Chapter 160: Even the Maids Are Better than You
```
Wu Wenxuan swept his gaze over the elders from the various major Sects and said indifferently, "Although the Congyun Sect is in decline and no longer as glorious as in the past, we do not fear trouble."
"Oh? Heh, I heard that Elder Wu, you were injured at your core in a previous encounter, and such injuries to the core are not so easily healed, are they? And Elder Wu, you are also of advanced age; I wonder how much longer this body can hold out?"
The elder from the Li Mountain Sword Sect said with a chuckle, yet his eyes flashed with a sharp edge.
"Elder Wu, today you show such assertiveness towards the Tianxuan elder from the Taixuan Sect. Do you feel that your days are numbered and thus you muster your strength to intimidate us?"
The elder from the Red Daen Gate also spoke, although there was a smile on his face, it was a cold one.
The elders from the other major Sects around them all stared at Wu Wenxuan with cold, mocking smiles, like a pack of wolves surrounding their prey.
Wu Wenxuan remained calm, "Indeed, my lifespan is not much longer, but as long as I am alive for a day, you need not think about taking advantage of my Congyun Sect!"
...
After passing through the space vortex, Qinchuan and Zhou Xi, among others, smoothly entered the Myriad Spirit Garden.
The Myriad Spirit Garden is an incredibly vast secret realm.
Within the entire secret realm, there were numerous medicinal fields that once nurtured endless Spirit Grasses and Heavenly Treasures Materials.
However, many of the medicinal fields are now desolate.
Because, after the decline of the Congyun Sect, the Myriad Spirit Garden became public domain.
Every time the Myriad Spirit Garden was opened, these forces would enter in droves, utterly disregarding the rules, rampantly taking various Spirit Grasses and Heavenly Treasures Materials without leaving roots.
This caused many Spiritual Medicines to vanish.
The rules that Qinchuan had mentioned earlier before entering the garden were the rules for harvesting Spiritual Medicines adhered to by the disciples of the Congyun Sect in the past.
Only by following these rules could the Spiritual Medicines in the Myriad Spirit Garden continue to thrive for a long time.
However, at this moment,
Looking at the desolate medicinal fields before him, even though Qinchuan had expected as much, he couldn't help but feel a bit angry.
The desolate medicinal fields before him were, without a doubt, the result of the disrespectful actions of the disciples from the various forces who entered the garden to harvest, ignoring the established rules.
This led to the extinction of many Spiritual Medicines in the Myriad Spirit Garden today.
Fortunately, the Myriad Spirit Garden was large and vast enough.
Otherwise, if it was pillaged every thousand years by the various forces like a locust plague, the Spiritual Medicines in the Myriad Spirit Garden would likely have been completely extinct.
Nevertheless, although the Heavenly Treasures Materials in the Myriad Spirit Garden are no longer as abundant and prosperous as in the past, the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth within the garden is still very abundant.
This is after all a secret realm that he personally opened up long ago, with countless Gathering Spirit type Formations arranged underground.
In addition, he had communicated with the Divine Realm back then and drew a strand of the Divine Realm's Innate Qi into the earth, ensuring that the Spiritual Energy in the Myriad Spirit Garden would not diminish over time.
"Tenacious Bull Grass!"
"Brother Qin, I've found the Spiritual Medicine!"
From not far away came the excited shout of Li Ran.
Qinchuan looked over and saw in the overgrown medicinal field, a high-rank Spirit Grass called Tenacious Bull Grass quietly growing there.
"Hahaha, our luck is too good, to have found a high-rank Spiritual Medicine just as we entered. This Tenacious Bull Grass is extremely valuable."
As Li Ran was about to go harvest the Spirit Grass, he was stopped by Qinchuan, "Do not touch it!"
Li Ran was immediately taken aback.
```
Qinchuan shook his head and said, "This Celestial Bull Grass is still a sapling, not yet mature. Its medicinal properties haven't fully settled down, and its value for use in medicine isn't high. Let's leave it. Next time the Myriad Spirit Garden opens, this Celestial Bull Grass will surely be completely mature. Only fully mature Celestial Bull Grass can be considered high-rank Spiritual Medicine."
Although Li Ran felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, he still didn't touch the Celestial Bull Grass.
"Hahaha, it seems we're really in luck. To think that we'd find a stalk of high-rank Spiritual Medicine Celestial Bull Grass just as we entered!"
Just then, several Taixuan Sect disciples who had also been transported through the space vortex to where Qinchuan and the others were, immediately noticed the Celestial Bull Grass in front of Li Ran. One of the disciples was immediately overjoyed.

Following that, the several Taixuan Sect disciples turned their gazes onto Qinchuan and his companions, their delight growing even more.
One of them sneered, "It seems like it's a double surprise. Not only did we find a stalk of high-rank Spiritual Medicine just as we came in, but we also got transported to the same place as the people from Congyun Sect."
Qinchuan, last time at Congyun Sect, I was defeated by your hands, a disgrace of the greatest humiliation. I swore I must kill you; today, this Myriad Spirit Garden will be your final resting place!"
Qiong Yuhua and Yu Jing were among these Taixuan Sect disciples.
As for the Saint Heir of Taixuan Sect, Xiao Motian, and some other Taixuan Sect disciples, they were not present, obviously having been scattered when they passed through the space vortex, not having been transported together.
This was normal.
There were simply too many Taixuan Sect disciples who had come this time; it was impossible for all of them to enter the space vortex at the same time, so naturally, they were scattered during the transportation.
Qinchuan, Zhou Xi, and Li Ran, along with Wang Hao, four people in total, had entered the space vortex in sync, and thus were not scattered.
Seeing Qiong Yuhua and other Taixuan Sect disciples, Li Ran and Wang Hao's expressions instantly changed slightly.
In front of them, Qiong Yuhua and Yu Jing's group, which totaled up to nine people, had cultivation auras that were all exceedingly strong.
Aside from Qiong Yuhua and Yu Jing, there were three others dressed in the attire of true disciples of the Taixuan Sect, clearly indicating they were also true disciples of the Taixuan Sect.
Their side had a total of only four people. Not to mention cultivation level, they were already at a disadvantage just in terms of numbers, and in terms of cultivation level, they were also at a disadvantage, so naturally, they were on alert.
Qinchuan turned his head and took a cold look at Qiong Yuhua and Yu Jing, the two who were watching him with murderous intent, and said indifferently, "I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be two losers."
"Hmph, Qinchuan, it is said that one should examine old acquaintances with fresh eyes after a three-day absence. Although I was defeated by your hands in the past, the me of now is no longer the me from before."
"The state of mind you've comprehended is indeed formidable, but after returning to the sect, I trained diligently, using illusion techniques to stabilize my spirit, and will not fall into your state of mind again. Today, I will wash away the humiliation of that day!"
"Kill!"
Yu Jing snorted coldly and leapt out like a fierce tiger. Simultaneously, his longsword was drawn, exuding a chilling cold, as he slashed toward Qinchuan.
Confronting Yu Jing's assault, Qinchuan seemed unfazed, not even shifting his stance in the slightest: "A loser like you isn't qualified to exchange blows with me. Even the maid by my side is stronger than you."
"Zhou Xi, he's all yours," said Qinchuan lightly.
Zhou Xi, upon hearing these words, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly, giving Qinchuan an annoyed glare, apparently dissatisfied with his tone.
Yet her movements bore no hesitation, immediately darting out from beside Qinchuan.
After awakening the Taiyin Treasure Body, Zhou Xi's potential had greatly increased, and her rate of training had also greatly enhanced.
Moreover, Qinchuan's teachings that day, revealing many methods and techniques regarding cultivation, had given her an epiphany, advancing her cultivation by leaps and bounds. She had already broken through the shackles of the Meridian Opening Realm Third Layer's peak, advancing to the Meridian Opening Realm Fourth Layer.
Although in terms of cultivation level, she was still somewhat inferior to Yu Jing, the Taiyin Treasure Body was known to be comparable to a Supreme Body. She had endured no less than eight streams of Innate Qi when she was awakened, her potential boundless, and her power unimaginable.
The Power of Taiyin she had cultivated was many times more powerful than it had been initially.
A bright flash of sword light flickered, and in an instant, a bone-chilling cold seemed to freeze the soul.
Yu Jing only felt a terrifying chill suddenly invading his body, causing his movements to become significantly more rigid and slowed.
Then, with a "clang," Yu Jing was sent flying with his sword, blood spurting from his mouth, as a thick layer of ice crystallized over his chest. His pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints.
