After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 285 Easy to catch
"Thank you for the medicine, Peak Master."

"Hey...it hurts."

"Thank goodness there's an antidote, otherwise I really would have died here."

Everyone collapsed to the ground, terrified.

To be honest, it wasn't really dangerous; it was just that it all happened so suddenly.

One moment they were excited to be able to enter the house, the next they were in danger, some were poisoned and some were injured.

My beautiful fantasy about the house was shattered—

If things are like this outside, what about inside?
It's obvious that this is something their cultivation level is not capable of handling!
what a shame.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't gone to the river to drink water, this wouldn't have happened," a male disciple said remorsefully, looking dejected.

"It's not your fault. Nobody provoked the scorpion, and it came out on its own, didn't it?"

"That's right, it just means there's danger there, and it's not suitable for us to go."

"Oh well, what's done is done. There are other good things here anyway. We're already lucky to have survived."

The other disciples offered words of comfort.

No one noticed the fleeting look of guilt on Chen Lan's face when she heard "Nobody messes with scorpions".

Well, actually, neither the creature in the water nor the scorpion came by accident.

All of this happened thanks to her instigation. She could have stopped the male disciple when he approached the river, but she didn't.

How can we stop them? If we do, then Wuyamen will have no reason to take their place.

This is just right. It seems that some of the disciples are poisoned, but she has the antidote, so they won't lose their lives. They can also legitimately watch others scout ahead for her.

Tsk, let the Wuya Sect people do their work. These days they've been following the Xianlai Sect's team around picking up the scraps, it's time for them to take the lead.

"Don't worry about it. There's always danger wherever you go, so it's not your fault. You all handled things very well today. No one panicked and stood still to wait to die. You all deserve praise," Chen Lan said with a smile, regaining her composure.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.

"You all rest here for now. Each squad leader will be responsible for patrolling. I'll be leaving for a bit."

Seeing that everyone was either resting or recuperating, Chen Lan got up and left.

The disciples were already used to her leaving and didn't take it seriously, assuming she might be scouting the area.

To be fair, the disciples of the Immortal Sect were quite self-disciplined. Even when Chen Lan wasn't around, no one caused any trouble. Everyone stayed put and followed the rules.

Actually, it wasn't like this at the beginning. It's hard to manage when there are too many people. When we first entered the secret realm, everyone felt it was novel and had the excitement of going out for a trip.

Even though Chen Lan told everyone not to leave the group without permission, some people still secretly left because they were attracted by a spiritual herb or a monster on the road.

However, these people have already learned their lesson, and over time everyone has learned the rules, and no one does it anymore.

Meanwhile, Chen Lan was rapidly approaching the mansion.

[Haha, half of those people have already perished in the formation!]

[How foolish! They were blinded by the sight of the treasure, not even considering the primary use of the Divine Joy Wood. Did they really think this family was using it merely for decoration?]

Besides its common uses, Divine Joy Wood has another function that all array masters find extremely appealing—

It is one of the best array-setting artifacts! Divine Joy Wood is very versatile and can be used in many array formations.

It is only because of its high value and rarity that ordinary array masters cannot obtain it. They have no choice but to settle for something cheaper instead.

However, changing the components will naturally reduce the effectiveness of the formation.

That family, however, was very wealthy and powerful. They had set up many formations in their house, including a series of very subtle and interconnected formations, with the first formation located right at the main gate.

There may be talisman masters and array masters among the people of Wuya Sect, but they were all stunned by the huge Divine Joy Wood, and were filled with greed and surprise, without thinking about what this meant.

If they had realized there were traces of an array at the beginning and taken precautions, even if they couldn't completely avoid it, at least they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!

At this point, Wuya Sect was already deeply entangled in a series of interconnected formations, first a killing formation, then an illusion formation, and then a poison formation was triggered.

Chen Lan walked to the entrance of the house. The area had been cleared away by the Wuya Sect and was no longer dangerous.

She looked at the Divine Joy Wood used to make the gate, a hint of apprehension in her eyes—

Let alone the Wuya Sect, even she wouldn't have thought of it as a formation after recognizing it as Divine Joy Wood!

It can only be said that the people of Wuyamen deserved their fate.

[Senior sister, close your eyes, don't go through the main entrance, walk three body lengths to the side.]

[Great! We made it through safely, and even avoided the formation!]

However, there are other formations to come.

Mo Jiuwei was a little anxious for Chen Lan and wanted to get out, but what reassured her was that even without her guidance, her senior sister had successfully avoided all the formations on her own.

This made Mo Jiuwei laugh heartily, without giving any thought to the reason.

Chen Lan took a different route than Wuyamen. They stayed within the formation, starting from the main gate and walking straight to a secluded courtyard, far from the center of the house.

Chen Lan, however, took the normal route and headed straight for the main hall, avoiding all dangers along the way thanks to Mo Jiuwei's reminders.

Wow, quick! What a huge herb garden! Let's gather them all!

These are rare medicinal herbs, thousands or even tens of thousands of years old! Many of them are extinct on other continents. They are incredibly precious!

[They still have roots and soil, so we can plant them on the hill behind our house!]

Mo Jiuwei was excited when she saw the large medicinal herb garden.

Many medicinal herbs have become extinct in mainland China because they have been harvested to the point of extinction.

If you are a proper alchemist or someone with some pharmacological knowledge, you will know that some medicinal herbs can be harvested with their roots intact, while others must have their roots preserved.

If the roots are left, they can grow again next year, and after many years they will become a good medicinal plant again.

However, some people are too lazy to deal with it, while others are simply malicious and grab it indiscriminately, resulting in the destruction and extinction of many rare medicinal herbs.

Some of the conditions that these drugs correspond to have become terminal illnesses, which can no longer be cured and can only be treated slowly with other drugs.

However, this place contains many rare medicinal herbs that are not found elsewhere, meaning that if they are properly cared for, these herbs will not become extinct.

Perfect! This job is just right for the people of the Divination Clan. It would be most suitable for them to tend to the flowers, plants, and spiritual plants!

With Mo Jiuwei's reminder, Chen Lan quickly gathered all the medicinal herbs, so many that her hands went numb.

Wow, so many treasures, and they've got them so easily!
