The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 683: The Meeting of Geniuses!
Chapter 683: The Meeting of Geniuses!
As they advanced from the city gate, the entire area held a desolate air. Occasionally, a gentle breeze would sweep past, bringing a sense of bleakness.
Before long, Ling Feng and his companions arrived at an abandoned medicinal herb garden. Though the surrounding buildings had mostly fallen into ruins, and the herb garden had essentially turned into a field of weeds, some rare plants still peeked through the tall grass.
Ling Feng stepped swiftly into the garden, crouched down, gently picked up some soil, and held it to his nose to take a sniff. A faint smile appeared on his face. "Fortunately, this spirit-gathering array has begun operating on its own, accumulating spiritual energy over time. The energy in the soil is enough to cultivate sky-tier medicinal herbs!"
He gave a little nudge with his mouth and released Zifeng. That fella loves to dig up the earth. Now is its chance to show off.

"Wakaka!"
Zifeng's eyes lit up with stars as he looked at the vast medicinal herb garden. Without hesitation, he began digging furiously.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng, Tuoba Yan, and the others chose a different direction from Zifeng and began searching for some eye-catching herbs.
"Seven-Star Flower, third-grade earth-tier herb!"
"Golden Sunflower, seventh-grade earth-tier herb!"
"..."
With the power of his Boundless Vision, Ling Feng soon located several precious herbs hidden among the thick weeds. Most of these herbs had long since gone extinct in the outside world. Even in Yan Cangtian's medicinal herb garden, or at the Alchemist Guild, such treasures were rare to come by.
By transplanting these herbs into his Five Elements Heavenly Palace, Ling Feng knew he could cultivate large quantities of these rare medicinal plants within a few years. Whether he sold them at auction or used them in alchemy, their value would be incalculable.
Just then, Ling Feng heard a burst of excited shouts, along with the sound of rustling grass, as if someone was approaching.
"Wow! An earth-tier herb!"
"Oh my god, this is a sky-tier herb! Haha, I'm rich!"
"Young Master Feng, Yingying, come quickly! I actually found a Blood Jade Spring Flower! This could even bring the dead back to life!"
Ling Feng looked toward the sound. Due to the severe suppression of spiritual consciousness on the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons, it was difficult to sense what was happening at a distance. If not for the loud voice, he might not have known that others were also in the medicinal herb garden.
"Blood Jade Spring Flower!" Feng Yan's figure flashed, moving to Huang Kaixuan's side. He looked at the golden-glowing flower in the grass and grinned. "Fatty Huang, although your cultivation isn't all that great, you're truly a unique talent in treasure hunting within the sects of the Tiansheng Empire!"
"Naturally!" Huang Kaixuan thumped his chest but then suddenly paused. "Wait, Young Master Feng, are you praising me or mocking me?"
"Praising you of course!" Lan Yingying chuckled as she walked over with quick steps.
Feng Yan, summoning his elemental force, was just about to collect the Blood Jade Spring Flower when he heard a clear voice shout from nearby.
"Wait!"
That voice, naturally, was from Ling Feng!
"Mm-hmm?"
Feng Yan looked up and saw a figure parting the surrounding grass and walking openly toward them.
"You can't collect a Blood Jade Spring Flower like that," Ling Feng said, stopping about ten paces away and shaking his head. "The Blood Jade Spring Flower may be a sky-tier herb, but if it comes into contact with a martial artist's true qi or elemental qi, it will immediately wither."
As a physician, Ling Feng could not bear to see such a precious herb destroyed by ignorance.
"But..." Fatty Huang looked at Ling Feng in shock. "How... how did you get in here?"
Seeing Fatty Huang's bewildered expression, Lan Yingying laughed. "Fatty Huang, didn't you claim your dragon-seeking technique was unmatched? How come someone else seems to have arrived at the ruins of the Huangji Sect before us?"
"Uh... this is just an accident!" Fatty Huang's face turned beet red. "Maybe he was lucky and got teleported near the ruins when he came in from outside!"
Before he could finish, two strikingly beautiful women flew over toward Ling Feng's side. Ling Feng's shout had obviously alarmed Tuoba Yan and Mu Qianxue, who thought something was wrong.
"Looks like we have company," muttered Fatty Huang, his face growing darker by the second.
"Hey, General Ling! Haha... we meet again!"
Just then, the three geniuses from the Canglan Sword Sect arrived as well. Spotting Ling Feng picking herbs in the medicinal herb garden, they greeted him first, fearing the wrath of this formidable presence.
"..."
This time, Fatty Huang couldn't hold his composure anymore. He had thought he'd be the first to find the ancient Huangji Sect ruins, but now...
If a crack were to open in the ground right now, he would definitely dive right in!
As Ding Peng and his group from the Canglan Sword Sect drew closer, they realized that other empire's geniuses were also present. They stopped in their tracks, hanging back behind Ling Feng's group. If a fight broke out and the situation turned unfavorable, they were prepared to flee.
"Seems like quite a crowd here!"
Feng Yan raised an eyebrow, but he showed no intention of attacking the unexpected guests. Instead, he looked at Ling Feng and said calmly, "I am Feng Yan, from the Tiansheng Empire. May I know your name?"
"Tianbai Empire, Ling Feng," Ling Feng replied, meeting Feng Yan's gaze with a composed expression.
Ling Feng sensed an intimidating pressure from Feng Yan. His strength was no less than that of Yan Jinghong, perhaps even greater.
However, Feng Yan seemed older than Yan Jinghong. In terms of talent, Yan Jinghong was still the strongest person Ling Feng had encountered so far. There was no doubt about that.
"So, a friend from the Tianbai Empire," Feng Yan mused, as he observed Ling Feng and his companions.
Ling Feng appeared utterly unremarkable, as if there was nothing special about him. His cultivation level seemed only to be around the fifty meridian gates. Yet, this seemingly mediocre person showed no fear in the face of Feng Yan's aura, and the two remarkable women beside him seemed to hold him in high regard.
This person is no ordinary man!
Feng Yan gave a faint smile, clasping his fists in salute. "Brother Ling, you mentioned that the Blood Jade Spring Flower should not be collected using true qi. I have never heard of this before. Could you enlighten me?"
