open, during his time in Yan Region, Gu Chen made sure to study up on various ancient spiritual medicines and celestial treasures to enhance his knowledge.

Otherwise, if he arrived in the ancient mystical realm and failed to recognize a treasure before his eyes, missing out on it, the fault would be grave.

The Spirit Gathering Flower, an ancient spiritual medicine now extinct in the Nine Provinces, could only be born where Spiritual Qi converged.

A single Spirit Gathering Flower, containing profound Spiritual Qi, could be beneficial even to a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

For a martial artist at the Transcendent Stage or the Hundred Orifices Stage, one Spirit Gathering Flower could save them years of arduous cultivation, help them undergo blood refining and marrow cleansing multiple times, or to put it another way, open up many orifices.

"I'll say it again, hand over the spiritual object!"

A saber-wielding martial artist from a first-rate power in East Province looked sternly at the independent cultivator who had picked the Spirit Gathering Flower.

To him, the other was just an independent cultivator. Killing him would be of no concern. What could he do about it?

The independent cultivator who had picked the Spirit Gathering Flower, along with a few of his companions, formed a group. They were fortunate that among the dozen or so independent cultivators who had teamed up, five of them had been transported together to this place without being separated.

"I found it first, why should I give it to you!" the few independent cultivators clenched their teeth, unwilling to hand over the Spirit Gathering Flower.

Even if they were to consume it together, this one Spirit Gathering Flower was enough for them to greatly advance their cultivation.

It was just unfortunate that the moment they picked the Spirit Gathering Flower, more than a dozen martial artists discovered them and had them surrounded here.

"Spirit Gathering Flower?"

Suddenly, an exclamation was heard, followed by the appearance of several disciples of the Tianyun Sect from not too far away, walking up to the scene.

When the warriors from the top faction of East Province, Tianyun Sect, appeared, the expressions of everyone within the dense forest instantly changed.

More importantly, although everyone here was in the Transcendent Stage, among the Tianyun Sect disciples, there was a martial artist at the mid phase of the Hundred Orifices Stage, powerful enough to crush everyone in the forest.

The moment Gu Chen saw the warriors of the Tianyun Sect, his pupils immediately narrowed.

"Good, it's fate that upon entering the mystical realm, I find such a spiritual medicine. Hand it over."

The leader of the Tianyun Sect's martial artists, named Hu Fan, was thirty-six years old, with a mid-phase Hundred Orifices Stage cultivation, having opened forty-two orifices in his body.

He had thought that his martial arts cultivation would remain at this level for the rest of his life; unexpectedly, he learned of the emergence of the mystical realm, which excited him to the extreme.

Moreover, Hu Fan had not expected that upon entering the mystical realm, not only was he accompanied by several of his sect's disciples, but he had also encountered the ancient spiritual medicine, the Spirit Gathering Flower, after just a short walk.

Hu Fan felt that his luck was extraordinarily good, as if he had become the child of fortune for this world. He thought that if this luck continued, perhaps he could reach the Great Perfection of the Hundred Orifices Stage or even break through to the Innate Realm within the mystical realm?

With this thought, a dense smile emerged on Hu Fan's burly face, crowned by thick brows.
